Line 37:
* [[Tastes Like Diabetes]]/[[Historical Hero Upgrade]]: Anastasia in ''Covenant'', and [[Lampshade Hanging|well aware of it]].
* [[That One Boss]]: Shadow Hearts 1, {{spoiler|Fox Face. Or any of the four killer bosses that pop up after you beat him.}}
* [[Tier-Induced Scrappy]]:
** Gepetto is probably the closest this series has to one. He has the highest magical attack and can boost his elemental power with Cordelia's dresses, but Lucia and Anastasia are both faster, magical power is weaker than physical power, and the two women have special skills that make them more useful (Lucia's Aromatherapy and Anastasia's Snaps)
** In the first game, Zhuzhen is a decent character, and the only character who can reliably hit all non-Light elemental classes. But after Margarete rejoins and Halley is required for the next two dungeons, he often hits the bench.
* [[Uncanny Valley]]: Averted because of the stylized characters (Rasputin looks like a cartoon villain), but in ''Covenant'', there's the "Miracle" scene in which, for once, the [[Uncanny Valley]] turns out to be more ''funny'' than creepy, because {{spoiler|Yuri tries to make a sad face...but it looks so ridiculous some people who ''would have'' cried at that scene suddenly found themselves stifling back laughter. This has become a ''very'' minor [[Memetic Mutation|meme]] in itself.}}
* [[Viewer Gender Confusion]]: Mao in ''From the New World'', namely due to the [[Cross-Dressing Voices]] in the English version. In the Japanese version of ''From the New World'', Mao is voiced by [[Kujira]], who is ''definitely'' a woman. She sounds very similar to [[Naruto|Orochimaru]], though.
