Seth really shouldn't leave his princess hanging like that.

Arcade Mode

• Vatista is a walking punchline, due to her terrible social skills. A good majority of the cutscenes featuring her are comedy gold.
  • In her Arcade mode, her first opponent is Hyde, who is freaked out by her not wearing clothes. Later on, she strips again right before encountering Orie, believing only Hyde has an issue with it.
  • In said encounter with Orie, she then proceeds to pretend she's a perfectly normal girl. Orie, however, doesn't buy it for a second.
  Vatista: I take it you have no more issues with my garments, or lack thereof? I am but a simple, unassuming, harmless human being. I do not intend to capture or detain you. [...] I am impressed that you saw through my disguise. Was there a weak link in my costume...?
  • The issue with her being naked in front of Hyde becomes a Running Gag, where every time the two of them are with another girl, Vatista asks him if he forced that girl to put on clothes too.
  • Vatista also tells Nanase about it, leading to Nanase to interpret her words horribly.
  Hyde (in an Imagine Spot): Hey, just put on these DEVIANT, SUGGESTIVE clothes! I need you... to satisfy my lust. Stay quiet and do what I say! If you keep this up, you'll never regain your dignity.
• Another moment near the end of Nanase's arcade story. Hyde attempts to invoke Might Makes Right on Nanase when all of her tall tales about him start piling up. She and most of the other girls present are dumbstruck at his bizarre handling of the situation. Vatista, meanwhile, has no idea what's going on. The soundtrack even stops for a moment to lampshade the Insane Troll Logic.
  Hyde: A-Ah, that's it! You have to fight me! Whoever wins, is right. That's the rule of the "Night"...
  Nanase: ...
  Linne: ...
  Orie: ...
  Vatista: ...?
• During Gordeau's arcade scenario, he crosses paths with Yuzuriha, who immediately tries to pick a fight with him. In the process she not only chews him out for having his bellybutton exposed, but also manages to completely fuck up his name and nickname. He isn't particularly impressed to say the least.
  Yuzuriha: I thought I'd made myself quite clear... as long as I'm alive, you're not welcome here. And as for that crimson person, why do you want them? Um, what was your name again? Gordo the exhibition... ist?
  Gordeau: (with a hilariously pissed off look on his face) ...
• After Seth defeats Linne in his Arcade ladder, he proceeds to restrain her... by wrapping her up in a futon and hanging her in a tree. At the end, he just leaves her there, as she shakes around trying to break free.
• Eltnum's entire Arcade story, where she lampshades the hell out of her status as a Guest Fighter, and completely obliterates the fourth wall.
• At the end of Phonon's arcade mode, when she realizes she needs to make certain Nanase didn't see her, she drags her body to the mall and dons a masquerade ball mask to sell the illusion of a stranger helping her. Not only that, but she also puts makeup on Meuniel, too!
  • Additionally, her disguise was so bad that afterwards, it's revealed even Nanase could see through it.
• Pretty much the entirety of Londrekia's pre-fight interaction with Phonon and Nanase. Londrekia's social awkwardness ends up getting the better of him and Phonon starts accusing the poor guy of being some sort of foreign pervert. However, the best part of all of this is Nanase. Who, in a far cry from her previous characterization, completely misinterprets Phonon's accusations.

Under Night In-birth II Sys:Celes

• Vatista's Arcade ending has her appearing before Hyde and Linne butt-naked with Hyde trying to once again get her to put something on. Unfortunately, Linne wasn't the only one who was helping him find Vatista as the other girls Hyde knows walk in on the two and get the wrong idea, repeating the scenario from Nanase's arcade mode in the base game, especially when Wagner of all people ended up having an interesting history with Hyde.
• Londrekia's ending has him sacrificing himself to utilize his ultimate technique to destroy the Abyss turning the area into Antarctica in the process. Wagner witnesses the aftermath and assumes the worst, paying her final respects to Londrekia upon a single white rose blooming in the icedrift. Cut to after the credits when a barely alive Londrekia rises from the fallen snow, same flower perched on top of his head, freaking Wagner the hell out.
• Merkava's good ending has him reverting back to a human form; without any article of clothing mind. Hyde of course is the first person Merkava? comes across.
• Continuing her streak of having No Fourth Wall in her arcade stories, the first thing Eltnum does in her story is complain about the fact she isn't playable in Type Lumina, before deciding that if French Bread didn't put her in, she'll do it herself by getting back to her dimension.

