* BriefAccentImitation: Minongan spends the majority of the episode talking in a completely different dialect to reflect his "role" as a judge in the competition. Upon returning to Dagded's base, he goes back to his usual droning voice.

** Rina Ikoma of Music/Nogizaka46 appears as "[[SignificantAnagram Marina Iko]]", whom Goma summons.

* {{Hypocrite}}: Discussed. Jeramie calls Rita out for supposedly not telling everyone why they were in the idol competition. Jeramie is [[IncrediblyLamePun the king]] of leaving important context out of otherwise-simple conversations; something Rita hangs a lampshade on.

* CannotSpitItOut: Jeramie accuses Rita of this when everyone's assumptions on why they were participating in the idol competition were wrong. Rita wasn't keeping anything from them, the others didn't just ask them.

* CassandraTruth: When the other monarchs confront Rita regarding what they assume their personal goal in the idol audition is, Rita outright shuts them down and tells them they are simply doing an undercover investigation. No one believes them, ''not even Morphonia'', who believes what they wanted was a means to express their true self they had held supressed for their career all this while. It took Rita going past their RageBreakingPoint to yell that they had been saying the undercover investigation really was their goal and there was never an ulterior motive in order to convince everyone at the scene.

* OutOfCharacterAlert: Deconstructed. Each of the monarchs come to some variation of the assumption that Rita's participating in the idol competition for the sake of a HiddenAgenda; sneaking into their chambers in the hopes of invoking this trope. However, there ''was'' no secondary reason they got involved; it was just an undercover investigation that everyone's overthinking was getting in the way of.

* BaitAndSwitch: Goma's plan for Gokkan was to turn its prisoner population into {{Extreme Doormat}}s whose criminal skills he would then exploit to wreak havoc across the land, until Minongan arrives with a much different plan that has Dagded's backing.
