She doesn't remember a second of it after Mxyzptlk is banished back to the Fifth Dimension, and Izuku intends to keep it that way.
- A New World, A New Way: This trope is one of the key aspects of the narrative and its sidestories. Arceus moves a vast majority of the Pokémon and a handful of humans to Equis, and turns the selected humans into Pokémon. Some of the humans don't mind the change, though.

- Abraxas (Hrodvitnon): Vivienne Graham is revived and kept alive by San (Ghidorah's severed left head) while transforming her into a two-headed human-Ghidorah chimera Titan before she regains consciousness.

Twilight had never been so furious or worried. She was really on the verge of turning those spoiled little brats into cacti.
- The Pieces Lie Where They Fell: Mentioned as an effect of one artifact the group finds in the Questioning Order's vault.
