* AccidentalHug: In Chapter 14, a malfunction with the doll machine causes Komaru to land on top of Toko in a [[SuggestivePosition compromising position]].
* AcquiredSituationalNarcissism: As the reputation of the Thieves grows, so too does their hubris. This is seen especially with Komaru.
* ActingUnnatural: The Phantom Thieves, especially the Naegi siblings, are very bad at playing dumb when it comes to hiding their secret identities. It's a wonder how none of them have been caught yet.



* AdultsAreUseless: Shinichi Saihara, Shuichi's uncle, falls victim to both Fuhito Kirigiri and Kirie Akamatsu and whatever resistance he puts up is futile.



* AmazinglyEmbarrassingParents: In a manner, applies to most of the Phantom Thieves.
** Takao Naegi privately talks to Kyoko behind Makoto's back, telling her how much she is admired by his son.
** Shinichi and Tsubaki Saihara are this to Shuichi in most of the chapters where they are shown.
** Kirie Akamatsu's introduction features her teasing Kaede about her relationship with Shuichi.



* AnimalReactionShot: Monomi's reactions to unexpected scenarios are typically hilarious and she exhibits many traits that real-world rabbits do when she's outside of the Metaverse, particularly when she is called a Demon Rabbit.
* AssemblyLineFastForward: When Toko tries to change Komaru back from her doll form, the conveyer malfunctions, resulting in Komaru flying off the conveyer and [[SuggestivePosition landing on top of her.]]



* UnwantedHarem: Played for laughs.

* AlternateTimeline: While some canon events are shown in the story, the order and timing of each event are different. For example, Twilight Syndrome Murder Case happened the year before Makoto and his classmates joined Hope's Peak, but in this story, Makoto is in his second year at Hope's Peak and Twilight Syndrome hasn't happened yet. Additionally, the cast of Danganronpa V3 did not exist in the same timeline as the casts of Danganronpa 1, 2, and Ultra Despair Girls, but they are present here as first-year students at Hope's Peak.

* Protectorate: One of Komaru's driving character motives is to protect Kotoko Utsugi, whom the Naegi family starts to foster post the events of Towa's Palace, and whom Komaru acts as an older sister figure for.



** Kirie Akamatsu is [[DrivenByEnvy Envy or Jealousy]] as it's stated she's envious of the potential of youth, and takes advantage of Kaede's for her own benefit.
