** Also, it's either this or a VisualPun, but when Vivi wraps Lance up in a spider web barber cloth, she says, "Snug as a bug," when he is like a bug who is caught in a spider web, and is mistaken for a bug a little later by a tiny spider who grabs his face and swallows him whole in a death scene.
*** In another death scene of the same scenario, Vivi uses a scythe to [[OffWithHisHead chop off both Lance's head]] and his long red hair in a DangerouslyCloseShave... which is somehow a pun on "ShaveAndAHairCut", a piece that was used to end a musical tune... and this is pretty much her finishing move in a death scene.

If the character doesn't show or experience trauma in relation to the hair cutting, it's not an example of the trope.

It's a last establishing shot of the castle. Hardly a Gainax Ending.
* BookEnds: The game begins and ends with a shot of the castle while bats fly around. In the beginning bats fly towards the castle, while at the end a single bat (a caricature of one of the developers) flies away from it and into the camera.
** Also, with a splash of LeaningOnTheFourthWall: when gameplay begins with a shot of Lance looking into the camera and saying "I'm game!" His final line before the final cutscene, as he finishes off the villains, is "game over."

* GainaxEnding: In a sense. After Lance departs, the camera zooms to a bat sleeping on a nearby tree, who then awakens to fly off into the night. The bat had absolutely nothing to do with the story: why it gets the focus in the last 5 seconds is anybody's guess.

* GainaxEnding: In FauxAffablyEvil: Vivi spends her whole scene ''pretending'' to be friendly - if macabre - a sense. After la The Addams Family, and actually never drops the act the whole time: pretending to be oblivious to all the deadly things in her salon and acting like any lethal injuries were accidents. But the smug looks she gives if the player fails and Lance departs, dies tell another story, not to mention her dropping all pretense and just draining Lance dry on the camera zooms to a bat sleeping on a nearby tree, who then awakens to fly off into the night.

* GuileHero: While he's certainly physically fit enough to sprint around the whole castle, Lance is no match for any of the enemies in the game in a fight and relies on his quick wits (and a little luck) to win.
