• Black-and-Gray Morality: Volume 12 introduces the Gelmudo Empire, which is morally pitch black, and is so heinous, they make the Fallen, at their worst, look downright benevolent by comparing.
• Call-Back: In the fourth novel, Rem strongly advises Lumachina to spill the beans at one time about her situation, lest she "volition invite a situation upon herself that she will never forget throughout her whole life." This difficult-earned bit of dubious wisdom comes the time when Diablo "tortured" her into confessing her problems dorsum in the first novel by teasing her true cat ears into an Immodest Orgasm.
• The Cameo: The original circulate version of Season 2 episode 2 features a quick cameo of hololive'southward Pekora Usada. She's colour swapped, but even so wears her trademark pigtails and hair carrots.
• Cerebus Syndrome: While the story was never full of sunshine and rainbows, in Volume 12, things get existent dark, existent quick, with the introduction of the Gelmudo Empire, who use Child Soldier elites, the racist human commanders literally stomping their heads into the ground until they bleed, for the slightest insubordination or failure, real or imagined, with the ground forces bent on conquest, enslaving all they run across, and run past an Immortality Seeker Emperor on his deathbed, desperate for results to capture a certain Pantherian...
• Chekhov'due south Gun: The potions Diablo makes with Shera end up beingness used in Episode 12 to save Rem's life.
  • When Rem teaches Shera how to summon Turkey Shot, she as well gives Diablo a magic stone used for contracts. This becomes useful when he tries to find a way for Klem to be allowed in Faltra - by using the enslavement contract on her.
• City of Adventure: By pattern. The metropolis of Faltra is on the frontier betwixt the Human kingdom, several demi-human races, specially elves, and the Fallen. A second one ends up existence Zircon Belfry City, where desert adventures regularly venture out to the sands, risking life and limb for precious treasures buried in forgotten tombs.
• Double Standard: Rape, Female on Male person: In both Volume 8 and 11.
  • Volume 8: Raphlesia corners Diablo, on his wedding dark, and starts coming on to him, strongly, every bit "cheers" for saving her life in the wake of Demon Male monarch of the Center Cardia fiasco, despite his protests, and the fact that he'due south already married to Shera and Rem. Rem chances upon it and is enraged, to the betoken that she doesn't speak to him for a full week afterward.
  • Book 11: Diablo gets accosted past Rem'south aunt, who promises to teach him a secret clan technique, that he was already starting to effigy out later she deflected one of his spells with her bare hands, and starts by putting his hands on her breasts, which isn't too dissimilar from the manner in which he learned Aura Vision with Shera. Unfortunately, this is simply a trick she used to get his guard down so she could literally paralyze Diablo, by magically short-circuiting his nervous organization. And so she proceeds to strip his pants and performs oral sexual activity on him, against his will, even acknowledging it's wrong to practice so, only treating it similar a harmless prank. "Hee Hee! Equally Rem's oneesan, I shouldn't exist doing this, no?" Shortly after the act is done, Rem walks into the area, not angry, not ranting, raving, or vehement. She just simply divorces him, on the spot, leaving him completely speechless.
• Elemental Powers: The Elemental Magic system found in both Cross Reverie game and the globe Takuma was summoned to. The game favors the arrangement, while the world looks downward on it.
  • Casting a Shadow
    • Gravity Master
    • Power of the Void
  • Blow You Away
  • Dishing Out Dirt
  • Light 'em Up
  • Making a Splash
    • An Water ice Person
  • Playing with Burn down
    • Having a Blast
• Elfeminate: Some of the male Elves such equally Celsior.
• Enemy Civil War: The Fallen really don't get along with each other very well. The merely matter that makes them combine their efforts is their hatred for the Half dozen Races. The members of the Vhal faction are little more than mindless beasts who attack the six races on sight without plan or preparation, and if they don't have the opportunity to set on just blend quietly into the forest that is their home. The "moderate" faction is desperate to wipe out every bit many of the half dozen races as they can, simply only strike when they believe they have a winning strategy in place. While the Edelgard faction doesn't care for the six races very much, they're content with "live and let live" if they're not directly antagonized, and seek only to serve the Demon Lord. The last ii really don't like each other and have come to blows, repeatedly.
• Expanded Universe: The new world. At first glance, it possess the aforementioned elements as from the game Cross Reverie that Diablo is familiar with. However, he afterward discovers that information technology possesses elements that weren't in the base game, such as Keera's heed control flute and the Force Hydra, or Rose's offensive abilities. This leads Diablo to the decision that every planned element from Cross Reverie is in the new world.
