* ArtisticLicenseEngineering: The kind of catastrophic ElevatorFailure depicted is ''very'' unlikely because of the multiple safety mechanisms in modern elevators. In the first place, there are usually multiple hoist cables, which can individually hold up the car's entire weight and collectively hold up multiple times the car's weight. It would take a ''real'' freak accident to sever them all at once. If the computer controlling the elevator detects anything unsafe, it will shut off the motor and apply the brakes, which include both a clamp that closes on the pulley above the car, and safety brakes underneath the car that jam a metal brake into the guide rails along which the elevator travels. Lastly, there is a set of counterweights on the opposite end of the cables that attatch to the car, which weigh slightly more than an empty car and slightly less than a full car, so that even if every other safety system failed the ascent or descent would accelerate only slowly, and the car would eventually come to a rough but hopefully survivable stop. Whatever the case, the elevator would not immediately plunge uncontrolled down the shaft in the manner depicted just from some cables snapping. Granted, a supernatural curse could contrive such a catastrophic failure across multiple systems, but the police talk as if the cables snapping was the only thing that caused the accident.

* CosmicFlaw: [[spoiler:The cause of the curse is ultimately this. After a student beloved by the whole school tragically died, they all pretended he was still alive, up until the day they graduated. However, in doing so they "brought their class closer to death", essentially causing a malfunction in reality. Thus, a single deceased person was to be resurrected every year as an extra student, with the memories of the living being rewired in accordance. Now a paranormal force is attempting to rectify this mistake, using causality to engineer the Extra's death and return them to the grave but most of the time, it is one of the ''living'' who ends killed.]]

* AbsurdlyPowerfulStudentCouncil: In this case, an absurdly powerful class officer in the form of Izumi Akazawa, "Head of Countermeasures". It's justified and downplayed in that while her resources and power are limited mostly to the class and some school faculty, she is nonetheless responsible for researching, devising and implementing "[[ProtectiveCharm Charms]]" that can keep the class safe and ''alive''. [[spoiler:For example, she has the power to UnPerson a classmate, as done to Mei and later when she decided to "strengthen" the charm by also unpersoning Kouichi. And can get the faculty to follow along. A previous officer many years ago came up with the idea, showing the position is historically quite powerful.]]

* {{Curse}}: The class is technically under the effect of not one but ''three''. First, a dead person (the "Extra") joins the class. The process of the Extra entering the class causes LaserGuidedAmnesia to make everyone (including themselves) forget they'd died and papering over any inconsistencies and forging documentation. The third, the "Calamity", is far more dangerous and is a response to the first. Because of the imbalance in class 3-3, there being one more person than there are assigned seats, the Calamity will start trying to [[BalancingDeathsBooks "balance the books"]] by killing the Extra. But since it is also affected by the amnesia it kills people randomly, including family members of those in the class.
* CurseEscapeClause: The Calamity has no known way of being truly ended, however the students of class 3-3 have devised a ProtectiveCharm that can keep them safe. This being to designate a student as a [[UnPerson non-person]], and having them and their homeroom teacher ignore them for the entire school year. This is believed to "balance out" the Extra student throwing off the correct number of students. However, this charm only has a 50% success rate, sometimes failing for explainable reasons (the non-person breaking under the pressure and demanding to be acknowledged) and sometimes not.
** Before that though, a student found an alternative solution by accident. [[spoiler:Katsumi Matsunaga of the 1998 class got into an argument with another student that turned violent, and accidentally pushed him onto a branch and he died. Wracked with guilt, and confused no one noticed the other student was missing, he returned to the scene of the crime to find nothing but broken branches. He had unknowingly killed the Extra, and this restored balance to the class. Knowing the curse caused LaserGuidedAmnesia and rewrote records, he taped his findings onto a cassette and hid it, hoping a future class could use this knowledge to save themselves.]]
