* AssholeVictim: [[spoiler:Valmont was already perceived negatively in the school for such actions as treating Yasu like his servant and threatening to cook and eat a turtle. Then, he made the decision to threaten Dylan with a knife, widely assumed at first to be a murder attempt which Yuta interrupted.]] The document for the third case is quite literally named "will anyone blame [[spoiler:Yuta]] tho".

* HatedByAll: The Principal. On top of all the students hating him, [[spoiler:even Kakuya hates him]].

** BlackAndGrayMorality: The main initial flow of the game between the Principal levying the motive and the culprits who neutralize his threats, though this can be flattened into BlackAndWhiteMorality depending on who you ask.
** BlueAndOrangeMorality: [[spoiler:When Kakuya usurps the principal, she sincerely explains that she's doing something good and fun by freeing the children from the Principal's brainwashing and putting them into a killing game instead, where death is not exactly meaningful. This also applies to her devoted girlfriend Yasu, though she can at least understand human reasoning better.]]

Round two of ''Roleplay/CastleWhimsical'' is set in Ira Academy, a boarding school where children will learn to be upstanding members of society! Don't worry too much about how none of them remember how they got here...

!This game provides examples of:
* AxesAtSchool: Axes ''distributed'' at school, even--multiple characters have weapons as regains.
* BoardingSchoolOfHorrors: Ira Academy. Even before the whole murder aspect, it's ''brainwashing the students.''
* ElevatorSchool: The "students" range in age from 5 to 17.
* HiveMind: The "Little Brothers" are described this way.
* LaserGuidedAmnesia: None of the characters can remember what happened between their arrival and the intro log.
* MassHypnosis: The intro log wasn't the characters' arrival, but their sudden and as-yet-unexplained ''recovery'' from being brainwashed.
* SchoolIsMurder: Literally the premise.
* SchoolUniformsAreTheNewBlack: Characters end up spending a lot of time in uniform by necessity, since they start out with few ''other'' clothes to wear.
