| 5 | '''''Corrupt Crossover''''' is a MassiveMultiplayerCrossover "[[InsistentTerminology visual fanfiction]]" by writer and musician @/{{logbat99}} and [[Series/DoctorWho BadWolf]]Music[[ArcNumber 53]] (often shortened to [=BWM53=]). It intends to take Rule50 to the extreme while still containing a significant amount of plot. It has been released on Platform/YouTube, with a [[WhatCouldHaveBeen planned but cancelled]] Platform/{{Wattpad}} release. |
| 6 | |
| 7 | The story is the same across the whole series: Set in Japan[[note]]which may or may not have [[JapanTakesOverTheWorld taken over the world]] by then[[/note]] and TwentyMinutesIntoTheFuture, in an AlternateUniverse called Earth-[[VisualNovel/DanganronpaV3KillingHarmony V3]], a band of six [[RagtagBunchOfMisfits unlikely heroes]] from various video games form an alliance and are tasked to take down the hostile {{Technologically Advanced Foe}}s known as Despair Robots. Following a series of events prior to the formation of the heroes, there exists [[LastOfHisKind only one Despair Robot left on the planet]], and he has turned invulnerable and formed a NebulousEvilOrganisation that acts as [[ThePsychoRangers a direct opposite to the six heroes]]. With the support of VideoGame/FZero racing machines and a few helpers, the {{Hope Bringer}}s known as the New Hope Warriors[[note]]the name "Warriors of Hope" has [[VideoGame/DanganronpaAnotherEpisodeUltraDespairGirls already been taken]], now renamed the "Old Hope Warriors"[[/note]] fight the forces of despair. |
| 8 | |
| 9 | Other notable factions include the KentBrockmanNews programme "Super High School Level News" (which also appears outside of the main series), and the LocalHangout and occasionally GoodGuyBar La Soleil from ''VisualNovel/{{Nekopara}}''. |
| 10 | |
| 11 | After a strange departure in the first series, the second added [[VisualNovel/DanganronpaTriggerHappyHavoc Byakuya Togami]] as the newest New Hope Warrior and a {{Foil}} to Jeff. New villains would emerge in the form of Byakuya's longtime rivals, [[VideoGame/HotlineMiami2WrongNumber the Fans]], five MalevolentMaskedMen who only kill out of boredom. Infamous SerialKiller [[VisualNovel/DanganronpaTriggerHappyHavoc Genocide Jack]] would also make one-off appearances, acting as the SixthRanger of Neo Ultimate Despair. Clone characters were also brought in after previously being a MonsterOfTheWeek: evil copies of the original characters with a PhotoshopFilterOfEvil. [[Literature/HighSchoolDxD Rias Gremory]] now ditches her EarlyBirdCameo appearances (temporarily) and makes her full physical debut here. |
| 12 | |
| 13 | Series 3 upped the ante by introducing three major characters: [[VideoGame/FiveNightsAtFreddysSecurityBreach Roxanne Wolf]], [[WesternAnimation/SouthPark Kenny McCormick]], and [[VideoGame/AkatsukiBlitzkampf Ernst von Adler]] -- the lattermost alongside the Elektrosoldats, his clones. Speaking of clones, more of them were introduced, including ones of the glamrock band's decommissioned variants. It also introduced a mysterious military project known as Operation Iron Horse, mainly confined to the [=PizzaPlex=] and used as part of an attempt to put an end to the Warriors. |
| 14 | |
| 15 | After a SequelHook at the end of the series 3 finale that was meant to be a DeletedScene was unveiled by mistake, the {{four|IsDeath}}th and [[GrandFinale final series]] was developed that wrapped up any and all loose ends and was split into series 4A and series 4B. Bringing back third series veteran Roxanne Wolf, series 4 introduced two characters -- one of which is Rias Gremory after her [[EarlyBirdCameo Early-Bird Cameos]], who would also officially introduce the rest of the ''Literature/HighSchoolDXD'' universe as a whole and become more plot-relevant. And, in a MidSeasonTwist, the second character is the single largest WalkingSpoiler in the entire series, due to being revealed in said DeletedScene. |

| 93 | ---- |
| 94 | |
| 95 | [[foldercontrol]] |
| 96 | |
| 97 | !!Tropes present in the series: |
| 98 | [[folder:A-C]] |
| 99 | * AbsurdlySpaciousSewer: Which apparently leads directly into a FireAndBrimstoneHell in the middle of nowhere, as shown in "Four is Death". Tony is chased through here by the then-unknown [[spoiler:Phantomorph]] after freeing Rias from her chains. Of course, another place the sewer leads to is [[WhereTheHellIsSpringfield the unnamed city from the rest of the plot]]. |
| 100 | * AbsurdPhobia: [[spoiler:According to a FreezeFrameBonus and her time in Room101, the Phantomorph has a fear of ''Film/TheHumanCentipede''.]] |
| 101 | * AccidentalMisnaming: Sonic.exe mistakenly believes that [[Series/MockTheWeek Princess Monaco of Kent]] is a [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic Princess of Equestria]]. Infinite does a DoubleTake at this. |
| 102 | * AcidTripDimension: The battlefields for [[EldritchOceanAbyss Oktavia]] and [[spoiler:Walpurgisnacht]] are horrifyingly bizarre. |
| 103 | * AcquiredErrorAtThePrinter: Discussed and PlayedForLaughs in TheTeaser for [[VideoGame/FiveNightsAtFreddysSecurityBreach "Lost & Found"]]. |
| 104 | -->'''Kokichi:''' Before we actually [[BreakingTheFourthWall begin the episode proper]], [[KentBrockmanNews we]] would like to apologise for the printing error in this week's [[FictionalDocument Super High School Level Newspaper]] regarding [[VideoGame/AkatsukiBlitzkampf this episode's villain]]. It should say that he "hails from Germany". [[CrossesTheLineTwice Not "heils"]].[[note]]This was before his BerserkButton of him being mistaken for German was established.[[/note]] |
| 105 | * AdaptationalBackstoryChange: Pretty much the entire cast. For example, Something was disconnected from Sunny following the events of ''VideoGame/{{Omori}}'', Tsumugi was fired from her own group, leading to her HeelFaceTurn, and Sonic.exe was once a regular Sonic clone who didn't follow the PhotoshopFilterOfEvil rule and was [[ComicBook/HarleyQuinn thrown into a vat of blood-red chemicals]] in the Website/SCPFoundation. |
| 106 | * AdaptationalComicRelief: Zig-zagged with Something, who's a TalkativeLoon who still has elements of horror slipped in. |
| 107 | * AdaptationalGenderIdentity: [[VideoGame/FiveNightsAtFreddys2 Mangle]] goes from "[[MathematiciansAnswer yes]]" to UsefulNotes/{{transgender}}. |
| 108 | * AdaptationalModesty: Exaggerated and justified. In ''Manga/ElfenLied'', Lucy was [[FullFrontalAssault completely naked]] save for a helmet when escaping the facility. In "Dangerous Diclonius" when she escapes containment, she starts out naked ([[{{Bowdlerise}} her breasts are covered by a]] GagCensor), but following a TimeSkip and a [[KentBrockmanNews Super High School Level News]] report, she is fully clothed for the rest of the episode - this could be due to her VideoGame/{{Mugen}} sprites, which is where ''VideoGame/CMCPlus'' gets them. {{Lampshade|Hanging}}d with [[VideoGame/SonicMania Jimmy the Moto Bug]] telling her to PleasePutSomeClothesOn within ten seconds of seeing her for the first time. |
| 109 | ** Also justified for Rias who, in ''Literature/HighSchoolDXD'', had several instances of her bare breasts being focused on, especially since Issei is ''incredibly'' interested in them in both media. This too was {{Gag Censor}}ed. |
| 110 | * AdaptationalNationality: Jeff is now British, [[AuthorAppeal just like logbat99 himself]]. |
| 111 | * AdaptationSpeciesChange: Porky goes from a human to a near-indestructible robot, in case the {{pilot}} didn't make it obvious enough. [[spoiler:Same goes for Kanade Otonokoji.]] |
| 112 | * AerithAndBob: To be expected given the combination of English and Japanese names. As examples: |
| 113 | ** On the Aerith side, we have Miu, Byakuya, Junko, Monokuma, Tsumugi, Ibuki, Mikan, Celeste, Rias, and [[spoiler:Kanade]]. |
| 114 | ** On the Bob side, we have Jeff, Richard, Corey, Tony, Alex, Ash, Mark, William[[note]]as in William Afton[[/note]], Roxanne, and Kenny. |
| 115 | * AffectionateNickname: Junko calls Porky "Minchie", which he despises. |
| 116 | * AGodAmI: Once again, this is Sonic.exe's most-used phrase. In the creepypasta's debut, this comment from Jeff is triggered: |
| 117 | -->'''Jeff:''' Well, that's turned me into an UsefulNotes/{{atheis|m}}t! |
| 118 | * AIIsACrapshoot: Despair Robots are actually incredibly hostile should you pose as something of a threat to them. |
| 119 | * AlasPoorVillain: [[spoiler:Junko's death towards the end of series 4B is this.]] |
| 120 | * AllGirlsWantBadBoys: [[Literature/HighSchoolDxD Raynare]], during her time as Tony's girlfriend, certainly showed this from what he can remember. She was only interested in his actions and never asked for him to remove his mask. |
| 121 | * AlliterativeTitle: '''''C'''orrupt '''C'''rossover''. |
| 122 | * AllLowercaseLetters: Sans speaks like this, with his usual Comic Sans to boot. |
| 123 | * AllThereInTheManual: There exists around 200 bios as a [=PowerPoint=] file in the Google Drive folder that is expanded upon with each episode containing major characters (and sometimes even the minor ones as well) that detail characters' backstories, some of which are not discussed in the main series. For example, there's nothing mentioned about VideoGame/SonicEyx being created in [[Series/StrangerThings the Upside Down]] except in his bio. |
| 124 | ** Downplayed with Sonic.exe. It's not mentioned in his bio that he was once a regular Sonic clone that was thrown into a vat of blood-red chemicals when fighting the real Sonic in the Website/SCPFoundation. This point is instead referenced in the bio for ComicBook/HarleyQuinn[[note]]MonsterOfTheWeek for "Harlequin of Insanity"[[/note]]. |
| 125 | ** Averted entirely with "joke bios" that are simple references, like [[VideoGame/PokemonDiamondAndPearl Combee]] (''WesternAnimation/BeeMovie'') and [[DarthWiki/CMCPlusBloopers ChaosGallantmon]] (Advertising/TheManYourManCouldSmellLike). |
| 126 | * AllYourBaseAreBelongToUs: |
| 127 | ** The title of the episode in which Frieza is the MonsterOfTheWeek has the trope's name. He himself does just that. |
| 128 | ** In "Devilish Secrets", Porky temporarily diverts his attention away from series 4's ArcVillain, and storms an attack on the Gremory house. |
| 129 | * AlwaysChaoticEvil: Despair Robots are, in general, evil machines. |
| 130 | * AmbidextrousSprite: Flip the masks of [[VideoGame/HotlineMiami2WrongNumber the Swans]] and the numbers on them are reversed along with the position of the mask itself. |
| 131 | * AmbiguousSyntax: |
| 132 | ** According to [[VideoGame/MegaMan3 Magnet Man]], Sans once made a cover of a packet of breakfast sausages. The words "prick with a fork" were positioned next to a picture of [[TakeThat Steve from]] ''VideoGame/{{Minecraft}}''. |
| 133 | ** "The Alliance of Literature/HaruhiSuzumiya" sees Tony confused over a stick of deodorant with the instructions "unscrew top and push up bottom". |
| 134 | * AnachronicOrder: The first ChristmasEpisode was released before series 2 but canonically takes place halfway through. The Fans' absence is explained in the second half of that series because they took a holiday break from killing. |
| 135 | * AnachronismStew: Sometimes, time periods interlock with each other. Especially noticeable with ''Literature/IsItWrongToTryToPickUpGirlsInADungeon'' being the motif for "Labyrinth of the Minotaur" -- it is highly medieval and set in a fantasy world, whereas ''Corrupt Crossover'' is highly futuristic. |
| 136 | * AndNowForSomeoneCompletelyDifferent: While Jeff Andonuts is the central character (one of them, at least), certain other characters get their own share of adventures as the plot progresses (for example, [[Manga/ElfenLied "Dangerous]] [[VideoGame/CMCPlus Diclonius"]] is Sonic's first solo mission), up to and including [[spoiler:[[VillainEpisode Porky Minch]]]] in the final series. |
| 137 | * AndShowItToYou: Porky defeats [[spoiler:the Phantomorph]] in this way. [[spoiler:Because she's a robot, a CPU is used.]] |
| 138 | * AprilFoolsDay: |
| 139 | ** In the [[AllThereInTheManual official bios]], [[VideoGame/PokemonRedAndBlue Vaporeon]]'s has all of its text, except the first sentence, replaced with [[spoiler:a recreation of the infamous Vaporeon copypasta (with some alterations)]]. After series 3, this has been made into a separate bio from the one for Vaporeon itself, and the joke has died down. |
| 140 | ** A MeaningfulReleaseDate for [[DarthWiki/CMCPlusBloopers Jimmy and Rock Lobster]]'s bios; both of them appeared in ''VideoGame/CMCPlus'' first in its April Fools build before the main releases. |
| 141 | ** An in-universe example happens when Corey buys Tony a Franchise/{{Barbie}}-themed pink car as an April Fool. |
| 142 | ** Series 3 introduced a joke where the link to behind-the-scenes material [[spoiler:[[VideoGame/MarioKartWii Coconut Malls]] the user in Google Drive video form]]. |
| 143 | * ApologisesALot: Mikan even when she trips over, due to her rather low self-esteem. |
| 144 | * AnimalMotifs: Subverted; Porky now hates anything pig-related. |
| 145 | * ArcNumber: The number [[VisualNovel/DanganronpaV3KillingHarmony 53]] frequently shows up. For example, one of the team members is called [=BadWolfMusic=]'''53''', there are 53 photographs of Junko taken by [[VisualNovel/Danganronpa2GoodbyeDespair Mahiru Koizumi]] in the former's debut, the FinalBoss of series 1 took 53 attempts to build, and [[Manga/ElfenLied Lucy]] had caused 53 fatalities prior to her time in containment; all from the first series. Despite this, the true meaning of the number's inclusions is unknown to the public. Its usage has also died down to the point of being near-absent in Series 4B. |
| 146 | ** As a MythologyGag, Something (alias Subject 8) throws in the ArcNumber of [[VideoGame/{{Omori}} his home game]]: as well as his "Subject 8" form being a GiantSpider, 1+4+3=8. |
| 147 | * ArcVillain: |
| 148 | ** [[VideoGame/AkatsukiBlitzkampf Ernst von Adler]] in series 3. |
| 149 | ** [[spoiler:The Phantomorph]] in series 4. |
| 150 | * ArcWords: Despair: the hostile species of robots is called the Despair Robots, Junko is also the Ultimate Despair, and two supporting cast members originate from [[VisualNovel/Danganronpa2GoodbyeDespair a game with the subtitle "Goodbye Despair"]]. |
| 151 | * AnArmAndALeg: During his fight with Diclonius Thirteen, Porky loses several components, mostly limbs, that [[CompleteImmortality grow back a few minutes later]]. |
| 152 | * ArsonMurderAndJaywalking: |
| 153 | ** From the ''Series/BigFatQuizOfTheYear''-themed animation test: |
| 154 | --->'''Jeff:''' If you want to play this game at home, it's simple. You only need a pen, paper, a scoreboard if more than one of you is playing, and the weird guy from WesternAnimation/{{Puss in Boots|TheLastWish}}.\ |
| 155 | ''[camera cuts to Death sporting VisibleSilence]'' |
| 156 | ** This volley of insults from [[GrandFinale "Last of the Despair Robots"]], which can only be described as a continuation of the "brony" RunningGag: |
| 157 | --->'''Porky:''' Nice job on [[spoiler:the Daleks]], [[Characters/DoctorWhoMissy Missy]].\ |
| 158 | '''[[spoiler:Kanade]]:''' Beat it, [[Characters/DoctorWhoJohnSimmsMaster Harold Saxon]].\ |
| 159 | '''Porky:''' Make me, [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic Queen Chrysalis]].\ |
| 160 | '''[[spoiler:Kanade]]:''' [[ITakeOffenseToThatLastOne Don't call me Chrysalis...!]] |
| 161 | * ArtisticLicenseChemistry: Subverted when [[spoiler:Porky throws a small candle at a large puddle of petrol/gasoline, setting it ablaze as an attempt to kill Rias and/or the Phantomorph]] near the end of "Ultimate Annihilation". [[spoiler:Petrol/gasoline is a highly flammable liquid in RealLife. It is able to react rapidly and explosively with oxygen, which explains the StuffBlowingUp that one tiny candle causes.]] |
| 162 | * ArtisticLicenseGeography: Although the series is set in Japan, there are some hints of other countries embedded in the location, mainly [[UsefulNotes/UnitedStates America]]. |
| 163 | ** The currency is in pounds sterling, in reference to logbat99's British nationality, and shifts back and forth between it, United States dollars, and Japanese yen. |
| 164 | ** Fuyuhiko reads out the MirandaRights when interrogating Jeff after falsely believing him to be guilty of vandalism. |
| 165 | ** Downplayed with the Mariana Trench, where [[Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica Oktavia von Seckendorff]] is fought, which is found near to but not exactly in Japan. To be specific, the Pacific Ocean. |
| 166 | ** Adler, based in either Germany or Russia, spouts the first sentence of UsefulNotes/AbrahamLincoln's Gettysburg Address before [[NonSequiturThud passing out]]. |
| 167 | * ArtisticLicenseHistory: |
| 168 | ** In 2023, Platform/{{Twitter|X}} was rebranded to X. So the reason why Porky asks "[[WebVideo/RealTimeFandub Who posted the blueprints on Twitter dot com?]]" in the near-future is unclear. |
| 169 | ** Similarly, at one point near the end of [[Literature/IsItWrongToTryToPickUpGirlsInADungeon "Labyrinth of the Minotaur"]], Sonic.exe calls out "[[WebVideo/RealTimeFandub How do you like that, Obama? I]] [[spoiler:destroyed the Babel Dungeon]][[WebVideo/RealTimeFandub , you idiot!]] This being set TwentyMinutesIntoTheFuture, it's clear that UsefulNotes/BarackObama is not the current President. Either that, or he's referring to Obama [[CompanyCrossReferences as he's depicted in]] ''DarthWiki/CMCPlusBloopers''. |
| 170 | ** According to Alter Ego in the series 3 finale, [[spoiler:Blitztank]] is responsible for the UsefulNotes/AtomicBombingsOfHiroshimaAndNagasaki. Tsumugi then points out that [[spoiler:Blitztank]] is a German invention and the bombings were caused by America, before Byakuya claims that there has been a [[spoiler:Blitztank]] unit in the United States (and then tries and fails to say AmericaWonWorldWarII). |
| 171 | * ArtisticLicenseLawEnforcement: In this series, Fuyuhiko Kuzuryu is the living embodiment of this. The only time he ever defies this trope is with his own handwritten cue card containing the ([[ArtisticLicenseGeography American]]) MirandaRights, and that's before questioning Jeff about his act of vandalism [[ClearMyName he didn't commit]]. |
| 172 | * ArtShift: |
| 173 | ** The ''Franchise/AceAttorney'' courtroom scenes are made as ever in Website/ObjectionLol. |
| 174 | ** Over half of "Dangerous Diclonius" is animated in ''VideoGame/CMCPlus'' and contains ''VideoGame/{{Undertale}}'' text boxes. Apparently this gives logbat99 a break from animating an entire episode. |
| 175 | * AnAssKickingChristmas: "How the Minch Stole Christmas", for [[TwistedChristmas obvious reasons]]. |
| 176 | * AssShove: |
| 177 | ** Spaceboy threatens Junko with this in the series 3 opener. |
| 178 | --->'''Spaceboy:''' You know what? I've got a good mind to shove that clipboard up your whatsit! |
| 179 | ** Implied with the stick of deodorant containing the instructions "[[AmbiguousSyntax unscrew top and push up bottom]]" in "The Alliance of Literature/HaruhiSuzumiya". |
| 180 | * AspectRatioSwitch: Exclusive to ''[[FictionalVideoGame Monsters vs. Robots]]'', 80% of the stages are square to fit their arcade cabinet feel. |
| 181 | * AsTheGoodBookSays: The first scene in Series 4 is a quote from [[Literature/TheFourGospels Matthew]], which appropriately describes [[FireAndBrimstoneHell what Tony has to encounter afterwards]]:[[note]]For those curious, it's chapter 13, verses 49 and 50.[[/note]] |
| 182 | -->''This is how it will be at the end of the age. The angels will come and separate the wicked from the righteous and throw them into the blazing furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.'' |
| 183 | * AttackOfThe50FootWhatever: Three out of four {{Final Boss}}es: [[spoiler:the Iron Minch was specifically built to be this]], [[spoiler:Walpurgisnacht adds on to this by floating upside down]], and [[spoiler:Blitztank... [[TankGoodness is also a giant tank]]]]. Not fitting this category is [[spoiler:the second Iron Minch, which downplays the trope as it is significantly smaller than the first.]] |
| 184 | * AttentionDeficitOohShiny: One Dalek gets distracted in [[VisualNovel/{{Nekopara}} "Neko Hell"]]: |
| 185 | --> '''Dalek:''' [[AC:[[CharacterCatchphrase Exterminate! Exterminate!]] Ext-- oh my, what a lovely room!]] |
| 186 | * AttractMode: FictionalVideoGame ''Monsters vs. Robots'' has one which plays the game by itself, with both [=CPUs=] on the hardest difficulty. |
| 187 | * AxCrazy: Some of the villains: |
| 188 | ** Genocide Jack, much like [[SplitPersonality her canon self]]. |
