{{quote|'''Taokaka:''' ''[To Litchi]'' Hey Booby Lady!

'''Taokaka:''' ''[To Noel]'' Are you sure you're a lady? }}

{{quote|'''Litchi:''' Tao! Are you alright?!

'''Taokaka:''' ''[After being electrocuted in front of Litchi, Makoto, Tsubaki, and Noel]'' Uh... I see three sets of boobies and... one cutting board.

* [[Character Development]]: Quite a bit of it too, particularly in Continuum Shift.

* [[Chekhov's Armoury]]: Shows up in the fifth episode of ''Teach Me Miss Litchi Reloaded'' in ''Continuum Shift''. The missing Nox Nyctores will undoubtedly show up in the sequel.

* [[Combo Breaker]]: Barrier/Break Burst. Every character also has a counter command usable while blocking, but it uses up 50 Heat.

* [[Conservation of Ninjutsu]]: The explanation of how seithr works means this is literally a fundamental law of the universe in ''BlazBlue; there's only so much in a given area for anyone to use.

* [[Foregone Conclusion]]: The prequel novel Blazblue Phase 0. {{spoiler|If you've played the games you already know whats going to happen. The Black Beast will be unleashed and nearly cause the end of the world. A group of people whom will be known as the Six Heroes will rise up and lead the remnants of humanity to challenge and eventually slay the beast. Hakumen is Jin. Bloodedge will sacrifice himself to save Jubei. Caelica will watch over the Black Beast's remains, but while we know what will happen, we don't know how it happened, which the novel will explain.}}

* [[Foreshadowing]]: Hakumen's Shipuu (Squall) [[Limit Break|Distortion Drive]] is a slower, stronger version of Jin's Touga Hyojin (Arctic Dagger) Distortion Drive.

** Lambda plays her "Nox Nyctores detected..." intro against [[Badass Normal]] Bang. That can't be right?

** A fake (but still made by AKSYS) trailer for A '''BlazBlue''' movie had Litchi end up turning evil. Guess what happened in Continuum Shift..

* [[Genius Ditz]]: Yes, Makoto likes doing things like [[Big Eater|eating way too much food]] and [[Adult Child|climbing trees for exercise.]] She also went to the Military Academy ''on scholarship'' and joined the Intelligence Bureau at the Librarium{{spoiler|, not to mention playing as a double agent for Sector Seven}}.

* [[Genre Relaunch]]: Along with ''[[Video Game/Street Fighter 4|Street Fighter 4]]'', it's responsible for reviving the 2D [[Fighting Game]] genre.

* [[Gratuitous English]]: The declaration at the start of every battle: ''The Wheel of Fate is turning. Rebel 1: '''Action!'''''

** Then Continuum Shift II adds even more characters, but surprisingly its Score Attack mode is reduced to fighting 10 normal characters. The reason for this is (unfortunately) simple: CS II has a second Score Attack mode named Unlimited Mars mode, where every enemy you fight is in Unlimited mode. To rephrase: that's almost a dozen characters, all of which are [[SNK Boss]]es.

** Continuum Shift II Extend downsizes the escalation by merely adding one additional character as well as adding more moves to the already-broken Unlimited characters.

* [[Significant Birth Date]]: ''Noel'''s birthday is on Dec 25 (Christmas). [[Irony|Ragna's birthday is Mar 3 (Girl's Day)]]. [[Official Couple|Jin's birthday is Feb 14 (Valentine's Day), coupled with Tsubaki being born on March 14 (White Day)]]. Rachel the ''vampire'' is Oct 31 (Halloween). [[Idiot Hero]] Taokaka is Feb 22 (World Thinking Day and Cat's day in Japan). [[Anime Chinese Girl]] Litchi is [[Tanabata|Jul 7 (Chinese Valentine's Day)]]. Cute little boy Carl is May 5 (Children's Day). Kokonoe the ''scientist'' is Apr 18 (Invention Day). Hazama is Apr 29 (International Dance Day). Nu was born on ''New'' Year's Eve. Finally, Bang was born on New Year's Day, though whether or not this is symbolic is debatable.

* [[Silliness Switch]]: The joke ending for each character's story mode.

* [[Simultaneous Arcs]]: Continuum Shift's canon paths.
