* [[Brother-Sister Incest]]: Miakis tells Lym that if the Prince wins, she'll have to marry him. Miakis has a really wild sense of humor. Then Lym attacks the Prince for winning his ''ceremonial'' match, out of fear that they'll have to marry. Third, in the best ending, the prince {{spoiler|becomes Commander of the Queen's Knights, a position normally reserved for the Queen's husband. Given the [[Ship Tease]] between the two earlier...}}
* [[Brotherhood of Funny Hats]]: Sisterhood, in this case. Nifsara and Linfa form a secret society dedicated to protecting pretty boys: the Secret Alliance for the Protection of Pretty Hunks in Real Endangerment ([[Fun with Acronyms|SAPPHIRE]]). Their motto is: "To observe! To protect! To observe some more!"

** A curious example is the Prince himself, who uses a slightly-too-thick but otherwise real three-section staff... except for the fact that its middle section is somehow split in two for easier carrying. The method of assembling displayed in the artbook makes one wonder just how skilled the prince is to be able to pull it out and piece it together in a single motion every battle. Not to mention his skills in turning it into a staff and back at a moment's notice.
