Castle

• Many things that come out of Serra's mouth:
  "Excuse me. Girl praying here."
  "Saint Elimine... Please make sure everyone stays safe... And that they all give me my fair share."
  • When most characters get a new skill, they either express gratitude towards the player, or boast about their new power. Serra's response?
    "Wha-? You made me stronger? Now I have to do more?!"
  • Just like in her home game, Serra's reasons for disliking war are very different to most units..
    "Battles have such a terrible cost...All that time in the sun? My skin is so dry!"
• Speaking to Chrom in the castle can have him ask if you can spar with him. Then he considers self-defense drills, so he won't break anything. Alternatively, he can mention how he broke a pot while training.
• One of Virion's quotes has him brew tea from herbs grown in Askr... except you had to tell him that those "herbs" were weeds.
• Arthur is just as hammy as he always was.
  "Hahaha! My chin is one of the great wonders of the world!"
  "Do we not all strike a pose when victorious? I do. All heroes should!
  "You may think me a clumsy fellow...and, my friend, you're right!"
• When talked to in the castle, Setsuna may mention that she nearly hit Alfonse during archery practice. She says that Alfonse gave her a weird face in response.
• One of Wrys' quotes in the castle has him boast the simplicity of grooming with his hair style, and offers to give you the same style. He's bald. This doubles as a Mythology Gag from Fire Emblem: New Mystery of the Emblem ~ Heroes of Light and Shadow, where Wrys does the exact same thing to the avatar in that game.
• When talking to Saizo (tapping on his image when viewing his full character), he may drop this little gem:
  Saizo: I never get tired, so don't insult me with coffee or tea, or candy. Never candy.
• One of Setsuna's tap quotes has her exclaim that she fell into a pit...although she hasn't yet; it's just a reminder where to look if she goes missing.
• If you get Stahl, he says this upon joining the group:
  Stahl: Sorry - can't tell if my stomachache is nerves or my three lunches!
• Female Corrin's speech upon reaching level 40 starts off with her apologizing for patting you on the head so much, revealing that it's "a bad habit [she] picked up back home". She then encourages you to pat her on the head, and laughs at how gentle you are.
• Once Soren reaches level 40, his speech begins with wrapping up his hero analysis. While he yearns to return home, he sticks around mainly so that he could sneak into other worlds and spy on the enemies to learn their secrets.
• Most heroes will introduce themselves as you draw them and make a personal note. Soren, Seth, and Bantu just ask if their respective game's protagonists are there (Ike for Soren, the Renais twins for Seth, Tiki for Bantu).
• Leon expresses displeasure about being pulled away from Valbar when summoned.
• One of Takumi's voiced clips is him asking if you were happy to see him when he showed up, bordering on Leaning on the Fourth Wall knowing Takumi's normal summoning rates means he's only available as a five star unit.
• Selena may have given away her identity indirectly...
  "You're bored too, huh? You should show me around this place. It's my third world I've ever—Uh, I mean two. Just two."
• Leo has a couple gems to say at 5 stars.
  Leo: You'll never guess which vegetable really catches my fancy...tomatoes.
  Leo: If you ever see my collar inside out, please tell me! ...Not that it ever happens.
• Some of the heroes have very amusing lines when visiting your castle.
  Azama: I bear a load of hellos from (Friend's name)! Glad to be little more than a mule in this situation.
• If a friend's Odin comes to visit:
  Odin: A friend of yours sent me with a missive of massive import. Now, [Friend] says...
  Odin: Hi.
• Sharena, like always, is delighted by interdimensional shenanigans.
  Sharena: How do you do? Huh? So this is another Askran Kingdom...hey tell me! How's the ME here? Nice, huh?
• Even regular greetings can become this if a friend's name is just right.
  Azura: I bring best wishes from our group to yours in the name of Jesus.
• The way the heroes appear in the player's home area ensures there will always be the leader, the currently selected team, 3-4 random characters from the rest of your army, and your friend's leader. The lines each character has when tapped remain the exact same. This can result in things like Bartre calling for his daughter when she's standing right next to him. Or Minerva talking about how she had to execute her brother Michalis while he's flapping away on his wyvern right beside her. Or even Eldigan wondering if he could meet the son of his friend Sigurd, when said son can be right in front of him. Or when Gerome muses that as a summoner you can call upon his deceased parents, but backpedals saying to forget what he said, while Cherche and whoever you chose as his father (provided that he's in the game) can be seen nearby.
• One of Ursula's voice lines when tapped on. Misty Lee's delivery is what really sells it.
  Ursula: NEVER poke an assassin, lest she, poke, YOU.
• Michalis' Badass Boast about how the Player Character (Kiran the Summoner) will "never control" him and how he will "defy you at every turn" becomes hilarious once Gameplay and Story Segregation sets in during battle and he's forced to follow orders like any other unit.
  • It gets even funnier if you have Clarisse in your team...
    Clarisse: Hmpf...Heroes...from other worlds... I bet there's at least one of them who's not totally loyal to you. You give the word, and then I'll get rid of whomever it is. Permanently.
  • His voiced quotes are pretty hilarious, too. He demands that you address him as "KING Michalis of Macedon" and announces his intention of conquering the worlds. All of them. David Vincent was clearly having a LOT of fun with those lines.
• Ninian's level 40 quote has her mention her dragon blood as if Kiran had no idea she had it. Despite turning into a dragon regularly during gameplay. It might be lampshading how her dragon form is supposed to be a huge spoiler in her home game.
• Pretty much all of Berkut's voiced lines are him getting annoyed at the player constantly poking him. What really makes these lines hilarious is Ian Sinclair's delivery.
  • Since this Berkut is from before his horrible and tragic Sanity Slippage, some of his reactions are surprisingly close to Tsundere ones. Especially...:
    "You there. Show me to a jeweler. Not for myself, I'll have you know. Not that I owe you an explanation!"
• Apparently Athena misheard the Order of Heroes as Odor of Heroes, which makes her think that they smell like slop and asks why don't they just take a bath.
• Spring Camilla may mention that Xander hides eggs around their castle back home for the Spring Festival (i.e. Easter). The idea that somebody as intimidating and serious as Xander is the one to hide the eggs is just silly.
• Luke is just as much of a Large Ham and Small Name, Big Ego as he is in his home game, always boasting about "The legend of Luke!"
• Most characters get a flattering title. What does Tobin's say? The Clueless One.
• What Summer Robin has to say about her choice of clothes:
  Robin: This swimsuit? It is a tactic to confuse the enemy. Can you concentrate on battle right now? Nope!
• Almost every voice line for Summer Leo is dripping with sarcasm or disdain regarding being at the beach.
  Leo: Tropical islands? Forget it! And this swimsuit? Don't even get me started.
• One of Summer Elise's castle lines has her suggest that the Order of Heroes needs to have a swimming party, then realizes that it would be terrible if the enemy ambushes them during the event.
• In a Black Comedy sort of way, Valter. One of his 4* voice lines has him warn you to never think of him as being yours. Then, upon reaching 5*, one of his voice lines has him declare that you are his now. He demands that you entertain him.
• Nephenee has a Running Gag in which she is attempting to speak normally, but her country accent slips in and causes her to backpedal and correct herself. This even happens when she's summoned:
  Nephenee: I'll fight alongside y'all—uh, you all... So...I'm pleased to be here.
• Sigurd's Level 40 quote mentions about how his son Seliph is currently trying to avenge his death and clean up his mess, implying that this version of Sigurd might actually be a ghost.
• One of Minerva's lines had her mention that in her better days, she rode an adorable Pegasus. In addition on referring how in her home game Pegasus Knights promote into Wyvern Riders, the punchline is that she's never going to be seen riding said adorable Pegasus because no matter what game, she's already a prepromoted Wyvern Rider. And then you realize that this can apply to Michalis too...^note Funnily enough, Minerva has a Cipher card portraying her as a Pegasus Knight, while also being DLC for Fates using said class.
• Joshua's greeting quote has him say that his Summoner sent him to your castle with "this" (presumably the feathers you get when you receive greetings from friends), and "was insistent that [he] not gamble it away".
  • How does he reveal his status as royalty in his Level 40 confession? Very casually, as though he couldn't remember if he'd already told you or not.
  • On a meta note, the fact that Joshua is a free reward for the Tempest Trials is funny. Any player can get him without spending orbs on the random Summoning that most characters are locked behind. In other words, The Gambling Addict of the Heroes cast can be obtained without gambling at all.
• One of Dorcas's voiced lines gives a Shout-Out to the commercial that made him famous.
  Dorcas: How's my health? Well, I had some bad mutton earlier, but I feel fine otherwise.
• One of Christmas Chrom's voiced lines has him commenting that Lissa made him wear the seasonal outfit. The delivery on the line makes him sound dead inside.
  • One of his castle lines has him say that he convinced Alfonse to try on his Santa costume. Made funnier by Chrom showing dismay at how the costume suits Alfonse better than it does him.
  • The above is made even funnier when you consider that both Alfonse and Chrom are very similar, given that they are both blue-haired lords, and are mighty glaciers.
• Gunnthrá's sprite in the castle shows her reading a tome. With Skill inheritance, you can replace her tome with a green egg, making the sight of reading the egg completely hilarious.
  • She also mentions that Askr is rather warm compared to her homeland. Hot, even. She nonchalantly says that she's sweating and asks if you know where she might be able to bathe.
• Delthea seems to be aware that she's drawn by a Moe artist:
  Delthea: (After learning a skill) I see how it is. You're giving me this because you think I'm cute!
• One of L'Arachel's voiced lines almost gives her away as Rausten's princess, only for her to catch herself at the last minute. Her title? Princess of Light. And another one of her lines (emphasis hers)?
  L'Arachel: I am L'Arachel, the beautiful princess of peerless beauty. You would do well to remember that.
  • Similarly, one of her Halloween alt's quotes is this:
    L'Arachel: This costume is PERFECT! Who would look at this and imagine me to be the princess of Rausten?
• Upon summoning Myrrh, you apparently ask her age right off the bat. Evidently the summoner has learned from the previous dragons to never assume anything. (Even better, Myrrh gets annoyed about it - she's evidently gotten sensitive about her age from hearing Ephraim & other talk! (Granted, it's also cribbed from her support with Dozla, but even so.))
• Valentine Hector has some funny stuff about him, from his title being "Just Here to Fight", to his line about his daughter Lilina, where he's on the verge of tears.
  Hector: Never thought I'd see the day my daughter was giving me presents. *sniff*
• In a case of Black Comedy, Fallen Hero Robin decides to vent his frustrations about not being able to regain his memories.
  Robin: Maybe I'll go start a war to cheer myself up.
• One of male Morgan's quotes is a nice Call-Back to his supports from Awakening. His tone of voice and sudden pointedness of the latter half of his statement make the line utterly hilarious.
  Morgan: (quietly) Heh. I dug a pitfall nearby. Don't tell anyone.
  • In the same vein, one of female Morgan's castle quotes notes that there is a pitfall dug in the patrol route, also a nod to her supports from Awakening.
• While male and female Possessed Robin/Grima largely have the same quotes, their quote about letting you serve them is a bit different between the two of them. Male Grima seems quite sincere about the subject, while female Grima...
  Female Grima: You show promise, despite being human. Of course, that's like being the smartest worm in the dirt.
• Julius insists that he wasn't hunting children, merely educating his subjects. His idea of fun? Crushing bugs in a flower bed. He also doesn't mince words when visiting another castle.
  Julius: My name is Julius. I was forced to visit this tedious hovel by [Friend].
  • One of his voiced lines (even funnier given that Reinhardt is considered a Game-Breaker and a real pain in the butt to face):
    Julius: I cannot stand the sight of Reinhardt.
• One of Canas's castle lines has him hear about a Summoner in the Order of Heroes and tells you that he'd like to meet them. Now, who's been summoning all those heroes on your roster?
• Should you summon Olivia's flier alt, her falicorn just takes off as she introduces herself. Ostensibly something similar happens during one of her special activation quotes, in which she only utters a yelp.
• Walhart may be a menacing Evil Overlord, but his vegetarianism is as staunch as ever.
  Walhart: Those who stalk the battlefield must take the utmost care to maintain a strong heart and a robust body. In other words, you have to eat your vegetables!
• Nina's Shipping Goggles are as strong as ever, she's even taken to shipping weapons.
  Nina: Is it just me, or does your weapon share a special bond with Prince Alfonse's weapon? Hey, let's store them beside each other in the armory and see if any sparks fly!
• When Owain tries to greet the Summoner in one of his quotes, he can't seem to decide what title he should give them. This goes on for twenty seconds (making it the longest quote in the game) and the only reason why it is only so long is because the Summoner seems to walk away from Owain while he is still busy trying to decide on a title.
• One of Edelgard's quotes when you interact with her has her Freak Out when she sees what she describes as "My painting", questioning how you found it, before demanding you leave in an embarrassed and hurried tone. Her word line leaves it unclear if she meant you found a painting of her or found a painting she made ^note Presumably the latter, given how flustered she gets over her portrait of Byleth in Three Houses., but her embarassment breaks her usual stoic and calm tone.
• Aether Resort allows the heroes to interact with each other. One animation that can occur has one hero sneak and playfully poke another hero from behind, then whistle innocently when the other hero turns around. If the mischievous one is an otherwise serious character, it can be even funnier.
  • In particular, the Dining Hall and Field structures has character animations that can be very funny depending on who the character(s) are. For the Dining Hall, while the character itself has no placement on the quality of the dish created, having a character known to be a Lethal Chef (like Felicia) prepare a foul dish that causes the four other heroes to wince in pain can be hilarious. For the Field, one animation has the characters get chased off-screen by a bee. Depending on who the character is, it can be very hilarious to see Naga or Fallen Robin get frightened by a mere bee.
• Tsubasa says if a cat doesn't want to be pet, just talk to it. She then makes a really cute meow. Seems her conversation with Little Devil had a lasting effect on her.
• One of the Flame Emperor's idle quotes has them grumbling that their Cool Mask is sweltering.
• Hubert makes no effort to hide his displeasure with visiting other castles.
  Hubert: I come bearing well wishes on your friend's behalf. Please tell your friend I have more important things to do.
• This line from Brave Alm becomes this when bearing in mind the nature of many of the seasonal outfits:
  Brave Alm: So many Heroes here, and so many wearing such...exciting outfits! Has Celica worn anything like that too?
• Legendary Alm's level 40 line has him talk about his life as king and how it mainly is doing work at the castle barring really big battles and that he's happy to be able to out and fight like in the old days. It paints a picture of him stuck at a desk with paperwork. It's also on the heartwarming side as he promises never to forget this second chance you've given him.
• A voiced line from Apotheosis Anna has her congratulating Kiran on receiving a discount and encouraging them to leisurely browse her goods.... and then Rattling Off Legal. The abrupt switch in delivery from a cheerful shopkeeper to a voiced disclaimer one would hear in a radio ad adds to the hilarity.
  Anna: You've earned yourself a special discount! Go on. Browse my wares at your leisure. (One-time offer. Restrictions may apply. Offer may change without prior notice, and probably at time of checkout. You break it, you buy it.)
• One of Nowi's lines is to say you're doing a good job and request you bend over (yes, that's really what she said) so she can pat you on the head as a reward.
• One of Ash's voice lines, similar to Owain's quote above, starts with her rambling on about being welcomed to Askr, only for her voice to fade out, as it's implied the Summoner walked away while she was still talking.
• The way Cath introduces herself? By singing to the theme of the Fire Emblem main theme.
• Múspell is exactly as intimidating as a Fire God should be... except that he sounds like the edgy rival in a Shonen anime both in how he sounds and what he says.
• The first thing Etie does when she finishes introducing herself after being summoned is ask the Summoner where the training grounds are.
• Chloé's level 40 conversation begins with her catching herself staring at the Summoner.
• Duo Shamir & Catherine's voiced conversation involves Shamir wanting to just relax while Catherine is trying to get her to race her through swimming to a rock in the water. Shamir complains that she doesn't want to do it, which makes Catherine put some stakes; being if Shamir wins, Catherine will leave her alone. Shamir is quick to point out that she has to work to not work and that'd also make Catherine leave her alone (despite Catherine eagerly saying that's what partners do, adding to the confusion), until she gives up, much to Catherine's delight.
• In Gilliam's Lv.40 talk with the Summoner, some of his first words include a rather critical observation of the Summoner's build, calling their legs "scrawny." However, after Gilliam spends a moment talking about potentially putting the Summoner through a Frelian training regimen, he feels the need to renege on his criticism of the Summoner's physique, albeit just after the Summoner has bolted upon hearing Gilliam's talk of rigorous exercise, and is well out of earshot.
  Gilliam: Wait a minute, where are you going? Ahh... Maybe you do have pretty strong legs after all...
• Christmas Yunaka being overly excited about the Winter Festival that she imitates a turkey, then realizes it may have been a rooster.
  • This line:
  Yunaka (overly serious): Snow is good for cover...and for dumping bodies.
• Emblem Marth being surprised he can be touched in Askr.
• Duo Lyon and Eirika's conversation ends with Lyon left a stuttering mess after Eirika thanks him for helping her out in giving Ephraim a good gift:
  Lyon: Oh, uh... Yes. I, um... Actually, I am also grateful. For—er, to you! So... I-got-you-this-I-hope-you-like-it. ...

