 * Action Girl: All Female playable characters fit in the criteria, even the NPC's Vipra, Lirica, Medea and Jeanne.
 * All the Worlds Are a Stage: In Chapter 45 - Clone Waltz, the stage is based in  The First Chapter at Kusanagi's lab, only more dark.
 * All There in the Manual: The game offers an Encyclopedia (referred as Diary), and is pretty helpful to know what happened to some characters.
 * Amazing Technicolor Battlefield:  Pandemonium's Stage . In Chapter 46 - The End of a Myth.
 * Armed Legs: Cornelia has her heels with guns due to the fact that she used to go in a flying bike in her game.
 * Ascended Extra: Angela and Johnny from Dreamers of the Road, Ike Taylor and Glen Minto from World Calamity Overdrive, Merlina from The Adventures of Vanessa series are this.
 * Assist Character: Pair and Solo Units can be this for other units. And for add more to the flavor, Vanessa Summons her team, Cadenza Summons Taka, Ruby and Gespenst, Yana summons her mentor Sabine and Sky summons Medea and Jeanne.
 * Background Music Override: Happens in Chapters 41 through 43. With Song of Flames, Final Phantom and Legion overriding all the songs.
 * Badass: Everyone here is, including the rivals.
 * Badass Crew: Everyone is in own separate ways, Chapters that turn them into the full Badass Army are in the last two chapters and the finale.
 * Badass Normal: Many of the characters are normal humans, such as Kira, Xavier, Oliver, the Neo Formula Racing characters, etc.
 * Badass Pacifist: Lumina is the best example, followed by Vanessa and Milo.
 * Bag of Sharing: The Items you won or purchased through Mark, Elise and/or Tatiana can be used in any Chapter.
 * Battle Couple: Many to count, is thirty. (Well, Twenty four)
 * Berserk Button: Happens many times.
 * Big Damn Heroes: Happens many times, but particularly when  Marcel single handles the defeat of many Valeria Clones in Chapter 34 - Plan to Eradicate The Clones.
 * Big Bad: The Warriors of Chaos, or so you think...  The "innocent" Doctor Kusanagi wasn't really harmless after all, Pandemonium.
 * Big Door: The portal to The Lair of Darkness at the end of Chapter 39.
 * Big Good: This time for unanimity of the cast as of Chapter 35,  The Time Masters are this, and Dr. Kusanagi...  Well, not so much for the latter.
 * Big, Thin, Short Trio: Rocky, Jayce and Lina.
 * Bittersweet Ending: While the ending is very cheery and everyone is returning to their places of origins, some of them felt that they were used by  Kusanagi's and Pandemonium's  twisted plan, the Warriors of Chaos  being Killed was their destiny after all . But also the antagonist  Kusanagi  suffered a very bad beating from  Van's fellow Time Abysses only known as Geppetto, Paula and Rage/Reiji.
 * Blood Knight: Everyone, albeit in different grades. Anne, Valeria, Keith and Cadenza are only 2/10 of the examples.
 * Bloodier and Gorier: As Valeria lampshades in Chapter 35 at the start, were her battle against  Marcel  was more carnage-ish than standard thanks to the bloody-themed mooks.
 * Boss-Only Level: Chapter 46 is this, with oddly no mooks.
 * Brainwashed and Crazy:  Poor Lancelot in the end of Chapter 39 suffers an Heroic BSOD and sides with the bad guys, You only have 11 turns to defeat him and returning into his senses . (Thanks, Hell Stinger and Ba'al).
 * Angela in the earlier chapters as she wasn't fully awaken or repaired yet to be less harmless.
 * The Cameo: Many mentions the other not-seen characters in the Crossover, for example, Vanessa brings her friends, Lenka the fairy, Chip the dog and the goddess Decade, basically, the Time Masters presence in this game, and Lumina mentions Galileo.
 * Cast Herd: The characters are divided in their own groups, since Chapter 23, however, you can do your own teams. Albeit some exceptions are the blocked pairs for plot reasons.
 * Character Development: Lucas the protagonist goes from a skill-less pacifist young boy from a master of the sword and more confident in himself, Marie goes from a cold-hearted assassin to a more open girl, and Anne goes from an emotionless girl to a more emotional girl, Kusanagi in the other hand is losing his sanity... The Crossover characters many have their development from the games.
 * Chekhov's Gun: Lucas' Sword, Marie's Jewel, and Anne's Medal are important into the story, look at Chapter 34.
 * The Chessmaster: Cadenza as in her game, Elaine as in Encore +,  Donovan, Kusanagi too.
 * Cloning Blues: The classic Valeria Clones, and the Entire point of  Chapter 45.
 * Crossover: The 10th one and the 4th in the All-Stars Label (Counting Battle X Battle, a Wii U Exclusive title).
 * Darkest Hour:  Chapter 46 Starts: Lucas, Marie and Anne are alone in a Blank space after Kusanagi's transformation, the rest of the heroes are gone, However, thanks to The Warriors of Chaos' call, the heroes are back slowly.

 * Dynamic Entry: Many of them, but special mention goes to  Roxana, which she entered to the mansion destroying enemies with only using the door in Chapter 15.
 * Disney Death:  The Meyer-Blake brothers supposedly die In Chapter 37 when they defeated Einsteintin, and at the following chapter they return safe and sound thanks to their video game logic.


 * Also the Re: Vengeance heroes in the end of Chapter 40, they return for Ch. 42
 * Caesar dies in Chapter 38, returns in Chapter 43.
 * Disney Villain Death:  Shadow's fate at the end of Chapter 33.
