* {{Badass Preacher}}: Yiannis is willing to make enemies of some pretty dangerous people.
* {{Big Damn Heroes}}: Basil carving his way through a military post to rescue Fotis.



* CulturalTranslation: In the English version, Yiannis's accent is rendered similarly to rural/mountain American English, and he's native to Crete, a place with many similar cultural stereotypes to Appalachia and the Ozarks.
* {{Dark is Evil}} and {{Dark is not Evil}}: Characters wearing black in the comic are frequently associated with death, but it's used equally for murderers, people in mourning, and people helping the bereaved.



* {{Elites are More Glamorous}}: Averted. The two we see are a harassed middle manager and a wannabe {{Man of Wealth and Taste}}, with desk jobs.



* {{Foil}}: Yiannis and Bohm. Both wind up in charge of prisoners, both effortlessly see through people (although Bohm's arrogance gets in his way at times), and [[ArsonMurderandJaywalking they both wear black to work.]] They even look pretty similar.



* {{Good Shepherd}}: Yiannis is kind, nobody's fool, and basically the {{Team Mom}} to an entire neighborhood.



* KillTheCutie: [[spoiler: Anna]] get shot in the head during a raid.

to:

* KidHero: Reconstructed. While the kids shouldn't be in this situation and forced into taking on the roles they do with occasional sides of TroublingUnchildlikeBehavior, they do some undeniably heroic things, Fotis especially.
* KillTheCutie: [[spoiler: Anna]] get gets shot in the head during a raid.



* {{People of Hair Color}}: Nicely averted. The ethnic groups shown have a realistic range of appearances.
*SceneryDissonance...the comic. It's a dirty war taking place in some of the most beautiful tourist hotspots of Greece in spring. You do the math.



* TranslationConvention: Different languages are signaled by different font colors. Most of the dialog is understood to be Greek, but for the benefit of the audience, it’s all written in English.

to:

* {{Surprisingly Realistic Outcome}}: Turns out randomly beating up a teenager into an alternate state of consciousness isn't actually that effective of a way to find a tiny object in a big city.
* TranslationConvention: Different languages are signaled by different font colors. Most of the dialog is understood to be Greek, but for the benefit of the audience, it’s all written in English.

!!This webcomic contains examples of:
*ChildrenAreInnocent: The kids sometimes try to [[ExploitedTrope exploit]] this in order to fool the enemy, but with little to no success. In reality, this is averted; given the setting, innocence is a luxury they can’t afford.
*CoolOldLady: Grandma Pelagia and her pleasant but sassy personality.
*DeadpanSnarker: Father Yiannis and occasionally Martha.
*FunetikAksent: Father Yiannis seems to have a more rustic accent than the rest of the cast.
*ImprobableAimingSkills: Martha can pick off her targets even with a scopeless rifle.
* [[spoiler: KillTheCutie: Anna get shot in the head during a raid.]]
*LaResistance: A rare example set in Greece.
*StreetUrchin: Fotis, as well as a number of other kids.
*ThoseWackyNazis: A dead serious example. The Nazis are occupying the area and treat the local people with smug disdain at best.
*PlotDevice: The microfilm holding important information for the Allies to use against the Nazis.
*PunchClockVillain: Some of the Nazi soldiers are portrayed as merely doing what they do to [[MyCountryRightOrWrong serve Germany]].
*ShownTheirWork: There is an impressive collection of historical context and background information accompanying the comic. It’s not necessary to read it in order to understand the story, but it does shed more light onto some of the more [[AllThereInTheManual obscure elements]] of the setting.
*TranslationConvention: Different languages are signaled by different font colors. Most of the dialog is understood to be Greek, but for the benefit of the audience, it’s all written in English.
*WorldOfBadass: In a setting where war and death is a constant threat, even the kids have to be pretty tough.
*WouldHarmAChild: Bohm and his brutal interrogation of Fotis.