| 189 | ** The leading member of the Fans, Tony, is also the most violent, despite his requests not to use any weapons. |
| 190 | ** [[spoiler:Cyborg!]]Adler following the third series. He is much more aggressive, especially when working in tandem with Inazuma. |
| 191 | * BadassBiker: Roxy downplays this in a similar way to ''VideoGame/FiveNightsAtFreddysSecurityBreach''. Although she's only ever seen to drive an ''VideoGame/FZero'' machine, the Great Star, she sometimes wears [[VideoGame/HotlineMiami Biker]]'s helmet while doing so. And as seen in her official wallpaper and "Shatter in the [=PizzaPlex=]", one of her props in her green room is a motorbike. |
| 192 | * BadassPacifist: Monika usually stays away from the battles and gives directions regarding the stage of the mission. |
| 193 | * BaitAndSwitch: "Dangerous Diclonius" already contains an ''Manga/ElfenLied'' motif in the title and cold open, so some viewers would think this will be the episode's theme. (So much for a DarkFic.) Cue ArtShift to ''VideoGame/CMCPlus'' less than a minute into the video. |
| 194 | * BaitAndSwitchComment: From two [[AllThereInTheManual official bios]]: |
| 195 | -->'''Raynare's bio:''' "Tony’s ex-girlfriend, a FallenAngel, and Subject [[Lol69 69]] have all seen Raynare on the battlefield."\ |
| 196 | '''Akeno's bio:''' "The Priestess of Thunder and Light, a Fallen Angel reincarnated as a devil, and the vice president of the Occult Research Club were just three of the people we invited to be another series 4 newcomer, but instead we have one of the most {{unexpected character}}s in the whole project." |
| 197 | * BananaPeel: [[VideoGame/MegaMan6 Yamato Man]], having no use for it, tosses one aside in [[Literature/IsItWrongToTryToPickUpGirlsInADungeon "Labyrinth of the Minotaur"]]. In a BrickJoke, [[VideoGame/GenshinImpact Paimon]] slips on the same peel five minutes later and [[ThePratfall falls on her backside]]. |
| 198 | * {{Bathos}}: Even with the few serious themes, logbat99 and the rest of the team have a good sense of humour and include it in every episode. |
| 199 | * BattleOfTheStillFrames: This can happen due to the visual novel medium. |
| 200 | * BerserkButton: |
| 201 | ** Much like [[VideoGame/SonicForces his source game]], Infinite hates being called weak. [[spoiler:He also doesn't take kindly to [[YourMom his mum]] being called "weaker than a tree" in the GrandFinale, as the Phantomorph finds out the hard way.]] |
| 202 | ** Do ''not'', under any circumstances, associate Porky with pigs. |
| 203 | ** Don't make fun of Tony's DoesntLikeGuns attribute unless you want to TalkToTheFist. |
| 204 | ** Adler ''hates'' being called German. This might be due to the uniform he wears in series 3. He has a [[VideoGame/PapersPlease Kolechian]] upbringing resulting in a Russian accent. |
| 205 | * BigBad: [[VideoGame/EarthBound1994 Porky]] [[VideoGame/Mother3 Minch]] is the main antagonist of the series and the leader of Neo Ultimate Despair. |
| 206 | * BigGood: Conversely, [[VideoGame/EarthBound1994 Jeff Andonuts]] is the main protagonist and the leader of the New Hope Warriors. |
| 207 | * BilingualBonus: Exploited: |
| 208 | -->'''Porky:''' You are making things harder than it has to be.\ |
| 209 | '''Miu:''' Um... thing is, [[GratuitousGerman das hat sie gesagt.]]\ |
| 210 | '''Porky:''' ''[VisibleSilence]'' ...ThatsWhatSheSaid?\ |
| 211 | '''Miu:''' Oh, come on! |
| 212 | * BittersweetEnding: Despite [[spoiler:the loss of Junko Enoshima]], the entire story ends on a near-happy note. |
| 213 | * BlackComedy: In the FinalBattle of the whole series, Monokuma's nickname for [[spoiler:the Phantomorph]] is "I [[spoiler:killed Junko Enoshima]] AndAllIGotWasThisLousyTShirt". |
| 214 | * BleepDammit: A rare visual example with "no [EXPLETIVE DELETED], Sherlock". |
| 215 | * BloodIron: Adler's [[VideoGame/PapersPlease "Death to Arstotzka"]] outfit is made from his own blood. |
| 216 | * BloodlessCarnage: Every single instance of blood is either removed or [[GoryDiscretionShot cut away from]]. Justified in Porky's case as Despair Robots don't bleed, and exaggerated with Diclonius Thirteen, aka Lucy, who originates from [[Manga/ElfenLied a manga with a large amount of violence and blood]]. [[spoiler:Subverted with the Despair Video the Phantomorph is ForcedToWatch.]] |
| 217 | * TheBodyPartsThatMustNotBeNamed: Discussing the gender of the diclonii in the lab: |
| 218 | -->'''Jimmy:''' [Y]ou know what they always say: [[WesternAnimation/TheRugratsMovie born under Venus, look for a]]--\ |
| 219 | '''Infinite:''' [[AstonishinglyAppropriateInterruption Diclonius]] Thirteen, what are you doing? |
| 220 | * {{Bookends}}: |
| 221 | ** The first and last things that damage Miu are related to [[spoiler:Porky Minch]]. |
| 222 | ** The first and last episodes of Series 4 introduce a ''Literature/HighSchoolDXD'' character. [[spoiler:In the latter case, it's yet another failed attempt at an OriginalCharacter.]] |
| 223 | * BossRush: [[spoiler:Parodied when the Phantomorph throws simulations of ''every single villain'' the New Hope Warriors have faced into her plan (except the Iron Minch). However, Jeff (who is initially absent from the scene) can handle this just by [[AntiClimax destroying the machine that makes them]].]] |
| 224 | * BossSubtitles: Non-game example with the episode's MonsterOfTheWeek. |
| 225 | * BottleEpisode: [[VideoGame/NeedyStreamerOverload "Kawaii Devil"]] only features Jeff, [=Ame/KAngel=], Kaede, and Something[[note]]his second appearance as the MonsterOfTheWeek[[/note]] in the cast, and takes place mainly in Ame's home. |
| 226 | * BoundAndGagged: Rias (minus the "Gagged") in a FireAndBrimstoneHell during "Four Is Death". |
| 227 | * {{Bowdlerise}}: |
| 228 | ** Any and all swear words are covered with "[[[Website/SCPFoundation EXPLETIVE]] [[NarrativeProfanityFilter DELETED]]]". [[spoiler:This does not apply to [[SirSwearsALot the Phantomorph]].]] |
| 229 | ** The episode themed around ''Manga/ElfenLied'' [[BloodlessCarnage removes all of the blood]] and [[GagCensor humorously censors the nudity]] with "[[AC:Censored by Mettaton because [[OurLawyersAdvisedThisTrope our lawyers advised it]] during the editing process.]]" |
| 230 | ** A similar thing happens to scenes lifted and edited from ''Literature/HighSchoolDXD'', with Rias' breasts being "[[AC:Removed to conform with ''Corrupt Crossover'' censorship laws]]" every time they're shown. (For example, before her NightmareSequence involving [[VideoGame/HotlineMiami Richard]], as she SleepsInTheNude.) |
| 231 | * BrainyPig: Averted -- '''[[TheGoomba HARD]]''' -- by the Pigmasks. They constantly bicker with each other, and around 75% of their voice lines are [[MemeticMutation Internet memes]]. |
| 232 | * BreadEggsMilkSquick: [[spoiler:What's shown in the Despair Video the Phantomorph is ForcedToWatch? ''Every single execution'' from across the ''Franchise/{{Danganronpa}}'' universe. And a FreezeFrameBonus of ''Film/TheHumanCentipede''.]] |
| 233 | * BrickJoke: |
| 234 | ** Three in [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic "Nightmare Moon"]]: |
| 235 | *** In the [[TheTeaser cold open]] of the episode, when Sonic.exe and Infinite first arrive in Equestria, .exe accuses Infinite of being a brony, which he declines on the grounds that he ReadTheMapUpsideDown. Later, when Infinite sics the titular MonsterOfTheWeek Nightmare Moon on the Warriors, .exe's only response is "Yeah, definitely a brony." This becomes a RunningGag for the rest of the project. |
| 236 | *** When the team discusses how Nightmare Moon causes panic on Equestria by bringing eternal darkness, Jeff notes that on the plus side, it's a good setting for a [[StealthHiBye surprise]] [[BackStab attack]]. Guess what happens when said eternal darkness actually is brought onto Equestria. |
| 237 | *** Early in the episode, Infinite bets Nightmare Moon a fiver that no ponies will destroy her. Sure enough, when Celestia ([[OneSteveLimit the goth, not the unicorn]]) starts StormingTheCastle, complete with [[MundaneMadeAwesome lively descriptions]] from Sonic.exe, Infinite [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking caps this off]] by [[DissonantSerenity stating he's won a fiver]]. |
| 238 | ** Infinite name-dropping the VideoGame/{{CMC|Plus}}[[note]]as in '''[[VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosCrusade C]]'''[[VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosCrusade rusade]] '''M'''odding '''C'''ommunity[[/note]] in the same episode is brought back in "Dangerous Diclonius" when [[Characters/DigimonRoyalKnights Gallantmon]] reveals he was created by the CMC. Sonic.exe proceeds to call ''him'' a brony as well[[note]]as in '''C'''utie '''M'''ark '''C'''rusaders[[/note]], much to his accomplice [[Anime/DigimonAdventure Greymon]]'s amusement. |
| 239 | ** It's said in "Attack of the Daleks" that Daleks can appear in the strangest of places. This is especially true [[Literature/IsItWrongToTryToPickUpGirlsInADungeon half a series later]] when they inhabit a dungeon and later a volcano. |
| 240 | ** In "Dangerous Diclonius", Jimmy gives the statement that [[TemptingFate he's able to examine Lucy by himself with nothing in his way]]. Then [[VideoGame/AkatsukiBlitzkampf Blitztank]] ([[spoiler:no, not [[FinalBoss that one]]]]) rams him into the middle of next week. Later, Jimmy rears up to take down his opponents, the New Hope Warriors. Cue Blitztank again. |
| 241 | ** The air conditioning in [[VideoGame/{{Omori}} "There's Something Behind You"]][[note]]a reference to a RandomEvent where one Humphrey bud has a 1 in 13 chance of saying "I [[PrecisionFStrike fucking]] love air conditioning."[[/note]]. When the Humphrey buds gang up on Something in GiantSpider form, one bud turns on the air conditioning, and the buds all form a SpontaneousCrowdFormation around it, visibly distracted. Then, right before the shift to Faraway Town, a Pigmask left behind turns on the air conditioning. While the Humphrey buds are currently helping VideoGame/{{Bubsy}} with his slime pool relaxation. They still form a SpontaneousCrowdFormation, they just take Bubsy with them. |
| 242 | ** Though non-canon, the {{Fanvid}} for the Para One remix of [[Music/DaftPunk "The Prime Time of Your Life"]] brings back [[Manga/ElfenLied Lucy]]'s GagCensor. This time, it reads "[[AC:Censored by Mettaton [[CallBack again]]. Give it a rest, [=BadWolfMusic53=]!]]" |
| 243 | ** In [[Literature/IsItWrongToTryToPickUpGirlsInADungeon "Labyrinth of the Minotaur"]], [[VideoGame/MegaMan6 Yamato Man]] tosses a BananaPeel on the ground, claiming to have no use for it. It is slipped on by [[VideoGame/GenshinImpact Paimon]] five minutes later. |
| 244 | ** The body pillow in [[VideoGame/NeedyStreamerOverload "Kawaii Devil"]]. In the first few scenes of the episode, Ame tosses one aside, claiming it to be useless. Forty-five (in-universe) minutes later, Something trips over it and does a StaircaseTumble. |
| 245 | ** Japanese nightclub [[https://atom-tokyo.com/ Atom Tokyo]] is first referenced in one of {{the stinger}}s which in turn references ''Radio/ImSorryIHaventAClue''[[note]]"And so, as the [[VideoGame/MarioKartWii Wild Wing]] of time reverses into the gap of destiny, and the manager points out that a clothes shop is no place to park a Wild Wing, we’re off to Atom Tokyo, and Monika’s buying..."[[/note]]. It is later brought up in [[VideoGame/FiveNightsAtFreddysSecurityBreach "Shatter in the PizzaPlex"]] when Sonic sarcastically remarks that "This [the [=PizzaPlex=]] isn't Atom Tokyo." |
| 246 | ** During the UsefulNotes/{{tennis}} match described under VillainsOutShopping: |
| 247 | --->''[close-up of [[Literature/HighSchoolDxD Akeno]] hitting the ball away from her]''\ |
| 248 | '''Tony:''' I must admit, though, sir: they're very good sports--\ |
| 249 | ''[a tennis ball hits him on the head, he [[StockScream Wilhelm screams]] and falls on the ground]''\ |
| 250 | '''Mark:''' Out -- fifteen-love!\ |
| 251 | ''[later in the episode, when Akeno hits the ball away again]''\ |
| 252 | '''Tony:''' [[LampshadeHanging She can't be stupid enough]] to try again--\ |
| 253 | ''[again, a tennis ball hits his mask, with the same outcome]''\ |
| 254 | '''Mark:''' Out -- thirty-love! |
| 255 | * TheBusCameBack: After {{four|IsDeath}} episodes and over one year of being absent, and after having been written out following [[spoiler:Blitztank]]'s rampage, [[VideoGame/AkatsukiBlitzkampf Adler]] is one of two [[MonsterOfTheWeek Monsters of the Week]] in [[VideoGame/PapersPlease "Death to Arstotzka"]], [[spoiler:now converted into a {{cyborg}}]]. |
| 256 | * CallingCard: Sonic.exe and Genocide Jack each have similar ones: writing in what looks like blood but is actually paint near a crime scene, with different phrases. .exe has "[[AGodAmI I AM GOD]]" and Jack has "[[MythologyGag BLOODLUST]]". |
| 257 | * CameoCluster: One key point about the series is the large number of characters who make cameos, and there's three to five each episode. This ''is'' a MassiveMultiplayerCrossover, after all. |
| 258 | * CatGirl: The majority of the La Soleil staff are unusually cute catgirls. Justified because of their [[VisualNovel/{{Nekopara}} source material]]. |
| 259 | * CerebusRollercoaster: There's [[HorrorComedy a mix of comedy and horror]] in here... or as much horror as logbat99 can take before he has to turn it back into a funny moment. |
| 260 | * ChainsawGood: Once again, Alex's preferred weapon is a chainsaw. |
| 261 | * CharacterCatchphrase: Jeff has "This is X all over again, isn't it?" where X is a ShoutOut to media that relates to the event that is unfolding in some way. |
| 262 | * CharacterTics: Jeff adjusts his glasses, his bow tie, or [[BreadEggsBreadedEggs his glasses and bow tie]]. |
| 263 | * ChekhovsGag: For some reason, [[spoiler: aphrodisiacs]] have a different effect on Despair Robots than they do on humans. While humans [[spoiler:have their ExtremeLibido increased]], Despair Robots can't take this seemingly unknown substance and instead [[spoiler:have short bursts of lightning flowing through and harming their body]]. This point is first established by in "Origins of the Despair Robots" when [[VisualNovel/Danganronpa2GoodbyeDespair Hiyoko Saionji]] spills some into Porky's soup [[TheBully on purpose]] and reappears two episodes later when Porky and [[VisualNovel/Danganronpa2GoodbyeDespair Teruteru Hanamura]] are chased by [[spoiler:the Phantomorph]] who is held back for a good amount of time. |
| 264 | * ChekhovsGunman: |
| 265 | ** [[Anime/Danganronpa3TheEndOfHopesPeakHighSchool Seiko Kimura]] is both TheCameo in "Hope Breakout" and the MonsterOfTheWeek in "Pharmacist of Peril" and "Teraphobia". |
| 266 | ** [[VisualNovel/SuperDanganronpaAnother2 Kanade Otonokoji]] is the ReusedCharacterDesign for Ash Davis and ends up [[spoiler:becoming the true identity of the Phantomorph]]. |
| 267 | * ChekhovsNews: Rias Gremory used to be a [[PageThreeStunna Page Four Stunna]], as seen in "Fun is Infinite" when Jeff and Miu read the local paper. Come series 4B, she's a secondary protagonist. |
| 268 | * ChristmasEpisode: The appropriately-named "How the Minch Stole Christmas". |
| 269 | * ChronicBackstabbingDisorder: Porky Minch (target: [[spoiler:Rias Gremory]]). |
| 270 | * ClothingDamage: It's not shown on anyone except Porky and [[spoiler:Kanade]], who both play it for drama. Underneath their clothing (as seen, respectively, when AnArmAndALeg is lost to Lucy and [[spoiler:Issei uses Dress Break]]) is SkeleBot9000 appearances taken from the Franchise/{{Terminator}}. |
| 271 | * {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Sans. And Sonic.exe, to some extent. |
| 272 | * CloudcuckoolandersMinder: In the latter case, Infinite is the one to keep his attitude (copied from Sonic himself) at bay. |
| 273 | * CodeEmergency: When an explosion goes off in [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic Ponyville]], a person wearing a [[VideoGame/HotlineMiami Jones mask]] asks for [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inspector_Sands Inspector Sands]] to report to the Carousel Boutique. |
| 274 | * CodeName: Porky receives a new one each week that he uses to try to conceal his identity. They're all clearly based on [[WesternAnimation/TheSecretShow Changed Daily's names]]. |
| 275 | * ColonyDrop: For the fights against both [[spoiler:the Iron Minch]] and [[spoiler:Walpurgisnacht]], entire buildings are thrown at the Warriors. |
| 276 | * CompanyCrossReferences: The official bios feature ''DarthWiki/CMCPlusBloopers'' characters, as does "Dangerous Diclonius". |
| 277 | * CompleteImmortality: Being a completely immortal robot, Porky is immune to death. This is ironically reflected when he tells Junko that WeAllDieSomeday bar him moments before [[spoiler:Junko dies. Thus Porky spends the rest of his time [[GraveMarkingScene visiting Junko's grave]]]]. |
| 278 | * CompositeCharacter: Porky does not use his ''VideoGame/Mother3'' appearance, yet [[OlderThanTheyLook his age]] is [[ReallySevenHundredYearsOld somewhere in the thousands]]. |
| 279 | * ConvectionSchmonvection: When fighting in a volcano near the end of [[Literature/IsItWrongToTryToPickUpGirlsInADungeon "Labyrinth of the Minotaur"]], none of the characters feel any extreme heat, except one Dalek who malfunctions mid-battle and [[KillItWithFire burns himself in the lava]]. Even the HonkingArrivingCar is immune to the heat. |
| 280 | * CoolCar: Many characters have VideoGame/FZero machines that match either their character or their personality. As an example, Sonic.exe is an evil clone of Sonic, and he drives the Blood Hawk, the original pilot of which is Blood Falcon, an evil clone of Captain Falcon. |
| 281 | * CosplayCafe: La Soleil has become this in the absence of [[VisualNovel/{{Nekopara}} Kashou Minaduki]]. 6 out of 7 members of staff [[CatGirl have cat ears and tails that are not cosplay]]. |
| 282 | * CountryMatters: |
| 283 | ** [[VideoGame/MegaMan1 Cut Man]] recalls how [[VideoGame/MegaMan6 Wind Man]] once used his power to attack a local cinema and knock the "o" off ''Literature/TheCountOfMonteCristo''... and the result was the letters reading ''[[BaitAndSwitch The Count of Monte Crist]]''. |
| 284 | ** [[spoiler:Kanade Otonokoji]] blurts out several in a DeletedScene as a ShoutOut to ''Series/TheThickOfIt''. |
| 285 | * CrackFic: Can be described as this. The videos are meant to parody {{Massive Multiplayer Crossover}}s, given that one of its aims was to turn Rule50 to the max while still containing a good storyline. |
| 286 | * CreatorCameo: |
| 287 | ** Apparently, logbat99 enjoys playing games from ''VideoGame/TheJackboxPartyPack'' such as ''Trivia Murder Party 2'', as he can be seen playing the games along with the New Hope Warriors, the evidence being his name on the screen in the background. |
| 288 | ** "logbat99" is [[ThePasswordIsAlwaysSwordfish the password for Jeff's laptop]]. |
| 289 | * CreepilyLongArms: Sonic.EYX has the longest arms in the series, which can form a makeshift ropeway. It's heavily implied they have JigglePhysics as well! |
| 290 | * CrossoverCouple: Between [[VideoGame/{{Mother}} Porky Minch]] and [[Franchise/{{Danganronpa}} Junko Enoshima]]... in a ''downplayed'' example. They are together a lot, but not in a relationship at all. |
| 291 | * CurseCutShort: |
| 292 | ** "Hope Breakout" features Fuyuhiko yelling "Son of a--!" before his police car forms part of the wreckage that greets him. |
| 293 | ** [[Anime/Danganronpa3TheEndOfHopesPeakHighSchool "Pharmacist of Peril"]] has this when one Pigmask sees Seiko becoming monstrous: |
| 294 | --->'''Pigmask:''' [[WebVideo/JonTron WHAT? WHAT THE FU--?]] ''[is hit by falling rubble]'' |
| 295 | ** In one episode, "[[Series/TheInbetweeners bus wankers]]" -- [[VideoGame/MegaMan11 Bounce Man]], the speaker, is hit by LowClearance before he can finish. |
| 296 | --->'''[[VideoGame/MegaMan6 Knight Man]]:''' [[IWarnedYou I did warn him]]. |
| 297 | * CuteClumsyGirl: Despite being TheMedic of the team, Mikan Tsumiki constantly trips over due to her shy nature. |
| 298 | * CyberneticsEatYourSoul: The [[VideoGame/AkatsukiBlitzkampf Blitz Motor]] converts organic matter into cybernetic material. [[spoiler:This is what turned the Despair Robots into [[FullConversionCyborg Full-Conversion Cyborgs]].]] |
| 299 | * CyberpunkIsTechno: A variant. No matter [[WhereTheHellIsSpringfield where the unnamed futuristic city is]], there is definitely a techno soundtrack in it. It is the GenreMotif of the series in general, despite it being very little cyberpunk itself. |
| 300 | [[/folder]] |
| 301 | |
| 302 | [[folder:D-K]] |
