* [[Anachronism Stew]]: Justified in that
** This eventually becomes a plot point.
* [[Attack of the 50-Foot Whatever]]: Creative use of an enlargement potion in an absence of [[Magic Pants]] makes for instant nudity. It also makes for an angry giantess who punches out a dragon that is threatening her town.
Line 40 ⟶ 39:
'''Ritsuko:''' Then was then. Now is now.
'''Junpei:''' Boy, I hate fantasy stories! }}
** Junpei's catch phrase:
{{quote|'''Junpei:''' "This is why I hate fantasy stories!" }}
Line 46 ⟶ 44:
{{quote|'''Junpei:''' Man this series sure uses a lot of screwball comedies.
'''Celicia:''' Fantasy series Junpei, fantasy series. }}
* [[Catch Phrase]]: At least in the dub, Junpei says, "This is why I hate fantasy stories!"
** In the original manga, and it's "Freaking fantasy world!".
Line 85 ⟶ 82:
* [[The Nudifier]]: the potion which will make any elf naked.
* [[The One Guy]]: Junpei.
* [[Our Elves Are Better]]: A notable aversion. They all ''look good'', but otherwise their society seems to have integrated well into that of
* [[Our Mermaids Are Different]]
* [[Paper Fan of Doom]]: the women in the main cast, usually directed at Junpei (or any male too obsessed with the Elf Hunters quest), although Junpei himself uses it to prevent an uncomfortable old man homoerotic moment.
Line 102 ⟶ 99:
** In Episode 1 Airi disguised as an Elf, gives a Cutey Honey Speech and even coins the phrase Lovely Warrior.
** A certain [[Discworld|landmass]] supported on the back of four elephants and a turtle appears often.
* [[Slap Slap Kiss]]:
* [[The Smart Guy|The Smart Girl]]: Airi, lacking muscles, magic, and guns, relies solely on her brain and her acting skills to support the group.
* [[Team Pet]]: Celcia, for most of the series.
Line 110 ⟶ 107:
* [[Summon Everyman Hero]]: The back-plot of the story: to defeat the [[Big Bad]], Celcia casts a spell which summons the protagonists. Less than a minute later, the [[Big Bad]] is {{spoiler|only mostly}} dead, thanks to Ritsuko blasting it with the armored tank that the spell also brought along.
* [[Unscaled Merfolk]]
* [[Voluntary Shapeshifting]]: {{spoiler|Celcia can transform into whatever she wants with her ring. However, played with in that she always ends up transforming into animals (hence she is considered [[Team Pet]]) and cannot transform back once she absorbs any one of the spell fragments. She can only change back once she gains
* [[Wrong Genre Savvy]]: In one chapter of the manga, Junpei states that "you can't go by in a fantasy world without knowing a spell or two", and thus sets out to train in the arcane arts in his very own way. [[Hilarity Ensues]].
* [[You Gotta Have Blue Hair]]: Airi's purple hair.
