By TRS decision Whip It Good is now a disambiguation page. Moving entries to appropriate tropes when possible.


* AffablyEvil[=/=]GracefulLoser: The dukes all share tea with you after being defeated and surrendering their gem.



* AllThereInTheManual: You'd only know the setting is supposed to be in the post-apocalyptic future by reading the manual. In-game, the aesthetics borrow a great deal from the original ''VideoGame/{{Castlevania}}'', and as a result the setting looks vaguely 17th-century. There’s also the fact that one of the subweapons is a handgun.
** To make matters more confusing, the original Japanese manual tells a completelely different story: it was set in the Balkans in the late 19th century, and you play as British Empire agent Sir Julian James Bond, sent on a mission to stop a plot to resurrect demons.
* AmbiguousEnding: In the Japanese version's ending, Bond finds the Baphomet statue that Ruth has been trying to reawaken, still dormant despite being covered in sacrificial blood. However, as Bond tried to take it away, the cross on its head turned into a swastika and its eyes began glowing with a evil light, neither of which were noticed by Bond.