Story

• In Chapter 8 part 1, the player gets to face male Robin for the first time. While he couldn't have Chrom with him, he has other friends. Among the units joining him in the battle is one that puzzles him:
  Robin: Oh, uh, Tharja? Where'd you come from? Are you following me around again?
• In the "Family Bonds" paralogue, Ephraim suddenly diverges from his description of his bond with Eirika to angrily insult people who take their relationship the wrong way. For those who know the prevailing fandom opinion about the two, it's a hilarious reference. Eirika's reaction to his rant is not helping either.
  Ephraim: Ours is so strong that some fools dare to spread lies about us. Disgusting.
  Eirika: Ephraim, they are here to battle, not to hear you rant.
• Xenologue 1 manages to double-down on the Incest Subtext, with Veronica forcing Ephraim to prove the strength of his sibling bond.
  Eirika: B-Brother? What are you planning to...?
• The entire premise of paralogue 2-1. The premise is to prove which pair of siblings have the strongest bonds. And then you faced Klein and... Sanaki? This strange pair up is lampshaded in their conversation.
  Klein: But why am I here? I am not your brother.
  Sanaki: Nor I your sister. But... I am Sanaki, Empress of Begnion! The Apostle! The voice of the Goddess! And what's more, I refuse to let any other little sister to prove herself of greater standing than me. So, to battle!
  Klein: What have I gotten myself into this time?
  • What caps this off as funny is the fact that Clarine, Klein's actual sister, was already in the game as part of the initial Hero line-up. The poor man makes his debut and his own sister is nowhere to be seen!
  • If you check the news involving their focus, Anna's reaction is basically a Double Take noting this oddity.
• While Jaffar and Nino's chapter in Paralogue 3 is one of the biggest moments of heartwarming in the game, it is also entirely possible to read the scene as Jaffar getting savagely friend-zoned by Nino. (It's probably more to do with Nino's apparent age in her art and the writers wanting to avoid even a whiff of impropriety, but the timing is... ouch. Poor Jaffar.)
• It might just be a coincidence, but in what might possibly be a new record for fastest Ascended Meme ever, when defeated in Paralogue 3, Raven says Ephraim's "Disgusting" quote in the exact same manner, just in regards to running away defeated instead of any sort of implications of Incest Yay Shipping. It's even funnier when you consider that his sister Priscilla, who he made a Childhood Marriage Promise (albeit, not seriously) and who definitely has some Big Brother Worship going on, is right there next to him.
• Speaking of which, Raven manages to dodge the Incest Subtext completely by... not addressing poor Priscilla at all. On the other hand, he only converses with Lucius, turning up the Ho Yay factor instead.
  • Even funnier? This is completely in line with their original game, where Raven attempts to avoid Priscilla at all costs and demands Lucius to stay safe away from enemy lines.
• In Chapter 11, the second level is the game's first boat level, simply titled "Pirates!". One level after that there is an another boat level, this time called "More Pirates!" Considering that Gaiden is sort of famous for shoving the boat maps down your throat in Celica's first chapter, it becomes hilarious in a meta sense.
• A small example, but the end of Book II, Chapter 4 has Surtr, Xander, and Veronica arguing over whether to destroy an Askrian town, only for Loki to pop up and casually snark that the town they're arguing over is empty.
• Chapter 5 of Book II has Fjorm stating that she's sure her sister Gunnthrá is waiting for her in their homeland. If you've already summoned her, this can be unintentionally hilarious, particularly if you have them in a party together.
• Although a much more serious situation than Chapter 5, in Book II Chapter 7 Gunnthrá is burned alive by Surtr in front of her younger sister. Of course, as Gameplay and Story Segregation is in full effect, it doesn't matter if you have Gunnthrá in your team already, so Fjorm will break down over the dead story Gunnthrá and then immediately go into battle with her definitely-alive counterpart. Even funnier considering you're taking Gunnthrá and having her watch her own death.
• At the end of the first part of Book IV Chapter 6, after defeating the nightmare version of Veronica, Alfonse thinks everything is safe, but panics when he sees Veronica again.
  Alfonse: The nightmare is fading away!
  Veronica: ...Hey.
  Alfonse: Wh-what?! The nightmare's back!
  Veronica: Nightmare? How rude. We may be enemies, but... Nightmare?
  Alfonse: ...Don't tell me. You're the REAL Princess Veronica?
  Veronica: Yes. Of course. Do I appear not real in some way?
• At the end of the first part of Book IV Chapter 7, Mirabilis, being a Sleepy Head, decides that she is too tired and starts to sleep in the forest because it was comfortable, despite that her king Freyr was kidnapped by his sister Freyja in Dökkálfheimr. Veronica is not having any of this.
  Veronica: There's no time! If we keep fooling around here, this won't stay a place of comfort!
  Mirabilis: Hmm? B-because the dökkálfar will attack?
  Veronica: No. Because I will be forced to do something...drastic.
  Mirabilis: Heyyy... That's scary...
  Veronica: Get it together. It's time to go.
  Mirabilis: ...You, I am scared of... Let's be on our way then.
• Just before beginning the final map of Book V, Reginn demands Eitri to bring her dead brothers back. Eitri's response not only brings up the Fridge Logic of summoning dead characters from other worlds, but also Crosses the Line Twice.
  Eitri: Your friend there is the summoner. Summon new brothers from one of the infinite other worlds. Done! They may be slightly different from the brothers you knew, but... They will at least look the part!
• At the end of Chapter 5 of Book VI, Alfonse manages to convince Letizia that he's a heartless individual who killed his own father and will let his subjects die in order to take her down, convincing her to withdraw for the moment. Unfortunately, Alfonse also manages to convince Sharena of this, and she gets quite upset with him, apparently hitting him at least once. At that point, Alfonse and Sharena's mutual friend Zacharias arrives, and remarks, "...There never is a dull moment with you two, is there?", implying that this sort of thing happened all the time when they were in the Order of Heroes together.
• At the end of Book VII Chapter 5 Part 2, Seiðr presents to the characters the gate to Vanaheimr, only to realise she lead them to the wrong place. Her subsequent put-down of herself, Anna's words about having "different concerns" about Seiðr, Alfonse ultimately recognizing where exactly Seiðr was going and offering to lead her, followed by Part 3 being named "Goddess's Despair", with said despair being about going down in history as a goddess that gets lost easily. Let's just say that the graceful facade she projected in Part 1 is all but gone by that point.
• Seiðr's clumsiness doesn't end there: At the end of Book VII Chapter 8 Part 1, Seiðr reluctantly asks the Summoner if they would create a child with her, complete with a look of embarrassment and wording it in the worst possible way, making the scene really awkward. Even as a goddess, Seiðr is prone to making situations worse than she intends.
• In Book VII Chapter 3 Part 1, Sharena recalls that Nerþuz wants her to address her as a creature of the land. Sharena impresses Nerþuz by addressing her with cat puns.
  Sharena: Purr-lease, Meow-ther of the land...

Tempest Trials

• In the intro cutscene for the first Tempest Trials, we get both Male Robin/Female Robin and Lucina/"Marth" (aka Masked Lucina) interacting with each other. One wonders how this meeting of Alternate Selves went completely unquestioned by the characters.
• The start of the "Less Than Heroic" Tempest Trials is a hilarious change of pace compared to previous ones. After "Marth" explains what the Tempest is, he asks the Farfetched Heroes gang for their help, to which Dorcas immediately says "no". Marth is taken aback by his rather blunt answer, not being used to taking "no" for an answer in this regard. Joshua pipes in, asking if they're going to get paid for this (30,000 a piece, to be exact. You need to reach 30,000 points in the Tempest Trials to unlock Joshua at 5*). Since he has no money, Marth is about to leave before Mia says that she wants to help, but only because she feels sorry for him. Lute also offers to help, but only because she wants to flaunt her "natural superiority".
  • At the end, as everyone is celebrating, Joshua suddenly says he wants Marth to pay him, even though Marth doesn't have any money. Joshua says he'll accept an I.O.U. with a 100% interest rate per month, then offers to erase the debt if Marth can win a coin toss, resulting in Marth nervously switching between calling heads and tails.
• For the mini Tempest Trials "Stepping into the New Year", Marth calls upon the heroes and tells them that fate of the world rests in their hands. The heroes in question are the New Years versions of Azura, Camilla, Takumi, and Corrin. After they note their weapons, Marth wonders if they're being serious, lampshading the usual strangeness of seasonal weapons. Then Azura mentions how if she can wield a pine branch^note an actual wieldable Joke Item in Fates and emerge victorious, they can use the abnormal weapons just fine.
• In the "Invisible Ties" Tempest Trials, Female Robin meets Grima, who uses Male Robin as his avatar. While Robin is understandably confused and awkward, Grima finds the whole situation fascinating and offhandedly wonders if wanting to kill his female counterpart counts as self-loathing.
• At the beginning of the "Sweet Dreams" Tempest Trials+, Masked Marth does his usual intro to what the tempest is... only for Summer Young Tiki greets him as Mar-Mar. Masked Marth (who is obviously not Tiki's Mar-Mar), suddenly getting flustered, goes with it and claims himself as the Mar-Mar Tiki thinks he is, then Tiki asks why he's wearing a mask.
  "Mar-Mar": Well, you see... There's... There's a very good reason for that...
  Summer Young Tiki: Oh, don't tell me! Let me guess! It's because... Because Mar-Mar was... Hmm...
  "Mar-Mar": W-was? You mean "is"! The real Mar-Mar, I mean, the real Marth... Ahem, I am—
  Summer Young Tiki: I got it! We were splitting watermelons on the beach, and it was your turn, so you put on a blindfold!
  "Mar-Mar": Y-yes! That's exactly right. You're a good guesser, Tiki. I was in the middle of some special training. In fact, this mask helped me become quite the watermelon-splitting expert.
• The end of the "Familiar Faces" Tempest Trials+ has Dorcas tell Marth that Joshua wanted to see Marth again about a bet they had. After a brief acknowledgement, Marth suddenly decides to leave, prompting Dorcas to say, "Turned tail and ran..." This suggests that Marth lost his bet against Joshua and currently owes him a massive debt. That this is happening to Lucina of all people makes it even funnier.
• Tempest Trials+: Life Is But Fleeting opens with Fae experiencing how difficult it can be to keep balance on ice. Immediately afterward, however, she gets the hang of it and even starts skating on the ice.
  Fae: Ice is so...so...so...slippery! Whoa! Now, spin, spin, spin around... Wow! This is amaaaaazing!
• The end of the "Heating Things Up" Tempest Trials+, "Marth", soaked after battling in the springs, reminisces on how he himself went to a hot spring and wore a Yukata. Interested, Ryoma asks if he can join him in the men's hot springs and talk about his experiences. "Marth", however, grows flustered and blurbs up his words as he turns down Ryoma's request, in which Camilla states that it would be more fitting if "he" went to the women's hot spring, in which "he" messes up "his" words more. Stuck in a Morton's Fork situation where going to either of the baths will reveal "Marth's" secret and make "him" uncomfortable and embarrassed, "he" decides to get out while "he" still can, still soaked from fighting near the water.
• "Taste of Spring" summed up in two words: Felicia's cooking. It's so bad that it gets affected by - or perhaps even caused - the Tempest that interrupts the picnic. And poor Masked Marth doesn't catch a break, getting invited to the picnic after clearing the Tempest, making an honest prayer to Naga that she'll survive the ordeal...
  Felicia: Even the picnic goodies I made have returned to their original color!
  Masked Marth: Wh-what?! H-how cou- That sickly nightmare purple was the goal? It doesn't even look like anything I would call food...
  Felicia: Heehee... This one turned out way better than my last few attempts. I'm pretty proud of it, actually!
• The "Life & Death 2" ending has Ymir revealing that she started looking after Eir when she was born, until Ymir says she always changed Eir's diapers, much to Eir's embarrassment, who cuts her off before she can finish the word.
• The "Summer Lifestyle" intro involves Shamir and Catherine trying to relax while alone, until pretty much all the other students (with Altina tagging along) show up and pester them for attention, much to their chagrin. Catherine tries to shoo them off until Female Byleth and Rhea show up, the latter which makes Catherine give up rather easily to the crowd, annoying Shamir.
• The "Nihility & Dream Finale" has the Christmas story involving Dimitri being the winter envoy to his team. He ends eavesdropping on them, who don't really have high hopes for him delivering the right presents. Then they wonder if he'll gift them weapons, to which Ingrid mentions she won't know how to react if she happens to find a lance in her stocking, and Annette follows up by saying the stocking would need to be really long to hold a lance.

