* MundaneUtility: In Episode EX's campfire scene for Stage 5, the party uses Alfred's Frostcalibur to stave off the heat... until it melts.

** [[spoiler:The Flying Armor uses all the Subweapons of Zangetsu and his allies as power-ups, such as firing talismans, triple knives, Dragun Blasts, scythes, whirlwinds, and electric orbs, gaining Gebel's bats as options, and using Alfred's spells as temporary enhancements.]]

* RecoilBoost: Robert's Dragun Blast Subweapon pushes him back quite a bit when used. The game recommends using it during a jump for a bit of extra distance, but you can also use it while standing on ice to quickly gain velocity.

** Alfred's Frostcalibur and Voltaic Ray are named after [[VideoGame/AzureStrikerGunvolt Gunvolt's]] Luxcalibur and Voltaic Chains attacks. Frostcalibur even behaves somewhat similarly and has a similar design to its namesake.

* LedgeBats: Being the ''Castlevania'' SpiritalSuccessor that it is, it wouldn't be complete without its own brand of GoddamnedBats. It also has Dullahammer Heads, the equivalent of Medusa Heads.

* MundaneUtility: In Episode 2's campfire scene for Stage 6, the party uses Alfred's Frostcalibur to stave off the heat... until it melts.

* MundaneUtility: In Episode 2's campfire scene for Stage 5, the party uses Alfred's Frostcalibur to stave off the heat... until it melts.

* CallBack: The subtitle for the Final Episode is "Cleave the Moon", much like the name of the last stage in the previous game if you didn't recruit any allies. Furthermore, attempting the final stage without recruiting allies changes the stage's name to [[GratuitousLatin "Luna Secare"]], meaning "cleave the moon", [[spoiler:and this time around, Zangetsu does exactly that]].

* EleventhHourSuperpower: If you leave for TheVeryDefinitelyFinalDungeon alone, [[spoiler:Alfred will give Zangetsu an alchemically-reforged version of his original sword called the Daizangetsuto before departure. This allows him to regain the 3-hit combo and the Helmsplitter attacks from the Soul Eraser, but not the amped-up Subweapons]].

* EleventhHourSuperpower: If you leave for TheVeryDefinitelyFinalDungeon alone, [[spoiler:Alfred will give Zangetsu an alchemically-reforged version of his original sword called the Daizangetsuto before departure]].

** Clearing the Final Episode without picking up any allies gives an alternate form of the TrueFinalBoss and a special ending.

** Andrealphus, the boss of stage 5, fights extremely similarly to Pegasolta Eclair from ''VideoGame/MegaManZero4'', another game Inticreates made. You even fight the both of them in a windy, rainy scene that's constantly pushing you towards the right.

* UnexplainedRecovery: Despite quite explicitly dying at the end of the previous game's Nightmare Mode, Zangetsu is completely alive and well during this adventure with no mention of how he managed to cheat death. Although it's possible that this game follows the normal ending of the first game.

* ForegoneConclusion: Similar to how this trope was used in the first game (see above), the room directly before the final boss has OneUps that replenish every time you lose a life. And the room **before** that has a secret area that always has Resurrection Anthems for Dominique

* LethalLavaLand: Stage 6 takes place in a volcano. The stage transitions for Stage 6 usually show the characters suffering from the intense heat (although Hachi pulls shaved ice out of {{Hammerspace}} in Episode 2).