• Fantastic Arousal: Not merely does Diablo accidentally discover that Rem (like presumably most Pantherians), take very "sensitive" ears, but when volume 3 rolls effectually, office of the process involved trying to remove the slave collars that Rem and Shera accidentally got by having their summon contract on Diablo rebound, involves manipulating and inserting mana into others. His reluctant model, Shera, has an interesting reaction, and after puts Rem through the same experience.
  • Klem'due south horns later turn out to have a similar effect.
• Fantastic Racism: Appears in both Cross Reverie and the other earth. In the game, it is more than of a background setting. In the other world, information technology is a reality that some of the Humans discriminate against Demi-humans.
• Fictional Video Game: Cantankerous Reverie, the MMORPG that Takuma played and often references to compare the earth he was summoned in.
• Fighter, Mage, Thief: The principal job classes of adventurers in both Cross Reverie and the world are "Warrior", "Wizard", and "Archer". They take further derivations depending on what they specialize in.
• Commencement Town: In Cross Reverie, the first town is the Royal Capital Sevenwall.
• Formula with a Twist: The series is based on the twist that the protagonist is only pretending to be a Demon Lord. He is uncommonly powerful in the new globe, but existence chosen a Demon Lord in the first places was but an Appropriated Appelation he used while playing his MMORPG.
• Funny Background Consequence: In episode 12, after Sylvie susses out that the little blonde girl traveling with them is Krebskrum reborn, Emile spends the rest of the chat standing in the background, unmoving, rigid with shock, and sporting a pair of Blank White Eyes.
• Godlike Gamer: Takuma fit this to a T. In the MMORPG "Cross Reverie", he played equally the Demon Lord Diablo, who was so ridiculously skilled and powerful that no 1 dared to claiming him. In fact, he decided to concur back in order to keep things fun for himself. And so he'south cast into said world where he'due south reincarnated as his grapheme and finds anybody else is laughably underleveled.
• G-Rated Sexual activity: Subverted. The process to separate Krebskulm'due south soul from Rem kickoff appears to simply involve giving Krebskrum big amounts of mana. Unfortunately, to requite the mana to Krebskulm, and not to Rem, Diablo has to remove Rem's panties and insert his finger somewhere very, very frail.
• Gray-and-Grayness Morality: Surprisingly enough. While the Fallen are shown doing some terribly nasty things, at least on the battlefield, they are fighting for their very survival from extremists like the Holy Knights, and if there's no reason to fight, some like Edelgard'southward faction, are perfectly content with existence civil, polite, and happily tolerating peaceful coexistence. However, that only constitutes a small minority of the Fallen, most of whom want nothing more than the genocide of the six races. The six races also aren't shown to be much meliorate, with Fantastic Racism in every possible management, banditry, slavery, although highly idealized, and horrifically brutal Knight Templar General Ripper "Holy Knights" that have carte blanche to declare anyone "guilty" of existence a Demon Lord Worshiper, resulting in inflicting Torture for Fun and Data and and then "granting them conservancy" by killing them, at the level of unabridged towns! Thankfully, the Holy Knights and the Church as a whole are successfully reformed later in the lite novels (if only due to all the corrupt officials being wiped out past that betoken).
• Half-Human Hybrid: Noted to exist basically nonexistent. Information technology's said that the six races cannot interbreed. In that location is a fashion around that, nevertheless.
• Happiness in Slavery: When Diablo is introduced to a slave trader, the slaves are universally happy, and healthy in both mind and body. His two traveling companions Rem and Shera grow accustomed, and even fond of their slave collars that resulted from a magic blow, to Diablo'southward internal dismay, and the law of the land is that abusing slaves is a felony with harsh, undisclosed consequences. Even patrons to a legally sanctioned slave tent require a screening and a referral from a renown and reputable boondocks authority and are considered equivalent to patrons looking to buy a dearest pet, not someone seeking to exploit people. Although it is oft noted that there are illegal slave-traders in the setting as well. In-universe, this is highlighted as roughly beingness the equivalent of the difference between a pharmacy dispensing medicine with a valid prescription, and the way drug dealers operate.
• Hero'south Slave Harem: One of the Trope Codifiers. When Diablo is summoned, his ring that deflects all magic reverses the slave spell that the two girls who summoned him had used and thus makes them his slave instead of the other style around. At start, no one is happy with the arrangement and await for ways of reversing the spell, only later on Diablo shows himself to exist a Nice Guy underneath his Jerkass Façade, the girls fall in love with him. He acquires more girls later on (some, though not all, being slaves also).
• Humongous Mecha: The colonnade of Gelmudo's war-auto.
• Information technology Makes Sense in Context: Diablo describes his situation in the 4th novel thusly:

  Like this, Diablo misrepresented himself every bit God for the sake of biscuit expenses and avoiding spousal relationship.

