* WhamEpisode:
** Her EstablishingCharacterMoment in Chapter 7 '''really''' hammers home how insanely different she is here than in the canon.
*** First of all, she's terrified of Odd and Ulrich; two people whom in the canon she's best friends with, and is even playfully teased by the two in regards to their personal nickname of Princess for her. Not only that, but she's rather... automatic, in terms of how she speaks, and super polite as well, and she doesn't appear to desire to escape from the facility even though in the canon it was the opposite desire. Not helping matters is that it appears to be a LogicalFallacy of her own naivety that leads to her wishing to stay, since she honestly has no idea that Franz is long dead due to [[spoiler:Aelita being convinced that it's still Christmas of 1945, and always has been ever since Franz told her to forever cherish that day, and even though she's abused verbally and physically by Megalodon, she ''still'' doesn't escape while she has the perfect chance to do so.]]

* {{Foil}}: [[spoiler:To Mirror M. Both of them are actually two completely different attempts to create an UltimateLifeform; Mirror M was intentional, and created using science, whereas Yumi was by complete accident, and created through paranormal means. Mirror M's background is also extensively documented by his creators, but Yumi's own background is deliberately left incredibly vague to the point that, aside from her upbringing being supernatural, nobody knows the exact details of where she came from other than just "appearing out of nowhere". Also, whereas Mirror M has no true grasp of subtlety and a crass personality, Yumi is more of TheStoic who while having some NotSoStoic moments, she's actually a NiceGal when you view her as an ordinary person. One last thing was that Mirror M relishes his own power, but Yumi hates her powers she has because it ultimately prevents her from being normal and destroys her from the inside out; Mirror M's own power does not harm himself at all by comparison.]]

* MindRape: A power she possesses the ability to do, but rarely uses it.

* TheImmune: [[spoiler:{{Telekinesis}} fails on him entirely, at least when it comes to tampering with his mind or forcing him to do things. He's Yumi's SecretKeeper regarding her true origins because he's too innocent for Yumi to want to target, and Hiroki sees a personal benefit with Yumi's telekinesis to some capacity...]]

* AdaptationalJerkass: While it's true his grayer shades of morality are downplayed, his own {{Jerkass}} tendencies from the canon are played up more. Once someone gets to know him more, he has the tendency to be a ControlFreak about everything he gets involved with while possessing some kind of control of the situation.

While his intelligence on Frealliean's statistics is unparalleled due to the previously unknown nature of Freak Phase 3 in general, his reckless decision making due to this selfish desire to communicate with Aelita is also the cause of the entire problem as to why Frealliean even showed itself to begin with, as we also see Jérémie's skittish behavior very quickly once William has too many red flags about Jérémie register in his head and accidentally sets off a FreakOut from him.]]

* SuperMode: Liberation, which unshackles Aelita's soul from her physical form into a EnergyBeing PhysicalGod whose simple touch can inflict immense amounts of damage to a target. Aelita becomes so powerful in this temporary form that she registers as Phase 5, and once the timer for the skill ends, she becomes completely disorientated from the power high she had just experienced. This is a ShoutOut to the move Liberate from ''VideoGame/ParasiteEve'', which effectively does the same thing for Aya all the way down to the disorientation at the end of using it.

That, and the fact he's held his job for over 20 years well over the time he would've had plenty of window to retire much earlier than he plans to.

* ShownTheirWork: Not directly, but in the Author's Note of his debut, Willaim's strength has nothing to do with the Zweihänder or its real-life counterpart; an actual greatsword in real-life doesn't tend to get heavier than 10 lbs./4.5 kg, with fictional greatswords being the ones notorious for weighing a lot (such as [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII Cloud's Buster Sword]] at 80 lbs./36.3 kg). What the author means by this is that, rather than using his weapon as a means of showing his strength, he had William pick up and lift Jim over his shoulder since he knew regardless of which weight you would use for his sword, [[BigFun Jim]] [[RealityEnsues was already going to be heavier regardless.]]

* PianoDrop: Has a cannon which (somehow) materializes entire grand pianos to launch at opponents.

!! [=AI#404=] "Player Four"

An extradimensional entity that has no ties to physical or virtual planes, and can likewise give this ability to literally anything and everything that is otherwise constrained by the realm of fiction so long as they possess a visual or audio form of existence prior. It can summon entities from fiction to do its bidding, such as the shark from ''Film/{{Jaws}}'', the titular birds from ''Film/TheBirds'', even summoning its own weaponry from fiction such as [[WesternAnimation/TheTransformers Megatron's Fusion Cannon]], [[Film/PacificRim a Jaeger]], [[Franchise/StarWars The Death Star]], among other things. Currently lacking a body, [=AI#404=] has been successfully contained and in storage for quite some time, having initially been created at some point during TheNineties, and has been archiving media for it to use as a reference point in its mind ever since.

