----

* AccidentalMurder: When Popeye punches the wall in his teams' diamond prison trying to break out, it causes the diamonds around the place to shake with enough force to generate lightning arcs. These lightning arcs then strike Ulysses, Keizer Ghidorah, Truck-kun, and the Yellow Devil, killing them.
* AlasPoorYorick: After The Devil kills Korra, he picks up her skull and mockingly quips "Alas, poor girl, I barely knew her." before tossing it over his shoulder.
* AlternateSelf: The Octavia seen in this episode comes from the {{WesternAnimation/M|yLittlePonyFriendshipisMagic}}LP fanfic "A Puppet to Her Fame", where she's being controlled by a mysterious entity only known as "The Puppeteer".
** Popeye Alter is an [[EvilDoppelganger evil variant]] of Popeye.
* AlwaysSomeoneBetter: As many fighters find out the hard way, while they are powerful in their own right, their competition proves to be even stronger than they are.
* AndThereWasMuchRejoicing: After Cooler kills Broly, the audience cheers, as they no longer have to hear Broly babble on about Kakarot any longer.
* AshFace: When Broly kills Toriel, the flames in her hand explode in front of his face, forcing him to take a moment to wipe the ashes from his eyes.
* AttackReflector: When Absolute Radiance fires several light lasers at Kars, he transforms his body into a glass-like surface to reflect them back, which tear though Radiance's body.

* BarehandedBladeBlock: When Guts swings his sword to slice through Frieza's Death Beams, Frieza catches his sword with his hands.
* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: Vegeta spends the first half of his fight picking on Shaggy, demanding he show why he was chosen for this tournament, threatening to kill him if he doesn't prove himself. When Vegeta inadvertently says Shaggy's TriggerPhrase, it awakens his Ultra Instinct powers. Let's just say that things go downhill for Vegeta from this point on.
* BigNO: The Puppeteer screams two of these as Bagan is beginning to defeat him, refusing to let its music end here.
* BigWhat: Bagan's roars one to Superman suddenly missing a head thanks to Sanic.
* BigYes: The Devil cheers out a "YEEEEES!" after Sanic gets killed.
* BloodKnight: Among the other characters who only care for a good fight, there's the Blood God himself, Khorne, who gets pissed at the ''lack'' of blood being spilled in the Arena.
* BodyHorror: When Khorne strikes Kars with a desire for bloodlust, it causes his body to mass mutate into something with multiple features from different predators across different biomes.
* BondOneLiner: Frieza delivers the most painfully obvious one one could think of after killing the Queen Chess Piece:
--->'''Frieza''': "King to Queen. Checkmate. I win."
* BoomHeadshot: After Kars' attempt of slicing Perfect Cell in half fails, Cell shoots Kars in the head with several Death Beams, knocking Kars out as he waits for his brain to regenerate.
** The Queen Chess Piece kills Mother Talzin and Hisoka by ramming its body through their heads.
** Bagan finishes off Aizen by skewering his head with his tail.
* BulletCatch: When Bayonetta tries shooting Vegeta, he just catches all of her bullets and then crushes them.
* TheBusCameBack: Cell, Guts, All Might, Martian Manhunter, Toriel, and Nomu all return from previous Arenas. The Yellow Devil returns after being an Event Boss late into the [[Recap/TheSilverscaleArenaS2E14September2022 20th episode]], Madama Butterfly from the [[Recap/TheSilverscaleArenaS2E16October2022 21st episode]] makes a reappearance as part of Bayonetta's attacks, and The Radiance returns from [[Recap/TheSilverscaleArenaS2E16October2022 the last main episode]], now in its [[OneWingedAngel Absolute]] form.
** BusCrash: Unfortunately for the Yellow Devil, he's killed before the first match of the episode even starts.
* CainAndAbel: In the final round Frieza becomes the Cain to Cooler's Abel.
* CatchAndReturn: When Absolute Radiance [[FlechetteStorm flings as many swords as she can]] at Kars in desperation, Kars is able to grab them all and toss them back, redirecting them into Radiance's wings.
* TheCameo: At the end of the episode, after Bagan wins the episode, Baskerra transports him to the Webcomic/LasLindas universe, where he reunites with Taffy.

