== Fridge Brilliance ==
* When Lute first meets Argent, he constantly teases him, makes jokes, and acts silly around him (deliberately to piss him off). Why? {{spoiler|Lute had found out from the start that Argent wasn't there to learn anything from them, and that he was likely plotting against him}}, so he figured, why not have some fun with it?
* Lute being able to {{spoiler|open Pandora's Box without getting killed by Reaper}}. How? Well, apart from Lute's genuinely heroic/pure (though pervy) nature... It's hinted that Pandora's Box is actually {{spoiler|a demon relic that only the King of Demons can open. In other words: Only an incubus or shall we say half-incubus}}. Can do it.
* Lute getting Queen Aphrodia to lift the ban and high import taxes on {{spoiler|bras being imported}} so easily. How? Simple. SHE'S A WOMAN THAT [[Gag Boobs|NEEDED ONE!]]
** In fact, when they first meet with her in Fronce, Lute presents her with several bras as gifts, but Marquis Cuvier tries to say that they must be confiscated to coincide with the ban on selling bras. Aphrodia instantly stops him by pointing out that these weren't merchandise, but ''gifts'', therefore it was allowed. {{spoiler|Some 10-20 minutes later, Aphrodia tells her subordinates to lift the ban, resolving the issue in a matter of minutes}}. Well played, Lute!
* On 2 separate occasions, Cardinal Canossa tries to say that Lute's marriage to Shamsiel is the cause of misfortune to his people and kingdom. Even using scripture to justify his view. Which Lute promptly throws right back in his face both times. The first instance, Lute remarks how God teaches acceptance of those who have made mistakes in the past and those who are different. There's even a fitting reference to [[Bible|Mary Magdelin's]] story as a former prostitute that decided to follow the path of God, and that if the Cardinal condemned Shamsiel, Emeralia, or anyone simply for their pasts, then he would be implying that all forms of penance is futile. This shuts up Canossa pretty fast, and even Cardinal Fango thought Lute's words were spot on. The second instance is the morning when Lute and his group are going to visit Vunderbalt. Canossa claims that the recent attacks and misfortune befalling Edelland to be God's punishment cursing the people for Lute's marriage to "a devil". Lute then flips that back on him by saying that IF that were the case, why would God wait 2 years to punish him instead of immediately? Canossa just tries to say that the Lord's will is thus inscrutable. Lute then asks how he would know what God's thinking or decided? Canossa asks if Lute is trying to defy the Lord, so Lute responds that he only defies those who try using God as a means of judging/criticizing others. Lute then says an old saying about a "fox borrowing a tiger's authority" and thus he can't stand when a "fox" borrows God's authority (which is to say, using God's name for one's own benefit). Once again, this shuts up Canossa and impresses Cardinal Fango who agrees with him.
* Despite her attitude, Shamsiel demands respect, and when people insult her or tell her she's being rude to them, she calls them out on it. In the case of when she meets everyone in Fronce, they tell her she should respect her elders, but then she proclaims that she's actually the eldest in the room, being over 500 years old, so if anything they shouldn't be so rude to HER.
** That being said, in the first game, she was said to have known Lute's father for over 1000 years, but then... Why did she lie about her age here? The same reason anyone else would.
 
== Fridge Horror ==
* Compared to the first game, a lot more people die over the course of this game's story. Not on screen, but the sound effects and descriptions DEFINITELY qualify as this.
* What actually DOES Saint Reaper mean when he says he'll "devour one's soul"? A very chilling thought.
* For that matter, how DOES a succubus kill someone? Sure, they give us a few hints toward the likely manner, but really think about it... {{spoiler|The victims of the succubi (fake or real) are left, described as "shriveled up piles of just skin and bone" does that mean a succubus drains the fluids from a victim completely or is it even worse? Which is to say, do they suck out the victims insides too}}? Want another chilling thought? They can kill someone in a matter of SECONDS like this!
* The life of the fake succubi {{spoiler|(there's 2 of them)}}. Each of them is a spiritual entity that {{spoiler|was captured and contained inside of a magic jar, and they exist only to follow orders of whoever opens the jars, despite showing signs of free will. Even if they manage to break free of their jars on their own, they still operate only under the guidance of the last order given to them, which could mean they're forced to harm and kill innocent people whether they actually want to or not}}. Perhaps the worst part for them is that {{spoiler|one of them ends up simply disappearing... [[Spanner in the Works|Whether that meant she died or not is left unknown.]] While the other gets her soul (YES, these beings DO have their own souls) taken and consumed by Saint Reaper... Perhaps an even more chilling thought is that when Reaper had appeared and looked around the room that was full of people, ghouls, and the fake succubus, he said he would devour any corrupted soul, but when he says that, he wasn't talking about the fake succubus or the ghouls. He was looking at Cardinal Canossa}}. Which is to say, the fake succubus and ghouls were NOT the most evil ones in the room, despite all things they did, but THEY were the ones who got their souls devoured.
* Also consider the life of the Wraith. Summoned/born to fulfill one objective: drive people to suicide. If it fails? It itself dies.

== Fridge Logic ==
* The soldiers in Vunderbalt were able to recognize the fake succubus as an imposter instead of the real Shamsiel sooner than anyone else, because for the past several weeks to perhaps months, they'd been working directly under the supervision of the REAL Shamsiel, so they know her personally.
** Speaking of said soldiers, they apparently got along with Shamsiel really well, and Lute recognized it because they had something in common. Both she AND they were once outcasts of the Kingdom, and thus could bond over that.
