[[spoiler: Orion, Zevrakex and Paluis sent him to this world as Peacekeeper between the dimensions and so he could be Elliot Kireks missing "Heart" and Standard piece.]]
* UnusuallyUninterestingSight: The only time Elliot reacts to a non-canon, but major character´s appeareance, despite having a Laptop that sends him all past episodes, is [[spoiler: when he encounters Hotaru for the first time.]]

* FromNobodyToNightmare: [[Spoiler: Ari. She was at first a resident of the Original Dimension alongside Zarc, Ray, and Elliot Kirek. She was originally a girl born too weak to even go outside her family's mansion. It was her friendship/romance with Elliot that had given her the strength she needed to finally go out into the outside world and Kirek was the one who taught her how to harness and manipulate Duel Energy(D.E.). When the original dimension was destroyed, however, she was the only survivor because Kirek sacrificed himself to save her by protecting her with the last of his D.E. Being stranded in a space outside of the dimensions, Ari still had her D.E. and continued to grow in power until she was capable of creating her own little world and even three new friends to keep her company. Those three being non-other than the beings of balance, Orion, Zevrakex, and Paluis. Eventually, Ari was able to look into the other dimensions to see what they are like. By this point, Ari's power could be compared to that of a god. Her downward spiral truly began when she explored the four dimensions and saw everyone so happy. Ari was jealous of their lives and had come to resent them for being so oblivious to what had happened to the original. It would come to a point where she could not even set foot within any of the dimensions. She regains hope when she sees Elliot's counterparts but gets increasingly frustrated when she cannot find Elliot's missing "heart." The straw that broke the camel's back was Academia's invasion on the [=XYZ=] dimension and leaving it a wasteland. What follows can only be described as Ari becoming consumed by her hatred towards humanity's negative aspects and deciding to destroy everything. If it weren't for her three friends imprisoning her, she would have wiped out all four dimensions then and there.]]

* INeverToldYouMyName: [[spoiler: Hotaru ]] does a downplayed version of this in Chapter 59. [[spoiler: He reveals Elliot´s real surname, Reid, which was up to that point not stated by ANY character in the story and he immediately reveals how he found it out.Being the memory part of Elliot Kirek, he has access to every memory of all of Elliot´s counterparts ]] and this only the start of an even huger reveal.
* {{Irony}}: In Chapter 1 Elliot says: "...I know better than to give you my second name. I´m not telling you my age or where i live or any of that,..." Most of these are revealed later in the story.
* LineOfSightName: Downplayed. Not wanting to tell Yuya his real name, he makes up the name "Zekaki", which sounds suspiciously similiar to Yuya´s last name

* TheStationsOfTheCanon: One of the examples why TropesAreNotBad. While nearly all events that happened in canon happened here as well, most of them are OutOfFocus and we only got a brief summary of Elliot´s reaction, and there are a LOT of characters and plotlines added.
