* BleachedUnderpants: Most of the original visual novels were [[HGame h-games]] (Although with clean anime versions), and the game focuses only on the fighting.



* MirrorMatch: The game allows a character to fight herself, complete with [[LampshadeHanging unique winquotes]].
** A curious case could be Misuzu Vs. Kanna; fans of ''VisualNovel/{{AIR}}'' surely know what's wrong with this matchup.
** And yet another curious case for fans of ''[[VisualNovel/OneKagayakuKisetsuE ONE]]'', Mizuka Vs. Unknown.
** And for fans of ''VisualNovel/{{Kanon}}'', Awake Nayuki can fight her sleepy self.



* NerfArm: Rumi Nanase's wooden sword. Interestingly enough, her sword deals more damage than Mai Kawasumi's, despite the fact that Mai is an IaijutsuPractitioner, and uses a real sword.

** See Kano Kirishima's spells above. Also, her staff is a special staff from the same game, called a "Mighty Staff."
* SNKBoss: Kanna. Subverted on difficulties 1 and 2, where she hardly attacks and generally just waits for you to kill her. Played straight on difficulties 3 and 4. You pretty much need to be an EFZ god to beat level 4 Kanna (or use extremely cheap tactics, but even that takes a lot of luck).
