* OnlyOneAllowedToDefeatYou: After Nail mortally wounds Knife, Simon shoots him in the back and claims this as his justification. Nail calls this out as a life. Simon's real reason seems to be that he didn't want Nail to outlive him when he killed himself.

* TwinSwitch: Crimson is unable to tell the three versions of Celadon apart, apparently because Celadon #1 prevents them from explaining this. The results are deeply confusing and tragic for Crimson, who does not understand why 'Celadon's' personality is so inconsistent and capriciously cruel.
Added DiffLines:
* WhatIsThisThingYouCallLove: Galore initially has no concept of non-sexual and platonic love and can't understand that Crimson loves her but is not in love with her. It's unclear why she lacks this concept, which other Hekatons seem to grasp, but it may relate either to her upbrining as part of the war on DMTia, or being ostracized for being transgender.

* TheWormThatWalks: Hydragora worms appear to be a single organism but are actually colonies of millions of tiny worms.

* AnArmAndALeg: Happens repeatedly,, but the plasticity of Worm and Hekaton bodies mean it's often not very serious:
** Knife cuts off Paper's arm as part of his 'compensation' for delivering a worm head to HEEL.
** Crimson tears her own arm off while freaking out about transforming into a Worm Queen; this change sticks.

to:

* BoxedCrook: This is how Knife recruited Simon into THUMB: Knife was sent to apprehend Simon, but offered to 'pull strings' to have him recruited rather than arrested. This was partly because Simon could speak Obtuse, and partly because Knife thought he was cute.
* BullyingADragon: Subverted Rome mistakes Knife for a random hydragora worm at one point and attempts to drive him away by insulting him and slapping his hat off his head. Other characters who know Knife's identity are horrified and assume Rome is about to die, but Knife shrugs off the insult.
* CannibalismSuperpower: Hydragora worms gain memories and skills, as well as some habits and behaviours, from those they consume. Similarly, Knife gained some of his siblings' unique powers from killing and absorbing them.

* CombatCompliment: Despite not being able to speak, Knife repeatedly compliments Nail during their fight by grinning, giving enthusiastic thumbs-ups, and friendly waves between blows.
* ContentWarnings: As well as the extensive out-of-universe content warning, an argument between Agent Spoon and Princess Buttf*cker comes with an comedic in-panel warning:
** "What you are about to witness is some verbal shit throwing action. its about to go down. Knowing these two jerks in particular, Im just gonna take the time to preface this with a special apology for whatever rude shit they'll say. Im
serious.. be careful.. This has been a friendly loving yucko warning."

* DefeatEqualsExplosion: Hekatonkheires contain bombs which detonate when they die, with the explosion depending on their type.
* ExcrementStatement: Since Hekaton urine is hightly flammable, this qualifies as a genuine threat. Knife once urinated on Spoon's shoes to intimidate him. Simon also kills Nail by urinating on him and setting him on fire.
* ExpectingSomeoneTaller: Paper initially assumes Knife is an impostor because she was told Knife was hot. In fairness Knife has cut off his own face at this point.

* OutWithABang: Galore repeatedly claims that hekaton-human mating traditionally ends with the death of the human mate, but eventually decides against killing her preferred mate, Crimson.
* PetMonstrosity: Newly hatched hydragora worms can't talk, and imprint on people like baby animals, meaning they are sometimes kept as pets. Several worm characters, inclduing Dylan and Paper, experienced this in their backstories.

* TwoAliasesOneCharacter: Due to the non-chronological order in which the story is told, the multiplicity of viewpoint characters, the variety of secret organisations, and the number of characters who shapeshift, body-hop, and undergo memory alterations, this happens repeatedly:
** Agent Paper is Bunny, the worm Crimson saved during the war on DMTia.
** Agents Scissors is actually [[spoiler: the other half of Agent Spoon, who uploaded his consciousness into Agent Cross's old body.]]
* Agent Cross, Cash Leadman, Princess Buttf*cker, Cress, and Crescent are all the same person at different points in time.

In the latter case we also see a victory screen ('Baby Truce!') when they decide not to fight a page later.