Forging Bonds

High Tea Jinks (Flora, Nina, Ophelia, Silas)

• The Forging Bonds event High Tea Jinks feature various shenanigans with Alfonse and the Fates representatives.
  • Flora, Silas, and Ophelia set off to find the tea leaves that will soothe the drinker as Alfonse guides them, while Nina hides in a barrel to spy on Alfonse and Silas.
  • During the C rank event, Ophelia ponders how she feels chills during the trek, only to find that it was only due to Flora's icy aura.
  • During Ophelia's B rank event, she lampshades how many "chosen ones" there are in Askr and feeling like she isn't standing out.

Dueling Desires (Loki, Aversa, Owain, Kliff)

• Owain and Kliff's interactions during the Brave Redux paralogue and the Forging Bonds event Dueling Desires are priceless, with Owain's love for theatrics and Kliff, being the Only Sane Man of the group, wanting none of it. Kliff even objected to being called "Villager Ablaze" by Owain during the Forging Bonds introduction.
  • Owain's C rank conversation has him baffled that he ran into Odin, his Fates Alternate Self.
  • Owain's B and A rank conversations are about Owain trying to give a second name to your Breidablik. You turn him down, of course, but in his S Rank conversation, you explain that Breidablik already has a second name, and uttering it would warp space and time. He then asks you to start posing with him. Anna and Alfonse just happen to be eavesdropping...
    Alfonse: I had no idea the Breidablik had a legend of that...severity...behind it...
    Anna: I, um... Yeah... Pretty sure that's just a load of-

Hearts as One (Tibarn, Leanne, Reyson, Nailah)

• The Forging Bonds event Hearts as One: Leanne was encouraged to speak with other heroes to improve her speech. Come her A rank conversation, Reyson rushes to Alfonse showing concern about her. Turns out she decided to speak to some questionable folks and picked up their quirks.
  Leanne: Ha ha ha ha...
  Alfonse: Er...
  Leanne: I am strong... I am clever...
  Alfonse: Oh, no. Don't tell me... I know who she's been talking to. Leanne... He's...abnormal. Find someone else to talk to.

The Orb Case (Keaton, Velouria, Kaden, Selkie)

• The Forging Bonds event "The Orb Case" revolves around the kitsune trying to figure out who stole the Orbs from the summoner. The culprit, as revealed in the A rank segment? Anna, who was testing a new case to sell and used the Orbs as test contents. Awkwardness ensues.

Reason to Fight (Idunn, Sue, Lugh, Thea)A Trust Earned (Caineghis, Lethe, Ranulf, Mordecai)

• In "A Trust Earned", Mordecai's conversations involve the surprise appearance of Fjorm. Fjorm's normally calm and dignified personality causes the silliness she gets into to be much funnier than normal, such as being embarrassed that Mordecai can smell her, and trying to become friends with animals by scattering food and wearing cat ears.

Spanning Time (Nah, Brady, Yarne, Kjelle)

• In Kjelle's C support, while in a mock battle resembling Rival Domains, Kjelle was knocked out. When she came to, she remembered that a "knight in black armor" came out of nowhere and took her down in one attack. The image of either the Black Knight using Wings of Mercy or Zelgius using his Warp Powder and taking down Kjelle with a charged up Black Luna is amusing enough.
  • In Kjelle's A support, Brady tells her that he was training with a monk, but did a number on him "with this smile on his smug mug". Looks like Brady is another victim of Azama and his Pain+ and Double Savage Blow.
  • In Kjelle's S Support, she was beaten by a demonic giant carrying a pumpkin. Poor Dorcas was mistaken for a demon in his Halloween costume.
  • In Brady's C support, Fjorm's reaction to Brady is to run away. She thought Brady was going to rob her money and run when poor Brady was going to tell her his admiration.

Joining Forces (Byetlh (Female), Claude, Edelgard, Dimitri)

• In Claude's support, in an attempt to find a sneaky way to defeat the enemy, he makes a powder from poisonous mushrooms. Only problem is that he accidentally inhales some of the powder.

A Time to Shine (Phina, Norne, Nagi, Sirius)

• Phina tries to have everyone stand out compared to other heroes by wearing accessories. When things aren't going her way, she suggest Sirius to put a dramatic performance.
  Phina: Sirius already has a mask... Maybe he could show up places and put on some kind of of dramatic performance? "The Great Sirius, masked wanderer and knight who fights for true love!" ...Something like that—but better?
  Sirius: ...Never.
• Phina continues to deliver in her Support chain, roping Fjorm, Silvia and Olivia into trying to answer the Riddle for the Ages of why dancers don't dance for dancers. The given explanation, other than that it would obviously be a Game-Breaker for multiple reasons, is that this was attempted by a pair of dancing goddesses that kept it up for a hundred days... and spontaneously died by Heroic RRoD immediately after.
• Norne's conversations has her wonder about a divine voice who wanted to guide her as she tries to find someone who will train her. The owner of said voice, as revealed in her S rank conversation? Setsuna, who has once again fallen into a trap.
• In Nagi's supports, Sharena tries to find some similar Heroes to help with her Identity Amnesia. Instead of finding Tiki and Naga like you would expect, she finds... Robin, Deirdre and both Morgans, in other words other amnesiacs. The conversation goes about as well as you'd expect.

Common Virtues (Valentian Catria, Silque, Python, Forsyth)

• Catria's C and B rank conversations have Florina and Shanna, respectively, mistaking Catria for one of their own sisters.
• In Python's A rank conversation, Fjorm demands that he teach her about slacking off, in an effort to learn about human nature. The S rank conversation reveals that Python decided to train instead of skip it like he usually does just to get away from Fjorm.

Path to the Future (Mareeta, Eyvel, Gerik, Tanya)

• Osian's conversations feature him being welcomed to the Community of Hatchet-Operating Persons, also known as CHOP, a group of fellow axe wielding Heroes such as Bartre, Arthur, and Dorcas. Other members such as Legion and Libra show up in higher ranks.
  • Apparently, they initially wanted to name their group AXE, but Arthur said that they couldn't find a fitting word that began with X.
  • The S-Rank conversation reveals that CHOP was secretly created by Commander Anna, both to encourage various axe wielders to do better in battle... and force them to buy new weapons from her more often.

Study in Crimson (Rath, Leila, Nils, Fiora)

• The team's whole stalking on Anna because she's apparently everywhere.
• Fiora's deranged attempts to break romantic affairs as to avoid people from getting distracted in battles. Fjorm is thoroughly overworked. Special mention goes to Fiora mistaking Shigure and Libra for a couple while they were busy talking about painting landscapes. For added hilarity, a talking barrel (Nina, whom the game never tries to reveal her identity or her name) yells at Fiora to go away or else she'll ruin their potentially "romantic" moment. Fjorm is utterly exasperated that Fiora is seriously arguing with the barrel and tells her to please stop.
  • Fiora calling out Fjorm for her skirt being too short. Go on, take a gooooood look at Fiora herself, and also remember the fact that she has a Summer variant. It's so unbelievably hypocritical that it manages to be funny and infuriating at the same time.

Harmony amid Chaos (Ferdinand, Lysithea, Bernadetta, Annette)

• Ferdinand, Annette, and Lysithea attempt to have Bernadetta leave her room. Efforts include leaving a trail of food for her out the door and, in the A rank conversation, host war council meetings in her room. Efforts end up in vain as Bernadetta decides to move to the room next door and lock it.
• Bernadetta knitting a hat. However, the hat covers her whole face but leaves two holes for her eyes to see through. Sharena can't help imagine it and laugh, much to Bernie's chagrin. After accepting Sharena's offer to be her friend, Bernadetta outlines as many rules as she can in order to keep Sharena away from her.
• Played for Drama, but Ferdinand became disgusted talking to Oliver because he reminded him of his father Ludwig.
• Annette made a very tasty stew. The problem? She somehow ended up with that while trying to make custard.

The Fire Within (Midori, Forrest, Rinkah, Lilith)

• Rinkah's series of conversations has her take on other strong ladies in sumo matches, ending up against Cherche, where Rinkah ends up insulting Minvera and finding out just why Cherche is the "Scariest when angered" among the Shepherds. And this is after Rinkah was informed of the other woman's strength. The more you're familiar with Cherche the more hilarious it is because she is someone who as a young cleric, decided to go tame herself a Wyvern and proceeded to do.

Peaceful Ends (Fallen Ike, Fallen Julia, Fallen Lyon, Fallen Corrin (Male))

• Fallen Julia's conversation series revolves around Elise, Mae, and Cecilia recruiting Julia to play in a Magical Girl-based theater production for the kids...while she's in her possessed state. Hilarity Ensues. Takes a turn for the heartwarming once you get to the S Support too.

Shape of a Spirit (Kris (Male), Julian, Lena, Kris (Female))

• In Female Kris' C rank support, she tries to cook soup to meet up with demand for food. Male Kris, who knows how his cooking goes, knows where this is leading to. Fjorm asks what is that smell, with Female Kris offering her soup to her, but Male Kris was too late to warn her when Fjorm ate it, resulting in Fjorm being knocked out for some time.
• In Female Kris' B rank support, the both of them know that their cooking is bad and looks for someone to teach them how to cook. The first person they run into to teach them is Felicia.
  Felicia: You want to learn to cook? Easy! Leave it to me—a perfectly capable and totally competent maid!
• Luckily, in the same conversation, Jakob was there to wring her out of teaching them by having himself teach them, but he has them try to cook their best dish to gauge their cooking skills. Somehow, their cooking is even worse than Felicia, with her knowing that there is at least water in stew, with their cooking being compared to chopped laundry.

A New Future (Brave Lysithea, Brave Claude, Brave Edelgard, Brave Dimitri)

• When Lysithea asks the three Fódlan lords to get along, it's implied she was eyeing Edelgard intently as she says this. Edelgard reacts accordingly.
• Lysithea asks the three Fódlan lords to plead their case as to why you should side with them. She addresses Edelgard and Dimitri formally, while Claude gets shafted.
  Claude: Hey now, what about MY fancy title? Ah well.
• The first cutscene of the event features Dimitri and Edelgard uncomfortably staring at each other.
  Edelgard: ...
  Dimitri: ...
  Claude: So. How about this weather?

Timeless Ties (Shinon, Ilyana, Jill, Gatrie)

• Shinon encounters other archers and finds their lack of discipline disturbing, especially with regards to bow maintenance. Even more, everyone seems to already know him despite him just arriving in Askr; it turns out Rolf told everyone about him. Also, since the regular version of Rolf isn't in the game, just his Halloween version, Shinon asks why he is dressed as a Bedsheet Ghost. When he gets to Setsuna, she is outright trying to convince him to help her with her bow by sending him indirect signals.
• Ilyana is invited to the "Heavy Plate Corps", a group of Big Eaters by her Halloween counterpart. Effie is naturally there, but Rinkah contends that she never joined any such club.
• Gatrie is still Looking for Love in All the Wrong Places. After getting brushed off by Fjorm, he sets his eyes on Thrasir, ignoring the fact that she is very obviously DEAD, and very obviously not interested.