• Imagine Spot: Diablo has a few where he pictures himself and other characters in scenarios gear up in his original earth.
• It E'er Rains at Funerals: 3 days later the Fallen'southward set on on the city, the funeral was held for all the adventurers that were killed past Grigore and appropriately enough, it was raining.
• Killed Off for Real: In Cross Reverie, the worst that can happen to a thespian when they are killed is a level-down punishment and a re-spawn at the last town they visited. In this world all the same, death is permanent. As such, very few people would be willing to gamble their lives to fight stronger monsters. Diablo likewise concluded this is what contributed to the circulation of what he considers low quality spells, skills, and weapons equally well as the promotion of the Summoner course since it is the easiest and safest class to learn as a magician and allows a higher take a chance of surviving a quest.
• Language Barrier: Kobolds and most of the "mortal races" tin can't understand each other, at all. The kobolds sometimes trade with dwarves, only humans treat them like wild beasts and try to drive them out of areas they settle and make towns in.
• Little Chip Beastly: Three of the six races: Dwarves have domestic dog ears and tails; Pantherians accept cat ears and tails; Grasswalkers take rabbit ears and tails. The more humanoid of the Fallen take animate being traits as well, usually on the reptilian side.
• A Magic Contract Comes with a Kiss: The slavery ritual for summoned beasts.
• Magic Is Mental: To cast spells, you have to think about what their game description describes, i.e. to bandage <Explosion>, Takuma has to imagine "Gathering hydrogen from the surrounding air and igniting it with magic".
• Magikarp Power: Elemental mages are considered useless and pathetic, because they, like about people, avert fighting whenever possible, and so they never reach the signal where they brainstorm getting powerful spells.
• Marry Them All: Diablo marries both Rem and Shera in Volume 8 of the light novels. (Although, there is a little mix-up with the rings to where Rem had technically married Shera instead of Diablo that takes a couple more volumes to correct.)
• Media Transmigration: Takuma Sakamoto is a shut-in Godlike Gamer who dominates the MMORPG called Cross Reverie as a character known as Diablo the Demon Lord. But and so one mean solar day he gets sucked into a world resembling Cantankerous Reverie, where he becomes his own overpowered player avatar Diablo.
• Men Are the Expendable Gender: Male antagonists are generally far less sympathetic than female antagonists, and far more than likely to end up dead. In improver, there are very few male protagonists aside from Diablo himself.
• Meta Guy: Past nature of being from the real globe, Diablo is aware of game quirks, and constantly lampshades various game tropes or comments on how things work for him in the game versus the game globe.
• Mugging the Monster: Most of the antagonists go and provoke Diablo, or his companions, without knowing anything about them, finding out too late that they're fashion outclassed. Information technology eventually segues into Bullying a Dragon and Too Dumb to Alive because people still go out of their way to provoke Diablo when his power, intelligence, competence, and tendency to brutally beat downwardly people who threaten him and his companions becomes well known.
• New Life in Another Earth Bonus: Diabolo possesses his MMORPG Cross Reverie's avatar granting him all of its abilities including his counter-stop level 150.
  • His virtually used equipment existence The Demon Lord'south Ring, a drop from defeating the Demon Lord of the Mind, Enkvalos, working as an absolute Set on Reflector against anything classified as magic. The merely downside is that it besides reflects positive magic bandage on him such equally healing and condition buff spells.
• Noodle Incident: I affair the story never explained so far is how Rem and Shera both came to be at the Starfall Belfry.
• Our Demons Are Different: There are at least iv classifications:
  • Demon Lords: Accented forces of evil that were separated into pieces and sealed away long ago.
    • While Diablo claims to be one himself (from another earth), he'southward actually just performing a huge roleplay bluff.
  • Demonic Beast: Monsters in the wild.
  • Fallen: An intelligent race that is depicted as antagonistic to the six races and subservient to the Demon Lords.
  • Demons: 1 of the six races. They look similar humans with tattoo markings that are said to be descended from the Fallen.
• Overdrawn at the Claret Bank: Played for some VERY dark laughs at the Adventurer's Guild. Instead of but signatures, the guild requires you to besides sign your contract with blood, obtained via a pocketknife. Diablo tries to cut slightly, ends upwards going to the bone, and spraying a poor guild clerk, the counter, the wall backside her, and over one-half of his contract with claret. In the next shot inside the Guildmaster's office, she's seen belongings the contract, which is now soaked completely red from the lesser one-half.
• Pragmatic Adaptation: The manga and anime adaptations omit, move, and modify some events from the light novels.
