* CatSmile: Mori surprises Onotera with a CatSmile while he's raging about Japan's lack of preparedness for a major disease outbreak... he's even further surprised when she starts gushing over the possibility that she could get a chance to study a disease as rare and deadly as Ebola.

* TheEndOrIsIt: [[spoiler:At first it seems that the medical team has finally found a cure for the virus ending the epidemic, Sekiguichi believes that the virus must have mutated into another one which will be much stronger and contagious than the last one and that it will continue to spread as an airborne disease meaning that another epidemic might happen sometime at any moment.]]

* DiesWideOpen: Several of the diseases victims died with their eyes open. Well, [[{{Squick}} what was left of their eyes]], anyway.

* NotInMyBackyard: The Department of Virology, located in the National Institute for Infectious Diseases has the potential to operate as a BSL-4 (which is required to deal with deadly diseases such as Ebola), however it only operates at as a BSL-3 due to opposition from local residents and communities. This is an example of TruthInTelevision for the real life Department of Virology located in Kanto, Japan.

* WhamShot: [[spoiler: A single person in a crowd, exhibiting the IncurableCoughOfDeath, as the protagonists realize the virus may not only still exist, but is possibly mutating into an airborne strain.]]

* DownerEnding: The last chapter makes it very clear that [[spoiler:the virus may be mutating - possibly to an airborne strain, which would not only be much more contagious, but also be unaffected by the vaccine serum. Cue a scene where Ooshima and Misaki unknowingly walk right past someone with the trademark IncurableCoughOfDeath as 'disease particles' float around.]]

* BloodFromTheMouth: Happens ([[HighPressureBlood at high velocity]]) during the final moments of the victim's life, along with blood [[DeadlyNosebleed from the nose]] [[TearsOfBlood and eyes]]... [[BloodFromEveryOrfice and every other orifice]].

* DeusExMachina: Just when it seems that all hope is lost, [[spoiler: the virus is defeated by ThePowerOfLove.]] [[spoiler: WhamShot Or is it?]]

* DecoyProtagonist: Since she appears on the cover and since the first chapter revolves around her, it's very easy to mistake Akari for the series' protagonist. [[spoiler: She gets infected with the disease at the very beginning of the story, and from then until the very end does nothing except lying in her hospital bed looking miserable. Her family doctor becomes the hero.]]

* CorruptCorporateExecutive: The head of the Infectious Disease Center prefers to play golf all the time and have his second in command handle the situation. As the situation grows more dire, he goes public saying that the virus is under containment despite the fact that the doctors and scientists studying the case have not gotten nearly far with their research. His reason? ''[[OnlyInItForTheMoney He doesn't want the stock market to go down even further than it already has]].

* RecycledINSPACE: ''{{Outbreak}}'' IN TOKYO. (Though this doesn't make the series any less interesting.)

* EyeScream: The first sign of infection is that your eyes become extremely blood-shot, then blood begins to ooze from the corners. [[ItGotWorse It gets even better]]: In the final stages, your eye-balls being to liquefy... ''before'' you die.

* DidNotDoTheResearch: [[spoiler:"The virus is being consumed by the antibodies!" Uh, Antibodies don't work like that.]]
** Justified in that [[spoiler:the big reveal is that it turned out to ''not'' be a virus the whole time. See KissOfDeath below.]]

* RecycledINSPACE -- ''{{Outbreak}}'' IN TOKYO. (Though this doesn't make the series any less interesting.)
