Line 8:
And all of this happens before the first chapter.
 
Now that the heroes have [[MacGuffin|the head of the Demon Lord]], they must protect it from everybody else who might seek to bring Nadil [[Back Fromfrom the Dead]], or simply claim his power as their own. Of course things are never easy, and with evil plots, foul monsters, and [[Distracted By the Shiny|shiny distractions]] around every corner, the Knights will have their hands full trying to keep their victory as such.

=== [[Dragon Knights]] provides examples of ===
* [[A Form You Are Comfortable With]]: When the specter needs to have a talk with Kitchel, because she refused to talk to a "ghost" he took the physical form of a small, squirrel like creature instead, known as Sacreds in their world, to get her to listen.
* [[Affably Evil]]: Can apply to Kharl, he even unknowingly buys flowers from one of the heroes and accepts his invite to lunch. Also Sabel.
Line 32:
* [[Attractive Bent Gender]]
* [[Awful Truth]]
* [[Back Fromfrom the Dead]]: Happens quite a lot.
** Not exactly willy-nilly - someone else's sacrifice so you can use their body - and sometimes more than one body - is usually required.
** But... {{spoiler|Only about half the characters that die end up staying dead, and even then, some of them make reappearances.}}
Line 114:
* [[Ghost Amnesia]]: {{spoiler|Fiji, when Rath, Thatz, Zoma, and Ringleys run into her as a ghost.}}
* [[The Glasses Come Off]]: Kaistern battles without his glasses... [[Rule of Cool|it is never explained why]].
* [[Good Scars, Evil Scars]]: Interestingly enough, it's only the heroes who have scars. Thatz has his from his former street days. Gil's scars mostly come from {{spoiler|torture and self-infliction. Ruwalk has some across his chest from his encounter with the "terrible demon". And Rath has a scar across his neck after his first suicide attempt in volume 6.}}
* [[Gory Discretion Shot]]
* [[Half-Identical Twins]]
Line 131:
* [[Ho Yay]]: What do you expect from an mangaka that originally wrote about shounen-ai?
** Especially invoked with Rath and Kai-stern (at least from Kaistern's side).
** From Volume 13 Page 146, major ho-yay ensues for a couple of pages between Rath and Karl.
* [[Hyper Awareness]]: It's mentioned that Alfeegi's got keen observation skills.
* [[I Have Your Wife]]
Line 177:
* [[Mysterious Past]]: Along with some [[Dark and Troubled Past]] as well, leading to {{spoiler|Rath's [[I Am Who?]]? moment.}}
* [[Noblewoman's Laugh]]: Done once when Jilge thought her plan to be successful.
* [[No Export for You]]: Ohkami had created a bunch of bonus Dragon Knights chapters after the series had ended, which were printed together in a book in Japan. However, it seems like Tokyopop had little interest in importing it to the US, understandable considering the series' obscurity.
* [[Nonchalant Dodge]]
* [[Off with His Head]]
Line 254:
* [[Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?]]: Sabel is terrified of fairies.
* [[Wig, Dress, Accent]]: Happens a lot more often during the beginning of the series. The Dragon Knights had to do this a comple of times in drag, then you've got Hugh, and even Cesia's disguise as an innkeeper. Fedelta does a disguise later on in volume 6.
* [[Winged Humanoid]]: Several of the characters appear with wings in illustrations or covers, including Rath, Cesia, Rune, Thatz, Zoma, Kharl, and Alfeegi. Then all of the little water light fairies have insect type wings. {{spoiler|Rath}} actually does gain wings for a [[Power Gives You Wings|brief period]], {{spoiler|and it's implied that in the old days when he lived together with Kharl, they both had feathery wings on their backs.}} {{spoiler|Zoma appears with wings for a fleeting second as well, seen only by the fortuneteller, Delte, foreshadowing his true identity later on.}}
* [[Wrestler in All of Us]]: Tetheus. When told by Kitchel that he can't use his sword on the monsters, he decides to suplex them instead.
* [[Xanatos Roulette]]: When the first step in your plan is {{spoiler|your own decapitation}}, you have got to be '''''really''''' confident in the other steps.
* [[You Can See Me?]]: Reema to Alfeegi when they first meet.
* [[You Gotta Have Blue Hair]]: Not only is practically every color of the rainbow featured throughout the entire cast, Ohkami doesn't even bother to be consistent.
* [[You Have Failed Me...]]: Poor Jilge.
