{{tropelist}}

* [[Abdicate the Throne]] - {{spoiler|The [[Call a Rabbit a Smeerp|Oruyankuru]] in favor of his daughter.}}

* {{spoiler|[[Designer Babies]] - ''Everyone''<ref>except Hakuoro</ref> are descendants of genetic experiments. <ref>The scientists used his DNA to make said experiments stronger or something. However, it does explain the zombies from the Niwe arc and later.</ref>}}

* {{spoiler|[[Developer's Room]]}} - Your reward for beating the game. You aren't even notified of that.

* [[Dropped a Bridget On Him]] - Inverted: We're led to believe that Kuuya of Kunnekamun is [[A Child Shall Lead Them|a boy king]], but Hakuoro learns that "he" is in fact a girl with a tenor voice. Played straight with the twin archers, which many refuse to accept based on [[Black Comedy Rape|a few scenes]] that even Hakuoro [[Brain Bleach|doesn't want to think about.]]

* {{spoiler|[[Earth All Along]] - A far future Earth, no less.}}

* [[Evil Laugh]]: Niwe and Hauenkua are ''very'' fond of these.

* [[Expy]]: Hauenkua, who has silver hair, drives a giant red mech, and is an [[Ax Crazy]] [[Blood Knight]]. Don't we know you from [[Vision of Escaflowne|somewhere?]]

** [[Memetic Mutation]] - Also, the series' title was dubbed too difficult to say/type, so some * channers refer to it as "Underwater Ray Romano", which, combined with some interesting shops of Ray Romano scuba-diving, naturally leaves many newbies wondering just what the heck the series is about.

*** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oRSL_GwilK4 TAILGASM!]

* [[Genius Ditz]] - Touka. How can you be such a skilled fighter and presumably commander as well but still end up... well, TOUKA. See below for prime example before she even joins you. Also the doll chasing incident. And pregnancy advice from Karura. And bodyguard skills vs. alcohol tolerance.

* [[Gorn]] - Quite a few examples. Karura gets pretty good at invoking this, graphically bisecting mooks (and punching their heads off) and creating a shower of blood and dismembered limbs every time she swings her sword. {{spoiler|And once the [[Humongous Mecha]] arrive for the first time, it gets even worse. It literally '''rains blood''' at one point.}}

* [[Gravity Is a Harsh Mistress]] - Touka takes pause for a good helping of [[Visible Silence]] after the bridge she was standing on falls out beneath her.

* [[High School AU]]: There's a Sound Drama with almost all characters from the series attenting a modern japanese high school, the CD also featured some artworks with the characters sporting their school uniforms.

* [[Honor Before Reason]]: Touka doesn't even let reason enter her mind...

* [[Super Strength]] - Karura (''[[Department of Redundancy Department|again]]'').

* [[Suspiciously Vague Age]] - Kamyu and Aruruw are pretty clearly right about at the start of puberty and Eruruw is only a few years older. There's no way Eruruw or Kamyu (both of whom have sex scenes) are over about sixteen.

* [[Title Drop]] - The quote at the top of this page comes from a line near the very end of the game.

* [[Trying to Catch Me Fighting Dirty]] - At at least two points, someone will note that their opponent is 'cheating.' The first is the inclusion of {{spoiler|a giant kitty mistaken for its mother, a forest god, in a battle}} and the second is when {{spoiler|Touka is trying to follow Hakuoro and every single main character gets in her way pretty much.}} This is acknowledged by said dirty cheaters.

* [[Tsundere]]: Kuuya

* [[Turn-Based Strategy]]: And a pretty interesting one at that.

** Also Hauenkua.

* [[Wham! Episode]]: Episode 22. {{spoiler|Hakuoro turns into the god-monster in front of Elulu. Aruru is killed, and then comes back to life, thanks to a deal with said god-monster in a flashback where Aruru is killed again. And then Hakuoro has a flashback. To ''modern times.''}}

* [[Wholesome Crossdresser]] - In the game, Hakuoro mistakes the {{spoiler|archer twins Dori and Gura for girls at first, until [[If It's You It's Okay|they happily offer to give proof to the contrary]].}} The anime sidesteps the question of {{spoiler|their gender}}, [[Black Comedy Rape|which is probably for the best]]...

** In the end of {{spoiler|the first special episode,}} the archers are {{spoiler|pictured half undressed, showing [[Underboobs]].}}

* [[Yandere]] - Nuwangi, the ultra rare male example.

* [[Your Princess Is in Another Castle]] - Pulled multiple times. Defeating Nuwangi and establishing Tusukuru isn't the end. The defeats of {{spoiler|Orikakan and Niwe}} only take us to the halfway mark.
