* FiveSecondForeshadowing: In Hana’s route, [[spoiler:Mr. Wakui]] shows up and starts speaking to Takuru about the incidents and his personal beliefs, becoming increasingly suspicious until [[spoiler:a text message confirms him as [[TheMole an assassin]]]].

* ObfuscatingStupidity: [[spoiler:Serika normally acts as a {{Cloudcuckoolander}} GenkiGirl. In actuallity, she's a very deadly Gigalomaniacs and a cunning ChessMaster who orchestrated the Return of New Generation Madness.]]

* PervertRevengeMode: Subverted in Chapter Eight’s positive delusion. After a whole incident in which Takuru winds up lifting the skirts of every girl in the cafeteria using his Gigalomaniac powers, all the girls (except Serika) look at him, ready to beat him up (especially [[{{Tsundere}} Nono]]). He then explains the situation and how it was actually Shinji’s idea- and the girls actually listen to him and redirect their wrath towards Shinji. [[DoubleSubversion Double subverted]], but still downplayed, in that Takuru still gets reprimanded for playing along.

* EvolvingCredits: The anime's opening changes [[spoiler:Nono to appear as Senri following Episode 8.]]
* {{Foreshadowing}}: The anime has several clues leading up to [[spoiler:the reveal of Nono's true identity as Senri Minamisawa. The most obvious being a flashback in an early episode where Senri is seen next to Nono's dead body. Later, Hinae's ability reveals that 'Nono' is lying about having seen Senri die in the earthquake (because it was actually the other way around).]]

-->Super! Strong! Sumo Sticker!

* PunctuatedForEmphasis: Hana does this in the bad end of her route in a vain attempt to [[spoiler:use her Gigalomaniac powers to kill the monster chasing her]]:

* LeaningOnTheFourthWall: Takuru says this to Shinjo, his best friend, about the worthlessness of popularity and dating rumors:

* PaintingTheMedium: At one point when Takuru is temprloality deafened, all sound in the VN is cut off.

* WhamLine: Shinjo tells Arimura Hinae this in her route, about a recent murder victim:

* CoolOldGuy: Gen-san, an alcoholic hobo who's friends with Takuru and claims he's a decedent of royalty. He's also more or less the leader of the section of the homeless park he lives in and shows himself to be very capable when needed, despite being drunk all the time.

* BadDate: Exaggerated. A bad delusion in Arimura’s route has Takuru running around town to find a place to take her out to eat, only for all six places to be full. At that point, Arimura just tells him off, [[VirginShaming calls him a virgin]], and ditches him. In public, in front of other people who start talking about him. [[FromBadToWorse And his failure even makes it onto Shibuya News, bringing a whole crowd of reporters and angry people to his doorstep]].

-->Knowing those facts doesn’t make you a true right-sider, and it certainly doesn’t give you the ability to determine larger truths. All it does is make you the best friend in a visual novel.

** A lot of Takuru's delusions tend to get a comment or portrait change from Serika if something weird happens in them. [[spoiler:She makes these comments not because he says something, but because she can read his mind.]]

Meanwhile, on a chat board, the mysterious user [[BigBad Amy]] orchestrates the New New Gen murders for some unknown purpose of theirs...

* BigBad: [[HiddenVillain The mysterious person known only as Amy]] is the mastermind behind the Return of the New Gen murders. The true identity of Amy is [[spoiler:Serika Onoe, the main heroine and childhood friend of Takuru Miyashiro. [[DiscOneFinalBoss However]], she is merely a puppet of [[BigBadDuumvirate Dr. Wataru Sakuma and Mr. Shuichi Wakui]], Miyashiro's MadScientist foster father and a [[EvilTeacher teacher]] at Hekiho, respectively, who are members of the Committee of 300 and want to [[FinalSolution kill all Gigalomaniacs]] on their behalf]].

''Chaos;Child'' is a visual novel by 5pb. and the fourth installment in the ''VisualNovel/ScienceAdventureSeries''. The game was first released for the Xbox One in 2014 and later released for the Vita, [=PS3=], [=PS4=] and PC.

The story is set in Tokyo's Shibuya district in 2015, 6 years after the events of ''VisualNovel/ChaosHead''.

Takuru Miyashiro is a high school senior and president of the school's newspaper club whose family died in an earthquake 6 years before. Accompanied by his childhood friend Serika Onoe, foster sister Nono Kurusu, newspaper club members Hana and Shinji; Hinae, an eyewitness to a murder; Uki, who has spent years isolated from the world; and Mio, a misanthrope who has been sent in to aid the police. They all deal with the bizarre events referred to as the "Reincarnation of the New Generation of Madness" (or the New New Generation murders) while also using the superhuman powers that some of them possess.

Like it's predecessor, the game uses the "delusion trigger" system where the player can opt to view one of Takuru's daydreams/delusions. Additionally, the [[StringTheory "Mapping Trigger"]] system is added in which the player uses their own wit to match clues together in the ongoing investigation of the "Reincarnation of the New Generation of Madness".
