* UnfortunateImplications:
** An InvokedTrope that is PlayedForLaughs twice by [[TokenBlackFriend Diggle]]:
*** In one instance he goes undercover in an attempt to ambush drug dealers as a potential customer. They couldn't send Oliver since he's a figure in the public eye, and Oliver and Diggle refused Felicity's offer to go undercover. Wonderfully lampshaded upon Dig's return:
----> '''Diggle''': Okayyy, person of color has bought you drugs.\\
'''Felicity''': For the record: I offered.
*** Hilariously riffed on in a Season Two episode. Felicity chews Ollie out for her being "promoted" to his "personal assistant", to which Diggle replies:
----> '''Diggle''': Could be worse. My secret identity is his [[EthnicMenialLabor black driver]].

** Subverted in season one. Detective Quentin Lance is told of a vigilante in a ''green'' hood who uses ''arrows'', and says to put out an APB for this...RobinHood. Then possibly played straight in "City of Heroes" when Oliver decides he needs a new name, other than the Hood given recent events. When asked what he wants to call himself, the camera zooms in on the arrow in his hand...which is green. Definitely played straight in subsequent episodes when Quentin and Laurel refer to him as 'The Arrow'.

* WhatMeasureIsANonBadass: InUniverse, Felicity has sometimes shown jealousy of what everyone else in "Team Arrow" can do physically, and her attempts to take combat training has gone ''very'' slow. No one questions her value to the team as MissionControl and TheSmartGuy, but it is still a sore spot for her.

Damsel In Distress is the new name of this trope.
Changed line(s) 124 (click to see context) from:
* VasquezAlwaysDies: It's kinda notable that between the Lance sisters, they choose to kill off the one who's the show's most prominent ActionGirl[[note]]later revived, after a season[[/note]] rather than the one who has a tendency to become a DistressedDamsel. When the said DistressDamsel becomes a Badass in her own right, she promptly gets killed off as well.

Added DiffLines:
* UpperClassTwit: Oliver invokes this to hide his activities as the Arrow. Really comes into play in "Honor Thy Father" when he decides that in order to honor his father's wishes he has to dishonor his father's memory by acting like his old self. Ironically, it works not because he's really pulling off the playboy lifestyle, but because the people close to him think he's still suffering the trauma of the island and ''trying'' to pull off the lifestyle as a coping mechanism.

As per TRS
, the current definition of Would Hit A Girl is "A guy that has no problems with violence against women is treated as morally questionable at best or evil at worst in a work's narrative and other characters". Any example that doesn't fit the new definition is removed.

* WouldHitAGirl: Oliver takes out male and female targets and mooks with equal violence. In fact he's sometimes more serious when facing women, for example China White or Nyssa.

Up To Eleven is a defunct trope
Deleted line(s) 123 (click to see context) :
* UpToEleven: Since the season 1 finale, fans have always speculated how the writers would top themselves in the following season. By season 3, Starling City has been attacked on a grand scale twice in 2 years, and the city is suffering as a result of it. [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere People are leaving out of fear of another terrorist attack]]. The 3rd season's premiere, "The Calm", manages to raise the stakes even higher than what the two previous finales have managed ''combined'' by virtue of killing Sara off at the end of the episode, with the murderer still at large and having used 3 black arrows to do it. And then in "The Climb" the killer is revealed to be a BrainwashedAndCrazy Thea.
