* IRejectYourReality: All three heroes are guilty of this, but while Ren is the "chuuni loner" type who thinks he can do things on his own without needing teammates, the other two both take the cake by far. Motoyasu is convinced he's TheCassanova and savior of all women while Itsuki sees himself as the praiseworthy, Robin Hood-esque HumbleHero, and while reality itself begs to differ, they're adamant to a downright insane degree that they're right despite being Proven wrong. Because they end up blatantly ignoring all the facts and (initially) refuse to change, they just come off as self-righteous idiots that get in the way of actual heroes like Naofumi, who they antagonize as a cowardly cheat and an evil monster no matter how many times he's either proven his competence and been flat-out right. As you've probably seen already throughout this trope page, their behavior doesn't change until the Spirit Turtle incident, where they have no choice but to confront their own toxic behavior after the end result was countless lives being destroyed and being despised by everybody on the continent.

* Another subtle hint: "I see dead people". The Sixth Sense had come out in theaters barely a year prior to the events of the fifth Final Destination movie. Nowadays, that joke has been done to death.
* It's also smart how they hide it on at least one occasion. Before September 2001, while a possible cause for tragedy, terrorism could not have been the go-to explanation for police forces to try to comprehend such events. Similarly, it's the only movie not to make any reference to Flight 180 when people investigate the situation.
* The song "Dust in the Wind" is heard on the plane and on the bus on North Bay Bridge.
* In the opening credits of the film Flight 180 explodes. A metal bar shaped like a "V" crashes through the screen...

* CompetitionFreak: doesn't intervene with his social life/relationship/friendships
* FingerMuzzle: Does this to Raj, quell his doubts

* {{Foil}}:
** MK, both have a rivalry with Julia, sneaky side, BrainsVersusBrawn, BrainsAndBrawn
*** ALighterShadeOfBlack, a good team player and ally..., gets along with others for the most part off-competition, unlike [[ImNotHereToMakeFriends MK and Julia]], PunchClockVillain

* JackOfAllTrades:
* LesserOfTwoEvils: good qualities/traits that most villains lack... Julia is much worst... This is way more evident in the next season... MK and Julia's schemes/cheating
* ObviousVillainSecretVillain: He and MK are the Secret Villains to Julia's Obvious Villian as while everyone is focused on Julia, ... subtly enact their schemes
* ScreamsLikeAlittleGirl:
* TheWorfEffect: His placement as and impressive

!!!Emma (-/7)
* FatalFlaw:
** HorribleJudgeOfCharacter
* HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: Chase, keep letting him be his boyfriend/back into her life ...to the point, picks the ''opposite'' of her opinion and gets it right every time
** [Rephrase] Axel lampshades that she can't stop making out with her ex-boyfriend, who cut her breaks, and she doesn't know people as well as she says she does. This ultimately leads to Emma's second elimination as the fourth voted off when she performs poorly in the challenge by convincing several teammates to trust her poor instincts.
* LoveMakesYouDumb: taken severe lapses in judgement, as twisted and unbelievable as it is, she misses him deep down ... grasping at straws
* MirrorCharacter:
** To Zoey, love interest, it never worked out, lost cause
* NowOrNeverKiss: cassowary, exacerbate, must have clouded her judgement
* RelationshipSalvagingDisaster: cassowary cave, raging, this barely lasted as the next episode
* SlapSlapKiss: dating Chase, claim those times he hated/loathed his guts was just a phase when it's clearly not the case, underplaying or trying to justify what had actually happened

!!!Julia (-/8)
* TheAlliance:
** However, she finally... WorthyOpponent in MK, who despite causing her elimination, similar mindset, BrainsAndBrawn
* CharacterDrivenStrategy:
** A first, drastically different, the change reflects how she treated the game, changed strategy
** hippie, shallow, passive-aggressive, coast by, midway
** in light of her exposure, manipulation, scheming, hiding one's true self, differs by having the most straightforward, blunt and upfront in her nastiness towards others
** found a mix between the two
* ContrastingSequelAntagonist: has no strategy, doing the challenges as intended to gain immunity, [[BoringButPractical simple as that]], can never get her alliances to work past one episode
* {{Foil}}: To the other two strategic contestants and antagonists on the Frogs of Death:
** Bowie: social game is different as night and day, meaning hers sucked harder than a sandpaper lollipop, allied with Priya and Millie ... zero, won half ...have no prior training
** MK: no social skills, sarcastic and BrutallyHonest, nice albeit passive-aggressive although she reveals to be much more nasty than she initially lets on, puts up an unassuming front to not be a threat yet also not be TheLoad ....Julia was seen as the load to her team then later a threat, never made it past the merge, reach the final four
** Nichelle, points out that ''she's'' famous and has no idea who she is, reputations were affected during the show
* NiceJobFixingItVillain: pointed out the tokens at the lake below the bridge, eaten by a mutant whale/fish, handed Priya the immunity, allowing Bowie to enact his plan and directly led to her elimination
* SocialMediaBeforeReason: During several instances, Julia would get totally engrossed in her phone
** Special mention since she apparently thought it meant a reverse selfie where you're not in the picture to which Chef wastes no time calling her out on at the bonfire ceremony.
* TooDesperateToBePicky: Her status as a FriendshipHatingAntagonist leaves her in a vulnerable position, alliance, attempts to join the Nerd Girls, exploited by Bowie, EnemyMine

!!!MK (-/4)
* HoistByTheirOwnPetard: sarcasm
* {{Irony}}: even though she overheard, instead of more discreet methods like blackmailing, letting Julia, indiscreetly post it on her social media platform, lost her leverage, DiscOneFinalBoss,
** In addition, the fact that her strategy is supposed to make her a finalist does work but Bowie is the one to enact it instead means her actions not only eliminated her right before the merge but also aided the two primary antagonists to reach the finals.
* ObviousVillainSecretVillain: She and Bowie are the Secret Villains to Julia's Obvious Villain
* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: If MK hadn't posted the raptor incident online, Julia would have remained an unremarkable competitor and most likely be voted off early ... embraced her true self, challenge beast

