* AuthorAvatar: Koneshima has one that resembles his [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/images_1_0506.jpeg illustration stand-in]] used in ''Wrwrd!'' 's videos, but with the addition of {{pointy ears}}, a furry tail, messier hair with some parts of it styled to resemble horns, and a blue cape.

** While the manga has a handful of ''VideoGame/{{Minecraft}}'' references, it gets rather blatant in chapter 69 where Zom and Roboro go to a game store to buy a copy of ''Demon Craft''.

* ClubStub: Our Battler is an odd case. The battler itself seems to have already met the criteria needed to become official, but the battler's intentions are just too ambiguous that the student council refuses to recognize it as an official battler. It doesn't help that the members don't seem to be doing much of an effort to solve this matter.

* LighterAndSofter: While the main series is already quite lighthearted to begin with, this series has a simpler plot compared to the main series' slightly more sophisticated storyline, with story arcs only lasting around 2 to 4 chapters.

** In the extras for chapter 8, Shaoron tried to distract Zom in order to pull a surprise attack on him by provoking him with an insulting doodle. Said doodle ended up looking like [[https://www.twitter.com/shao_banbitan/status/1274264774667145216 this]] drawing that Shaoron made.

** Chapter 23 has Tonton and Shoppi trying to create a promotional video for Our Battler in preparation for the rookie hunt. The end result is the same as a typical ''Wrwrd!'' video.

* RagtagBunchOfMisfits: Our Battler is comprised of students of varying years and skills which includes a prideful demon who wants to become popular, a spineless incubus who mostly flirts around, a serious pig demon who loves to eat, a demon who fumbles around with potions, a demon who always sleeps and lazes around and a LargeHam leader with grand goals which he intends to follow with very vague methods. Shoppi even lampshades this by calling it a ragtag team.

* SelfInsert: The manga is somewhat this, taking place in exactly the same setting as ''Iruma-kun'' but with seven of the 11 active members of ''Wrwrd!'' serving as main characters[[note]] Three members (namely Koneshima, Osuman, and Emile) currently have not made any appearances in the manga, although the former is one of this series' authors. Meanwhile, Gruppen's status as a main character is debatable as he doesn't have as much appearances as the others.[[/note]].

** Much like his real-life YouTuber counterpart, Zom's overall aesthetic is a reference to ''VideoGame/{{Minecraft}}''.

* ClubStub: Our Battler is an odd case. The battler itself seems to have already met the criteria needed to become official, but [[NondescriptClub the battler's intentions are just too ambiguous]] that the student council refuses to recognize it as an official battler.

* NondescriptClub: According to Gruppen, Our Battler's goal is to rule over the school and eventually the entire Demon World, but most members just hang out in the clubroom and the only thing they seem to do is listen to other people's requests and problems which they help solve with limited success.
