* DoubleMeaningTitle: Princess Tutu may seem like the titular "Marionette", as the story is about how she's a pawn in Drosselmeyer's plot for a tragic ending, fighting for her own destiny. But the title also applies to Fakir (who is trying to move past his [[IHatePastMe former self]]) and Kraehe (who's been a servant to the Raven for as long as she can remember).

* {{Foreshadowing}}: When Mytho is telling off Kraehe that no one could ever love the daughter of a monster Raven, he's seen scratching himself as though itchy. This foreshadows that he's growing feathers, as the Raven's blood is turning him into a Raven creature.
* KickTheDog: Under the influence of the Raven's blood, Mytho casually tells Kraehe that nobody could ever love her for being the daughter of the Raven. This deeply hurts Kraehe.

* CharacterDevelopment:
** Fakir's IHatePastMe attitude apparently testifies how little he cares to return to who he was in the previous season: a cold, frustrated young man who [[ControlFreak possessively clung to whatever control]] he had in his reach. He's come so far, and he wants to fight for the people he loves rather than bury his own feelings for them.
** Likewise, Duck/Princess Tutu has come to appreciate how people have their own feelings and style of dancing (which [[RuleOfSymbolism represents]] their individuality) and wants to become more than Drosselmeyer's puppet.
* TheReveal: As Kraehe learns from a flashback, she's not the daughter of the Raven. She was the daughter of two human parents whose baby was stolen by ravens.
* SpannerInTheWorks: Uzura proves to be one by turning back the hands of time and allowing Kraehe to see her past. This leads to her learning she's really a human, causing her to turn back into Rue and [[HeelFaceTurn start her path to redemption]].
* WhamShot: Shortly after learning of her human origins, Rue hears Mytho close by and is mortified to see ''he's become an anthropomorphic raven''.
