Cruel and Unusual Death | |
| The Iron Heart / int_1e584efa | comment |
Cruel and Unusual Death: Damon in the first season dies by accidentally ingesting acid from his own acid grenade, which was thrown by Poseidon and kicked by Apollo, which ricocheted from a tree towards his position. One of Selene's female bodyguards dies in the second season by being thrown into a rock crusher. | |

Gratuitous Foreign Language | |
| The Iron Heart / int_2fcf9bbc | comment |
Gratuitous Foreign Language: When an episode is set in another country (that's filmed in location on said country), the characters are guaranteed to speak a little bit of that country's language. An example of this is Priam and Eros speaking Italian on Season 1 and Eros ordering his men from Altare to kill Apollo in Japanese. | |

Government Agency of Fiction | |
| The Iron Heart / int_33affa42 | comment |
Government Agency of Fiction: The Crime Investigation Bureau (CIB), the organization that recruited Apollo with the purpose of bringing down Tatsulok. Just like the more recent teleseryes of ABS-CBN, the National Law Enforcement Agency (NLEA) is also present in this show, standing in for the Philippine National Police. The ICIA, the international organization that Harmonia is a part of, appears to be based on the Interpol, since they appear to have jurisdiction worldwide (they first travel to the Philippines to investigate Altare, and Harmonia has one agent placed in Japan to assist Apollo in finally catching Eros) | |

Bookends | |
| The Iron Heart / int_53224e46 | comment |
Bookends: Apollo's journey as a Tatsulok member in the first season all started and ended because of one person: Janus. It was Janus who first recruited him into the organization, and him holding Lia and his aunt Delia hostage later on is what led to Apollo blowing his cover and getting discovered as a CIB mole by the other Tatsulok members. | |

Made of Iron: Janus. He manages to survive a high fall, and just barely manages to reach Selene's car before passing out and falling into a coma. In his final fight with Apollo, he is shot twice in the torso and survives. It literally took Apollo a lot of shots from his pistol to finally bring him down for good. | |

Religious and Mythological Theme Naming | |
| The Iron Heart / int_ae6adc36 | comment |
Religious and Mythological Theme Naming: Most of the characters are named after characters from Greek mythology, with a few characters named after Roman mythological beings. Even fictional places in the show are named after aspects of Greek mythology (example: the city of Medea, the province of Hellas, and the European country of Tyche in season 1) Cian is an interesting outlier though: unlike most of the charcters who are named after Greek or Roman gods, he is named after a being from Irish mythology. | |

Face–Heel Turn | |
| The Iron Heart / int_af3ea0e3 | comment |
Face–Heel Turn: Eros would pull this off in Season 2, with The Reveal that he is Commando, the leader of Altare's chapter in the Philippines. He first kills Xenon, his fellow agent in the CIB, when he reveals his identity to him. To say that Apollo was distraught and angered when he found out about this would be a massive understatement. | |

Bottomless Magazines: Much like other action teleseryes before it, every firearms used by the characters fire way more bullets than what their magazines could realistically carry, although they do reload their guns from time to time. | |

Not Quite Dead | |
| The Iron Heart / int_e431c24c | comment |
Not Quite Dead: Some characters who were thought to have been dead turned out to be alive and well, such as: The aforementioned Janus, thought to have been dead when Apollo pulled him down from a high place. Adonis, who was seemingly killed when Apollo flipped him towards a wooden ladder, causing him to be impaled by the debris, is revealed to be alive and undergoing medical treatment from Aphro. He would only meet his end when Apollo hits his head with an axe in a later episode. Romulo was also thought to have been dead, when Nyx shot him in his shoulders during a confrontation. He would also return in the second season, with exactly what happened to him before returning to Tatsulok being unknown. Priam, the first season's Big Bad, is also revealed to be alive in the second season after he was shot by Eros, although he was imprisoned by the CIB for a while before being broken out by the Tatsulok. | |

Redemption Equals Death: Brother Joseph seeking to redeem himself because of Lia causes his death when he was stabbed by Dylan during their fight. He does give Apollo a way to take down Altare before he dies. Eros himself would die in the final episode, getting sniped by an unknown assassin after giving Apollo the cellphone containing his contacts from Altare. | |
