* BigNo: The Head Spectral when trying to prevent Powerlock from crashing the system.
* BigRedButton: "With a press of this button, the entire system crashes."
* BittersweetEnding: The system is saved, the viruses are dealt with, and the Hero Selective and Spectrals mend fences, but not without Rob dying first.
* {{Blackmail}}: Spectrals don't have the ability to reboot, so a few volunteered to be converted into the Hero Selective in order to win the games. The heroes eventually tired of this, however, and wished to return to their Spectral forms. When denied this (on the grounds that they had become barbarians seduced by flesh), the heroes refused to participate in games and allowed sectors to be nullified so that their demand would be met.
* BothSidesHaveAPoint: The Hero Selective argue that they have the right to return to their old formats and shouldn't be ostracized by their former bretheren for doing what was needed to save the system from games. The Spectrals retort that defending the system should be their top priority and that they're the only ones who can do it, which Pixel admits are logical points. The situation drives a brief wedge between Matrix and [=AndrAIa=], as each sympathizes with one side more than the other.
* CigarChomper: Powerlock always has one in his mouth.
* DivideAndConquer: The viruses exploit the division between the Hero Selective and Spectrals and seek to make it worse. Rob recognizes this during the big fight and urges the Head Spectral to team up for the good of the system.
* DueToTheDead: After Rob vanishes.

** For all his past growling at Bob, Frisket is noticeably disappointed when [=AndrAIa=] points out that Rob isn't the Guardian.
** Matrix is more sympathetic to the Hero Selective than [=AndrAIa=] is, but he has no interest in their hunts and scoffs at the damage they allow to happen to the system.
** The Hero Selective let the User win games in order to force the Spectrals to play ball, but Rob insists they'd never let permanent harm come to the system.
