* YourTerroristsAreOurFreedomFighters: A subtle one in Episode One. When planning how to infiltrate Bossanova's racetrack and watching [=Zer0=] effortlessly sneak in like usual, Sasha and Fiona use 'Vault Hunters' as a synonym for 'badasses', as most Pandorans who aren't bandits are accustomed to do. Vaughn as a Hyperion employee on the other hand mutters 'damn Vault Hunters', and claims that they're worse than bandits.

* TheNothingAfterDeath: In Episode 5, [[spoiler: after Helios has crashed and Jack has tried one last time to kill Rhys by forcing him to choke himself to death with his own arm, Rhys begins ripping out all his cybernetics to get rid of him for good. Jack [[OhCrap realizes what's about to happen,]] and starts desperately begging Rhys to stop, even dropping to his knees, saying that he doesn't want to go back to being dead.]]

* TheTeam
** TheHero[=/=]TheLancer: Both Rhys and Fiona can fit into either roles depending on the situation.
** TheBigGuy: Loader Bot, as the most combat-capable individual of the group.
** TheSmartGuy: Vaughn, whose primary talent lies in his accounting skills.
** TheChick: Sasha, who serves as the relative emotional center of the group.
** SixthRanger: Athena in Episode 3, temporarily joining the group to train and mentor them.
** SixthRangerTraitor [[spoiler: Felix betrays the team for a briefcase containing $10 million, while Yvette betrays the group to Vasquez-turned-Rhysquez for a promotion (but Rhys gets accidentally promoted before her.) Depending on the player's choice, both of these characters can die or live to the end of the series.]]

* TheNothingAfterDeath: [[spoiler:Jack begs Rhys not to kill him because he doesn't want to return to the afterlife, which he says is nothingness. Of course, this being Jack, his statement should be taken with a large dose of salt.]]

* FreezeFrameIntroduction: New characters get introduced with a BulletTime animation including a stylized TitleCard with the character's name and a brief, typically witty descriptor about them.

* WeaponOfChoice: Well, native Pandorans seem to like using Jakobs pistols or assault rifles, fitting for a SpaceWestern. Bandits, of course, use their trademark guns and Vasquez wields Hyperion weapons. However, native baddies use semiautomatic Dahl repeaters, which are similar to Jakobs revolvers, except they have a bigger clip size and fire slower. Along with that, bad guys tend to use weapons with Torgue barrels, and Hyperion employees/soldiers always wield weapons from the company they work for.
