A new battle has started.

"D" Tropes

 * Downer Ending: The Thanksgiving episode is meant to be such, as it revealed in the Stinger. Maria was awfully burned and was reported dead. However, instead of burial, she was sent into a KnightWalker Family facility by Terra of the Left, who advised the KnightWalker minions to crave her into a Cyborg. You'll know what kind of hideous and mad creature would come out by the sixth episode...
 * Pratically, considering to be the first CIS Productions to be a Bad Guy Wins scenario, the whole crossover has this. In spite of Katarina's efforts of defeating Michael, and both Abbie & Ichabod were saved, it could never hide the fact that the villains of the story (barring Eckidina) gained their last laugh. Michael ascended to his papal throne and joined the KnightWalker Family. He, Melancholia and Carrisa conspired together and captured Carl Robinson, a capture which would change Carl's whole life to the worst. Maria lost her life when trying to defy Eckidina's control, Corbin was dead, and the Horseman was retreated unscathed only it's all in a good time for his return. In addition, Andy Brooks, who was the only witness who could expose Moloch's secret, was killed by the demon king for his failure. Furthermore, Sister Mary Eunice had to seperate with her newly made friends, before collapsing in depression and tears. Considering some of them who costed their life in the World War II, this was their last goodbye.

"E" Tropes

 * Early-Bird Cameo: This episode introduced Matt Butcher as a rather minor character, but his character fleshed out immediately afterwards in its Spiritual Sequel, LOTM: Witnesses of Sleepy Hollow Spin-Off - Firenza Junior.

"H" Tropes

 * Hate Sink: The Arzonia Brothers are particularly set for this crossover to be sadistic abusers from Mafusa Gang, who all have their morbid admiring towards Aki Honda. Their petty abuse of their half-sister, Maria Arzonia, as well as their attitude of seeing her as a tool, had gained a lot of hatred from the readers and creators alike. Pratically, nobody ever mourned them in or out-universe after Maria burned them down. Even till now, they remained as some of the most despicable human villains of CIS Productions stories.
