8 | * AmateurSleuth: The only detectives in the game are Misora and Mako, so everyone else is forced to act as one. |
9 | * ColorMotif: Nearly everything in the castle (and on a meta level, the information pages) is themed with an unpleasant shade of green. |
10 | * TheCorruption: Why the Warriors were kidnapped in the first place. [[spoiler: Moreover, The Sage himself was influenced by the corruption for the duration of the game. Once it's cleansed, he's perfectly personable.]] |
11 | * DiscOneFinalBoss: [[spoiler:The Sage is the main antagonist for the majority of the game, but at the final trial, he's disposed of pretty quickly.]] |
12 | * DoesNotLikeGuns: Having come from the end of Minagoroshi-hen, [[VisualNovel/HigurashiWhenTheyCry Hanyuu]] [[spoiler:just witnessed all of her friends getting shot to death]], so she doesn't take [[spoiler: Mahiro]] waving his gun around very well. |

14 | * EndingMemorialService: Each trial is followed by an "afterparty," of the survivors catching their breath. |

16 | * ExactWords: "The World" is listed as one of his favorite things on The Teishu's profile. Turns out that's the name of a terrarium he owns. |
17 | * HopeSpot: [[spoiler:[[VisualNovel/HigurashiWhenTheyCry Rika Furude]]]] escapes from her killer and makes it to [[spoiler:Hanyuu's]] room - but dies right outside the door as the walls are soundproof and so her cries for help are in vain. |
18 | * LethalChef: [[VisualNovel/{{Hakuouki}} Senhime]]'s cooking is pretty terrible. [[spoiler:Taken literally when she kills Hei with a poisoned cake.]] |
19 | * MacGuffin: The [[spoiler:titular [[Manga/DragonBall dragon balls]]]] turn out to be the key to cleansing the corruption and bringing back the dead. |
20 | * TheMole: [[spoiler:[[Anime/DanganRonpa3 Koichi Kizakura]]]] is the mole for the Sage, though he only cooperates because [[spoiler: Kyouko Kirigiri]], his best friend's daughter, is being threatened. |

23 | * NotJustATournament: The Sage explains that everyone has been brought to the castle to weed out the nine most worthy Warriors. [[spoiler:When nine are left, he reveals he never intended for them to survive past cleansing TheCorruption in the first place.]] |
24 | * NotMeThisTime: [[spoiler:Sen]] tries to frame [[spoiler:[[WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries The Joker]]]] for the week 2 case, but he doesn't even show up on the suspect list. [[spoiler: Averted when he actually is the culprit on week 4.]] |
25 | * OffWithHisHead: [[spoiler:The Teishu]] decapitates [[spoiler:[[Manga/BlastOfTempest Mahiro Fuwa]]]] for trespassing. |
26 | * ReformedButRejected: [[spoiler:Once the corruption is cleared from his being, The Sage (who is really [[VideoGame/ToukenRanbu The Saniwa]]) tries to apologize to the players for putting them through the game. Many of them don't care and decide to beat him up instead.]] |
27 | %%* RunningGag: Lemons. Mahiro sniffing the evidence. See also YouDidntAsk, below. |
28 | * SacrificialLamb: Echoing her repeated deaths in canon, [[spoiler:[[VisualNovel/HigurashiWhenTheyCry Rika Furude]]]] is the first in the game to die. |
29 | * SealedEvilInACan: [[spoiler:The Teishu]] was sealed in one of these pre-game. [[spoiler: Hegets re-sealed into a ''ramune bottle'' at the final trial.]] |
30 | * ShapeshifterModeLock: Hanyuu is locked into her adult form for the duration of the game, rather than the disguise of a 12-year-old that she uses in Higurashi proper. |