!!!Raj (-/5)
* DivergentCharacterEvolution: softer side when it comes to Bowie, a bit smarter
* GoodLuckCharm: "Lucky Playoff Beards"
* {{Keet}}:
* RescueRomance: Getting saved by Bowie twice from an oncoming boulder and a shark-infested tapioca pudding pit... caused him to [...] and later [[TheBigDamnKiss kiss him]] respectively
** on the spur of the moment/impulsively kissed him, led them to start a relationship
* ThoseTwoGuys: often do joint confessionals, got eliminated together

** Zee, being the AllLovingHero as he is, velociraptor, he does apologise and was incredibly sorry
* LackOfEmpathy: Emma, laughs at Priya...plunger face, hallucinations, Nichelle
* MakeOutKids: What most...on good days, the finale
* ThePrankster: Alongside stunts and dares, ....His livestreams are centered around pranks... never did it on the show proper, the reason why Emma broke up with him, DeadlyPrank
* SocialMediaBeforeReason: never did a selfless act in his life, if he even knows what the word means, cutting the breaks to Emma's car played it off as just a prank
* StarCrossedLovers: Chase was under the impression, "secret teammates", delusion, was ecstatic to be on the same team once the merge happens

* IgnoredExpert: when Ripper was trying to be in charge, constantly dismisses and calls her a nerd

* TrainingFromHell: From the day she was born, Priya's parents... includes rock climbing to get away from bears, spending one summer at catapult camp, another evading emus and ostriches, surviving in the wilderness, finding a literal needle in a haystack, subjected Millie to a very watered-down, diet version of what she went through, borderline child abuse

She’s also the head knight so losing isn’t much of an option for her either. She’s a princess so she bears a lot of responsibility for someone so young. She falls into despair.
*** Claire
** '''Lutheran:''' They both put up an unassuming front towards their friends, family and closest associates in order to further their selfish desires for more power. Lutheran poses as a loving step-father to Sherry and her mother
*** apathetic mob, somewhat cares for his friends and wouldn't involve them and directly put their lives in danger for the sake of his goals, only using them for his own means, cure his ailment at the cost of other people's lives, Cid can cure possession
** '''Gettan:''' Gettan has a more proactive approach and immediately goes on the offense as he firmly believes "If you don't want anything robbed from you, you have to rob from others" but all his actions and life choices based on said philosophy only made him [[SelfFulfillingProphecy lose everything he holds dear and led straight towards his demise]]. Cid doesn't take action and does his own thing unless others have provoked him, steal... in his desperation in a roundabout way
*** Speaking of Yukime, Gettan and Cid (as John Smith)'s relationship with her reflects them as characters[[note]]Gettan had a long history with Yukime, initially betrothed to her as a loving fiance before going down his StartOfDarkness in his pursuit of strength and becoming her mortal enemy from giving her physical and mental scars...dies in regret, still loves her in the end, but can't do anything about it[[/note]]
*** Gettan doubles down on his behavior and only relents when he's near Death's doors, Cid tries to, albeit failing, self-reflect on his actions... that is unfortunately one-sided for her as Cid is completely disinterested and maybe even ''incapable'' of love, devoted her life to him without knowing
** Akane: put up a facade in public, StepFordSmiler, expectations
** '''Seven Shades:'''
*** Alpha - They pride themselves as the strongest and the best, with the skills to back it up, authoritative
*** Beta - desire, acting skills are left to be desired, selfish desires, totally infatuated and puts him on a high pedestal the most
*** Gamma - overly ambitious, greed, consumption, incredibly clumsy, driven by ambition...hard-earn business, modern innovation, illicit means, PerpetualPoverty
*** Cid's magic power is not top tier, but with his knowledge of many martial arts, intense training, and grasp of magic that allows him to use his power in a ridiculously efficient way, his actual combat prowess is very far above his theoretical weight class. Gamma has immense magical power, ridiculous strength and speed... but is such a piss-poor combatant that she struggles against adversaries she should have steamrolled. [Rephrase]
*** Delta - The two are childish, battle-hungry, impulse-control problems, bloodlust, the reason why Cid is more like his actual himself around her out of the shades, if he had not kept his SBS mindset under control
*** Zeta - brooding nature, tendency to disappear on short notice

* GreyAndGrayMorality: kills whoever he considers as bandits, is doing the good of the world, unaware, but that doesn't stop him from nuking parts of the city, collateral damages be damned, doesn't kill the "pitiful" (which says something about his moral code when he doesn't refer to them as "innocent")
* TheHedonist: dangerous serious world, live not just survive like everyone else, ConspicuousConsumption, any morally-dubious action because it was fun
->'''Cid:''' I want to stay true to myself and stay alive so I can have fun as long as possible.

