* AlwaysSomeoneBetter: To Moyro's development team. Their ExplosiveLeash gelatin is likely the result of years of research and millions spent. Yet Hatsume removes the explosives like if it was unlocking a door. As well as to Teresa before her HeelFaceTurn as once Hatsume gets serious it is clear that Teresa never stood a chance and was at Hatsume's mercy all along.

Hatsume was sold off first, leaving Theresia behind to be beaten up by her kidnappers until they could sell her too. When the time finally came, Theresia was told that Hatsume was actually ransomed by her parents and had abandoned her to her fate. In reality Hatsume's parents were unable to contact the kidnappers a second time, but the damage to Theresia’s mind was already done]].

* ABirthdayNotABreak: Tsukikage had to go on a mission on her birthday. Her friends throw a party for her as soon as the mission is over.



* {{Determinator}}: Deconstructed because her determination to help Tsukikage as much as possible causes her to make impulsive decisions that put their missions in risk, as well as strain her body by training too much. Reconstructed when she learns to work as team and listen to the instructions of her mentor, which helps her control her emotions and be more efficient as a spy.

Also Byakko was merely mind wiped while Theresa and Mei were turned into bombs. Which means that even though she was discarded she still had value politically while Theresa and Mei hold no value even thought they are far more capable underlings. Also while Byakko accepted Hatsume's hand of friendship and joined Tsukikage as a supporter. Theresa rejected Hatsume rejoining Moryou even while being aware that she was used as a suicide bomber.