--->'''The Devil''': "Oh, boo yourselves! I'm THE DEVIL! It's my job to make everything miserable for everyone!"

* ChekhovsGun: In Talzin's Team Introduction, she has a figure of clay, ready to [[VoodooDoll carve it into another contestant]]. When she has to fight in chapter 5, she uses the one she made of Q to kill him by tossing it off the edge, with Q following.

* CradlingYourKill: After Bagan unleashes his Extinction Beam on All-Might and Might Guy, he catches the weakened Might Guy seconds before he dies in his arms.
* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: Thai describes Shaggy in this episode. For most of his screentime he acts like his normal cowardly self, useless in a normal fight, let alone one involving so many powerhouses. But when Vegeta unknowingly says his TriggerPhrase, he reveals that he has the power of ULTRA INSTINCT within him!
* CurbStompBattle: Many, many fights in this episode tend to be heavily one sided.
* DarkHorseVictory: In a fight between Goku and Shizune, the winner of it comes out to be Aizen, as the two were so focused on each other that they didn't realize he was there until it was too late.

** In the first match of chapter 4, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2KmRDYrtE_c Anjer's metal cover of Heartache]] plays as she has to fight Cooler and Broly.

In the second match, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lmpEABVoqmk Brandon Yates' Mighty]], plays as All-Might, Might Guy, and Bagan fight. Except that between the three of them, it's Bagan that wins the match.
** In Shazam's fight with Goku, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=07aA4HC8jWk Brandon Yates' Marvelous!]], a track that played in his WebAnimation/DeathBattle with Captain Marvel that he won, accompanies the fight. But in the fight itself Goku obliterates Shazam with a Kmehameha.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WrPgHXTFCXc Madara's theme]] from ''Shippuden'' plays in his round with Superman, Bagan, and Sanic.

*{{Foreshadowing}}: In the introductions as Frieza and Cooler are bickering with each other, Frieza tells his brother when they're sent to fight each other. When they both manage to survive up to the final round, the brothers start the match by fighting each other, with Frieza eventually killing Cooler.
* FourIsDeath: By the end of chapter 4, Team 2 is completely wiped out.
* FragileSpeedster: The Queen Chess Piece is able to win its first match by avoiding every attack thrown at it with its blistering speed and killing its opponents quickly. But in its second match all it takes is one hit from Guts to lead to its quick defeat.
* GetItOverWith: Even if Bagan is unsure how Octavia is supposed to kill him, he tells her to get it over with, as he feels he deserves punishment.

* IncorruptiblePurePureness: Khorne is baffled to discover that he senses no anger or bloodlust, just purity. Superman states it's because he uses his might to protect, not just for fighting.

* TheJuggernaut: The TropeNamer shows up as one of the characters participating in this episode.

** As Zenos is watching Ultra Instinct Shaggy kill Vegeta, he laments not being able to fight yet, he notices that his prison has suddenly faltered, moments before Vegeta's Final Flash kills him.
--->'''Zenos yae Galvus''': "Hmph. This is quite the view for such a display. A pity it doesn't let me…wait, why did the barrier suddenly van-" ''[KABOOOM!]''
** At the beginning of the first fight of chapter 3, Shaggy tries to remember what he did the previous match to help him win this match, only to get killed by Perfect Cell.

** When one of Broly's ki-balls hits Martian Manhunter, the heat from it causes him to burst into flames and burn to ashes.
* LethalJokeCharacter: Several of the characters here were clearly just picked as a joke. But since they're in a tournament featuring some of ''the strongest characters in existence'', this means that they themselves are also extremely powerful.
