* [[Conspiracy Theories]] / [[Epileptic Trees]] - Due to the lack of information about Jasmine You's death, many fans have attempted to fill in the blanks. Guesses go from fairly sane (AIDS; allergic reaction to an injection; heart disease) to very unlikely (suicide; cancer; swine flu) to downright ridiculous ([[Mis BlamedMisblamed|Hizaki and/or Masashi bumped him off]]; [[He's Just Hiding|he's still alive and it's all a publicity stunt]]).
* [[Crowning Moment of Awesome]]: When performing in England in 2010, [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Se9pCeAMRho Hizaki slipped and fell to the floor hard]. This wouldn't normally be awesome, aside from the fact that he still keeps playing and ''barely misses a note''.
* [[Crowning Music of Awesome]]: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sl_ZgBcL_RQ "Faith & Decision"] has the honor of being an [[Epic Rocking]] song that truly lives up to the name.
Line 8:
* [[Fanon]]: There is a rumour that Kamijo was married to a woman named Audrey, who died of cancer. Nobody really knows where this started--it wasn't any sort of official source--but it's stuck quite well.
* [[Harsher in Hindsight]]: Jasmine's death carried a nasty irony due to the fact that, in the band's backstory, they were supposed to be immortal.
* [[Ho Yay]]: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pj4pcCvVY9Q&feature=related This]. Then there's the moment in the "MASQUERADE" PV when Kamijo dances with Hizaki...
* [[Memetic Mutation]]: A particular line Kamijo says in the first part of the "ASCENDEAD MASTER" short film.
{{quote| "Do you like rose?"}}
* [[Narm]]: "Gekkakou" contains a string of ''[[Harry Potter (novel)|Harry Potter]]'' spells as lyrics. Whether the band realised this--or if they did, realised how odd it would sound--is up for debate. Since those particular lyrics are [[Harsh Vocals|growled/shrieked]], some don't notice that they're ''HP'' spell names on the first listen.
* [[Narm Charm]]: Whenever Kamijo sings in English (or [[Gratuitous English|Engrish]], in some cases), he mispronounces at least ''something''. No one minds--people usually just find it funny.
* [[Recycled Premise]]: Subversion: Versailles' visuals are basically a new spin on a mash-up of everyone's old bands' concepts.
* [[Replacement Scrappy]]: Averted with Masashi--he's a great bassist in his own right, the fans consider him to be a full member of the band as opposed to just "not-Jasmine," and most fans consider him to be the best replacement for Jasmine You who could have been picked. (The fact that he trained under Jasmine for a while before his death probably helps.) There are still fans who dislike Masashi simply for not being Jasmine, but they're a pretty small minority.
* [[Viewer Gender Confusion]]: It's rare to guess Hizaki and Jasmine You as men on the first attempt. Teru also gets this occasionally.
