* [[Fridge Brilliance]]: Pop {{spoiler|suddenly becomes a Sage just before the final battle.}} The bios show that Pop has an extremely high luck stat, and he serves as the [[Butt Monkey]] of the team, similar to the Jester/Gadabout class from the games. {{spoiler|This was the only class that naturally possessed the ability to become a sage without a special item.}}

* [[Game Breaking Injury]] After receiving constant injuries and still pushing his body beyond its limits, Hyunkel ends up permanently crippled just BEFORE the final battle. And no, he doesn't get better.

* [[Generation Xerox]] (emphasized by the fact that Maamu's father was on Aban's team and that princess Flora is practically just an older Leona.)

* [[Literal Split Personality]] A variation. The ritual magic that Hadler used to create the Shinei Kidan also imprinted them with fragments of own personality. Though, he thinks of it more like a case of [[Like Father Like Son]]

* [[Made of Explodium]] The Shinei Kidan explode when they die, and there's a good reason to it [[Fridge Brilliance|that's not explicitly stated in the Manga]]: Since their bodies are made of the extremely rare and powerful Orihalcon, it would be disadvantageous for them if the heroes could scavenge their remnants to forge some new weapons and/or armor with them.

* [[Shrinking Violet]] Merle fits this trope like a glove. The fact that she is Maamu's polar opposite and how she is painfully aware of how Pop only has eyes for Maamu makes it hurt even more.

* [[Shout Out]] this troper has trouble in ''not'' thinking Hyunkel is something from ''[[Saint Seiya]]''. Seriously, look at his armours and how he equips them. He even looks a bit like Hyoga.

** He was dubbed by Phoenix Ikki's former seiyuu [[Hideyuki Hori]]. Think about what army he is in charge of, and how many times he comes [[Back From the Dead]]. The connection is more than obvious.

** Dai and Baran's [[Kamehame Hadoken]]. There's even one instance where Dai shoots one, and the recipient of the blast sees the ghostly image of Baran standing behind him in the same pose, a [[Shout Out]] to how Gohan defeated Cell in [[Dragonball Z]].

* [[Sliding Scale of Idealism Versus Cynicism]] (with its emphasis on [[The Power of Friendship]] and its easy [[Heel Face Turn|conversion of villains]], the series is close to the far end of the idealism side. At the root of the conflict with Vearn and his demon army, who've been living in less than ideal conditions while humans were having it good, from their point of view.