| 303 | * DarkerAndEdgier: Series 4 takes this turn, with a FireAndBrimstoneHell followed by an AbsurdlySpaciousSewer in the first episode, a soldier with a uniform [[BloodIron made from his own blood]], the series' first and only MsFanservice villain -- [[Literature/HighSchoolDxD Raynare]], who comes from a series with [[{{Understatement}} a lot of]] {{fanservice}} -- Mark's right arm being crushed ([[SouthpawAdvantage good thing he's left-handed]]), and [[spoiler:a ShapeshiftingTrickster ArcVillain who claims to be the ''true'' [[LastOfHisKind last of the Despair Robots]], is near-invulnerable, and [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking has uncensored swear words]]]]. |
| 304 | * DarkFic: ''A lot'' of the content here is rather dark even with the creators' sense of humor, ''especially'' when the series reaches series 4B territory (as above). |
| 305 | * DarkIsNotEvil: Celestia Ludenberg was intentionally added to the New Hope Warriors as a form of contrasting image. |
| 306 | * DarkLordOnLifeSupport: Porky Minch is fuelled on liquid [[VisualNovel/Danganronpa2GoodbyeDespair Despair Disease]]. |
| 307 | * DasherDancerPrancerAndNixon: During a FunnyBackgroundEvent in the ChristmasEpisode, one Pigmask reads ''Literature/TwasTheNightBeforeChristmas'' to the others and accidentally calls Prancer "[[VideoGame/{{Deltarune}} Spamton]]", much to the others' dismay. (That or he's distracted by Spamton himself on the battlefield.) [[BrickJoke He tries again later]] and calls Blitzen "[[VideoGame/AkatsukiBlitzkampf Blitz]]'''[[VideoGame/AkatsukiBlitzkampf tank]]'''", causing the other Pigmasks to beat him up. |
| 308 | * DatelessGrave: Due to YearX, many gravestones in the Hope's Peak cemetery do not have dates on them. [[spoiler:Including that of Junko Enoshima.]] |
| 309 | * DeadToBeginWith: [[spoiler:Miu Iruma]] is described this way, with the {{Trope Namer|s}} [[Literature/AChristmasCarol rererenced]], in series 2's first episode, "The Fans". |
| 310 | * DeathIsDramatic: [[spoiler:Junko's, particularly.]] |
| 311 | * DeceptiveLegacy: [[spoiler:Jeff's father, Dr. Andonuts, is not [[DisappearedDad missing]], he is [[DeceasedParentsAreTheBest dead]]. The Phantomorph reveals she killed him because of his nuclear weapons against the Despair Robots.]] |
| 312 | * DeconstructedTrope: In "Dangerous Diclonius", [[Manga/ElfenLied Lucy]] deconstructs her role as a MonsterOfTheWeek. Although she's villainous in her home series, here she's being manipulated by Infinite into killing the New Hope Warriors. As soon as she realises what she's done, she turns on Porky Minch and fights ''him''. Both survive their encounter, but Lucy willingly accepts containment. |
| 313 | * DeliberateVHSQuality: Some of [[VideoGame/KatanaZero Electrohead]]'s TV graphics as part of his disco (including [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CebPvjuvY80 this]] OncePerEpisode EarlyBirdCameo of Rias Gremory) are given a {{vaporwave}} aesthetic which gives them this look. The quality drops slightly when Tony gatecrashes the party. |
| 314 | * DemographicDissonantCrossover: Unless one counts VideoGame/{{Mugen}}, you'd never see, for example, Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog alongside the ''Franchise/{{Danganronpa}}'' cast. Exaggerated with the announcement of ''Literature/HighSchoolDXD'', a series BestKnownForTheFanservice, arriving in series 4. |
| 315 | * DemotedToExtra: |
| 316 | ** Porky is only mentioned by name in [[Franchise/{{Barbie}} "Nightmare House"]]; we don't see him onscreen. |
| 317 | ** Supporting villain Richard, who appears semi-regularly in the first three and a half seasons, is reduced to appearing solely in Rias' NightmareSequence in series 4B. |
| 318 | * DespairEventHorizon: Permanently crossed by [[spoiler:Porky Minch]] when [[spoiler:Junko dies]]. |
| 319 | * DestinationDefenestration: If Tony punches someone near a window, chances are they'll go flying straight through it, complete with shattered glass flying everywhere. This includes Raynare, although it takes four hits for her to do so. |
| 320 | * DevelopmentGag: The music when Tony gatecrashes DJ Electrohead's dance party is "Kill Your TV". [[WordOfGod A Discord thread]] reveals that this was the music used for the TitleSequence of three early episodes from 2022 that got themselves deleted due to real life issues. Doubles as a MythologyGag as the same music plays when Electrohead is confronted in [[VideoGame/KatanaZero his source game]]. |
| 321 | * DeusExNukina: The lore reveals that Dr. Andonuts, Jeff's father, wiped out nearly all of the usually-indestructible Despair Robots with a single nuke. |
| 322 | * DiesDifferentlyInAdaptation: [[spoiler:In ''VisualNovel/DanganronpaTriggerHappyHavoc'', Junko Enoshima was hit with [[ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill every single execution]] and was crushed to death. Here, she's killed with a single bullet to the stomach.]] |
| 323 | * DinerBrawl: The fight with Sonic.EYX in [[VisualNovel/{{Nekopara}} "Neko Hell"]]. |
| 324 | * DisappearedDad: Since Jeff joined his boarding school, his father went missing, and he's still not been discovered. Turns out [[spoiler:the Phantomorph [[DeceasedParentsAreTheBest killed him]]]]. |
| 325 | * DiscOneFinalBoss: Non-video game example. At about the three-quarter mark of Part One of "Witch Hunt", [[spoiler:[[Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica Oktavia von Seckendorff]], inhabitant of the Mariana Trench, is set up to be the FinalBoss of the second series, only for her to be revealed as one of Walpurgisnacht's henchmen]]. |
| 326 | * DisintegratorRay: One is used by [[spoiler:Blitztank]] to [[TheyKilledKennyAgain kill Kenny]] and [[spoiler:burn down the [=PizzaPlex=]]]. |
| 327 | * DistractedByTheSexy: One fight in Series 2 grinds to a halt the minute Tony sees [[VideoGame/DragonBallFighterZ Android 21]] materialise out of nowhere. Mark has to snap Tony out of his trance by [[TakeThat shooting 21 with both of his MP5s]]. |
| 328 | * DoctorWhomage: Jeff is a childlike version of the Doctor who has an English accent, [[Characters/DoctorWhoEleventhDoctor wears a bow tie]], is UsefulNotes/{{asexual}}, and pilots a Falcon Flyer that's BiggerOnTheInside. The Daleks themselves even appear as common enemies. However, the Doctor DoesntLikeGuns; Jeff, on the other hand... |
| 329 | * DoesntLikeGuns: Tony, true to ''VideoGame/HotlineMiami2WrongNumber''. His punches can deal massive damage and even knock people out cold, but he decides not to use guns or other weapons as a trade-off, and is the only Fan with this attribute. |
| 330 | * TheDogWasTheMastermind: Nobody in-universe was expecting [[spoiler:[[VisualNovel/SuperDanganronpaAnother2 Kanade Otonokoji]] to be the true identity of the Phantomorph]]. |
| 331 | * DoNotSpoilThisEnding: There is a rule on the Discord server that any and all spoilers (except [[spoiler:Blitztank]] under [[FictionalVideoGame certain conditions]]) are not to be discussed until a fortnight after the series finale's release. Series 4 would extend this limit further: any and all mentions of [[spoiler:the Phantomorph]] except in spoiler channels are banned until the full release of series 4B. |
| 332 | * TheDragon: [[Franchise/{{Danganronpa}} Junko Enoshima]] is the second-in-command of Neo Ultimate Despair. |
| 333 | * DropTheCow: Being part-[[Series/TheMuppetShow Muppet Newsman]], Kokichi is sometimes subject to this. For example, Drop the [[VideoGame/{{Terraria}} Nebular Pillar]] in TheTeaser for "Lord of the Moon". |
| 334 | -->'''Kokichi:''' ''[after the Nebula Pillar falls on him mid-report]'' [[QuietCryForHelp ...Help?]] |
| 335 | * EarlyBirdCameo: |
| 336 | ** The CosplayCafe [[VisualNovel/{{Nekopara}} La Soleil]] is first mentioned in the trailer and debuts in the first episode of the series, getting its own spotlight in "Neko Hell". |
| 337 | ** Prior to becoming a one-time companion in series 2 followed by a supporting cast member in 4A, [[Literature/HighSchoolDxD Rias Gremory]] provides several background cameos. Highlights include a [[PageThreeStunna Page Four Stunna]] in the local paper, a pin-up in Miu's room, [[https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/highschooldxd/images/1/11/High_School_DxD_08%2C_Eyecatch_1.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20130416095621 this]] EyeCatch appearing as one of the Fans' laptop wallpapers, and [[VideoGame/KatanaZero DJ Electrohead]]'s dance party's TV graphics showing [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CebPvjuvY80 the ending of the anime's first series]] and giving it a {{vaporwave}} filter. |
| 338 | ** [[VideoGame/{{Undertale}} Mettaton]] first appears by name in a GagCensor in "Dangerous Diclonius" before becoming a news reporter later in the story. |
| 339 | * EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: A ''lot'' throughout the pilot. |
| 340 | ** There is no ''[[ShowWithinAShow Sweetheart's Quest for Hearts]]'' CouchGag. |
| 341 | ** The TitleSequence hadn't been released on [=YouTube=], leading to a UniquePilotTitleSequence. |
| 342 | ** Only two characters cameo as opposed to the CameoCluster in future episodes: Rias Gremory and Rainbow Dash, both in the same scene. |
| 343 | * EldritchOceanAbyss: The Mariana Trench, where Oktavia lurks. |
| 344 | * ElegantGothicLolita: Celestia Ludenberg. |
| 345 | * EliteFour: Junko Enoshima, Monokuma, Sonic.exe and Infinite. |
| 346 | * EmbarrassingBrowserHistory: [[spoiler:The Phantomorph]] has one which they claim is "[[Literature/HaruhiSuzumiya classified information]]" every single time it is mentioned. Not so much classified when Sage does an impromptu reveal that one of the items is [[ShockSite "2 Girls 1 Cup"]]. [[MoodDissonance Right in the middle of the]] FinalBattle. |
| 347 | * EmbarrassingRingtone: |
| 348 | ** From [[Anime/Danganronpa3TheEndOfHopesPeakHighSchool "Hope Breakout"]], Seiko Kimura's phone JustForFun/{{rickroll}}s [[RunningGag everyone on the battlefield]]. |
| 349 | ** Similarly, [[VideoGame/AmandaTheAdventurer "Andonuts the Adventurer"]] features [[Music/SirMixALot "Baby Got Back"]] as Shuichi's ringtone. |
| 350 | * EmbarrassingSlide: Adler's [=PowerPoint=] presentation on Operation Iron Horse and Blitz Motors is organised collaboratively by various villains... including Sans, who justifies this trope by [[RunningGag setting one slide to play a]] JustForFun/{{rickroll}}. |
| 351 | * EmotionalPowers: [[spoiler:The Iron Minch Mk. 2 is apparently fuelled partially on Porky's UnstoppableRage against the Phantomorph.]] |
| 352 | * EnemyMine: [[spoiler:Porky Minch]] with the protagonists, ''especially'' Rias Gremory, in Series 4B. Where Rias doesn't mind someone helping her carry out her quest of destroying all threats to the world, [[spoiler:Porky]] outright ''hates'' her and states that he does not need any help. Even after the NightmareSequence Rias receives. |
| 353 | * EscapedFromTheLab: Subjects [[Manga/ElfenLied 4]] and [[VideoGame/{{Omori}} 8]] in their respective first appearances. 4 in particular goes on to [[PrisonEscapeArtist continue escaping on several other occasions]] in ''DarthWiki/CMCPlusBloopers'' (set after ''Corrupt Crossover''). |
| 354 | * EstablishingCharacterMoment: |
| 355 | ** "The First Problem" demonstrates the New Hope Warriors' characteristics in their debuts. %%Three out of six have yet to be confirmed. |
| 356 | *** The first time Jeff appears, he guns down two Pigmasks with ease. |
| 357 | *** Celeste acts polite to Jeff, and offers to clear up La Soleil. |
| 358 | *** Right off the bat, Miu accuses one careless driver of being a "road hog". |
| 359 | ** Tony's first appearance highlights his punches being able to kill in one hit -- or at the very least, knock someone out unconscious -- and his DoesntLikeGuns attitude. |
| 360 | ** In-universe when [[spoiler:Porky Minch]] punches Rias in the face the first time he meets her. |
| 361 | ** [[spoiler:The Phantomorph is first seen killing [[VideoGame/PokemonSunAndMoon Lusamine]]. While using the appearance of Franchise/{{Sailor M|oon}}ercury.]] |
| 362 | * EternalEngine: The title of a fourth series episode, used to describe [[spoiler:the Blitz Motor]]. Averted in the series proper. |
| 363 | * EvenTheSubtitlerIsStumped: In VideoGame/SonicEyx's [[EarlyInstallmentWeirdness debut]], his first breathing noises are translated in the text box as "*what is that noise he's making*". |
| 364 | * EvilBrit: Implied for Porky Minch, given [[@/{{logbat99}} who he's voiced by]] in later episodes. |
| 365 | * EvolvingCredits: The TitleSequence changes over the course of the story. |
| 366 | ** In the first series, all six New Hope Warriors, their biggest fan, and [[BreadEggsMilkSquick the main antagonist]], are displayed onscreen alongside their machine. |
| 367 | ** Following Miu's departure from the series (read: [[spoiler:death by Iron Minch]]), she is replaced with Byakuya Togami, [[PromotionToOpeningTitles a former one-off character]] in "Tragedy of the Warriors", in the second season. |
| 368 | ** In the third series, the titles change in style and music drastically, but the character order stays the same. |
| 369 | ** When [[VideoGame/FiveNightsAtFreddysSecurityBreach Roxanne Wolf]] becomes a major series 3 ally to the Warriors, she replaces Porky Minch and swaps places with Tsumugi in character order. |
| 370 | ** In the final series (4B in particular), [[OminousVisualGlitch the backgrounds glitch]] with increasing intensity to represent the terror unfolding and the ArcVillain's increasing destruction. Also, [[Literature/HighSchoolDxD Rias Gremory]] has a PromotionToOpeningTitles and replaces Roxanne Wolf to show this, even if Roxy herself is also present. |
| 371 | * ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin: |
| 372 | ** The series as a whole is a crossover gone corrupt by the Despair Robots. |
| 373 | ** ''[[FictionalVideoGame Monsters vs. Robots]]'' participant [[WesternAnimation/{{Superjail}} Jailbot]] is a robot who guards a jail. The trope is name-dropped in [[AllThereInTheManual its official bio]]. |
| 374 | ** The song that plays when Subject 8 escapes [[ShapedLikeItself is called "Subject 8 Escapes"]]. |
| 375 | * ExcusePlot: The first episode had this, before it was expanded over the course of the series. |
| 376 | * ExplainExplainOhCrap: During Series 4B: |
| 377 | -->'''Rias:''' [Porky] almost died! I need to revive him!\ |
| 378 | '''Jeff:''' Actually, A) he's already got motifs revolving around devils of some sort, and B) he never dies because he's a Despair Robot. [[spoiler:Just like [[ShapeshiftingTrickster his opponent]]]]... oh no. |
| 379 | * ExpospeakGag: In "Tragedy of the Warriors", instead of telling Sonic.exe to shut up, Porky does this: |
| 380 | -->'''Porky:''' Sonic.exe...? There's something on your face. [...] It's hanging off the front of your face. It's a sort of... uhh... huge shelf of bone and flesh... and probably other material... and it's flapping about making a horrible noise, will you make it stop? |
| 381 | * {{Expy}}: |
| 382 | ** Jeff has several similarities with [[Literature/ASeriesOfUnfortunateEvents Klaus Baudelaire]], as both of them use their research to their advantage and are one of the main protagonists of their respective series. |
| 383 | ** Infinite shares a few motifs with Literature/ThePhantomOfTheOpera. Sure, there's the {{mask|OfPower}}, but whatever's underneath it has been hideously disfigured since he was thrown in the reactor of the Eggman Empire Fortress. Infinite, like the Phantom, is also a MasterOfIllusion. |
| 384 | ** Alter Ego, much like [[Film/IronManFilms J.A.R.V.I.S]], is extremely advanced ArtificialIntelligence that sometimes becomes a DeadpanSnarker. |
| 385 | ** Byakuya shares some similarities in backstory with Franchise/JohnWick. He used to be an assassin (and, judging by his role outside of the New Hope Warriors, still is one), and the Togami family had died from a mysterious illness. In "The Fans", his machine, the Fat Shark, is stolen by [[VideoGame/HotlineMiami2WrongNumber the titular antagonists]], who also beat him up and throw him into the Falcon Flyer, setting up his role as a major protagonist. |
| 386 | ** The CloneArmy is clearly based on the one from ''VideoGame/DragonballFighterz''. |
| 387 | ** Sonic.EYX is based on [[VideoGame/PizzaTower Fake Peppino]]: he is a deformed and BodyHorror-filled version of the character he's based on. |
| 388 | ** The ''TabletopGame/YuGiOh'' Spell card [[https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Jackpot_7 Jackpot 7]] has a fighting style based on the slot machine boss from the original ''VideoGame/StarFox1''. |
| 389 | ** [[spoiler:WordOfGod is that the Phantomorph is based on [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic Queen Chrysalis]]. Both characters are {{Shapeshifting Trickster}}s, but where Chrysalis is limited to transforming into other ponies, the Phantomorph expands her target to include ''anything'', living or dead. Their true identities are also both female.]] |
| 390 | * EyeOfHorusMeansEgypt: Egyptian-themed MonsterOfTheWeek [[VideoGame/MegaMan4 Pharaoh Man]] has a shield of light that looks like the Eye of Horus. |
| 391 | * FakeCrossover: The first trailer blatantly states that this is an alternate universe in the OpeningScroll at the end. |
| 392 | * FanDisservice: |
| 393 | ** In "Eternal Engine", [[spoiler:we're treated to a close-up shot of Rias Gremory in her underwear... except it's the Phantomorph disguised as Rias, and she's revealing the Blitz Motor to a captive Porky]]. |
| 394 | ** In "Ultimate Annihilation", [[spoiler:Issei's [[TheNudifier Dress Break]] [[GoneHorriblyWrong going horribly wrong]] and causing Kanade's RoboticReveal]]. |
| 395 | * FanserviceExtra: Rias Gremory on the cover of the Series 4 soundtrack. Inverted and downplayed; she is also a supporting cast member throughout that series, and her clothes aren't that revealing. |
| 396 | * FictionalDocument: [[KentBrockmanNews Super High School Level News]]' weekly newspaper. |
| 397 | * FictionalVideoGame: ''VideoGame/{{Mugen}}''-made video game ''Monsters vs. Robots''. |
| 398 | * FinalBoss: |
| 399 | ** [[spoiler:The Iron Minch]] in series 1. |
| 400 | ** [[spoiler:Walpurgisnacht]] in series 2. |
| 401 | ** [[spoiler:Blitztank]] in series 3. |
| 402 | ** Series 4 has two: [[VideoGame/AkatsukiBlitzkampf Inazuma]] (unofficially) for 4A, and [[spoiler:the Phantomorph]] for 4B. |
| 403 | * FireAndBrimstoneHell: Where Rias Gremory first appears, having been chained up and tortured endlessly by the then-unidentified [[spoiler:Phantomorph]]. Once Tony frees her, they both have to escape the place as well. |
| 404 | * FiveFiveFive: [[KentBrockmanNews Super High School Level News]]' number is 555-9712 [[EarlyInstallmentWeirdness in the first trailer]] and 555-[[Franchise/TheHitchhikersGuideToTheGalaxy 42]][[ArcNumber 53]] elsewhere. Averted in "Black Hole Bombed" where they use JennysNumber instead. |
| 405 | * FiveSecondForeshadowing: One CouchGag features "Queen" from ''VideoGame/{{Deltarune}}'' as the background music. Sweetheart's timeslot is taken by Spamton NEO, also from ''Deltarune'', trashing the set with his "POWER OF [NEO]". |
| 406 | * {{Foreshadowing}}: |
| 407 | ** In "Bear Behaving Badly", Kaede sends a text to Jeff about a new fashion sensation in Hope's Peak. In "Tragedy of the Warriors", it's revealed early on that said sensation is then-MonsterOfTheWeek Junko Enoshima. |
| 408 | ** The first thing that hits Miu and causes her machine to fly into the glass is Porky Minch's Black Bull. [[spoiler:The last thing that hits Miu and [[KilledOffForReal kills her]] is a laser beam from Porky Minch's HumongousMecha.]] |
| 409 | ** The ChristmasEpisode sees one Pigmask [[DasherDancerPrancerAndNixon call Blitzen "Blitztank"]], likely because he's a frequent ''[[FictionalVideoGame Monsters vs. Robots]]'' player, got confused, and mixed up his sources. This is why the other Pigmasks beat him up. [[spoiler:And then Blitztank itself went on to become the FinalBoss of the third series.]] |
| 410 | ** In "The Fans", Byakuya Togami pilots a tank, or at least he knows how to. Fast-forward to series 3, and [[spoiler:[[RussianReversal in Soviet Russia]], [[VideoGame/AkatsukiBlitzkampf tank]] pilots you]]. |
| 411 | ** [[RewatchBonus Hidden]] in a ''Series/DoctorWho'' reference: "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS36E5Oxygen I thought I sent you [Sans] to Hiroshima for a packet of sweets.]]" [[spoiler:Blitztank is [[ArtisticLicenseHistory apparently]] responsible for the UsefulNotes/AtomicBombingsOfHiroshimaAndNagasaki.]] |
