Line 64:
* [[Hammerspace]]: Justified. Shanoa's tattoos allow her to manifest weapons in her hands.
* [[Heroic Sacrifice]]: {{spoiler|Shanoa attempts this in the ending, but Albus takes her place instead.}}
* [[Hyper -Destructive Bouncing Ball]]: The ''Globus'' glyph sends out two of these. They can get very destructive in tight spaces and are one of the easiest ways to defeat the [[Demonic Spiders|Double Hammers and Weapon Masters]] in the [[Bonus Dungeon|Large Cavern]].
* [[The Jersey Devil]]: They're in Argila Swamp.
* [[Large Ham]]: {{spoiler|Barlowe after [[The Reveal]]. (DIE SHANOA!)}} Also, Albus. (OPTICAL SHOT! MAX SHOT!)
Line 71:
** One of the female villagers, in particular, is all but explicitly in love with Shanoa. She even makes her ''a wedding dress''.
* [[Lethal Chef]]: Played with in the case of Aeon. While his backstory shows him to be a lazy "chef" whose restaurants have all failed, Shanoa (his only customer at this point) doesn't seem to mind his cooking too much. Aeon's food items are also more cost-effective at healing than the potions.
* [[Linear Warriors, Quadratic Wizards]]: Shanoa is mostly spell-based compared to the mostly warrior-styled ''[[Castlevania]]'' heroes. She starts off with horrible attack power and what might be the least useful (if [[Awesome but Impractical|cool looking]]) backdash in the series. By the end, she can be so [[Game Breaker|brokenly loaded]], the game expects you to {{spoiler|take down the [[Final Boss|final boss]] as part of the timed boss rush mode.}}
** It probably has more to do with the diminished physical weapon choice, and a lot of the physical weapons aren't as useful as in previous games.
*** In a sense, the game pretty much forces you to actively use spells, because the physical stats are only two of the many that cover attack damage. You can still get them stronger by maxing out their attributes, but it is much easier to spam Nitesco to max out light damage than it is to run up close to the enemy to whack them in the face.
Line 120:
* [[Sexy Backless Outfit]]: Shanoa wears a backless dress, which is [[Justified Trope|necessary]] because she absorbs [[Instant Runes|Glyphs]] through a large and intricate tattoo on her back. ...For an [[Emotionless Girl]], she sure does lift up her hair sensually.
* [[Shoot the Dog]] / [[What Happened to The Mouse?]] / [[Left Hanging]]: {{spoiler|At the end, Shanoa saved the world. But what happened to her after that? She lost everything at the end. The last shot of her is in the forest near Castlevania's ruins.}} The game itself says she was never heard from again.
* [[Shout -Out]]: Goliath is basically a boss-monster-ified [[Fist of the North Star (Manga)|Raoh]], even reenacting his dying pose. Which makes him another classic [[Shonen Jump|Jump]] villain like [[Jo Jo's Bizarre Adventure (Manga)|Zephyr]] to [[Captain Ersatz|appear]] in the series.
** The requisite [[Gradius]] shout out occurs three times:
*** One of the villagers hums the first few notes of "Challenger 1985", the BGM of the first stage of the original ''Gradius''/
