* ArrowCatch: Pulled off by Saya, naturally.



* CliqueTour: Saya gives Marcus one as she introduces him to the assassins' school. The cliques in this case composed of the children of violent groups. The "Dixie Mob" are redneck neo-Nazis, the "Preps" are rich CIA/FBI, the "Jersey Kings" are East Coast mobsters, the "Soto Vatos" are [[TheCartel drug cartel kids]], the "Kuroki Syndicate" is {{Yakuza}}, and the "Final World Order" are LA gang bangers.

to:

* BreakingSpeech: Shabnam gives a devastating one to Kendal the prep, describing in detail the proof he has of Kendal’s relationship with Stephen, and how he has people on the outside waiting to send that proof to Kendal’s CIA father unless Kendal does what he wants and murder his own boyfriend so Shabnam gets the credit.
* BringMyBrownPants: Marcus’s attempt to fart on an annoying co-worker at the comic store after eating a bad burrito goes ''horribly'' wrong…
* CliqueTour: Saya Willie gives Marcus one as she introduces him to the assassins' school. The cliques in this case composed of the children of violent groups. The "Dixie Mob" are redneck neo-Nazis, the "Preps" are rich CIA/FBI, the "Jersey Kings" are East Coast mobsters, the "Soto Vatos" are [[TheCartel drug cartel kids]], the "Kuroki Syndicate" is {{Yakuza}}, and the "Final World Order" are LA gang bangers.



* DeadGuyOnDisplay: Marcus spills the beans that Willie never killed anyone to Gabe, another guy in their class. Gabe, furious, goes to confront Willie. Shortly afterwards, Gabe is found impaled on a flag pole, and the classmates can all tell someone is sending a message.
* DecapitationPresentation: An unwitting case. Marcus and Maria grab Chico’s head to dispose of it so no one can trace his death back to them, and walk smack into his father, presenting him with proof that his son is dead.
* TheDogBitesBack: Literally! Marcus opens a cage for one of Chester’s abused dogs and it immediately tears him to pieces.



* EvilIsPetty: Shabnam’s rise to the top is motivated largely because Marcus slept with the girl he liked and didn’t invite him to parties.



* InstantlyProvenWrong: When Shabnam corners him, Marcus emphatically denies having had sex with Grogda. Naturally, she picks that exact moment to walk in and accuse Marcus of getting her pregnant.



* LetsSplitUpGang: One member of Willie’s old crew suggest this while hunting him down, but the others immediately shoot this down.
—->: “Split up? What are you, some dumb bitch in a horror movie? We stick together, you dumb motherfucker.”



* OrificeInvasion: During the fight with Chester’s gang, Maria drives a pitchfork into one their mouths.
* OrphanageOfFear: Marcus lived in one of these before the story began, complete with an EvilOrphanageLady who scarred his face. His flashback reveals it was little more than a sweatshop. He eventually fought back, seriously injuring her and her cronies, and Chester burned the place down in the chaos.



* PleaseWakeUp: After [[spoiler: Willie]] is shot by Viktor, Marcus drags him into cover and begs his lifeless body to get up.



* RememberTheNewGuy: Parodied mercilessly during Freshman Finals. Marcus, Petra and Billy are looking for a way to escape their murderous classmates when a kid named Pauly runs up to join them. None of them have a clue who he is, beyond the fact he’s literally wearing a RedShirt, but Viktor, who has a clear shot, lowers his weapon and refuses to shoot Pauly.
* RhymesOnADime: The Dixie Mob, as a bunch of psycho cheerleaders, do this as they attack their classmates.



* ThenLetMeBeEvil: Invoked by Chico’s father in the flashback to when he killed Maria’s family, although he was evil well before this anyway.
—->”Behind my back, you, my neighbours, call me ‘El Alma Del Diablo.’ Time to live up to it.”



* TraitorShot: During the Freshman Finals, Shabnam gets a phone call from some he calls “a desperate rat”, and he guarantees their safety. [[spoiler: The scene cuts to Marcus, Petra and Billy holed up in Chester’s old place, and as Marcus finds Billy in a darkened room, there is a large panel focusing ominously on a phone in there. ]]



* VivaLasVegas: The first real arc is this. However, the plot focuses on [[spoiler: Marcus trying to survive two killers who are out for him]].

* WellDoneSonGuy: Viktor’s father is as abusive as half the cast’s (that is to say, very), but rather than try to become a SelfMadeOrphan like them, he strives to gain his father’s respect and atone for his failure to protect his mother and sisters.
* WhyWontYouDie: Marcus yells this at [[spoiler: Viktor]] after plowing into him with a VW Beetle. [[spoiler: Viktor]] clings to the car with one hand, wields an assault rifle in the other, and screams that nothing can kill him.
* WithFriendsLikeThese: Marcus recalls going to a party full of the preps and jocks, and how they would all talk and laugh like true friends, but the moment one of them left the room, the others would immediately tear them down behind their backs. It makes him miss his real friends.
* YourApprovalFillsMeWithShame: When Marcus, Petra and Billy are on the run, Marcus, still hurting from his falling out with Saya and Willie, gives an over-the-top thank you to Billy for being such a good friend. [[spoiler:Since it’s implied Billy has sold them out to Shabnam, Billy is very uncomfortable. ]]
YourCheatingHeart: While with Maria, Marcus goes with Saya to a concert and they end up having sex in a park.

* GenreDeconstruction: What happens when a selection of fundamentally decent kids with no combat training go to a school full of violent brutes who were trained in murder since their youth? In a conventional story, the inexperienced and decent kids would somehow rally and defeat their tormentors. In this one, almost all of the kids who don't want to kill people or who just lack experience die. [[spoiler:By issue 37, of all the initial 'rats' who showed up without experience, only Marcus and Stephen are still alive.]]
