** [[StreetFighter Akuma]], [[VideoGame/TheWorldEndsWithYou Sho Minamimoto]] and [[Manga/FullmetalAlchemist Barry The Chopper]] would have joined the Black Knights, though they still get cameos in the final version.

* TheOmniscientCouncilOfVagueness: [[spoiler:iXIII, though they admittedly don't do much.]] And [[Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion SEELE]], of course, but YouShouldKnowThisAlready.

* DisappearedDad: Mao somehow gets the idea into his head that [[Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion Keel Lorenz]] is his father, just because they both have white hair and wear a visor. [[EpilepticTrees Whether or not this is true is intentionally left vague.]] Oh, and Gendo Ikari, but YouShouldKnowThisAlready.

* FiveManBand: By the end of the story we have multiple:

* ActionPrologue

* BadassNormal: Suzaku, Kamina, and Kallen [[spoiler:[[EmpoweredBadassNormal pre-transformation]]]] is this. Rivalz wants to be this.
* BalefulPolymorph: Several examples: [[spoiler:Shirley]] goes through UnwillingRoboticisation as a result of a villain's plan to mess with Lelouch. [[spoiler:Euphemia]] goes through the same thing as an EmergencyTransformation. [[spoiler: Kallen]] is turned into a demon as a result of a [[DealWithTheDevil Deal With]] [[spoiler:[[DealWithTheDevil Izinami]]]] GoneHorriblyRight. [[spoiler:Milly]] experiances this after some really nasty PhlebotinumBreakdown.

* BlackAndGreyMorality
* BlindSeer: [[spoiler: Nunnally]]

* MarySue: Defied by Hope, Lampshaded by Kyon, hopefully averted elsewhere [[spoiler:Invoked by the character of the same name]].
->[[spoiler:'''Marie Sue:''' I wanted to pick a name that represented the gap between myself and that of your pathetic species. Honestly, you humans have poor imaginations.]]

* WholePlotReference: An ongoing sub-plot where [[spoiler: Adachi]] must defeat [[spoiler:Izinami's]] [[ComicBook/ScottPilgrim seven evil ex-boyfriends.]] Seeing that she's a ''god'', these include the likes of [[Myth/NorseMythology Loki]], [[Myth/ClassicalMythology Hades]], [[Franchise/CthulhuMythos Narylthotep]], [[Series/StargateSG1 Ba'al]], [[Franchise/{{Disgaea}} Tyrant Baal]], and [[Myth/JapaneseMythology Izinagi]]. Most of these end in bizzare anti-climaxes and {{Deus ex Machina}}s.

* YouNoTakeCandle: Rivalz speaks extravagantly broken Japanese, but since almost the entire cast can speak English anyway that's not too much of a problem. [[Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann Kamina]], on the other hand, speaks poor English except when he's quoting action movies.

** WhatCouldPossiblyGoWrong: Amoung the senior staff are such [[BlatantLies trustworthy]] men as [[Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion Gendo Ikari]], [[Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion Keel Lorenz]], [[VideoGame/HalfLife Dr. Wallace Breen]], [[VideoGame/MegaManClassic Dr. Wiley]], [[Wiki/SCPFoundation Dr. Jack Bright]], [[spoiler:[[VideoGame/{{Persona}} Dr. Igor]]]], and our resident OnlySaneMan [[Anime/CodeGeass Dr. Odysseus Lamperogue]][[note]]Remember Odysseus? First prince of Brittania? Only got like, three lines over two seasons? Not very GenreSavvy?[[/note]].

* OriginalCharacters

** Originally, [[Franchise/MetalGear Solid Snake]] and [[Franchise/AssassinsCreed Ezio]] would been in the story, and have teamed up.

* WholePlotReference: An ongoing sub-plot where [[spoiler: Adachi]] must defeat [[spoiler:Izinami's]] [[ComicBook/ScottPilgrim seven evil ex-boyfriends.]] Seeing that she's a ''god'', these include the likes of [[Myth/NorseMythology Loki]], [[Myth/GreekMythology Hades]], [[Franchise/CthulhuMythos Narylthotep]], [[Series/StargateSG1 Ba'al]], [[Franchise/{{Disgaea}} Tyrant Baal]], and [[Myth/JapaneseMythology Izinagi]]. Most of these end in bizzare anti-climaxes and {{Deus ex Machina}}s.

* ElsewhereFic: Despite being set in the KingdomHearts multiverse, the story doesn't involve any Disney, Square, or Kingdom Hearts characters aside from [[spoiler: Xion]] and the Heartless. [[spoiler: At least, untill the finale]]

* MagnificentBastard: Lelouch (obviously), [[spoiler:Schneizel's [[KingdomHearts Nobody]]]], Itsuki[[spoiler:'s Nobody]], Gendo Ikari, M. Bison...

