* [[Disproportionate Retribution]]: Kanon breaks Kyousuke's music CD. For his revenge, he gets a ''schoolwide'' athletic event that Kanon had been looking forward to for a long time postponed until a date she won't be able to attend it. He seems to enjoy going overboard in petty revenge.

* [[Distant Finale]]: {{spoiler|The conclusion to Usami's Epilogue takes place eight years after Kyousuke went to prison. The end of Tsubaki's route is also set four years later. Mizuha's route skips ahead three years, a well. In fact, Kanon's route is the only one ''without'' one.}}

* [[Don't You Dare Pity Me]]: Kyousuke tells Tsubaki particularly harshly this in her good ending path, after she finds something he'd rather she didn't. And after ''that'' comes a just-barely averted [[Disproportionate Retribution]] {{spoiler|in the form of Kyousuke resolving to go through with the plans to force her family from their home after all}}.

** {{spoiler|The Devil}} is a favorite of this. He also is believed to be dead after surviving a terrorist's bomb.

** After making a phone call to Kyousuke about how he has nothing more to live for, he sets off a bomb in the center of the city, [[Redemption Equals Death|presumably killing himself]]. It turns out that he lied, but Haru calls him out on it.

* [[Fake Out Make Out]]: {{spoiler|A more extreme version happens when Maou unleashes hell upon the city. Usami and Kyousuke seek shelter from the mobs by running into a department store and are discovered quickly enough. Rather than pretending to make out, he pretends to be about to ''rape'' her.}}

* [[Four-Temperament Ensemble]]: The girls are a picture-perfect example: Tsubaki is phlegmatic, Kanon is sanguine, Mizuha is melancholic, and Haru is choleric.

* [[No Campaign for The Wicked|No Route For The Wicked]]: {{spoiler|Despite being featured on the box art like the actual four heroines and showing some interest in Kyousuke, Yuki does not have a route. Not that she's truly bad or anything, but since she's been working for Maou and is obsessed with revenge, there's no route for her. Probably because there's nowhere for one to split off plausibly.}}

** This does not stop the game from having one CG of her laying in bed that lets you catch a peek at her breasts. {{spoiler|Too bad it ends with Kyousuke having to lethally shoot her only to have her get up and stab him to death before dying herself. [[What the Hell, Hero?|That's what you get]] for breaking Mizuha, Kyousuke.}}

* [[Oblivious to Love]]: Normally, Kyousuke is okay about this. He picks up on Tsubaki quickly enough and Kanon eventually despite apparently not interacting with her much. And he's actually going out of his way to ignore the possibility of Usami. But Mizuha in her route? For some things there is just no excuse.

* [[Rapunzel Hair]]: Haru's defining physical characteristic is the absurd length of her hair, described as reaching her knees. Even the bangs are long enough to cover almost her entire face. Everyone else has much more reasonable hair and she admits in passing that it takes her forever to keep it clean. It is outright stated that she grew her hair out so long because {{spoiler|Kyousuke told her that he liked girls with long hair when they were children, but neglected to mention how long. She didn't cut it because she wasn't sure how long he liked it.}}

* [[Reality Retcon]]: At the end of Kanon's route, the very last line that appears on the screen is a disclaimer on a black background, saying that the quad jump that {{spoiler|Kanon used to nearly win the Japan Championships}} had actually been done in 2002 by someone, unlike what the game had implied. It was also revealed that Kanon's revealing skating outfit would have gotten a penalty to her score, and that the depiction of figure skating was merely a projection of it into the world of G-Senjou no Maou.

* [[Villain Protagonist]]: When you think about it, Kyousuke can't really be considered to be a good guy so much as less of a bad guy in an evil versus evil situation. Lying, extortion, manipulation and more. While he's essentially a decent person the story makes a point of painting him as rather ambiguously gray {{spoiler|until he finally stands up to Gonzou so that Yuki, Usami and Mizuha can escape.}} And the yakuza he represents is actually a particularly vicious group with no concern for honor.

** It can be argued that Maou is a 2nd protagonist. The player often takes the role of him and he even use the pronoun "I" when narrating, much in the same way that would be used for the protagonists in the these kind of games. {{spoiler|Granted, its very important that he does this, for plot-twist purposes, but even after the reveal he still does it.}}

* [[Wham Episode|Wham Ending]]: After the credits, {{spoiler|the Devil manipulates Usami into trying to kill him in cold blood, and Kyousuke instead does the deed and takes the fall so Usami's name stays out of the papers and she can go on to become a violinist and raise their daughter.}}
