* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: [[spoiler: The Phantom Thieves inadvertently end up setting the stage for the Gabriel Agreste arc with both their actions and their inactions: He was able to find out about them and takes advantage of their heists to not only cause more akumas with their targets confessions. However, they don’t take their investigation into him seriously enough, resulting in him turning to murder in order to hide his identity, resulting in Audrey’s death. They also don’t do anything to help Adrien and even try to keep him out of the loop, resulting in him wandering into Gabriel’s Palace, almost getting killed in the process. And even though he’s able to save himself by awakening his Persona and agrees to join them, Bunnix warns that if Gabriel’s heart isn’t stolen in time, [[NonStandardGameOver he will become desperate enough to akumatize Adrien into Chat Blanc, causing the end of the world.]] Basically, if the Thieves had dealt with Gabriel a lot sooner, it would had saved a ton of grief for everyone, Audrey wouldn’t had died and Adrien wouldn’t be at risk of getting akumatized and destroying the world if the thieves fail to change Gabriel in time]].

* MoreInsultingThanIntended: After Adrien finds out in [[spoiler: Chapter 118]] that [[WeHelpTheHelpless the Phantom Thieves]] were aware of [[ControlFreak his father]] for ‘’months,’’ but only made a move to stop Gabriel when they learned he was [[BigBad Hawkmoth]], he bitterly stated that clearly, [[LackOfEmpathy none of them knew]] what it was like to live every day with someone like that. Since, in reality, at least a ‘’quarter’’ of the Phantom Thieves (Kagami, Ryuji, Yusuke, Makoto, Futaba, and Haru) had experience with abusive caretakers, they’re left [[JerkassRealization wincing]] at the realization that they’d basically put [[OpposeWhatYouSuffered opposing that familiar pain]] on the back burner because they [[NoSympathy didn’t register]] that Adrien was suffering.

* HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: Adrien shows this multiple times, first believing that Lila is a misunderstood girl who’s lying only because she wants friends and would have eventually stopped, and then that the Phantom Thieves are potential threats that will eventually abuse their power and should be taken down. This is in addition to his canonical defenses of [[AlphaBitch Chloe]] in regards to her horrendous behavior. At the same time, however, he is starting to outgrow this due to Lila’s confession, as he is able to quickly realize that Bustier would make a terrible principal. And while Adrien is jumping to conclusions regarding the Phantom Thieves, he is not the only one. Their operations look suspicious from the outside and nobody knows what their methods are. [[spoiler: And that’s not getting into what Goro Akechi did in the actual game.]]
* {{Hypocrite}}: Mme. Bustier doesn't follow or believe in her sayings about 'being a good example'. She knew from the start that [[spoiler:Chloe's behavior at school was unacceptable. But instead of curbing her bullying or talking with her father to find a solution, she basically kept Marinette as a distraction for Chloe to focus the majority of her bullying on, until somebody else came along to stop her]], while Mme. Bustier had all the means to do it herself. Her Shadow also claims that [[spoiler:she has moved on from Mr. Kutzberg to ''"better things"'', but her Treasure reveals that she wants to get back with him]].

** In Persona 5 tradition, the mission to infiltrate Audrey’s Theater of Egocentricity is given a deadline by the threat of her doing something drastic. In this case, that deadline involved pulling strings to bring [[AlphaBitch her daughter Chloe]] back to Paris, and the Thieves are forced to scramble in fear of all the akumas she’s [[UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom sure]] to [[TraumaButton cause]] upon her return. [[spoiler: When Chloe does return for Audrey’s funeral, it turns out that she’s gone through massive CharacterDevelopment in the wake of [[MyGreatestFailure Miracle Queen]] with the help of counseling at her new school, and she only wants to do whatever she can to [[MustMakeAmends make amends]] to her victims. Meanwhile, [[NiceJobBreakingItHero the Thieves’ infiltration]] of Audrey’s Palace eventually leads to Hawkmoth [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness murdering Audrey to protect his identity]], and using the city’s horror to cause another mass akumatization. Even after the heroes defeat the immediate gauntlet of enemies, the trauma the day caused [[SelfFulfillingProphecy led to weeks’ worth of akumas on a daily basis]].]]
* KarmaHoudiniWarranty: Why Chloe is only mentioned in the story: She was sent to a boarding school in Sweden by her father after a public outcry regarding her willingly working with Hawk Moth in the Miracle Queen incident and her not being punished for endangering lives in the past.

* StupidGood: Adrien earnestly means well, but his naivete and poor social skills lead him to grossly overestimate Lila and Chloe's desire to change themselves for the better and make multiple bad judgement calls in dealing with them.

&* For a more negative example, Audrey Burgois dies in a way chillingly similar to Okumura- they OutlivedTheirUselfulness to the Big Bad, and were murdered at their confessions before they could expose the masterminds. Even worse, the Phantoms [[AesopAmnesia learned nothing]] from Okumura’s death. They were so convinced Audrey’s confession would go smoothly, they were mid-celebration at an amusement park when Hawkmoth sent a swarm of akuma into Paris.

Editing in response to the latest chapter! I wasn’t quite sure whether to go with Beneath The Mask or Stepford Smiler- basically, I just wanted to show that Adrien had struggles the Thieves didn’t really understand.

** As the story approaches the climax, this gets Played With. When the Phantom Thieves confront [[AbusiveDad Cognitive Gabriel]], the members who actually know him and his son are quick to [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech accuse him]] of being the reason Adrien was too afraid to stand up against Lila. Later on, Akira is still well aware that Adrien did wrong, but [[JerkassRealization realizes]] that he and his friends were a bit too quick to dismiss Adrien as a “spoiled rich boy” and forget that [[BeneathTheMask Adrien]] HAD reasons, even if they didn’t understand them.
