* TookALevelInJerkass: In episode 10 [[spoiler: Izumi forces Mei to "apologize" for this year's calamity]] even though Kouichi, Teshigawara and Mochisuki call her out on how pointless it was. To be fair, Mei's attitude up to this point, where it appears her negligence has caused the Calamity to start in the first place, doesn't make it seem like this way to the rest of the class; to them, Mei's a selfish sociopath who doesn't care the rests of them are dying because of a mistake she made.

She nearly gets killed herself for this.

* ArtisticLicensePhysics: Real fire would burn much, much faster in addition to producing massive quantities of smoke. Also, yanking someone up by the throat the way [[spoiler: Takako]] dies is much more likely to either rip their head completely off or break their neck. Death by hanging actually usually snaps your neck from the drop; you're only strangled to death if you have an incompetent or sadistic executioner. The Calamity apparently qualifies as both, though.

* CameBackWrong: [[spoiler: Takako's]] justification for the glass to attack Mei: [[spoiler: her eyepatch]] is a sign she came back incomplete. Somewhat tragic, since [[spoiler: Takako]] is actually confusing [[spoiler: Mei]] and her [[spoiler: twin sister, Misaki]]; this is made doubly so if you know something about Japanese culture: [[spoiler: Takako]] remembers someone who looked ''just like'' [[spoiler: Mei]] named [[spoiler: Misaki]], but who, of course, had [[spoiler: both eyes]]. She assumes this means [[spoiler: Mei]] came back incomplete and is therefore the Extra. However, in Japanese culture, you only use first names with ''very'' close friends or family (Izumi and Takako are described as being "joined at the hip in the novel" and first-name each other, and Izumi specifically asks Kouichi for permission to call him this way in the anime). Thus, [[spoiler: Takako]] isn't being entirely truthful when she says she "knew" [[spoiler: Mei]] years earlier: they were actually fairly close friends, and now she thinks her old best friend is undead and causing her friends and classmates to die, and the only way to make it stop is to kill her.

** This can be interpreted other ways, however. While the attachment is definitely ''not'' healthy, it doesn't need to be romantic. She explains she's unwilling to kill [[spoiler: Kouichi]] because Izumi apparently has some feelings for him, and her exact words when she last speaks to Izumi are "If you had died ''too''...," suggesting the other was [[spoiler: Junta]], killed a few episodes previously. You can read this as a shy girl who's already lost one friend to the Calamity and can't bear the thought of the other being killed too.

[[AllLoveIsUnrequited The last one may be reciprocated]]. Yukari Sakuragi and Aya Ayano seemed to be interested in Kouichi too [[spoiler: but both girls die]], and Kazami apparently had a thing for Yukari, [[spoiler: as the audience learned [[{{Yandere}} when he went nuts partly because of it]].]] [[Spoiler: Izumi explains Takako's emotional instability is due to their previous trip to the beach, wherein Junta was very horrifically killed. While everyone else is horrified speach less, Takako screams very loudly, and is very nearly inconsolable at his funeral in the next episode. After surviving an encounter with the homicidal inn-keeper, she also admits to Izumi if the other girl had died ''too'', she'd probably not be able to keep going her self.]]

* GroinAttack: Kouichi gets one from [[spoiler: Takako]] in Episode 11.

to:

* GroinAttack: Kouichi gets one from [[spoiler: Takako]] in Episode 11. He gets another one from [[spoiler: Izumi]] in almost the exact same place for more or less the exact same reason in the finale.



** It's not really clear if [[spoiler: Takako]] could have been stopped with reason. The fact nobody even ''tries'' falls firmly into this category.



* KickTheDog: [[spoiler:Akazawa]] basically turns the whole class against Mei with their speech in Episode 10. To be fair, nobody had any idea [[spoiler:that Mei's actions as 'the nonexistent' ''couldn't'' have anything to do with the start of calamity at the point Kouichi transferred, so Akazawa's reasoning was valid.]] [[spoiler:Kazami]] murders a student in the last episode while she's begging Kouichi to help her, and shows exactly no remorse over it, even when he learns she wasn't the Extra. To put this in perspective, [[spoiler: Takako] ''does'' explain she's unwilling to [[spoiler: kill Kouichi]] because she's convinced he isn't the Extra. When [[spoiler: Akazawa]] beats him to death almost immediately thereafter, you can't help but feel by now he had it coming.

* KnightTemplar: Instead of the fear-fueled [[AxCrazy ax-craziness]] some of the characters give in to, Izumi's and Kazami's actions fall under this trope in the last episode.

*** [[spoiler: Kazami]] has just murdered two of her classmates and is about to kill a third on the ''off'' chance they might be the Extra, and Mei apparently very violently murdered [[spoiler: her best friend]]. Most people would be homicidally furious at that point.



* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Chibiki in Episode 12, who stops [[spoiler: Izumi attacking Kazami]] and points out that needlessly killing other students is ''not'' the best way to go about things.

At the same time, Izumi points out, up until this point he's done absolutely ''fuck all'' to help them (taking the first possible opportunity to leave the Inn and therefore not being present to deal with the homicidal old lady wandering around knifing people).

** It was apparently deemed graphic enough for [[spoiler: Takako to be shown in close up twice with her eyes bulging out of her skull that the upper half of her head is sensored whenever her body is shown.]]



* DemotedToExtra: Kazami in the anime. Despite being one of Kouchi's friends and a member of the mystery-solving gang in the manga, he's pretty much sent off-screen after the beginning of the anime.

[[Spoiler: And then he starts killing people.]] In a literal sense, [[spoiler: Chibiki]] becomes this in the film adaptation.


Added DiffLines:

* DiesWideOpen: Several times. Basically whenever a character's face is shown before their death, their eyes will be open. Special mention goes to [[Takako]], whose eyes are actually censored when her body is shown after her death.
