* TooDumbToLive: Shameek, having just stolen a fortune from Cottonmouth, goes to a local strip joint and throws money around. Sure, he didn't know that Cottonmouth already knew he was the thief, but a more prudent man might have realized that the day after a mob boss had been robbed would have been a very bad time to look like you were suddenly and inexplicably flush.

Added DiffLines:

* SparingTheFinalMook: Luke doesn't act against any of Cottonmouth's mooks who're extorting Connie until they attack him first, but after effortlessly beating the first three and showing off his SuperToughness in the process, he takes a look at the last man standing (who happens to be [[ChekhovsGunman Sugar]]) and gives him the option of leaving. Sugar is quick to take him up on it.
-->'''Luke:''' ''[opens his hand, dropping the bullet fired at it point blank to the floor]'' You want some?\\
'''Sugar:''' ''[eyes wide with shock]'' I don't even like these niggas, man! ''[Leaves the restaurant while staying as far away from Luke as possible]''

* AssholeVictim: No one sheds a tear for Dante or Shameek considering how they're petty criminals involved in the hijacking of a million dollars. Averted with Chico who was just a kid, who got pulled into their scheme.


Added DiffLines:

* SignificantBackgroundEvent: Cottonmouth slaps Shameek a few times. Doesn't seem like much torture, until it cuts to Shameek's profile, you see him drooling blood, and behind him is Tone holding a baseball bat.

* BulletCatch: Justified as Luke just grabs the barrel as the gun fires, then shows the bullet in his gunpowder-scorched palm.



* JediMindTrick: Pops mentions this trope verbatim, saying it's necessary to convince young boys to get the help they're too proud to ask for.



* SickeningCrunch: A GiantMook takes a swing at Luke, and we get a SlowMotion shot of his wrist breaking on Luke's NighInvulnerable face.



** Pops refers to Luke's time in Kilgrave's control as a "JediMindTrick".

Added DiffLines:

* TheDreaded: Cottonmouth's reputation is such that Candace feels uncomfortable delivering several bottles of Ace of Spades up to his private box all by herself and has to ask Luke to come along with her.
