Control Freak: Skyspear, leader of the Dolorov tribe and Yasha's adoptive mother. Everyone in the tribe must live according to their gods-ordained role, but Skyspear is the one who dictates what the gods' wishes are. Anyone who sees fault in her decisions and appeals for her to change her mind like Zuala does is a poison that needs to be violently removed.

Timmy in a Well: Frumpkin the cat meowing and pawing at the window alerts Leofric and Una that their home is on fire. Subverted because while Leofric initially has his back to the fire, Una was facing the door and would have seen things burst into flame.

Mythology Gag
 Mighty Nein Origins (Comic Book) / int_26ac510e
comment
Mythology Gag: A statue of two half-elves is in the bath at the Ikithon estate, the male one with a snake and the female one with an arrow, resembling Vax with his snake belt Simon and Vex with her archery. The Blumendrei then have a sexual encounter in the bath. In campaign one, Vax (played by Liam O'Brien, sharing an actor with Bren/Caleb) enters a bath with Percy in it, unaware that Vex was already in the water, possibly enjoying some intimate time with Percy before her twin cut in for a serious talk with her partner. The Ermendruds have a little statue of Trinket the armored bear on a shelf. Liam's character Vax was the Cool Uncle to his sister Vex's pet bear in campaign one.

Blood Magic: Molly can utilize his own blood to perform magic, such as creating ice. To conceal this rather disturbing ability, the circus gives him a set of scimitars so he can claim the swords are magic and draw attention away from himself.

Important Haircut: Doubling with Traumatic Haircut. As part of their Vollstrecker training, molding them into terrible assassins, Astrid, Eodwulf, and Bren get their hair cut short military-style. During his time in the Sanatorium, Bren's hair grew back long from neglect, and afterwards Caleb keeps the style possibly to reassert his identity.

comment
Late-Arrival Spoiler: Summaries for Nott and Caleb's books state their identities as Veth Brenatto and Bren Aldric Ermendrud upfront. While not explicitly remarked upon, the comics do not make any attempt to hide Molly's death, as he is absent from the group in all scenes taking place in the present, with Caduceus accompanying them instead. Molly's comic opens with him raising from the dead.

comment
Expository Hairstyle Change: Yasha's hair begins darkening after Zuala's death and her rampage, eventually almost turning black aside from the ends following ordeal with Obann, both showing her status as a Fallen aasimar, and her state of grief and rage. Caleb has his hair in a buzz cut while training to be an obedient weapon for the Empire, but it becomes unkempt with a Beard of Sorrow during his time at the sanatorium, and he keeps it that way after getting free. Molly is fully bald when he first wakes up, reflecting his status as a near literal blank slate. Once he acclimates to living and develops a personality, he grows it out and wears it in a messy ponytail.

Polyamory
 Mighty Nein Origins (Comic Book) / int_a5de0ab9
comment
Polyamory: Caleb's comic canonizes the "Blumendrei" ship of Astrid/Eadwulf/Caleb, with the three of them having emotionally and sexually intimate scenes. According to Liam O'Brien, however, Caleb does not explicitly identify as polyamorous, even though he was in a polyamorous relationship. Granted, the relationship was explicitly encouraged and fostered by Trent Ikithon, for the three traumatized children to be codependent in order to survive their horrific training and indoctrination, rather than any unadulterated attraction between the three.

Abusive Parents: Skyspear was not a kind mother. While teaching Yasha, she tells the girl to stand in a circle and threatens severe punishment if she exits it, then leaves Yasha for days without food before eventually giving her disgusting lizards to eat. Outside of her worst offense of murdering Zuala for marrying Yasha, she also slapped her adopted daughter on at least one occasion.

Adaptational Explanation
 Mighty Nein Origins (Comic Book) / int_b7fa9b36
comment
Adaptational Explanation: Caleb's comic expands upon the circumstances of the events leading into Caleb's 10-year long fugue state. The Origins comic makes it explicit that Bren snapped and attacked Astrid, upon which Eadwulf hit Bren with a huge rock, knocking him unconscious, and left him there on Trent's orders. It would have given Bren a traumatic brain injury and was the real cause of his fugue state in the Vergesson Sanatorium. The cleric who healed him healed his brain injury, freeing him of the damage as well as the false memories implanted by Trent, after which Caleb was up and running. The only allusion to this in the stream were burn scars on Astrid that she implied were from a mad Caleb. In the stream, Taliesin described the day Molly woke up buried as being a vague memory the tiefling doesn’t recall very well, and how he was resurrected is never explained. The comic expands on these events, revealing Molly clawed his way out of the ground one night and wandered through the woods until hearing singing, eventually encountering Toya at the circus. It also repeatedly emphasizes the moons while he comes to, implying they are somehow responsible for reviving him.
