** Xi however, pulls an even less subtle punch. Apparently, Accordion Hazard's explosion {{spoiler|was so strong it engulfed both crafts. With no hope of survival, they flew close to each other.}} The next shot is a single "soul" in the shape of a silver hawk flying away. Cue the credit roll.
* [[Dynamic Difficulty]]: ''Darius Gaiden'' has a nasty version of this. Each layer of stages has a default difficulty level; powering up your main shot will set the game difficulty to that level. It's recommended that you stop powering up after your fourth stage, as this keeps the last few stages managable...oh wait, you just died and now you have reduced power? Well, too bad for you, the difficulty level never goes down, so you have to stay powered down. Deal with it.
* [[Earthshattering Kaboom]]: In addition to a certain ''Darius Gaiden'' ending, the events preceding ''G-Darius'' involved a scuffle between Planet Amnelia and one of its moons, Blazar, over who should have jurisdiction over another moon, Mahsah. Someone on the Amnelian side got the [[Sarcasm Mode|bright idea]] to use a nightmarishly powerful weapon, [[Exactly What It Says Onon the Tin|All-]][[Deader Than Dead|Nothing]], to settle the dispute by ''obliterating Blazar''. It was this act, by the way, that alarmed the Thiima into their attempt to conquer Amnelia...
* [[Emotionless Girl]]: Lutia in the events before ''G-Darius'', thanks to the first Thiima attack killing off the rest of her family.
* [[Engrish]]: A lot, but most notoriously in the endings to ''Darius II'' and ''Darius Gaiden''.
* [[Exactly What It Says Onon the Tin]] - The boss "Red Crab" is...a red crab. And let's not even bother mentioning "Octopus" or "Cuttle Fish".
* [[Fail O'Suckyname]]: Some of the bosses have laughable names- [[Piranha Problem|Fatty Glutton]] especially comes to mind. Not so funny when he's one of the [[That One Boss|hardest bosses in the game]]! And then there's "My Home Daddy".
* [[Fake Difficulty]]: In ''Darius II'', your ship is scaled up in size from the original. Your enemies aren't.
Line 83:
* [[He Was Right There All Along]]: The Embryon from G-Darius. The background actually shows it being formed, while your character revolves around it destroying mooks.
* [[Homage]]: Darius Burst Another Chronicle has the ships from ''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FlW5uuPCSR0 Darius Force/Super Nova]'' and [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YMSkS_tuG6Y Darius Gaiden], among others. They play the same way as they did from their source games.
* [[Kill It Withwith Fire]]: Fire Fossil's preferred mode of attack is ''lots'' of incendiary weapons.
* [[Loose Canon]]: Twin and Force/Super Nova seams to have become this. Syvalion on the other hand always was.
* [[Meaningful Name]]: Pretty much every single boss. For example, the (insert adjective) Fossils are based off a coelacanth, a "living fossil".
Line 111:
** Darius Burst and Darius Burst After Chronicle has the Glutton bosses, who have a Mook [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rSAiJCWYGaY#t=10m14s attack that resembles] [[Space Invaders]].
* [[Space Whale]]: The recurring boss Great Thing (sperm whale) and Great Force (humpback whale) in ''Darius Force''.
* [[Stalked Byby the Bell]]: In ''Darius'', if you take too long to defeat a boss, cube-like enemies will appear on the ceiling and floor to harass you. However, skilled players can take advantage of them to milk [[Scoring Points|points]] from them.
* [[Turns Red]]: The bosses in ''Darius Gaiden'' and ''G-Darius'' take on a reddish hue when they are about to be destroyed. Most of them also change their attack pattern to a more vicious one.
* [[The Unfought]]: Whomever or whatever the actual leader of the Belser Army is, though Curious Chandelier in ''Gaiden'' is implied to be that leader...or something, it's [[Engrish|not]] quite clear.
