* DangerousForbiddenTechnique: The Inversion Incantation, which Komimi knows but refuses to cast. It grants the target a massive increase in power [[CastFromLifespan at the cost of diminishing their lifespan]]. She's not sure how much life it removes from the target and refuses to use it as a result. [[spoiler: After the Demon King is awakened, [[GodzillaThreshold she decides that the situation is dangerous enough to use it anyway]] but alters it so that the lifespan drain is divided between of all four main characters so as to lessen its harm]].

Added DiffLines:

* CycleOfHurting:
** Especially in the early game before the defensive moves from Komimi's bond are unlocked and the stun resistance upgrade is unlocked on her weapon, Tsumugi is very vulnerable to being stun-locked and staggered by repeated enemy hits that can result in her being caught in place and taking huge amounts of damage.
** After unlocking the final upgrade to the light attack combo, it's possible to trap boss monsters in an inescapable cycle of staggering via repeated combos and Komimi's hammer attack.

* BittersweetEnding: [[spoiler:Tsumugi and her trio of friends manage to defeat the Demon Lord, sealing him back in the Underworld, protecting the integrity of Iyo's timeline and all its parallel universes, and even granting Nobunaga, Kenshin, and Uesugi peace in death. Thanks to the events of the plot, they've all also begun to heal and move on from their respective traumas with new, more positive views of life. However, because no one but Iyo is meant to exist in that timeline, Tsumugi is forcibly returned to the 21st century and Komimi and Hagane voluntarily return to their universes. Over 500 years later, Tsumugi writes letters to her friends, nothing more to remember them than the photos on her phone, and Tsumugi's sword that Iyo has taken care of and passed down her family till it could return to Tsumugi's hands again.]]

* DubInducedPlotlineChange: The English version of the game avoids explicitly mentioning Tsumugi being a high school student, instead preferring to instead refer to her with vaguer terms like "21st century woman", "Gen Z girl", and "average young woman" respectively. In addition, a conversation where she talks about [[https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FjDKw90WIAI4IGE?format=jpg&name=large different school system terms]] is rewritten to instead have her talk about [[https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FjDKvj5XgAkyZTy?format=jpg&name=large different age groups instead]].