Principled Acts (Merlinus, Melady, Dieck, Guinivere)

• Merlinus is considered by many fans to be the absolute worst character in the game outside of being used as Skill fodder, and apparently even Merlinus himself is aware of this. During his Support chain, he claims that the Summoner wasn't very happy to see him.
  Merlinus: When I came through the gateway, did the summoner not sigh in clear disappointment? "Oh, Merlinus..."

Driven by Vision (Knoll, Natasha, Duessel, Selena)

• Knoll is worried about his reputation as a dark mage, but he encounters other dark mages like Henry and Tharja whose actions completely baffle him. When he meets Odin, Knoll completely takes Odin's ramblings seriously which temporarily makes Odin break character in awe of Knoll's analysis.

Shared Purpose (Miranda, Sara, Asbel, Ronan)

• Sharena asks Sara to read her own mind, who basically describes Sharena's mind as loud and bright like a trumpet. Players who are caught off-guard by Sharena's voice on the title screen of the game would agree with the description.

Enduring Legacy (Azelle, Annand, Lex, Erinys)

• CHOP reappears to try to recruit Lex, but a rival organization of more sophisticated axe users called the Hatchet Aspirational Committee of Knowledge (HACK) also shows up to compete for him. Lex turns them both down, and it turns out that Anna also created HACK to compete with CHOP and spur even more axe sales.
• Erinys completely freaks out when Ced - her son - shows up and reveals he's her son, when she hadn't even considered loving whoever his father is (being Lewyn).
  • She later goes to discuss what happened to her to Fjorm. When she asks Fjorm if any of her children had met her, Fjorm promptly freaks out.

Seeds of Fódlan (Ingrid, Linhardt, Dedue, Marianne)

• Ingrid was told of a group of knights that are willing to train with her, and Eir escorts her. Except...Eir was actually Xane, and he sent her to join with the Heavy Plate Corps. By the end of the chain, not only has the Heavy Plate Corps succeeded in getting Ingrid to join, but Halloween Ilyana has the bright idea of, much like she did to her normal self, having normal Ingrid recruit Summer Ingrid!
• Dedue and Felix have a tense confrontation...but it's ruined by the fact Felix is in his Christmas look. Even better, Dedue doesn't even comment on the wardrobe change.
• Linhardt is surprised to find a kindred spirit in Mirabilis. As in, they meet in his dreams where she's trying to find a place to sleep. After being surprised, Linhardt decides to join her and naps in his own dream.
• Marianne is worried about her Crest bringing bad luck to the Order of Heroes, so Lilith decides to introduce her to Arthur, whose bad luck is the stuff of legends. Marianne is left befuddled when he describes an "average morning" for himself (nearly getting run over by a carriage, falling in a ditch and getting stuck for about an hour, and then doubling over from a stomachache after getting out due to his breakfast being a bit more spoiled than he thought it was).

Bonds of Trust (Erk, Louise, Pent, Farina)

• Farina is left beside herself when she learns about various special cases of Pegasus Knights, such as Subaki (who is a male Pegasus Knight when she's always believed they could only be female), Eir (who rides a black pegasus which is an incredibly rare breed from her homeland but quite common in Askr), and Tsubasa (who's riding a mechanical pegasus through the sky), promptly fainting in shock at the last one since she sees it all as trampling over her own worth as a Pegasus Knight.

Forces of Will (Morgan (Male Fallen), Edelgard (Fallen), Dimitri (Fallen), Morgan (Female Fallen))

• While all the other Fallen Heroes are dealing with darker subject matters, Fallen Female Morgan finds herself exasperated by her cheerful normal self and her attempts to try and be buddy-buddy. This leads to the otherwise serious Fallen Female Morgan just trying to find any excuse to get away from her counterpart.

Decided Future (Valentian Palla, Luthier, Tatiana, Zeke)

• When practicing salves, Tatiana tested a salve from Midori on Brady. However, it appears she took out a bottle of hot sauce from the castle pantry instead of the salve she placed there. Brady wasn't thrilled.

Keepers of Faith (Brave Marth, Brave Marianne, Brave Gatekeeper, and Brave Eirika)

• The Gatekeeper sees Donnel's pot helmet as a Riddle for the Ages as he allows Donnel to pass.
  • His S rank conversation has him consulting a list made by Sharena and asking for the names of the Heroes who want to pass. The first, Naga, is straightforward enough. The three that follow her are Surtr, Hel, and Freyja.
• For Marth's S rank conversation, Fjorm shares with the Askr trio a speech that Marth told her regarding how the heroes too want peace in Askr. Anna then announces that she's planning on a book of motivational speeches to fetch some more money. Fjorm's not buying that idea.

Abyssal Light (Constance, Yuri, Balthus, Hapi)

• Hilda once again attempts to be the voice of reason for Balthus in his conversation series. Unfortunately for her, his tendencies to pick fights with whoever looks strong enough (in this case, Helbindi and Tibarn) only add to her frustrations, even going as far as to threaten Balthus to have the Summoner summon her brother Holst. Balthus swears that he'll turn a new leaf, then the scene cuts to Gerik and Joshua consider betting on whether he will, only to decide against it as it won't be much of a bet.
• Sharena, Boey, and Lute decide to spy on Hapi and wait for her to sigh in preparation to fight any monster to see if the rumors were true. Hapi knows of this and soon decides she's had enough and lets out a sigh... only for Legion to show up, which Boey mistakes for a monster. As no monster appeared, everyone thinks Hapi is safe from monsters in Askr... Only for the scene to cut to Gatekeeper and Alfonse talking about having just slain a terrifying monster, with no idea where it came from. Afterwards, Lute says she felt like they may have forgotten something important, but disregards it nonetheless.

With Conviction (Malice, Wolf, Vyland, Roshea)

• Malice's Forging Bonds support chain continues where Balthus's last left off, with Balthus gambling his money away recklessly. Malice decides to lend a hand and forces Balthus to get a job so that he would think twice before blowing away his own money.

Embracing Fate (Volke, Tanith, Astrid, Marcia)

• Once again, we're given an example of a hero's "original" meeting a previously-released self seasonal. In this case, Tanith meets Bride Tanith (and later still, Bride Sigrun after speaking with normal Sigrun!). Hilarity Ensues.
  Tanith: WHAT IN THE GODDESS'S NAME IS GOING ON HERE?!

Dueling Spirit (Priam, Flavia, Basilio, Miriel)

• Instead of a normal battle, Miriel decides to do a reading duel in her match against Peony. Peony doesn't go beyond the table of contents before dozing off, giving Miriel the win.
• Basilio versus Anna looks like it's going to be a fight between axe wielders...until Anna calls in Wealth Wisher Anna, who shoots him from a distance with a bow and claims victory. After all, an Anna fought him and won. What's even more hilarious is that Wealth Wisher Anna is a red bow unit, which hard counters Basilio pretty hard.

Charting a Path (Kent, Guy, Ascended Florina, Sain)

• Kent pledges his loyalty to Lyn and promises to aid her. After that, multiple versions of Lyn come to meet up with him and make him a confused mess of whom he has to serve from all of them, added with the fact that there are other Elibes.
• Sain talking to other skirt-chasers (and Soleil) and showing off his superb memory in recalling each and every single female in the army. And then being dragged into a strategists' meeting to analyze the various units for certain scenarios, which turns into a bad time for him when he can't even remember anything about the male members of the army and his ruse is revealed then and there. Sain especially remembers the very nasty glare Female Robin shot at him.

Heart and Soul (Kamui, Ascended Celica, Atlas, Valentian Est)

• At the start, as a nod to Shadows of Valentia, Anna makes a request for Celica to resist the urge to break any crates or urns. She also mentions that any time Alm arrives she had to say the same to him.

Weave of Fate (Brave Byleth (Female), Brave Tiki (Adult), Brave Seliph, Brave Chrom)

• In Byleth's S rank conversation, she comes across Sothis having a "peculiar dream."
  Sothis: Mm… You must…join Smash…
• The characters' gifts feature: an ornate tiara from Byleth, a pretty ribbon from Tiki, and a fancy crown from Seliph. What's Chrom's gift? A piece of rubble that came from a wall he broke from training. The EX version even comes with a lizard!

The Path's End (Shez (Male), Shez (Female), Ascended Hilda, and Monica)

• Unlike the Krises; the Shezes aren't even remotely fazed that an opposite gender clone exists of them. They simply accept it and even take advantage of it like swapping jobs or intruding into each other rooms as to both them; they're still the same person.

New Awakening (Rearmed Ophelia, Dwyer, Caeldori, and Kiragi)

• The team's exasperation towards Ophelia attempting to destroy the Order of Heroes by truly believing she's a villain taken by the dark forces of her tome. This all ends with her getting a reality check in the form of an annoyed Dwyer fetching her father so he knocks some sense into her. She's mortified when she learns everything wasn't All Just a Dream.
• Ophelia ironically clicking so well with Lissa because of Lissa's strange vocabulary, which endears Ophelia.
• Dwyer, once again, decides to skip practice so he can be lazy. However, he stumbles upon lazy Hero after lazy Hero (Python, Mirabilis, and Haar) hiding out themselves so they can have naps in peace, which make him worry that the Order of Heroes is a mess of unreliable people that he takes it upon himself to go back to training so he's not counted among the rest of the lazy Heroes.

Emblems, Heroes (Alear, Chloé, Céline, and Alfred)

• Alear learns that her Emblem Ring powers don't work in Askr, but when she meets the real Marth in the group C conversation, she nevertheless is compelled to try to "Engage" with him. Marth, unsurprisingly, has no idea what she's doing.
• Alfred makes a similar mistake.
  Céline: Great Hero-King, please accept my sincerest apologies on behalf of my brother. I am certain his intentions were good, and that he was only trying to help you "engage" with the Divine Dragon. But that does not excuse the way he grabbed you by the arm and spun you around. And it certainly does not excuse his presumptuous invitations to "go for a run" when this is over.
  Alfred: Yeah, I should have realized your arm is way too solid to be an Emblem's. I hope you can forgive my rudeness.

Her Shining Future (Syrene, Rearmed Tana, Gilliam, and Vanessa)

• Tana sneaks off to provide food to people affected by the war so that she can do more than just being a soldier. The thing is, she didn't tell her little group that she was doing community service because Syrene is too stiff and regal-like to be seen among people in need.
• Anna requests Syrene's fishing skills to fish the Askran perch and perhaps the mythical Leviathan to replicate the fish dish from Magvel. Joined up by Fjorm, Leonie, and Darros, all of them attempt to fish the big fish, but are met with mixed results:
  • They first fish out Bartre of all people.
    Leonie: Wh-what in the- You fished up a man?! And a rugged one too!
  • They then fish out a much larger shadow, which turns out to be just Nah taking a dip while in her dragon form.
  • Once they eventually hook the Leviathan, while they're all combining their strength to reel it in, Anna says trying to catch Leviathan is much less like fishing than fighting in a Rokkr Siege.
  • When they actually manage to fish it out, it turns out its scales are way too thick to cut with a knife or even a weapon and give up on trying to cook it.
• Still intent on learning how to use magic, Vanessa takes Merric's tutelage to give it another shot. After a while, when Lute goes to see Vanessa and meets Sharena, Sharena wonders where Vanessa is.

  Lute: At your feet.

  • Cue Sharena just noticing Vanessa was sprawled on the floor between the two of them.
• While Caspar is exercising so he can defeat Gilliam in arm wrestling, Alfred stops by to observe Caspar. When Caspar asks him who he is, Alfred does not give his name, only calling himself a "passerby who loves a good physique," then quickly leaves. Caspar does not give it a second thought and continues training until Gilliam arrives, too.

New World of Study (Felix, Sylvain, Rhea, and Rearmed Ingrid

• Sylvain calls Sain middle-aged, hurting his feelings.
• Once Rhea finally musters up the courage to sit and dine with the rest of her students, she sits next to an elated Annette, who's quickly squished because Catherine felt too jealous and worthy of sitting next to Rhea.
• Ingrid becomes interested in wearing a mask because it would make her achieve her wish of being a chivalrous knight come true easy after being saved by Sirius and being awed by his mysterious flair. Fjorm really isn't buying it.
  • Ingrid later goes to Apotheosis Anna to buy a mask (Lucina's mask), which she's selling with many zeroes on it at its "original" price.
    • Despite Ingrid being on the fence about buying the mask, Anna herself tells her (against her merchant ways) that many maskless heroes are doing just fine in being chivalrous knights in the order and don't need masks to become like that, which helps Ingrid in realizing she was being too superficial on her appearance... Cue Anna then offering to sell the mask half-off, which leaves Ingrid stuttering about buying it.
    Fjorm: Ingrid, no! Remember the spirit of chivalry!

