- Brainwashed and Crazy: The Mad Hatter's henchmen, and very nearly Azumi and Jessica as well.
- The Corruptible: Jessica and Azumi, though it's not really their fault due to the drugs they had taken earlier. Scarecrow calls out the latter on this.

- Dream Apocalypse: Steadily collapsing as the women fight off the Hatter and his goons, then completely falls apart when Scarecrow invades.
- Enemy Mine: A non antagonistic example of sorts. Azumi and Jessica do not see eye to eye, but they do work together rather well to fight off the Hatter.
- Everyone Loves Blondes: Jess's hair color comes as a disadvantage to her.
- Evil Redhead: The Hatter, though how "villainous" he is is up for grabs.

- Mad Scientist: The Hatter and Scarecrow both, but more the former here.
- Master Of Illusion: The Hatter and Scarecrow, again.
- Mind Control Device: The Mad Hatter's hats and tea. The latter is taken by Scarecrow for Dani.

- Psychopathic Manchild: Jervis Tetch.
- Red Sky Take Warning: The mind control dimension takes on this when Scarecrow invades.
- Rhymes On A Dime: The narration during the "break out of brainwashing" sequence.
- Soundtrack Dissonance: A literary example. As the two women scream and try to escape their blind brainwashing, the format of the writing changes to poetry.
- Villainous Rescue: Scarecrow saves Azumi and Jessica.
- Villainous Teleportation: Mad Hatter has this... kind of. It's probably the drugs.
- Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds: Well, minds, but the Mad Hatter fits.

- Chapter 7
- Always Close: Intentional. Azumi fires to stop Deadshot at the last possible second just to force his aim off without having to get close.
- Arm Cannon: Deadshot has two forearm-mounted, silenced, armor-piercing ones. Azumi takes one of the pairs for herself upon victory.
- Armor Is Useless: Averted. Azumi would be dead if it weren't for several layers of protection.
- Armor Piercing Attack: Deadshot and Azumi's guns, more the Seeker Rifle in the case of the latter.
- Badass Mustache: Deadshot.
- Battle Trophy: Azumi's requisition of Deadshot's arm guns on one arm is a functional version of this.
- Berserk Button: Azumi made Deadshot miss his shot. He wasn't happy.
- Blown Across The Room: Or blown off the roof, anyway, in terms of Azumi's first defeat to Deadshot.

- The Cameo: Calendar Man at the end.
- Cliffhanger: Azumi is being trailed by... someone at the end.

- Gunpoint Banter: Between Deadshot and Azumi when they confront each other.
- The Gunslinger: Most prominently Deadshot.
- Hard Head: Azumi doesn't get a concussion from her impact with concrete. Justified by how she is wearing a helmet and full armor, and she does get knocked out.
- Improbable Aiming Skills: A staple of Deadshot. The last shot he attempts is [i]through[/i] a filled water tower.
- In Medias Res: Starts in the middle of the Deadshot attack before going to How We Got Here.

- Porn Stache: Deadshot's classic mustache.
- "The Reason You Suck" Speech: Deadshot gives one against [i]hope[/i].
- Shoot Out The Lock: Subverted with Azumi getting into the substation. She uses her Seeker Rifle to shoot the hinges, not the lock, in proper shotgun breaching procedure.
- Smug Super: Deadshot is rather proud of his skill. Possibly subverted in that he isn't actually super. He's just that good.
- Shout Out: To Uncharted 2: Among Thieves. "That's my blood. That's my blood, that's a [i]lot[/i] of my blood."
- Shut Up Hannibal: Azumi gives one to Deadshot in response to his "The Reason You Suck" Speech after their fight.
