* BedmateReveal: [[spoiler:Ferris and Ryner in episode 22 and considering what she [[TheCasanova thinks of him]] it's even [[CrowningMomentOfFunny funnier.]]]]

* ShutUpHannibal: Ferris delivers an [[CrowningMomentOfAwesome epic one]] to [[spoiler: Lir]] in episode 20.

* TheCasanova[=/=]MemeticMolester: Ferris constantly accuses Ryner being one of these.
* CastFullOfPrettyBoys

* KillingIntent: Expect this to be mentioned often in the novels, as any {{Badass}} has been trained to detect it.

* WorldOfBadass: Nearly everyone can fight on some degree, what with the number of [[TykeBomb Tyke Bombs]][=/=][[ChildSoldier Child Soldiers]] and [[SuperpowerLottery Superpower Lotteries]] being won, and even some of those who can't fight are still fairly BadAss in their own way.

* CastingGag:
** Ryner shares [[Creator/JunFukuyama his seiyuu]] with a few characters with magic eyes. The dub took a more specific direction -- given that the eyes are pentagrams, the director of ''BlackButler'' is an interesting choice.
** [[Creator/LuciChristian Ferris]] having a love of (munching on) multicolored dango will possibly bring amusement to ''VisualNovel/{{Clannad}}'' fans.

** Ryner shares [[Creator/JunFukuyama his seiyuu]] with [[CodeGeass a]] [[RentalMagica few]] [[XXXholic characters]] with magic eyes. The dub took a more specific direction -- given that the eyes are pentagrams, the director of ''BlackButler'' is an interesting choice.

* BokeAndTsukkomiRoutine: Ryner is tsukkomi to almost everyone in the show, but Ferris is the boke most of the times -- [[AbuseIsOkayWhenItsFemaleOnMale a rather violent one who doesn't think she's the boke]]. This is especially obvious in a short story where Ferris writes a book and attempts to strangle Ryner whenever he points out how ridiculous her story is.

* AbuseIsOkayWhenItIsFemaleOnMale: Ferris to Ryner. Abuse Is ''Also'' Okay When It Is Male On Male applies too in the light novels, with Ryner twisting Sion's arm so badly Sion was afraid his shoulder would get dislocated. [[WouldHurtAChild Ryner]] also knocks Iris out purely to get her to be quiet, so it might be safe to say that Ryner and Ferris are just [[JerkWithAHeartOfGOld jerks]] in general.

** ''Super Weight'': Anyone with a [[FantasticNuke Rhule Fragmei]], [[BrilliantButLazy Ryner]] [[SuperpoweredEvilSide Lute]], [[DitzyGenius Zohra Rom]], [[EnergyAbsorption Tiir]], [[SuperStrength Claugh Klom]], [[BadassAdorable Milk]], [[CastingAShadow Miran Frouade]].

** [[spoiler:Lucile]] cuts off [[spoiler:Froaude's]] arm, though the latter reattaches it easily (and [[spoiler:Lucile]] had offered to do it for him either way, as he was more so proving a point than anything else).

** [[spoiler:Tiir]], ironically, loses his arm while fighting [[spoiler:Lucile]], though with his powers, it reattaches without any problem.

''The Legend of the Legendary Heroes'' (''Densetsu no Yuusha no Densetsu'') is a series of LightNovels written by Takaya Kagami, illustrated by Saori Toyota, and published by Fujimi Shobo [[LongRunners since 2002]]. It received an anime adaptation in 2010, created by {{Creator/ZEXCS}} and licensed by Creator/FUNimation, as well as various manga adaptations/spinoffs.

Despite its relatively light-hearted premise, this show is extremely fond of [[MoodWhiplash Mood Whiplashes]]. Prepare yourself for {{Berserk}} undertones.

''Densetsu no Yuusha no Densetsu'' (''The Legend of the Legendary Heroes'') is a 2010 anime series based on a popular series of LightNovels (which also has a {{Manga}} adaptation). It tells the story of Ryner Lute, a young mage who bears an [[MagicalEye Alpha Stigma]], which grants him incredible magic power at the cost of making him go a tiny bit [[SuperpoweredEvilSide insane]] sometimes. After surviving a brutal battle, he is tasked by his friend Sion Astal (who also happens to be the king of Roland, the country they live in) with obtaining relics of the so-called legendary heroes who saved the kingdom from monsters in the distant past.

