''Ne no Kami: The Two Princess Knights of Kyoto'' is a two part [[YuriGenre Yuri]] VisualNovel by Japanese independent developer, Kuro Irodoru Yomiji. Both parts have been localized by Sekai Project with a [[BleachedUnderpants censored version]] available through Steam as well as an uncensored version and a +18 patch available through Denpasoft website.

** Ruka calls her special attack in beach volleyball [[Franchise/PrettyCure Cure]] [[BreadEggsMilkSquick Guillotine]].

* MentalAffair: Downplayed. While Len did have an EroticDream featuring her and Ruka [[spoiler:that Ruka created and sent]], Ruka wasn't actually participating [[spoiler:and her hand in it wasn't revealed]]. [[ClingyJealousGirl Uzume]] didn't take it well, though.

** Early on Len talks about a character called Proffesor Kokido in a popular game series known as [[Franchise/{{Pokemon}} Pocket]] [[VideoGame/YokaiWatch Youkai]].

* LateArrivalSpoiler: Much of the marketing material for Part 2 prominently featured one of the major plot-twists of Part 1, [[spoiler:more specifically when Len decides to escape the village and temporarily join Ayakashi and ends up fighting Shino during the first moments of Part 2.]]

* AncientConspiracy: [[spoiler:Kunai Organization, while it originally started out as a BenevolentConspiracy, it eventually turned into a malevolent one and has been controlling the world governments from the shadows for an untold number of years.]]
* ApocalypseHow: [[spoiler:Type 1 scenario happens at the end of Part 2. World economy falls down and large scale riots begin to happen across the globe as people panic after the existence of Ayakashi has become common knowlege and they have begun to change the natural order of things to their liking. Kunai Organization uses this disruption to consolidate power and ends up taking over the whole planet.]]

* ChurchMilitant: Subverted by Kunai Organization. Despite what it might look like at first glance, the organization is actually secular and believes that the gods were humanity's precursors, rather than divine beings.
* ConspiracyThriller: The story becomes one by the end of the Part 2 [[spoiler:as the main characters begin to uncover the massive global conspiracy that is Kunai Organization]]

* CrapsaccharineWorld: The world, at first glance, looks like regular Modern day Japan with fantastical elements added in, only for it to turn out that there is a very real possibility for an end of the world scenario that is near impossible to stop for good. We also learn that there is a very real case of systematic racism practiced by the Japanese and presumably other governments around the world where people have to suffer for crimes their ancestors committed thousands of years ago. [[spoiler:Things only get worse in part 2 as we find out that much of the world is ruled by an AncientConspiracy that has orchestrated the Ayakashi-Kunai war for thousands of years in order to hide their plans and take over the planet. And if that wasn't bad enough, the ending has the world turning into a genuine CrapsackWorld with Kunai Organization ruling a post-apocalyptic world with an iron fist.]]

* DarkestHour: Ending of Chapter Six [[spoiler:all sealing stones have been broken and Ayakashi victory is almost certain, Tsuchimikado and Mitsurugi have turned out to be traitors, Morita, Yoshimura, Miyata and most of the Capital branch's members are dead, Ruka will have to abandon Shino after killing Tsuchimikado and betraying the organization and Uzume is preparing to do her ritual without Len being able to do anything to stop her thanks to her broken leg.]]

* EarnYourHappyEnding: [[spoiler:Downplayed; all the main characters are ultimately survive and are able to resolve their personal issues, but rest of the planet [[TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt doesn't fair so well]].]]

** Early on Len talks about a character called Proffesor Kokido in a popular game series known as [[Franchise/Pokemon Pocket]] [[VideoGame/YokaiWatch Youkai]].

* AllMythsAreTrue: Or rather, all religions are different interpretations of the same events. Myth/NorseMythology is specifically stated to be an alternate interpretation of the age of gods several times [[spoiler:and the evil god of the underworld that the Ayakashi are trying to bring back to the visible world actually turns out to be [[WorldTree Yggdrasil]] that is protected by [[Literature/TheBible eleven angels]]]].

