* IKnowYoureInThereSomewhereFight: [[spoiler:Chapter 6 has Arika trying to have Ari!Carter, by then an undead, vicious automaton, come back to his senses. He does, only long enough to ask the heroes to kill him, believing that it would be the only way to stop Aricin from taking over his soul and body completely. Uniquely, in the same chapter, Ari!Carter himself tries to do this to Aricin, telling him that the heroes are trying to help him. Only in Chapter 7, where we see Aricin's true personality, do we see why Ari!Carter would say those words.]]

** Starting in Chapter 5, [[spoiler:Ari!Carter Grayson ends up getting controlled by Aricin Velothi, who by then is a corrupted spirit. This is not the first time his hypothetical actor, Drew Gulak, played a heroic character who became corrupted by an evil group: back in CHIKARA, Soldier Ant appeared as a brainwashed member of The Flood. And much like how the rest of the Colony tried to snap Soldier out of his brainwashing, Chapter 6 even has a "I Know You're In There Somewhere" fight as a nod to it, courtesy of Arika and later Sean, only this time their efforts stuck, albeit with great difficulty for everyone involved.]]

!!Tropes Associated to ''Power Rangers Clockwork''

* AdaptationNameChange: Lahar, Lamashtu[[spoiler:/Shadow]], and the Amalgam are all renamed Asgaut, Brynja, and Aricin Velothi in the story.
* AdultFear: The backstory focuses on the very fear of a family member getting harmed by their own parents for a specific reason. Aricin Velothi grew sicker and had hallucinations, the effects of poison. It's also implied that Brynja, Aricin's own mother, was the one who poisoned him, and she refused to have her husband, Asgaut, see him. Meaning that Asgaut was powerless to save his son, and when his body was gone, he simply believed his son escaped when he did not, trying to hold onto hope. And the reason why Aricin was poisoned? To obtain immortality.
* ApocalypticLog: Chapter 2 focuses on Asgaut's journals, detailing his life from when Velothi Castle was constructed to a strange death and subsequent revival of a worker. They also revealed some disturbing fates later on. A few years after the incident with the revived worker, Aricin was struck with a piece of metal, and over the course of several months, he succumbed to poison. Asgaut later faced the same fate, only it took years for him to die, and was suited into strange armor in order for him to reach immortality. And Brynja, who had slowly descended into madness thanks to the whispers of Delarium, may have had a hand in those actions.
* TheGhost: Aricin Velothi, only described in the journals in Chapter 2 but has not made an appearance outside of a painting.
* HypotheticalCasting: Once again, the writer fancasts several characters, including a recast.
** Ari!Carter Grayson--the Red Lightspeed Ranger in Arika's world--has his original actor, Sean Cw Johnson, playing him in flashbacks in ''IV''. Starting in ''Power Rangers Clockwork'', his new hypothetical actor would be Drew Gulak. In-universe, the recast is justified because Carter's original body is in no condition for a resurrection, and Akira decides to create a new body that closely matches Arika's regular combat style.
** Brynja's hypothetical actress would be Heather Masters, best known as Circus Baby in ''{{VideoGame/Five Nights At Freddys Sister Location}}''.
** Asgaut's hypothetical actor would be Robin Atkin Downes.
* LateArrivalSpoiler: Arika and Ari!Carter appearing in the story gives away what their fates are in ''IV'': that the former regains her memories, personality, and powers, and the latter's brought back to life, albeit in a new body.
* MeaningfulRename: Like in the original mod, the castle used to be called "Velothi Castle", but due to the metal used for the rooms and the portal, as well as how hard the Velothi family worked on said portal, it was renamed "Urverk Castle". "Urverk" roughly means "Clockwork" in Swedish, even though the story takes place in Norway.
* MinimalistCast: There are only six named characters featured in the story: Arika/Ultimate Goddess Arcadiarika, the Carter Grayson of her world, Sean/Ultimate Red Legendary Ranger, Brynja, Asgaut, and Aricin Velothi. As well as countless unnamed Gilded Automatons.
* OnTheNextEpisodeOfCatchPhrase: "And soon, another page of the tale will be revealed".
* PowerTrio: Arika/Arcadiarika, Ari!Carter Grayson, and Sean, of the TwoGuysAndAGirl variant.
* RelatedInTheAdaptation: In the original mod, a character known as Amalgam has no relationship between Lahar and Lamashtu. His equivalent in the story, Aricin Velothi, does, being the son of Brynja and Asgaut Velothi.
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: Ari!Carter's reaction when Asgaut tells the Rangers that they are trapped in the castle in Chapter 2.
-->'''Ari!Carter''': "You mean to tell us we’re ''trapped here''? Yeah, ''no'', I’m sorry, but this is one of those times where I have to say this…\\
…I heard y’all out, I think y’all are fucking insane, ''I’m outta here!''"
* ShoutOut
** The sword Brynja gifts to Aricin is named "Mezzanine", which is taken from [[{{Music/Mezzanine}} the album of the same name]] by Music/MassiveAttack.
** Ari!Carter's response to Asgaut, as seen above, is based on Joel Rawlings' reaction in the first episode of ''Power Rangers Lightspeed Rescue''.
** The remnant featured in the story has the same properties as the remnant in ''Five Nights at Freddy's'', in which it's used to bind a soul after death, and it breaks down in high temperatures.
* SomethingCompletelyDifferent: The story marks a departure in that there's no liveblog, it is simply a side story written in script format, and the usual characters such as Rika, the other Legendary Rangers, and the Brotherhood of Destruction do not appear.
