Added DiffLines:

* RaceAgainstTheClock: The Saint of Killers gives Jesse one hour to find him a soul before he kills Tulip and Cassidy.


Added DiffLines:

* SealedEvilInACan: Rather than send the Saint back to Hell (which could be a problem now that he has one percent of Jesse's soul), Jesse locks him in the back of the Soul Happy Go Go van and drives it into a swamp in Angelville.
* SoulEating: The beginning of the episode shows a poor couple selling something, which we later find out is the man's soul, which the company then sells to rich people as cures for ailments. Later on, when Jesse gives the Saint of Killers the one percent of his soul that was extracted, the Saint promptly eats it.

* AndIMustScream: Jesse disposes of the Saint by [[spoiler: locking him in an armoured car and sinking the car into a swamp.]] Unusually, this is actually ''less'' cruel than Jesse's original plan of sending him back to Hell, but [[spoiler: the Saint has one percent of Jesse's soul in him now, and Jesse is understandably worried about the consequences of having even that much of his soul be in Hell.]]

* BatmanGambit: Jesse manages to convince the Saint of Killers not only that he won't, in fact, get his promised reward of being reunited with his family for killing Jesse, but that Jesse can do so by first getting the Saint a soul, which he needs in order to enter Heaven, and then using his powers to send him there. [[spoiler: He does get the Saint a soul - actually a small piece of his own - but once it's in the Saint, he reveals that he's figured out that it was being soulless that made the Saint immune to Jesse's powers, meaning that the Saint is now at Jesse's mercy.]]
* BlessedWithSuck: Having a soul makes it possible, at least in theory, for the Saint of Killers to go to Heaven. Too bad for him, it also [[spoiler: means he can no longer NoSell Jesse's CompellingVoice.]]

Added DiffLines:

* BarehandedBladeBlock: Cassidy grabs the Saint's sword blade to keep him from swinging it at Tulip. A more realistic version of this trope than usual, since he catches it as the Saint is pulling it back for the strike rather than when it's already in motion, and it still doesn't turn out too well for him - see {{Fingore}}, below.

* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: The soul trade looks an awful lot like the black market for organ donations, with shady businessmen buying from people in desperate financial straits and selling to rich people with otherwise incurable conditions.
* {{Fingore}}: Cassidy grabs hold of the Saint's blade to keep him from cutting down Tulip. He wins some precious seconds by doing so, but at the cost of the sword ''[[AbsurdlySharpBlade slicing off all his fingers.]]'' Don't worry, [[GoodThingYouCanHeal they grow back by the end of the episode.]]


Added DiffLines:

* OurSoulsAreDifferent: Parts of them can be extracted, stored, and turned into pills. [[MundaneUtility Even fifteen percent of a soul is apparently an instant Alzheimers cure.]]
* PostModernMagic: The Japanese extracts souls with high-tech tools, transports them in an armoured car and sells them as pills. Apparently it works really well - he's all but driven the traditional magicians out of business.
* ReasonYouSuckSpeech: Jessie delivers one to the Saint [[spoiler: when he's got him controlled by his voice]], asking him if he really expected to live happily ever after in Heaven with his family after all the many [[MoralEventHorizon Moral Event Horizons]] he has crossed.
