* DisownedParent: In the flashback to the first season's fifth episode wherein the Professor assigns Rio and Tokyo to conduct an initial survey of the Royal Mint of Spain, Tokyo asks the Professor if it's because he thinks she's not good enough as a member of the heist team before following up with her mother, to which the Professor tells her that she died of a heart attack the previous day, and was worried about informing her because she wouldn't have been able to farewell her by that point. Tokyo tells him that she had effectively disowned her mother after her last call with her back at the beginning of the first episode, claiming that she was essentially trying to bring her to the police. [[SubvertedTrope She regrets her claim]] not long after, though, as she talks to Rio about her in a subsequent flashback.

** Late in the sixth episode of the second season, Denver comes close to disowning Moscow as his father when the latter reveals to him that he had left his late girlfriend and Denver's mother to die alone because she was drunk and couldn't get back to functioning normally at all, long after previously lying to him about her being an arrogant jerk whom he had to break up with (in an attempt to ensure Denver's well-being). He quickly retracts when he witnesses Moscow receiving a fatal wound while defending Tokyo during her return to the Mint in the episode's climax.

* KansasCityShuffle: The entire Royal Mint heist is a series of these. The Professor knows that the cops are not all incompetent, so he feeds them information in drips and directs their investigation towards dead ends and {{red herring}}s. He starts out by making the cops think that the hostage taking was incidental because it forces them into a certain protocol and makes them waste a day. He specifically designed parts of his plan to fail because it makes the cops think that they can win without having to storm the building. This all culminates in [[spoiler:the final escape plan: Moscow orders some of the hostages to dig a hole to a nearby tunnel the robbers know will be detected by the police, while he secretly digs a different hole in one of the vaults that leads to another tunnel the police isn't aware of]].

* BottomlessMagazines: While the series mostly averts this, it's played straight with the thieves' rifles during the police's breach on the Mint in the final episode of Season 2. Every single one of them fires dozens if not hundreds of rounds, and only Berlin is actually seen reloading, which even then happens near the end of the attack.