** [[MrSmith John Smith]], SecretAgent, BadassInANiceSuit, calm and collected, elegance, catch on earlier than intended, modeled after spy flicks, RazorWire
** Minoru, innocent amnesiac, Black Knight (What Shadow is called on Earth), Katana
** Suzuki, TheSmartGuy, AwesomeByAnalysis, FourEyesZeroSoul, ThePenIsMightier
** Jack The Ripper, best described if SBS was all grown up, SerialKiller, MonsterClown, ShroudedInMyth, OneManArmy, most notable to be the only persona to ''not'' have Cid's InnerMonologue or insight, serves as running commentary to cut the tension, tension-relieving, played as the [[KnightOfCerebus most serious]], [[TokenEvilTeammate evilest]] persona of Cid's to date, different colour scheme and style to Cid's usual wardrobe, rainbow, checkered, striped pattern, GoodIsNotLight
** his true personality is somewhere in between Shadow and Cid
* MoneyFetish: finances, John Smith
* PersonOfMassDestruction: he has a body count for each of his personas
* PreMortemOneLiner: saves his best lines... optimal
* RetractableWeapon: As his arsenal, slime
** extend the blade for better reach/range, armor can retract his sword into it and 'draw' the sword from anywhere else in his body
* ShadowedFaceGlowingEyes: hood, prominent in the manga and light novel illustrations, [[RedEyesTakeWarning ominous red eyes]] as the only visible part
* ShoutOut: As the PopCulturedBadass he is, and the only one on account of references not existing in the Isekai World,
** defeat pose in the manga, gone all white, similar to ''Manga/TomorrowsJoe''
** Mundane Mann drops his [[PowerLimiter weights]] that caused massive craters upon impact with the floor akin to what Rock Lee did in his battle with, Naruto
** John Smith, James Bond
** Minoru, described as that one scene from the Matrix but if all the bullets hit
** UsefulNotes/JackTheRipper, The Joker
** Cid, volume 6, Conan Edogwa, chibi version, his role
** martini shaken not stirred, James Bond,

* TheSociopath: Cid manages to tick all the checkboxes
** LackOfEmpathy, relishes in the reactions of his victims, hopelessness, fear and sheer terror on their faces, one step from having no regard for anyone, especially in the anime
** ItsAllAboutMe, personal fantasies and indulges
** {{Gaslighting}}, ConsummateLiar, [[BloodKnight violence]], every single one of his relationships is built on [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parataxic_distortion parataxic distortion]]
** treats most if not everyone as characters/stereotypes/plot devices/cliches/extras in a narrative and not actual people with feelings and lives mercilessly slaughters anyone who he considers criminals/bandits
** a character with a marked Lack of Empathy, a self-centered disposition, a disregard for social norms and ethics, a propensity for using charm, lies, manipulation or outright violence to get his way, a reckless and impulsive streak, and a heart black as pitch. They show no remorse and can describe gruesome events in a nonchalant manner that many find creepy. (It's quite scary how the official description fits so well with him minus the charms and the pitch-black heart, the first can be chalked up as unintentional and he has more of a dark-grey heart)
** puts up the airs that he cares, when in reality he couldn't be bother

* StealingFromThieves: quick buck, can't be bothered to toil away at a real job, thinking he's flat-broke[[note]][[/note]]
** Stylish Bandit Slayer, exploits all about this, racked up, true to his name
** lawless city, pickpockets, swipes all their wallet when they try to steal his, during a stroll downtown
** He even killed Dark Spider, a high-rank First Named Child whom he mistook for a "stylish thief", for his elusive [[BlackCloak Black Spider silk cloak]] even though Mitsugoshi later proved they can tailor garments for him of the same, higher quality material.

* SuperReflexes: change trajectory/combat moves mid-air, dodge a bullet, looking at it
* SuperSpeed: Cid never skips leg day which is shown in three known modes of speed
** '''Serious Dash''' allows him as he self-described to sprint at ''1,200 kilometers per hour'' with enough momentum to run over and kill a bear.
** a little boost of magic/more effort crosses into FlashStep and even {{Teleportation}} territory
** merging into the natural environment, completely disappears from one's sight along with his presence and detection, without making a sound, as fast as the raindrop would fall/faster than lightning
** His ability to disappear before his opponent's eyes isn't entirely due to speed, he's becoming one with his surroundings in a way that makes his opponents unable to distinguish him from nature (rain, thunder). This makes it appear like he's suddenly vanishing and appearing behind opponents... the anime portrays this ability as OffscreenTeleportation and Shadow straight up disappearing entirely from the frame
* TitleDrop: since he is the only one who would know what that is, first episode and previews
* TrainingFromHell: subjected himself, trained even harder, torture for five days straight is considered a light workout for him, karate, kendo, kickboxing, wrestling... bandit, delinquent hunting
* UnflinchingWalk: Elizabeth, calmly approaches her as she launches an endless barrage of high-velocity blood projectiles at him, none of which hit him despite being on a casual stroll, didn't change his speed only sidestep,
** Calmly walks towards an opponent while they launch a hail of projectiles at him, predicting where each of them would land
* VariantPowerCopying: studying opponents' techniques, InstantExpert, puts his own spin on their moves using what is available

** Jack The Ripper, Epsilon, expel magic waves from her body, erased
** Alpha and Zeta's, blood mist, slime mist
** Fenrir
* ZanyScheme: jumps from one roleplay idea to another, multiple personas

!!!Cid's Other Identities (-/1)
* WeaponBasedCharacterization:
** Minoru, katana
** Suzuki, [[ThePenIsMightier fountain pens]], studious, resourceful
** Jack the Ripper, throwing/playing cards, clown motif, why so serious, playful demeanor when killing his victims

!!!Stylish Bandit Slayer (-/2)
* CrowbarCombatant: a menace to [the underworld/criminal] society... on earth, also use as tonfas, beaten within an inch of their life
* HotBlooded: prototype, little acting experience, doesn't keep his emotions in check

!!!Mundane Mann (-/5)
* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: deliberately invoked, a swordfighter's living worst nightmare
* DarkHorseVictory: All his fights/matches end before they could begin, barring Annerose, bringing Iris down to her knees....cultivating, a 9-to-1 chance
* {{Gonk}}: gaunt, sunken cheekbones, CreepyShadowedUndereyes, disheveled hair, ghastly-pale complexion, which makes him all the more corpse-like even before his death, ZombieGait
* LeanAndMean: ...His gaunt face, gangling, lanky body hunched at a 45-degree angle, elongated his limbs, dislocated
* MysteriousStranger: Becomes the talk of the tournament, nobody, no previous records of competing, zero background history, disinherited, reported missing, entire existence is an enigma, Perv assuming he was a resident of Lawless City

