* ArmorPiercingSlap:
** When Osomatsu is being especially insensitive during the first trial, Penny, of all people, slaps him for it. Though she does apologize for it later.
** Later on, [[spoiler:Osomatsu himself does this to Karamatsu after the latter had stated his intention to turn himself in for helping Zombina die (which is basically a death sentence).]]

** Out-of-universe, anyway, since this is a prequel in the real world but the first season in-universe. Due to the [[KillEmAll doomed]] premise of the round, the person guarded by the knife-wielding Roomba doesn't make survivor pool. [[spoiler:Instead, she dies in the very first case.]]

* NeverLiveItDown: InUniverse. Akira tried to check everyone's ''blood colors'' during the first trial; several characters objected on the basis of it being unsanitary to cut people open with an already-bloody knife. It gets mentioned when he suggests checks in the future.

* BlueIsHeroic: We finally see the colour of Rad's lazersword: blue.

* NotSoDifferent: Ardyn starts telling Rox this, only to subvert it.

* RealityEnsues: Unfortunately for [[spoiler:Zombina, a corpse, even a living one, can only go for so long without preservatives and she ends up slowly rotting away as a result.]]

* YourCheatingHeart: Subverted. Korra has no intention of actually leaving her significant other or sneaking around on her, and she only gives Osomatsu a pity date that she clearly outlines won't lead to anything.

Tropes from round four of ''Roleplay/{{Airlocked}}'' and its intermission. Please note that the ending twist to Round One is treated as a LateArrivalSpoiler on this page, as the remainder of the series cannot be discussed without it. For this round, the same applies to the concept of the round itself, which is a FirstEpisodeSpoiler.

* FirstEpisodeSpoiler: More like an Immediately-After-Reserves-Close Spoiler. This round is actually Round Zero/Season One, with the concept being that it's being rerun on television.

->"[[Disney/LiloAndStitch No one gets left behind. Or forgotten.]]"

-->ArcWords for the round

* ArmorPiercingSlap: When Osomatsu is being especially insensitive during the first trial, Penny, of all people, slaps him for it. Though she does apologize for it later.

* BloodSplatteredInnocents: [[spoiler:Akira and Penny get absolutely ''covered'' in Karamatsu's blood after he gets killed by Manaka's trap.]]

* BodyHorror: It's not described explicitly, but [[spoiler:Zombina rotting]] during Week 4 is pretty unpleasant. And then there's [[spoiler:[[ColdBloodedTorture Case]] [[NightmareFuel 4...]]]] (and unlike the above example, it ''is'' described explicitly!).
* BreakingOldTrends: Out-of-universe, anyway, since this is a prequel in the real world but the first season in-universe. Due to the [[KillEmAll doomed]] premise of the round, the person guarded by the knife-wielding Roomba doesn't make survivor pool. [[spoiler:Instead, she dies in the very first case.]]

* EyeScream: We see how Blaze lost his eye, or at least how he did in the sim as we know he lost the real one when he was jettisoned from the ship. [[spoiler:It ''wasn't'' against Bolton as had been assumed, but against Yuri.]]

* NeverLiveItDown: Akira tried to check everyone's ''blood colors'' during the first trial; several characters objected on the basis of it being unsanitary to cut people open with an already-bloody knife. It gets mentioned when he suggests checks in the future.

* PrecisionFStrike: Penny, of all people, spits an F-bomb at the Overseers' podium during the third trial's voting period.

* SayMyName: [[spoiler:Prompto at the first execution.]]
-->'''''LUCINAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!'''''

* WhamEpisode: Case 3. [[spoiler:We find out that Karamatsu had helped Zombina kill herself]] and then it goes downhill from there, from [[spoiler:Korra mercy killing him so he wouldn't be executed via airlock]] to [[spoiler:her entering the [[SuperMode Avatar State]] and [[HopeSpot trying to kill the overseers,]] only to fail and end up getting executed.]] And if that wasn't enough, then there's TheReveal at the afterparty that [[spoiler:Karamatsu and Osomatsu had pulled a TwinSwitch,]] meaning that [[spoiler: ''Osomatsu'' was the one who died rather than Karamatsu.]] And to top it all off, [[spoiler:Rox forces the guilt-ridden Karamatsu to inherit Osomatsu's title of Champion Waste of Space, meaning the system declared Karamatsu dead and Osomatsu still alive.]] [[TearJerker Yikes.]]
** Case 4, where we finally learn how Max died. [[spoiler:It's... [[ColdBloodedTorture not pretty.]] [[FromBadToWorse At]] [[NightmareFuel all.]] ]]

* ColdBloodedTorture: WordOfGod has ''heavily'' inferred that this is the fate of [[spoiler:the deadland interns after their strike against the Starfield base.]]

* ShoutOut: The intermission was heavy on ''Franchise/StarWars'' alien species, but this didn't seem new as they'd appeared before. However, it proved to be foreshadowing when the scene of [[spoiler:Jaycee leading the distraction team to Rox]] was framed to reference a similar scene from ''Film/TheEmpireStrikesBack''. The same goes for their source of information: [=BDecal=] references [[spoiler:'''B'''illy '''De'''e Williams as Lando '''Cal'''rissian in the same film, revealed when his memorable scene is reenacted]].

* [[invoked]] BileFascination: Chloe cites this as a reason to watch ''Film/FinalFantasyTheSpiritsWithin,'' though her own reason is clearly attachment to her girlfriend.

* GenuineImposter: Leon pretends to be an actor playing the "fictional" Leon when Moses shows up.

** Round 4 doesn't end with an EarlyBirdCameo foreshadowing the next round's Overseer in a mysterious message or recording. The only thing close was a text Rox received, and we never see who it's from.

* HopeSpot: [[spoiler: The captured Team Celeb actually make it to the exit of the prison and reunite with the other teams... and then Rox shows up, closing the doors and recapturing ''everyone''.]]

* DownerEnding: Necessitated by the premise of Round 5 for the living half of the intermission. The dead half gets one too: [[spoiler:the interns' raid presumably goes poorly and the dead return to stasis.]]

* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:The Doctor is killed protecting Junpei from the guard who's got Jaycee. The group also ''almost'' loses Kip as he tries to keep the rest from being crushed.]]
