* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: The theme of "The Eyes of the Totem" and "The Dream Stone", with both episode's wishes ending in twisted manners for the wishers.
* BreatherEpisode: The series has a pattern of showing heartwarming episodes after its more tragic or nightmarish ones. The lighthearted "Unitoroda's Repayment" follows "Kiara"'s DownerEnding; a remake of the 1966 original's "The Devil Child" is followed by the hope-filled, monster-free story of "The Shining Ship"; etc.
* BroadStrokes: It's a little bit vague whether the series actually does take place in the same universe as the original ''Series/UltraQ'' or not. The first episode references an episode of the 1966 original, which also plays a role in the plot, but when the Gara Q reappear, everyone seems to have forgotten about the original Garamon incident and treat the Gara Q's first appearance as the first of its kind.
