Pink Blood On The Clocktower provides examples of:

• Alliance of Alternates: The Council of Nagitos acts as one.
• Big Bad Ensemble: Two rival demons known as Po and Vortox have thus far acted as the primary Greater-Scope Villains of the series, engaged in a feud over who will control the multiverse and having various minions who loyally serve them.
• Big Good: Jin Kirigiri is the head of Hope's Peak's research team and the most active opponent of Vortox. Although he is somewhat of a Failure Hero and Unwitting Instigator of Doom.
• Canon Welding: The Into The Nagito-Verse game brings in the cast of the Nagito Trial as a significant faction in the fight against Vortox.
• Death Is Cheap: With all the multiverse shenanigans, dead players can suddenly be brought back between games.
• Demonic Possession: Many individuals have become devoted servants of the Demons after being taken over by otherworldly beings.
• Demoted to Extra: Monokuma started off as the Big Bad as per usual for the first Loop, only to be demoted into an occasional participant while various other characters take turns hosting their own games.
• Depending on the Author: With multiple writers taking turns hosting games, the Lore and storyline behind the game is flexible, with many writers contributing to the storyline,
• Grand Theft Me: Into The Nagito-Verse ends with Nagitos from other worlds stealing the bodies of Akane, Celeste, Gonta, Maki, and Ruruka to infiltrate the Prime Timeline.
• Hidden Villain: The Divine Playground reveals Chihiro to be working with a secret conspiracy of hidden villains known as Vortox. As the games go on, more and more of Chihiro's co-conspirators are revealed as Bandai Daisuku, Maki Harukawa, Korekiyo Shinguji, and Kyoko Kirigiri.
  • One member, known as Baron, remains unknown.
• Immune to Mind Control: Nagito and Ruruka seem to be able to resist falling under the control of the Demons.
• Make Way for the New Villains: Happens twice in Enter The Leviathan. First, when a demon known as Leviathan usurps control of the Vortox organization from Bandai Daisuke and destroys the entity possessing him. Second, when a defeated Leviathan, revealed to be Squidward Tentacles, is tracked down by a partially-possessed Kiyotaka Ishimaru and destroyed in turn.
• Massive Multiplayer Crossover: As the multiverse storyline unfolded, more and more trials allow for characters from any work of fiction with sprite sets to be played, with games featuring characters from properties as far-reaching as Konosuba, Undertale, and even Spongebob Square Pants.
• The Mole: Several. Most prominently, Chihiro acts as one for Vortox within Jin Kirigiri's research team while a Nagito in Maki's body infiltrates Vortox for the Council of Nagitos.
• Never Found the Body: Chihiro falls into a portal after an explosion at the end of Mechanical New World, with his accomplices regarding him as dead
• Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: The Council of Nagitos and the Council of Travellers both seem to regard Jin Kirigiri's Multiverse experiments as being responsible for causing his universe to become a hotbed for Multiversal Threats.
• The Order: Rise of the Leviathan introduces a group of Dimensional Travelers from previous Pink Blood on the Clocktower games who have united to protect the Multiverse from the disasters popping up because of the Prime Timeline
• Ripple-Effect-Proof Memory: The overall storyline starts with Jin Kirigiri realizing that something about the game, Blood on the Clocktower, allows players to remember playing it in multiple timelines. The mystery behind this ability, Clocktower Syndrome, drives him to begin exploring the Multiverse.