!!!John Smith (-/6)
* AdaptationalBadass: The anime had him incorporate martial arts into his fighting style rather than just [[CripplingOverspecialization solely relying]] on his wires and not having any form of close combat. As such, he didn't pull out his sword
** does not break/isn't as obvious breaking character with Alpha or Gettan, their battles were significantly shorter
** didn't know which bill was the counterfeit/fake, come to her own conclusion, foolish
* AdaptationalDumbass: simply printing money, photocopier, didn't realise Yukime's implications until later, it was Yukime who came to the conclusion
* AdaptationalVillainy: meticulous ColdBloodedTorture, doesn't say the line "You've grown stronger" to Alpha, making it all the more cruel
* BlowYouAway: sword, martial arts, LogicalWeakness
->'''John Smith:''' Lightweight!
* EvilLaugh: Upon finding out all the precious funds were depleted... presumably stolen by Gettan
* GratuitousEnglish: "Super Elito Agent"
* OneDialogueTwoConversations: His entire battle with Gettan, neither side realise the truth and never will

!!!Minoru (-/5)
* AmnesiacsAreInnocent: nobody would suspect the [...] to be The Black Knight, slayer of magical beasts and successor to the First Knight
* AWolfInSheepsClothing: The Black Knight
* IdenticalStranger: Akane certainly thinks so, wear back [[ThrowbackThreads old school uniform]], triggered an intense emotional reaction, as if she was seeing a ghost, Cid mistakes her tears for barely-suppressed laughter at him
* NaiveNewcomer: Alongside his "mute sister" Natsume (Beta) found unconscious, amnesiac, newest refugee in the Sanctuary
* NervousWreck: scared, constantly jittery, feverishly shivering like a newborn pup, DramaticStutter

!!!Suzuki Hope (-/11)
* AwesomeByAnalysis: smartest guy in the room, deduces, the most minuscule detail/observation, noting the female classmate saying "Thank You" instead of being confused
* DissonantSerenity: yawned boredly, miffed, waking up from his nap, had dislocated his arms and legs to escape the chains
* ExplosiveLeash: White Mist, mana collar bombs, ReadingsAreOffTheScale, 9999+, set it to a reasonable and unsuspicious 600
* FlechetteStorm: gold fountain pens, "Golden Storm"...creating more pens using his slime
* GeniusBruiser: the brains of the operation
* GoodIsNotNice: He can't stand injustice but punishes those who do so in the most brutal way possible..., the lowest body count of the, only killed Issac, lets off Eliza with a stern warning and gets overpowered by Fenrir so Shadow can take over
* InsufferableGenius: comes off at this, pisses off Issac and Eliza, isn't afraid to be assertive, confrontational regardless of status, wealth or title
* NervesOfSteel: the change in behaviour, isn't intimidated by Eliza, Issac and Fenrir
** He shouldn't have been the kind of person who could act boldly in front of Princess Alexia or stand calmly in actual combat, NotHimself
* TheSmartGuy: Cid takes the opportunity to flex his smarts, cunning, guts, assertive... most outwardly intelligent of the personas, including Cid himself,

!!!Jack the Ripper (-/27)
* BadassFingersnap: a flick of his fingers, uses the motion to generate RazorWind
* BareFistedMonk: If he isn't using [[DeathDealer playing cards]]
* BeyondTheImpossible: 10% magic potency to mithril, OneHitKill, escape the magically-enhanced forcefield powered by an ancient artifact, slaughter armies, this is Cid we are talking about
* BloodKnight: mass-murder, looks like pent-up bloodlust
* CardCarryingVillain: literally, think it's crazy announcing to the world about killing the Thirteen Night Swords and getting away with it scott-free
* ColdHam: subtler example than what [[LargeHam Cid]] brings to the table
-->'''Jack:''' ...Huh.
* CouldntFindAPen: in his victims' blood
* CurbStompBattle: To call them battles is laughable as a more accurate description would be a one-sided slaughter fest. Best exemplified when
* DarkHorseVictory:
* TheDreaded: presents them the spade card
* DrivenByEnvy: The main reason why he was interested in going after the Night Swords was due to the fact
* GivingSomeoneThePointerFinger:
* HopeCrusher: rapid succession
** Goethe Moono, called upon his bodyguards, none of them showed up because Jack killed them all before stepping into his office
** Oyano Bow
* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: How Jack ultimately bites it in a metaphorical sense when Millia's blood tentacles skewered him thousands of times but this was deliberate, emerges Shadow/enters the scene once more
* InvincibleVillain: no limitations or restrictions other than his unconventional way of fighting
* JustToyingWithThem:
** For the third night, Jack makes his introduction by hiding under the covers of Cid's bed as if he was woken up from his nap, pretends to be surprised at Sword Demon for dodging his attack and sizes him up before [[YouAreAlreadyDead inertia kicks in]],
** get in a workout, before escaping the impenetrable barrier that Millia struggles to break free from, slowly showing them the playing cards one by one, making it very clear that he could kill them anytime he wanted, whenever he wanted and they could do utterly nothing to stop him.
* MagicalClown: imbules mana into his attacks
* MonsterClown: Jack the Ripper ... stepped up his cosplaying game and increased his costume budget, PracticallyJoker, dressed to the nines in the most elaborate and colourful clown suit
* MookHorrorShow: offscreen, not a pretty sight when it's onscreen, graphic, cultivating in Jack laying waste to the hundred swordsman army
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness:
* OneHitKill:
* OneManArmy: mass-murderer, cultivated in taking on a hundred magic swordsmen at once and unanimously winning... with the losers painting the entire arena in blood
* OffscreenTeleportation: empty audience seat without anyone noticing
* OffWithHisHead: In the
* PerpetualSmiler: harlequin mask, twisted grin
* SilentAntagonist: main antagonist
* ShadowedFaceGlowingEyes: inhumane look, monster that he is, SlasherSmile
* TheUnsmile: his mask, the creepiest, most twisted grin on his face