| 412 | ** The lampshading of InconsistentSpelling applying to Neo Politan involves Infinite bringing up ''VideoGame/BlazBlueCrossTagBattle''. [[spoiler:Neo and Blitztank are both in that game.]] |
| 413 | ** For the FictionalVideoGame ''Monsters vs. Robots'': |
| 414 | *** Adler being playable on the robot side makes sense when [[spoiler:he becomes a cyborg]] in Series 4. |
| 415 | *** It's entirely possible to have two robots fight each other. [[spoiler:This is what happens in the FinalBattle.]] |
| 416 | ** [[spoiler:The Phantomorph's fake BossRush leaving out the Iron Minch]] hints at [[spoiler:another Iron Minch in the series]]. |
| 417 | * FountainOfMemes: In-universe with the Pigmasks, in which 75% of their lines are stock Internet memes, making them almost ''literal'' Fountains of Memes. |
| 418 | * FourIsDeath: |
| 419 | ** Fanfic/SonicExe first appears in the fourth episode[[note]]not counting his EarlyBirdCameo in the Title Sequence for [[KentBrockmanNews Super High School Level News]][[/note]]. |
| 420 | ** Porky's full name is also Porky Minch the Fourth. |
| 421 | ** Given that the number 4 is unlucky in most Asian cultures, [[FridgeBrilliance this might also explain]] why Subject 4 a.k.a. Diclonius Thirteen a.k.a Lucy comes from [[Manga/ElfenLied Japanese media]]. |
| 422 | ** There are four seasons overall, with the fourth and final series being JustForFun/{{the one w|ith}}here CerebusSyndrome kicks in... partially, and all loose ends in the plot are tied up. (The first episode of series four even has this trope's name as its title!) |
| 423 | * FourOneNineScam: Corey ''narrowly'' avoids falling for one in "The Fans". Turns out she's entirely disinterested in '''[[Series/ThatMitchellAndWebbLook MASSIVE YACHTS]]'''. |
| 424 | * FourthWallMailSlot: There exists an "askbox" in which viewers submit [=YouTube=] comments and emails containing questions, which are answered by the cast. Of course, ones that ask [[SheIsNotMyGirlfriend whether or not Junko is Porky's girlfriend]] and that ask about logbat99 himself are ignored. |
| 425 | * FreakyElectronicMusic: Emphasis on the "freaky". [[spoiler:The Phantomorph]], after [[spoiler:she goes insane at seeing the Despair Video]], obtains the {{Leitmotif}} of "Fahkeet" from ''VideoGame/HotlineMiami2WrongNumber'': a strange and distorted track with a lot of GratuitousPanning. |
| 426 | * FreezeFrameBonus: [[spoiler:Hidden within the Despair Video is a scene from ''Film/TheHumanCentipede''.]] |
| 427 | * FullConversionCyborg: [[spoiler:The Despair Robots, after their encounters with [[VideoGame/AkatsukiBlitzkampf Blitz]] [[CyberneticsEatYourSoul Motors]].]] |
| 428 | * FunWithAcronyms: |
| 429 | ** A NonSequitur mid-[[VideoGame/AmandaTheAdventurer "Andonuts the Adventurer"]] features one Pigmask telling [[VideoGame/MegaMan3 Shadow Man]] to [[SuicideDare "KYS"]]. A Dalek who struggles with online acronyms and slang terminology asks him what it means, and the Pigmask tells him it means [[BlatantLies "Keep Yourself Safe"]]. |
| 430 | ** Also the basis of an ''Radio/ImSorryIHaventAClue'' game played on the official Discord server, in which players think of new meanings for various acronyms. |
| 431 | * GagCensor: Parodied throughout the first 10% of "Dangerous Diclonius". In order to {{bowdlerise}} the nudity from the original, titular diclonius [[Manga/ElfenLied Lucy]]'s breasts are covered by an ''VideoGame/{{Undertale}}'' [[CensorBox text box]] [[FreezeFrameBonus reading]] "[[AC:Censored by [[EarlyBirdCameo Mettaton]] because [[OurLawyersAdvisedThisTrope our lawyers advised it]] during the editing process.]]" |
| 432 | ** There's also some scenes of Rias lifted directly from the original anime. Like Lucy before her, her initially uncensored breasts are "[[AC:Removed to conform with ''Corrupt Crossover'' [[OurLawyersAdvisedThisTrope censorship laws]]]]". |
| 433 | * GenderFlip: [[VideoGame/HotlineMiami2WrongNumber Ash Davis]] is female here. |
| 434 | * GenreMashup: |
| 435 | ** Series-wise, the fic is a MassiveMultiplayerCrossover that combines science fiction with {{Action|Horror}} and DigitalHorror and also throws in ''Literature/HarryPotter'' spells and fantasy worlds like that of ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic''. No wonder the teaser for Series 4B said it was like ''WebAnimation/MurderDrones''. |
| 436 | ** Music-wise, the soundtracks are primarily electronic, especially UsefulNotes/{{synthwave}}. There are also traces of rock, orchestra, and [[BreadEggsBreadedEggs a combination of the three]]. |
| 437 | * GenreMotif: Electronic music, mostly UsefulNotes/{{synthwave}}. There have also been some rock-based and orchestral techno tracks. |
| 438 | * GenreRefugee: |
| 439 | ** The cast of ''Literature/IsItWrongToTryToPickUpGirlsInADungeon'' certainly doesn't belong in a futuristic setting. |
| 440 | ** [[WesternAnimation/PussInBootsTheLastWish Death]] also qualifies, as he comes from a world of fairy tales, despite the CompanyCrossReferences with ''DarthWiki/CMCPlusBloopers''. |
| 441 | * GiantSpaceFleaFromNowhere: The FinalBoss of series 2 appears with little to no warning in the series finale. There isn't a single trace of {{foreshadowing}} present elsewhere. |
| 442 | * GiantSpider: Subject 8, a.k.a. Something in the Walls. |
| 443 | * GirlWithPsychoWeapon: Alex with a chainsaw. Also applies to the twins from [[Literature/HighSchoolDxD Riser Phenex]]'s peerage that she and Ash encounter. |
| 444 | * TheGoomba[[note]]''Franchise/SuperMarioBros'' is banned in ''Corrupt Crossover''. [[RunningGag This is an authorised exception.]][[/note]]: Pigmasks are the weakest type of henchman and are constantly killed off. |
| 445 | * GratuitousFrench: "La Soleil", the name of the local restaurant, is French for "the Sun". |
| 446 | * GraveMarkingScene: At the end of the series, [[spoiler:Porky Minch visits the grave of Junko Enoshima while locked in a permanent state of grief, and he still does to this day.]] |
| 447 | * {{Grimmification}}: Given to ''Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog'' a lot. Thanks, Infinite. |
| 448 | * TheGrinch: The only thing Porky likes about Christmas is the fact that second-in-command Junko's birthday is on Christmas Eve. |
| 449 | ** His reaction to a SecretSanta suggested by Sonic.exe: "What fresh hell is this?" |
| 450 | * GuestStarPartyMember: The series 1 finale gives this role to [[VisualNovel/Danganronpa2GoodbyeDespair Monomi]]. |
| 451 | * GutPunch: Though downplayed, the arrival of [[spoiler:the Phantomorph]] as a whole is this. |
| 452 | * HeartbrokenBadass: [[spoiler:Porky Minch, of all people, gets this treatment when his accomplice Junko Enoshima dies.]] |
| 453 | * HumongousMecha: [[spoiler:The Iron Minch, the FinalBoss of series 1, built by Porky Minch himself. Which was so popular in-universe it got itself a sequel for the GrandFinale.]] |
| 454 | * IDoNotOwn: In the descriptions of the videos and channel. |
| 455 | * IfIHadANickel: How the SheIsNotMyGirlfriend RunningGag culminates. |
| 456 | -->'''[[spoiler:Phantomorph]]:''' [[Characters/DanganronpaJunkoEnoshima She's]] your girlfriend, right?\ |
| 457 | '''Porky:''' If I had [[EvilBrit a pound]] for every time I heard that piece of...! |
| 458 | * ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: [[spoiler:The first blow Porky lands on Kanade in the GrandFinale is him turning his hand into a spear and nearly ripping out her heart. He misses by mere millimetres, but still severely damages her.]] |
| 459 | * ImpliedDeathThreat: Also a ShoutOut to ''VideoGame/PokerNight2'': Porky's answer to the question "What's black and white and red all over?" is "Tony if he doesn't complete his current mission".[[note]][[DontExplainTheJoke Tony's clothes are black and white...]][[/note]] |
| 460 | * InadvertentEntranceCue: During a Series 3 episode, the [[Literature/HaruhiSuzumiya SOS Brigade]] is looking for new members. According to Jeff, it's specifically seeking espers, aliens, time-travellers and-- cue [[Series/DoctorWho the TARDIS]] bursting into the assembly hall. |
| 461 | -->'''Spaceboy:''' Sorry, uh, you lot carry on. ''[[[MirthlessLaughter nervous laugh]]]'' [[MoveAlongNothingToSeeHere Nothing to see.]]\ |
| 462 | ''[the TARDIS vworps out of existence]'' |
| 463 | * InherentlyFunnyWords: |
| 464 | ** "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS30E7TheUnicornAndTheWasp Harvey]] [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harvey_Wallbanger Wallbanger]]" from "Attack of the Daleks". |
| 465 | ** In "Cyber-Conversion", the phrase "[[WesternAnimation/SouthPark Big Gay Al]] [[Series/BigFatQuizOfTheYear and his Big Scottish Pal]]" causes Sonic.exe to burst into uncontrollable laughter. |
| 466 | * InSeriesNickname: Several characters get nicknames over the course of the series that more often than not lead into ShoutOut territory. |
| 467 | * InsignificantLittleBluePlanet: Earth in this context is taken this way. The planet the series takes place on is Earth-'''V3'''. |
| 468 | * InsistentTerminology: The series is a "visual fanfiction", referred to as such in almost all trailers. |
| 469 | * InsultBackfire: |
| 470 | -->'''[[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic Rarity]]:''' You absolute ''ruffian''!\ |
| 471 | '''[[AxCrazy Tony]]:''' ...Thank you! |
| 472 | * InteractiveNarrator: logbat99 himself on occasion talks to the characters. |
| 473 | * TheInternetIsForPorn: Mentioned by Tony in the AnimatedOuttakes for the second series. During a screen recording for the OncePerEpisode [[Literature/HighSchoolDxD Rias Gremory]] EarlyBirdCameo, Mark moves File Explorer a few centimetres too far to the right, accidentally revealing Rias' ({{Gag Censor}}ed) breasts in the process. |
| 474 | -->'''Tony:''' Well, at least now you know what the Internet is for. |
| 475 | * IntroductoryOpeningCredits: The title sequence displays eight characters with their name, title, and [[VideoGame/FZero machine]]. |
| 476 | * InUniverseFactoidFailure: In "A Shapeshifter Among Us", Porky asks Rias if she originates from ''Literature/FiftyShadesOfGrey''. Those who have actually read the fic or have seen ''Literature/HighSchoolDXD'' will know precisely that he's wrong. |
| 477 | * InUniverseSoundtrack: |
| 478 | ** The ''[[Music/TheCaretaker Everywhere at the End of Time]]'' songs (stages 1, 2 and a bit of 3 only) give this implication: there is a grammophone in scenes the songs appear in. |
| 479 | ** Ibuki's Fire Stingray plays a snippet of Music/BabyMetal whenever she drives past in a temporary BackgroundMusicOverride (although during the climax of [[VideoGame/PapersPlease "Death to Arstotzka"]], ''[[Franchise/LoveLive Snow]] [[Music/SiIvaGunner halation]]'' [[SoundtrackDissonance plays instead]]). |
| 480 | ** Also a cause of the {{Wrong Song Gag}}s below. |
| 481 | * IronicName: The Old Hope Warriors. Although the "Old" part comes from them being the [[VideoGame/DanganronpaAnotherEpisodeUltraDespairGirls original Warriors of Hope]], all five of them are children, and used to take sides with Junko on the "despair" side. The latter point has since been turned on its head, as the Old Warriors now rival Junko. |
| 482 | * {{Irony}}: Sonic's theme (titled "Afterburner") comes from ''VideoGame/{{Fortnite}}'', MythologyGag [[VideoGame/AfterBurner aside]]. |
| 483 | * IrregularSeries: Considering [[DevelopmentHell the amount of time it takes to make the YouTube videos]]... |
| 484 | * ITakeOffenseToThatLastOne: In [[VideoGame/PokemonSwordAndShield "The Darkest Day"]], when Porky Minch infiltrates the Galar region and plans to take Eternatus for himself, Galar champion Leon insults him with the words [[Literature/HaruhiSuzumiya "time traveller", "esper", and "alien"]]. Porky responds by asking Leon if he looks alien. |
| 485 | * JacobMarleyWarning: Given by Porky to Junko in "Witch Hunt" when she is about to [[Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica make a contract with Kyubey]]: should she accept, her soul would be converted into a SoulJar that slowly darkens over time and, [[YourDaysAreNumbered once fully darkened]], would [[ForcedTransformation force you to turn into a witch]]. Given that Porky's SoulJar is later revealed to be [[spoiler:the indestructible Blitz Motor, which converts organic matter into cybernetic material]], it's implied that both his appearance in the series and his equivalent to a "witch" form are ''exactly the same''. |
| 486 | * JigglePhysics: But not in the way you'd expect. It's implied Sonic.EYX's ''[[CreepilyLongArms arms]]'' have this. |
| 487 | * JokeCharacter: '''[[VideoGame/{{Undertale}} Sans]].''' He is a walking talking skeleton who [[PungeonMaster enjoys telling bad puns]], doesn't really help much in battle, and has also been known to go LeeroyJenkins on occasion. Not a single thing he does aids the villains, other than provide a good laugh for the Pigmasks. He's even portrayed as a MemeticBadass InUniverse. |
| 488 | * KentBrockmanNews: The fictional news programme Super High School Level News (or SHSL News for short - fittingly, [[Franchise/{{Danganronpa}} "Ultimate"]] is "Super High School Level" [[DubNameChange in the original Japanese releases]]). Here's how it differs from other KentBrockmanNews examples: |
| 489 | ** Its {{Tagline}} is "The logbat99 Info Programme", meaning it extends outside of the stories and makes its way into logbat99's [=YouTube=] videos, even making their debut outside the project. Sometimes, the broadcasts even interject his Platform/{{Twitch}} streams. |
| 490 | ** Its intro music is actually the ''Series/BigBrother UK'' theme, but was outdated until series 3: ''Big Brother UK'' saw a revival in late 2023. The ''Corrupt Crossover'' pilot was released in 202'''5''', meaning SHSL News is stuck on the original theme. Despite this, both songs are electronic music to fit with the rest of the series. |
| 491 | * KilledOffForReal: Both [[spoiler:Miu Iruma]] and [[spoiler:Junko Enoshima]] die during the story, even when others come back without a scratch. |
| 492 | * KillerFinale: For the first and fourth seasons, in which, respectively, [[spoiler:Miu Iruma]] and [[spoiler:Junko Enoshima]] are killed. |
| 493 | * KineticNovel: The series attempts to mimic the style of one, having zero interactivity (they're [=YouTube=] videos) and therefore only one ending. |
| 494 | * KnightOfCerebus: The arrival of [[spoiler:the Phantomorph]] signals the series taking a DarkerAndEdgier turn near the end of it. |
| 495 | * TheKrampus: As revealed in the second ChristmasEpisode, Porky used to be good friends with him. |
| 496 | [[/folder]] |
| 497 | |
| 498 | [[folder:L-R]] |
| 499 | * LadyMacbeth: According to Tony, his ex-girlfriend [[Literature/HighSchoolDxD Raynare]] used to be this, and she was the one who initially manipulated him into killing people (thanks to the punches that kill someone[[note]]or, at the very least, knock someone out cold[[/note]] in one hit), becoming the vigilante he is today. Subverted when Raynare, as the MonsterOfTheWeek, shows no signs of manipulating Tony, although he does call her this name at one point. |
| 500 | * LaserBlade: The Masked Man's sword is this, heavily based on ''Franchise/StarWars'' lightsabers. |
| 501 | * LastEpisodeNewCharacter: [[spoiler:The second Iron Minch]] debuts in the final episode of series 4 and the GrandFinale overall. |
| 502 | * LastNameBasis: Neo is only referred to as "Miss Politan". Justified, she's the silent secretary of ThePsychoRangers. |
| 503 | * LastOfHisKind: Porky Minch is the last of the Despair Robots. |
| 504 | ** [[Manga/ElfenLied Lucy]] is also, seemingly, the last of the diclonii. Infinite describes this as being "the exact opposite of the [[Literature/TheHungerGames Hunger Games]] districts" (referring to the code name Diclonius Thirteen). |
| 505 | * LateArrivalSpoiler: To be expected, given the frequent {{Mythology Gag}}s and plot twists from source material. |
| 506 | ** From series 2 onwards, expect Miu Iruma to be in the same conversation as [[spoiler:her death]]. |
| 507 | ** [[spoiler:The Phantomorph, half-Junko Enoshima and half-Tsumugi Shirogane,]] is seen on the cover of the Series 4 soundtrack despite being a WalkingSpoiler across the series. |
| 508 | * LeaveTheCameraRunning: The UncomfortableElevatorMoment between the evil ''Sonic'' animals in [[VideoGame/FiveNightsAtFreddysSecurityBreach "Shatter in the PizzaPlex"]]. |
| 509 | * LeeroyJenkins: Being the JokeCharacter of the series, Sans is prone to doing this, and even shouts the trope name. It all comes to a head when he tries and fails to do this against [[spoiler:Walpurgisnacht]] in "Witch Hunt", with [[VideoGame/PokemonScarletAndViolet Iron Bundle]] watching him fail humorously. |
| 510 | ** Downplayed with Jeff. He's not afraid to run headlong into the face of danger, but he always goes over the battle plans in case of possible flaws prior to his attack. |
| 511 | * LegacyCharacter: |
| 512 | ** The Fans have different outfits because WordOfGod states that they're the descendants of the ''[[VideoGame/HotlineMiami2WrongNumber original]]'' Fans, who died in 1991. (Shame the people wearing the swan masks were both girls.) |
| 513 | ** ''DarthWiki/CMCPlusBloopers'' reveals that ''Corrupt Crossover''[='=]s Porky Minch is the descendant of ''VideoGame/Mother3''[='=]s Porky Minch. |
| 514 | * LightmareFuel: There's a limit to how much horror can be in the series. Special mention goes to Something, who, despite being an AnthropomorphicPersonification of irrational phobias, isn't really that scary here. Mari even tries to pet one of his spiders. |
| 515 | * LiteralMinded: Sans, and not just his puns. For example, when someone tells him to "hit it" (as in play the music) he [[WebVideo/UndertaleTheMusical walks offscreen and hits something]] that lets out a [[StockScream Wilhelm scream]]. He even pulls out Rias' bra and calls it a BoobyTrap in "Ultimate Annihilation" (though this one increases the [[RunningGag Sans Pun Count]] to [[Franchise/TheHitchhikersGuideToTheGalaxy 42]]). |
| 516 | ** Monokuma is implied to be this as well. The only time this happens is in [[Series/DoctorWho "Reconstruction of the Cybermen"]] where we get this exchange after he falls from a huge height: |
| 517 | --->'''Monokuma:''' Guys, I need backup! Send someone here ASAP!\ |
| 518 | ''[[[GiantSpider Something in the Walls]] drops down and begins to carry him up]''\ |
| 519 | '''Monokuma:''' Excuse me, I said someONE, not someTHING! |
| 520 | * LiteraryAllusionTitle: "A Battle Lost and Won" is this to ''Theatre/{{Macbeth}}''. |
| 521 | * LocalHangout: [[VisualNovel/{{Nekopara}} La Soleil]] is the main restaurant the New Hope Warriors go to. It often turns into a GoodGuyBar. |
| 522 | * Lol69: [[Literature/HighSchoolDxD Raynare]] has Website/SCPFoundation code name Subject 69. |
| 523 | * TheLostLenore: [[spoiler:The death of Junko hits Porky harder than ever, locking him into a permanent state of grief.]] Downplayed; this is only the ''end'' of the story. |
| 524 | * LowClearance: [[VideoGame/MegaMan11 Bounce Man]] falls victim to this in "Cyber-Conversion": |
| 525 | -->''[while on the road]''\ |
| 526 | '''Bounce Man:''' I'll get you, you little-- [[AttentionDeficitOohShiny Ooh, hello!]]\ |
| 527 | '''[[VideoGame/MegaMan6 Knight Man]]:''' Bounce, don't!\ |
| 528 | '''Bounce Man:''' ''[climbs on top of the car]'' [[Series/TheInbetweeners BUS]] [[CurseCutShort WAN-]]\ |
| 529 | ''[[[PoorCommunicationKills sign reading "LOW BRIDGE" appears behind him]], camera cuts to Knight Man with a SoundOnlyDeath and a [[StockScream Wilhelm scream]]]''\ |
| 530 | '''Knight Man:''' [[IWarnedYou I did warn him.]] |
| 531 | * TheLudovicoTechnique: A variation. [[spoiler:In the scene where the Phantomorph is forced to watch [[Anime/Danganronpa3TheEndOfHopesPeakHighSchool the Despair Video]], she is restrained to a chair, but her eyes are not forced open, presumably to prevent the scene getting ''too'' dark.]] This was done in the hopes that [[spoiler:her nightmares from when she was trapped in Room101 would be released from her. Which didn't happen - [[GoneHorriblyWrong it only made her stronger]]]]. |
| 532 | * MacGuffin: Subverted for the Cave of Wonders in [[Literature/IsItWrongToTryToPickUpGirlsInADungeon "Labyrinth of the Minotaur"]]. There is a golden cup in the background with a lowercase "h" in a medieval-style font. It provides no purpose other than to distract [[VideoGame/MegaMan9 Galaxy Man]]. |
| 533 | * MalevolentMaskedMen: The ''VideoGame/HotlineMiami'' representatives: |
| 534 | ** Richard is the least aggressive, though he has a habit of invading people's dreams and leaving cryptic clues to their life in the form of questions. |
