'''Basic Trope''': The number four is bad somehow.
* '''Straight''': The [[Five -Bad Band]] to [[Humans Are Bastards|Emperor Evulz]] are [[Reptiles Are Abhorrent|Doom Komodo]], [[EverythingsEverything's Worse With Bears|Dr. Von Testlastein]], [[You Dirty Rat|Violet Darkheart]], and [[Creepy Cockroach|Lamia]]. The [[Five -Man Band]] of [[Magic Knight]] [[Token Human|Edgar Homos]], [[Knight in Shining Armour]] [[Cool Horse|Bob Equus]], [[Black Mage]] [[King of Beasts|Dave Felis]], [[White Mage]] [[Big Badass Bird of Prey|Carol Avius]], and [[Bare -Fisted Monk]] [[Big Badass Wolf|Emily Canus]] stop them from blowing up several places.
* '''Exaggerated''': Almost everyone dies when four people are together - the heroes refuse to operate with one member missing.
* '''Downplayed''': ???
* '''Justified''': The villains are The [[Psycho Rangers]] to the [[Five -Man Band]], so Emperor Evulz chose four executives.
* '''Inverted''': There are four gods of life that Carol, Dave, Bob and Alice speak to.
* '''Subverted''': You hear about a group called the "Shitenno" who everyone fears, and their "Leader". It turns out that Edgar is the Leader, and Carol, Dave, Bob and Alice are the Shitenno.
