* BreakingTheFourthWall: Considering the combatants of this episode, this should come as no surprise ([[HereWeGoAgain much to Boomstick's exasperation]]). Besides both interacting with their pre-battle analyses (Bill in shaky yellow all-caps, Discord in pink cursive), Bill briefly possesses Wiz, and Discord makes a personal appearance.
Added DiffLines:
* DemonicPossession: During Bill's analysis, [[ExplainExplainOhCrap Wiz realizes while describing Bill's tendency to invoke a]] DealWithTheDevil that he probably shouldn't have done so as well, moments before Bill possesses his body. Fortunately, Boomstick is able to BeatTheCurseOutOfHim.

* HeyThatsMyLine: As Bill exclaims "K.O.!" at the battle's conclusion, Ringmaster angrily declares this.
* MediumShiftGag: When Wiz expresses his desire to study Discord's chaotic powers, the latter demonstrates by causing this, going from digital animation to live-action as their voice actors, Ben Singer and Chad James, recording the episode's dialogue, with both reacting in-character. Cue WeAreExperiencingTechnicalDifficulties.

* TheCameo: Throughout the fight, ''numerous'' cameos could be seen of various pony-fied characters, ranging from [[WesternAnimation/RickAndMorty Rick]] who's appears to be in a brawl with Doctor Whooves, Dipper and Mable, [[VideoGame/{{Undertale}} Sans]] and [[VideoGame/{{OFF}} Judge]], and ''numerous'' ponysonas of crew members on DEATH BATTLE!'s team. And that's not to mention Bill's name in the analysis rapidly cycling through anagrams of all sorts of fans of the DEATH BATTLE! community.