| 535 | ** All five of the Fans are ruthless killing machines who only commit evil acts ForTheEvulz. Especially noticeable with Tony, who DoesntLikeGuns yet his punches can kill in one hit. |
| 536 | * MassiveMultiplayerCrossover: [[ExaggeratedTrope Oh so very much]], to the point that one of the series' intentions was to crank Rule50 up to 11. |
| 537 | * MeanCharacterNiceActor: As revealed in the series 4 AnimatedOuttakes, [[spoiler:Kanade Otonokoji, the true identity of the Phantomorph, actually gets on well with Porky Minch behind the scenes. For example, she treats fight sequences like the theatre, even actively guiding herself and her opponent through the steps. She even works in collaboration with Mettaton when she's offscreen]]. |
| 538 | * MeaningfulName: More like Meaningful ''Code''name for the subjects in the Website/SCPFoundation of Earth-V3: |
| 539 | ** Subject 8 ([[VideoGame/{{Omori}} Something]]) was numbered as such for two reasons: a spider has eight legs, and [[MythologyGag 1 + 4 + 3 = 8]]. |
| 540 | ** Subject 4 ([[Manga/ElfenLied Lucy]]) because FourIsDeath; bonus points for originating from Japanese media. |
| 541 | ** Subject 7 ([[VideoGame/PokemonSunAndMoon Nihilego]]) comes from the seventh generation of ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}''. |
| 542 | ** Subject 69 ([[Literature/HighSchoolDxD Raynare]]) attempts to avert the trope, unless [[Lol69 her ex-boyfriend Tony can explain otherwise]]. |
| 543 | * {{Meido}}: And [[CatGirl cat ones]] at that; this is the uniform for the La Soleil staff. |
| 544 | * MemorialForTheAntagonist: [[spoiler:The New Hope Warriors and their allies pay respects to Junko Enoshima towards the end of the final series.]] |
| 545 | * MidSeasonTwist: Series 4B involves [[spoiler:the Phantomorph becoming the ArcVillain and TrueFinalBoss of the entire series, with Porky undergoing severe CharacterDevelopment and realising what happened prior to and during the events of the seasons before this]]. |
| 546 | * MonsterOfTheWeek: A different threat is faced in each episode, though this trope is often zig-zagged given that the plot is nearly always [[HijackedByGanon Hijacked by Porky]]. [[spoiler:Fully averted in series 4B.]] |
| 547 | * MoodDissonance: In "Hope Breakout", Kokichi's "[[Series/TheLateShowWithStephenColbert alter egos]]" on La Soleil's television mix with Porky releasing [[Anime/Danganronpa3TheEndOfHopesPeakHighSchool Izuru Kamukura]] from containment and "[[VideoGame/HotlineMiami2WrongNumber Technoir]]" blaring in the background. |
| 548 | * {{Mooks}}: From low ranking to high ranking: |
| 549 | ** [[VideoGame/Mother3 Pigmasks]] are TheGoomba, a collection of idiotic henchmen who always get mowed over by at least one New Hope Warrior. (Mostly Jeff.) Their MookMobile is the Wild Boar. |
| 550 | ** From the ''TabletopGame/YuGiOh'' TradingCardGame, monster souls trapped in trading cards. There's more versions of them than the Robot Masters, each with varying attack, defence, power and abilities. The problem is that many are {{Bit Character}}s. |
| 551 | ** [[VideoGame/MegaManClassic Robot Masters]] and the occasional [[VideoGame/MegaManX Maverick Boss]] are a QuirkyMinibossSquad of EliteMooks, each with their own unique abilities. However, some abilities are weak to certain Robot Masters[[note]]the most JustForFun/{{egregious}} of which is the [[VideoGame/MegaMan2 Metal Blade]], which can OneHitKill Metal Man[[/note]]. |
| 552 | ** [[Series/DoctorWho Daleks]] are a HenchmenRace of {{Heavily Armored Mook}}s whose [[AttackItsWeakPoint weak spot]] is their [[GoForTheEye eyestalk]]. Otherwise they don't suffer much damage. There also exists a KingMook, the Supreme Dalek. Their MookMobile is the Crazy Bear. |
| 553 | ** The CloneArmy is a series of near-exact copies of the original characters that lack personality and utilise a PhotoshopFilterOfEvil. Brace yourself for at least one MirrorMatch. |
| 554 | * MoveAlongNothingToSeeHere: Said by Spaceboy after his [[Series/DoctorWho TARDIS]] makes an InadvertentEntranceCue. |
| 555 | * MsFanservice: The MonsterOfTheWeek for "Containment Breach", [[Literature/HighSchoolDxD Raynare]], has the most {{stripperiffic}} appearance in the series. |
| 556 | * MummyWrap: How [[VideoGame/MegaMan4 Pharaoh Man]] restrains those who disobey him. |
| 557 | * MyNameIsQuestionMarks: Unknown plot-relevant personnel are given the name "???" before their true name is revealed by either them or another character. |
| 558 | * MythologyGag: Now has its own folder. |
| 559 | * NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: Examples include the Death Anchor, the Night Thunder (ironically belonging to a [[DarkIsNotEvil New Hope Warrior]]), Springtrap, some ''TabletopGame/YuGiOh'' monsters, Genocide Jack, [[VideoGame/LobotomyCorporation the God Delusion]], and [[VideoGame/PokemonSwordAndShield Eternatus]]. |
| 560 | * TheNapoleon: Monokuma. Short height, short fuse (and not just literally). |
| 561 | * NarrativeProfanityFilter: "[[[Website/SCPFoundation EXPLETIVE DELETED]]]". |
| 562 | * ANaziByAnyOtherName: [[VideoGame/AkatsukiBlitzkampf Adler]], the ArcVillain of series 3, and his Elektrosoldat henchmen, are patriotic but aren't even German. They're Russian instead due to Adler's [[VideoGame/PapersPlease Kolechian]] upbringing. |
| 563 | * NeonCity: If the GISSyndrome is anything to go by. |
| 564 | * NephariousPharaoh: Pharaoh Man from ''VideoGame/MegaMan4''. |
| 565 | * NightmareSequence: Rias has one during which [[VideoGame/HotlineMiami Richard]] makes his only appearance in series 4. (This helps to reinforce the fact that Richard can mysteriously invade people's dreams.) In the nightmare, [[spoiler:Rias is motivated into destroying the Phantomorph, and Richard also clues her in on how Porky will need to get involved and how the Phantomorph will destroy the entire planet if she is let loose (the latter visually).]] |
| 566 | * NinjaProp: In [[VisualNovel/{{Nekopara}} "Neko Hell"]], then-MonsterOfTheWeek VideoGame/SonicEyx goes as far as to [[MindOverMatter telekinetically]] lift up and ''throw'' the (now-empty) text box at his targets, in order to fulfil his goals of destroying [[CosplayCafe La Soleil]] and [[CatGirl its inhabitants]]. |
| 567 | * NoManOfWomanBorn: A variant. [[spoiler:Porky concludes that no man can truly be the Phantomorph, because all Despair Robots can [[VoluntaryShapeshifting shapeshift]] and have no true identity, except him. The Phantomorph is later revealed to be a ''[[VisualNovel/SuperDanganronpaAnother2 woman]]'' who ''does'' have a true identity.]] |
| 568 | * NonIndicativeName: One of the founders, [=BadWolfMusic53=], rarely if ever makes any music.[[note]]Although he ''did'' contribute to the ''DarthWiki/CMCPlusBloopers'' soundtrack.[[/note]] |
| 569 | * NonSequiturThud: |
| 570 | ** Before Ibuki passes out due to a side effect of one of Jeff's dad's now-failed experiments, she shouts "[[Film/TheWizardOfOz The sum of the square roots of any two sides of an isosceles triangle is equal to the square root of the remaining side]]!" |
| 571 | ** Adler, of all people, has this to say on his first defeat: "[[UsefulNotes/AbrahamLincoln Four score and seven years ago...]]"[[labelnote:Explanation]]Part of the opening sentence of UsefulNotes/AbrahamLincoln's Gettysburg Address. Coming from a soldier who is [[ArtisticLicenseGeography not American]].[[/labelnote]] |
| 572 | * NotHisSled: Several home series plot twists are changed either partially or entirely. For example, Porky Minch, who does not use his ''VideoGame/Mother3'' appearance, has [[DarthWiki/CMCPlusBloopers an ancestor]] that does yet is rarely shown onscreen. |
| 573 | * {{Notzilla}}: [[spoiler:The Iron Minch, the FinalBoss of the first series, clearly looks like a giant beast and rampages the city in order to cause destruction, with its primary target being the New Hope Warriors. Its fireballs are spewed out of a cannon just near its mouth, and it even does a KingKongClimb to extend its range even further.]] {{Lampshade|Hanging}}d and later PlayedForLaughs when Jeff first sees it. |
| 574 | * NuclearOption: All Despair Robots except one were destroyed with a single nuclear weapon from Dr. Andonuts. |
| 575 | * TheNudifier: [[spoiler:Played for horror when, in the penultimate episode, [[Literature/HighSchoolDxD Issei]] uses Dress Break on Kanade, who has a SkeleBot9000 body, revealing herself to be a Despair Robot and therefore the true identity of the Phantomorph]]. |
| 576 | * NumberOfTheBeast: Porky's phone number starts with this and not FiveFiveFive. |
| 577 | * ObfuscatingDisability: |
| 578 | ** Subverted with Old Hope Warrior [[VideoGame/DanganronpaAnotherEpisodeUltraDespairGirls Monaca Towa]]. She used to fake her disability to make others feel sympathy for her, but after [[NoodleIncident an accident never shown in the lore]], she was ironically wheelchair-bound for the rest of her life up until her debut. |
| 579 | ** Played straight to some extent with [[VideoGame/HotlineMiami2WrongNumber Mark]] who, in Series 4, has the ReusedCharacterDesign of [[VideoGame/DanganronpaAnotherEpisodeUltraDespairGirls Haiji Towa]][[note]]who had his right arm crushed by a Monokuma unit and held in a sling[[/note]]. He ''looks'' like he has an injured arm, but it's said he can move it about just fine. He's actually faking weakness to try to increase his strength and even reveals he's actually left-handed. |
| 580 | * OncePerEpisode: Each episode features a ''Series/DoctorWho'' reference and a Rias Gremory EarlyBirdCameo. There's at least one of each. |
| 581 | * OneSteveLimit: Averted for [[Franchise/{{Danganronpa}} Celestia Ludenberg]] and [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic Princess Celestia]]. Lampshaded in "Nightmare Moon": |
| 582 | -->'''Sonic.exe:''' Infinite, Nightmare Moon, Celestia is arriving!\ |
| 583 | '''Nightmare Moon:''' What fun! Another poor soul for me to torture!\ |
| 584 | '''Infinite:''' Hang on. ''Which'' Celestia?\ |
| 585 | '''Sonic.exe:''' The goth! [[StormingTheCastle She's torn through all the guards]], [[MundaneMadeAwesome she's heading towards you, she's furious!]]\ |
| 586 | '''Infinite:''' [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking And I've won a fiver.]][[note]]He previously bet Nightmare Moon a fiver that no ponies would try to destroy him.[[/note]] [...] I guess they ''do'' have some differences. One can't even use magic, and look at me...! |
| 587 | * OperationBlank: Operation Iron Horse in series 3. |
| 588 | * OurMermaidsAreDifferent: The Mariana Trench is inhabited by a large mermaid-looking... [[EldritchAbomination thing]] called [[Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica Oktavia von Seckendorff]]. The New Hope Warriors falling in attracts her attention. |
| 589 | * OurSoulsAreDifferent: Porky's especially: [[spoiler:it is the cyber-converting Blitz Motor, fitting for a robotic character]]. |
| 590 | * OutSick: The AnimatedOuttakes for the third series reveals that Porky ''was'' going to appear in [[Franchise/{{Barbie}} "Nightmare House"]] had he not [[VomitDiscretionShot projectile vomited]] at the sight of Barbieland. |
| 591 | * OutsideGenreFoe: One episode takes place in [[Literature/IsItWrongToTryToPickUpGirlsInADungeon an underground dungeon]] that wouldn't look out of place in ''VideoGame/GenshinImpact'', and [[OurMinotaursAreDifferent a minotaur]] is the MonsterOfTheWeek. It still involves Daleks and Robot Masters. |
| 592 | * PageThreeStunna: While reading the [[FictionalDocument Super High School Level Newspaper]] in "Fun is Infinite", Jeff is excited that his group has made the front page. Miu, on the other hand, [[DistractedByTheSexy is interested in page four]], containing the first and currently only example of the trope in the paper. Doubles as ChekhovsNews, as it's a [[Literature/HighSchoolDxD Rias Gremory]] EarlyBirdCameo. |
| 593 | * ThePasswordIsAlwaysSwordfish: The password to get into Jeff's laptop computer is "[[CreatorCameo logbat99]]". |
| 594 | * PayingForTheActionScene: A FunnyBackgroundEvent in "It's Not Pharaoh". A few minutes after [[VideoGame/MegaMan4 Pharaoh Man]] bursts through the wall of the Egyptian museum, Mark hastily throws coins at a baffled person wearing a [[VideoGame/HotlineMiami Nigel mask]]. |
| 595 | * ThePeepingTom: Tony briefly becomes this in his first appearance. Infinite has to drag him out of it. |
| 596 | * PhotoshopFilterOfEvil: Around 80% of the CloneArmy are sprites of the regular characters with a negative filter. |
| 597 | * PineappleRuinsPizza: A SeinfeldianConversation between two Pigmasks in "Send In the Clones" involves what toppings should go on pizza. [[VideoGame/MegaMan11 Fuse Man]] beats up one of them when he says pineapple. |
| 598 | * PinkElephants: Referenced: one of the additional songs on the OST is a remix of "[[WesternAnimation/{{Dumbo}} Pink Elephants on Parade]]". |
| 599 | * PlayingGamesAtWork: In "The Assault of the Royal Knight", two Pigmasks get caught playing ''VideoGame/BlazBlueCrossTagBattle'' against each other. |
| 600 | * PleaseDontLeaveMe: [[spoiler:Junko's LastWords involve this; justified as she is scared of DyingAlone. Porky has to leave her, and explains alongside other things that WeAllDieSomeday -- except him, as he has CompleteImmortality.]] |
| 601 | * PluckyComicRelief: This is literally Sans' only role in the series. |
| 602 | * PokemonSpeak: The {{Trope Namer|s}} provides an aversion for once: every Pokémon both here and in ''DarthWiki/CMCPlusBloopers''[[note]][[GameplayAndStorySegregation in the latter's Arcade mode]], at least[[/note]] can properly talk by default. |
| 603 | * PoliceAreUseless: Zig-zagged with Fuyuhiko. He's a CowboyCop who has managed to arrest villains less times than they've escaped. |
| 604 | * PopCulturalOsmosisFailure: "Send in the Clones" reveals that Infinite doesn't know what a [[Literature/HarryPotter Slytherin]] is. And yet he retaliates when [[VisualNovel/DanganronpaV3KillingHarmony Himiko Yumeno]] calls him Snape... |
| 605 | ** The following episode continues the joke with him not knowing who Harry Potter even is. |
| 606 | * PosthumousCharacter: [[spoiler:Miu Iruma]] in later seasons. |
| 607 | * POVCam: Jeff and Porky each have one. Jeff's does nothing special, but Porky's is a RoboCam that mimics that of the Franchise/{{Terminator}}. |
| 608 | * PoweredArmor: Not entirely. [[spoiler:The appearance of the Iron Minch Mk. 2 is based on Issei's Red Deagon Emperor form (otherwise known as his Scale Mail armour) from ''Literature/HighSchoolDXD'', which is already this trope, but since it has been made larger and was converted to pure robotics, it is actually a HumongousMecha that ''resembles'' PoweredArmor.]] |
| 609 | * PowerGlows: When [[spoiler:the Phantomorph]] attacks, a bright red aura emerges. |
| 610 | * PreAsskickingOneLiner: |
| 611 | ** Jeff in "Tragedy of the Warriors": |
| 612 | --->'''Jeff:''' [[Characters/DanganronpaJunkoEnoshima She's]] a celebrity, [[Series/ImACelebrityGetMeOutOfHere get her out of here.]] |
| 613 | ** Porky in "Ultimate Annihilation": |
| 614 | --->'''Porky:''' To quote [[Characters/DanganronpaMonokuma a friend of mine]]: it's punishment time. ''[deploys [[spoiler:the second Iron Minch]]]''\ |
| 615 | '''[[spoiler:Kanade]]:''' [[spoiler:You're [[SirSwearsALot fucking]] kidding.]] |
| 616 | * PrecisionFStrike: Punctuated in Sonic.EYX's case with a ''Franchise/FiveNightsAtFreddys'' JumpScare sound effect. |
| 617 | ** Similarly, Tony of the Fans isn't afraid to blurt out "arse" in its uncensored form despite [[ScrewTheRulesIMakeThem profanity being covered with "[EXPLETIVE DELETED]" almost everywhere else]]. |
| 618 | * ProfanityPolice: Jeff towards Miu and Infinite towards Sonic.EYX (of course, the latter is rarer). |
| 619 | * PsychoPink: [[spoiler:Kanade has pink hair and is [[{{Understatement}} rather mentally unstable]].]] |
| 620 | * ThePsychoRangers: Neo Ultimate Despair in general; a direct opposite to the New Hope Warriors formed by Porky Minch himself. Every member is the opposite of a New Hope Warrior (e.g. Sonic.exe for Sonic, Infinite for Celeste, and Sans for Tsumugi). |
| 621 | * PsychoShowerMurderParody: Parodied in TheTeaser for [[VisualNovel/{{Nekopara}} "Neko Hell"]]. Something (as Something in the Dark) tries to do this on [[VisualNovel/DanganronpaTriggerHappyHavoc Sayaka Maizono]] (who was told to check the shower for blockages) under the guidance of Richard[[note]]FridgeBrilliance kicks in when you've seen the original game and realise that Richard has the body of Leon Kuwata by default[[/note]], but fails when one of his hands gets stuck in the drain. |
| 622 | * RainbowSpeak: In dialogue, key plot elements are in bold yellow text, certain exclamations are in red, speech from the InteractiveNarrator is green, and characters' thoughts are blue. |
| 623 | * RealMenWearPink: Defied. Corey buys Tony a [[Franchise/{{Barbie}} pink car]] for AprilFoolsDay. Tony simply kicks it aside, having no use for it. It becomes a RunningGag later. |
| 624 | * RealPlaceBackground: One background that [[WhatCouldHaveBeen got itself cancelled]] but [[DummiedOut is in the Google Drive folder]] is a digitally modified photo of Bank Top in Blackburn. |
| 625 | * RearrangeTheSong: |
| 626 | ** During development of the first series, [=BadWolfMusic53=] found [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_aJt5SLjBvc a remix]] of Music/DaftPunk's "The Prime Time of Your Life" that removes the NightmareFuel to create a heavy-hitting electronic soundtrack. Given the themes of the song, this is the {{Leitmotif}} of Porky[[note]]series 1 only[[/note]] and Monokuma[[note]]series 2-4 only[[/note]] and is the only version of the song to appear in the series. |
| 627 | ** Series 3 saw a change in the {{jingle}} for [[KentBrockmanNews Super High School Level News]]. For the first three seasons, logbat99 was oblivious to ''Series/BigBrother UK'''s revival in late 2023 and used an old version of its ThemeTune. Late into the story, he found the mistake and changed the audio file in all subsequent SHSL News broadcasts to the version of the ThemeTune used in the revival series.[[note]]That doesn't mean the full version of the old version is not used elsewhere, however.[[/note]] |
| 628 | * RecordNeedleScratch: Used in [[VideoGame/AmandaTheAdventurer "Andonuts the Adventurer"]] when the embrace between Monika and Sayori is interrupted by [[{{Jerkass}} Byakuya]]. |
| 629 | ** And again at one point in series 4A when [[EvenEvilHasStandards Infinite]] interrupts an AlmostKiss between [[VisualNovel/{{Nekopara}} Cinnamon and Maple]]. |
| 630 | * RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver: The color scheme of Porky's shirt. |
| 631 | * RedEyesTakeWarning: The second half of "Origins of the Despair Robots" features [[spoiler:the Phantomorph]] sporting glowing red eyes [[spoiler:after her [[Literature/HighSchoolDxD Issei Hyoudou]] disguise wears off. This is similar to Unas' possession of Issei, which the scene is taken directly from]]. |
| 632 | * RedIsHeroic: The main protagonist Jeff's machine is the Red Gazelle. |
| 633 | * RedIsViolent: |
| 634 | ** Porky Minch wears a {{red and black|AndEvilAllOver}} shirt, and he is viewed as a physical embodiment of violence and despair. |
| 635 | ** By default, the Captain Spaceboy clones do not have a PhotoshopFilterOfEvil and are instead locked into the Furious state, which turns the entire sprite red. Fitting for clones of a character who likes to go all-out a lot. |
| 636 | ** [[spoiler:The crimson-coloured second Iron Minch is ''way'' more agressive and destructive than the black-coloured first one.]] |
| 637 | * RedOnesGoFaster: It's said that Jeff's Red Gazelle is the New Hope Warriors' fastest machine. [[MythologyGag The Gazelle has an A boost in its home series.]] |
| 638 | * RedOniBlueOni: |
| 639 | ** On the good side, Miu is the Red to Celeste's Blue. |
| 640 | ** On the evil side, Porky is the Red to Junko's Blue. |
| 641 | ** [[InvertedTrope Despite their colour schemes]], Infinite is the Blue to Sonic.exe's Red. This means that the colours of their machines determine their Onis. |
| 642 | ** In series 4, [[spoiler:Porky becomes the Blue to Kanade's Red]]. |
| 643 | * ResurrectiveImmortality: Porky can come back to life every time he is brutally injured. |
| 644 | * ReusedCharacterDesign: Played with. The ''VideoGame/HotlineMiami'' representatives (Richard, [[VideoGame/HotlineMiami2WrongNumber the Fans]], and some [[TheCameo background extras]]) all use the bodies of already-existing characters[[note]]mainly the ''Franchise/{{Danganronpa}}'' series, including FanWorks[[/note]] while still wearing their respective masks. |
