* GroundhogDayLoop: The main plot of the arc is to find the reason behind the continous repeat of the 28th of October in Miranda's town, that affects the entire town but not the entire world (as the Order finds about the phenomenom thanks to the phone call of an innkeeper asking for wine all the days thanks to being trapped in the loop), with only Miranda, Allen, Lenalee and Road being aware that the day keeps happening again and again. Eventually, it is revealed that the loop was happening because Miranda activated an Innocence in her grandfather clock that reacted to her feelings of not wanting to see another day when she was fired from her 100th job.

After discovering that Komui's assistant and sister, Lenalee, is an Exorcist thanks to an incident with one of the inventions of the chief from the Black Order, Allen is sent with her to a mission in a certain town in Germany, where a strange phenomenon suspected to be Innocence in which the town has been unable to be accessed from the exterior has been happening for a while. Meanwhile, a resident from the town, a dark, depressing woman named Miranda Lotto has been tormented by another weird event: she keeps experiencing the same day again and again, but no one in the town seems aware about that but herself. In the middle of this, the Earl decides to sent one of his strongest enforcers to the town, in an event that will shake Allen's world forever.

* TheArtifact: The "Destruction of the Black Order Incident" mini-arc in the anime loses a bit of its purpose after Lenalee was shown to be an accomodator an episode after (the whole thing in the manga is more or less an excuse to reveal that Lenalee is also an Exorcist), coming as a fillery comedy episode. However, as the end of the mini-arc in the manga served to introduce the Noah (who would become the main antagonists of the series) it was kept in the anime as part of the continuity.



* BreatherEpisode: After the rather dramatic end of the previous arc, the "Destruction of the Black Order Incident" two-part chapters and episode serve for a wacky comedic event involving Komui's shenanigans in the Order before the Rewinding Town arc begins.



* EstablishingCharacterMoment: During the first appearance of the Noah Clan, Skinn Bolic (who for a single page becomes the very first Noah to appear not counting the Earl) proceeds to beat an Akuma maid to death after being served an egg, which he complains it's not sweet. This quickly tells you all you need to know about him.

Added DiffLines:

* EarlyBirdCameo: Lulu Bell appears very briefly in the manga at the end of chapter 18 when the Noah gather to receive the instructions of the Earl. This scene wasn't kept in the anime, though there she would have her own EarlyBirdCameo in the Order in Crisis arc.
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: During the first appearance of the Noah Clan, Skinn Bolic (who for a single page becomes the very first Noah to appear not counting the Earl) proceeds to beat an Akuma maid to death after being served an egg, which he complains it's not sweet. This quickly tells you all you need to know about him.
* {{Foreshadowing}}: The reveal that Lenalee was forcefully separated from her brother when she was a child after she was found as compatible with the Innocence and then abused by its members until Komui reunited with her is the first showcase that the Order may not be as ideal or benevolent as it appears to be.


Added DiffLines:

* TheHeavy: While Road is the main antagonist of the arc, her three Akuma are the ones who do the dirty work for her through the arc, usually confronting the Exorcist while she watches the fight.
* QuirkyMinibossSquad: Road's Akuma trio are a bit more fleshed out than the average Akuma in the series, with an unique ability to each one, a preferred method to kill people and a childish, at times comedic personality. The three of them are all destroyed by the end of the arc.
