Added DiffLines:

* LimitBreak: The characters have a bevy of Hi-Ougi techniques to use, all with several secret requirements to unlock and use.
** A particularly hilarious example is Loni. He has one that's [[WordSaladTitle 15 kanji long and incredibly drawn out]], but lives up to the awesome name by destroying nearly everything on screen. If you use [[JokeWeapon his broom]] however, it'll fall off in the middle of the attack and end halfway, ending with a puny punch worth 1 damage.

* DemonicSpiders: Any Reaper or Ghost enemies, which like to teleport around out of reach (usually behind a StoneWall type enemy) and cast high level magic. Even worse is that where you find one, you will find the other, and it is possible for encounters to comprise of only Ghosts and Reapers.

* AntiMagic: Barbatos is just one big Anti-Everything That Could Help You. If you cast a spell, he counters with a spell of his own (and is invincible during his casting period). If you use an item, he counters with a LimitBreak that is literally called, "Never use items!".

* DualWielding: Judas.Judas and Harold both.


Added DiffLines:

* JerkassFacade: Judas may be a DeadpanSnarker, but he delves into straight up BrutalHonesty at times, usually when people are either asking questions about his past or when he wants to teach Kyle AnAesop about heroism. Despite this, he is well-meaning, most of the time.

* ToBeLawfulOrGood: As Kyle undergoes CharacterDevelopment, he runs into this problem, as well as TheNeedsOfTheMany, especially when both of these make Dymlos into a BrokenPedestal in his eyes.

* PityTheKidnapper: In a skit, Nanaly muses about being kidnapped, wondering if anyone would save her in such a circumstance.

* PlotHole: A small one, but when Harold [[spoiler: brings the Swordians out to use as a power source for TimeTravel,]] Berselius is among them.
