* AchillesHeel: You would ''think'' silver would be the werewolves' weakness, and indeed it ''can'' slow down their regeneration ability, but it turns out there's another metal far deadlier to them called '''wolfonium'''
* AdaptationalVillainy: As seems to be increasingly common in modern media, Literature/{{Cinderella}} gets this treatment, here portrayed as an evil witch. [[spoiler:However, in the last few chapters, she ends up joining forces with the Hunters Guild out of necessity to stop Horlock/Geppetto. She still promises to fight Grimm again afterward, though.]]

* DiabolusExNihilo: Cinderella and Lycaon suddenly show up at the end of the fourth chapter and attack Kasoka Village. [[spoiler: Chapter 8 revealed they intentionally {{Invoked}} this to achieve the DoomedHometown portion of Velou's tale necessary to galvanise him to join the hunter's guild, as whatever changes Horlock made to their plans by including Dodou and the rest in the tale ended up leaving all 3 werewolves dead and nobody else from the village harmed, saved the Mayor, who had faked his death at that point, thus Velou had no reason to start his journey]].

* AnAxeToGrind: Mayor Horlock's weapon was a small hatchet that he used to chop wood and apparently kill the werewolf that ate Velou's parents. He would often let Velou use it to help him chop wood blocks for the village, and when grimm is swallowed by the Granny werewolf, Velou seizes the Axe after blasting her through the roof of her mouth as a distraction and splits her stomach open chest to groin in a single blow to pull Grimm free, [[TragicKeepsake taking it as his own weapon]] going forward. [[spoiler: Grimm is surprised how effective the axe was in hurting the werewolf, given how tough the beasts are, and later figures out that the head is made of [[AchillesHeel wolfonium]], and that the wood-chopping exercises Velou did with the Mayor were actually secretly training his body up to be capable of wielding the axe in battle, motivating her to bring Velou along with her to the hunter's guild to figure out what's going on with [[MysteriousPast him]]]].
