* InTouchWithHisFeminineSide: The "More Faces" short shows him behaving in a more girlish manner and wearing a flower necklace. It's implied it's because a stick figure's face influences their personality, and thus being given a normal face with a flower necklace made him act like this.

This establishes that, while he is a very dangerous threat, he's NotSoStoic and undefeatable. In a way, it actually mirrors the Chosen One's own EstablishingCharacterMoment.

But he decided to waste time toying with them before [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown going all-out against the Second Coming]], thus making the orange stick figure pissed off and near-death enough to unlock his SuperMode and destroy everything he had, seemingly including his life.
** The Dark Lord could've peacefully become a KarmaHoudini by simply continuing website raids by himself (or with the Chosen One), thus never being stopped by anything, but he decided that wasn't enough and made a virus army to cause even more irrepairable destruction across the Internet, thus making the Chosen One decide enough is enough.

* KarmicDeath: After spending years as the most powerful person around who brought fear into others, it's only fitting that the Dark Lord himself meets his end at the hands of someone far stronger than he is, having to run for his life because nothing else would work.
* KickTheDog: He literally kicks Red's dying body for no reason other than to seemingly provoke his friends into fighting.

** victim: Both were mistreated by the Animator and became evil as a result, but while the Dark Lord is superpowered and ultimately targets ''countless'' innocents in his path of evil, victim is powerless and has his revenge focused on strictly the Animator and whoever else he needs to harm.

* VillainousValor: Ultimately subverted. Sure, he ''seems'' extremely brave when confronting the Chosen One or the Animator, but that's because he's confident in defeating them; when faced with a superpowered Second Coming, he loses all bravery and just makes a run for it, on top of past moments similar to this.
* RightHandAttackDog: They more or less serve as the Dark Lord's animalistic CoDragons.
* VillainousValor: In sharp contrast to their master, they are actually unafraid of anything, though it steers into FearlessFool territory.

* BiggerStick: His one is absorbing mobs: Herobrine was his equal if not ''superior'', giving the king a good fight and seemingly winning, but it all comes crashing down once King Orange learns how to absorb mobs into his staff, being firmly on top for the rest of the fight.
* ConflictKiller: Herobrine was ''not'' willing to let Red escape the Monster School, but he drops all of that when he sees King Orange putting his students in there. From there on, the ''Minecraft'' legend teams up with the heroes to defeat the king, and once the day is saved he lets Red go peacefully.
* DavidVsGoliath: The Goliath towards both the Second Coming and Herobrine, being a whole head taller than both of them. The fight against TSC is a stalemate, but the fight against Herobrine is unarguably a King Orange victory.
* {{Determinator}}: His body is MadeOfIron, and so is his spirit: King Orange spent ''at least'' months researching everything about ''Minecraft'' to avenge Gold, made numerous plans (most of them [[IndyPloy on the spot]]) to defeat his opponents, and ultimately didn't go down even in a fight. Tellingly, he is the only antagonist so far that wasn't defeated via being beaten in a fight or being befriended (though that ''would'' come later), but by ''giving up'' so he could focus on [[EvenEvilHasLovedOnes something else]].

* ReformedButNotTamed: His final HeelFaceTurn has apparently done nothing to degrade his manipulative nature as his first real action in his return to the mainline shorts is to form a master plan to help Red splat a cake in Green's face (who, notably, is arguably the closest to Purple out of the Stick Gang).

Added DiffLines:
* MakeWayForNewVillains: King Orange shows he's far from a normal ''[=AvA=]'' villain by easily murdering a Piglin Brute for failing him, straight after we've seen Piglin Brutes go toe-to-toe with the Stick Gang.

* CharacterizationMarchesOn: "The Flashback" characterized the Dark Lord as more or less a hyperactive PsychopathicManchild who is really excited to spread worldwide destruction with his creations. "The Showdown", however, changed the Dark Lord into a silent NoNonsenseNemesis who's dead-set on killing his enemies and shows little emotion.

* VillainousLegacy: Years after his defeat and presumed demise, the Chosen One escaped to ALANSPC because he wanted the Second Coming's help to deal with the Mercenaries - not realising he doesn't have access to his SuperMode and that was a one-time thing - because he saw the orange stick figure use it against the Dark Lord.
