* ChekhovsGun: The paper with a scribble of Kiyomaro that Ziggy hands out to Zelie is actually the first page of Gash's spellbook. It allows Kiyomaro to summon Gash from a mummified body hidden inside a temple and cast Zakeru at Wyg.

* HesBack: The story starts with Gash being presumed to have been killed by the villains, and Kiyomaro can't seem to use Answer Talker to get an idea of his fate. In chapter 4, while Kiyomaro is fighting Wyg in a temple featuring some oddly familiar sarcophagi, it is revealed Gash had imbued Zelie and Olmo with his power and given a page of his spellbook to Ziggy. With the page in hand, Kiyomaro is able to summon Gash from one of the mummified bodies and the two get straight to business by hitting the villain head-on with a Zakeru.

* DarkerAndEdgier: The original series ended with an EverybodyLives ending. Despite all the violence and pain everyone went through, aside from two demons that comprised part of Faudo's internal organs, no one actually died. The sequel opens with a demon child getting bisected and killed a few pages in, with a few from the original series shown either dead or at least heavily injured and unconscious, showing that the stakes are much higher than before.

!!This manga contains the following tropes:
* BigDamnHeroes:
** Kiyomaro confronts Wyg and Gill in the end of the first chapter to save Jelly and Olmo.
** Mippy drags Kiyomaro out of peril when it looks like Wyg has killed him with Zakeruga.
* DeusExMachina:
** Jelly and Jiggy escape into the human world by using The Device That Once Sent Faudo Back to The Demon World, even though Gash had previously failed to use it to keep contact with Kiyomaro and the others.
** Averted with the destruction of the Demon Kingdom, as it happened without Kiyomaro or any of the book holders knowing, even though the spellbooks' god-like creators had previously summoned Kiyomaro to help a depowered Gash before. This ties to their ominous remark from the final "Gash Café" side chapter that they would eventually be unable to help the Demon World against alien threats.
* DownerBeginning: The story opens with two demon children named Jelly and Jiggy running in desperation from a being who seeks to eradicate demonkind and who has already killed Ted, Cherish, Rein ''and even Gash''. After escaping to the human world at the cost of Jiggy's life, Jelly stumbles around Egypt hopelessly looking for Kiyomaro and nearly gets caught by human traffickers before Kiyomaro does enter the scene like a savior.
* HappyEndingOverride: Previously, Gash and Kiyomaro saved their home worlds and parted ways after Gash was declared the new king, hoping to eventually meet again in "a bigger way than saving the world". This sequel starts with the Demon Kingdom in ruins, Gash being presumed dead and Kiyomaro unable to do much against the new antagonists on his own.
* HoldTheLine: Kiyomaro stops Wyg from killing Jelly but only avoids his attacks and tries to hold a conversation with the villain with no means of striking back.
* HopeBringer: Before sacrificing himself, Jiggy asks Jelly to seek out Kiyomaro, "the King's partner who can create hope out of despair".

* OhCrap: Kiyomaro completely loses his focus and is nearly killed when Wyg proclaims he has killed Gash and casts Zakeruga as proof.
* OneWingedAngel: Wyg appears as a large intimidating man with a transparent body that leaves his innards visible. However, his true form that bursts from within is that of a giant multi-limbed cyclops with an exposed brain and a bondage-like armor.
* RRatedOpening: The first chapter has a grim tone, with one demon child getting gruesomely killed in action and then buried on-panel, when previously all combatants were just teleported back to the demon world and reduced to spirits.
* SuddenSequelDeathSyndrome: Ted, Cherish and Rein are seen lying dead after being defeated by the new villains. Gash is also said to have been killed off somehow.
* WhamShot: Wyg's usage of Gash's spells and the boy's [[DeadHatShot broken crown]] lying in the ruins of his castle are grim signs that Gash really is dead.
* TheWorfBarrage: Jiggy uses a bottle containing a Kofaru spell from Cherish, which is blocked and reflected when Wyg uses Gash's Rashield. ''Of course'' Rashield, the poster child for this trope, works like a charm when it's a bad guy using it!