* TheMultiverse: The world if Bonus Round is stated to be somewhere in the KingdomHearts multiverse, though this doesn't really become a major plot point untill the TournamentArc.

** [[spoiler:Schneizel's [[KingdomHearts Nobody]]]]

** LightNovel/HaruhiSuzumiya
** Itsuki[[spoiler:'s [[KingdomHearts Nobody]]]]

A CodeGeass MegaCrossover in progress.

** WhatCouldPossiblyGoWrong: Amoung the senior staff are such [[BlatantLies trustworthy]] men as [[Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion Gendo Ikari]], [[Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion Keel Lorenz]], [[VideoGame/HalfLife Dr. Wallace Breen]], [[VideoGame/MegaManClassic Dr. Wiley]], [[Wiki/SCPFoundation Dr. Jack Bright]], [[spoiler:[[VideoGame/{{Persona}} Dr. Igor]]]], and our resident OnlySaneMan [[CodeGeass Dr. Odysseus Lamperogue]][[note]]Remember Odysseus? First prince of Brittania? Only got like, three lines over two seasons? Not very GenreSavvy?[[/note]].

* LaserGuidedAmnesia: Subverted for Lelouch. He has all of his memories from the Canon!CodeGeass world, but most of them are pretty much useless.
* PossessionImpliesMastery: Pretty much averted with Kyon and [[KingdomHearts [[spoiler:The Keyblade]]]]. An ([[InvokedTrope invoked]]) TrainingMontage just barely gets him past the first round of the tournament arc, and even then he only suceeds beacuse he fought a JokeCharacter that time. This power discrepancy becomes even more apparent in the finalie, when he lags behind [[spoiler:Sora and company]] even with [[spoiler: Nagato's last-ditch gift of rebuilding Kyon's body into a more sturdy form and a complete knowledge of every fighting style known to man]].

* SlidingScaleOfIdealismVersusCynicism: A shade lighter than CodeGeass.

* TournamentArc: In the form of the [[StreetFighter M. Bison]]-sponsored "World Warriors" tournament, hosted by [[VideoGame/DeadRising Tyrone King]], and commentated by WebVideo/TheNostalgiaCritic and [[VideoGame/{{Persona 4}} Teddie]]. Yes, in all seriousness, that is the setup I'm going for. [[spoiler: The only reason the main characters arn't knocked out in the preliminaries is beacuse Bison set up the whole thing as a trap so he could brainwash the greatest warriors on the planet into joining Shadaloo.]]

** PlayedForLaughs in almost every battle with [[spoiler:Izinami's]] [[ScottPilgrim seven evil ex-boyfriends,]] ranging from Hades setting off the sprinkler system, to WebComic/AxeCop (who had not appeared anywhere else in the story untill now) suddenly bursting through the door and cutting of Narylthotep's avatar's head beacuse his "Cop senses were tingling".

In the year 2000, the world was ravaged by [[Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion Second Impact]]. But [[AlternateUniverse unlike]] [[{{Canon}} certain]] [[Fanfic/ShinjiAndWarhammer40K other]] [[NobodyDies worlds]] where Second Impact occured, the this disaster not only destroyed most of the known world, but also unleashed an ancient energy known as "Magic" from a long dormant state.

* PosessionImpliesMastery: Pretty much averted with Kyon and [[KingdomHearts [[spoiler:The Keyblade]]]]. An ([[InvokedTrope invoked]]) TrainingMontage just barely gets him past the first round of the tournament arc, and even then he only suceeds beacuse he fought a JokeCharacter that time.

* TranslationConventions: Since the story takes place in Japan, Japanese dailogue is written in English, but English dialogue is written in brackets <Like this>.
* TheMagicComesBack: An unforseen result of [[Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion Second Impact]]. While the re-appearance of magic was hand-waved as the planet's insticntive reaction to an End-Of-The-World scenario, the real reason is that [[spoiler: The reason for the "Contact Experiment" was to try an open the Gate of Dreams, which leads to Arcadia, the ancestral home of the Fey. SEELE's plan was to use the Gate fuse Earth with Arcadia, and allow Humanity to AcendToAHigherPlaneOfExistance just as the ancestors of the Fey had billions of years ago. While it turned out that it was impossible to fully open the Gate perminantly until the Guardians (I.E., the Angels) are destroyed, but partial opening caused a perminant spike in the world's magic level. Also, every world has it's own gate, and each world has Guardians tasked with protecting it, and Witches tasked with opening it furthur.]]
