Line 14:
* [[Ascended Extra]]: A literal case with the nameless girl who runs the level shop. After this game, she becomes a series regular as Level Goddess Willis.
* [[Bait and Switch]]: Rance seems like he is going to try to comfort a man imprisoned in cement in the Thieves' Lair. But his comfort is to say which he only rescues' girls, what only drives the man further in despair.
* [[Big Bad]]: {{Spoiler|Princess Lia Leazas, which was responsible not only for Hikari's kidnapping but for what it seems for dozens of kidnappings, followed by torture of those kidnapped females for her own sadistic amusement}}.
* [[Bitch in Sheep's Clothing]]: {{spoiler|Princess Lia}}.
* [[The Cameo]]: Miki appears from [[AliceSoft]]'s earlier Little Princess series.
Line 19 ⟶ 20:
* [[Chain of Deals]]: You need to trade a straw for a mandarin, which gets you a key. Rance lampshades the oddness of it.
* [[Degraded Boss]]: Type A. A thief who you defeat to access the stairs in the Thieves' Lair becomes a recurring enemy in the exact same dungeon.
* [[Disproportionate Retribution]]: {{Spoiler|Dialogue at the end of the game with Sill reveals Lia's [[Start of Darkness]] caused by retributing with torture a maid accidently killing a pet lizard of hers.}}.
* [[Driven to Suicide]]: {{Spoiler|What happened with the ghost girl after being brutally tortured for the amusement of the princess}}.
* [[Early Installment Weirdness]]: In this game, Rance could both learn magic ([[Deus Sex Machina|from H-ing Sill]]) and equip shields. He also lacks his [[Signature Move|Rance Attack]] among [[More Teeth Than the Osmond Family|other]] [[I Call Him "Mister Happy"|unique]] [[Real Song Theme Tune|features.]]
* [[Everything's Better with Princesses]]: Princess Lia is far more efficient at running the country than her parents. {{spoiler|[[Subverted Trope|Oh, and she's also the]] [[Big Bad]].}}
* [[Evil Feels Good]]: {{Spoiler|Lia kept torturing girls for a sick thrill. Whether she is genuinely a sexual sadist or derived some different kind of pleasure from torture is left unclear}}.
* [[Face Heel Turn]]: Raping a hostage in the thieves' lair makes Rance decide to become a full-time criminal. That generates an early bad ending.
* [[Fate Worse Than Death]]: The man trapped in cement.
** He is actually
* [[God Save Us From the Queen]]: {{Spoiler|Lia is the villain. While she is only a princess in this game, she holds the real power in the Leazus Kingdom, so she qualifies for this trope.}}
* [[Gladiator Subquest]]
Line 29 ⟶ 33:
* [[Hero with an F In Good]]: Not only Rance rapes girls, his idea of kindness when he finds a man he can't help is [[Cruel To Be Kind]], driving the subject further in despair.
* [[Instant Awesome, Just Add Ninja]]: Hikari was kidnapped by female ninjas.
* [[Kick the Son of a Bitch]]: {{Spoiler|By the time you learn what Lia Reazas was doing on that mansion (kidnapping and torturing girls brutally for years), Rance raping her looks like less what she deserves}}.
* [[Lady Not-Appearing-In-This-Game]]: No, the girl on the box isn't Hikari. Nor is she any other character you see in the game.
* [[Law of Conservation of Detail]]: [http://i1224.photobucket.com/albums/ee367/KesselKitty/Rance%20Collection/ALCG000C.jpg This] is Princess Lia. [http://i1224.photobucket.com/albums/ee367/KesselKitty/Rance%20Collection/ALCG000A.jpg These] are Lia's parents. No guesses for who's more plot-important.
