Tropes appearing in this episode:
- Ain't Too Proud to Beg: For all the Trash Talk they like to throw to the party, Noémie and Dorothée are quickly reduced to desperately begging to be spared as soon as their Imagines are defeated. And when they run away to their mansion with their tails between their legs, they also beg for forgiveness to their mother for failing to deal with the party. Of course, Haltière's having none of it and absorbs them.
- Arc Villain: Chaos Haltière during the first half of the episode, and Deus Prometheus for the second half.
- All-Powerful Bystander: Dorothea and Da Vinci are invited by Aesop to watch over the party's progress, but they can't go and help them out because that would break Deus' seal. Dorothea naturally gets frustrated by this, and can only pray for their success.
- Anti-Climax: Alicia notes that the Ugly Duckling and Inger were sort of weak for being the guardians of the last candelabra. This is despite their status as Dueling Player Characters and
packing a lot of punch due to their largely unavoidable special attacks. - Chess Motifs: The First Island is based on the memory of Lewis Carroll, and its surroundings are chequerboard patterned, a recurring motif in Alice in Wonderland.
- Dueling Player Characters:
- In 15-1-12, the party meets the Ugly Duckling on the way to the Fifth Island, where they fight.
- In 15-1-17, the Ugly Duckling is fought again, this time backed up by Ingel. Their defeat allows the party to light up the last candelabra located in the Sixth Island.
- MacGuffin: The party is tasked by Charles Perrault to visit six separated islands made up of the Story Tellers' memories. In each island rests a candelabra called "Fire of the Soul", and they must light up each one to weaken Deus Prometheus while he's sealed away. Once all the fires are lit, the power of the six Story Tellers strikes Deus Prometheus down, dividing him into six in the process.
- MacGuffin Location: The seven islands. The party lands on the Central Island at the beginning, and the episode consists of them traveling to the other six.
- Me's a Crowd: In 15-1-18, the party is uses the power of the Story Tellers to attack Deus Prometheus and forcefully divide him into four parts, reducing his power considerably.
- Sealed Evil in a Can: Charles sealed Deus Prometheus off in the Central Island momentarily so that the party could go to the six islands and light up the candelabrum. While he's sealed, Deus sends four of his creations to deal with the party. By the time they are done, Charles is exhausted from holding Deus off.
- The Reveal: Deus Prometheus and the Mirror Maiden reveal they were Hans Andersen and the Mirror Plate Fiend all along, to the surprise of no one except the in-game characters.
- Trauma Button: Whenever Noémie and Dorothée show up Elena can't help but to feel extreme pain. This is because since she's sharing her body with Fam's soul, the latter trembles in fear when her stepfamily is present, which causes Elena to get so stressed to the point of passing out. It gets worse when Chaos Haltière stands before Elena, which causes her to transform into an extremely terrified Fam.
- What Happened to the Mouse?: Noémie, Dorothée and Haltière are left on their own in the fifth island (the latter heavily wounded from her defeat), and they are never seen again.
- Your Soul Is Mine!: Chaos Haltière revals to the party in 1-14 that she absorbed her two daughters' souls to make herself stronger (after their many screw ups). They get separated from her following her defeat.
