Despite being Darker and Edgier than Rakenzarn Tales, Frontier Story still has its share of humor.
- When they first arrived at Hoshido, Makoto is terrified of Rhajat. Makoto asks Lion for advice who doesn't see any harm from having Rhajat around. Just when Makoto mentions her name, Rhajat sneaks up behind him.Lion: Okay, I think I see your point.Makoto: (Somebody, save me now.)
- Then comes the part when Rhajat officially joins the party.
Lion: Well, good luck handling your creepy fangirl, Naegi.Makoto: Thanks for the encouragement... - Lemon Magician Girl in general. Sure, she can be annoying but she can be very funny.
- Even her debut scene, there's a lot to laugh about.
Lion: If you're into cute girls in magician get-ups, I wouldn't blame you...Makoto: NO! I'm not into that kind of fetish![...]- Whenever Lemon Magician Girl interacts with Ifrit, they're practically doing the Boke and Tsukkomi Routine. Ifrit plays the Straight Man while LMG plays the Wise Guy. Every single time she does or says something stupid, Ifrit slaps her.
- Even though No. 9 is a ferocious antagonist, he is also the source of many of the story's dark humor.
- When the party meets No. 9 again at Boundless Province, they find him... chatting with some adventurers, ranting over a world for its ridiculous censorship.
- Even his dialogue you can't help but laugh.
No. 9: (Aiming a shotgun at the adventurers) Really, how dumb are you? I mean, do you really trust a guy who look like this? - This version of Makoto Naegi is pretty much the Meta Guy and Genre Savvy.
- He's completely aware of the danger of having his own harem. Should Lemon Magician Girl be his first Summon, he laments that most of his Summons are either cute or sexy girls. Then we get this golden line:
- Makoto isn't exactly happy to have Lemon Magician Girl either. He'll comment that if there's ever a romance between him and her, he's done.
- The good news? One of his Summons happens to be from Queen's Blade. The bad news? It's Airi. The other good news? She's the first to kiss him. The other bad news? It's her draining his life energy until she's fully re-energized. This near-death experience traumatizes poor Makoto... All the while laments that Airi basically steals his first kiss.
- There's one moment where Makoto has a private conversation with Suki, warning her of her bleak future. Suki is touched by Makoto's deed for risking his job as a Realmwalker just for her and her friends. Unfortunately, this heartwarming moment is ruined by the timely arrival of Naegi's friends and Suki's friend. Both parties mistake Naegi for confessing his love to Suki. Their reaction is priceless.
- Rhajat is NOT happy.
- Raiga happily cheers for Naegi.
- Lion calls Naegi "You little devil"
- Athena is amused that Carol essentially has rival for Suki's affection.
Carol & Evelyn: *giving Makoto the Death Glare*Makoto: Oh, come on! Don't look at me like that!
