Tropes:
- And Your Reward Is Clothes: As you progress through the event, you'll gain access to Spiritron Dress costumes for the idol Servants. You can redeem them for free with tickets gained by reaching certain point goals, or by spending materials and QP like normal after the event is over.
- Big Damn Heroes: Miss Crane's introduction, as Mash points out, is the typical early part of the plot where a new and mysterious Servant comes out of nowhere to save them from danger and become their guide for the rest of the story. Except Miss Crane immediately gets taken down in a single hit, and it's up to Ex to actually save their skins.
- Breaking Old Trends: Unlike past events that require you to complete their main story before permanently unlocking their welfare Servant, Ex joins you for good partway through.
- Debut Queue: Miss Crane appears as a limited 5* Caster, and Mysterious Idol X Alter appears as a welfare 4* Foreigner.
- Don't Fear the Reaper: GIRLS GONE DREAMS, the idol duo of Serenity and Nitocris, have this as their theme. They sing songs about transience and bittersweet parting and encourage their audience to rest peacefully in the darkness as their concerts end. Nitocris says that she wanted to prove to people that endings could be kind and gentle.
- Graceful Loser: Every idol you defeat (aside from Elisabeth) takes it like a champ and praises your team for their stellar performance.
- "Groundhog Day" Loop: The Miss Crane who created the Singularity has been creating a loop that resets at the conclusion of each Grail Concert so her terminal unit can select a new idol to give an outfit to and lead to stardom.
- Multiple-Choice Past: Each member of Virtuosa has their own interpretation of how their group came together, and they're each so heavily slanted in favor of their individual member even Calamity Jane and Billy the Kid can tell it's more likely than not all bogus. They admit they don't actually remember how it happened, but they decided that should the day ever come when one of them decisively takes the lead and cements herself over the other two, their version will become the "canon" team-up story.
- Ripple-Effect-Proof Memory: Because Mash and the protagonist were outsiders to the Singularity rather than being summoned like everyone else, they're able to remember what happened before the mastermind Miss Crane reset the loop. Ex is also able to remember with the help of a Command Spell, but getting the Miss Crane they knew to remember is a bit more complicated and leads to The Reveal about her role in the Singularity.
- Ship-to-Ship Combat: An invoked example. MahaOP's fans are known for arguing over which ship is superior, and not even AxXxS is immune. Miss Crane considers this as proof of how successfully MahaOP has cultivated its devoted fanbase.
- The Reveal: As a sign of trust in an emotional scene near the climax, Miss Crane confides to Ex and the protagonist that she's actually Japanese. Both already knew because of how obvious it was, however, and pretend in a deadpan manner like it was unexpected.
