* TrashTalk: Before she was taken over by the chaosflame, Arshka loved throwing severe verbal barbs in addition to physical violence. [[spoiler:Her insinuating to Arstovhia that the latter has sex with horses is how Arstovhia knows beyond reasonable doubt that the Arshka in front of her is the real one and that she has somehow recovered from the chaosflame corruption]].

* BrickJoke: In Chapter 13, the description for Arshka's soul crystal says that the chaosflame only warped her body because her mind was already filled with rage.

* PaintingTheMedium: Dark Shadow speaks in a strange voice that is inhuman and this is reflected by how differently formatted her dialogue is compared to other characters. When she merges with Tokoyami, the different formatting still applies, but is very consistent compared to the random changes when Dark Shadow alone speaks.


Added DiffLines:

* PowerAtAPrice: Vessels contracted to demons can use the demon's power in exchange for a specified price. Since demons are almost invariably evil, this tends to be something thematically fitting. Due to Dark Shadow being Tokoyami's Quirk before she was turned into a demon upon being isekai'd, she gives him the unique privilege of having a price that's easy to pay both practically and morally by only asking for apples.

** Yoichi compares Dark Shadow's demon form to Ryuk from ''Manga/DeathNote''.


Added DiffLines:

* UniqueProtagonistAsset: Tokoyami has the unique privilege of being bonded to a demon that demands nothing more than apples in exchange for power instead of having to pay far worse prices due to said demon being his Quirk before they were isekai'd.

* DeathIsCheap: Downplayed. For a Vessel, dying isn't irreversible, ''but'', the Vessels are dependent on their allies to revive them at an Altar of Egress to come back from death. Otherwise, they are either stuck in limbo, or absorbed by a non-allied Vessel to become stronger, rendering their death permanent. That said, knowing Vessels can be arrived means some otherwise reckless or wasteful tactics such as sacrificing your allies like Arstovhia did is not as stupid as it could be, so long as an enemy Vessel doesn't get their soul crystals first as Arstovhia found out.
