* LoveAtFirstSight: Fuyuhiko seems to fall in love with Mukuro the moment he meets her, even though his other romantic interest is just on another island!
* LoveMakesYouDumb: Kazuichi's love for Sonia causes him to jump to conclusions about the murderer that have no basis or evidence to support it.

The others quickly give the traditional answer, only for Monokuma to declare that it could be done in one trip by feeding the Moss to Monomi, feeding Monomi to Monokuma, and sending him off on the boat alone.
* FrameUp: Subverted. Nagito is discovered to have planted evidence implicating Hagakure. However, he did so in order to ensure that the evidence which Hagakure actually did end up leaving behind would be written off as Nagito's handiwork. He also did so before the murder actually occurred.

* RogueProtagonist: Teased when the Body Discovery Announcement implicates Hajime and Makoto. Subverted in the end, as both prove to be innocent
* SanitySlippage: Peko goes through a severe case of this. She ends up adopting the Sparkling Justice persona for real and only gets worse from there.
%% * ShipTease: Sayaka/Makoto, Sayaka/Leon, and Mukuro/Makoto are all heavily teased. Peko is implied to have slept with Fuyuhiko prior to his murder. All of them end poorly.

* TheReveal:
** Fuyuhiko died while both Makoto and Hajime were together.
** Nagito never discovered the body. He interfered with the crime scene before the murder actually took place.
* UnwittingPawn: Fuyuhiko and Hagakure are both lured to the beach house with letters from Nagito indicating that their life is indanger. This leads to Hagakure bludgeoning an armed Fuyuhiko to death in a panic.
