* CessationOfExistence: [[spoiler:By SAO standards, the VirtualGhost Yuuna pulls another HeroicSacrifice by telling Kirito to defeat the Floor 100 Boss and save everyone, but as her AI programming was tied to the Boss's data, it meant she would cease to exist as well.

* HandicappedBadass: In SAO. Nautilus was a considerably skilled swordsman and had large knowledge of the One-Handed Sword Skills, which was enough to get him scouted by the Knights of the Blood Oath once he reached the appropriate level. However he had a Full-Dive Non-Conformity which, in his case, was giving priority to the commands of his lower cerebral centres, the origin of instincts, instead of the higher centres, responsible for reason, thus making Nautilus's avatar unresponsive when at times of perceived danger. Only instead of being able to fight with this handicap to make him appear more badass, it ends up hindering him greatly to the point where it's agreed by Asuna and Heathcliff that he shouldn't take part in Boss Fights after being TheLoad on a grinding mission and later [[spoiler: leads to Yuna's death.]]
