* AntiClimaxBoss: Most of the bosses prior to [[spoiler:the first visit]] to the Tower of Salvation are this because the Bleach cast is [[DiscOneNuke much more powerful]] than the Symphonia cast.
* AssPull: Some may regard [[spoiler:the world actually existing]] as this.
** To a lesser extent Virginia [[spoiler:being a hero of Tethe'allan folklore]] could be this as well. Then again [[spoiler:[[FridgeLogic Genis and Raine's magic skill had to come from somewhere]]]].
* HarsherInHindsight: Pronyma abandoning the child she cared for in the woods turns out to be this when it turns out that [[spoiler:it's Kiku]].
* HeartwarmingInHindsight: Byakuya[[spoiler:'s kiss with Raine]] in ''Unreal Society'' becomes this much later on when he [[spoiler:decides to marry her]].
** Near the end of ''Return of the Samurai'' Sheena says to Ichigo that Mizuho is moving again, but she won't say where. [[spoiler:It turns out to be Karakura Town]].
* HilariousInHindsight: The snippet in chapter 11 of ''Unreal Society'' about camping outside becomes incredibly funny after this gem from the English Dub in the Turn Back the Pendulum arc
--> '''Mashiro:''' I'm not really a tent person
--> '''Kensei:''' Sorry, we're all out of five-star hotels.
** Uryu saying he's the student council president in chapter 38 of Unreal Society. At the time of writing Bleach's TimeSkip had yet to occur.
* HoYay: Ichigo and Lloyd, Byakuya and [[spoiler:Kratos]], Regal and [[spoiler:Chad]], and Ichigo and Emil, just to name a few sets.
* LesYay: Rukia and Colette, [[spoiler:Pronyma]] and Orihime, but there are plenty of other sets.
* {{Narm}}: After the incident with [[spoiler:Aizen]] regarding [[spoiler:the [[LotusEaterMachine Derris Emblem]]]] you kind of expect [[spoiler:the illusions that affect the other soul reapers]].
** Rukia begging the wild rabbit she has to live. There's no buildup to the sentence at all you almost expect Ichigo to make a comment about how it's JustAFleshWound.
* UnexpectedCharacter: Shunsui joining the party rather early in ''Unreal Society'' and staying with them throughout the entire journey is this to some considering how little interaction he has with Ichigo and is not one of his regular companions.
