* RousingSpeech: Attempted in Episode 7. Tohru starts to give her famous "Rice Ball" speech, only for Kyo to shoot her down in seconds.
* ShoutOut:
** Several of Kyo's lines consists of some shonen or mecha reference, most notably either ''Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann'', ''Anime/DragonBallZ'', or ''Anime/MobileFighterGGundam.''
** Tohru has a habit of stealing food from [[Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion Shinji Ikari]]...
** ''Film/MenInBlack'''s "flashy thing" is compared to Hatori's mind erasing power.
** There's an entire gag about {{Shout Out}}s in Episode 2.
** Apparently, Haru keeps mistaking Kyo for some guy named Kakarot.
* StalkerWithACrush: Yuki thinks that Tohru is one of these initially, not to mention the entire Prince Yuki Fan Club IS this trope.
** Also, Kagura, seeing as how she stalks Kyo obsessively too.
* {{Yandere}}: Kagura is a mild form of this, even in the Abridged universe.
