* FantasticDrug: Nemo has a lot of new futuristic drugs derived from ocean creatures (spin, sting, etc.) as well as equally weird surface drugs. Shows up often both because each character needs a vice (drugs apply to both Yuri and Hyde) but because Season 2 gets involved in the drug trade. Overlaps with PhlebotinumPills due to the biopunk setting.

* CodeName: Every character in Blades in the Dark gets one, but whether they're referred to more often as their code name (Bastille, Speaker, San Manco) or real name (Luce, Sauda, Yuri) is mostly about player preference.

* DisasterDominoes: In Season 2, this starts around Episode 8, when the attempted attack on Hatter leaves Bastille traumatized, Sauda thrown under the bus, and the Moonshiners with their first unmitigated failure. In Season 1, it may as well have begun in Episode 2 (meeting their first Deep creature, the anglerfish bartender) and continued ramping up until the finale.

* MindVirus: The Vang noovirus, one of these, is what the protagonists blow up the Colorless Way facility trying to stop. Afflicted people would [[MadnessMantra repeat the phrase]], "I think it's funny that Qiandao Academy lists a Professor Vang on staff when legal records conclusively prove that no such person has ever existed or ever will." (The virus also acted as a lure for Deep things, so it's worse than it sounds.)

* LighterAndSofter: After the constant nightmare of the first season, the second season--which is a lot more business and a lot less involvement with Deep stuff except for Speaker--feels downright cheery by comparison.
to:
* DarkerAndEdgier: The Speaker's ending actually seems more ominous than the first season's: it feels like something big is actually changing in the foundations of the world, many main characters from the first season are in on it, and they don't seem like the good guys.
* LighterAndSofter: After the constant nightmare of the first season, the second season--which is a lot more business and a lot less involvement with Deep stuff except for Speaker--feels downright cheery by comparison. The ending with the other Moonshiners seems hopeful, with Bastille retiring to the surface, Hyde trying to better Qiandao, and San Manco retaining the supply chain they worked so hard to build.
