* HidingBehindTheLanguageBarrier: During the Day of the Dead festival sequence, Miguel talks to two women who sold him liquor (but do not speak English) and rants about how he is a hitman who has put many people in the ground. Between this, his [[LargeHam tone of voice]] and [[MilkingTheGiantCow bombastic body language]], it's [[SarcasticConfession pretty obvious they did not understood him at all]].

* DamselInDistress: For all her skill as a hacker, Electra is way out of her depth and probably would have been killed on multiple occasions if not for Rath.

* BastardUnderstudy: Rath and Nikolai were legendary UsefulNotes/ColdWar assassins. After Rath killed Nikolai, Bain regarded Rath as the superior assassin, adopting his weaponry and studying his methods. Unfortunately Bain also thinks he must kill Rath in turn to become Number One himself.
-->'''Bain:''' He thought you were his friend, and now I know...that was how you took him. You killed him to be Number One.