Unworked Pride (Diamant, Lapis, Alcryst, and Citrinne)

• Alfred decides to help Diamant's apparent loneliness with his lack of retainers by having Alfonse and Sharena fill in for them.
  • When Sharena runs out of ideas about how to behave as a retainer, Diamant describes them how Amber and Jade are like; a Cloud Cuckoo Lander and a famous novelist who finds inspiration in said Cloud Cuckoo Lander's antics. Alfonse immediately realizes they may have bitten more than they can chew because they can't possibly replace those roles, but then he suddenly tries to attempt doing it, much to Sharena's surprise.
    • After both of them try to emulate Jade and Amber, Sharena tried to write a novel, which to Diamant sounded more like a diary. Alfonse then comes back covered in mud because he dug a ditch and then purposely fell into it (because he had no hope in emulating Amber's unwitting chaos but Alfonse tried to cause intentional chaos) and was embarrassed when people saw him doing all that and were explained why. At least Diamant cheered up.
• Lapis gets mistaken as an extremely dutiful retainer to Alcryst when Frederick catches her picking up herbs (she was going to eat them) and stones (she was going to craft something) thinking she was cleaning the road.
  • When she tries to make up with Frederick, she has the misfortune of giving him bear meat, which he utterly abhors and faints upon having to eat it.
• Alcryst completely exasperates Leo with his endless self-deprecation before Leo has to leave to take care of some tomatoes.
• Anna's monetary troubles come to an end thanks to Citrinne's extreme generosity in getting high-priced gemstones, which makes Anna feel very empty inside because she didn't really work for any of it.
  • When Citrinne later gives her a deed for a large plot of land in Brodia, Anna manages to make a killing out of it with many of the wealthy heroes buying pieces of it...despite the fact none of them can go to Brodia. They just want to brag they own land in another world.

Turn of Fate (Brave Corrin (Female), Brave Soren, Brave Gullveig, and Brave Robin (Male))

• Gullveig is checking out Askr Castle, and keeps ending up in the library. Despite all that has happened to her, she still has Seiðr's horrible sense of direction.
• Soren's conversation series has his encounters with his young self. While heartwarming, there is also no shortage of hilarity, from Mia and Mist's bafflement regarding seeing two Sorens in the same place to the older's exasperation with the younger following him around everywhere.

Guiding Vision (Attuned Triandra, Rearmed Sonya, Attuned Peony, and Mycen)

• Sonya gets hit on by Hugh, who actually wanted to offer her help to look for a way to restore her sisters from their witch curses, but she brushes him off until he brings up his offer. She asks him if "that line usually works for [him]," to his chagrin. Cue Sonya wondering if she should even bother with Hugh since he's a far-cry from being trustworthy.

  Hugh: You just said that out loud, you know!

• Apparently, Plumeria has gotten so sick of humans because she's caused way too many a Male Gaze lusting for her.
• Triandra is exasperated by people asking her to give them nightmares:
  • The first is Tharja, who wants to suffer a strong nightmare in order for her to give her curses better effects through inspiration. And in case Triandra's nightmare turns out to be too much for Tharja to bear, she'll just relish finding solace with Robin trying to comfort her (if it happens).
  • The second is Linhardt, who wants to have nightmares so that he can stay awake during lectures to avoid falling asleep. The idea only causes him to sleep MORE often, but he thinks it's the best thing ever anyway, much to Triandra's confusion.
• Mycen gets to talk to Rudolph, only, once more a seasonal hero in a flashy outfit is released before the original version, so he talks to the Day of Devotion version of Rudolph.

Hope Held High (Severa, Inigo, Laurent, and Rearmed Lucina)

• Severa being beside herself knowing that her future self Selena is around, who can't say much to her. Severa, being Severa, complains that Selena may take away attention from herself. This also makes her consult with (an annoyed) Brady about it, as they both had established the S&B Society.
  • Once Severa settles a bit of Selena's ambiguity, they both decide to make the S&S Society.
• Inigo is led to take dancing lessons with Halloween Seadall, though the mystique Seadall exudes goes down the moment his stomach growls loudly.
• Laurent scolds Charlotte for her overexpending on Askr's money coffers on cosmetics, but he decides to overlook it in the end as long as she can work harder to make up for it, not without telling her to be harsher to him. Charlotte is left a little bewildered he told her that.
• Lucina being scouted by Bartre to join CHOP, though she will soon consider membership for it.
  • As Lucina feels guilty for borrowing Marth's name and can't bring herself to speak to him out of shame, it turns out all the other Lucinas encourage her to apologize to him with all of them in tow. Thankfully, Marth is relieved to hear that his name went down in history as a Hope Bringer and thanks them all for it...
    • ...only the Masked Marth version of Lucina was hiding behind a pillar and was too late to get in on the compliment, much to her dismay.

Crossing Paths (Lara, Tina, Safy, and Rearmed Reinhardt)

• In Lara's S-Support conversation, she and Inigo spend their time practicing dancing until Perne arrives at the scene, revealing to have been watching them. Both Lara and Inigo end up asking such obvious questions, much to his annoyance.
  Lara: Perne?! H-how did you get here?
  Perne: How did you? The summoner bright me here, obviously.
  (A few seconds later)
  Perne: By the way, you. Yeah, you. The soft-looking fella.
  Inigo: A-are you talking to me?
  Perne: No, I'm talking to a stick. Of course I'm talking to you.

Thaw of Knowledge (Kagetsu, Hortensia, Rosado, and Ivy)

• The main story involves Hortensia and Rosado going off to avoid fighting enemies unprepared while Ivy and Kagetsu remain behind, until Lyn shows up.
  • Kent and Sain have a little fun trying to do the usual Engage Pre-Mortem One-Liner, mostly because it involves relying on Lyn's power.
  • Hortensia and Rosado come back and inform their group that they actually took care of the enemies themselves because they got reinforcements, which Rosado couldn't help drawing. When Ivy sees the painting, she's a bit shocked to see a legion of Lyns in many costumes fighting together.
• Kagetsu goes around wanting to spar with other swordsmen. Particularly, he ends up bumping with Lon'qu and asks for a match (after clumsily swinging his sword his way), but Lon'qu refuses. Kagetsu then tries to invite Lon'qu to spend time with him, which sounds a bit too off coming from a guy. Lon'qu then somehow surmises that Kagetsu is a woman and so he makes his exit, much to Kagetsu's dismay.
  • The event from above didn't get lost on a spying Niles, who proceeds to tease the hell out of Kagetsu with a lot of innuendos.
  • When he meets Seteth, who cordially greets him, he mentions that Seteth reminds him of Ivy "when she's angry."
  • After Seteth mentions a bunch of people are coming to the tea party, Kagetsu is convinced to come if it means it'll be easier to ask for sparring matches, though Seteth also mentions that the three people Kagetsu met prior will be coming too, so he'll try to make a better effort to hang out with them...except Niles. Definitely not Niles.
  • The kicker of his entire episode is that all of the people he meets and the ones Seteth mention happen to be voiced by the same person in the Japanese version of the game. This joke gets Lost in Translation, naturally, but there is an English variant when Kagetsu mentions he also felt a kinship with Wolt and Nils.
• Hortensia's quest to become a dependable big sister figure to mentor a younger girl in "the ways of cuteness" (be as good as her):
  • She first deems Annette worth her time, but Annette's clumsiness and Self-Deprecation muddying a princess turns Hortensia off.
  • She meets Fae and immediately deems her a little sister, until Fae bluntly tells her that she's a Divine Dragon and is way older than her. Cue Hortensia being extremely formal to her.
  • She gets excited with having both Elise and Sakura be two little sisters, until they're attacked and the girls start looking out after Hortensia and advice her to stay back so they can handle the situation.
  • She finally gives up and relates her experiences to Céline, who advises her that it doesn't matter how old she is or how younger other girls are because she'll be helpful either way... Except Céline casually mentions that Hortensia may even marry Alfred and she'll become Céline's younger sister-in-law.
    Hortensia: Um, wow... Heck of an example.
• Ivy's Support chain is one piece of hilarity after another:
  • During her C-Support, Ivy lets it slip how she regrets not being summoned sooner and have F!Alear all for herself. Alear doesn't hear that part clearly.
  • In her B-Support, Ivy warns Alear about seeing some sort of creepy shadow (she avoids saying "ghost") at the barracks, prompting Alear to patrol the area there, only to find, of all people, Halloween Hector (and Kid Lilina) coming back from a battle. After Lilina lets out the most adorable roar, Ivy freaks out, and starts screaming and hysterically telling everyone asleep that Alear is being attacked by a "cloaked hunter and a monstrous cat."
  • For her S-Support, the Heroes decide to throw a welcoming party for Ivy, inviting all of the Heroes to help ease her anxiety. Even though she is enjoying the party, she still feels like she saw a ghost that she described as "pale and was soaking wet". The Hero in question? Summer Ivy. Apparently, Summer Ivy was so excited to hear that her normal version arrived at Askr that she didn't dry herself off and kept her distance, not wanting to scare her. And when she tried to meet her before, she put on a dark veil, which didn't help things when Ivy saw her at night.
  • The two Ivys then start arguing when they both try to take Alear for themselves without the other Ivy. Alear's solution is that another version of her (either Male Alear, Legendary Male Alear, or Legendary Female Alear) is going to come soon anyway.

Hope's Flame (Arlen, Yuliya, Ascended Merric, and Attuned Caeda)

• Caeda is beside herself when she learns that many a Tall Tale have passed down about herself (and some of her companions) when she's not as incredible as the tales she's heard about. When she manages to make friends with the Ylisseans through a handshake, it only causes a very long line of people wanting to get a handshake out of her to become friends with a person like her, much to her dismay.
• Yuliya's attempts to have a retainer look after her. While all of them excel at giving her protection, she can't seem to stay with one for too long for reasons:
  • Raven's stiffness puts her off.
  • She can't deal with Leon practically smothering her to behave like a good child (like eating her vegetables).
• Sharena begins building a school of magic while Merric enlists a wide array of professors, though one of them is Linhardt, which Sharena giggles at because Merric better be ready to have someone make sure Linhardt doesn't fall asleep. Turns out Merric already enlisted both Byleths to check on him by taking turns.

Will into Action (Hayato, Yukimura, Attuned Azura, and Mozu)

• Hayato is encouraged by Yukimura to go see some of the other mages summoned to Askr. For the B and A-Supports, he runs into both of the mages of Plegia, Tharja and Henry, where the former stalks Robin (as you do) and the latter is his usual bloodthirsty (but friendly) self. Naturally, Hayato is scared off by these two.
  • A case of Dramatic Irony also happens where Hayato says he is glad that there are no Diviners in Hoshido like Tharja. Those who know exactly what his child is based on will have a good laugh about what is yet to come for him.

Heroes Journey

• The "Heroic Deals" Memento event involves the selected Heroes at a town to stock up on supplies. One Hero gives the other some money to purchase stuff. In the worst outcome, the only thing they got was...a loaf of moldy bread.
• "Life and Limb" has an zombie ambush the two selected Heroes in a cave. The best outcome? The zombie stops before it attacks the duo. The two Heroes are confused...until the zombie starts dancing. Then the two Heroes join in and dance with the zombie, all while "Howling Gears (Danceable Remix)" plays in the background. It has to be seen to be believed.
• "Stargazing" has the chosen Heroes watch the stars hoping for a shooting star. A dog walks up. The worst outcome has the rear Hero get distracted by the dog and miss the shooting star. If the distracted Hero is a villainous character or The Comically Serious, this makes it even funnier.
• In "Coastal Collection", the selected Heroes are out on a beach, looking for treasure. In the worst outcome, one of the Heroes picks up a shiny object...only to be attacked by a crab. The Hero then runs around in a panic, trying to shake off the crab.
• "Proper Nutrition" involves the chosen Heroes eating at a restraunt after battle. The best outcome involves the Heroes gobbling up endless supplies of large meat bones as the servant struggles to keep up.
• "Water Rations" has the Heroes seek refreshments from a nearby coconut tree. The worst outcome has only one fall onto the left Hero's head.
• The World Mirror was introduced during the fifth anniversary. In this mode, you get to spy on your sent Heroes and occasionally help them make decisions. Sometimes, they'll be in questionable places, like chilling in a snowscape while wearing a swimsuit.
• "Art of Armor" has the two Heroes try to reassemble a suit of armor on display. The middle outcome has the armor arranged in a...humorous pose.
• "Missing Partner" involves one of the chosen Heroes stuck in a hole inside of a cavern. In the worst outcome, the other Hero secures a rope to pull them out...only to lose their balance and fall right into the hole with them.
• In "Sand and Sea", the chosen Heroes decide to build a sand sculpture on the beach. The worst outcome involves one Hero being attacked by a crab that popped out of the sand castle that they had just built. The other Hero panics at first, but quickly gets distracted by a dog that runs to them...only for it to run into the sand castle and destroy it, all while the first Hero is still being assaulted by the crab.
• "Sandy Footrace" involves the chosen Heroes racing to snatch the flag at the finish on the beach. Every single outcome is funny in their own way:
  • The worst outcome has the two Heroes reach the end...but are unable to decide who won, so they decide to try again.
    They couldn't agree who got it first... Nothing 30 rematches can't settle!
  • The middle outcome has the two Heroes reach the end...only to be beaten by a single lone crab that happened to show up. Meanwhile, the two Heroes end up upside-down in the sand, heads buried.
    Surprise twist ending! ...A crab won?! No one can know their secret shame.
  • The best outcome has the two Heroes run past the finish line and continue running all day, not even worried about the competition.
    They kept running past the flag... The real victory was friendship!
• In "Spiraling Labyrinth", two Heroes are exploring a maze and come across a suspicious lever, which activates a trap that causes the walls to start closing in on them. The best outcome involves one of the Heroes switching off the trap by flicking the lever back...only for the other Hero to turn the trap back on again, and the two end up playing with the trap for a while by continuously flicking the lever on and off repeatedly.