| 645 | * RhymesOnADime: Sans blurts out this in "The Assault of the Royal Knight", which doubles as a ShoutOut to an UsefulNotes/AssociationFootball CrowdChant: "YourMom's your dad, your dad's your mum, you're interbred, you ''VideoGame/{{Fortnite}}'' [[TakeThat scum]]!" |
| 646 | * RoboCam: Porky has one akin to the Franchise/{{Terminator}}, making him one of the few characters in the series with a POVCam. |
| 647 | * RoboticReveal: [[spoiler:[[Literature/HighSchoolDxD Issei]] at one point uses [[TheNudifier Dress Break]] on Kanade, a Despair Robot like Porky. It's not just clothing that is torn off, but ''skin'' as well.]] |
| 648 | * RoguesGallery: A large number of villains have been faced over the series. So far, we've had [[Anime/DragonBallZ Frieza]], [[Franchise/FiveNightsAtFreddys Springtrap]], [[VideoGame/FiveNightsAtFreddysSecurityBreach Vanny]], [[VideoGame/{{Omori}} Something]], [[WebAnimation/{{RWBY}} Neo Politan]], [[Anime/Danganronpa3TheEndOfHopesPeakHighSchool Seiko Kimura]], [[VideoGame/HotlineMiami2WrongNumber the Fans]], VideoGame/SonicEyx, [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic Nightmare Moon]], [[VideoGame/Mother3 the Masked Man]], [[Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica Oktavia von Seckendorff]], [[VideoGame/AkatsukiBlitzkampf Adler, Inazuma]], [[Franchise/BlazBlue Susano'o, Arakune]], [[Anime/DragonBallSuper Jiren]], [[VideoGame/PokemonSwordAndShield Eternatus]], [[Characters/DigimonRoyalKnights Gallantmon]], [[Literature/HighSchoolDxD Raynare]], [[VideoGame/MegaMan4 Pharaoh Man]], [[VideoGame/PokemonSunAndMoon Nihilego]], and potentially ''much'' more. |
| 649 | * Room101: The {{Trope Namer|s}} [[Literature/NineteenEightyFour is referenced]]: [[spoiler:the Phantomorph was apparently put in there when she first wreaked havoc, and she literally lived out their own nightmares. [[GoneHorriblyWrong This didn't work and she joined forces with the nightmares.]]]] |
| 650 | * RunningGag: Several: |
| 651 | ** The [[VideoGame/MarioKartTour London double-decker bus]] being lampshaded. |
| 652 | ** Porky slipping and {{Face Plant}}ing when trying to safely get out of his Black Bull. He really needs to install a ladder into the cockpit. |
| 653 | ** Any time Porky has to confirm regarding Junko that SheIsNotMyGirlfriend. |
| 654 | ** Someone (usually Porky) gets JustForFun/{{rickroll}}ed once every few episodes. |
| 655 | ** The [[WebVideo/DragonBallZAbridged Sans Pun Count]]. |
| 656 | ** The HonkingArrivingCar from ''Theatre/PeterPanGoesWrong'' showing up in the most improbable of places. [[ConvectionSchmonvection Including in a volcano.]] |

| 660 | ** After his short stint in assisting [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic Nightmare Moon]] in her titular episode, Infinite is repeatedly called a brony by Sonic.exe across several other episodes. |
| 661 | ** "Authorised exceptions" to the "''Franchise/SuperMarioBros'' is banned" rule. |
| 662 | ** The [[Franchise/{{Barbie}} pink car]] Corey bought Tony as an {{April Fool|sDay}} is frequently brought up, usually with a negative exclamation from Tony himself. |
| 663 | ** One of the few jokes carried over from the source material is [[VisualNovel/Danganronpa2GoodbyeDespair Teruteru Hanamura]] shouting out celebrities' names when in distress. |
| 664 | ** [[spoiler:The GrandFinale has a unique one: '''[[Literature/HighSchoolDxD BOOST!]]''' and Porky's inability to turn the sound off. At one point he starts complaining about [[BreakingTheFourthWall the sound engineer]].]] |
| 665 | ** Series 4's AnimattedOuttakes: comparing [[spoiler:the Iron Minch Mk. 2]] to a Franchise/{{Gundam}}. |
| 666 | ** The series' [[AllThereInTheManual official bios]] misspelling the first word of [[Franchise/{{Pokemon}} Wailord]]-- [[SelfDemonstratingArticle err]], [[VideoGame/GenshinImpact Wangsheng Funeral Parlor]] before correcting themself. |
| 667 | * RussianReversal: Mainly in the third series. |
| 668 | ** The VisualPun when [[VideoGame/PizzaTower Pepperman]] takes a bite out of one of the Russian soldiers called Elektrosoldats. [[DontExplainTheJoke In Soviet Russia, food eats you.]] |
| 669 | ** There's also one which is proven during series 3's Operation Iron Horse military project: [[spoiler:In Japan, you pilot tank. In Soviet Russia, tank pilots you.]] |
| 670 | ** The first line of the description of "Expect the Unexpected" is "In Soviet Russia, one of the last episodes of ''Corrupt Crossover'' [[ParanoiaFuel watches you]]." |
| 671 | [[/folder]] |
| 672 | |
| 673 | [[folder:S-Z]] |
| 674 | * SailorEarth: [[spoiler:Simultaneously zig-zagged and downplayed with the Phantomorph. She is a Despair Robot like Porky, but is a ShapeshiftingTrickster, turns against Porky himself, and [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking only appears in series 4B]]]]. |
| 675 | * {{Sampling}}: Original song [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JZpAp72lQb4 "Future Occult"]] samples radio messages within space shuttles, notably Neil Armstrong's famous "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xSdHina-fTk one small step for man]]" statement. |
| 676 | * SamusIsAGirl: Downplayed. It's already been hinted at in her first appearance, but [[spoiler:the Phantomorph is actually a female entity despite also being a VoluntaryShapeshifter. This is exemplified when [[VisualNovel/SuperDanganronpaAnother2 Mikado Sannoji]], who is male, is one of the suspects and Jeff is obviously incorrect, and not just because Despair Robots don't bleed.]] |
| 677 | * ScreamsLikeALittleGirl: The minute Tony sees [[spoiler:Blitztank]]. It sounds ''exactly'' like the zombie in the infamous Advertising/KFee ScreamerPrank commercials. (Minus the SensoryAbuse, of course.) |
| 678 | * SchizoTech: One of the focuses of [[Literature/IsItWrongToTryToPickUpGirlsInADungeon "Labyrinth of the Minotaur"]]. Daleks would most likely not be found in a fantasy dungeon. |
| 679 | * SeaMonster: [[Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica Oktavia von Seckendorff]]. |
| 680 | * SelfDeprecation: |
| 681 | ** Some [[TheTeaser cold opens]] present logbat99 and [=BadWolfMusic53=] ([[DontExplainTheJoke the creators of the series]]) as the butt of jokes about [[DreadfulMusician their inability to DJ properly]], which was inspired by Colin Sell from ''Radio/ImSorryIHaventAClue''. |
| 682 | ** [[spoiler:The Iron Minch(es)]] and [[spoiler:the Phantomorph]] are, [[WordOfGod according to a Discord thread]], the physical embodiments of logbat99's inability to create {{Original Character}}s. |
| 683 | * SevenDeadlySins: With the possible exception of Gluttony, Porky contains all of them (wrath all the time, sloth as he sometimes brings in his minions to do the dirty work for him, lust... just a bit, mainly towards Junko, etc). He's even an embodiment of the eighth sin in Orthodox Christianity: [[ArcWords Despair]]. |
| 684 | * ShapeshiftingTrickster: [[spoiler:The Phantomorph.]] |
| 685 | * SheIsNotMyGirlfriend: Porky has to confirm this if anyone asks this to him about Junko. Every. Single. Time. |
| 686 | * ShoutOut: Has its own folder. |
| 687 | * ShowWithinAShow: ''[[VideoGame/{{Omori}} Sweetheart's Quest for Hearts]]''. It's so unpopular in-universe, it's frequently [[WeInterruptThisProgram stormed]] by the ''Corrupt Crossover'' cast because [[WesternAnimation/TheSecretShow the timeslot is needed]], much to Sweetheart's annoyance. |
| 688 | * SidelinedProtagonistCrossover: In order for the lore to properly fit, several characters were cut from their home games. For example: |
| 689 | ** ''VideoGame/AkatsukiBlitzkampf'': Adler and his clones, the Elektrosoldats, are the {{Arc Villain}}s of the third series. The game's protagonist, Akatsuki, doesn't appear. |
| 690 | ** ''Franchise/{{Danganronpa}}'': Despite the large number of characters, especially the MascotVillain, series protagonist Makoto Naegi is absent. |
| 691 | ** ''VideoGame/{{EarthBound|1994}}'': Jeff is the central character and Porky is the main antagonist, but main protagonist Ness is missing. |
| 692 | ** ''Literature/HighSchoolDXD'': Poster girl Rias Gremory is a supporting cast member. Downplayed in this case; Issei is DemotedToExtra. |
| 693 | ** ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'': Multiple Pokémon appear as cameos across the series. None of them are Pikachu. |
| 694 | ** ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark'': Kenny is the only one of the four boys who appears the most in episodes. |
| 695 | ** ''Franchise/YuGiOh'': Although there are several {{Bit Character}}s in the form of monsters from the TradingCardGame, series protagonist Yami Yugi is absent. |
| 696 | * SingleTear: [[spoiler:Porky sheds one when he first [[GraveMarkingScene visits Junko's grave]].]] |
| 697 | * SirCameosALot: Rias Gremory pre-series 4; in each episode she provides at least one EarlyBirdCameo. |
| 698 | * SirSwearsALot: [[spoiler:The Phantomorph]] is the biggest example and swears the most out of the cast. [[spoiler:The swears are also uncensored, presumably to take the series taking a DarkerAndEdgier turn.]] |
| 699 | * SkewedPriorities: Near the end of the first series... |
| 700 | -->'''Miu:''' [[Recap/DoctorWhoS33E4ThePowerOfThree There are Pigmasks all over the base]], and I'm [[FullyClothedNudity in my swimsuit]]! |
| 701 | * SkullForAHead: [[spoiler:Blitztank]] has one, but it's not a human skull. It's actually a version of [[VideoGame/{{Terraria}} Skeletron Prime]], a.k.a. Subject 9, that was ''not'' part of an attempt to revive Franchise/{{Cthulhu|Mythos}}. |
| 702 | * TheSlacker: Sans does little to nothing to help the villains, instead just lounging around doing absolutely nothing, portraying himself as strong when he's actually a [[{{Pun}} lazybones]]. |
| 703 | * SleepsInTheNude: A {{Gag Censor}}ed example with Rias, for reasons never explained (presumably the same as her source material). [[VideoGame/HotlineMiami Richard]], who appears in her NightmareSequence, [[NotDistractedByTheSexy is strangely unfazed]]. |
| 704 | * SmallReferencePools: {{Subverted|Trope}} given [[MassiveMultiplayerCrossover the theme of the series]]. |
| 705 | * SmugSnake: Adler. |
| 706 | * SoleSurvivor: Porky Minch, of the Despair Robots. [[spoiler:[[ShapeshiftingTrickster Or so it seems]]...]] |
| 707 | * SoundtrackDissonance: For a few minutes in the climax of [[VideoGame/PapersPlease "Death to Arstotzka"]], Ibuki's Fire Stingray's InUniverseSoundtrack is not Music/BabyMetal but ''[[Franchise/LoveLive Snow]] [[Music/SiIvaGunner halation]]''. |
| 708 | * SouthpawAdvantage: After Mark ([[ObfuscatingDisability seemingly]]) gets his right arm injured in series 4, he reveals to the rest of the Fans that he's really left-handed, meaning he can still fire at least one of his two [=MP5s=] just fine. |
| 709 | * SparedByTheAdaptation: Everyone has apparently survived their source material. Or, if they've been KilledOffForReal in their source series, they have been resurrected for reasons never explained. A notable example is [[VideoGame/{{Omori}} Mari]] being fully alive and well at the cost of being DemotedToExtra in "There's Something Behind You". |
| 710 | * SpeakOfTheDevil: Twice Porky calls [[Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica Homura Akemi]] a WitchWithACapitalB, and on both occasions [[spoiler:Walpurgisnacht]] appears. |
| 711 | * TheSpeechless: When VideoGame/SonicEyx attempts to speak, all that comes out is VaderBreath, which is translated by [[TranslatorBuddy Infinite]]. |
| 712 | * SpellMyNameWithAThe: The first few times [[spoiler:Blitztank]] is mentioned in series 3, he is referred to as "''the'' [[spoiler:Blitztank]]". |
| 713 | * SpiderLimbs: Despair Robots have these on their backs. |
| 714 | * SpidersAreScary: According to most of the cast, thanks to Something. For example: |
| 715 | -->'''[[VisualNovel/DanganronpaV3KillingHarmony Tenko Chabashira]]:''' ''[to Tony]'' You degenerate little--! ''[[[GiantSpider Something in the Walls]] drops down]'' AIEEE!!\ |
| 716 | '''Something:''' Have I missed anything...?\ |
| 717 | '''Tenko:''' GET AWAY FROM ME, YOU FREAK! |
| 718 | * SpitTake: Celeste does this the very first time Junko Enoshima is mentioned. By [[TheWatson Tsumugi Shirogane]], no less. Seems like she's clearly got some memory of her. |
| 719 | * SpoilerTitle: "Rise of [[spoiler:the Iron Minch]]" spoils the FinalBoss of the first series. |
| 720 | * SpotlightStealingCrossover: The series likes using ''Franchise/{{Danganronpa}}'' characters and ''VideoGame/FZero'' machines more than any other. In series 4, ''Literature/HighSchoolDXD'' also becomes an example. |
| 721 | * StealthPun: In "Witch Hunt", it takes ''eight'' hits from Jeff's dad's submarine to cause Oktavia to admit defeat [[spoiler:and reveal herself as the DiscOneFinalBoss]]. |
| 722 | * StockJokes: |
| 723 | ** Subverted in "The Assault of the Royal Knight": |
| 724 | -->'''[[VideoGame/MegaMan9 Plug Man]]:''' Hey, who was that lady I saw you with last night?\ |
| 725 | '''Pigmask:''' That was no lady, that was YourMom!\ |
| 726 | ''[overlay of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jQOQ3RBKvbE this clip]]]''\ |
| 727 | '''Dalek:''' [[AC:[[NoSenseOfHumor Does not compute.]]]] |
| 728 | ** The "bar joke" is alluded to in "Ultimate Annihilation", [[MoodDissonance just before]] one of many {{Final Battle}}s: |
| 729 | -->'''[[spoiler:Kanade]]:''' Well, look at this lineup! A nerd, a hedgehog, a fashion model and a [[spoiler:rogue]] Despair Robot.\ |
| 730 | '''Pigmask:''' ...walk into a bar...\ |
| 731 | ''[everyone but Porky and [[spoiler:Kanade]] starts laughing]''\ |
| 732 | '''[[spoiler:Kanade]]:''' They're weird.\ |
| 733 | '''Porky:''' [[StrangeMindsThinkAlike Tell me about it.]] |
| 734 | * StockScream: The Wilhelm scream happens at least OncePerEpisode. There has also been at least one use of the Howie Long scream. |
| 735 | * StockSoundEffects: Other stock sounds include gunshots, laser beams, StuffBlowingUp, cars racing across, and more. |
| 736 | * StuffBlowingUp: Many of the villains like doing this, especially [[VideoGame/MegaMan1 Bomb Man]]. |
| 737 | * SturgeonsLaw: 95% of Junko's predictions as the Ultimate Analyst are useless. (The other 5% is [[spoiler:Blitztank]].) |
| 738 | * StylisticSuck: There is very little fluid animation due to the {{visual novel}} style, more often than not resulting in a BattleOfTheStillFrames, with the only properly-animated portions being the title sequence, credits, and FreezeFrameIntroduction of characters. This is actually unintentional given logbat99's lack of professionality. |
| 739 | * SuccubiAndIncubi: Porky remembers firing at least one succubus from his organisation. [[spoiler:FridgeHorror: succubi are sometimes portrayed as {{Voluntary Shapeshifter}}s. Could that have been the Phantomorph? We're never told.]] |
| 740 | * SuperWindowJump: The first time Inazuma from ''EN-Eins Perfektewelt Anastasis'' appears in [[VideoGame/PapersPlease "Death to Arstotzka"]], he bursts through the train window. |
| 741 | * SurprisinglyCreepyMoment: The final series. 4A consists of regular episodes, lighthearted and comical as they are. And then the plot takes an unexpected turn in 4B with [[spoiler:the Phantomorph]], despite the LightmareFuel. |
| 742 | * SuspectExistenceFailure: In order to find out who [[spoiler:the Phantomorph]] is, Monika downplays this trope by badly injuring [[VisualNovel/SuperDanganronpaAnother2 Mikado Sannoji]] with her own glitches. It's only when Jeff realises [[spoiler:Despair Robots don't bleed]], thus proving Mikado's innocence, that the two don't believe he's [[spoiler:the Phantomorph]]. Technically, however, [[spoiler:it's the right game, just the wrong character]]. |
| 743 | * SwiperNoSwiping: The part in Series 4B when Rias tells [[spoiler:Porky]] to finally stop attacking her; both of them have a common goal ([[spoiler:destroy the Phantomorph]]) and she doesn't want him to form an additional blockade. [[spoiler:Porky, being Porky, [[DefiedTrope ignores this request]].]] |
| 744 | * TakeThat: |
| 745 | ** Both creators have their own personal dislikes that are insulted regularly. |
| 746 | *** logbat99 ''really'' doesn't like ''VideoGame/{{Fortnite}}'' and jabs at it here, there and everywhere. For example, the Fans kill Jonesy and the other Rangers in their own Battle Bus (complete with [[StockScream Wilhelm scream]]) only because the Fans believe the Rangers suck. Then he crashes the Battle Bus. |
| 747 | ---->'''Tony:''' [[https://fortnite.fandom.com/wiki/Renegade_Raider Renegade Raider]] my backside! [[GetOut Get outta here!]] |
| 748 | *** [=BadWolfMusic53=], who wrote the story for [[VideoGame/{{Terraria}} "Lord of the Moon"]], and dislikes the ''Franchise/SuperMarioBros'' franchise so much that he banned it in the series (vehicles and music are [[RunningGag authorised exceptions]]), insults ''[[VideoGame/SuperMarioBrosWonder Wonder]]'' without mentioning it by name by having Kokichi call it "that useless 2D platformer released on the creator's birthday with Film/{{the elephant man}}." |
| 749 | ** "Nightmare Moon" is [[{{Understatement}} a large one]] to ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'', which was an unexpected series to be included both in and out of universe. As shown in the episode's cold open, [=BWM53=] bet logbat99 a month's Discord Nitro that the series wouldn't include it, and let's just say he still wants his Nitro. |
| 750 | ** To ''Film/Barbie2023'' when, in the AnimatedOuttakes for the third series, Porky gets a VomitDiscretionShot the first time he sees Barbieland. |
| 751 | ** To ''VideoGame/{{Minecraft}}'' when Porky wanders through the wrong portal in "Black Hole Bombed" and tells the team "[[VideoGame/EarthBound1994 This game stinks.]]" |
| 752 | ** One during Series 4B in which the in-universe audience supplies the punchline. |
| 753 | --->'''Kokichi:''' Small ''VideoGame/{{Minecraft}}'' and ''Franchise/{{Injustice}}'' [=YouTuber=] [[Series/TheLateShowWithStephenColbert and]]-- ''[[[StockSoundEffects stock booing]]]'' ...and [[SarcasmMode crowd favourite]] [[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCLIjr8nkJkQ3mmE2-XjWsDQ MrCrazyDerp]]... |
| 754 | * TalkingWithSigns: Neo does this to communicate, similar to her appearance in ''WebAnimation/RWBYChibi''. |
| 755 | * TamerAndChaster: ''Everything'' involving the ''Literature/HighSchoolDXD'' representatives [[EarlyBirdCameo mostly]] introduced in series 4. The large amounts of blatant {{fanservice}} had to be toned down significantly to reach the series' standards. |
| 756 | * TankGoodness: [[VideoGame/AkatsukiBlitzkampf Blitztank]], playable in ''[[FictionalVideoGame Monsters vs. Robots]]'', is a SapientTank that has a whole load of weapons inside it. [[spoiler:It is also the FinalBoss of series 3, being the result of Operation Iron Horse.]] |
| 757 | * TechnoDystopia: On Earth-V3, the major city is constantly taken over by the Despair Robot(s), more often than not resulting in the New Hope Warriors taking them down. Even when there's [[LastOfHisKind only one left]]. [[spoiler:Maybe two.]] |
| 758 | * TechnologicallyAdvancedFoe: Porky Minch, the LastOfHisKind. He is a savage, near-indestructible machine with all kinds of tricks and traps in his artillery. [[spoiler:The Phantomorph of the same species has an additional VoluntaryShapeshifting ability.]] |
| 759 | * TechnologyPorn: The [[WhereTheHellIsSpringfield unnamed]] main city and nearly everything around it. |
| 760 | * TeethClenchedTeamwork: [[spoiler:When the Phantomorph wreaks havoc on the world, Porky Minch is forced to side with Jeff Andonuts on the grounds that they are both Despair Robots who see each other as the true last, making Porky ''de facto'' the TokenHeroicOrc of series 4B.]] |
| 761 | * TemptingFate: A lot, but here are some moments that stand out: |
| 762 | ** "A Battle Lost and Won", the series 1 finale, features a scene referencing the ''Series/DoctorWho'' episode [[Recap/DoctorWhoS28E8TheImpossiblePlanet "The Impossible Planet"]] that follows a loud rumbling in the Falcon Flyer. One-time ally [[VisualNovel/Danganronpa2GoodbyeDespair Monomi]] quips "Oh, well, that wasn't so bad" -- resulting in [[spoiler:the Iron Minch]] [[BarrierBustingBlow bursting through the floor]]. It's strange because the Flyer is BiggerOnTheInside. |
| 763 | ** Midway through "Dangerous Diclonius", Jimmy gives the statement that he's able to examine Lucy by himself with no obstacles. Then [[VideoGame/AkatsukiBlitzkampf Blitztank]] ([[spoiler:no, not [[FinalBoss that one]]]]) rams him into oblivion. Later in the same episode, Jimmy rears up to destroy the New Hope Warriors... and [[BrickJoke Blitztank goes berserk and gets him again.]] |