!!!Seven Shades
* AdvertisedExtra: Zeta and Eta, trailers, source materials, few cameos
* CleavageWindow: Alpha, Beta, Gamma
* DominoMask:
* InTheHood: in the anime
* LovingAShadow: Puns and literal metaphors aside,
* TeenGenius: civilian identities, self-made women, need to prove themselves and excel in their respective fields

!!!Alpha
* SuperSmoke: Blood Mist

!!!Beta
* BespectacledCutie: She puts on a pair of glasses in her Natsume Kafka guise and whenever she writes not only because they are prescription but also to accentuate her attractiveness. She wore them more often when she was younger...
* IHaveBoobsYouMustObey: Nelson, information
* SuperSmoke:
* YouNoTakeCandle: broken Japanese, learn the language in only a few days

!!!Gamma
* ConfusionFu: Gamma's fighting style is the most unpredictable as isn't so much fighting as it is
** [wind-mill/falling with style]
* IronButtMonkey:

!!!Delta
* CatSmile: Her default... manga
* StrangeMindsThinkAlike: the most like Cid, treats her like an AnnoyingYoungerSibling
* SuperDeformed: The manga, chibi black dog

!!!Epsilon
* IHaveBoobsYouMustObey: hoping to achieve with Cid
* SwordBeam: Magic in this world needs to be channeled through a medium otherwise it will become uncontrollable and eventually scatter once separated from your body, a feat thought to be impossible, but Epsilon proved with ease, rendering Mordred's invisible sword artifact completely obsolete
* MundaneUtility: slime, breast implants

!!!Iris Midgar
* AdaptationalBadass: Zigzagged. Her fight with Shadow alongside Beatrix was extended, more or less, as if he's telling her to stop embarrassing herself
* ATasteOfDefeat: Shadow gives Iris her very first loss at the Bushin Festival....defeated in a matter of seconds in the tournament's audience, adored her
** Shortly after he [[CurbStompBattle defeats Iris Midgar]] and further tarnishes both her and her Knight's reputation in a [[KickTheDog needlessly]] [[MindRape cruel]] manner
* HeroicBSOD: GracefulLoser she is not,
* NormalFishInATinyPond: inadequate, lacking power and strength
* WideEyesAndShrunkenIrises: finally broken, disillusioned that she is not the WorldsStrongestWoman

!!Sherry
* AdaptationalDumbass: inverted, out in the open
* LikesClarkKentHatesSuperman: She gains a crush on Cid after mistaking ... gone insane from planning her revenge on Shadow, not knowing the boy she loves and the fiend who killed her step-father are the same
* PutOnTheBus: Shortly after her debut, Sherry ....take her mind off the death of her stepfather at the hands of Shadow
* StepfordSmiler: the death of her beloved stepfather, tries her hardest to pull/keep it together, the anime showcases a range of emotions over her stepfather's death, first sadness then anger before curling her mouth into a small yet strained smile with eyes welling up with tears...to reassure Cid she would be fine

!!!Christina
* AllGirlsWantBadBoys: Suzuki, then Shadow

!!!Isaac
* TheAce: high magic reserves, the top students for Cid to cheat off of
* ImpromptuTracheotomy: fountain pen
* RightForTheWrongReasons:

!!!Goldoh
%%so extra that he carries his sword around on a dolly
* BishieSparkle: emitting them, hair flip
* LogicalWeakness: StatOVision, so of course it's highly ineffective on someone who can hide their magic signal

!!!White Demon
* GigglingVillain: In the light novel, White Demon manically giggles at his would-be prey
* LightIsNotGood: known as the [[RedBaron White Demon]], tattered white cloak, initially all-white armour that gets constantly stained red by the blood of the innocent
* WhiteShirtOfDeath:

!!!Crimson
* KarmicDeath: Crimson's death comes in three-fold
** He not only sees his thousand-year-old plan never come to fruition due to dying right before Elizabeth was about to resurrect, the army of bloodthirsty vampires and ghouls he cultivated and the Crimson Tower gets obliterated by
*** if it were even possible, meaning everything he had done in preparation for the Red Moon [[AllForNothing amounted to nothing]]
*** His thousand years of planning, and human sacrifices for the next Red Moon comes entirely undone in a single night thanks to Shadow's intervention.
*** Moreover, he's killed right before Elizabeth's resurrection and subsequent defeat when Shadow's healing nuke obliterates the Crimson Tower and his army and cures her vampirism.

!!!Gettan
* BlindWeaponmaster: naginata, heightened his senses
* SuperSenses: John Smith isn't impressed as he bluntly states "[[ArmorPiercingQuestion Then why aren't you not getting any closer?]]", overwhelming him

!!!Kouadoi
* OvershadowedByAwesome: speed, compared to Shadow, might as well be a snail
* SuperSpeed: gust of wind, tornado
* WouldHitAGirl: Victoria

!!!Fenrir
* DevouredByTheHorde: Shadow copied, perfected and improved his finishing move, black swords turned into nine dragons, ripped him limb from limb
** The first bit off his right arm, and the second bit off his left. The third bit down on his right leg, and the fourth bit his left. The fifth and sixth cut his torso in half, the seventh pierced his chest, and the eighth severed
his head. And then, the ninth one shoves the head into its mouth. And then, the ninth dragon’s jaws closed. Fenrir's head shatters with a thud.
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: Shadow copied his finishing move, turn it against him
* HonorableWarriorsDeath: changed his lifegoal, what he settled with, however Shadow's ArmourPiercingResponse prevented
* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice:
* KarmicDeath:
** he's weak in the likes of him and would never reach let alone surpass his level in any lifetime because he brought this upon himself by giving up and fighting those weaker or on par with him to boost his ego. As a ruthless, untouchable warrior who prides himself on doing whatever it takes to reach the pinnacle of power,
** Fenrir now dies in regret to someone who doesn't consider him a WorthyOpponent like he does but instead a weak fool who gave up when the going gets tough, without giving him the satisfaction of an HonorableWarriorsDeath
** deluded himself into believing there is a set goal for true strength, gave up when he could never reach it, died in regret, small-minded
* OffWithHisHead:
* ShadowArchetype: Fittingly to Shadow, now dies before even trying, grown disillusioned ...took the easy way out, gave up before the hurdle and never expanded his mindset, never about setting a goal but surpassing it and your limitations
* TheresNoKillLikeOverkill: ripped him limb from limb, slice through his torso, beheaded, remaining one bitten down on his head, he's barely holding on in spite all that enough to say his final words

