* AssholeVictim: One of Ogami's victims is pre-Academia Leo Akaba. Considering the shit-ton of atrocities he does in his home verse without getting ''any'' type of punishment for it, not a lot of people (perhaps barring his son Reiji and Yusho Sakaki) would shed a tear at his passing.
** This is deconstructed...Amelia and Hotchner warn against regarding the Unsub as any kind of a hero for eliminating AssholeVictims...he's only killing for his own validation, and as Goh can attest, he won't stop at people the train might be better off without.



** While he thinks he's doing a KickTheSonOfABitch instead, Kisaragi stating that it's good that Grace is dead come across as this, since he's clearly only saying it for his own satisfaction, rather than because she can no longer hurt anybody.

* MythologyGag:
** When Grace remembers how she wanted to kill Shirley, the death scene she describes is basically how Shirley died in R2 (shooting her and leaving Shirley in a pool of her own blood).
** The scene of Lapis's return home is that of ''[[Recap/StevenUniverseS5E23Reunited Reunited]].''

* AdaptationalAngstUpgrade: The Monroe parents were shown to be abusive, neglective parents who were responsible for Grace entering the Infinity Train. In Part 2, they're shown to be lonely, miserable, their marriage is broken and they've had all the time in the world to realize that their daughter's disappearance is their fault and that she's been found dead so there's no way for them to ever be a family again.



* {{Bookends}}: The last the Monroe parents saw Grace and Simon was at the bench at the mall cop's office. After eight years, the find out that she's returned to that office, dead with knife wounds to her stomach.



-->'''Hazel:''' ''(sobbing)'' I thought rabbits were supposed to be cute and fluffy!



* DramaticIrony: London talks smack about how much he hates Grace and everything she's done...completely unaware that Grace is listening in as Warbler.



* LargeHam: London and Easter like to go on tangents about how "Queen Grace" will arrive to unleash hell upon the masses because of their beef against her.

** {{Zig Zagging|Trope}}. ''Nobody'' takes the message revealing how Grace died well. While she had those who care for her, whether out of standards or sympathy, some are not sympathetic to her death, for understandable reasons that she committed another number of crimes and traumatized many people while alive. Grace's former victims are still dealing with their scars and trauma she inflicted on them, and are not sympathetic and even say they are glad she is dead. But they are gently called out on being told they should not be glad she died despite what she did to them, to which they agree. In fact, the characters who ''do'' think it's good (Mad Ben and Kisaragi) are reprehensible assholes with no moral high ground at all.

** The chapter that shows the last days of Grace Monroe is "Serene Grace". A Pokémon with that ability can boost the aftereffects of a move. Grace's desires to not be alone or seen in the wrong caused the birth of the Apex and a decade of massacre across the Train.

Even with Simon dead and Grace gone in the sequel, he can't let it go since neither of them (particularly Grace) didn't apologize..

** Sarang, who's all but confirmed to be connected to Ogami, has a scheme in mind that involves a creature that can move cars around and the Signal Car.