* AnthropomorphicPersonification: Of [[ShoutOut Shout-Outs]].
* DidYouJustFlipOffCthulhu: [[spoiler:Via its TakeThatUs nature against the author, it's casually launching Take Thats at ''Grandis'' as well.]]
* FourIsDeath: "Player Four"
* MediumAwareness: It seems rather self-aware of what it does and the many gratuitous Shout-Outs it makes via it's SummonMagic at times, and some of what it says are even [[SelfDeprecation not so subtle jabs at the author]].
* MeetYourEarlyInstallmentWeirdness: Not for ''Fanfic/CitadelOfTheHeart'', but for ''WesternAnimation/CodeLyoko''. He represents the Season 1 version of X.A.N.A. who was more akin to a GenericDoomsdayVillain; no true characterization, next to no strategy to his plans aside from the end goal always being to kill the Lyoko Warriors, even trying to kill Aelita as well, and X.A.N.A. would simply try and try again only to ultimately fail in his schemes once more. This is in contrast to ''Reflection Code'' X.A.N.A., who while being characterized differently, is effectively the later season versions of X.A.N.A. from the start.
* SelfDeprecation: Aimed towards the author more often than not.
* ShoutOut: As a living, breathing AnthropomorphicPersonification of the concept.
* SummonMagic

* ShownTheirWork: Just about everything regarding his true form and even his personality is reflected in cassowaries. Cassowaries are notoriously shy in the wild, and only display their infamous fatalities against humans when they're far too close in proximity for the bird's comfort. Garuda's tendency to hide behind doppelgangers of himself or flat out impostors altogether reflects that, much like a real cassowary, he's a shy prick in a DirtyCoward sense, and that whenever he's in close proximity of humans or other threats, he will not hesitate in the slightest to attack with lethal force.

* GenericDoomsdayVillain: Because of Garuda actually being controlled by someone else at first, it lacks an actual motive of its own initially. Once it becomes free to do whatever the fuck it wants, it decides to try and focus on killing the Garage Kids and Mirror M just to finally be rid of them, as it's had to deal with an angry madman's screaming in rage against Garuda for failing to kill them repeatedly, which made Garuda trying to kill them on its own merits rather [[ItsPersonal personal]] because of how annoying their presence started to become for it.

* AllDeathsFinal: He's the reason the Return to the Past program can't reverse death even though it can flat out reverse time otherwise; he designed it this way solely to allow it so that he himself would be erased from existence upon his planned CessationOfExistence.
* CessationOfExistence: Something he deliberately inflicted upon himself since he knew too many secrets from which he did not want anyone knowing of, so he took those secrets with him to the grave permanently.

* AdaptationalEarlyAppearance: Comes with the fact he's an AscendedExtra; in the original show he was non-existent in Season 1 and didn't appear at all until Season 2's opening episode, and even then he didn't even go to Lyoko until Season 3's finale.

* BehemothBattle: Against Phase 2 Mirror M in the climax of the first arc of ''Reflection Code''.
* BloodierAndGorier: Its death when compared to every other death of an antagonist so far; [[spoiler:Mirror M rams his dorsal spikes into its underbelly and guts it alive, but Omega Diatrex survives long enough to give one final attempt to kill Mirror M by biting him on the neck. Seeing Omega Diatrex to still be alive, Mirror M suddenly grabs Diatrex's jaws and forces them open as he completely tears off the skull and part of the spine.]]
* EyeScream: [[spoiler:Mirror M's Power Roar stuns it for a while, but the debris of buildings being blown away from the blast stab into Omega Diatrex's eyes and leave them completely red up until Omega Diatrex goes blind altogether very rapidly.]]
* GameBreakingInjury: Gets inflicted with multiple of these across its whole fight with Mirror M that gradually make its Phase 4 state a moot point against Phase 2 Mirror M.
* GodzillaThreshold: The Garage Kids hold off on trying to dispose of Mirror M since they know they can at least do something to Mirror M considering his gouged out eye, but they can't do anything at all to Omega Diatrex but they quickly realize that's not going to be an issue for Mirror M.
* {{Kaiju}}
* SNKBoss: The Phase 4 state of Omega Diatrex is what gives it the edge against Mirror M the majority of the fight and even almost manages to kill Mirror M until Mirror M does indeed overpower it due to a more varied arsenal and lack of too many game breaking injuries, unlike what Omega Diatrex suffers the whole fight.
* SuperMode: Phase 4 of one of the most dangerous AIs in existence.

* GenreSavvy: [[spoiler:He knew showing up in-person against William was a stupid move, so he rigged Freak Phase 2 from prior to the Return to the Past to impersonate himself and go in after William instead, with a microphone attacked to Freak to allow Megalodon to speak through.]]

For more general information, check under Protagonists (Canon) on the Characters/CitadelOfTheHeartSwordArtOnlineCastAndAffiliates page.

* AndNowForSomethingCompletelyDifferent: Whereas ''Sword Art Online: Special Edition'' currently only has a mere cameo from Yumi and her family, Keiko is flat out a main character in ''Reflection Code''. {{Justified}} in that she's originally from Japan but she's explicitly stated to be studying abroad in France at numerous occasions whenever she's mentioned. ''Reflection Code'' flat out confirms this to be the case as she attends Kadic as a college student and part-time staff as well. As for her fitting this trope as well, her reveal as part of the cast is a WhamShot because of the fact it basically means Jérémie's role in the fic thus far currently has nothing to do with the others for the time being.

However, no matter how much Ken respects his brilliant IQ, he absolutely hates every other aspect of Megalodon with an absolute burning passion.

Phase 2 Freak wouldn't have been powerful enough to also knock the power out in the supercomputer; something Phase 3 Freak wouldn't have had any issues with at all in comparison, simply just framing is Phase 2 counterpart to further fool Odd and Ulrich.
