* ArcherArchetype: Downplayed: Hwan uses a bow and arrow, and he spends a decent time working alone before joining the group (even after he first meets them), due to being focused on his own mission of tracking his sister and Bulti.
* ArtShift: Occassionally, the art style will change from realistic to [[SuperDeformed Chibi-esque]].
** The intro to Episode 1 is drawn in a style reminiscent of [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minhwa minhwa]].

[[spoiler:Tabae took care of a small, white, red-eyed monster as a pet, dealing with its need to feed on human blood by giving him his own. Eventually, this creature (heavily implied to be Hwanwoong or an ancestor) repaid his kindness by tying him to the Shindansu Tree, making him invisible to everyone else, and adopting his form to impersonate him, forcing him to watch as it goaded his people into war before murdering him. The Tabae we saw swearing to slay the Beom with the Sword of Death? ''It was the fake one.'']]

Five Man Band is undergoing a wick-cleaning project, so zero-context examples, roles with little to no context, and examples featuring groups of more than five, will be deleted.


* FiveManBand: During the prison raid arc, the members fit this:
** Hwan: TheHero - he organizes the operation and [[spoiler:is the one who stays the longest in the battle]]. He also gets a lot of story focus with his subplot with Juhee and his vendetta with Bulti.
** Dogeon: TheLancer, with elements of TheSmartGuy as he tries finding Bulti's weaknesses. Works together with Hwan during the battle with Bulti.
** Haru: TheLeader[=/=]TheSmartGuy, being the one to guide the group and provide information about the Beom.
** Zeha: TheHeart - he spends most of the battle helping Haru, and [[spoiler:provides the emotional support Hwan and the rest of the group need to get back on their feet.]]
** Jooan: TheBigGuy, as he provides massive melee ability [[spoiler:as well as Beom-enhanced healing, strength and durability]]. The first one to actually put up a fight against Bulti.
** Cein: SixthRanger, as the new guy who literally joined minutes ago but is here to help out anyway. [[spoiler:He also has tremendous dormant fighting skills manifesting when the right time comes that more than make up for his lack of experience.]]
** Hosu: EleventhHourRanger, [[spoiler:appearing to fight Bulti after the latter was weakened considerably by the others.]]

* ExtremelyShortTimespan: While it's unclear when the first Beom prison scenes take place (since it's first shown to be night-time), it's safe to say that the entirety of episodes 11 to the first half of 23 (including everything involving Zahu and Hosu) takes place within a few days, a couple of days, or ''a single day''. Seongjin is badmouthing Zeha at the same time the latter's about to have snacks with Dogeon and Haru, minutes before the pre-school Beom attack where they encounter Jooan, who they take to weapons shopping right after; they meet Cein while trying to buy a new spear for Jooan [[note]](this being the only part where there could have been a bigger time skip beforehand, depending on how much time they took to find that specific spear)[[/note]]; and Hwan arrives immediately afterwards to recruit them to the Beom prison raid that same day.

** This sword was also used by Tabae, the hero that fought the Beom in acient times. [[spoiler:This is eventually subverted: not only was the war much more morally troubling than what was initially presented, it's eventually revealed that the guy holding the sword wasn't even the real Tabae, but an impostor who murdered the real one to wage war.]]



* HumansAreTheRealMonsters: While many Beom are certainly shown to be monstruous, there's a running theme of several Beom having sympathetic moments and even showing kindness towards humans, while humans (such as the Tiger Butterfly) are equally capable of monstruous acts while having far pettier motivations.

* OnceMoreWithClarity: The flashback where the original wielder of the Sword of Death announces he'll use it to slay the Beom reappears every now and then with more context:
** First we learn through Cein that he was a man of mixed race who made good of his word, though he appeared conflicted.
** Later he tells the full version he knows: he was the guardian of the land long ago [[spoiler:along with Hupo]], forced to fight the Beom after the latter waged war.
** ''Then'' in Episode 35, after previous chapters revealed [[spoiler:he not only may have betrayed the Beom first, but he later drove out every clan except the Gom]], we get the flashback again, but it's turned on its head: [[spoiler:Tabae was being ''impersonated'' by a creature heavily implied to be of Hwanwoong's species (or Hwanwoong himself), the real one trapped and forced to watch as the impostor waged war on the Beom. The real Tabae was killed not long after, only wishing for his soul to protect Sin-si and for him and Hupo to become friends in their next life.]]
