** Hisui opening Eclipse in every timeline imaginable led to some disastrous long-term results even she could not foresee. Not only does it destroy Fiore in the first place, but it also factors into the alternative Rogue and Acnologia's plans to TakeOverTheWorld in the alternate timelines, as well as the X792 Lucy's death via HeroicSacrifice.

* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Even without Future Rogue's involvement, the Eclipse Plan would have brought the dragons to the present anyway. In [[BadFuture Future Lucy's timeline]], she failed to close Eclipse in time before 10,000 dragons got through, resulting in the catastrophic annihilation of Fiore. [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone Hisui has no one to blame but herself for causing it to happen]].

Removing speculative troping.


** This arc is a particular offender of this trope. In fact, the only official opposite-sex matchups in the ''entire game'' were the incredibly minor Millianna vs Semmes and Lyon & Yuka vs Kagura and Millianna, both of which got expanded in the anime. Could be justified since the king picks most of the match-ups, but later on when the battles become real there is another aversion in the Lucy & Yukino vs. Uosuke fight.

* PercussiveShutdown: Even with Eclipse gate closed, dragons have still come through and will inevitably destroy the continent. The only solution seems to be: [[TimeyWimeyBall break the gate in the present, erasing it's existence in the future, preventing the X798 Rogue from instigating the disaster in the prime timeline,]] [[TemporalParadox so the dragons can never cause the catastrophe in the first place]].
