* DeathByIrony: Raven is fatally wounded by Olivier Armstrong in an act of vengeance for the soldiers she lost in Sloth's tunnel – the same soldiers who Raven viewed as acceptable losses – and dies while buried in some wet concrete at Briggs' bottom level, placing him quite literally beneath even the lowliest of Briggs soldiers.
* FallenHero: Lampshaded by Olivier. When she skewers Raven's hand with her sword, she takes the time to casually remark how, once upon a time, he was an idealistic young man who would've gladly died for his country man. But between his crumbling morals and fear of old age, Raven's become a whole different man, one happily willing to go along with a conspiracy that would sacrifice the country he once loved.

* IronicEcho: And how! Moments before his death, Raven tells Olivier how the sacrifice of the weak shall be the foundation of their country. As such, Raven turns those words against him when she uses those words to [[StealthInsult describe him]] before she wounds him and condemns him to drown in cement.

* TrojanPrisoner: Played with. While Briggs isn't exactly enemy territory for Ed and Al, the arrival of Raven and Kimblee compels Ed to invoke this trope. Ed uses alchemy to quickly transmute rope and the brothers are tied up while they are escorted to their cell.

* PoorCommunicationKills: Played with. On one hand, it's somewhat [[JustifiedTrope justified]] why Hohenheim couldn't stick around longer explain to Ed and Al why he was leaving, as it was too complicated for him to tell his motivations to his innocent toddler sons. On the other hand, if he had at least bothered to say a proper "good-bye" or told his sons "I love you", he and Ed might've parted on better terms.