Seasonal events

Spring Festival

• It's an Easter Egg event. Including Camilla, Xander, Chrom, and Lucina in bunny outfits.
  • Xander's Clothing Damage will show that he has an actual rabbit in his hat, something that never comes up anywhere else.
  • When Spring Lucina takes too much damage, her bunny hat somehow makes a sad face.
  • In the bulletin board introduction to the new heroes, there is normally a small comment about the hero's strengths. However, the spring character's quip is replaced with them commenting about their situation. Xander laments how he got goaded into wearing such outlandish outfit by his siblings (notably Camilla based on her comments), Chrom comments how frail his weapon is and misses Falchion and Lucina is snoozing off.
  • In part 2, Lucina seems to be rather oblivious to how Xander doesn't think that her egg is painted that well.
  • After clearing part 3, Sharena starts celebrating before Camilla comes and tries to rope her in to wearing a costume similar to hers. And while everyone is leaving, Xander makes sure to make you know that he doesn't usually dress like this.
  • In Camilla's bio when she's wearing her Spring Festival costume, it mentions that she started to like the outfit after Corrin said it was cute.
  • The fact that recurring antagonist Xander debuts as a playable character in this form before his regular one.
  • Spring Lucina's Special Skill quotes are a riot:
    "I say when winter's over!"
    "Spring gives me strength!"
    "You will not stop my festivity!"
    "Bunny blast!"
    • While Chrom shares all but the last quote with Lucina, it's much funnier coming from Lucina considering she's The Comically Serious.
  • Lucina's attack portrait looks like she is very excited to dunk the egg like a basketball.

Bridal Blessings

• This event is chock full of comedy, as shown in the trailer alone. To wit...
  • The ridiculous weapons the new Units have, including a bouquet (used as a Blue Tome by Caeda), a candle (used as a Staff by Lyn), and a giant spoon (used as a Lance by Charlotte). The spoon is even full of a helping of wedding cake — which splatters everywhere when Charlotte attacks.
  • Lyn's incredibly frustrated reaction to being stuffed in a fancy wedding dress.
    "This dress wasn't my idea!"
  • Anna wants to participate in the event and seize the bridal bouquet not to guarantee herself getting married, but to auction the bouquet off to someone who does want to get married.
    • And once she does get the bouquet, Charlotte points out that the bouquet's blessing specifically only works on the person who won it, not on whoever has it, making it worthless to anyone but her. Anna is not pleased with the realization.

Ylissean Summer

• Alfonse being horrified by the way Anna laughs as she goes out to make a profit from the swimsuit wearers.
  Alfonse: I know that laugh... That is not a good laugh.
• During the event, there's the return of the snapshot tome. Just like the Anna in Awakening's DLC, this game's Anna plans to capture pictures of the swimsuit-clad heroes for profit. At the end, once Anna gets the chance to take pictures Frederick delivers a letter from that world's Anna that a contract fee must be paid if there are images of heroes in swimsuit attire, and it's hefty. This game's Anna is outright shocked by the price.
• Anna's comment about Tiki and Female Robin's swimsuits just screaming "profit" is hilarious enough on its own. But it takes on a whole new level of funny when you consider it in a meta sense that Intelligent Systems knows fans will be more than willing to shell out some serious cash to try and summon these summer units. Males for Tiki and Robin, females for Frederick and Gaius... they are thirsty anyway.
• Gaius constantly expresses his disdain for the summer, specifically the heat (which melts all his candy) and having to wear a skimpy swimsuit (which he can't hide any candy in at all).
• After the Heroes Anna reads the Awakening Anna's letter and finds out she won't be able to take pictures to sell, she tries to force Frederick to hand over his seashells in a vain attempt to squeeze some profit out of the trip.
• Then Anna hopes for dear god the group picture she takes ends up leaking somehow so she can make money.
• A Black Comedy version: A closeup on Robin's trident shows a skewered fish still alive. Even when Robin is sufficiently damaged, the poor thing looks like it's begging to die after being broken off. Meanwhile the octopus in her pouch acts as if it's her minion.

Nohrian Summer

• While Corrin and Elise couldn't be happier to hit the beach, Xander and Leo are less than pleased. Xander is embarrassed because, despite usually being The Ace, he can't swim, and Leo doesn't like getting sun tanned.
• Xander has an extremely funny special line that is so blunt, it has to heard to be enjoyed.
  Xander: I cannot swim!
• The silly weapons are just as funny as they usually are. Special mention goes to Xander, who uses a Lilith Floatie beach toy as a makeshift Axe, and Leo, who uses a Red Tome that makes tomatoes rain from the heavens.
• Anna, still wanting to make a profit during summer, now decided to go after the Heroes of Nohr for pictures. Alfonse tries to get her direct her efforts to helping the Order, which Anna keeps on saying it is for the Order.
  Alfonse: Didn't you learn your lesson last time, Commander Anna?
  Anna: Nope!
• After getting the Nohrian Heroes where she wants them, Heroes Anna gets a letter from Fates Anna. At first she thinks that she is checking on her since they had a deal, it turns out that Fates Anna only gave her permission to take still images, and not moving images. And Heroes Anna just had to upgrade her tome to take those. And the fee to use moving images is even higher than the last time, causing Anna to have a Freak Out over the possibility of the Order going bankrupt.
• After getting her plans foiled again, Anna gets so desperate that she tries to get Alfonse, Sharena and even the player to dress up in swimsuits (while bluntly yelling at them to take their clothes off), causing the three of them to try to drag her back to the Castle.
• Just about everything Summer Leo says or does involves him complaining about the beach, often in a sarcastic manner.
  Leo: [after getting a level up with minimal stat gains] If you are disappointed by these results, then give me clothes.
• Instead of doing a casting pose during the start of the Player Phase, Leo uses his hand to keep the sun out of his eyes.
• All the characters in this banner say "Tropical Attack!" as one of their special quotes. While everyone else seems excited to say it, Leo sounds like he's wondering "What am I doing here?" Made funnier by the fact that this is completely in character for him, and that he's the only one in the group to be against going on vacation.

Trick or Defeat!

• Sakura's Sweet Tooth rivals Gaius's here. Her quotes are all related to getting candy, and she was entranced by the idea of a legendary candy during the paralogue.
  • Furthermore, her first line in the paralogue was to show concern for Nowi, thinking her to be a lost child—completely at odds with the childishness that she herself shows at all other times.
  • All her Special quotes are hilarious as they are adorable. Especially the cat pun on one of her original's Critical quotes in Fates.
    Halloween Sakura: It's all me-ow!

Winter's Envoy

• Tharja's holiday variant has the epithet "Normal Girl", quote marks included. Apparently she believes that a costume that goes way past Sexy Santa Dress and is basically a bikini with a cape is "normal" Christmas attire.
• The Winter's Envoy version of Tharja tries to repress her curse-happy tendencies and act merry, but she sometimes lets her usual self slip out.
  Holiday Tharja: For getting in the way of my "normal practice," I'll curse each and every one of you! Uh... No. That's not right. What I meant to say was... Let's all celebrate together!
• Holiday Robin uses a Christmas tree as a weapon, called the Tannenboom! (exclamation point included).
• Holiday Lissa's special 5-star level 40 conversation has her hand the summoner a self-prepared gift that's of a special winter festival drink and not a bottle of some random liquid, though she says she might have messed up the recipe. The summoner takes a drink, and afterwards Lissa is calling for someone to heal the summoner.
• One of Winter Chrom's character selection quotes is a rather drunken-sounding "Party?".
• One of Winter Chrom's quotes on the character screen has him conclude that the Falchion can be used to slice cake.
• One of Winter Chrom's special quotes is a twist on his regular version's "Our bonds give me strength!" line.
  Winter Chrom: Parties give me strength!
  • Winter Robin's "laughing" clip is literally him going "HO HO HO" in a deep, Santa-like voice.

Love Abounds

• While the other members of the banner change up their weapon specialties and are celebrating Valentine's Day, Hector only bothered to trade in his usual armor for a dress shirt; he's taking his Armads to a party, and his title is literally "Just Here to Fight".
  Valentine's Hector: In fact, I've got some questions for you... Why are you using those weapons? Do you even want to win?
  • As it turns out, there was supposed to be a festival that all of the characters are going to, which happens to have a tournament that Hector wants to enter, thus his title. More hilariously is that because Roy is coming, Lilina's best friend and potential love interest, as well as Eliwood, he probably carried Armads with him just in case.
  • That and there is the matter-of-fact way he announces it. Lyn makes a comment about how the weapons they carry are delicate, but fun to use. She then asks Hector what he brought and...
    Eliwood: Just keep one thing in mind, Hector, This is a festival. These weapons are for show, not for war. They're a bit delicate, so don't go all-out.
    Lyn: Delicate is right! Look at this gift box I've got... Using weapons like these makes the festival more fun, though. What have you got, Hector?
    Hector: Armads.
  • Even more hilarious is that typically, all characters on the event typically show up on the final map in the Paralogues. For this map we have the three lords of The Blazing Blade... and Lilina.
• Upon seeing Hector carry Armads into the fight, Lyn shows concern towards the opponents (your army). Once the map's cleared, she notices that she shouldn't worry about them at all...so she contemplates about bringing Sol Katti or Mulagir to the tournament, to Eliwood's chagrin.
• A slightly amusing little reference in Hector's attack lines. Back in the Performing Arts Banner, Azura and Shigure both had a line "My heart is singing!". Here, Hector has a similar line, with a very different meaning.
  Hector: MY ARM IS SINGIN'!
• The story itself has Hector in full Boyfriend-Blocking Dad mode when he starts thinking that Lilina bought her gift to give to Roy.

Hares at the Fair

• The second Spring Festival features Catria, Kagero, and even Alfonse and Sharena, all sporting bunny outfits. Catria is clearly uncomfortable with wearing such an outfit, while Kagero states that she'll bring honor to her lord, no matter what she's wearing. One of her Special quotes in particular is downright hilarious.
  Spring Kagero: Ninjabbit attack!
  • One of Catria's special quotes shows that she's Not So Above It All at the end.
    Spring Catria: Fear the rabbit!
• Sharena insists that Alfonse act like a rabbit in order to fit in with the festival, while Alfonse complains that their ridiculous outfits are enough.
• Many of Spring Catria's lines are her complaining about her attire. She really doesn't like having to wear it. It's to the point that it's part of her dying words—
  Spring Catria: Don't bury me in this...
• The Paralogue maps for the event include some hilarious interactions between Alfonse, Sharena, and their Spring Festival selves. Highlights include...
  • Alfonse immediately says "Oh no..." upon seeing his Spring counterpart, immediately feeling sorry for him for being trapped in such a stupid outfit.
  • Later on, when the Sharenas ask how they're able to meet alternate versions of themselves, Alfonse tries to explain to them about Alternate Universes work, the Summoner's name being different in other realities, how those realities are connected...only for his Sharena to cut him off mid-sentence, much to his dismay.

Bridal Bloom

• Anna is so bummed out about the bouquet's non-transferable blessing that she doesn't even want to go to the bridal festival anymore and would rather laze about at home.
• Why did Anna think Sharena wanted the bouquet? For herself...and the Summoner.
• Like her winter variant, Bridal Tharja tries to tone town her curse-happy ways. She almost succeeds.
  Bridal Tharja: Welcome home, dear! I sacrificed a chicken for dinner.

Summer's Arrival

• During the event, Anna's new scheme to earn money for the Order of Heroes is to record voices of heroes on the beach, and even had the foresight to negotiate with the other Anna to charge them less than last time. However, all of the audio that was recorded... was the crashing waves. Sharena comments that it reminds her of the beach, so Anna salvages this by trying to sell it as a relaxation soundtrack.
• At the end, Alfonse asks the summoner to help him come up with a way to prevent the Order from going bankrupt.
• Summer Innes's defeat quote.
  Innes: Stepped on a jellyfish…

A Sketchy Summer

• Enemy mooks are now equipped with swimming goggles and the same joke weapons that seasonal units have been wielding up to this point.
• The beginning shows that Anna's relaxation book from the last paralogue didn't sell a single copy, so in desperation she forces Alfonse, Sharena, and the summoner to draw people on the beach as a way to make revenue, with Anna herself needing to learn how to draw. However, Sharena and Anna are shown at the end to be bad artists, with even Anna asking why Sharena drew a smiley face on the sun.
  Anna: I like your spirit, Sharena! Now let's take...a...look... Are you serious? This is a joke, right? A child could scribble better! And did you give the sun a smiley face?!
  Sharena: Hey, hurtful! And I happen to think my sun is very cute! Anyway, it's not like your drawing is any better.
  Anna: Hey, I'm the big-idea person. I've got business sense, not artistic sense!
• Should you summon Summer Takumi, you catch him mid-cannonball:
  Takumi: Cannonbaaaall—Waah! Wh-where'd the water go?! And where did I go?! And who are you?!
• One of Summer Takumi's special activation voice lines is "Drown already!" which is unintentionally hilarious when paired with his smiling special skill art.
• Summer Camilla's special skill art has her standing on a massive seashell, probably referencing The Birth of Venus.
• Sketchy Summer Tiki's 5* conversation has her go on a tangent about water from the ocean being salty and questioning why. She ends the conversation by trying to get you to drink some.

Festival in Hoshido

• Yukata Xander's dance animation. Even though it is a real dance, called the Awa Odori/Bon Odori^note the Bon Odori is a dance which honors the dancer's ancestors and connects them with their ancestors or deceased family members, that being done by the usually stern and stoic Xander alone is enough for players to want to pull for him.
  Xander: I shall dance!
• One of Elincia's voiced lines shows her having trouble with her dance.

