This fanfic provides examples of:
- Adaptational Badass:
- Downplayed as Gowther is stated to be one of the most dangerous members of the Seven Deadly Sins due to his Invasion power according to Great Holy Knight Dreyfus, but he is vulnerable to close range attacks as the latter immediately attacked Gowther by stabbing him at the chest (although Gowther then used "Nightmare Teller" technique in response) in a Flash Step. Here, Gowther can actually melee in battle with the use of his fists and later his greatsword in his Enchanted Armor when bulldozing through the Holy Knights of Liones and toying with Robert Baratheon in their duel.
- Lyanna Stark becomes a Badass Normal after Gowther trained her as she was able to Speed Blitz on the three squires who were harassing Howland Reed.
- A Girl And Her Giant: Lyanna Stark met Gowther, who's in his Enchanted Armor, and befriended him, taking him in as part of House Stark.note
- Always a Bigger Fish: Gregor Clegane realizes this when seeing Gowther in action and rightfully usurped his canonical title for a reason.
- Be Careful What You Wish For: Lyanna publicly declared that if any man wants her hand, they must defeat her retainer Gowther in a duel. She eventually regrets this when it seemed Gowther intended to kill Robert Baratheon, her betrothed, in front of everyone including his family at the tourney of Harrenhall.
- BFS: Gowther obtains a massive greatsword forged for him to wield in his Enchanted Armor, which he uses it to hide his Sacred Treasure, Twin-Bow Herrit.
- Blatant Lies: Before starting his duel with Robert Baratheon, Gowther claims he has "the strength of twenty good men". Tyrion Lannister calls him out on it, correcting that it's strength of a thousand men after seeing Gowther carving a trench line with his sword he swings at Robert Baratheon.
- Bring It: As part of his roleplay, Gowther does this to Robert Baratheon to attack at the start of their duel.
- Bullying a Dragon: Aerys Targaryen tries to make Gowther bend the knee to him despite the fact he is an easily squishable man to a massive looking armored warrior who can step on him. Fortunately, Gowther prefer using his Invasion power to purge the Targaryen madness from Aerys' mind.
- The Comically Serious:
- Naturally, Gowther does this whenever he makes an eccentric pose or roleplay.
- Stannis Baratheon is this as he corrects Gowther of his intentional grammar error with a straight face.
- Curb-Stomp Battle: Calling it a fight would be generous as Gowther effortlessly dominated Robert Baratheon without using his magic while hamming it up as part of his roleplay. Even when Robert unlocked lightning magic, Gowther still beat him in the end.
- Entertainingly Wrong: Everyone in the Seven Kingdoms saw Gowther as a giant, which he rolls with it and doesn't correct them, seeing it as a roleplay. In The Seven Deadly Sins canon, Gowther in his Enchanted Armor is actually shorter than Diane, a real Giant.
- Evil Laugh: Gowther does this in his roleplay: "Wahahahahahahaha!"
- The Faceless: Due to being inside his Enchanted Armor all the time, Gowther never removes his helmet. Lyanna lampshades about it during the feast at the tourney of Harrenhall.
- Heel–Face Brainwashing: Gowther used Invasion to fix Aerys Targaryen's broken mind and revert him from his infamous madness as the Mad King.
- I Let You Win: Despite being vastly more physically powerful than most of Westeros' best knights, Gowther pretended to feel exhausted and claim that his duel with Robert Baratheon ended up as a tie after the heir of Storm's End had unlocked his magic power of lightning for the first time.
- Large Ham: Gowther does this as part of his roleplay as a Boisterous Bruiser in his duel with Robert Baratheon.
- Mythology Gag:
- Gowther obtains the epithet of "Armored Giant"; a nod to Dale who's the Armored Giant in The Seven Deadly Sins canon.
- The way Gowther "reveals" his face from his Cool Helmet is similar with how Drole, the former Giant King and member of the Ten Commandments, reveal his face underneath the bag of cloth he wears.
- Gowther claims to Robert Baratheon that he possesses "the strength of twenty good men", a nod to Ramsay Snow/Bolton who has twenty good men in sabotaging Stannis Baratheon's supply lines in Game of Thrones.
- Power Limiter: Gowther's Enchanted Armor is this as it kept his magic power in check and as he is in Westeros where there is no real magical threat to contain, he has no reason to remove the armor from himself and kept it that way.
- Pragmatic Villainy: Not exactly a villain, Varys actually approves of Aerys being healed of his Targaryen madness by Gowther whom he is still suspicious of. As it would prevent from things going out of control to a destructive civil war in Westeros.
- Pretty Boy: When Gowther "reveals" his face by removing his helmet, everyone remark on his beauty which contrast with his large armored appearance. Robert lampshades this while laughing his ass off when he saw Gowther's face.
- Red Baron:
- In Westeros, Gowther is known as the "Armored Giant of the North" and "The Mountain" due to being inside his Enchanted Armor, usurping the title from Gregor Clegane.
- For Lyanna, aside from "She-Wolf of Winterfell", she was called as "Giant Tamer" due to befriending Gowther in his Enchanted Armor much to her embarrassment.
- Shock and Awe: Robert Baratheon awakens his lightning magic during his duel with Gowther, imbuing his warhammer with it.
- Vocal Dissonance: The people of the Seven Kingdoms find the Armored Giant of the North's soft-spoken voice to be uncanny as it contrast with his large intimidating figure.
- Willfully Weak: Gowther deliberately keeps his Invasion power and Sacred Treasure a secret in Westeros, and has to compensate with his own strength and use of a sword made for him. That being said, in The Seven Deadly Sins canon, the Strength digit from Gowther's Power Level (3,100 pre-Ten Commandments Saga) is stated to be 500, which means he is still stronger than most humans in the physical department.
- What Are You: Varys, the Master of Whispers, had nothing but suspicion towards Gowther and wanted nothing more than to find out who he really is and what's his agenda.
