* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: [[spoiler:Turns out giving a troubled suicidal teen the position of God through just a process of elimination maybe wasn't the best move for the universe at large.]]

* BittersweetEnding: [[spoiler:The new God takes his own life, which erases the existence of the angels, the heavens, the humans, the Earth, and finally the universe, all so that death will disappear. However, as a result of so much death, it creates a rush of energy that causes the birth of a brand new universe and the possibility of life anew.]]

* ArtisticLicenseBiology: Kakehashi kills the virus in Fuyoko’s bio weapon with the white arrow. Viruses are nonliving, and therefore, cannot be killed.

* GutFeeling: Hajime's angel Balta is known as the angel of Intuition and he's quite good at deducing other people's intentions.

* ManBehindTheMan: [[spoiler:God is revealed to have been created by a bunch of seemingly immortal beings in the end. When Shuji-God kills himself, it's unclear if they live up to their immortality or not, as they are only mentioned in passing and otherwise play no role in the plot.]]

* RingsOfActivation: Whenever God candidates summon their Arrows to their hands, rings of light manifest at the base of the arrows.

* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: [[spoiler:Turns out giving a troubled older teen the position of God through just a process of elimination might've not been the best move for the universe at large.]]

** [[spoiler: Later it's revealed that humanity and god himself were created by an immortal being/beings who wished to find a way to kill themself(ves), with implications that this is not the first time they had done it]].

* HeroBall: [[spoiler: Nakaumi, under orders of Yoneda, threatens to kill Yumiki, Temari & Hanakago with a White Arrow, and it's quickly found out he's been hit with Yoneda's Red Arrow. It would seem that Nakaumi has the advantage, as none of the ladies have White Arrows. However, the series has made it clear that anyone with Angel Wings can outrun a White Arrow, which all three ladies have. Second, Red Arrows can deflect White Arrows, which all three ladies also have. Lastly, God Candidates are still susceptible to physical damage. Between these three facts, a decision could have been made to escape, or to engage Nakaumi in combat, either of which could have worked. However, instead the three ladies allowed themselves to be captured, setting up the final confrontation between Yoneda and Kakehashi.]]
