History Anime / DiGiCharatSpecials

* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Creator/SentaiFilmworks' release of the specials has some examples of this:
** Piyoko's full name is spelled "Pyocolat Analog III" instead the official "Pyocola Analogue III"
** Rik, Coo & Ky's names are spelled "Riku, Kuu and Kai" rather than their official spellings, in addition to this Ky's last name is spelled "Schwarzer" instead of "Schweitzer" like it is officially
** Rodoyan's name is rendered as "Rod Young".

* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: Mr. Manager isn’t too upset about the Black Gema Gema Gang opening up a store directly across the road from Gamers as he always wanted some competition. A few days later the Gema's store has stolen all of Gamers’ customers.

** Murataku grumbles about Piyoko adding “pyo” to the end of her sentences.

* NeverMyFault: Episode 3 has Piyoko blame Dejiko for her lying face down on the asphalt and getting burned. When the Gebas point out how that reasoning doesn’t make sense, Piyoko blows them all up with an upchuck Bazooka.
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: Dejiko seeing Takeshi and Yoshimi, two of her most loyal fans, shopping at the Black Gema Gema Gang’s store helps to clue her into something being fishy about that store.
* ScrewTheRulesIHaveMoney: Paya-paya, the slug-man regularly does things under the pretense of being rich.

* CallBack: Dejiko promises that the cake she bakes won’t explode this time.

* LimitedWardrobe: Averted at first, with most of the cast dressing, or at least trying to dress, fancy for the cruise they are going to embark on. However, Dejiko chooses to ditch the outfit she’s wearing for her regular attire due to finding it hard to move in. After doing so, she demands that everyone else also switch to their usual attire, all of whom do.
* MythologyGag: The present that Dejiko’s mother sends her is a piece of Broccoli. Di Gi Charat is owned by a company called {{Creator/Broccoli}}.
* NakedPeopleAreFunny: When Dejiko is chastising everyone for failing to dress fancy, she sees that Mr. Manger is wearing nothing but a tuxedo over his blue body, she quickly points out that this means he was always naked. Mr. Manager does not deny it.

* ClosetSublet: The first episode features Piyoko and the Black Gema Gang invading and living in Dejiko’s closet.

* InvoluntaryShapeshifting: One of the symptoms of Dejiko’s sickness is that she transforms into random objects.

* UngratefulBastard: Rabi~en~Rose risks her life to find a rare fruit to cure Dejiko’s illness. Dejiko’s immediate response is to call her [[DoNotCallMePaul Usada]] and the two immediately go back to fighting.
* WeWantOurJerkBack: Downplayed example in the fourth episode. Dejiko gets an illness that causes her to become much nicer, and Rabi~en~Rose is the only one who wants her to return to normal as she feels things are now boring.

* AbusiveParents: As if they weren’t bad enough in the original series, Rabi~en~Rose’s parents not only make her paddle all the way to America using nothing but her ears, but they also set up a fake home and address in order to trick her, turning her entire trek into a ShaggyDogStory.

* OccidentalOtaku: Rod Young, a WholesomeCrossdresser who claims to be Dejiko's biggest fan, who is portrayed as very annoying for everyone in the cast
* PlotIrrelevantVillain: Piyoko and her gang are this in the first two episodes of the special. They spend both episodes stranded in other continents, and not encountering the rest of the cast until the end of the second episode.

* ShaggyDogStory: Rabi~en~Rose, Piyoko, and to a lesser extent, Dejiko’s trips to America are ultimately this.
** Rabi~en~Rose’s parents gave her the wrong address on purpose, meaning her whole reason for heading there was pointless.

* StylisticSuck: [=DePuRaPyoGeBou’s=] music not only sounds horrible but is animated horribly as well.
* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: Everyone in [=DePuRaPyoGeBou=] were given their instruments only a short while before the show and thus had little time to actually practice. Unsurprisingly they end up sounding absolutely terrible and only end up being saved by Dejiko’s singing abilities.
* TakeThat: There’s an extended take that against the OccidentalOtaku stereotype, portraying Rod Young as a most annoying type of fan for Dejiko and the rest of the cast.

* AccidentalHero: Mr. Manager saves the girls from Gema’s wrath when he opens up the ice cream cone.

* TheDogBitesBack: Gema’s Abode has Gema get back at Dejiko, Puchiko, and Rabi~en~Rose by tormenting them with his MindScrew world.

* NotSoAboveItAll: Gema gleefully joins Dejiko and Puchiko in mocking Rabi~en~Rose’s moment with Minataku.

* PlayingATree: Murataku and Bukumi end up being cast as a tree and grass respectively in Minataku’s play.

* SayIt: Gema demands that the trio call him “Gema-sama” and “Please forgive me Gema-sama”.
* StrongFamilyResemblance: Gema’s parents look exactly like him, except wearing some accessories.
* TookALevelInBadass: Gema is much more formidable in his world, possessing several RealityWarper powers and making short work of Dejiko, Puchiko, and Usada.

** The ''Natsuyasumi Special'' became “''A Trip to America''”.

* ShaggyDogStory: Rabi~en~Rose, Piyoko, and to a lesser extent, Dejiko’s trips to America are ultimately this, although Dejiko's is downplayed.

* ChristmasEpisode: Unsurprisingly the special takes place during Christmas.

* ComociallySmallBribe: Dejiko tries to convince Puchiko and Usada to join her band by offering them both a week's worth of the ten-year supply of natto if they win.

* TooDumbTooLive: Despite no longer being in his world, Gema still tries to [[BullyingADragon force Dejiko, Puchiko, and Usada to apologize and bend to his will.]] The trio quickly ties him to his ice cream cone and tosses him away into a river.

* ShockinglyExpensiveBill: After destroying her room, Dejiko and Gema begin calculating the total cost of repairs. It comes out to a very high price which causes the Black Gemas to run away.

* EpicFail: Piyoko manages to fail at hitting her drum kit several times during the performance. This ends up chasing her RageQuit and destroy the stage.

* AllThereInTheScript: Paya Paya, the slug man, never has his name stated in the special and it is only given in the credits.

* MarketBasedTitle: All the specials, with the exception of the Christmas Special, had their names changed on the Di Gi Charat Blu-Ray release by Creator/SentaiFilmworks.