* CueTheRain: As the DarkestHour comes around at the end of Chapter 10, it suddenly starts raining.

* DarkestHour: Ending of Chapter 10 [[spoiler:all sealing stones have been broken and Ayakashi victory is almost certain, Tsuchimikado and Mitsurugi have turned out to be traitors, Morita, Mitsurgi, Miyata and most of the Capital branch's members are dead, Ruka will have to abandon Shino after killing Tsuchimikado, Uzume is preparing to do her ritual without Len being able to do anything to stop her thanks to her broken leg.]]

* LateArrivalSpoiler: Much of the marketing material for Part 2 prominently featured one of the major plot-twists of Part 1, [[spoiler: specifically when Len decides to escape the village and temporarily join Ayakashi and ends up fighting Shino during the first moments of Part 2.]]

* UrbanFantasy: Story is set on modern day Kyoto with an secret organization and the government attempting to fight against various entities from Japanese Mythology.

* AllMythsAreTrue: Or rather, all ancient religions are different interpretations of the same events. Myth/NorseMythology is specifically stated to be an alternate interpretation of the age of gods several times.

* GoodParents: Shino's and Uzume's parents who treat Len as if she was their third daughter. They have no problem with housing Len for the immediate future, are [[OpenMindedParent open minded about both their daughters being in a relationship with another girl]] and after Len finds out that her parents have vanished, their mother tries to do the best she can to help Len find out what happened to them. Their dad on the other hand has joined the front lines to [[spoiler:[[PapaWolf protect Uzume from having to sacrifice herself]]]].

** Sana calls her special attack in beach volleyball [[Franchise/PrettyCure Cure]] [[BreadEggsMilkSquick Guillotine]].

* CrapsaccharineWorld: The world, at first glance, looks like regular Modern day Japan with fantastical elements added in, only for it to turn out that there is a very real possibility for an end of the world scenario that is near impossible to stop for good. [[spoiler:Things only get worse in part 2 as we find out that much of the world is ruled by an AncientConspiracy that has orchestrated the Ayakashi-Kunai war for thousands of years in order to hide their plans and take over the planet. And if that wasn't bad enough, the ending has the world turning into a genuine CrapsackWorld with Kunai Organization ruling a post-apocalyptic world with an iron fist.]]

* DysfunctionJunction: Let's just say that all of the main characters and a good portion of the supporting cast have either traumatic pasts or go through a hellish TraumaCongaLine over the events of the game, if not both.

* RealEventFictionalCause: [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1923_Great_Kant%C5%8D_earthquake 1923 Great Kanto Earthquake]] is explained to have been the result of one of the regalia breaking during the Great Taisho Calamity.

* CoolSword: While all of them aren't technically swords, the Divine Swords certainly still count.

* AntiVillain: Tsuchigumo is trying to fight for the freedom of his people who have been shunned away from the society and are living in horrid conditions for actions they committed over 2000 years ago. Both Len and Sarume admit that they understand his plight, but have to fight against him because his victory would mean either having to sacrifice Uzume or]] the death of everyone living in the village or even EndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt.
* ApocalypseHow: [[spoiler:Type 1 scenario happens at the end of Part 2. World economy falls down and large scale riots begin to happen across the globe as people panic after the existence of Ayakashi has become common knowlege. Kunai Organization uses this disruption to consolidate power and ends up taking over the whole planet.]]

* GenreShift: The story starts out as an UrbanFantasy SliceOfLife work, but eventually transforms into a ConspiracyThriller.

* RayOfHopeEnding: [[spoiler:Part 2 ends with the Kunai Organization taking over the planet and the complete collapse of global economy and infrastructure, but the main characters have survived it and we also learn that Len is capable of changing fate and thus maybe able to bring down the Kunai Organization in the future.]]

