* BigBad: Hilda at first glance, who is really just a pawn beneath Kuon.

* BlindIdiotTranslation: The localizations for both Exe: Late and Exe: Late[st] were rather rushed to put it nicely, but Exe Late[st] definitely stands out. Both are plastered with spelling and grammatical errors, while Exe: Late[st]'s localization flat out changes the names of terminology that has already been established, labels Wagner as male and even has the character themes renamed.

* CapcomSequelStagnation: As of [cl-r], it's reaching this territory, with 3 [[UpdatedRerelease Updated Re-releases]] to its name with no sign of a true sequel since the game first came out in 2011.

* CrypticBackgroundReference: Up until ''Late[st]'''s Chronicle Mode, the entire plot of the games in the original release and in EXE: Late was accessible through the Arcade Mode story-line and its supreme lack of context had many people to think that they must have missed something.

* TheRival: Seth to Hyde, not unlike Creator/ArcSystemWorks other RedOniBlueOni rivalries [[note]][[VideoGame/GuiltyGear Sol & Ky]] and [[Franchise/BlazBlue Ragna & Jin]][[/note]]. Gordeau and Chaos are a friendly variant on this. Both sets of rivals have themes that play when they fight.

** As of Late[st], the resident lolis now fit the mold, with Mika being the fighter, Vatista the mage, and Linne the thief.

** Gordeau and Chaos, both are Amnesia employees under Hilda. Gordeau is a BoisterousBruiser that loves a good fight while Chaos is a BadassBookworm and prefers using his brains and tries to get out of fighting as much possible, which is ironic given his past a street brawler. Gordeau ''looks'' sinister, but is actually one of the more down to earth characters in the entire game and while Chaos isn't a bad person per se, he has far less patience for people he considers less intelligent than him.
* GenderEqualEnsemble: The current roster of 20 is evenly split between male and female fighters.

* CastFromHitPoints Carmine utilizes a special ability called Dissolve that forms a pool of blood that can be activated from across the screen with his specials. This prominent space control is balanced through Dissolve pools costing HP to utilize.

Gameplay of ''Under Night In-Birth'' focuses on fast-paced ground game (though it has ''Assault'' command input that let every character do a quick leap/ airdash instantly for mobility or quick overhead attacks) The game features unique resource called ''GRD (Grind Grid)'' in addition to traditional 'super gauge' found in most 2D fighting games. The GRD aims to simulate how some anime characters gather aura from surroundings to power themselves up. Both players try to fill more GRD than their opponent by making proper defense in a tug-of-war like fashion (which often leads to each side 'taking turns' attacking), in order to gain damage boost (called '' Vorpal'') at the moment the GRD timer runs out in each cycle throughout the match.

In the quiet town of Kanzakai, a rumour stirs among the residents:

"Those who get their souls devoured by the Dark Shadows, will end up wandering eternally in a mysterious world."

They say that every full moon, a strange, alternate world merges with ours and mysterious monsters roam throughout the streets, killing and devouring all that they see. No one knows for sure as to whether it is real or not, but for the most part, it all seems like hokey.

[[BlatantLies Right?]]

[[TheHero Hyde Kido]] is an OrdinaryHighSchoolStudent, he has an ordinary life, ordinary friends and goes to an ordinary school, and he likes it that way. One day, he has a rather eventful encounter with a strange girl named Linne and they separate on that night after he shows her around the city. The next day, as Hyde is walking home after school, Hyde is beset upon by the rumored man-eating shadows and chased into an alleyway. Unable to move and do anything against his formless attackers, Hyde is narrowly saved by Linne who leaps in to fight the shadows off. However, Hyde is bitten by the creatures and slays the last shadow on his own when he is able to manifest a strange power. Linne helps Hyde up and the true stage of the city he once thought knew is revealed to him.

Those who survive their encounter with Voids become known as In-births, and the city of Kanzakai has been recently recognized as the most concentrated location of in-birth activity. In-births are able to utilize a power known as EXS, the energy source present in all living things. The particular nights where in-births and voids roam the streets are known as Hollow Nights and entire organizations have risen and fallen in their attempts to rule with their powers or keep wanton uses of powers in check. The longest lasting organization that currently holds the most authority over the night is Licht Kreis, an international policing force under the day-time guise of a benevolent charity enterprise. Linne formerly was associated with the now disbanded Night Blade clan who previously fought against Licht Kreis but in-fighting has led to their disbandment. Kanzakai itself however houses another prolific organization of in-births that has recently gained the attention of Licht Kreis' eye, the group known as Amnesia, led by a woman who seeks to ascend to a higher state of being, surpassing that of an in-birth: a Re-Birth. Caught in the middle of conflicting organizations and other numerous outliers in the city streets, Hyde finds himself caught in the middle of the mess, allied only with Linne and her companion Waldstein and meeting familiar faces he thought he knew and new ones to fight.

-->Thousand night, Recurrence night, Reverie and Invite.\\

The dark night will soon be over...
