Line 31:
* [[Black Magician Girl]]: Charlotte and Loretta.
* [[Bloody Murder]]: <s>"The Art of Blood!"</s> [[Engrish|"Blood Art Technique!"]]
* [[Bonus Boss]]: Whip's Memory, which takes the form of {{spoiler|[[Castlevania Rondo of Blood|Richter]] [[Castlevania Symphony of the Night|Belmont]]}} and serves as the training needed to unlock {{spoiler|the Vampire Killer's [[Infinity
* [[Boobs of Steel]]: Stella has the biggest boobs of the game, and she's also the strongest female character (and the only female in the storyline who uses physical attacks a lot).
* [[Brainwashed and Crazy]]: {{spoiler|Stella and Loretta}}.
Line 50:
** The music leading to {{spoiler|Dracula's throne}} is the music for the approach to Dracula's throne in ''[[Castlevania III]]''.
* [[Cute Witch]]: Charlotte, but [[Just a Kid|she doesn't like to be identified as such]]. Loretta may count too, as an evil version, though. And the mook witches.
* [[
* [[Dark Action Girl]]: Stella
* [[Disc One Nuke]]: The Nintendo WFC shop mode allows you to obtain powerful equipment (such as the Rose Stem Whip) much sooner than you'd get them offline. Ditto for local wireless shop mode, if you happen to know someone who also has the game is further along in their save file than you.
Line 63:
* [[Elegant Gothic Lolita]]: The vampire twins, each with [[Mismatched Eyes]].
* [[Emotionless Girl]]: Loretta
* [[Expy]]: The Lecarde sisters are [[Rozen Maiden|Suiseiseki and Souseiseki]]. [[Sibling Yin
* [[Four Is Death]]: Death himself has [[Fridge Brilliance|4444 HP]], which has been a trend for him throughout the [[Metroidvania]] titles.
* [[Game Breaking Bug]]: Aside from the occasional freeze glitches, there's a glitch that makes the game [[Unwinnable]] if you skip the dialogue after you battle Death.
Line 75:
* [[Homage]]: The Lecarde sisters, as mentioned previously. Neither of them [[Verbal Tic|says]] "[[Memetic Mutation|Desu]]", though. That would be [[The Grim Reaper|a different character altogether]].
* [[An Ice Person]]: Loretta specializes in Ice magic. {{spoiler|While her method of attack is indeed ice-elemental in Sisters mode, you don't get access to either of the sisters' boss form attacks}}.
* [[I Let You Win]]: Death claims to have held back. If so, that [[One
* [[Just a Kid]]: [[Running Gag]] with Charlotte (16) who doesn't like being treated like a child.
** It should be noted {{spoiler|that once cured with the Sanctuary spell, Stella refers to Charlotte as Miss Charlotte, most likely in gratitude of being cured. Charlotte doesn't mind}}.
Line 85:
* [[Lighter and Softer]]: Significantly so compared to most of the other Castlevania games in spite of being set during the disastrous second World War, if you give it an observation.
** Especially when compared to [[Symphony of the Night]], the first Metroidvania. Note that Alucard is a loner all the way through that game, while in this game Jonathan and Charlotte are trusted partners all the way through.
* [[Line
* [[Looks Like Orlok]]: Brauner fits this vampire design, despite his dignity, formal attire, and [[High Class Glass|monocle]].
* [[Love Makes You Evil]]: Brauner was driven to evil when his daughters were killed in [[World War I]].
Line 91:
* [[Mana Shield]]: When your partner takes damage, it goes to MP. If you run out of MP this way, your partner goes [[Party in My Pocket|back to your pocket]]. {{spoiler|An equippable item allows you to set it back to HP.}}
* [[Mismatched Eyes]]: Stella and Loretta have one green and one red eye {{spoiler|while under Brauner's control}}, but which eye is which color is different for each sister.
* [[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero]]: {{spoiler|After Jonathan and Charlotte defeat Brauner, Death comes in and finishes him off, revealing that the last obstacle to Dracula's resurrection has been removed}}.
** {{spoiler|To be fair, Brauner was going to destroy the world if he was left unchecked, so it's more of a "damned if you, damned if you don't" situation.}}
* [[Nice Job Fixing It, Villain]]: {{spoiler|Brauner made two grievous errors: First, he didn't keep Stella and Loretta on a tight enough leash and second, if he had to brainwash them, than he should not have allowed them to enter his headquarters.}}
* [[Non
* [[Not Completely Useless]]: Sanctuary and Undead Killer. The former takes a long time to cast and the other does relatively little damage, but the former is required to get to the endgame, and both can render [[Goddamned Bats|the Red Skeletons and Red Armours]] [[Deader Than Dead]].
** Undead Killer is also arguably the second best whip to the fully powered Vampire Killer, being mostly similar but downgraded in power and with the aforementioned Red Skeleton and Red Armour killing ability.
Line 100:
** You can get even by casting Tempest near the said enemies to blow up their skirts in turn.
* [[Party in My Pocket|Partner In My Pocket]]: Apparently, this isn't just visual shorthand. Go stand next to Vincent, put away your partner and hold Up for a while. Likely related to how [[Castlevania III Draculas Curse|Trevor]] does it.
* [[Pimped
* [[Pink Means Feminine]]: Stella's dress is this with some blue.
* [[Pink Girl, Blue Boy]]: Inverted, Jonathan's outfit and menu options are red/pink, while Charlotte's outfit ([[Panty Shot|including her underwear]]) and menu items are blue.
* [[Plucky Comic Relief]]: The monk-turned-shopkeeper Vincent Dorin tries to fill this role. Let's put it this way: he is bitten by a vampire and slowly succumbs to a similar fate, and it is ''played for laughs''.
* [[Portal Picture]]: Each portrait leads to a different world.
Line 116:
** The casting time can be remedied with the Sorceress Crest, obtained after getting Charlotte all of her spells. In a new game plus, this can be helpful with the {{spoiler|Stella and Loretta fight,}} especially if two happen to be equipped.
* [[Say My Name]]: When switching partners. "Jonathan!" "Charlotte!" "Jonathan!" "Charlotte!"
** Or, {{spoiler|[[Onee
** [http://tasvideos.org/1437M.html "Jonasan! Sharotto! Jonasan! Sharotto! Jonasan! Sharotto!"]
* [[Shifting Sand Land]]: The two desert areas, which combine this with [[Build Like an Egyptian]].
Line 139:
** On top of that, in the final boss battle, {{spoiler|Death offers up his power to enhance the "not fully resurrected" Dracula. Dracula absorbs this power with a cry of "[[Castlevania Symphony of the Night|Soul Steal!!]]"}}
** Not a Konami game, but still. The Axe Bomber is pound-for-pound the Cross Bomber, one of Neptuneman's finishers in [[Kinnikuman]].
* [[Shut UP, Hannibal]]: Jonathan to Brauner
{{quote| {{spoiler|I don't care! Being a family means being connected by heart. Ties of blood and soul is insignificant. When I learned why my father did what he did, I understood. You used a curse to manipulate your "dear daughters"! Now THAT'S sad!}}}}
* [[Sibling Seniority Squabble]]: While Stella and Loretta are twins, Stella was born first and acts as the older sister. After Stella {{spoiler|breaks down sobbing as their father passes on}}, Loretta promises to become stronger so she will not have to take as much of the burden.