• Readings Are Off the Scale: At that place is a mirror that measures people's Ability Levels, measured by how much of your paradigm you tin can conspicuously see in it. When Diablo tries it, he's likewise powerful, so it malfunctions and shuts down. In the anime, it'south portrayed as causing the entire expanse effectually the gild to suddenly get dark after a chimera of red lightning-like streaks expands from the now pitch-black mirror.
• RPG-Mechanics Poetry: The world that Takuma was summoned to that is like to the game Cross Reverie. Information technology has levels, skills, and other things from the game.
• Separated by a Common Language: The light novels and English anime sub use the British term "biscuit" to draw Klem's favorite food, whereas the English dub of the anime goes with the American term of "cookie".
• Shout-Out:
  • At that place is a scene in Book 6 where Diablo wishes he could Return by Death.
  • A palette-swapped Expy of Usada Pekora appears every bit a background grapheme in the original broadcast version of Flavor 2 Episode two.
• Slave Collar: Slaves and contracted summoned beasts habiliment magically conjured ones. It'south an early plot signal that both types are near indistinguishable from each other, making people assume Rem and Shera were Made a Slave.
• Space Compression: Present in the game of Cantankerous Reverie, but not in the world versions. Equally a result, a distance that would have three minutes to walk in Cross Reverie takes three hours in existent life.
• Standard Fantasy Races: In the Cantankerous Reverie game there are six races players tin can choose from. In the other world, the 6 races are the main tribesmen that populate the globe. The Races are:
  • Humans
  • Dwarves: They have the addition of having dog ears and tails.
  • Elves: Pointy long ears, very ordinarily slender to the bespeak of androgynous.
    • Nighttime Elves: Similar to Elves just have darker peel. Females take giant breasts.
  • Grasswalkers: Small childlike rabbit-eared and -tailed.
  • Pantherians: Cat-eared and -tailed.
  • Demons: Tattooed humanoids said to be descended from the Fallen. The game has them physically weaker, but they do have high INT.
• Summoning Ritual: In both the Cross Reverie game and the world, <Summoners> get summoned beasts by going to <Starfall Tower> and performing a ritual then brand a slavery ritual.
• Summon Magic: A magic system constitute in both Cantankerous Reverie game and the world Takuma was summoned into. The game looks down on summoning, while the world favors it. The game considers it weak, while the earth puts the safety of the <Summoner> in high regard.
• Teleportation: A magic both in Cross Reverie and the other world. In the game, it is a scrap mutual. In the other world, it is more often than not merely rumors and not used past the masses.
• Thirsty Desert: Zirconia, the setting of Book 4, is this. Alongside the dangerous sand whales, the lack of h2o, and state of the management at the simply (relatively) safe settlement in the area, Diablo's personal dungeon also ends up here.
• Too Hot for Goggle box: A variation; the first season of the anime was officially released for free on Youtube, but was taken down shortly afterward considering it was also sexy and broke some of the rules.
• Translator Microbes: For some reason that is never explained, Diablo not only understands every word said to him, regardless of the language, but when he speaks dorsum, his words are automatically translated into the language of the people he's addressing, in their minds. He cannot read nor write in any of the native languages, however.
• Trapped in Some other World: Takuma was summoned in the starting time chapter as his Cross Reverie character Diablo.
• Trauma Inn: Deconstructed. While the game of Cross Reverie has the mechanic, in the new earth, when Diablo over-used his MP, and suffered the proper loss of motivation, i.east. mental strength, the apathy didn't disappear despite him being cooped up in the inn for ten days. It took him seeing Shera in Go-Go Enslavement to snap him out of it. The 2nd time it happened it took Sylvie serving him a strong alcohol with MP restoring backdrop to get him going once more only in a drunken stupor he mistook her for a body pillow, pulled her close, stripped her naked, brought her to orgasm, and fell asleep with her nevertheless naked and unable to interruption gratuitous of his grip.
• Unequal Rites: At that place are two main types of magic-user, summoners and elemental mages. Summoners are near useless in Cross Reverie, while in the actual world elemental mages can barely do annihilation.
• Unfortunate Implications: In-universe. As is revealed in Volume 11, at the founding of the human being kingdom, with Loads and Loads of Races, without even the concept of a Turing Test, humanity needed some "objective" method to tell the difference between sentient beings and animals. The method they chose? You lot tin speak common, you're a sentient, fifty-fifty the Fallen. You tin't, you're a "impaired" fauna. Then the Fantastic Racism sets in...
• Yin-Yang Bomb: When light and dark elemental energies clash, they don't just cancel each other out, as ane would expect. They dilate each other's destructive power in a manner eerily similar to a matter-antimatter explosion. Diablo exploits this in Volume x to deal with the volume's Large Bad.
