== Central Characters ==

[[File:saga_2_father_2554.png|frame]]

* [[Captain Ersatz]]: Of [[Indiana Jones]].

* [[Disappeared Dad]]: He vanishes after the first scene of the story, and never returns for years.

* [[Nice Hat]]: In the Game Boy version. In the DS remake he's not wearing his hat, and is known more as the "man with the whip".

* [[Rebel Leader]]: Leads the Guardians, who call him "the Colonel".

* [[Secret Other Family]]: Appears this way when he shows up seeming to be Lin's father. Turns out he only cares for Lin and her mother while Mask is away.

[[File:saga_2_apollo_9563.png|frame]]

* [[Affably Evil]]

* [[Big Bad]]

* [[The Dandy]]: The [[Deity of Human Origin|Deities Of Human Origin]] have chosen largely different [[A God Am I]] styles. Apollo has opted to look as elegant and well-dressed a man as possible.

* [[Deity of Human Origin]]

* [[Light Is Not Good]]

* [[Xanatos Gambit]]: Apollo recognizes that the main characters are better Relic collectors, and plans to let them collect all the remaining Relics. [[MacGuffin Delivery Service|He then steals them all.]]

[[File:saga_2_goddess_4818.png|frame]]

* [[Almighty Janitor]]: Literally. The Goddess's entire occupation is to maintain the proper function of the world, the Central Temple and the Sky Pillars.

* [[Powers That Be]]

* [[Winged Humanoid]]

 

== Home arc ==

[[File:saga_2_teacher_4089.png|frame]]

* [[Badass Teacher]]

* [[Cyclops]]

 

== Ashura & Guardians arc ==

[[File:saga_2_kai_6959.png|frame]]

* [[Born Winner]]: Kai was actually born with Relics micronized inside her own body. That's right, she had ''pieces of the Goddess'' inside her body. This gave Kai the power to [[Healing Hands|heal]].

* [[Fantastic Voyage Plot]]: One of the game's dungeons is the interior of Kai's body.

* [[High Priestess]]: Of the Goddess's temple, where she's called "Mother Kai".

* [[White Magician Girl]]

[[File:saga_2_mask_1315.png|frame]]

* [[Body Double]]: For Father, except for that mask he's wearing, such that he's suspected to ''be'' Father during his first appearance.

* [[Disappeared Dad]]: To Lin.

[[File:saga_2_ashura_6535.png|frame]]

* [[Disc One Final Boss]]

* [[From Nobody to Nightmare]]: Ashura was originally just an ordinary Goblin who managed to collect enough Relics.

* [[Horned Humanoid]]

[[File:saga_2_lin_9051.png|frame]]

* [[Anime Chinese Girl]]

* [[The Load]]: You have Lin as a guest party member all of twice, each time only for a battle in which she's too weak to make any difference.

 

 

== Venus arc ==

[[File:saga_2_venus_5851.png|frame]]

* [[Deity of Human Origin]]

* [[Faux Affably Evil]]: She thanks the main characters for defeating Ashura, and grants them permission to come and go in her megalopolis as they please. This is the only extent of her niceness, and she doesn't even to try to disguise how much of a depraved [[Alpha Bitch]] she is.

* [[God Save Us From the Queen]]

* [[Rich Bitch]]

* [[Suspiciously Specific Denial]]: Venus denies that her power or beauty comes from Relics, or that there are any Relics in her world at all. Some people are naïve enough to believe this, like Antony.

 

* [[Arranged Marriage]]: To Julius. Called off when Venus dies.

 

* [[Arranged Marriage]]: To Olivia. Called off when Venus dies.

* [[Dark Is Not Evil]]

* [[Easily Forgiven]]: Julius isn't really one of the good guys or one of the bad guys. He seems rather ambivalent to Venus's control of his life, mostly excited about getting to marry someone like Olivia. When Venus is finally defeated and Julius is no longer betrothed to Olivia, Julius apologizes for his arrogance and remains friends with Olivia and Antony. Olivia points out that Julius didn't actually ''do'' anything bad -- he didn't actually have a choice in the overall situation, so she saw no fault that needed to be forgiven.

* [[Estrogen Brigade Bait]]: Julius is said to be popular with the girls, though he himself doesn't seem to be fully aware of this.

* [[Hopeless Suitor]]: Julius actually genuinely likes Olivia, but has no real chance of winning her heart from Antony.

* [[Horned Humanoid]]: A demon who's beautiful enough to live in Venus's megalopolis.

[[File:saga_2_antony_476.png|frame]]

* [[Badass Long Hair]]: [[Unkempt Beauty|Flowing in the wind]], no less. Antony became this ''after'' being exiled from Venus's megalopolis where he had to fend for himself.

* [[Beauty Is Never Tarnished]]: He only injured his leg, and was still quite beautiful. Venus did not agree, seeing the injury as something that tarnished Antony's perfection, and she banished him from her megalopolis.

* [[Unkempt Beauty]]: After exile. Presumably he was better-manicured when living in Venus's megalopolis.

* [[Walking Shirtless Scene]]: In the original. He was shirted in the [[Video Game Remake|remake]].

 

== Edo arc ==

[[File:saga_2_otama_6241.png|frame]]

* [[Private Detective]]

* [[Tomboy]]: An irrepressible one at that.

* [[You Killed My Father]]: Otama's father was a [[Private Detective]] who was killed by Echigoya, but she could never prove it. She's seeking justice.

[[File:saga_2_rounin_5021.png|frame]]

* [[Badass Teacher]]: He's a schoolteacher with a Muramasa.

* [[Ronin]]: Yes, his appellation and occupation are the same.

* [[Undercover Cop Reveal]]: Rônin is actually a Guardian, and is friends with Father.

 

* [[Only Sane Employee]]: He seems to have more caution and common sense than Otama.

* [[Petting Zoo People]]

* [[Species First Name]]: In the official 1991 English localization, Denpachi was renamed "Kame", which is Japanese for "turtle".

 

* [[Ambiguously Gay]]: The DS remake makes him look ''extremely'' [[Camp Gay]], but the game never comes out and says it. If true, this would also make Echigoya a [[Gayngster]].

* [[Corrupt Corporate Executive]]

* [[Eyes Always Shut]]: His appearance in the Game Boy version.

[[File:saga_2_shougun_4630.png|frame]]

* [[The Dandy]]: With a [[Final Fantasy VI|Kefka]]-level [[Costume Porn]].

* [[The Dragon]]: To his father, Ôgosho.

* [[Evil Chancellor]]

* [[The Man Behind the Man]]: Echigoya was only a lower level gangster compared to Shôgun.

[[File:saga_2_oogosho_2112.png|frame]]

* [[Deity of Human Origin]]

* [[The Don]]/[[The Man Behind the Man]]: The man behind both Shôgun and Echigoya.