* AbuseIsOkayWhenItIsFemaleOnMale: Ferris to Ryner. Abuse Is ''Also'' Okay When It Is Male On Male applies too in the light novels, with Ryner twisting Sion's arm so badly Sion was afraid his shoulder would get dislocated.

* [[spoiler:AfterTheEnd]]: Many, many times.
* [[spoiler:AllMythsAreTrue]]

* BadassFamily: The Erises and the Orla siblings.

* [[spoiler:EternalRecurrence]]
* EverybodysDeadDave: [[spoiler:All of the students except Ryner, Sion, and Kiefer are killed by the Magic Knights in episode 3.]]

* [[spoiler:FlingALightIntoTheFuture: What the past Sion did by altering the curse. Granted, he didn't exactly do it to help the future generations as so much as he did it to RageAgainstTheHeavens, leaving behind a mark of his bitterness]].

* MacGuffin: The legendary artifacts the Ryner and Ferris are looking for.

* TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt: [[spoiler: Happens every 1000 years. Wonder if anyone out there is keeping count.]]

* AbuseIsOkayWhenItIsFemaleOnMale: Ferris to Ryner. Every single episode.
** To be fair, Abuse Is Okay When It Is Male On Male applies too in the light novels, with Ryner twisting Sion's arm so badly Sion was afraid his shoulder would get dislocated.

* PortmanteauSeriesNickname: ''DenYuuDen.''

* [[spoiler:IncestIsRelative: To keep the Eris line pure, the family has the dark tradition to [[BrotherSisterIncest marry off brother and sister together]]. Ferris was supposed to marry her big brother Lucile, but then it was planned by her parents that she would be used by her parents [[{{Squick}} for producing another, more suitable female heir]] when she turns fourteen. [[SelfMadeOrphan Big brother Lucile]] [[BigBrotherInstinct prevented it from happening]].]]

* [[spoiler:RageAgainstTheHeavens: The eventual direction of the series]].

* [[spoiler:ScrewDestiny: Alongside RageAgainstTheHeavens, this seems to be the backbone of the ultimate plot]].

* [[spoiler:ViciousCycle: The vessels for the Mad Hero and the Lonesome Demon are chosen, with the Mad Hero vessel ultimately having to devour the Lonesome Demon vessel(s) to gain their power in order to prevent TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt--and, given the present situation, have failed each time to truly change anything. The previous Sion in particular crossed the DespairEventHorizon at the end and, out of his bitterness towards the entire thing, used that power to alter the cycle]].

** [[LuciChristian Ferris]] having a love of (munching on) multicolored dango will possibly bring amusement to ''VisualNovel/{{Clannad}}'' fans.

** Ryner shares [[JunFukuyama his seiyuu]] with [[CodeGeass a]] [[RentalMagica few]] [[XXXholic characters]] with magic eyes. The dub took a more specific direction -- given that the eyes are pentagrams, the director of ''BlackButler'' is an interesting choice.

* RelationshipVoiceActor:
** Here we go again with DaisukeOno and Creator/TomokazuSugita.
** And now we have both Creator/JunFukuyama and Creator/TakahiroSakurai of CodeGeass fame. [[spoiler: It's a pretty major role-reversal too.]]

* AcquiredPoisonImmunity: It's noted that Biore went through this as part of her training as an assassin.

* ADayInTheLimelight: Various characters get one.
** Fiole has a short story showing how he met Sion and various scenes from his POV.
** Claugh is the POV character for most of one volume of ''The Legend of the Fallen Dark Hero'', detailing his DarkAndTroubledPast (and by association, [[ChildhoodFriends Luke]] and Calne's).
** Similarly to Claugh, Lucile also narrates most of one volume of the aforementioned spin-off, showing his own backstory and how he came to be the way he is now.

* OddNameOut: The three Eris siblings are named Iris, Ferris, and...Lucile.

* YouWillKnowWhatToDo: Essentially what Ryner's given before the fight between Gastark and Geihilficlant, as [[ManipulativeBastard Vois]] won't say how exactly Ryner's supposed to save them all. [[spoiler:Namely because it involves him dying]].

* DoItYourselfThemeTune: The second ending is sung by Ferris's [[AyahiTakagaki Japanese voice actor]].
