* AvengersAssemble: Aeon has gathered a team of some of the greatest heroes from across the Castlevania timeline. However, the others are currently staying in the dimensionally-displaced Castle Canterlot, training the Royal Guards there, due to Aeon's fear that Dracula will attack it [[spoiler: and because his powers have diminished to the point he ''can't'' move anyone other than himself between dimensions]].
* BreakTheCutie: Roseluck. In the first book, the Castle torments her mind with images she can’t understand. Near the beginning of the story, she’s relatively well-adjusted; by the time she’s met Twilight, she’s described as creepy and warped. By ''My Little Castlevania Adventure'', she's been declared mentally unstable and locked up in the Hospital's mental ward.
* CallBack: [[CastlevaniaSymphonyOfTheNight "The same could be said of all relig]] -- er, sales ethics..."
* CassandraTruth: Roseluck fears this will be the case if she or Twilight try to warn anyone about the visions the Castle is tormenting her with.
* DemonicPossession: In his first scene, Alucard teaches a group of Royal Guards how to recognize the signs of this, and whether or not it is voluntary.
* EvilerThanThou: Applejack describes the feeling from Dracula's rib as worse than Nightmare Moon, King Sombra, and even Dracula's minions themselves.
* ForWantOfANail: The Castle arrived the night that Twilight received [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS3E13MagicalMysteryCure Star Swirl the Bearded's journal]], meaning she never had a chance to read it, ultimately meaning she never became an alicorn.
* SheIsNotMyGirlfriend: Jonathan has the same reaction towards people talking about his relationship with Charlotte.
**Luna teases Celestia about having a crush on Julius Belmont. Celestia immediately changes the subject... [[ShipTease but she doesn't deny it.]]
* LikeBrotherAndSister: Spitfire and Shatterstorm.
* ThePeepingTom: Applejack apparently caught Dirt Nap watching her sleep. Several times.
* SealedGoodInACan: WordOfGod strongly implies this is the cause of Luna and Celestia's disappearances. They, their castle, and everyone in it, are currently in another dimension than Equestria.
* [[spoiler: SecretlyDying]]: Revealed to be the case with Aeon in ''My Little Castlevania Adventure''.
*ShipperOnDeck: Aeon ships [[ChildhoodFriendRomance JonathanXCharlotte]], to which [[SheIsNotMyGirlfriend Jonathan denies.]]

* AvengersAssemble: Aeon has gathered a team of some of the greatest heroes from across the Castlevania timeline. However, the others are currently staying in the dimensionally-displaced Castle Canterlot, training the Royal Guards there, due to Aeon's fear that Dracula will attack it [[spoiler: and because his powers have diminished to the point he ''can't'' move anyone other than himself between dimensions]].
* BreakTheCutie: Roseluck. In the first book, the Castle torments her mind with images she can’t understand. Near the beginning of the story, she’s relatively well-adjusted; by the time she’s met Twilight, she’s described as creepy and warped. By ''My Little Castlevania Adventure'', she's been declared mentally unstable and locked up in the Hospital's mental ward.

* EvilerThanThou: Applejack describes the feeling from Dracula's rib as worse than Nightmare Moon, King Sombra, and even Dracula's minions themselves.
* ForWantOfANail: The Castle arrived the night that Twilight received [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS3E13MagicalMysteryCure Star Swirl the Bearded's journal]], meaning she never had a chance to read it, ultimately meaning she never became an alicorn.
* SheIsNotMyGirlfriend: Jonathan has the same reaction towards people talking about his relationship with Charlotte.
**Luna teases Celestia about having a crush on Julius Belmont. Celestia immediately changes the subject... [[ShipTease but she doesn't deny it.]]
* LikeBrotherAndSister: Spitfire and Shatterstorm.

* SealedGoodInACan: WordOfGod strongly implies this is the cause of Luna and Celestia's disappearances. They, their castle, and everyone in it, are currently in another dimension than Equestria.
