* SummonMagic: The chapter features several of Lucy's [[BunnyEarsLawyer Celestial Spirits]] against Vergil, including [[TheBigGuy Taurus]], [[ArcherArchetype Sagittarius]], and [[NinjaMaid Virgo]]... all of whom [[CurbStompBattle are swiftly dispatched by the Son of Sparda]]. Vergil himself disdains such magic, noting that most practitioners simply leave all the heavy lifting to their summons, which he outright compares to slaves.

** When Vergil expresses [[LackOfEmpathy apathy at how much pain Loke is in after being stabbed]], Lucy angrily remarks he has no idea what the Lion Spirit has been through, a nod Karen's death.

** Likewise, he dispatches several of Lucy's [[BunnyEarsLawyer Celestial Spirits]] in rapid succession, and ties the girl up with her own whip when she enters the fray. Even [[RankScalesWithAsskicking Loke]] manages to do little more than hold him off slightly longer, losing the second he turns his back.

* HopeSpot: Loke manages to match Vergil blow for blow, and even nails him with his FinishingMove, turning to Lucy in triumph... only for the half demon to impale him InTheBack, to a watching Lucy's horror.

* MusclesAreMeaningless: Similar to his fight with [[TheBigGuy Elfman]], Vergil proves capable of stopping Taurus' full powered swing with a single arm, despite being significantly less bulky.

----
* AbsurdlySharpBlade: Vergil's Yamato, combined with his Darkslayer Style, lets him cut Juvia's Water Lock in half and hurt her despite her [[NighInvulnerable water body]].
* AnalogyBackfire: When Lucy declares she sees her Celestial Spirits in the same way as her family, Vergil points out that given her strained relationship with her father (her sole living relative) that indicates a rather ''poor'' relationship instead of a good one.
* BigShutUp: Lucy's response to Vergil's insults regarding her parents.
* BreakThemByTalking: Vergil continues his tactic against Fairy Tail members, and is [[KickTheDog especially brutal towards poor Lucy]], outright saying she should have ''killed'' her father and that her mother ''deserved'' to die for being weak.
* {{Catchphrase}}: Juvia makes use of her "drip, drip, drip" line.
* ContinuityNod:
** As part of his [[BreakThemByTalking breaking speech to Lucy]], Vergil brings up how her father hired Phantom Lord, which set off their attack on Fairy Tail, and her meeting with him [[RichesToRags after his fall from fortune]].
** When Vergil expresses [[LackOfEmpathy apathy at how much pain Loke is in after being stabbed]], Lucy angrily remarks he has no idea what the Lion Spirit has been through, a nod Karen's death.
* CurbStompBattle:
** Vergil's "fight" with Juvia consists of him easily deflecting all her attacks, and outright {{Speed Blitz}}ing her once he closes the distance, having taken no hits throughout.
** Likewise, he dispatches several of Lucy's [[BunnyEarsLawyer Celestial Spirits]] in rapid succession, and ties the girl up with her own whip when she enters the fray. Even [[RankScalesWithAsskicking Loke]] manages to do little more than hold him off slightly longer, losing the second he turns his back.
* DeathGlare: Vergil delivers one to Lucy when she points out that ''he'' is part human [[BoomerangBigot despite hating them]].
* EvilCannotComprehendGood: Vergil is confused as to why the members of Fairy Tail refuse to surrender despite being outclassed. He also asks Lucy why she ''didn't kill her father'' after his actions in the Phantom Lord arc, on top of not understanding why she's concerned over Loke's obvious pain, even if he isn't in danger of dying.
* ForcedToWatch: Bound by her own whip, Lucy is unable to help as [[RankScalesWithAsskicking Loke]] loses to [[TheDreaded Vergil]].
* GoodCannotComprehendEvil: Lucy can't wrap her head around Vergil's complete LackOfEmpathy.
* HereWeGoAgain: Vergil's response when Lucy refuses his offer of surrendering and coming peacefully.
-->'''Vergil:''' Somehow, I'm not surprised.
* HopeSpot: Loke manages to match Vergil blow for blow, and even nails him with his FinishingMove, turning to Lucy in triumph... only for the half demon to impale him InTheBack, to a watching Lucy's horror.
* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: Loke when [[MasterSwordsman Vergil]] impaled him from behind with [[CoolSword Yamato]].
* InterspeciesRomance: Discussed when Vergil expresses disgust at the idea of Loke (a Celestial Spirit) forming a relationship with a [[SquishyWizard "weak human"]] like Lucy. She points out he has no room to talk given he is a result of this trope.
* LightDarknessJuxtaposition: [[LightIsGood Loke]] against [[DarkIsEvil Vergil]], whose respective auras are [[GoodColorsEvilColors golden and dark blue respectively]].
* MusclesAreMeaningless: Similar to his fight with [[TheBigGuy Elfman]], Vergil proves capable of stopping Taurus' full powered swing with a single arm, despite being significantly less bulky.
* MythologyGag:
** Vergil's disgusted comment about Taurus' perverted nature is one of his quotes from ''Marvel vs Capcom''.
** Lucy's response to Virgo's requests for punishment are lifted from the Fairy Tail episodes ''For Pride's Sake The River of Stars''.
* NoSell:
** Juvia manages to shrug off Vergil's attacks thanks to her [[NighInvulnerable water body]]. Too bad he quickly finds a way around this with Darkslayer Style.
** Vergil easily manages to escape Juvia's Water Lock with Yamato.
* ParryingBullets: Vergil's response to Sagittarius' RainOfArrows, who compliments [[MasterSwordsman the level of skill with a sword required for such a feat]].
* TheSocialDarwinist: [[SmugSuper Vergil's]] core philosophy, believing that the strong should live while the weak will die.
* SpeedBlitz: How Vergil defeats Juvia and Taurus, the two unable to react to his barrage of attacks.
* SummonMagic: The chapter features several of Lucy's [[BunnyEarsLawyer Celestial Spirits]] against Vergil, including [[TheBigGuy Taurus]], [[ArcherArchetype Sagittarius]], and [[NinjaMaid Virgo]]... all of whom [[CurbStompBattle are swiftly dispatched by the Son of Sparda]]. Vergil himself disdains such magic, noting that most pracititioners simply leave all the heavy lifting to their summons, which he outright compares to slaves.
* ThirdTimesTheCharm: Invoked by Lucy when she summons Virgo against Vergil, and she is the first Spirit to land a solid hit on him... which he quickly shrugs off and utterly overwhelms her with his [[LightningBruiser superior speed and power]], subverting the trope instead.
* VillainHasAPoint: During Lucy's [[CurbStompBattle "fight"]] against [[OneManArmy Vergil]], she gets increasingly angry when he cuts down her [[SummonMagic Celestial Spirits]] without mercy. In response, he points out that she's the one sending them against a clearly superior opponent and if she truly wants to prevent them from getting hurt she should grow stronger herself.
* WorthyOpponent: When Erza shows up at the end of the chapter, Vergil admits he admires her strength and looks forward to fighting her.
* YouMonster: Lucy's opinion of Vergil after how brutally he cut down Loke.
