* NamesToKnowInAnime: Suigintou has two famous voice actresses - [[MamikoNoto one]] in the audio dramas and [[RieTanaka one]] in the anime.

* {{Creepy Doll}}s: From the Rozen series, we have [[{{Yandere}} Kirakishou]]. [[BrokenBird Suigintou]] used to be one before being revealed as an AntiVillian. [[spoiler:Then there's Kirakishou's new "sisters".]]

* InvisibleToNormals: The N-Field and its influence on the world. [[spoiler:Kirakishou uses this trope to her advantage.]]

* ShoutOut: One chapter of ''Tales'' has a garden of talking, giant roses. Some are quite rude, other are more decent, all love to gossip. Like the roses in ''Literature/AliceInWonderland''.

* ShowWithinAShow: "[[DetectiveConan Detective Kun-kun]]".

* AlasPoorVillain: [[spoiler:Suigintou]], twice.[[hottip:*:First, when she is defeated in the first season, showing her incomplete body as she falls apart. Then in the second season, when she was about to attack Shinku, but held back because she did not want to hurt Megu, and finally make a DivingSave, shielding Shinku from Barasuishou's attack]]. Another is [[spoiler:Barasuishou]], although some call it a KarmicDeath considering [[ISurrenderSuckers how she defeated]] [[spoiler:Shinku]].

* PolarOppositeTwins: The -seiseki twins; their heterochromia are even on opposite sides.

* SiblingYinYang: Souseiseki is calm, collected, thoughtful and doesn't overuse her VerbalTic; Suiseiseki is loud, naughty, haughty and [[MemeticMutation overuses her verbal tic]].
** In the manga and in ''Ouverture'', Souseiseki is very obviously hawkish and aggressive and Suiseiseki is timid and passive.
*** ''Träumend'' also shows Souseiseki's aggressive tendencies; when Suiseiseki begs her not to participate in the game, Souseiseki refuses to listen and even threatens to cut down her twin if she tries to interfere.

* SiblingRivalry: All the dolls are sisters and they fight against each other, trying to take the life source of the other. Subverted with Suiseiseki who loves her sister so much she refuse to fight them, unless to protect her most beloved twin sister. [[spoiler:Played for drama when they are fighting to save her mediums, yet Suigintou and Kanaria are to stubborn to even stay with Shinku, Suiseiseki and Souseiseki and consider to fight together agains Kirakishou.]]

* CatFight: Since their supernatural fights leave behind a mess of rose petals and black feathers, Unwind!Jun forbid Shinku and Suigintou of fighting like that. So they rely on badmouthing, slaps and pulling each other's hair.

* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: Jun ''was'' a sulking, thankless pile of rather childish fears and grievances, not whining only because he was too self-absorbed for it. Soon, he shocks dolls by demonstrating talents worthy of a potential apprentice to Rozen, and powers ''three'' fighting Rozen Maiden at once without looking pale and swooning, while in ''all three'' parts of the anime we see some other mediums - one of whom was obviously more healthy - drained to within a hair's breadth of death by supporting only ''one''.

* {{Dreamland}}: The -seiseki twins can enter to people's dreams to go to the World Tree. Also, some masters can go to the N-Field through their own dreams.

--->'''Nori:''' Jun I can't, we're siblings!

* InvisibleToNormals: The N-Field and it's influence on the world. [[spoiler:Kirakishou uses this trope to her advance.]]

* LoonyFriendsImproveYourPersonality: With Unwind!Jun, we can see how Jun's life could have been empty and meaningless without the dolls. After Saito manages to become his friend and the dolls enter to his life, the trope starts going again.

* PinocchioSyndrome: The dolls want to become "Alice", the perfect girl, however, they seem to want to do it more to [[WellDoneSonGuy please Rozen]] than for the sake of being human.

* TrappedInAnotherWorld: [[spoiler:Jun goes into the N-Field with Kanaria, looking to found a way to save Shinku and the others from Kirakishou.]]

* BecomeARealGirl, named [[AliceAllusion Alice]]

Shinku, the doll, immediately sets about correcting Jun's mannerisms, trying to convert him into her servant by default -- an attempt cut short by the appearance of a stuffed clown with a pair of menacing-looking knives. Jun, fearing for his life, agrees to become Shinku's medium (her supply of power so that she can fight), and is drawn from there into the strange world of the Rozen Maiden dolls and the Alice game.

* CatFight: Since their supernatural fights leave behind a mess of rose petals and black feathers, Unwind!Jun forbits Shinku and Suigintou of fighting like that. So they rely on badmouthing, slaps and pulling each other's hair.

* WhiteHairedPrettyGirl: Suigintou & Kirakishou (though the latter has occasionally been depicted with [[YouGottaHaveBlueHair light pink hair]].

* ForWantOfANail: The Rozen Maidens need to be accepted by the mediums to ''exist'' in the world. ''Rozen Maiden Tales'' is a world without Rozen Maidens since Jun choosed to not be Shinku's medium.
