* AlienBlood: After the cast [[LetsSplitUpGang split up]] to explore the mansion, Saitama and Mob's group discover a well-stocked infirmary, and two sets of blood packs attracted immediate attention. One set was labeled as wolf blood, clearly meant for Legoshi... and the other was ''hot pink''. When the group reported their findings to the rest of the 40, Makoto was confused, because ''everyone'' has bright pink blood in his world.

* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: Usually, I can keep a cool head, but what Kae was trying to do was just so idiotic that I had to confront her with more emotion than what I usually mustered.

* SecretKeeper: Even though it's only delaying the inevitable, it's best for everyone (including Sae) to gradually figure out their true fictional status as the fic goes on then all at once. Plus, it's not like I can reveal anything of my volition thanks to the host and the author placing a RestrainingBolt on all of us.



* {{Telepathy}}: This is very useful to talk without having to use my mouth.

* {{Telepathy}}: This is very useful to talk without having using my mouth.
* TimeDissonance: Thanks
to use my mouth.MediumAwareness and status as a FourthWallObserver, I can tell that time is moving much faster in RealLife than in the dimension I'm stuck in. For one, I know that it's been a whopping ''three'' years since the start of this fic, whereas only a couple of hours have passed InUniverse.



* WithGreatPowerComesGreatResponsibility: I'm aware of my potential to rule or destroy the world, but I just want a quiet life, and I never use my powers for anything dishonest, only to help the people I believe deserve help or punish those I think deserve it. And boy do I make it clear to Kae how she's only abusing the meta-knowledge of The 40 to "help" them avoid suffering with no forethought of them possibly suffering an existential crisis or ruining their timelines if we ever go back.

* BigFishInABiggerOcean: In his own world, Gojo is a BornWinner amongst the Jujutsu Society with "Limitless" and "Six Eyes" being ''completely'' broken by the standards of the power system in ''Jujutsu Kaisen''. Then, Gojo gets a humbling experience by getting TrappedInAnotherWorld by an unknown entity with ease, since whatever it was, it's capable of overcoming the omni-senses of his Six Eyes. According to the author in chapter 26, in reply to [=Omnitheist27=], the cloaked figure would have Gojo's number in combat, with the chances of the latter winning being 0 to ''negative'' if the cloaked figure is going all out.

Always A Bigger Fish applies more for enemies (barring the cloaked figure due to its current behavior being quite different, according to word of god), with Big Fish In A Bigger Ocean being much more appropriate.


* AlwaysABiggerFish: In their worlds, Korra, Gojo, Saiki, Mob, and Saitama would be the WorldsStrongestMan, PhysicalGod, or InvincibleHero. Here, they're outclassed by The Cloaked Figure in both power and intelligence, with WordOfGod confirming to [=Omnitheist27=] that it can easily defeat them all even if they work together.



* PowerfulAndHelpless: Five of them are either the WorldsStrongestMan, PhysicalGod, or InvincibleHero in their worlds. Yet, they're pretty much at the mercy of whatever [[AlwaysABiggerFish The Cloaked Figure]] has intended for them in the story.

---> "So we can say that Hanako-kun sounds like Makoto-san and Midoriya-san, but doesn't sound like Okumura-san, and nor can we say he and Makoto-san don't sound like Midoriya-san? Or vice versa?" Honda looked dizzy from her own explanation and even felt his head turn about because of it as well.

* AlwaysABiggerFish: He rivals Gojo in this department regarding the Cloaked Figure's power overshadowing their own. In his own world, Saitama is the ComicallyInvincibleHero with next to ''nothing'' coming close to harming him (aside from potentially [[GreaterScopeParagon Blast]] or "[[GreaterScopeVillain God]]"). Not so much in ''The 40'' as he easily gets kidnapped by the Cloaked Figure and TrappedInAnotherWorld. Also, in the second-to-last chapter of ''Main Character Syndrome (With Exceptions)'', he gets knocked into the room by the door suddenly closing shut despite standing in place to keep it from suddenly closing. '''Repeat''', ''the strongest man who can defeat anybody and everybody with just one punch'' '''''gets pushed into a room by a door suddenly closing'''''.

* AlwaysABiggerFish: The Cloaked Figure is this to The 40, as confirmed by WordOfGod. It doesn't stop there, as it's even this among the other deities, such as The Truth, The Shinigami King, and many more.

* CruelToBeKind: Levi is not one to sugarcoat any situation and can come across as blunt and uncaring, [[WhatTheHell,Hero something members of the 40 have criticized]]. This attitude was a result of enduring the circumstances of his home world and merely wanting the younger members to not get too optimistic.



* FreakOut: Comes close to having one after acquiring his wristband and seeing Fuel's traumatic episode. And given his powers are connected to his emotional state, the results could have been very messy. Saiki helped resolve it by telepathically teaching him some breathing exercises.

* TheyreCalledPersonalIssuesForAReason: Just as in his home series, Spike values his privacy highly and respects others' in return. He is not amused when [[LetsWatchOurShowPlot the reason]] behind the group's "kidnapping" becomes apparent, and ''he's'' set up as the first subject. He attempts to destroy the offending DVD, ignoring Heine Wittgenstein's rational points, and has to be held back by U-1146.

* BiggerFishInABiggerOcean: Many members of The 40 were seen as either exceptional or the most powerful beings in their own worlds. But in TheMultiverse, they're all just a drop in the vast ocean teeming with an infinite amount of omnipotent and incomprehensible beings.

* AscendedMeme: Oh yes, it's so funny that I was seated between Saitama and Mob. The fandom sure loves to say that I'm a CompositeCharacter between them.

* TheGambler: {{Justified|Trope}} due to the school's curriculum. Though he isn't really good at it.

* YoungerThanTheyLook: Subverted for everyone else's case as the lifespan of normal white blood cells is three days. From U-1146's perspective, he's already a mature 'adult' neutrophil rather than a myelocyte. In the main ''Cells at Work!'' universe the real life short life span of cells is represented by changing clothes.
