- Cruel and Unusual Death
- Death by Origin Story: A
- Detective Mole: Naomi is very impressed by "Ryuuzaki's" ability to decipher the codes B left behind... well...

- Gorn
- Harmful to Minors: Thirteen year old Quarter Queen.
- Irritation Is the Sincerest Form of Flattery

- Ninja Pirate Zombie Robot: B L's evil look-alike, a sociopathic Evil Genius Wammy's kid Serial Killer born with the Shinigami eyes.

- Sweet Tooth: Ryuzaki.
- Tyke Bomb: all the graduates of Wammy's House.