Gameplay

• When Mika enters a fight, she trips and falls on her face, before nonchalantly getting back up and getting the first round started.
  • If she wins a match, Mika will accidentally toss one of her giant gauntlets into the air, causing it to fall on her head and leaving her with one hell of a Cranial Eruption.
• When customizing your player plate, there is one series of plate options dubbed "With X", which all depict the female characters lying down and staring at the player. Late[st] upped the ante by including the male characters as well... even Waldstein and Merkava.
  • Exe:Late[cl-r] obviously adds one for Londrekia, who has the goofiest and most confused looking smile you could imagine.
• The time-out lose animations for the most part show the losing character either shocked, upset or disappointed with their failure, but not explicitly angry, with one exception. That exception hilariously turns out to be Gordeau, who angrily shakes his fist while giving his opponent a pretty mean looking Death Glare before turning his back on them in a huff. For such a carefree and cheery guy, it's pretty jarring yet amusing seeing him react like that.

Chronicle Mode

• Speaking of Mika, her entire Chronicle Mode story. To elaborate, Mika begs Silvaria to let her go to Japan and help out her friends but she refuses after Mika throws one hell of a tantrum during it and proceeds to throw her into a "Special Reflection" room (Read: Solitary confinement). Mika ends up deciding to sneak out of the supposedly inescapable room and heads off to an airport, but ends up being chased around by security looking for her. She manages to break into a plane and falls asleep on a first class seat... Only for the plane to be shot down by an unknown opposing faction and Mika barely escapes via parachute. Mika winds up finding herself on a desert island, makes an SOS signal and waits for about a week that she spends via goofing around, expecting Licht Kreis to come and collect her. After getting tired of waiting, Mika decides to escape herself by building a raft, only to remember her rafting skills are terrible, she's just about to give up until she hears the disembodied voices of her grandparents, which mainly just irks her . In the end, she gets picked up by a coastal patrol ship that goes to arrest her on behalf of being an immigrant, she manages to make a clean escape and winds up on the shores of Japan. Oh, and did we mention that this is all shown through Mika's absolutely horrendous drawings?
  • We finally see a glimpse of Silvaria the Zenith in person and we see how she puts up with Mika. While she is definitely the Strict But Fair type, she tends to go overboard just a tiny bit. One example being when she keeps Mika away from trying to get her mission confirmation report, how does she do it? By moving out of the way and elbowing the kid in the face of course, which, naturally, leads to a brief fight. There's not much else to mention the fact that she keeps the Special Reflection room protected by guard dogs. Oh, and woe betide anyone who dares break any of Adelheit's belongings or lie.
• During Gordeau's story, he reflects for a moment on the times where Chaos and Hilda have visited his bar and most of them have been quite negative. One example that he brings up in particular is when Chaos brought in a desk lamp to plug in and use to read and Hilda brought in a model train set. It really speaks volumes on Paradox as a whole and just how much Gord's business has tanked. The best part is that one can actually imagine what that scenario looked like.
• While the scene is mostly played seriously, Londrekia's rather... Over the top reaction to discovering that Wagner has left Kanzakai after the recent clash between Amnesia and Bankikai is certainly chuckle-worthy. It doesn't help that the music briefly stops just for this scene.
  Londrekia: "Regardless of why you folks are here, my mission of hunting Voids doesn't change. Do you mind letting her know that we will soon determine who is greater? I have no intention of losing, but I am ready to face her anytime she wants."
  Lex: "Unfortunately, the Void Hunter has left the country..."
  [Beat]
  Londrekia: "What?"
  Lex: "She went home. Left..."
  Londrekia: "WHAAAAAAT?!"
• Nanase's Chronicle story has her browsing the web in an attempt to research the Hollow Night after hearing her classmates talk about it. Her efforts direct her to a website, and while we don't see it or hear anything, her reaction to what she's looking at makes it very clear that it's a porn site. She also gets a bit... Annoyed when the teaser for the video she was watching ends.
• Hyde's Chronicle story has a particular moment that will surely bring a chuckle out of most people. When Hilda invites him into her private quarters in order to interrogate him on the Insulator and the Night Blade, Hyde decides to spill the beans and gets ready for a fight with Hilda. Hyde proceeds to summon the Insulator, only for it to vanish with a poof halfway through summoning it. What's truly hilarious about this is a comibnation of how Hyde's stern facial expression never changes aside from a small sweatdrop that rolls down his cheek and Hilda just looking at him smirking through the whole thing.
  • Even beforehand, his interactions with Linne in her story are just absurd. Hyde himself even at one point, mistook Linne for a boy before accidentally touching her in a bad place when trying to let her down from carrying her during a chase by a ruffian....cue her making him suffer out of her pure rage, and Hyde while under physical pain ends up begging for mercy.
• Orie: I'm not a potato.
• While the scene isn't meant to be funny, there's a moment where Strix expresses her desire to find Zohar and hopefully put the past behind them... And then either pierce her own vessel or deliver a swift punch to the face. Clearly, Strix is a firm believer in an eye for an eye^note No pun intended.
  Strix (Narrating): That is the only way I can save her... Mind you, she did destroy my Vessel, and I had to go through all that suffering. I may want to pay her back with my fist...

