62	* ShoutOut:
63	** The random regains are based on items from the ''{{Franchise/Danganronpa}}'' series.

66	** Eliza says that Beyond Birthday/Ryuzaki can't be the killer because [[VisualNovel/UminekoWhenTheyCry the detective isn't allowed to be the culprit.]]
67	** Beyond Birthday is fond of making obscure references himself. His transformation chant is comprised of a bunch of antonyms to the chant from ''Anime/AkazukinChacha'' ("UNHOLY UP!"), and he did the "Checkmate" sealing catchphrase and pose from ''Manga/PhantomThiefJeanne''.
68	*** [[spoiler: One of his letters from deadland takes this up to eleven with an entire CrosswordPuzzle about various magical girl shows.]]

70	* SkewedPriorities:
71	** [[spoiler: When Eliza realizes that Kaine killed her, she's angrier about the fact that he tried to kill Zack, and then the fact that he refused to confess and hurt Recette emotionally, than the fact that he killed her. Similarly, Zack is later angrier about Kaine killing Eliza than trying to kill him.]]
72	** After the GoldenEnding, Eruna's reaction to learning that [[spoiler: they all have to return to their own worlds and will lose their memories is to lament that they won't be able to get the Harem End.]]
73	* SlidingScaleOfIdealismVersusCynicism: Varies greatly, from "everything will be fine" to "we're all doomed" depending on the characters and the types of series they come from.
74	* TragicKeepsake:
75	** [[spoiler: Zack and Recette adopt Eliza's Pokemon after she dies.]]
76	** [[spoiler: Edna takes Eruna's guitar after she dies.]]
77	** [[spoiler: Miach takes Szayel's sword after he dies.]]
78	** [[spoiler: Recette takes Zack's scythe after he dies.]]
