* NotSoDifferentRemark: Allura finally admits that she sees Lelouch as being very similar to Zarkon... before amending her statement to make it clear that she sees Lelouch as similar to Zarkon's ''original'', noble self.
* NotSoSimilar: This chapter firmly lays to rest any comparisons between Lelouch and Zarkon by making it clear that even at his worst, Lelouch will always be kinder and more empathic than Zarkon could ever hope to be.

* AdaptationalNiceGuy: Allura's prejudice towards the part-Galra Paladin is toned down from canon, on the grounds that the author thought it was weird that she'd be so cold to someone she'd been friends with all this time. Also, there's no way she could be mean to Nunnally. In-story, there is also the fact that Mao [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech called her out over hope hypocritical her own hatred of the Galra was and forced her to reflect on it]].

* KeystoneArmy: The only reason Allura, C.C., Nunnally, and the rest of the Paladins were able to manifest in the astral plain was because C.C. was using her bond with Lelouch and the others to access said plain. Once Zarkon kills C.C.'s astral self (temporarily killing the real C.C. as well), the rest of the group is forced back to the physical world, leaving Lelouch to face Zarkon alone.

* AdaptationDistillation: The paladin in possession of the Luxite Blade in canon, Keith, was unable to unlock its true form until the Paladins arrived at the Blade of Marmora base. Lelouch, who inherits Kieth's backstory, masters it in this chapter, which is set earlier in the timeline.

** Zarkon uses his Bayard’s MorphWeapon power creatively to keep Lelouch off guard, but relies primarily on direct attacks, showing that he is capable of using strategy but prefers straightforward and brutal tactics. His allies empower him and are more tools to reach victory than fellow warriors.
