* UnscrupulousHero: Justified. Naofumi buying a slave and trying to turn her into a TykeBomb makes a lot of sense in-context. With Naofumi's non-existent attack power and inability to use offensive weapons, he has no means of leveling up himself. With all of his money stolen and all support that should have been given to him revoked, Raphtalia is the only one he can afford. No one is willing to team up with him because he is a HeroWithBadPublicity, and he has since given up all faith in humanity due to his TraumaCongaLine. Buying a slave with a magical crest that will prevent them from lying to him or stabbing him in the back is the most sensible option at this point.

!Tropes for this episode include:
* AfraidOfBlood: Raphtalia hesitates in killing the rabbit monster because she has a fear of blood.
* AppealToForce: Naofumi threatens an in-keeper with a balloon monster clinging to him into given him and Raphtalia a room.
* CowardlyLion: While Raphtalia's [[AfraidOfBlood fear of blood]] keeps her from killing the rabbit at first, she goes through with it when it is revealed that the whole reason why Naofumi bought and trained her was because he needed her help against the Waves of Catastrophe. She later swallows her fear against the two-headed dog-monster when he tries getting her to escape when it was clear that she couldn't kill it.
* {{Hellhound}}: The monster that killed Raphtalia's parents was a three-headed dog-beast. She and Naofumi encounter a two-headed version as they farm for ore in the cave.
* ItIsDehumanizing: Inverted. Normally when your hero says that "slaves aren't people" ([[SlaveryIsASpecialKindOfEvil let alone the fact that they are buying slaves in the first place]]), things get problematic. However, since he has since come to the conclusion that HumansAreBastards, he has since turned off with the idea of entrusting his life to a citizen of Melromarc. The fact that he doesn't acknowledge Raphtalia as a "person" might be the closest thing to a compliment he intends on giving anyone.
* KnifeNut: Raphtalia's starter weapon is a long knife.
* LaserGuidedKarma: Discussed. When Elhart sees how callous he is to Raphtalia, he remarks that "[he's] not going to die a painless death."
* PetTheDog: While Naofumi remains a {{Jerkass}}, it becomes pretty clear to Raphtalia that [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold he doesn't see her as an object]]; [[AFatherToHisMen tending to her illness, feeding her, ensuring that she can defend herself, gives her a haircut and even buys her a toy when she sees a group of children playing with one]].
* TrainingMontage: Most of the episode is Naofumi and Raphtalia killing low-level monsters for ExperiencePoints.
* UnscrupulousHero: Justified. Naofumi buying a slave and trying to turn her into a TykeBomb makes a lot of sense in-context. With Naofumi's non-existent attack power and inability to use offensive weapons, he has no means of leveling up himself.
