* RuleOfSymbolism: Van removing Escaflowne's Energeist in the penultimate scene. Deactivating Escaflowne obviously symbolizes Van putting down the sword and embracing peace. But more, Van's role in the story began with the acquisition of that Energeist during the Rite of Successin; if he hadn't, he'd never have been transported to the Mystic Moon and would never have met Hitomi. So, removing the Energeist brings his story full circle and concludes that journey.

* GrandFinale: Of the series and the TV branch of the ''Escaflowne'' franchise (as the Movie would be set in a seperate continuity).
* HeroicRematch: Played for serious drama, as Allen and Van, under the influence of the Zone, fight each other again for the first time since Episode 3 (and for the fate of Dilandau/Celena). Whereas Allen steamrolled Van last time, Escaflowne now holds its own against Scherazade in their rematch. Allen even notes that Van's become a ''much'' better swordsman over the course of the series.
* HistoryRepeatsItself: The activation of another Atlantean Fate Alteration Engine backfires as badly as it did the first time (and is only stopped this time around thanks to Van and Hitomi).
* KilledOffForReal:
** Jajuka and Dilandau (at least in a sense, as he reverts to Celena permanently).
** Kinda with Escaflowne itself. Van removes its Energeist, deactivating it and ending the Blood Pact he made in Episode 2. That being said, the armor's left intact, so there's nothing to stop a future King of Fanelia from acquiring another Energeist in the Rite of Succession and bringing the Guymelef back online if it's needed again.
