* BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: Marty bonds with Sally because she constantly brought lucky clovers to his comatose body, despite them being complete strangers to each other. Due to this, he's willing to fight a zombie and cultist army in order to prevent her from being used as Gla'aki's vessel.



* TheDragon: The Grandmistress is the leader of the zombie cult and is loyal to Gla'aki. [[spoiler:When Marty and Brucie free Sally from her clutches, the Grandmistress offers her own body to act as Gla'aki's vessel.]]
* GetAHoldOfYourselfMan: Marty gets discouraged over Sally's compact breaking due to his dependency on the lucky object, resulting in him believing he can't fulfill his self-appointed role as Sally's hero. Brucie bluntly tells him that there's no point in worrying over having the ideal heroic origin story and to just do what he thinks is right in this situation. This reinvigorates Marty to continue fighting zombies to save Sally.
* GoodCounterpart: Sally ends up being the DamselInDistress of this game like Lucy was in ''Case 01''. Unlike Lucy, who is [[BitchInSheepsClothing secretly a nasty bully]] and can only show empathy towards her close friends, Sally is a genuine NiceGirl who takes care of patients she doesn't even know.
* HeroicBSOD: After the second boss, Marty is defeated by the Grandmistress and Gla'aki again. The Grandmistress then breaks Sally's compact right in front of Marty, breaking his confidence now that he no longer has Sally's luck on his side. Brucie tells him to stop worrying about his abilities or backstory as a hero and just act according to his desires.
* HonorBeforeReason: Lucy hires Brucie to kill the Grandmistress in order to avenge Sapphire, who was killed by the Grandmistress's zombies. [[spoiler:Brucie technically fails to kill the Grandmistress because the latter sacrificed her own life to revive Gla'aki, so he offers Lucy a discount again, despite Lucy being willing to pay him more. Jade notes that Brucie's principles of client satisfaction is the reason why the exorcist duo is poor.]]



* KnightTemplar: The Grandmistress believes humanity would be happier and more peaceful as undead, and therefore feels justified in placing the world under the thrall of Gla'aki.



* NamesToTrustImmediately: Sally's real name is Sarah Sweet. Despite the series' tendency to have morally dubious main characters, Sally has no hidden darkness and is genuinely supportive of Marty.



* ThrowTheDogABone: Marty is the titular loser of ''VideoGame/LoserReborn'', having lost his family and only friend to a car accident. In this game, he befriends Sally and manages to save the world from Gla'aki's cult. Subverted by the stinger, which shows that he's still not in the clear due to [[spoiler:getting involved in another paranormal case.]]
* TookALevelInBadass: Double subverted. Marty lacks the power he had from ''VideoGame/LoserReborn'' and is just an ordinary human now, but he's also more willing to confront reality thanks to his best friend's encouragement, allowing him to fight the undead with mundane weaponry.
* TookALevelInKindness: In ''VideoGame/LoserReborn'', Marty was willing to use headpatting to effectively brainwash women into joining his party. In this game, he treats Sally as a genuine friend rather than an object. It helps that he's going through a [[TheApocalypseBringsOutTheBestInPeople zombie apocalypse]] rather than a wish-fulfillment reincarnation plot this time.
* VillainousLegacy: [[spoiler:Nya, the recently deceased BigBad of ''VideoGame/LoserReborn'', had a hand in summoning Gla'aki to the real world. This makes them one of the main causes of the zombie apocalypse, though it's unknown how exactly they're connected to Gla'aki's cult.]]

Added DiffLines:

* ShoutOut: Bruce, when asked if he is fighting evil spirits for someone else:
-->Uh, yeah... You think I became a superhero or something because of some dark past? "Bruce Lyne, the tragic boy who [[ComicBook/{{Batman}} witnessed an evil spirit killing his parents in a dark alley when he was a kid]]." Hmph. Exorcists aren't selfless like those comic book heroes who want to fight crime and change the world. We're shallow by nature, just working to keep ourselves fed.