* {{Foil}}: (-/10)

*** Epsilon - MundaneUtility, personal gain, envy, use their talents for ridiculous means/gains, easily jealous of what others naturally have that they don't or work incredibly hard for, her reason is more ridiculous

* UnknownRival: Shadow has made mortal enemies left and right but it's always one-sided on their end due to his oblivious, tunnel-vision self being completely unaware that he has any at all:
** The Cult of Diablos, doesn't even know they ''exist'' in the first place
** Sherry Barnett
** After her [[CurbStompBattle humiliating defeat]], Iris has sworn, to devote all her time training even harder, However, Shadow only humors her and doesn't take her seriously at all during their battle as he promptly forgets her once that arc ends and never mentioning her again for the rest of the series

* AttackAttackAttack: Basically what her swordplay amounts to, rapidly and violently jabbing/slashing the air hoping it would eventually hit her target
* ConfusionFu: most unpredictable, isn't so much fighting as it is [wind-mill/falling with style]

* LethalJokeCharacter: Gamma may have a severe skill issue and everything else when it comes to fighting but... still packs a punch
* MeaningfulName: Her civilian identity "Luna" translates to "Moon" in Spanish ...which can be seen properly during nighttime where Shadow Garden operates in the shadows/darkness...

* SwordBeam: Magic in this world needs to be channeled through a medium otherwise it will become uncontrollable and eventually scatter once separated from your body, a feat thought to be impossible, but Epsilon proved with ease, making Mordred's invisible sword obsolete

!!!Yukime
* MeaningfulName: Yukime means "snow" in Japanese which is white and pure, reflecting her inner goodness and being the boss of the White Tower. This was also how Cid misinterpreted Gettan's DyingWish of protecting Yukime to him supposedly hiding Cid's money in the snow patch next to her.

* DebutQueue: This episode introduces the next batch of six contestants who had come from a universe where humans and sentient objects coexist but the latter race has to hide from the former so as to not freak them out

So much so that Matt prematurely left the "Hands on Hooker" game, rigged to win in his favour, since the first person out has to [[{{Unishment}} move into the broom closet]]. Production later upgraded Matt's room to the top floor suite to keep a better eye on him and separate him from the other actors.
* PrettyFlyForAWhiteGuy: For the talent show, Matt chooses to beatbox and dance, wearing shiny hammer pants and a beanie to commit to the bit, and was pretty good at it.
* ThousandYardStare: Matt gives this fish-eyed look as a neutral expression or whenever he's surprised which is often considering the scripted antics on the show. Kip even copies this while impersonating him and needless to say, it's spot-on.

* {{Bookends}}: Tim's first and last words on the show were his [[CharacterCatchphrase catchphrase]] "[[Film/BillyMadison Jackpot]]".
* CharacterCatchphrase: He has a habit of saying Film/BillyMadison's catchphrase "Jackpot" with the same inflection due to being a huge Creator/AdamSandler fan. It's even his [[{{Bookends}} first and last lines]] in the show.
* FamilyFriendlyStripper: During his surprise Birthday party, Tim good-naturally performs an impromptu lap dance (Fully-clothed, mind you) to [[AmbiguouslyGay Gerald]] as a dare. Unfortunately for Tim, this came to bite him in next episode when the host played back the footage in front of Piper's [[BoyFriendBlockingDad strict father]] as a challenge punishment.
* FreudianTrio: Of the season 2 Schmos, Tim is the boisterous, easy-going Id to Amanda's Ego and Ingrid's Superego.
* HasAType: Tim revealed in an [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SxGa6kb_hNg interview]] that before officially competing in "Last Chance for Love", he was asked about his dream girl which he described as "olive-skinned, brown-haired, dark-eyes and shorter than him" (Basically his then-girlfriend-now-wife). The show deliberately inverted the trope by casting the fair-skinned, blonde, blue-eyed and statuesque Valerie Azlynn as Piper so Tim would be less inclined to fall in love with the Bachelorette seriously although that did not stop him from finding her a "smoke show".
* HypocriticalHumour: He was upset at the girls for blowing the normally-suave TJ's chances with Piper thanks to their wacky suggestions yet openly laughs and even contributes to the equally-wacky suggestions for Cammy's date with Austin since she's well, [[TheDitz Cammy]].
* JerkassToOne: Tim is generally an easy-going, all-around fun guy but it's a well-known fact that [[StalkerWithACrush Bryce]] is his least favourite person on the show, badmouthing him during his interviews, calling him "crazy/psycho-stalker" more than once and was the most displeased upon Bryce's return. When Derrick implies that Bryce killed Montecore the Falcon for eating Everett the Frog, Tim immediately becomes enraged and outright accusing him of what everyone is thinking as well as expressing his desire to punch him after unexpectedly showing up at the wedding finale uninvited.
* {{Keet}}: Is the most excited and openly expressive of the second season Schmos.
* LastSecondWordSwap: His reaction in the finale upon everyone revealing themselves as actors and the show being fake the entire time:
-->'''Tim:''' [Absolutely dumbfounded] You [[CurseCutShort f--]] [Looks at Amanda equally as dumbfounded] "[[CharacterCatchphrase Jackpot]]".
-->[Cue the production crew bursting out laughing behind-the-scenes]
* OhCrap: As his punishment for failing to complete the challenge, Derek exposed the clip of his [[FamilyFriendlyStripper drunken lap dance]] to Gerald from the previous episode right in front of Piper's parents, especially her BoyFriendBlockingDad, leaving Tim with this reaction as he flusteredly trying to explain himself.
-->'''Tim:''' [Interview] As soon as the tape was shown, I had to get damage control and Mr. Davidson didn't find that too amusing. I explain it to him but uh, I don't think he's pleased...

