- Instead of being banned to participate in the summer festival like in canon, Kaguya is ordered by her father to go there and steal.
- Adaptation Dye-Job: In the manga, Ai Hayasaka's hair is blonde. In Queen of Thieves, her natural hair color is silver but dyes her hair blonde when she's in her civilian persona.
- Anti-Villain: The reason why Kaguya is stealing is to build up 50 million Yen to pay to her family and be free from their affairs. Kaguya admits to Hayaska that once that's done, she'll drop the Black Cat identity for good.

- Curb-Stomp Battle:
- The Sinister Six completely destroyed Spider-Man when he was tricked into their ambush.
- Then they, along with Hammerhead, were on the receiving end when the symbiote-empowered Spider-Man was free.
- Didn't Think This Through: While Kaguya uses thievery as the fastest means to gain funds, she did not realize until a maid tells her that her gains are being offset by the cost she incurs from using the family resources to pull of her heists. Not only that, her family has blackmail material to keep her in check if she goes against them.
- Everyone Has Standards: Kaguya has a few rules she follows by when she dons her Black Cat guise. First is that she won't kill people. And second, she won't rob banks because that's beneath her.
- False Flag Operation: Hammerhead ordered Black Cat and Silver Cat to convince Spider-Man that they performed Heel–Face Turn and lured him into a trap where the Sinister Six would ambushed him.
- Freudian Excuse Is No Excuse: As Shirogane puts it.Shirogane: It doesn't matter how much you've gone through in your life. It doesn't give you the right to be selfish. Being selfish is a choice. And if you use your own circumstances as a cop-out, then in the end, that's just an excuse.
- Generation Xerox:
- Junpei Jonah Jameson follows his father's footsteps in slandering Spider-Man.
- Ai Hayasaka inherits the Silver Sable title from her mother.
- Irony:
- Both Spider-Man and Black Cat have a fierce rivalry with each other, not knowing that they are their respective love interests. Makes even more complicated when they start falling for their alter egos.
- Miko Iino respects Spider-Man but hates Shirogane. Ishigami and even the Narrator can't help but laugh at this.
- Jerkass Has a Point: Junpei makes a good point that the police did their duty in stopping crime without hiding their faces behind masks unlike Spider-Man who does. However, Miko, while does agree with that point, argues that the circumstances between the cops and vigilantes are different and not to mention, the cops can't even handle supervillains.
