* BrainwashedAndCrazy: [[spoiler: Near the end, all four Legion members are brainwashed by the Black Root's virus and forced to fight you again, complete with some OminousVisualGlitch.

* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Legion Lethar seems like a ruthless trainer and a BloodKnight at first, but he doesn't have too much difficulty in trusting in you after you stopped the bad guys in Magma, and he is shown to have quite a soft side as well. [[spoiler: Part of the reason why he agrees to help you find Moonborn, the next Legion member, is because he is grateful towards her for allowing him to grow up healthily, and he wants the player to help repay this kindness.]]
* LaughingMad: [[spoiler: Upon the player refuses to work for Leah, she unmaskes herself, and begins to laugh maniacally.]]

* PlayableEpilogue: The restored Growtown serves as this, where you can talk to all the people you've helped that will thank you for saving Pixekai. [[spoiler: Until an update makes it the way to TheVeryDefinitiveFinalDungeon]].

* TheReveal: At the end of [[spoiler:Beyond Growtown]], a man called Lavinne instantly berates you for defeating Vaithe as he wants to personally get his revenge on it. [[spoiler: Then he reveals that Malk is also responsible for causing damage to Pixekai, and you soon learn that it's already too late to stop him.]]

* TrueFinalBoss: [[spoiler: Doing some quests will unlock a new area called Beyond Growtown which is the true final area of the game. B003, who is an improved version of the destroyed B002, serves as this at the end of it.]]
* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: The people who created Pixekai in hope of creating a place to escape reality. [[spoiler: One of their [=NPCs=] would not only destroy it in the end, but also threaten humanity in general, meaning that these people personally created a demon.]]
* TheVeryDefinitelyFinalDungeon: [[spoiler: Beyond Growtown]]

** [[spoiler: Leah]] initially appears to be a complete psychopath who would step down into any low [[spoiler: to reach the reality.]] [[spoiler: Turns out that she also wants her son to go to the real world and she genuinely loves her, and her crazy part is really because she herself is affected by the energy.]]
** Zeth, [[spoiler: Leah's son]] is a downplayed example. He is pretty rude when you first meet him but he softens over time.

* LaughingMad: [[spoiler: Upon the player refuses to work for her, she unmaskes herself, and begins to laugh maniacally.]]

* NaturalElements: The four types of elements in the game (besides Normal) are Water, Fire, Wind and Mineral, although Mineral is just a reskin of Fire being weak to Water and Strong to Wind.

* TooDumbToLive: Right before Navia, when near a cave and a staircase, a strange voice asks the protagonist to go upstairs. You don't have to be too experienced in real life to know that a shady voice asking a child to come over them shouldn't be trusted, but you can only watch as your protagonist obeys it and falls into the trap of Super Minion Elite Forces. Thankfully, the rangers are pretty incompetent with the yellow ranger even forgetting his lines, and they retreat after the yellow ranger is defeated.