| 764 | ** In [[VideoGame/PokemonSunAndMoon "Symbiont of Supremacy"]], when the New Hope Warriors are flung into Ultra Space: |
| 765 | --->'''Byakuya:''' Seriously, though, it’s not like a [[BuffySpeak giant jellyfish thing]] is going to come out of nowhere and try to destroy us-- ''[Nihilego appears]'' [[OhCrap MY GOSH!!]] |
| 766 | ** And then [[VideoGame/PapersPlease one episode later]] on the train to Japan: |
| 767 | --->'''Byakuya:''' What are [[VideoGame/MegaManClassic you]] expecting anyway, one of our old foes appearing and trying to kill us as everyone does these days? That's almost as dumb as-- ''[[[spoiler:[[VideoGame/AkatsukiBlitzkampf Adler]] from Series 3]] bursts into the train carriage]'' [[YouHaveGotToBeKiddingMe ARE YOU KIDDING ME]], [[BrickJoke THE SAME THING]]?! |
| 768 | ** While on the roof of the House of Gremory in "Devilish Secrets", Porky's BadassBoast to Rias includes the fact that her devil powers do nothing to him, given that he is near-invulnerable. Therefore, this technically means that she cannot mortally wound him. Cue a Power of Destruction from Rias and an OhCrap from Porky. |
| 769 | * TerminatorImpersonator: Both the Terminator and Porky Minch are {{Killer Robot}}s, look human outside but are cybernetic inside, show robotic innards when a lot of damage is taken, can repair themselves, go GunsAkimbo a lot, have a German accent (Porky's is brief as his CPU is dodgy), and have a large vehicle. Porky is not actually large, though, and still shows some hints of pain, remorse and fear. |
| 770 | * TerribleTrio: The three animal villains: Infinite, Monokuma, and Sonic.exe. |
| 771 | * ThatsWhatSheSaid: Miu Iruma is ''physically incapable'' of resisting an opportunity to use this joke. [[spoiler:Even right before her death.]] |
| 772 | ** Defied in one episode where Jeff threatens to [[TalkToTheFist punch Miu in the face]] should she respond with this to his comment of "[[Film/{{Inception}} we have to go deeper]]". |
| 773 | ** In the series finale, Miu Iruma [[GratuitousGerman says it in German]]. [[EpicFail To a Despair Robot who can understand German.]] |
| 774 | ** After Miu's absence, Tony tries to take up the joke in his EstablishingCharacterMoment. It doesn't work. |
| 775 | ** Defied again in [[WebOriginal/{{Trollge}} "We Do a Little Trolling"]], before the team travels to New York: |
| 776 | --->'''Byakuya:''' Jeff, I think the multitude of blaster guns should be toned down. Way too big to fit in there.\ |
| 777 | '''Jeff:''' Yeah, that's what [[Characters/DanganronpaCelestiaLudenberg she]] said.\ |
| 778 | '''Byakuya:''' Jeff! You're going rogue!\ |
| 779 | '''Jeff:''' No, [[ImaginedInnuendo she really did say that.]]\ |
| 780 | '''Celeste:''' ''[walks in]'' Didn't I tell you already that's way too many blaster guns to fit in there?\ |
| 781 | '''Byakuya:''' Oh God, I feel a right idiot now. |
| 782 | ** The "said the actress to the bishop" variant is used by [[spoiler:Porky Minch]], [[OutOfCharacterMoment of all people]], in [[GrandFinale "Last of the Despair Robots"]] in response to Jeff saying "there's no way all that stuff is going to fit in [the Falcon Flyer]" (also a CallBack to "We Do a Little Trolling"). |
| 783 | * TheyKilledKennyAgain: Near the end of the third series, the {{Trope Namer|s}} is killed by [[spoiler:Blitztank's DisintegratorRay]]. Complete with the ObligatoryJoke: |
| 784 | -->'''Stan:''' Oh, my God! They killed Kenny!\ |
| 785 | '''Cartman:''' And [[spoiler:half the [=PizzaPlex=]]] with him!\ |
| 786 | '''Kyle:''' YouBastard |
| 787 | * ThirteenIsUnlucky: |
| 788 | ** Monokuma's [[VideoGame/FZero Death Anchor]] [[{{Pun}} bears]] the number 13. |
| 789 | ** [[Manga/ElfenLied Lucy]]'s non-Website/{{SCP|Foundation}} code name is "Diclonius [[YouAreNumberSix Thirteen]]". |
| 790 | ** In total, there are 13 episodes in Series 4. |
| 791 | * TokenEvilTeammate: Byakuya Togami is the only one of the team to commit an evil act: he once tampered with a crime scene. |
| 792 | * TokenHeroicOrc: [[spoiler:Porky Minch, on the grounds that the ''other'' survivor of his species is terrorising the world.]] |
| 793 | * TomTheDarkLord: Which crosses over into FluffyTheTerrible territory. The main antagonist of the entire fanfic and the ObviouslyEvil [[LastOfHisKind last of the Despair Robots]] is called... Porky. |
| 794 | * TonightSomeoneDies: "A Battle Lost and Won" has this in the video description: "JustForFun/{{The one w|ith}}here a New Hope Warrior dies, [[TrollingCreator but I'm not specifying which one yet]]." |
| 795 | * TrailersAlwaysSpoil: At the end of the series 3 trailer, the WalkingSpoiler FinalBoss makes an appearance in a FreezeFrameBonus. |
| 796 | * TranslatorBuddy: Only Infinite can understand and translate what Sonic.EYX is saying. |
| 797 | * {{Troperiffic}}: So many tropes that they had to span at least four folders on this page. That said, it's most likely not the largest number of tropes in an DarthWiki/{{unpublished work|s}}. |
| 798 | * TwistedChristmas: The ChristmasEpisode, "How the Minch Stole Christmas". |
| 799 | * TwoWordsAddedEmphasis: A variant in "Ultimate Annihilation". Porky tells Rias that he can change her life with three simple words. Rias suggests they are "I love you", much to Porky's disgust. It's only when [[spoiler:Porky throws a candle at a puddle of liquid petroleum resulting in StuffBlowingUp]] that the words are revealed to be "[[MacrossMissileMassacre fire at will]]". |
| 800 | * TyopOnTheCover: The EpisodeTitleCard for "Dangerous Diclonius" is missing the second "i". |
| 801 | * UncomfortableElevatorMoment: In [[VideoGame/FiveNightsAtFreddysSecurityBreach "Shatter in the PizzaPlex"]], Sonic.exe and Infinite are involved in this on the route to Springtrap. The former does ''not'' take this seriously and keeps asking "AreWeThereYet" |
| 802 | * UnderwaterBossBattle: Non-video game example in "Witch Hunt" against [[Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica Oktavia von Seckendorff]], with Jeff having to use his dad's old submarine to fight against her. |
| 803 | * UnexpectedCharacter: In-universe: |
| 804 | ** To start, the ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' representatives. Not even Sonic.exe could believe Infinite was teaming up with a villain from a series targeted primarily at young girls ([[PeripheryDemographic and the odd brony]]). |
| 805 | ** Speaking of ''My Little Pony'', Jeff reacts to Doctor Hooves with [[YouHaveGotToBeKiddingMe utter disgust]]. [[Series/DoctorWho Three guesses why, and the first two don't count.]] |
| 806 | ** Rias Gremory of ''Literature/HighSchoolDXD'' fame prompts a [[YouHaveGotToBeKiddingMe similar reaction]] from Infinite. |
| 807 | * UnholyMatrimony: Subverted. Although Junko shows her lovestruck side when around Porky, he constantly tries to explain they're just partners in crime, [[SheIsNotMyGirlfriend and not in love with each other at all]]. |
| 808 | * UnresolvedSexualTension: Played with on Junko's side. She thinks Porky is interested in her; turns out it's only partially, and he just wants assistance in his plots to destroy the world. Porky even protests that SheIsNotMyGirlfriend. |
| 809 | * TheUnReveal: Near the end of "The Alliance of Literature/HaruhiSuzumiya", Sonic.exe is about to explain that Haruhi is a RealityWarper ''in front of Haruhi herself'', only for [[VisualNovel/DanganronpaAnother Yuki Maeda]] wearing a [[VideoGame/HotlineMiami Russell mask]] to hit him with a [[BatterUp baseball bat]] on the back of the head, knocking him out. |
| 810 | * UnstoppableRage: Porky's way of attack. Especially noticeable after [[spoiler:Junko's death]]. |
| 811 | * VaderBreath: This is [[TheSpeechless Sonic.EYX]]'s only way of speaking. Sounds for added effect range from [[Characters/DoctorWhoTheSilence the Silence]] to [[Literature/HarryPotter Dementors]] to even [[Franchise/StarWars Darth Vader himself]]. |
| 812 | * VerbalTic: The {{Cat Girl}}s insert "nya", the Japanese onomatopoeia for "meow", in most of their sentences. |
| 813 | * VileVillainLaughableLackey: Porky and his Pigmasks, respectively. |
| 814 | * VillainsOutShopping: One episode shows the Fans (bar Tony) having casual games of UsefulNotes/{{tennis}} with the members of the [[Literature/HighSchoolDxD Occult Research Club]]: Alex and Ash versus Rias and Akeno, with Mark acting as the umpire and Corey the ball boy. Sans, confused over what Corey meant by "service", even brings out drinks for the two teams as refreshments.[[note]][[RunningGag Sans Pun Count: 39]][[/note]] |
| 815 | * VoiceGrunting: The Pigmasks sometimes use voice clips to accompany their speech. Of course, it's mainly Internet memes. |
| 816 | * VoluntaryShapeshifting: [[spoiler:The FinalBoss of the series as a whole, the Phantomorph, can twist her proportions into any character she wishes. No one truly knows what she looks like.]] |
| 817 | * VomitDiscretionShot: As a possible TakeThat to Franchise/{{Barbie}}, in the AnimatedOuttakes for series 3, the camera cuts away from Porky ''just'' as he projectile vomits when he sees Barbieland. |
| 818 | * WalkingSpoiler: Series finales are the main examples because they all contain a season-specific FinalBoss. It is for this reason that logbat99 went as far as to [[DoNotSpoilThisEnding ban any mention of them]] and the {{Final Boss}}es bar [[spoiler:Blitztank]] on the official Discord server until a fortnight after the finale's release, and even then they all (except [[spoiler:Blitztank]] under [[FictionalVideoGame specific conditions]]) must be discussed in the spoiler channel. |
| 819 | ** By far the biggest example yet is [[spoiler:the Phantomorph, the ArcVillain of the fourth series and the FinalBoss of the entire project. Even if it boils down to "there's another surviving Despair Robot and Porky becomes a TokenHeroicOrc", it's very hard to talk about the series without mentioning her involvement. Her true identity, Kanade Otonokoji of ''VisualNovel/SuperDanganronpaAnother2'' fame, is also very spoiler-heavy due to only appearing at the end of the series, as does Junko's death which she causes]]. |
| 820 | * WalkOnWater: |
| 821 | ** Sonic can run on water as he fears drowning. Take note Something! |
| 822 | ** The VideoGame/FZero machines can also travel on water without retiring. The lore is that this feature was removed after the story to stop pilots cheating on Big Blue during official races. |
| 823 | * WeakenedByTheLight: Averted despite [[Franchise/{{Gremlins}} the actions of one Pigmask]]. |
| 824 | * WeAllDieSomeday: Said by Porky Minch to Junko Enoshima when [[spoiler:Junko is about to die]]. However, [[AndIMustScream this does not include Porky himself]]. |
| 825 | * WeInterruptThisProgram: InTheStyleOf ''WesternAnimation/TheSecretShow''. Across the series, Sweetheart tries to put on her live show ''[[ShowWithinAShow Sweetheart's Quest for Hearts]]'', but the other characters storm the set every time she does so, because the timeslot is needed urgently. |
| 826 | * WeirdCrossover: So much so that the folder above titled "Major Series Represented" is [[MassiveMultiplayerCrossover just the tip and a few chunks of the iceberg]]. |
| 827 | * WhamLine: At the end of the series 3 finale: [[spoiler:"The last of the Despair Robots no longer has this titie. There is another survivor of [Porky's] species."]] [[WordOfGod This was apparently a]] DeletedScene, and is what caused the fourth series to develop. |
| 828 | * WhamShot: |
| 829 | ** [[spoiler:The Iron Minch killing off Miu Iruma]] near the end of series one. |
| 830 | ** [[VideoGame/PokemonSunAndMoon "Symbiont of Supremacy"]] ends with [[spoiler:Lusamine being killed by the Phantomorph]]. |
| 831 | ** "Eternal Engine": [[spoiler:Rias!Phantomorph revealing a Blitz Motor inside her.]] |
| 832 | ** Immediately before the TitleSequence of "Ultimate Annihilation", [[spoiler:Kanade Otonokoji reveals herself as the true identity of the Phantomorph]]. ''In'' the Title Sequence, [[spoiler:Kanade]]'s {{leitmotif}} does a BackgroundMusicOverride for added effect. |
| 833 | ** The mere existence of [[spoiler:a ''second'' Iron Minch]] kicks off the FinalBattle. |
| 834 | --->[[spoiler:'''Kanade:''' You're [[SirSwearsALot fucking]] kidding.]] |
| 835 | * WhatHappenedToTheMouse: The ''TabletopGame/YuGiOh'' monsters are forgotten about over the course of the narrative. They don't appear at all in Series 4. |
| 836 | * WhereTheHellIsSpringfield: We're never told exactly where the unnamed city the New Hope Warriors reside in is. All we know is that it's somewhere in Japan, near Tokyo, and it does ''not'' border [[VideoGame/Cyberpunk2077 Night City]]. |
| 837 | * WriteWhatYouKnow: Tony [[TakeThat killing]] a [[VideoGame/{{Fortnite}} Renegade Raider]], Infinite being mistaken for a [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic brony]] after his short stint in Ponyville, and Porky frequently protesting that [[SheIsNotMyGirlfriend Junko isn't his girlfriend]] were all based on false rumours in logbat99's secondary school, according to a Discord thread. |
| 838 | * WritersCannotDoMath: In-universe when one Dalek questions another Dalek about his wrongly-recited Pythagorean theorem he uses while attempting to prove his importance.[[note]]This is a CallBack: Ibuki Mioda used the exact same words a series and a half earlier.[[/note]] |
| 839 | * WrittenInAbsence: In-universe. The AnimatedOuttakes for the third series reveal the reason behind Porky's absence in [[Franchise/{{Barbie}} "Nightmare House"]]. He [[VomitDiscretionShot projectile vomited]] after seeing Barbieland for the first time, and was taken ill afterwards; this prompted Mettaton to write him out of the episode. |
| 840 | * WrongSongGag: Doubles as a ShoutOut to the ''[[WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons Simpsons]]'' episode [[Recap/TheSimpsonsS7E8MotherSimpson "Mother Simpson"]]. In the first part of the series 1 finale, before [[spoiler:the Iron Minch]] is unleashed, Porky plays a CD containing "dramatic music"[[note]]"Arena [[DoomyDoomsOfDoom of Doom]]" from ''VideoGame/MotherRussiaBleeds''[[/note]], but Sans, having recorded over the disc, is blamed for changing the song to [[Creator/{{Pinkfong}} "Baby Shark"]]. |
| 841 | * XenomorphXerox: Lampshaded in [[VideoGame/PokemonSwordAndShield Eternatus]]' [[AllThereInTheManual official bio]]: "Not to be confused with the Xenomorph from ''Franchise/{{Alien}}''". |
| 842 | * YearX: The series takes place in 20XX. |
| 843 | * YouAlwaysHearTheBullet: Averted, given that gunshots and deaths happen at the same time due to the animation limitations. The only straight example is [[spoiler:the shot from the Phantomorph that kills Junko. She notices it, then falls dead]]. |
| 844 | * YouAreNumberSix: Earth-V3's Website/SCPFoundation gives characters code names with the pattern "Subject X". For example, Something has the code name Subject 8. |
| 845 | ** There's also [[Manga/ElfenLied Lucy]]'s other code name: Diclonius {{Thirteen|IsUnlucky}}. |
| 846 | * YouHaveGotToBeKiddingMe: Infinite's initial reaction to Rias Gremory. |
| 847 | * YoungAndInCharge: Jeff is the youngest and leading member of the New Hope Warriors. |
| 848 | * YourMom: The series is no stranger to this type of joke. |
| 849 | ** In "Robot Master Mayhem", [[VideoGame/MegaMan6 Centaur Man]] says that Sonic's mom is so fat, she doesn't need the Internet: she's already [[ExactWords worldwide]]. |
| 850 | ** Gender-inverted in "All Your Base Are Belong to Us", when [[VideoGame/MegaMan10 Nitro Man]] says that Jeff's DisappearedDad is so stupid he got hit by a cup and reported a [[{{Pun}} mugging]]. Jeff's response? "You're confusing him with Sans." |
| 851 | ** "The Fans" sees [[BearsAreBadNews Mark]] attempting to get into the clone laboratory, during which we get this exchange: |
| 852 | --->'''Dalek:''' [[AC: Intruder alert! Intruder alert!]]\ |
| 853 | '''Mark:''' ''[showing off a card]'' I have permission.\ |
| 854 | '''Dalek:''' [[AC:Permission accepted. Who are you here to see?]]\ |
| 855 | '''Mark:''' I'm here to see your mom.\ |
| 856 | '''Dalek:''' [[AC:[[WesternAnimation/TheLegoMovie Is that last name "Mom",]] [[ComicallyMissingThePoint first name "Your", or-?]]]]\ |
| 857 | ''[Mark [[KilledMidSentence shoots the Dalek]], who lets out a robotic-filtered [[StockScream Wilhelm scream]]]''\ |
| 858 | '''Mark:''' I hate that guy. |
| 859 | ** In [[VideoGame/FiveNightsAtFreddysSecurityBreach "Lost and Found"]], Roxanne Wolf is insulted via a Pigmask telling her that her mom is a stuffed animal. |
| 860 | ** A conversation between henchmen in "The Assault of the Royal Knight": |
| 861 | --->'''[[VideoGame/MegaMan9 Plug Man]]:''' Hey, [[StockJokes who was that lady I saw you with last night?]]\ |
| 862 | '''Pigmask:''' [[StockJokes That was no lady, that was]] [[SubvertedTrope your mom]]!\ |
| 863 | ''[cue overlay of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jQOQ3RBKvbE this]] Supa Hot Fire clip]''\ |
| 864 | '''Dalek:''' [[AC:[[NoSenseOfHumor Does not compute.]]]] |
| 865 | ** Sans inverts this by saying his mom bought [[StealthPun tickets]] to Platform/XboxLive. [[DontExplainTheJoke Because she thought it was a concert.]] |
| 866 | ** [[spoiler:The Phantomorph calls Infinite's mom weaker than a tree. [[BerserkButton Which turns out to be a big mistake.]]]] |

| 868 | |
| 869 | !!Tropes with their own folders: |
| 870 | [[folder:Mythology Gag]] |
| 871 | As expected, references to source material is highly likely given the interactions between different universes. |
| 872 | |
| 873 | !!General/Unsorted |
| 874 | * There has been [[VisualNovel/TheMurderOfSonicTheHedgehog an official Sonic game]] in VisualNovel form. |
| 875 | * Mettaton has [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZCsQRfQXwlQ already been a news reporter]] prior to this series. |
| 876 | * Most of the Daleks' lines are adapted from either official episodes or ''WebVideo/TheBuggerAnthology''. For example, when asked about declaring war on the Warriors (again): "[[AC:This is not war! [[Recap/DoctorWhoS28E13Doomsday This is pest control!]]]]" |
| 877 | * Sans speaks in Comic Sans as he does anywhere else. |
| 878 | * The [[WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons "D'oh!"]] sound file the Pigmasks use translates to "*annoyed grunt*" in the text box. |
| 879 | * [[VideoGame/HotlineMiami Richard]] has the body of Leon Kuwata, Ultimate Baseball Star, by default. Jacket, who uses Richard as his default mask, has a baseball bat as one of his first weapons. |
| 880 | |
| 881 | !!Series 1 |
| 882 | * This: |
| 883 | -->''[after Jeff meddles with a Dalek's vision]''\ |
| 884 | '''Dalek:''' [[AC:[[WeaksauceWeakness My vision is impaired]]! I cannot see!]]\ |
| 885 | ''[the Dalek explodes, with only its head left intact]''\ |
| 886 | '''Dalek:''' [[AC:Typical.]] |
| 887 | * In "Hope Breakout", Richard of ''VideoGame/HotlineMiami'' fame apparently knows who Film/JohnWick is. Jacket and John Wick both appear in ''VideoGame/Payday2''. |
| 888 | * Something's code name "Subject 8" references the ArcNumber of [[VideoGame/{{Omori}} his home game]]: 1 + 4 + 3 = 8. |
| 889 | |
| 890 | !!Series 2 |
| 891 | * Each Fan's FreezeFrameIntroduction during the scene in which they kill everyone in the [[VideoGame/{{Fortnite}} Battle Bus]] uses the exact wording of how their abilities are described in ''VideoGame/HotlineMiami2WrongNumber''. Tony's has brackets around "No Weapons". |
| 892 | * The scene in which Tony [[TakeThat rams the Battle Bus into the ground]]? [[https://fortnite.fandom.com/wiki/Crashed_Battle_Bus The vehicle actually crashed in-game.]] |
| 893 | * Genocide Jack's CallingCard of "BLOODLUST" written on the wall of a crime scene. |
| 894 | * This exchange in response to Infinite being called "weak" again: |
| 895 | -->'''Infinite:''' [[PunctuatedForEmphasis IT...]] ''[[BerserkButton IS...]]'' '''''[[ThisMeansWar ON!!]]'''''\ |
| 896 | '''[[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic Nightmare Moon]]:''' That phrase certainly sounds familiar. |
| 897 | * This line from Porky doubles as a TakeThat to ''VideoGame/{{Minecraft}}'': "[[VideoGame/EarthBound1994 This game stinks.]]" |
| 898 | * Two words: [[VideoGame/GenshinImpact emergency food]]. |
| 899 | -->'''Paimon:''' For the last time, Paimon is ''not'' emergency food!\ |
| 900 | '''Tony:''' Yeah, whatever. |
| 901 | * [[Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica Homura Akemi]] sees Oktavia von Seckendorff as strikingly familiar. This also gives the implication that the events of everyone's source material tie in with the AlternateUniverse setting. |
