* AllAccessibleMagic: Lilia taught Yuu of an ancient method of conjuring magic via borrowing magic from the world into a medium such as writing up runes on objects and/or using a customized magical pen to write the rune anywhere with the pen as the medium conduit. While the method had been considered legitimate and had basis in ancient history, many magicians in Twisted Wonderland derided Yuu for being a "fake" due to the magicians feeling that the method is an attack on their pride and break the status quo of Twisted Wonderland that a magicless individual are beneath those born with magic. Additionally, this method has been considered obsolete and impractical in the modern day of Twisted Wonderland that only a full-blooded Fae can safely use this method due to their natural affinity to nature, unless one is taught how to use it, like how Lilia taught Yuu.

** Yuu doesn't get to fully see it, but Ruggie's reaction to Yuu hosing Leona to escape and distract him is mad and unrestrained cackling. Trey also had a similar reaction to hearing that Yuu hosed Leona like she's punishing a misbehaving cat.

** Shiina Yuu is an example of this in contrast to the canonical Yuu due to being more willing to take matters to her hands and defend herself when prompted.

* RejectedApology: Riddle's apology to Yuu for nearly killing her in his overblot was rejected with Yuu reasoning that she isn't the one that Riddle should be apologizing to, and that if he does wish to apologize to her, she wants him to apologize because he ''wants'' to, not because he is obligated to.

* RevengeByProxy: DiscussedTrope between Yuu and Lando, who surmised that Riddle tried to use his Unique Magic on Grim during the failed unbirthday party that led to the duel but failed due to Lando and Irene's timely rescue. Lando surmised that since Yuu, who had been the main offender who called out to Riddle outside of Ace and Deuce, is magicless, Riddle tried to seal off Grim by proxy instead.

* {{Expy}}:
** The author mentions in their tumblr that Yuu in ''black or white'' was partially inspired by Natsume Takashi from ''Manga/NatsumeYuujinchou'', albeit snarkier and [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold not as nice]] as the character that she was inspired from.
** The author also mentions that [[spoiler:Yuu's grandmother, Kaname, was inspired by Natsume's grandmother, Reiko in return, though Kaname is far friendlier and much more beloved by the supernatural than how the supernatural perceive Reiko in ''Manga/NatsumeYuujinchou''.]]



* LateArrivalSpoiler: The story having tidbits and vignettes of future events not covered yet in the [=AO3=] upload leads to this effect to some of the plot twists and reveals of the story, some of which are also applied in the VideoGame/Persona5 crossover AU WhatIf story ''black bird''. Namely, [[spoiler:Yuu's grandmother was spirited away to Twisted Wonderland in the past and the fact that she's spirited away at all becomes the source to how Yuu's family and some of her relatives had a supernatural ability or have a sixth sense, and the death of Yuu's grandmother is a huge turning point that affected how she eventually grew up before she was brought to Twisted Wonderland.]]

* SpiritualAntithesis: With ''Fanfic/CountingSheep''. Both stories had a similar concept of an AmnesiacHero Yuu who are both TrappedInAnotherWorld. However, that's where the similarities end. ''black or white'' serves as a DeconstructionFic towards the canonical Yuu's situation and gears towards a shounen-esque take of the usual Twisted Wonderland novelizations, while ''Counting Sheep'' reconstructs aspects of it. The two Yuu's also differ both in personality and the relationship that they had with the cast. ''Counting Sheep'' Yuu is optimistic and her airheadedness garnered worry from the cast who eventually get pulled to her due to warming up to her optimism and eventually form a polyamory with her, while ''black or white''' Yuu is a snarky cynical JerkWithAHeartofGold who is far more guarded due to awareness of her own situation and doesn't trust easily, so she had a strictly platonic relationship with a majority of the cast due to them recognizing how guarded she was, while those that ''do'' like her romantically can be counted by one hand.

* PointOfDivergence: The story's protagonist is if Shiina Yuu, who is an OCStandIn to the canonical Yuu, is assertive of her stance and actions and proactive in trying to find a way to survive in another world and defend herself, which resulted in these changes:
** Lilia is the one who filled in about the exposition of Night Raven College to Yuu instead of Crowley in virtue of Yuu bumping into Lilia who was on his way to the entrance ceremony, instead of hiding in the library.
** Yuu enlisting the nearest student she can find to deal with the fires caused by Grim has those three students eventually seek her out and befriend her. Said action ended up catching attention to herself with Kalim in particular looking for her.
** Due to Yuu going shopping with Lilia for clothes and other necessities, Crowley is the one to deal with Grim instead when he invaded Ramshackle.
** Yuu stopping the fight before it officially started means that Ace, Grim and Yuu herself avoided the punishment of having to clean 100 windows while the circumstances that led to the chandelier breaking is something else.
** Due to seeing the mirage of a white haired girl wandering around Heartslabyul grounds, said girl helps them out together with Lando to escape from Riddle’s wrath at the first Unbirthday Party in the Heartslabyul chapter and eventually reveal Riddle’s past to them instead of hearing them from Chen’ya. This also led to Deuce and Grim avoiding the “Off with Your Head” treatment.
** Lilia offering to tutor Yuu in the Twisted Wonderland equivalent of Formalcraft led to Yuu eventually being considered a magician. Showing off everything that she learned under Lilia’s tutelage led to all the teachers recognizing Yuu’s potential and made a request to separate Yuu and Grim from the 2-in-1 student program so Yuu won’t be hampered by Grim’s lack of progress. [[spoiler:Unfortunately, this led to the CerebusRetcon of why Grim accepted Azul’s deal.]]
