Tropes appearing in this episode:

- Let's Split Up, Gang!: After their second fight with the Hollow Guardian, she runs away and the party splits up in two groups to look around for her.
- Monster Town: When a Story Zone is left unchecked/abandoned by it's Story Teller, it becomes a Void Zone. Its people become Villain-like beings, and order doesn't exist anymore. Reina explains to Ex that attuning the Zone or the Hollow Guardian will not help at all.
- Taking the Fight Outside: Reina guesses that the Guardian wants to fight the party properly, without obstacles. Later on, turns out she guessed correctly, because Ex hears from an unseen traveler that the Guardian is awaiting them on a wasteland.
- Worthy Opponent: In the end, the Guardian acknowledges the party's strength and vanishes along with the Void Zone. Reina especulates she merely wanted to harass Blank Tome owners for a good fight.
