Heroic BSoD: Pang in the final episode. Not only was he outsmarted by Director Supot, but the relationship with his friends appeared to have completely fallen apart due to ideological differences, manipulation and betrayal.

Power at a Price: All superpowers have a negative side effect. They range from mild (nosebleed) to severe (dissociative identity disorder and suicidal tendencies).

How Do I Shot Web?
 The Gifted (2018) / int_21fd09a7
comment
How Do I Shot Web?: For some students it takes an unusually long time to figure out or develop their potential. Good for Pang, since those who take their sweet time often happen to have a remarkably powerful ability.

Break Them by Talking: Director Supot's preferred method when it comes to confronting Pang. Justified, because he's unable to use his power on Pang. His way with words makes him dangerous even when not using his special ability.

Unwitting Test Subject: The Placement Exam itself is an example of Not What I Signed on For. Also, low class and rebellious students are often subjected to various mind-altering procedures, without their consent or knowledge. Some of it is For Science! and some of it is because He Knows Too Much.

Cool Teacher: Mr. Pom is a devoted and nice teacher who is generally liked by the students. His Mind Wipe power is instrumental at maintaining the status quo at Ritdha High School. Ms. Ladda is much stricter and less approachable, but she's able to keep her cool and mannerism even in the middle of a disaster.