* AbortedArc: Ingrid was initially supposed to have a back-and-forth rivalry with Ambrosia and keep Cammy's big secret but her growing suspicions of the show halt all those plans. In fear of her breaking the illusion in front of the more gullible Tim, the producers reveal the truth to Ingrid and offer her to join the actors. This meant Ingrid's place was taken up by [[ReplacementGoldfish replacement Jane Schmo]] Amanda, [[DemotedToExtra substantially reducing the former's screentime]], as well as her existing story arcs being rewritten with Ambrosia eliminated and Ingrid spilling the pork and beans to Tim and Amanda to tie up loose ends.
* ConstantlyCurious: Ingrid is a very inquisitive person by nature and therefore a lot harder to manipulate. During the first three episodes, the show had several close calls from her breaking the illusion such as comparing the show to the ''Film/TheTrumanShow'' when everyone somehow managed to perfectly recite their lines again for the elimination ceremony's reshoot, becoming suspicious of Cammy stopping midway through her embarrassing story while the cameraman is replacing film and even subtler details like Ernie knowing the exact number of orphans to adopt for everyone as presents after the surprise mass elimination.
* FreudianTrio: Out of the season 2 Schmos, Ingrid is the intuitive, GenreSavvy Superego to Tim's Id and Amanda's Ego.
* FunWithSubtitles: Normally during interviews with the Schmoes, the chyron would have the subtitle "Thinks it's all real" under their name but as Ingrid expresses her doubts about the show's realness, her subtitle becomes a meter of suspended belief to reflect the change.[[labelnote:As Listed]]"Thinks It's All Real?", "Kind of Thinks It's All Real", "Thinks 75% of It's Real," "Thinks Some of It's Real", "Thinks Less and Less of It's Real," "Thinks 50% of It's Real", "Thinks Less Than Half It's Real," "Thinks Some Small Portion of It's Real," "Thinks 25% of It's Real", "Thinks Very Little of It's Real" and finally, "[[ThisIsGonnaSuck We're Screwed.]]"[[/labelnote]]
* OddNameOut: Ingrid is the only Schmo to have a label with her name ("The Schmo Turned Actress") like the actors since she joined in on the act upon figuring out the truth.
* PairTheSpares: In-story, Ingrid begins dating TJ after they both were eliminated as semi-finalists with them jokingly hugging after Tim and Amanda left.

* TheSmartGirl: Ingrid is the only Schmo who was so close to figuring out the ruse on her own that the producers had to bring her on board so she wouldn't spoil it for Tim. On the actors' side, she wasn't given many notes
** A knack at improv, given she wasn't given many notes and had to make up her own character, found a good workaround for saying her dirty word in three sentences incredibly quickly compared to Tim who immensely struggled with his and failed to do so in the end.

* FreudianTrio: Out of the season 2 Schmos, Amanda is the wide-eyed yet down-to-earth Ego to Ingrid's Superego and Tim's Id.
* FunWithSubtitles: Her first subtitle for the interviews humorously reads "Thank God she thinks it's all real" like the chyron was expressing relief Amanda is more naive and gullible than Ingrid.

* DramaticIrony:

* NaiveNewcomer: She was introduced halfway into the show in episode 4, because of Ingrid's suspicions made ...had to find a replacement

The Schmo of the third season aka "The Full Bounty"

* AnimalMotif: He was given a llama as his [[BondCreatures spirit animal]] and while this was intended to be a funny choice on the producers' part, it does suit Chase's character as the animal represents adaptability, perseverance, responsibility and endurance. All traits describe his determination and strength in becoming a bounty hunter and how he's carrying the show as the main Schmo.
* SeductionProofMarriage: Unlike the other Schmos, Chase is HappilyMarried to his wife Taylor as shown in his audition tape so he isn't interested in romance on the show. This helped him remain unfazed and NotDistractedByTheSexy when the female suspect he was holding at gunpoint offered him sex and also in front of a topless prostitute doing jumping jacks during the Heart Rate challenge, the latter of which had Randy accused him of being UsefulNotes/{{Asexual}}.
* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: Chase listed snakes as his PrimalFear in the pre-interview which the producers then incorporated into a couple of challenges such as the giant python while hooked up to a heart rate monitor and retrieving tasers in a snake tank which he lampshades as to why a bounty hunter would ever be in such an oddly-specific situation.

* HappilyMarried: To his wife Taylor ...extremely happy to receive a phone call from his wife for his birthday as all electronics were prohibited

* RecognitionFailure: Despite production taking extra effort to cast Creator/LorenzoLamas as the celebrity contestant and [[ImYourBiggestFan Chico]] hyping him up since he [[ActorAllusion played a bounty hunter before]], Chase has absolutely no idea who this guy is and couldn't care less since he's more annoyed by his [[AdamWesting exaggerated personality]] and constant ProductPlacement, treating him no different than any other contestant.

The Schmo of the reboot ..."The Goat"

* BlueIsHeroic: The tracksuit

* BritishStuffiness: Ralph puts on a British accent to sound more posh but also pretentious as Derek Newcastle who makes it no secret that he's fed up with the contestants, especially Ernie.
* CordonBleughChef: To celebrate Amanda's debut, the host caters a special buffet primarily consisting of traditional British cuisine that's also stereotypically bland, one of which included crumpets which he insisted on going with his mother's homemade marmite[[note]]Normally, it's served with clotted cream and jam but he went with the Australian route[[/note]] that Tim likens to "Meat soaked in urine". Unsurprisingly, the cast all agreed to order pizza instead much to Derek's displeasure when he found out.

