----

* [[The Abridged Series]]: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kDcWxc3_Gyk Here.]

* [[Adult Child]]: Cecile Lafitte, Kujo's teacher. Sophie could qualify as this as well.

* [[Chekhov's Gun]]: Several of the various legends and fairy-tales Kazuya and Victorique have to deal with are introduced several episodes before they become relevant, such as the Grey Wolves and Leviathan the Alchemist.

* [[Children Forced to Kill]]: In episodes two and three of the anime adaptation, Victorique and Kujo discover information about an incident of this that happened 10 years ago.

* [[Clear My Name]] / [[Clear Their Name]]

** Kazuya begs Victorique to help him when he is accused of murder.

** All of the residents of the Seyrun village.

* [[Heroic Bastard]]: {{spoiler|Victorique is an illegitimate daughter of the de Blois family with a politically-troublesome mother, which is why she's spent most of her life isolated from the rest of society.}}

* [[Heroic Sacrifice]]: {{spoiler|Cordelia (presumably) killing Albert}}

* [[Hidden Elf Village]]: The Village of Gray Wolves a.k.a. Seyrun. Outsiders are welcome to visit, and residents -- even children of exiled residents -- can leave and return, but many of them are actually a [[Human Subspecies]]; pale, [[Shorter Means Smarter|petite]], green-eyed blondes with [[Super Intelligence]], capable of [[Awesomeness By Analysis]], and [[Sherlock Scan|Sherlock Scans]]. The village Elders, meanwhile, are ''oracles''. '''Non-cryptic ones!''' {{spoiler|Though they do give the odd [[Self-Fulfilling Prophecy]]. And it [[Break the Cutie|really sucked]] for Cordelia Gallo when the Marquis de Blois realized she was a Grey Wolf.}}

** Victorique uses a pipe when she's thinking in a way similar to the popular conception of [[Sherlock Holmes]], although in the anime she just holds it in her mouth instead of actually ''smoking'' anything.

* [[Shrouded in Myth]]: The Grey Wolves, a legendary European [[Human Subspecies|bloodline]] known for their short stature, golden hair, and vast intellect, are the source of several local legends and a great deal of general superstition.

* [[Spanner in the Works]]: Kazuya and Victorique to the Queen Berry murder plot. It didn't help that the culprit, being a [[Sympathetic Murderer]], didn't want to see two innocent children die in the gigantic [[Death Course]] they'd set up, and so had to expose themselves more than they would have otherwise wished to in order to keep them safe.

* [[Spell My Name with an "S"]]: There is some contention on how to [[Japanese Romanization|romanize]] various names in the series, including those of the main heroine, the police inspector, and the fictional country they live in.

* [[Sympathetic Murderer]]: The surviving "hares" of the first Queen Berry, {{spoiler|save for Ned}}.

* [[Take My Hand]]: Victorique to Kazuya {{spoiler|when the only bridge to the village collapses}}.

* [[Ten Little Murder Victims]]: This happens at the Miniature Garden Box Evening.

* [[Theme Tune Cameo]]: Near the end of Episode 17 the instrumental version of "Resuscitated Hope", the first [[Ending Theme]], plays as {{spoiler|Kujo and Victorique chase after the departing train while Beelzebub's Skull gets flooded. Also note the situation - for once it is Victorique who has broken down and it is only because of Kujo her hope is resuscitated.}}
