* CurbStompBattle: During a sparring match between Team JNPR and the Slayer, the former lasted only a minute and forty-seven seconds. This is considered a massive improvement, as the last time they sparred, they only lasted ''twenty'' seconds.
* OhCrap: Jaune panics when the Slayer starts suspecting the truth about how he got into Beacon.

* BigBrotherBully: {{Downplayed|Trope}}. William was shown to be a loving older brother, but there is a minor flashback that heavily implies that he hit his younger brother, though he was also shown feeling absolutely ''horrible'' about what he did. He was actually so convinced that he'd become this that he ran away so he wouldn't hurt his brother ever again.

[[folder: 14: …Is Finally Boarding]]
* ArmorIsUseless: The Aura levels of Team CRDL were at 100% (in the green), yet the Slayer managed to bring each of them to their knees.
* ArmorPiercingQuestion: The Slayer asks Glynda if she is stopping him now.
* BullyingADragon: Team CRDL naturally paid the price for this. And Cardin ''still'' plans on getting back at him one day.
* CurbStompBattle: Team CRDL's 'fight' against the Slayer. To add salt to the wounds, he ''wasn't even wearing his Praetor suit''.
* MythologyGag: Cardin named his mace "The Great Communicator", which was the nickname for Doomguy’s chainsaw. Ironically, the Slayer finds this name to be incredibly dumb.
* ShoutOut: The title of this chapter is a lyric from the song 'Clandestine Ways' by ''Music/CattleDecapitation''.
* TooDumbToLive: Team CRDL did this in regards to the Slayer, to the point where they enter this territory. They're still squarely in this territory for the record.
* UnderestimatingBadassery: Team CRDL was under the impression that a majority of the Slayer's abilities came from his Praetor Suit, and that he'd be a sitting duck without it due to his inability to produce Aura. This notion is almost immediately dispelled after he casually beats down Team CRDL without a shred of effort or his suit. If anything, the collective of Beacon's student body is more terrified of him than they already were.
* WhatTheHellHero: Velvet calls her teammates out on not being there to help her when she was being bullied by team CRDL.

Yang, [[NobodyTouchesTheHair liking her hair the way it is]], has to get beaten up by the Slayer for her to admit he's right.

* BrutalHonesty: Williams plays this trope numerous times:
** He is harsh when he mentors Team RWBY when it comes to fighting. He pretty much calls Ruby "hopeless" when she doesn't have her weapon - [[CripplingOverspecialization which is pretty damn accurate]] - and calls Yang out on having very easily exploitable problems (such as her long hair and her temper) that can easily be rectified.
** He also calls out RWBY, JNPR, and Glynda for not stopping CRDL's bullying, since doing nothing about it is as bad as being a bully in his eyes.

*CurbStompBattle: William wrecked Team RWBY while training. Yang called him out on holding back against them, with Weiss asking if she's borderline-suicidal in wanting him to go all out.
* GrudgingThankYou: While Velvet was grateful that the Slayer helped protect her from team CRDL, she was very disgruntled that he had to be the one to help her (she considers him to be as frightening and monstrous as the demons) and not her teammates.
* MythologyGag: Yang expected William to openly declare "Guns are for wusses." This originates from the Doom Comic.

* SleepsInTheNude: Cinder is shown getting out of bed naked. She doesn't flinch when Salem’ (communicating through a Seer Grimm) enters the room to talk to her.
* UnderestimatingBadassery: Cardin assumes that a majority of the Slayer's abilities came from his Praetor Suit, and that he'd be a sitting duck without it due to his inability to produce Aura. He’s about to be proven wrong in the next chapter.

*BrutalHonesty: When Ruby was on the verge of puking from the gruesome ritualistic suicide they saw in a cathedral, the Slayer told her to suck it up. He even told Yang after she killed a Possessed to get over the whole "TheseHandsHaveKilled" stint since they're going to be killing them ''a lot'' from then on.

* IdiotBall: The Councils of Remnant refuse to send reinforcements to the Academies still under siege from demons, demand that occult artifacts be brought straight to them when getting rid of them entirely will do a better job at mitigating Hell portals, and on top of that, ''still'' plan on having the Vytal Festival when canceling the event and pouring their focus into their demon invasion problem would be far more productive, and they're later pretty much forced to cancel it.

* TheWorfEffect: A downplayed case occurs when Ozpin fights the Slayer. The battle happens off-screen and ultimately ends in a stalemate with the two of them bloodied and bruised, which shows that Ozpin is the '''ONLY''' person on Remnant that can fight the Slayer and hope to come out alive when he actually wants to kill you.