->'''Played By:''' Melissa Yvonne Lewis
->'''Placement:''' 4th

* GirlOnGirlIsHot: To get new television sets and [[ItMakesSenseFromContext prevent Matt from eating dog shit]], Ashleigh and Molly had to passionately kiss on the lips in agreement with a "producer" who wants to invoke the trope. At least it was better than the alternate idea of taking their tops off (Executive meddling/Spike TV at its finest).

->'''Played By:''' Brian Keith Etheridge
->'''Placement:''' 3rd
----
* BestFriend: Brian was tailored to be Matt's closest confidant by having a kind, goofy personality, similar builds and nerdy interests and even being labeled as "The Buddy". But while they are on good terms, Matt tends to be frustrated sometimes and doesn't really hang out with Brian that much, preferring the company of Dr. Pat and Earl, until the two reach the final four with Ashleigh and Hutch.
* OddNameOut: He's the only contestant actor across three seasons to use their actual name as their stage name (Barring Creator/LorenzoLamas).
----

->'''Played By:''' Lance Krall
->'''Placement:''' 5th/6th
----
* AlliterativeName: Kip's "real" name and label is '''C'''arlos '''C'''alderas as "The '''G'''ay '''G'''uy".
* InterchangeableAsianCultures: Why they cast an Asian-American man to pretend to be a European is beyond anyone's guess other than the producers deliberately invoking the trope.
* TwoferTokenMinority: Kip is both the only [[CampGay gay]] and non-American (Cuban) on the "Lap of Luxury". However, this gets subverted twice because not only Lance Krall, Kip's actor, is straight but isn't of Cuban descendant since he's actually [[InterchangeableAsianCultures half-Vietnamese]] from Dallas, Texas doing an accent.
----

->'''Played By:''' Creator/KristenWiig
->'''Placement:''' 7th
----
* WhatDoesSheSeeInHim: The producers quickly concorted a plotline where Dr. Pat slept with The Hutch to distract Matt distraught from Earl's untimely elimination. However, this backfired as it made Matt feel even worse given he was astounded and clearly disappointed by her decision, stating she could do better than Hutch. Not only that, this one-night stand significantly influences Dr. Pat in the finale where she becomes the [[DecidedByOneVote deciding vote]] and seals Hutch's victory.
----
* AwfulWeddedLife:

* NonGameplayElimination:

* AbortedArc: Ambrosia was supposed to stir up trouble in the manor as "The Bitch" and have an ongoing rivalry with Ingrid starting episode 3. However, the Schmo was already catching on and dangerously close to finding out the truth so the producers have no choice but to eliminate Ambrosia in the same episode and bring Ingrid to their side.
* {{Foil}}: To Ashleigh as they are both seemingly nice people before they show their [[BitchInSheepsClothing true colours]] and live up to their title as "The [Rich] Bitch". However, while Ashleigh lasted all the way to the penultimate episode, Ambrosia prematurely lasted three episodes as Ingrid, her intended rival, figured out the ruse a lot sooner than expected.
* SassyBlackWoman: The only woman of colour in "Lap of Luxury" who brings a lot of drama to the table with her spicy yet bitchy attitude, badmouthing and picking fights with the other girls for no reason.

->'''Played By:''' Jonathan Torrens
->'''Placement:''' 4th/5th

* PronouncingMyNameForYou: Gerald is pronounced with a hard "G" instead of a soft "J". The first time it was prominently brought up was when Tim forgot the pronunciation during his interview and the production crew had to correct it for him.
----

->'''Played By:''' Creator/Natasha leggero
->'''Placement:''' 11th (Last)

* DramaticIrony: While the producers racked their heads preventing [[GenreSavvy Ingrid]] from finding out the ruse in the early episodes, they should be glad they didn't cast Amanda first since she instantly recognized Rita as a well-known comedian from the open mic nights she frequented and therefore could blow the entire show's cover at the premiere. However, since Rita got eliminated in the first episode and Amanda debuted long after, the two never formally met until the finale's wedding where Amanda had other things on her mind, namely Austin's final decision.
* FlatCharacter: Rita is the least developed character of the season 2 cast with the sole gimmick of being an alcoholic party girl. This is invoked as she was supposed to be the first eliminated from "Last Chance for Love" for this one-dimensional trait.

->'''Played By:''' Creator/JonHuertas

* PairTheSpares: In-story, TJ begins dating Ingrid after they both were eliminated as semi-finalists with them jokingly hugging after Tim and Amanda left.

->'''Played By:''' Robert Belushi
->'''Placement:''' 3rd

* BestFriend: Like his predecessor, Allen is specifically cast to be Chase's closest ally with similar builds and interests but most importantly being the [[OnlySaneMan sanest cast member]] beside him. Allen's spirit animal being a [[CanineCompanion golden retriever]] further emphasises this fact as he's very easy to talk to and trustworthy.
* OneSteveLimit: Averted. Allen shares the same label as Brian from the first season.
----

* BreakTheCutie:

* GettingMyOwnRoomPlot: An early subplot of his in the first episode is wanting his own room since he hates sharing a bed with Dr. Pat and Ernie, {{Unishment}}, left the hands on the hooker game prematurely so he can have his own room despite it being the size of a broom closet

As bad as this is, it's made worse by the fact that there are a number of serious problems being ignored by others that could have done something about it themselves, but only Naofumi himself bothers to do something about, from the individual disasters caused by each of the heroes to the assassination attempt on Melty. This ''really'' doesn't adhere him to the country he's was summoned to protect, and it just makes his job even harder since his own "allies" are the ones who keep getting in the way until the Queen makes it clear to the public who the true troublemakers in her country is.
