* [[Actor Allusion]]: From the Drama CD, [[Kana Hanazawa|Kobato]] once utters "[[Angel Beats (Anime)|Guard Skill: Hand Sonic]]", and [[Yuka Iguchi|Maria]] once quoted [[To Aru Majutsu no Index|Touma's]] [[Catch Phrase]] word for word, culminating in a headbite akin to that often done by Index (who shares the same voice actress as her). The ''[[Shinryaku Ika Musume]]'' [[Shout-Out|Shout Outs]] are a combination of this and [[Ascended Meme]], due to the Ika Musume parody in ''[[To Aru Majutsu no Index]]-tan'' Episode 3.

* [[All Girls Want Bad Boys]]: Not that he realizes it, but Kodaka at the very least has this going for him. Yukimura goes without saying, putting his gender aside. Surprisingly, Yozora is also quite susceptible; while playing an otome game, she gets bored to tears by all the nice pretty boys until she ran across a delinquent character -- who looks like Kodaka, no less.

** Further reinforced in that chapter by the rest of the girls also agreeing with Yozora that the 'delinquent' in the otome game was more to their tastes, promptly shooting down Kodaka's reservations about dating that character.

* [[Balanced Harem]]: Yozora is the first girl Kodaka interacted with and is his fellow co-founder of the Neighbors Club, {{spoiler|as well as his [[Forgotten Childhood Friend]] with whom he's reconnecting}}; Sena displays the most romantic interest in him {{spoiler|and later becomes his fiancee}}; Kodaka displays the most attraction to [[Dude Looks Like a Lady|Yukimura]], much to his confusion and horror. Any affection from Rika is ambiguous, owing to her [[Lovable Sex Maniac|overly sexual antics]] and Kodaka's [[No Guy Wants to Be Chased|disdain for them]]. On the non-romantic side Kobato and Maria engage in childish squabbles over Kodaka's brotherly attention.

* [[Be Careful What You Wish For]]/[[Brick Joke]]: In Episode 8, Yozora expresses distaste for popular people. She also extends her rant to a pool scene from "St. Joe's Academy Tale", a galge Sena was playing at that moment, claiming had she made the game, she'd make it "godly" by adding a [[Downer Ending]] where a [[Everything's Even Worse With Sharks|shark appears]] and [[Kill'Em All|kills all characters]]. A few seconds and one bad choice by Sena later, her galge dives straight into a nightmarish [[Sudden Downer Ending]] featuring that very scenario. Even Yozora was genuinely horrified at that instant before regaining her composure and claiming it is "godly". Rika remembers that the game was notorious for bad endings where ''the hero and all his romantic interests'' die in the most horrific ways [[Unwinnable By Design|should the player mess up with even a single flag]], even as Sena angrily breaks the disc.

* [[Bishonen]]: Unusually for a harem protagonist, Kodaka definitely fits, what with his good looks and blonde hair. The series also gives a realistic take on his hair, giving him a natural dirty blond/brown hair pattern rather than the straight-up bleached look that delinquents go for. Not that most of his schoolmates can tell the difference.

* [[Cannot Spit It Out]]: {{spoiler|Yozora cannot muster the courage to tell Kodaka that she is "Sora", his long-lost childhood friend, because she's frustrated that he doesn't recognize her (which is justifiable, because she has already grown her hair long during those ten years they never met), at least until he finally does after seeing her on the first day of classes after summer break with her hair cut short. Later, she reveals to him that she failed to meet up with him on his last day at Tooya City ten years ago because she was too scared to appear to him dressed as a girl.}}

* [[Chekhov's Gun]]: Yozora's horror story about a girl who was killed by a ghost for betraying her friend (and driving her to suicide) over a boy they like. {{spoiler|Later that night, Kodaka can't fall asleep over the whole "betrayal of friends" thing, wondering if "Sora", his only childhood friend, felt the same way about him when they fail to meet on the day Kodaka has to move as promised.}}

After she and Sena get a [[Downer Ending]] on a galge the latter was playing, Yozora storms out the clubroom (while Sena breaks down crying) to find and kill Akari -- ''a video game character'' -- thinking she spread the rumors that their protagonist was a [[He-Man Woman Hater]], causing Yukiko, a girl she and Sena were angling for, to turn him/them down...

** Also, in Episode 8, Sena falls prey to a nightmarish [[Downer Ending]] on a galge featuring a shark attack on the pool killing both the hero and his harem girls. According to Rika, said galge is notorious for such bloody bad endings which are [[Unwinnable By Design|very easy to trigger should the player mess up with even a single flag]], earning it a "so bad it's good" reputation among gamers. Sena begs to differ, and angrily breaks the disk in half.
