* HeelFaceTurn: After Shin beats Dark Shinkalion and takes Abuto to Earth, he goes completely back how he used to be. The evolved Dark Shinkalion Absolute [[GoodCostumeSwitch is also mostly white]] ironically.



* ContrastingSequelAntagonist: Kitoralsus were a large family of [[WellIntentionedExtremist Well-Intentioned Extremists]] with a regular ADayInTheLimelight explaining their common motives and thought process. Their operatives tried to learn about humanity by turning specific elements of modern civilization into kaiju and made notes of their failures. Teoti instead have 2 on-field members and 2 commanders, their plans and origins are kept a mystery for the majority of their series, they keep attacking underground structures outside the cities and rarely get along with each other.

to:

* ArmiesAreEvil: Only Teoti leadership act as actual villains. The civilians are rather passive and sympathize with Earthlings as much as with Kannagi.

Teoti instead have 2 on-field members and 2 commanders, their plans and origins are kept a mystery for the majority of their series, they keep attacking underground structures outside the cities and rarely get along with each other. Also unlike Kitoralsus, who were a DyingRace of warriors, there's a huge portion of friendly Teoti civilians.



* TakenForGranite: Compared to other major villains, Wadatsumi gets crystallized when defeated for good.



* AssholeVictim: Considering through how much struggle Valtom put both the humans and Teoti through, it's not as shocking he [[spoiler:gets rather graphically melted inside Arabaki]].



* HateSink: Unlike other Teoti who pridefully believe Earth is theirs, Valtom seeks more power for power's sake and isn't above backstabbing his comrades.



* DroppedABridgeOnHim: [[spoiler:{{Subverted}}. Just when he was about to experience DefeatMeansFriendship, he subconsciously activates more power at the cost of sanity. He regains his senses right when his two soldiers were about to commit HeroicSacrifice and takes Abuto's FinishingMove upfront. He stillmanaged to survive and apologized for everything]].



* RankScalesWithAsskicking: He questions why Teoti even need Dark Shinkalion and for a good reason, it takes a CombinationAttack of 8 Shinkalions to even harm him.



* BigSisterInstinct: In the final episode, she begs the Shinkalions to save Kannagi, as it turns out Kannagi is her younger brother. Shin even compares her feelings toward Kannagi with his own big sister's feelings towards him.

to:

* AntiGravityClothing: Some parts of her costume aren't attached to anything, but act as they do.
* BigSisterInstinct: In Near the final episode, finale, she begs the Shinkalions to save Kannagi, as it turns out Kannagi is her younger brother. Shin even compares her feelings toward Kannagi with his own big sister's feelings towards him.



* FlingALightIntoTheFuture: When Astraea called to him to abandon his human life, he left the Z-Codes near the Keystones for others to find.



* TakingYouWithMe: Before Kannagi can interfere, Tokonami explodes the bridge and the throne room gets drifted off from Yuggothpeia with them inside. He didn't account for Valtom still being loose though, nor for Kannagi going into extremes to get back.

* WildCard: Anyone who's watched the last show knows that Sogyoku has no issues with changing allegiance when it suits him. About the only thing all the factions he's sided with have in common is that the they all violently antagonize humanity.