The Land's Bounty

• The Paralogue has the Order of Heroes competing in a tournament to win candy, because they can't afford to buy food anymore.
• Halloween Kagero's flavor text is a spectacular example of Skewed Priorities.
  Description: A ninja of Hoshido who is ready to lay down her life to obtain some candy.
• Myrrh tries to be scary, but just comes off as all the more adorable for it.
  • One of her Special quotes is just "Boo!". It comes off as really saccharine.
  • She pounces just before transforming into her dragon form.
  • Her attack portrait depicts her mid-pounce. Her special portrait gives her an eager smile, making it as if she's really anticipating robbing you of all your candy.
  • Myrrh's quote when learning a new skill is already adorably hilarious, but it's also used for Skill Inheritance. Since Skill Inheritance involves either sacrificing a unit or using a combat manual, one can interpret it as either Myrrh eating another person or eating a book.
    Myrrh: Om nom nom! Thish candy ish deelishush!
• Mia will sometimes yell "WAH!" when doing her basic attack. This was highlighted in the trailer, and comparisons to Waluigi soon followed.
• Dorcas, despite looking like The Stoic on the outside and wearing a ridiculous outfit, reassures the player that he is really happy deep down.
  Dorcas: Don't worry... My face isn't made for smiling, but this is my happy face. Take my word for it.
  • Dorcas in the Paralogue is confused as to why they're fighting, and seems oblivious to Niles' innuendo. Then, during the final battle, he's absent. Niles casually reveals that he ran away after the last battle. Can you blame him?

Gifts of Winter

• The fact that Ephraim still wields his Siegmund despite being in his Holiday Mode. Guess that Ephraim and Hector are still more alike to each other.
• In Paralogue 28-2, Ephraim is interested in being taught magic by the Mage General Cecilia. However, she has this to say:
  Cecilia: Unfortunately, no. You have no talent for magic.
  Ephraim: ...N-none at all? Oh. Well...I'd be lying if I said that wasn't what I had expected to hear.
• At the end of the paralogue, Sharena is revealed to still believe in the winter festival envoy (the Heroes version of Santa Claus), stating that she always receives presents and that Alfonse even saw them once, much to Anna's shock. Alfonse, however, doesn't have the guts to tell her that they're not real, stating to Anna that he did see the winter festival envoy... which Alfonse expresses his disappointment when he really knows who the winter festival envoy is when he saw them.

Hostile Springs

• At the end, Sharena and Anna decide to dig a pit to make their own hot spring. Alfonse promptly snarks to the Summoner that they had better get some rope so they can haul them out once they get themselves stuck.

Regal Rabbits

• Marisa, who is usually very serious and deadpan, gives us these gems:
  Spring Marisa: If this outfit isn't good for fighting, I'll have to hop away.
  Spring Marisa: Fur sure. (when you select her on a map)
  Spring Marisa: I want to hop. (when you inherit a skill to her)
• The fact that Bruno, of all people, made his playable debut with a bunny variant rather than his usual self. The snark in this variant's description makes it funnier:
  Prince of the Emblian empire, whose lineage remains something of a mystery. Dressing as a rabbit isn't clarifying things for anybody.
• Spring Veronica's 0-1 stat level up quote Rhymes on a Dime.
  Spring Veronica: Not funny, bunny.

A Season for Picnics

• Poor Felicia doesn't catch a break with her Lethal Chef tendencies:
  Picnic Felicia: Everyone says my cooking is to die for... and then they laugh.
• The fact that Felicia's attack is to just thrust her weapon towards her enemies as she nearly trips, with said weapon being a pan full of bad food.
• In Paralogue 33-2, Felicia shares her "cooking" with Lukas and Leo, but Leo is wary about her "cooking" due to her reputation in their home game, but Lukas however is not and tries it out. Then we have this gem from Leo:
  Picnic Leo: You don't know what you're getting yourself into. In case you haven't heard, Felicia's dishes are famous...ly bad.
• By a twist of fate, Lukas actually enjoys Felicia's bad cooking (if only because this is a man who puts up with being fed raw wheat flour if you’re that much of an ass in Echoes), and his agreement has Leo obliged to join in, with Felicia offering tomatoes to him, stating that it wouldn't kill him to try. At end of the part, he states that the "tomato" has some unwanted qualities.
  Picnic Leo: Wh-what is that!? You've somehow combined the texture slime and... dust! And what's this film on top? ...You say that was a TOMATO?

Summer's Return

• Anna has promised not to try any get rich quick schemes this time, but it's quite clear that she's having trouble with restraint. Eventually, she collapses from the stress.
• Summer Ylgr sometimes has something very important to say when she activates her special.
  Summer Ylgr: I love to swim!

Summer Refreshes

• Lyn gets to lampshade the outlandish outfits seasonal units wear into combat.
  Lyn: Wait—what? Fight? In THIS?! Have you lost your mind?
  • Summer Lyn's quote whenever she gets a bad level-up is also hilarious.
    Lyn: I think we both know what's holding me back... It rhymes with... slim flute.

A Splendid Soiree

• Sometimes when you select Soiree Berkut, he says "Let me have my fun!" in a rather annoyed tone. Taken in a meta context with his tragic path in Shadows of Valentia, it's darkly humorous.

Treat Fiends

• As Ilyana is asking L'Arachel for food, L'Arachel tries to go fetch a pumpkin for her. Once she gets to it, she finds it mysteriously missing. According to Rolf, Ilyana already ate the whole thing.
• Teaching Ilyana a skill or passing down a skill via inheritance prompts her to ask if it's tasty. Just like Myrrh before her, the implications of eating another unit or a manual are bound to ensue.

Glorious Gifts

• Jaffar, the borderline emotionless assassin, dressed as a reindeer, complete with jingle bells and a reindeer headband. The completely straight face he keeps despite his getup is what really sells it.
  Jaffar: Am I enjoying myself?... No. I'm here because I have to be.

Lovely Gifts

• The event has this gem from Valentine Rudolf's Special activation quotes:
  Rudolf: It's a holiday! Relax!
• In Duo Valentine Alm & Celica's conversation, Celica is being thoughtful on what to give everyone individually from her side of the army, while Alm... gives everyone steak, and even praising it as it is the best thing to give everyone. Celica is disappointed, to say the least. Alm does make it up to her in the end.
  Celica: Oh... I... I see... So we're all getting steak...
  Alm: Not just any steak! It's grass fed! The Knights of Zofia sang its praises! Well, Clair called it a brutish gesture...

The Start of it All

• This event involves past versions of Marth, Merric and the Whitewings being given a dose of Super-Empowering by Thórr, and Loki and Veronica doing what appears to be babysitting the latter's contracted "heroes".
  • Thórr fails to mention there's one last superpowered child present: Caeda, who sort of just appears on the last map... and she isn't supposed to meet Marth yet! Of all people, Loki is the one who freaks out and breaks them up to preserve the timeline.

Bridal Beloveds

• Groom Hinata's 4-5 stat level up quote.
  Hinata: I put the grrr in groom!

Overseas Memories

• Summer Sylvain's damaged art has his Melon Float weapon get tossed at his face. Did Ingrid throw it?
• Examining Summer Lorenz in the Catalog has the name/epithet scroll cover his small swimsuit completely, accidentally making him look like he's wearing nothing down there.

Dragon's Harvest

• Fallen Female Halloween Robin, despite being dressed as a werewolf and is attending the harvest festival, doesn't enjoy attending it judging from some of her quotes, even though her other quotes say otherwise.
  Robin: I am Grima... I am despair... And I...am NOT enjoying this festival...
  Robin: Am I having fun? What about my appearance makes you think I'm having FUN, worm?!
  • Her level 40 conversation starts with her contemplating the deliciousness of the harvest candy, before being surprised by the summoner and vehemently denying saying such things. It ends with her threatening to destroy the world if the summoner doesn't invite her to next year's festival. Yes, the only thing keeping this Grima from destroying the world is candy.
  • Another funny thing about her is that, much like other seasonal dragons, her dragon form is suitably dressed up for the season. Which means that the giant, continent-sized dragon that wants to wipe out humanity is perfectly fine with being decorated with a pumpkin sticker.

A Festival Miracle

• Just the fact that Felix is forced to attend, and is having absolutely NONE of it. His Level 40 confession is the icing on the Christmas cake.
  Felix: Now that the festival is over, I want you to know exactly what I thought of it, [Summoner]. It was a waste of time that would have been better spent training. I'm not sure which is worse—that I spent all that time giving out gifts, or that I actually enjoyed it. Their stupid smiles, their ridiculous words of gratitude... Ugh... I hope you don't think I learned some kind of lesson from this. Or that I'll suddenly get all warm and fuzzy. Let's just get back to training and forget this ever happened.

Dark Desert Rituals

• The reason Raphael is here? He thought there will be food served.
  • One of Raphael's crit quotes has him say "Curse you!" in a humorous spooky voice.
  • Raphael's "shirt" consists of just a collar and sleeves, with his whole torso exposed. Upon closer inspection, however, there are visible torn edges around the exposed skin, implying that his muscles were too powerful to be contained by the shirt.

Summer's Dream

• Ogma, while having a summer variant, hasn't got a clue on what to do during the summer.
  I'm Ogma. My orders are to "enjoy...summer...activities". I... don't know what that means.
• In the beginning of Summer Harmonized Caeda and Plumeria's status conversation, Caeda asks to have Plumeria to give a dream to her with Caeda hoping that she could have wings like Plumeria in her dreams, not knowing what kind of dreams Plumeria gives to people, with Plumeria having to have to turn down that offer for Caeda's safety.
  Plumeria: What?! You? Do you...know what kind of dreams I deal in?
  Caeda: Well, no, to be honest. I was just hoping that you could give me a dream where I have wings like yours. Flying under your own power like that... It just seems like it would feel so good.
  Plumeria: Ah. Well, my dreams are... My dreams are not like that. You see, the dream I give are... especially intense. If you aren't used to...such things, you might not wake up for a long, long time. Days, even.

Shared Bounty

• Rhea finally meets up with Byleth, who is part of a duo with Sothis. However, she does not know that Sothis took on a childlike form, prompting an amusing exchange.
  Rhea: There you are! I've been looking all—Oh? And who is this child with you?
  Byleth: Right. How do I put this...
  Sothis: (Psst! Quickly! Think of something already! And make it good!)
  Byleth: (That isn't helpful...)

Winter Dreamland

• In the Twitter event associated with the festivities, summoners could help the newly added envoys deliver gifts for other heroes. Highlights include:
  • The gifts that Ignatz has to deliver are some gloves and a comb. When he asks Cecilia for help regarding the comb, she jokingly asks Ignatz if he's developed a keen interest in fashion.
  • The gift that Mirabilis has to deliver is a special pillow. Being a Heavy Sleeper herself, she was seen using the gift, so the summoner had to bring another Hero, Bernadetta, to intervene.
  • While Manuela's route, in which she must deliver a brush with retractable bristles, seems normal enough, one of the options that can be chosen is Dheginsea, who is not only a dragon, but is also bald save for a mustache.

Like Clockwork

• Should you summon Dagr, who is a Duo Hero accompanied by Nótt, and she treats her own sister like an afterthought.
  Dagr: Yes! Dagr's here, so the New Year's celebrations can finally begin! *wink* ...Ow, Sis, knock it o—oh, right! This is my sister. Her name's Nótt. She's here too.

Here with Me

• Owain, being Owain, tries applying his theatrics to the festivities. Robin and Lissa pay no mind to his antics.

Hop-and-Go-Seek

• Sonya and Tharja are a total riot together.
  [when using their Harmonized Skill]
  Sonya: Let our beauty enchant you!
  Tharja: ...what?
  [crit quote]
  Sonya: [happily] We're the ravishing...
  Tharja: [exasperated] Rabbits.

Unlikely Friends

• Usually, a character would say at least one thing in any capacity, no matter what condition they were in. And then there's Young Soren, who says literally nothing at all, with the occasional sigh or grunt.

Summer Vacation

• Dimitri challenges Claude to a swimming competition, and is unaffected by the long swim while Claude tires very quickly. He then reveals that this was only the warm-up, to Claude's shock and dismay.
• Summer Claude's special animation shows him gobbling up his ice cream (which also happens to be his unique weapon) before launching his attack.

Taken By The Tide

• While most characters who take part in beach events wear swimsuits that show varying amounts of skin, Nifl, the god of ice, wears a long-sleeved ankle-length blue dress and a wide-brimmed hat. Even with her usual Ice Queen demeanor, you can tell that she really doesn't want to be here.

Divine Harvest

• The duo unit for this event is Duma and Mila. They try to hand out candy at the harvest, but their attempts are hilariously awkward, especially Duma, whose belief that Misery Builds Character makes him unsuited to handing out candy for free.

Holiday Handoff

• One of the units in this event is the Black Knight. Yes, that Black Knight. Turns out he's Not So Above It All as he tries to carry out the duties of Santa Claus with his usual serious demeanor. And, to top everything off, he is the one who does the annual tradition of taking over the official Twitter account for the holidays!
• While Selena is trying to teach Cordelia (who, as players of both Awakening and Fates will recall, is Selena's mother) to be able to say no when asked to do things, she tries to pawn off gift-giving duties onto someone else by playing up a Cute Clumsy Girl act around some men. Unfortunately for her, the men she tries using that around are Bruno and the Black Knight. It backfires spectacularly; they scold her for neglecting her training, then take it upon themselves to give her a spar.
• Dorothea, meanwhile, is in full spouse-hunting mode and tries to rope Annette into the romance of the season. Annette doesn't get it, and is more concerned about finding good gifts for her friends.
• Annette singing on the battlefield—and especially just before she fires off a special-fueled attack—is every bit as funny as it is adorable. And the icing on the Christmas cake is, since her singing is part of her idle animation, she does this in the Tempest Trials and Arena bonus heroes screens too.

