* [[Gladiator Subquest]]: Rance decides to fight in Leazas Castle's coliseum in order to gain an audience with its princess.

* [[Law of Conservation of Detail]]: [http://i1224.photobucket.com/albums/ee367/KesselKitty/Rance%20Collection/ALCG000C.jpg This] is Princess Lia.

* [[No Name Given]]:
** The girl in the level shop, who says it's because the authors got lazy. She is given a name later in the series, however.
** Several other unimportant NPCs outright break the fourth wall or lean on it by saying their names don't matter.

** Hikari herself makes her first reappearance in the expansion pack, {{spoiler|with some... ''[[Yandere|interesting]]'' revelations.}}
* [[Refuge in Audacity]]:
* [[Signature Move]]:
* [[Standard Hero Reward]]: Played with. After raping the princess, Rance is later informed that the person who takes the princess's virginity has to marry her. Of course, he and Sill make a quick escape before that happens.
* [[Town with a Dark Secret]]: {{spoiler|The school's honor students are kidnapped as personal playthings for the princess.}}
* [[Wham! Episode]]: In the mansion, it is revealed that {{spoiler|the princess is behind not only Hikari's kidnapping, but dozens of prior kidnappings over the past several years, with most of her victims being [[Driven to Suicide]].}}