Ese Len is an OrdinaryHighSchoolStudent living in Kyoto with an extraordinary power to detect other peoples presence [[WhatKindOfLamePowerIsHeartAnyway which she finds to be completely useless]]. One day Len is visiting a shopping mall, when her long lost childhood friend, Sarume Shinonome, approaches her out of nowhere and tells her to abandon both her life and the town she's living in. Sarume takes Len to a secret village near Kyoto and Len finds out that Sarume is working for a secret organization called Kunai who are tasked with defending the world against the supernatural forces of [[{{Youkai}} Ayakashi]]. As it turns out, Kunai Organization is very interested in utilizing Len's seemingly useless powers in their fight and Len reluctantly decides to join them on a trial basis and she is given a Divine Sword, a powerful weapon from the Age of Gods only certain individuals are capable of wielding. Len is soon thrown in the middle of a war she never wanted to be part of, questioning if the Ayakashi she's fighting are as evil as everyone says them to be.

* GunsAreWorthless: Downplayed; firearms are unable to harm more powerful Ayakashi such as Foxes, which can only be harmed by Divine Swords, but are still highly effective against weaker types like Onis and Crows.
* LovecraftLite: Themes of hopelessness, inability to fight fate and an unstoppable cosmic force are there, [[spoiler:but the main characters refuse to give in to the pessimism and cynicism, even after the world around them collapses and its implied that Len might still be able to save the world later on.]]

* ArtisticLicenseReligion: Albeit self-admittedly. A disclaimer when opening the game states that this is in full effect when it comes to depictions of Myth/JapaneseMythology.
* BeachEpisode: Parodied in Part 2 when the girls head for the pool and we get to see them all in swim suits... only to turn out that everyone is SuperDeformed for the duration of the scene.

* DarkerAndEdgier: Part 2 significantly ramps up from the first one in both [[BloodierAndGorier blood and gore]] as well as dark themes from the first one.

* LovecraftLite: Themes of hopelessness to fight fate and an unstoppable cosmic force are there, [[spoiler:but the main characters refuse to give in to the pessimism and cynicism, even after the world around them collapses and its implied that Len might still be able to save the world later on.]]

* YuriGenre: An example combining elements Yuri with FightingSeries, UrbanFantasy and SliceOfLife works.

* CharacterOutlivesActor: Len's seiyuu, Mochi Yomogi, died before the voice work for the second part was done and she was instead replaced by Anzu Hana. Ending of the english version of the first part and both versions of the second part [[InMemoriam contain a memorial dedicated to her at the end]].

* GunsAreWorthless: Downplayed; firearms are unable to harm more powerful Ayakashi such as Foxes, which can only be harmed by Divine Swords, but are still highly effective against weaker types of Ayakashi like Onis and Crows.
* MacGuffinSuperPerson: Uzume is the only real trump card that Kunai Organization has against the Ayakashi since she can seal them away from this world, however if she uses her power, she would most certainly die, which motivates the protagonists to attempt to defeat the ayakashi through conventional methods.
* ObliviousToLove: Len is completely blind to Uzume's crush on her, though this is mostly because she can't even imagine two girls being in love with each other and once she finds out about Ruka's and Sarume's relationship, she quickly notices Uzume's feelings towards her.

* VomitDiscretionShot: Len has some serious trouble holding her stomach and throws up quite a few times. This is obviously never seen on-screen though due to technical limitations.

Len is soon thrown in the middle of a war she never wanted to be part of, questioning if the Ayakashi are as evil as everyone says them to be and the village she's forced to live in starts to feel more and more like a GildedCage.

* GrayAndGrayMorality: Both the Kunai organization and Ayakashi are shown to be ruthless in pursuing their goals, but both have valid reasons to pursue their goals. According to Tsuchigumo, his people are living in absolutely horrid conditions because of actions they committed over 2000 years ago and they are trying to fight for their freedom, but as Tsuchimikado points out, Ayakashi victory would mean that the God of the Underworld would return to earth and for all we know it could be so big that it [[EndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt might require the whole planet as its living space, leaving no room for humankind to live in]].