| 902 | |
| 903 | !!Series 3 |
| 904 | * Neo Politan [[WebAnimation/RWBYChibi communicates using]] [[TalkingWithSigns signs]] and [[spoiler:has [[VideoGame/BlazBlueCrossTagBattle already seen a tank before]]]]. |
| 905 | * When Electrohead is confronted, the music changes to "Kill Your TV". This is true for both [[VideoGame/FiveNightsAtFreddysSecurityBreach "Lost & Found"]] and ''VideoGame/KatanaZero''. |
| 906 | * Discussing uniforms in "Operation Iron Horse", one Elektrosoldat suggests for the troops to wear white uniforms and Adler to wear red, so that their opponents know who to fear. This is the colour of their outfits in ''EN-Eins Perfektewelt'', the sequel to ''VideoGame/AkatsukiBlitzkampf''. |
| 907 | ** [[spoiler:As a {{cyborg}},]] Adler wears this outfit in the series 4A episode [[VideoGame/PapersPlease "Death to Arstotzka"]], except it's made from [[BloodIron his own blood]]. |
| 908 | |
| 909 | !!Series 4 |
| 910 | * When [[Literature/DanganronpaZero Ryoko Otonashi]] is first mentioned in a series 4A episode while looking for the missing Junko, Porky has a sudden flashback. [[JekyllAndHyde Ryoko and Junko are the same person.]] |
| 911 | -->'''Porky:''' [[DoubleTake Wait a minute.]] |
| 912 | * From [[VideoGame/PokemonSunAndMoon "Symbiont of Supremacy"]], Lusamine's FusionDance with Nihilego creating the Mother Beast again. [[spoiler:This time, however, it's a ForcedTransformation as a consequence of Infinite meddling with the latter's genetics.]] |
| 913 | * Rias [[SleepsInTheNude Sleeping in the Nude]] and Richard [[NightmareSequence invading her dream]]. During the latter, the BGM is the same as when Jacket encounters Richard ("Silver Lights"). |
| 914 | * Issei's best move on [[spoiler:Kanade]] is [[TheNudifier Dress Break]], once again resulting in [[ClothingDamage clothing being ripped off]], [[spoiler:as well as [[RoboticReveal skin]] on this occasion]]. |

| 966 | What did you expect from a ReferenceOverdosed (visual) fanfiction? (Note: The Pigmasks aren't included due to their hefty dose of [[MemeticMutation Internet memes]].) |
| 967 | |
| 968 | !!General |
| 969 | * The logo for the series has the ''VideoGame/GeometryDash'' font. |
| 970 | * Sonic.exe was a regular Sonic clone who was [[ComicBook/HarleyQuinn thrown into a vat of blood-red chemicals]]. |
| 971 | * The [[WebVideo/DragonBallZAbridged Sans Pun Count]] RunningGag. |
| 972 | * The possible non-''Franchise/{{Danganronpa}}'' sound effects that can punctuate text include a [[Platform/{{Vine}} Vine boom]] and the ''VideoGame/MetalGear'' ScareChord. |
| 973 | * The [[StockScream Wilhelm scream]] and the JustForFun/{{rickroll}} are common {{Running Gag}}s. |
| 974 | * The [[KentBrockmanNews Super High School Level News]] intro music is the theme to ''Series/BigBrother UK''. Until series 3 rolled around, it was out-of-date.[[labelnote:Explanation]]In the first two seasons, [=BadWolfMusic53=] initially used Element Four's version of the song, both him and logbat99 being oblivious to a new version by Perfecto Allstarz. After the title sequence for SHSL News was redone to match the latter song, logbat99 caved in and uploaded ''his'' remix under the ''DarthWiki/CMCPlusBloopers'' OST.[[/labelnote]] |
| 975 | * Every video description features ''Series/{{Friends}}''' iconic JustForFun/TheOneWith directly below the IDoNotOwn and "[[Music/SiIvaGunner Please read the channel description.]]" on the final line. |
| 976 | * VideoGame/SonicEyx was created in [[Series/StrangerThings the Upside Down]]. Or at least [[AllThereInTheManual according to his bio]]. |
| 977 | * Many, ''many'' {{leitmotif}}s. For example, Porky's series 1 theme and Monokuma's series 2-4 theme is [[Music/DaftPunk "The Prime Time of Your Life"]]. Or rather, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_aJt5SLjBvc a remix]] that removes the NightmareFuel. |
| 978 | * How about episode titles? Some good examples include "[[VideoGame/SonicCD Fun is Infinite]]", "[[Literature/HowTheGrinchStoleChristmas How the Minch Stole Christmas]]", "[[Literature/TheThreeMusketeers The Man in the Iron Helmet]]", and "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS29E13LastOfTheTimeLords Last of the Despair Robots]]" (also, fittingly, the GrandFinale). |
| 979 | * The following sound effects are used as the replacements for VideoGame/SonicEyx's speech: |
| 980 | ** [[Series/DoctorWho The Silence]]. |
| 981 | ** [[Literature/HarryPotter Dementors]]. |
| 982 | ** [[Franchise/StarWars Darth Vader]] (also the {{Trope Namer|s}} for VaderBreath). |
| 983 | ** A Seeker's roar at the start of a round of Hide & Seek mode in ''VideoGame/AmongUs''. |
| 984 | ** The sounds made by the Fans' abomination hallucinations in the ''VideoGame/HotlineMiami2WrongNumber'' level "Apocalypse". |
| 985 | ** For the odd PrecisionFStrike, it's a JumpScare sound from ''Franchise/FiveNightsAtFreddys'' with the volume lowered. |
| 986 | ** A breathing sound [[ShrugOfGod assumed]] to be from ''VideoGame/LobotomyCorporation''. As well as some other sounds emitted by that game's Abnormalities. |
| 987 | * From "There's Something Behind You" onwards, the ShowWithinAShow ''Sweetheart's Quest for Hearts'' becomes a common cold open. This makes it subject to a WeInterruptThisProgram InTheStyleOf ''WesternAnimation/TheSecretShow''. A Discord thread confirms it to be an AffectionateParody. |
| 988 | |
| 989 | !!''Series/DoctorWho'' |
| 990 | Let's be honest, it deserves its own category. |
| 991 | * The InherentlyFunnyWords of "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS30E7TheUnicornAndTheWasp Harvey Wallbanger]]" in "Attack of the Daleks". |
| 992 | * In "A Battle Lost and Won", the series 1 finale, after a loud rumbling in the Falcon Flyer, the Warriors' ally for this episode, [[VisualNovel/Danganronpa2GoodbyeDespair Monomi]], briefly quips [[Recap/DoctorWhoS28E8TheImpossiblePlanet "Oh, well, that wasn't so bad"]] -- cue the series' FinalBoss [[BarrierBustingBlow bursting through the floor]] of a ship that's strangely BiggerOnTheInside. |
| 993 | * From the episode before that with a SpoilerTitle: "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS33E4ThePowerOfThree There are Pigmasks all over the base]], [[SkewedPriorities and I'm in]] [[FullyClothedNudity my swimsuit]]!" |
| 994 | * How does Porky attempt to divert Sans from a series 3 episode's current mission? By [[Recap/DoctorWhoS36E5Oxygen sending him to Hiroshima for a packet of sweets]]. |
| 995 | |
| 996 | !!Series 1 |
| 997 | * The first episode of the series is called "The First Problem". [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS9E26TheLastProblem Sound familiar?]] |
| 998 | * In Porky's first appearance, someone spots Monokuma and tells him he's not supposed to be in Scene 11. Sounds like spotting [[Film/MontyPythonAndTheHolyGrail an old man from Scene 24]], doesn't it? |
| 999 | * This from "Tragedy of the Warriors", lifted from a ''Radio/CabinPressure'' episode. |
| 1000 | -->'''Porky:''' What on Fourside is going on? I'm waiting for you in my office for the mission briefing!\ |
| 1001 | '''Infinite:''' Yes, we saw your light was on and we thought you might still be there.\ |
| 1002 | '''Porky:''' And you're not even in yet!\ |
| 1003 | '''Infinite:''' No, [[DeadpanSnarker we saw your light was on and we thought you might still be there]]. |
| 1004 | * Jeff's first PreAsskickingOneLiner against Junko in the latter's debut. |
| 1005 | -->'''Jeff:''' [[Series/ImACelebrityGetMeOutOfHere She's a celebrity, get her out of here]]. |
| 1006 | * In "You're Too Slow", Junko, Sonic.exe and Infinite are collectively referred to as "[[Literature/{{Cinderella}} Cinderella and the Ugly Sisters]]". |
| 1007 | -->'''Infinite:''' [[ITakeOffenseToThatLastOne ...I'm not her sister.]] |
| 1008 | * Starting from "Send In the Clones", Monokuma enjoys playing [[Radio/CabinPressure Yellow Car]]. |
| 1009 | * In a failed attempt to make Ibuki smarter, the side effect is Ibuki saluting and shouting "[[Film/TheWizardOfOz The sum of the square roots of any two sides of an isosceles triangle is equal to the square root of the remaining side!]]" before [[NonSequiturThud collapsing]]. |
| 1010 | * Monokuma's response to being told to divert attention away from Porky: he diverts attention ''towards him'' by saying "[[Series/HorribleHistories HI! I'M A SHOUTY MAN!]]" |
| 1011 | * A few of the characters are birdwatching in "There's Something Behind You", and we get this joke from the ''Series/HorribleHistories'' BBC Proms special[[note]]The original joke talked about a [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lyre medieval musical instrument]]. This joke refers to the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lyrebird type of bird]].[[/note]]: |
| 1012 | -->'''[[VideoGame/MegaMan9 Galaxy Man]]:''' What kind of bird is that?\ |
| 1013 | '''Tsumugi:''' My book says it's a lyrebird.\ |
| 1014 | '''Sans:''' looks pretty [[{{Pun}} truthful]] to me.[[note]][[RunningGag Sans Pun Count: 18]][[/note]] |
| 1015 | * The bassline of "Subject 8 Escapes" is the same one used in "[[VideoGame/Mother3 Battle Against the Masked Man]]". |
| 1016 | * On the subject of ''VideoGame/{{Omori}}'', Monokuma observes the pairing of Sunny and Mari late into the episode and immediately refers to the central couple in ''Manga/YourLieInApril''. He even name-drops the manga.[[note]]Indeed, several connections can be seen when the two couples are compared. Both pairings involve a violinist (Sunny and Kaori) and a pianist (Mari and Kousei), and the female ends up dying, though at different points in their respective plots.[[/note]] |
| 1017 | * [[spoiler:The name "Iron Minch" [[ComicBook/IronMan certainly sounds familiar]].]] |
| 1018 | * Porky's reaction to the plans for [[spoiler:the Iron Minch]] getting leaked by Jeff's computer Alter Ego: "[[WebVideo/RealTimeFandub Who posted the blueprints on]] Platform/{{Twitter|X}} [[WebVideo/RealTimeFandub dot com?!]]" |
| 1019 | * Regarding Sans' [[LeeroyJenkins latest plan]] in "A Battle Lost and Won": |
| 1020 | -->'''Porky:''' Sans, please. It looks to me like none of your plans will succeed until [[Theatre/{{Macbeth}} the last syllable of recorded time]]. |
| 1021 | * The ChristmasEpisode provides a lot of {{pantomime}} references. |
| 1022 | |
| 1023 | !!Series 2 |
| 1024 | * The very first line of the second series: |
| 1025 | -->'''Narration:''' [[spoiler:Miu Iruma]] was DeadToBeginWith. [[Literature/AChristmasCarol There is no doubt whatever about that.]] |
| 1026 | * This conversation from "The Fans": |
| 1027 | -->'''Dalek:''' [[AC: Who are you here to see?]]\ |
| 1028 | '''Mark:''' I'm here to see YourMom.\ |
| 1029 | '''Dalek:''' [[AC:[[WesternAnimation/TheLegoMovie Is that last name "Mom", first name "Your", or-?]]]] |
| 1030 | * Also in "The Fans", Corey ignores a FourOneNineScam involving '''[[Series/ThatMitchellAndWebbLook MASSIVE YACHTS]]'''. |
| 1031 | * During series 2's first car chase against [[RuleOfThree the Fans]]: |
| 1032 | -->'''Byakuya:''' [[Film/Barbie2023 I gotta lose these chuckleheads.]] |
| 1033 | * When Monokuma first meets Foxy in [[Franchise/FiveNightsAtFreddys "Springtrapped"]], he asks, out of confusion, "[[WesternAnimation/DoraTheExplorer Swiper, no swiping]]?" |
| 1034 | * During the DinerBrawl in [[VisualNovel/{{Nekopara}} "Neko Hell"]], when Sonic.EYX crashes into the wall, Azuki tells him he "Should've gone to [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Specsavers Specsavers]]". |
| 1035 | * In one episode, the New Hope Warriors except Jeff can be seen playing ''[[VideoGame/TheJackboxPartyPack Trivia Murder Party 2]]'' on the television screen[[note]]actually a pre-recorded session on a Discord voice chat. One of the players also has the name "[[CreatorCameo Logbat99]]"[[/note]]. |
| 1036 | * This line from Sonic.exe near the end of [[Literature/IsItWrongToTryToPickUpGirlsInADungeon "Labyrinth of the Minotaur"]]: "[[WebVideo/RealTimeFandub How do you like that, Obama? I]] [[spoiler:destroyed the Babel Dungeon]], [[WebVideo/RealTimeFandub you idiot!]]" |
| 1037 | * "Diclonius Thirteen" is a remix of "[[VideoGame/KatanaZero Third District]]". |
| 1038 | * When asked what happened to the other diclonii, Infinite describes the event as "the [[InvertedTrope exact opposite]] of the [[Literature/TheHungerGames Hunger Games]] districts".[[labelnote:Explanation]]In ''The Hunger Games'', District 13 was destroyed by the Capitol in the First Rebellion prior to the events of the series, leaving Districts 1-12 to survive. Given this, Infinite is effectively saying that Diclonius Thirteen is the [[LastOfHisKind Last of Her Kind]] -- and the other diclonii are dead -- by referencing ''The Hunger Games''. However, Infinite is oblivious to the fact that District 13 was actually secretly surviving underground for ''75 years'', and would later form its own group to try to overthrow the Capitol. Then again, at the time the episode aired, logbat99 [[WordOfGod revealed via a Discord thread]] that he had only read the first book in the series.[[/labelnote]] |
| 1039 | * [[Manga/BlendS S stands for]] [[VideoGame/{{Deltarune}} Spamton]], according to "Reconstruction of [[Series/DoctorWho the Cybermen]]". |
| 1040 | * In "Cyber-Conversion", [[VideoGame/MegaMan11 Bounce Man]] tries and fails to say "[[Series/TheInbetweeners bus wankers]]" and is hit by a [[LowClearance low bridge]]. |
| 1041 | * Sonic.exe rattling off the princesses in [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic "Nightmare Moon"]]... and failing: |
| 1042 | -->'''Sonic.exe:''' I think I know all of them. Princess Luna, Princess Celestia, Princess Cadance, Princess [[Series/MockTheWeek Monaco]] [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking of Kent]]--\ |
| 1043 | '''Infinite:''' Well, that answers ''that'' quest-- [[DoubleTake wait, Princess Monaco of Kent?!]] |
| 1044 | * When an explosion goes off in Ponyville, a person wearing a [[VideoGame/HotlineMiami Jones mask]] asks for Inspector Sands to report to the Carousel Boutique. [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inspector_Sands "Inspector Sands"]] is a CodeEmergency that describes a fire in train stations and theatres, which is initially ignored by the general public. |
| 1045 | * '''Sonic:''' "What are we doing underwater? We're not WesternAnimation/TheOctonauts!" |
| 1046 | * When Oktavia finally goes down in Part One of "Witch Hunt", Sonic shouts "[[Film/TheWizardOfOz Ding, dong, the witch is dead!]]" |

| 1048 | * The AnimatedOuttakes: |
| 1049 | ** After Mark reveals a {{Gag Censor}}ed pin-up of Rias as his wallpaper by accident, Tony remarks "Well, at least [[TheInternetIsForPorn now you know]] what [[Theatre/AvenueQ the Internet is for]]." |
| 1050 | ** Mettaton refers to Rias as "the Creator/StanLee of the project". |
| 1051 | |
| 1052 | !!Series 3 |
| 1053 | * One trailer cuts short Porky Minch's name by one letter as it moves in from the left (so it reads "orky Minch"). Sans jokes that the animator's [[Film/CarryOnCamping gone for a "P"]]. |
| 1054 | ** Even Website/TVTropes itself can be referenced: after the above remark, Porky calls Sans "CaptainObvious". |
| 1055 | * Throughout the series as a whole, Richard is essentially the hosts from ''TabletopGame/{{Atmosfear}}'' if they wore chicken masks: |
| 1056 | ** His presence is announced with a clap of DramaticThunder. This is also true for series 4. |
| 1057 | ** He often tells the characters to "thrill me", Baron Samedi's CharacterCatchphrase, as he watches the carnage unfold. In "The Assault of the Royal Night", he instead says "indulge me", the catchphrase for UsefulNotes/ElizabethBathory. |
| 1058 | ** During the fight against the series' FinalBoss, the above thunderclap is accompanied by him shouting "'''STOP!'''" to temporarily halt the action in the same way the Gatekeeper does so. |
| 1059 | * [[VideoGame/FiveNightsAtFreddysSecurityBreach "Shatter in the PizzaPlex"]] features the two prior references to ''Film/TheWizardOfOz'': |
| 1060 | ** The newspaper Roxanne Wolf shows Jeff has the headline "Ding Dong, The Witch Is Dead". |

| 1064 | -->'''Sans:''' {{your m|om}}um's your dad, your dad's your mum, you're interbred, [[TakeThat you]] ''VideoGame/{{Fortnite}}'' [[RhymesOnADime scum]]! |
| 1065 | * "DONTHUGME" provides another Website/TVTropes reference when [[VideoGame/{{Imscared}} White Face]] remarks that [[Administrivia/PeopleSitOnChairs sitting on a chair isn't really descriptive]]. |
| 1066 | * The unused "Operation Iron Horse" is a double remix: "[[VideoGame/AkatsukiBlitzkampf Iron]] [[DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment Horse]]" and "[[VideoGame/Mother3 Master Porky's Theme]]". [[spoiler:Interestingly, the former is Blitztank's {{leitmotif}} in his source game.]] |
| 1067 | * [[SpellMyNameWithAThe Unintentionally]] when Adler tells Celeste to "[[VideoGame/TeamFortress2 Meet the]] [[spoiler:Blitztank]]." |
| 1068 | * The moment the Fans see [[spoiler:Blitztank]], Tony ScreamsLikeALittleGirl. Or, more specifically, like the zombie in the infamous Advertising/KFee ScreamerPrank commercials. |
| 1069 | * [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inspector_Sands Inspector Sands]] makes a return when [[spoiler:Blitztank sets fire to the [=PizzaPlex=]]]. |
| 1070 | * In the second ChristmasEpisode, right after the Fans' van's emergency brake is pulled and Tony [[GlassSmackAndSlide is thrown into the glass of one of the windows]], he shouts "[[WesternAnimation/ThePolarExpress WHO IN THE BLAZES APPLIED THAT EMERGENCY BRAKE?!]]" |

| 1072 | !!Series 4 |
| 1073 | * Yet another Website/TVTropes reference: The first episode of the series has the title "FourIsDeath". |
| 1074 | ** It's also confirmed by WordOfGod to be a ShoutOut to ''Anime/Danganronpa3TheEndOfHopesPeakHighSchool'', with its first episode having the title "Third time's the charm". |
| 1075 | * Tony referring to Rias Gremory as "[[Film/WhoFramedRogerRabbit Jessica Rabbit]]". |
| 1076 | * Similarly, Porky asks Rias if she originates from ''Literature/FiftyShadesOfGrey'' in "Four Is Death". |
| 1077 | * With [[Literature/HighSchoolDxD Raynare]] down but Tony still active, the latter gives this line: "[[UsefulNotes/AssociationFootball They think it's all over]]... [[SubvertedTrope they're wrong]]!" |
| 1078 | * The music for the Mother Beast fight is a combination of three Music/{{Perturbator}} songs: "Technoir", "Humans Are Such Easy Prey", and "Sentient". |
| 1079 | * The debut of [[spoiler:the Phantomorph]] is accompanied by [[Music/TheCaretaker Everywhere at the End of Time]]. |
| 1080 | * The backgrounds in the Series 4B title sequence [[OminousVisualGlitch glitching]] was inspired by the LogoJoke for the ''[[Film/FiveNightsAtFreddys2023 Five Nights at Freddy's]]'' movie. |
| 1081 | * The lore reveals that there have been three batches of New Hope Warriors before the story, therefore this generation of New Hope Warriors is the fourth. [[Franchise/MyLittlePony Hmm...]] |
| 1082 | * A lot of [[spoiler:the Phantomorph]]'s dialogue when enraged is in WebOriginal/{{Zalgo}}. |
| 1083 | * ''Film/TheHumanCentipede'' makes a brief appearance [[spoiler:as a FreezeFrameBonus in the Despair Video the Phantomorph is ForcedToWatch. It's also her AbsurdPhobia, if her time in Room101 is anything to go by]]. |
| 1084 | * Sans going LiteralMinded again: |
| 1085 | -->'''Porky:''' [[spoiler:Despair Robot]] at twelve o'clock.\ |
| 1086 | '''Sans:''' [[WesternAnimation/PenguinsOfMadagascar good, it's only half past eleven.]] |
| 1087 | * [[spoiler:Kanade]] is described as having a "plate" in their head, the same thing Sammy from ''Theatre/BloodBrothers'' has. Both characters perform violent behaviour as a result. |
| 1088 | * [[spoiler:The Iron Minch Mk. 2 has the appearance of [[Literature/HighSchoolDXD Issei's Red Dragon Emperor form]].]] |
| 1089 | * At one point in the FinalBattle ([[spoiler:ironic considering Kanade's [[SirSwearsALot personality]]]]): |
| 1090 | -->'''Porky:''' You are live on [[KentBrockmanNews Super High School Level News]]. [[Series/BigBrother Please do not swear.]] |
| 1091 | * [[spoiler:The Phantomorph]] reveals in a DeletedScene for series 4B that they've been following the basic premise of [[Series/TheThickOfIt Tucker's Law]][[labelnote:Explanation]]If some [[CountryMatters cunt]] can [[PrecisionFStrike fuck]] something up, that [[CountryMatters cunt]] will pick the worst possible time to [[ClusterFBomb fucking fuck it up]] because [[CountryMatters that cunt's a cunt]][[/labelnote]]. Then again, that character ''is'' a SirSwearsALot... |
