* AlmightyJanitor: Lancer, Cu Chulainn, the Hound of Ulster, Ireland’s Son of Light, works at a supermarket. To an extent, Archer fits this as Tohsaka’s "creepy butler."

* BoisterousBruiser: Lancer’s solution to an enemy his lance thrusts backfired on is to hit it ''harder.''

* CannotSpitItOut: Averted. Archer manages to tell Rin he wants to go with her when it’s already too late.

-->''Gilgamesh was going to approach Rin to work for him. Rin, unknowing who he was exactly, was going to take the offer. Archer cut her off and it ended in combat. Or rather, bound in divine chains with Gilgamesh laughing in his ear as something poked him that he really didn’t want to think about.''

* DoubleEntendre: Lancer’s full of them.

-->'''Ayako:''' Ack! God you’re still doing it.

-->'''Ayako:''' You’re doing it again, Lancer!

--> ''Ayako wasn’t seeing Happily Ever After in their future, but she was seeing Happily Now.''

* ICallHimMisterHappy: "You did not just refer to your genitalia as ‘my boys.’"

* IntergenerationalFriendship: Archer and Lancer, after a fashion. They both come from two different time periods. They’re not friends yet, but the premise of the story all but guarantees they will be.

-->''Next person who says, “I know what kind of person you are, I’ve read your story,” to me is going to get my fist in their face.''

* SensitiveGuyAndManlyMan: Archer’s the sensitive guy and Lancer’s the manly man.

* SuperpowerLottery: Ethan’s power is pretty good. Elouise refers to the trope by name

* TheNoseKnows: Lancer’s got it.

* TooDumbToLive: Sêhinji propositions a vampire for sexual favors in return for shelter. She starts giving a blowjob and [[{{Squick}} uses her teeth.]]
* {{Tsundere}}: Rin is the obvious one. Archer is much less so. Doesn’t stop Sakura from calling him on it.

* WineIsClassy: Gilgamesh loves his booze and is willing to share! Even if Archer can’t hold his own worth a damn.
