* ImmediateSequel: Lunatea's Veil ends with a scene where you see the Wind Ring on a wooden table [[TheStinger after the credits are done.]] This fanfiction turns quickly picks up on this scene on the first chapter and reveals that it's Klonoa waking up in Kio's house after he was found unconscious in a lake.
*** Despite the story starting with Klonoa falling through the void, he tells exactly what happened after leaving Lunatea later on in the story. Revealing that Lunatea disappeared all around him in a ripple, until nothing but a white void was left. Keeping on walking for what felt like hours and hours, he felt more hurt as time passed, until he dropped to his knees, lost consciousness, and began falling downwards in the void. Years pass as he grows into a teenager and his clothes change. Floating in the void unconsciously until it comes back around to the events of the first chapter, with the voice of Huepow calling out to him and Klonoa regaining consciousness.

* SheIsNotMyGirlfriend: In the first arc, Kio is constantly teasing Klonoa due to him worrying about Lolo a lot. Klonoa tries to deny it every time, claiming she's just a really good friend he cares for. Given it's been years since he last saw her and never knew what happened since, it's a valid point in almost everyone's eyes except for Kio. Eventually Klonoa avoids the discussion with him altogether. [[spoiler:But of course, after coming back to Lunatea, reuniting with Lolo and traveling through the land with her to stop the Prince of Sorrow, he realises
that deep down he ''does'' have romantic feelings for her.]]

*** Zweegle [[labelnote:*]]who originally was an anemic and kicked the bucket offscreen [[/labelnote]] is now a psychopathic goblin who has unknown origins within Phantomile, nicknamed 'The Count'. He's been bitten by a bat hundreds of years ago, and turned into what people called 'a heretic vampire'. Soon after, he went crazy and burned down his home town, killing everyone in the village and feasting on their blood, including his own childhood friends and family. Since then he claims he's been roaming the world for hundreds of years just searching for more blood to devour. Finally ending up in the tournament, claimed by Zweegle 'to have found paradise, full of the strongest fighters with the richest blood there ever could be'

* SignificantNameShift: Lolo seems to have started calling Leorina by her old name, Leo, out of respect for her original roots as a priestess... [[ThatWomanIsDead despite the latter's insistence that she doesn't go by that name anymore]].

*** Gomeroth, [[labelnote:*]]nicknamed 'The Fishing Frog' [[/labelnote]] despite not revealing his main motivation on joining the tournament and only claiming to have come all the way from the seas, seems very dead-set on winning after being looked down upon by Klonoa and Huepow... which quickly explains how he got so far up to this point.
*** Suiryu [[labelnote:*]]nicknamed 'The Water Dragon' [[/labelnote]] is now an ancient dragon who's lived for hundreds of years in Jugpot, having hidden his true powers and living among Jugpot as a respectful and regular-classed Jugpot Soldier. The reason he's so set on making it to the final match is for the thrill of fighting a very strong opponent, but after being outbeat by Klonoa, he is satisfied. Only he knows something about Clawford's true identity, and reveals it to Klonoa after the battle.

* [[spoiler: GoldenSuperMode: Both Klonoa and his son can enter this when enraged enough. The former even fought VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog to see what the latter's own SuperMode was like.]]

* GoldenSuperMode: Both Klonoa and his son can enter this when enraged enough. The former even fought VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog to see what the latter's own SuperMode was like.

* GainingTheWillToKill: Klonoa isn't too keen on the prospect of killing the Shinigami Gang's members - [[WhatMeasureIsANonHuman as they're not nightmare creatures]] - even when Leorina insists that they're beyond reasoning, and they won't hesitate to kill ''him'' first. He only decides to go through with it when he witnesses the extremes each member will go to for his head (such as endangering innocent civilians in Tommey's case)... [[ItNeverGetsAnyEasier though it only gets harder on Klonoa's mind with each member he's forced to kill...]]

* ItsPersonalWithTheDragon: Klonoa's grudge against Joka for [[YouKilledMyFather killing his grandfather]] is more pronounced here than it was in ''Door to Phantomile''. So much so that when he kills Joka once again, he scream-cries in relief that his grandfather has finally been avenged properly.

* WeCanRebuildHim: A variation of this. After the BrainwashedAndCrazy Prince of Sorrow almost kills Leorina, her dying body's taken back to Volk City by Tat and she manages to keep her alive with with artificial implants. Later on, Leorina herself installs cybernetic enhancements into her body (including a switchable machine gun arm) due to the easy possibility of it.

** In the game, [[MonsterClown Joka]] is killed by the heroes at Volk City. Here, his presence at Volk [[ActuallyADoombot turned out to be just a second clone]], and he's finally KilledOffForReal at the Lunar Base.
** While Garlen was absorbed by Nahatomb in the game, he's killed by the heroes here for ordering the hit on Guntz's father, and for [[DirtyOldMan perving out on Lolo Jr.]]
** Speaking of Nahatomb, the game had him killed by the heroes and everyone who was trapped in nightmares, as they sent all of their positive dreams to overwhelm him. Because the nightmare element was AdaptedOut, he instead dies by losing a BeamOWar to Klonoa Jr.

* SlashedThroat: Klonoa swiftly kills Tommey this way to prevent him from shooting up more innocent civilians.

** All members of the Shinigami Gang[[labelnote:*]]Excluding Butz[[/labelnote]], who are a group of wolven hybrid outcasts who come afar from the mainland of Lunatea.

* PunnyName: The Shinigami[[labelnote:*]]Death God[[/labelnote]] Gang. Also applies to it members, most of whom are named after their weapon of choice: Butz, Pistoro, Tommey, Tanku, Bakzookat and Sunai.

* SlashedThroat: How Klonoa kills Tommey in chapter 25.

* AccidentalMisnaming: Lolo seems to have a habit of calling Leorina by her priestess name, Leo, [[ThatWomanIsDead despite the latter's insistence that she doesn't go by that name anymore]].
