{{tropelist}}
* [[Art Shift]], from 16-bit (and higher) graphics to 8-bit graphics, for [[Flash Back]] and [[Old Shame]] purposes.
* [[Continuity Reboot]]: Used upon Richter's request by God (i.e. the author). No, there is no such thing as a fourth wall in this comic, no sir.
* [[Canon
* [[Dedication]]: One of the strips is dedicated to the memory of the events of 9/11/2001.
* [[Evil Counterpart]]: Richter-clone. Brought when Richter was very drunk one night.
* [[Exactly What It Says

* [[Filler]]: The Grudgematch strips, among others.
Line 24 ⟶ 23:
* [[Improbable Weapon User]]: Cornell, whose beer (especially the stuff that he got from a local monastery) serves as his weapons. And {{spoiler|Richter, due to his ability to item crash everything (except keys), does this to Cornell's beer cans.}}
* [[Lampshading]]: Just about everything. Including the comic itself having no fourth wall.
* [[Massively Multiplayer Crossover]]: Characters from [[Ghosts
* [[No Fourth Wall]]: Plainly lampshaded by all the characters. In fact, this is even taken advantage of by two characters.
* [[Non Sequitur]]: Every so often. Used for humor, just like everything else.
* [[Old Shame]]: Alucard and his 8-bit afro.
* [[Shout
* [[Take That]]: The comic is used to throw potshots at fanboys, at series director Koji Igarashi, at [[Take That Me|the charaters' habits themselves]], ...
* [[Unexplained Recovery]]: [http://www.cvrpg.com/dswccomics/2006/08/07 Used]{{Dead link}} [http://www.cvrpg.com/dswccomics/2006/08/10 and discussed]{{Dead link}}
* [[Villains Out Shopping]]: Death whistles while he works, and gets his robes cleaned at Gussy's on fifth. Also, his personal tastes have gotten him a rather comfortably-furnished apartment.
* [[A Worldwide Punomenon]]: Starting in the ''very first strip''.