Meta/Non-Canon

• Incorrect UNIB Quotes, a Tumblr blog dedicated to rewriting dialogue from various media sources as if the cast of the game said them instead. Naturally, the comedy is built right in. In particular...
  • Hyde and Carmine reenacting a certain viral video.
  • Hyde attempts to call his mother on the phone, only for numerous other characters to make loud (and in the case of Yuzuriha, suggestive) noises, including Merkava banging pots and pans and screeching.
  • Hilda acting as a Shipper on Deck for Gordeau and Chaos. Enkidu doesn't see it at first, until their conversation really starts getting intimate.
  • Carmine channeling Abridged!Vegeta as he finds himself in a Mirror Match.
  "Is that me? Is that me stronger than me!? I'LL FUCKING KILL ME!"
  • A Running Gag on the blog sees Nanase's status as The Friend Nobody Likes being taken up to eleven.
  • Carmine/Wagner, and all of the Belligerent Sexual Tension and Slap-Slap-Kiss such a Crack Pairing would entail. Much to Mika's chagrin.
  Mika: "Carmine and Wagner? I don’t see it."
  Orie:...
  Mika: "Oh god, now I see it."
  Orie:...
  Mika: Orie help, I can’t stop seeing it!
  • When Linne attempts to lecture Hyde about being kind to strangers because you don't know what struggles they're going through, Hyde retorts that he saw her punch out a girl scout for not having Thin Mints.
  • Hyde and Vatista (who are frequently portrayed as a couple on this blog) are having an argument over the Monty Hall Problem, when Carmine bluntly suggests that the two of them should just bone. Hyde is of course furious, and spends forty minutes tearing into him for it. Come the following day, Nanase prepares to make her own attempt at resolving the issue only for Hyde to inform them both that Carmine's solution was the correct one all along.
  • Carmine attempts to commit Suicide by Cop...
  Londrekia: "This is a parking ticket..."
  • Uzuki is often depicted as the Only Sane Woman of Amnesia. In once instance, she tries giving them the dilemma of what to do when there aren't enough chairs for children, the results?
  Enkidu: "Have everyone stand."
  Gordeau: "Bring three more chairs."
  Chaos: "The best of the lot can sit down."
  Hilda: "Kill three."
