* DramaticIrony: In the ''Explosion'' spinoff, Luna advises the guild to find a powerful, blue-haired Archpriest to deal with a powerful devil. Several adventurers do come across Aqua, but dismiss the notion that the bratty crybaby scraping by on odd jobs could possibly be the person they're looking for.

* SchmuckBait: [[spoiler:Shortly after he finally infiltrates the Demon King's castle, Kazuma finds a paper saying "Do not push" over a magic circle. Kazuma immediately recognizes it as an obvious trap, and even has a Trap Detection skill to confirm it... but then convinces himself that it's actually a shortcut to the Demon King and presses it anyway. He winds up trapped in a room with the runaway Aqua, the only other person who'd been dumb enough to press it.]]

** In Season 2 Episode 2, Kazuma freezes the bathroom door shut so Aqua won't catch him bathing with Megumin. The blast of icy wind repeatedly blows up the small towel around his waist, but it also frightens Chomusuke into skittering around to cover his naughty bits.

* AdaptationDeviation: While the differences between the original Web Novel and Light Novel versions of the story are minimal, two specific parts near the end of the series are completely different in the Light Novel version:
** In the Web Novel, it was revealed that the Demon King [[spoiler:was actually just another reincarnated Japanese human that was sent to that world by Aqua with a "cheat item", only to decide to use it to take over that world with Kazuma realizing that everything they had to deal with was Aqua's fault to begin with. In the Light Novel however, while the Demon King still has a Japanese name, he genuinely was born a Demon from that world and admitted that while he knows about Japan, he himself has never actually been there and we never learn why he actually waged war against humanity in the first place before Kazuma kills him]].
** [[spoiler:After Kazuma dies while taking the Demon King with him in the Web Novel, Eris reveals that there are actually more than one Demon King in her world with each one stronger than the last, with the series ending with Kazuma continuing to fight the other Demon Kings. In the Light Novel however, this was removed entirely.]]

** In the finale, [[spoiler:Kazuma buys all the manatite that Wiz had foolishly stocked up [[ChekhovsGun back in Volume 8]] so Megumin could spam Explosion to her heart's content. She not only easily breaks the barrier around the Demon King's castle (which only had two Generals maintaining it by that point), but strikes terror in his army as she bombards her enemies without giving them any chance to fight back.]]



* OurVampiresAreDifferent: We haven't actually seen one (yet), but they are mentioned as being a step above [[HeadlessHorseman Dullahan]] and a step below [[OurLichesAreDifferent Liches]] in the undead SortingAlgorithmOfEvil.

* GladHesOnOurSide: Kazuma often remarks how lucky they are that Wiz is a General of the Demon King [[NominalVillain in name only]]. She was a powerful Archwizard to begin with, in particular being able to cast [[FantasticNuke Explosion]] without keeling over like Megumin. Becoming a [[OurLichesAreDifferent lich]] made her impervious to physical attacks and lets her perform a simultaneous LifeDrain and ManaDrain, as well as inflict all sorts of StandardStatusEffects, through mere contact. She's still highly susceptible to Aqua's holy magic as an undead, but even Aqua is terrified of Wiz [[BewareTheNiceOnes when she gets serious]].

* InterruptedIntimacy: Any intimate moment between Kazuma and Megumin or Darkness will usually get interrupted by the other party members (usually Aqua) barging in. This gets [[LampshadeHanging Lampshaded]] in Volume 16 when [[spoiler: Kazuma and Megumin are about to have sex with Kazuma noting that Aqua would usually interrupt the moment right about now. In fact, Kazuma stops himself from doing the deed ''because'' Aqua isn't around to stop him]].

* InsultedAwake:
** Megumin and Wiz are charged with firing Explosion on the Destroyer, but the former is too busy trembling in fear to focus... until Kazuma deliberately provokes her by belittling her passion for the magic.
** Kazuma berates Darkness for being weak-willed enough to let Vanir take over her body. Vanir starts to brag that Darkness can't hear him anymore, only for Darkness (who Vanir had questionable control over to begin with) to angrily object to Kazuma's insults.