Gods Renewed

• This banner's duo unit? None other than Askr and Embla, whose personalities oh-so gloriously clash with each other as they're made to share a spot together, acting Like an Old Married Couple (which to be fair they sort of are) with Askr playing the part of the dad happy to be there, and Embla as the mom who'd rather be anywhere else, all while Askr either blissfully or deliberately ignores her requests to go away.
• Yarne makes a New Year's wish for him and his mother Panne to have a more typical mother and son relationship and for her to be kinder to him, which Panne overhears. Yarne tries to pass that off as him instead wishing for her to remain "healthy and strong." Panne does not buy the excuse, and goes on to passive-aggressively make her own wish for Yarne to live long and healthy, do well in battle, and settle down with a good partner, with Yarne pleading to her that he didn't mean to be rude with his wish.

A Special Gift

• There's never a dull moment for Effie in the Day of Devotion. For example, any time she gains at least five stat-ups, she has to tame her appetite and prevent herself from eating a gift she got for her liege Elise, which she would have otherwise enjoyed as a post-workout snack. If she is greeting a friend, she'll give to said friend a gift, which she goes on to state "might, uh, be a little broken..." Effie even gets A Day in the Limelight in the Valentine's Tempest Trials' story, wherein she is introduced with her Big Eater tendencies on display, and then follows her nose after catching a delectable-smelling aroma. She's led to Prince Leo, who had tried his utmost to keep secret his smorgasbord of tomato-themed dishes as well as his affinity for tomatoes. He orders Effie to keep mum about it, and she's glad to oblige, though not without also requesting that Nohr hold a festival similar to the Day of Devotion, which she was going to raise to Elise before getting sidetracked by the scent of Leo's food.

Spring Eternal

• While Catria may have been very clearly embarrassed to be stuck in spring festival attire, she manages to hide it a lot better than Karla does as she appears for this iteration of the spring festival. Karla's exasperation is on full display any time she says "...Hippity hop." on a map, and every time after she and Freyja inherit new skills or gain blessings, she is unable to hide how tough it is for her to get into the spring spirit.
  Karla: I-I'm so happity hoppity! ...These spring pleasantries are difficult to get used to.
  • Although to her credit, she manages to flash a smile in her and Freyja's special art, something she has only done in her idle Resplendent art.
• Ashe always wipes his easter egg dagger clean just before he launches a special-fueled attack.
• Triandra, on Ashe's request, inflicts a nightmare upon a sleeping Bernadetta to wake her up for the spring festival; said nightmare is full of rabbits with human faces that all stare at her. Later on, Bernadetta is complaining that they should all be collecting eggs from chickens, "like normal people;" immediately afterward, Triandra laments not leaving her alone to sleep.

Summer Firsts

• The whole premise is several characters visitng a beach for the first time, with some liking the experience more than others. Ivy comes from Elusia where summers are short and cold, and she spends her time complaining about the heat and the swimsuits.

Invitation to Tea

• Lysithea is involved with tea party prep, but her Sweet Tooth gets the better of her when she samples her own work during the Paralogue.

Merchant's Harvest

• The two Annas plot to make a killing in the festival, but both of them are stopped by the Order of Heroes' Anna who seizes all their profits for the group. The two girls promise to convince the Summoner to call more Annas in hopes of unionizing against Anna.
• The fact it can be hard to tell which Anna is talking when it's not obvious.

Our Path Ahead

• It turns out that Sanaki has some Clingy Jealous Girl tendencies when it comes to her older sister Micaiah, since she gets annoyed with Micaiah constantly mentioning Sothe. After Micaiah does so one time too many, Sanaki retaliates by apparently tickling Micaiah.
• Saizo is rather annoyed at being the only proper ninja at the festival, as apart from the aforementioned Sanaki and Micaiah, there's the honor-bound Zelgius, the Blood Knight Reina and the womanizing Heather.

Holiday Lessons

• The three house leaders don't know how to react seeing a second Byleth next to theirs. What's made more ambiguous is that the dialogue doesn't specify which Byleth is their professor over the other...and neither can the player tell which Byleth is talking (just as Duo Anna).

Gameplay/Misc.

• Characters will sometimes say one of their skill quotes when they start a mission instead of their turn action quotes. Some can be simply amusing, like Barst yelling "TIMBERRR!" at the top of his lungs. And there are those that are just hilariously inappropriate for mission starts, like Soren's condescending "Are you ready to die?"
• And then there's the absolutely PRICELESS expression of Narcian's "damaged" portrait.
• Setsuna gives this gem when she learns a skill:
  "One step closer to...uh, not stepping into more traps."
• Not even special attack messages are safe from being funny.
  Odin: Overdoing it - as usual!
  Fae: RAWRRR!! RAWWRRR!!
  Henry: It's curse o'clock!
  Shanna: [sounding incredibly flustered] Fine, fine! Everything's fine!
  Florina: Whoaaa!
  Nino: Ahhhhhh!
  Nowi: A-ah-aCHOO!
  Setsuna: Look, a butterfly!
  Leon: Excuse me?!
  Mae: Eat THIS, pal!
  Chrom (Branded King): I'm being helpful!
  Chrom (Branded King): I can't stop this thing!
  L'Arachel: I have arrived!
  Ylgr: Boring, boring, boring.
  Hilda: You're making me work!
  Velouria: Hey! You're no dust bunny!
  Dedue: No.
  Valentine's Chrom and M!Robin: Let's talk about...our feelings!
  • Anna's special attack image shows her in her regular attack position, with yellow streaks showing her weapon's swing — and her tongue sticking out!
  • Midori's "Pick on someone your own size!" can take a turn for the funny if she's facing another child character or herself.
• Florina's damaged artwork is an oddity. Most wounded images are fanservicey or play up how hurt the hero is, but Shrinking Violet Florina just glares down at the enemy calmly, as if to say "Round 2, bitch".
• Many characters have some pretty funny lines for when they level up but get only none to two stat boosts, but special mention goes to Beruka, Navarre, and the Black Knight.
  Beruka/Navarre/Black Knight: ...
  • Nephenee deserves a mention here. Her minimum stat boosts quote turns out to be "Aw, horsefeathers!" This is Nephenee we're talking about, so we can imagine her being flustered that she let her rural accent slip.
  • Etie meanwhile takes a lackluster level up in stride, opting to remedy it by working out later.
    Etie: Oh no! Time to visit the training grounds, I guess.
  • Typically heroes who gain stats across the board will show some delight in their growths. Haar...not so much.
    Haar: This is no good. If I stand out, you're going to put me in the front lines, are you?
    • This is even funnier in a meta sense if you consider in his home games (Radiant Dawn in particular) that he did indeed stand out for overperforming far too well and yes, many players did in fact put him in the front lines. The man speaks from personal experience!
  • Special mention goes out to Fomortiis who just flat out breaks the fourth wall and insults the player for caring for such inconsequential changes.
    Fomortiis: If your mood is influenced by these pointless fluctuations, then you are a miserably shallow fool.
    • Since every unit has a fixed stat value at Level 40 (barring assets or flaws or ascended stats), he's right in a sense.
• Robin's quote in his summoning video is a hilarious Call-Back.
  Robin: Where did I wake up this time?
  • One of his lines also has him grateful that he retained his memories this time.
• In battle, Ninian turns into a dragon. Sounds impressive, right? It is, but her quotes while attacking mostly consist of her saying things like "rawr" and "grr" in a somewhat cute, soft voice.
• Definitely subjective, likely depending on what character you were supporting, but some find it hilarious just how hard Lucina absolutely destroyed all of her opponents in the first Voting Gauntlet.
• In the news bulletin about the second Voting Gauntlet, Anna takes notice of how Subaki is The One Guy in the entire competition, and says "Good luck, guy!" This is even funnier when one realizes that before the official release of Fates, the VERY girlish-looking Subaki was frequently mistaken for a woman by fans.
• Among the updates that came with version 1.6.0, Gaius's summer artwork was adjusted. The issue? He was neglecting the bowstring in his original attack artwork.
• Brave Heroes Roy and Ike have some very familiar voice lines.
  Roy: Roy's our boy!
  Ike: You... like Ike?
• While beneficial, the support system allows you to pair up whichever set of units you please. You may go with canon pairings or go nuts. For example, you can have Tiki pair up with her younger self, or have Eirika bond with Valter.
  • Black Knight with ANYONE at S Rank Support will have his helmet blush.
• The B rank support animation has two units share training techniques. This is usually normal, unless if it's a Summoner support, in which case your avatar trains alongside your unit of choice with the Breidablik!
• Sigurd's skillset can bring some ironic Black Comedy laughs, considering he may very well be on the way to be one of the newest Mage Killer units that could counter powerful units like Reinhardt, but none of that would save him from getting roasted by Arvis. Even in Heroes, Arvis can still defeat Sigurd by using Growing Flame, which ignores all of Sigurd's special skills that would otherwise let him take the hit. Alas, History Repeats for poor Sigurd. More Black Comedy is had due to Sigurd being voiced by either Grant George (who's well-known for playing another character infamous for his Plotline Death, and sometimes due to a cruel betrayal) or by Toshiyuki Morikawa (well known for kickstarting a whole story by killing a certain character and then dealing many, many deaths). It's clear that the people in charge of developing this version of him on both Japan and the West had loads of fun while doing their work...
  • And yes, the players CAN have Sigurd and Arvis reach an S-Support together. And probably Arvis and Deirdre too. Oops?
  • Taking Skill Inheritance into account, it gets even better. While Miracle is a useful defensive skill for Sigurd, he can instead opt to weaponize his high DEF when attacking... with Bonfire or Ignis!
  • Another Black Comedy: One of Arden's critical quotes is "Ain't no way I'm gonna die!". Um, sure, there's a place named Belhalla...
  • Quan debuts with his signature lance, the Gáe Bolg. It pointedly comes with a handy stat boost when he faces off against infantry, armored, and cavalry units... but not flying ones. Not that that's relevant to anything that happens to him later on, of course.
• November 2017's Voting Gauntlet focuses on hair: short-haired girls ^note (Shanna, Amelia, Katarina, and Hinoka) and long-haired guys ^note (Karel, Soren, Ryoma, and Takumi). For the latter, there's this exchange:
  Anna: If they lose in the first round, I'm going to shave some heads!
  Feh: Don't do it!
  • Shanna's upset victory is absolutely hilarious when you consider that fact she was one of the biggest underdogs. Brownie points for beating two Hoshidans (Hinoka and Takumi). And because of this, there has been some fan arts about Anna fulfilling that promise of hers against every participant not named Shanna.
• One of the Special Maps from the "Devs Say Thanks!" set is titled 'The Alluring Four'. The four in question are Jagen, Ogma, Zephiel and Gunter.^note Fridge Brilliance kicks in once you realized that the four characters are all drawn by the same artist.
• The four new characters from January are all from Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn: Micaiah, Sothe, Zelgius (aka the Black Knight, now unmasked) and... Oliver. For added hilarity, this is Oliver's damaged portrait.
• The Feh Channel presentation on January 30, 2018 celebrates the game's first anniversary. It features a cake with macarons detailing the main stories which Feh is eager to dig into. Resident Big Eater Effie sneaks some bites from the cake while Feh is sharing the upcoming news stories. Eventually, the rest of the Order of Heroes join in until the cake is all gone, and Feh never even gets a single bite.
• One of the events for the first anniversary is rotating reruns of various Grand Hero Battles, including the long awaited return of Xander's... which Feh points out in the Feh Channel announcement.
  Feh: Oh hi, Xander! It's been a while.
• Tap Battle:
  • Bringing a staff-user to Tap Battle results in them fighting by smacking enemies upside the head with said staff.
  • Dragonstone-users don't transform into their dragon form in this mode. They just present their dragonstone and the enemy goes flying.
  • If you use a character without an equipped weapon, it results in them hitting enemies with their fists. While someone like the Black Knight or Dorcas would be passably capable of doing so, it looks silly when performed by, say, Fae or Soren.
  • At the end of a level, the characters zip out of the stage. This is already silly enough with someone with one of the standard ready poses, but characters with unique ready poses (like Jakob, Felica, most Dancers) look extra silly.
  • Offensive skill quotes can occasionally be heard from the last unit to land an attack once a certain combo level is reached. Some, aside from previously mentioned quotes, can be rather silly in this mode:
    Soren: Are we done here?
    Bridal Lyn: I want my sword back!
    Ephraim: Give me more—more!
    Leanne: No!
  • There is a Running Gag of the 80th floor having a Bait-and-Switch Boss. Sadly, it seems to have ended as of Sanctuary of the Mages... Until the fourth boss of Summer of Heroes brought it back. All of the named characters you first meet in Heir of Light are Bait And Switch Bosses, though in this case, it's less based on humor than it is based on the events of Genealogy.
    • The first run has Fae appear as a boss wanting to play with your team. After her quick defeat, the real boss, Sophia, comes in wondering where Fae ran off to. Even funnier if you actually brought a Fae of your own to the dungeon.
    • The second features a fight against Caeda as the 4th boss. Defeating her causes her to go humorously flying off the screen, only to return in her Bridal variant for a second round!
    • The third event sees Bartre appear as a boss, loudly boasting about his goal to become the World's Strongest Man. He dies in only one hit. Then the game brings out Arthur, being as hammy and confident as ever, and it looks like the real fight with regular enemies showing up. Arthur folds in just two hits. And then the much more humble and calm Dorcas comes out as the real boss, stating that he just wants to go home.
    • In the Summer of Heroes, after 2 events with no Bait And Switch Bosses, Tana shows off her swimsuit and states that if you tried something funny, Ephraim and her brother will be there to show you your place. You easily beat her and sure enough, Innes shows up, stating that you should appreciate his flawless swimming skills.
    • Sharena's boss battle in the Festival of Heroes is notable in that her Bait-and-Switch Boss happens on the 60th floor instead of the 80th. Nevertheless, you catch her in the middle of changing, and when she's defeated, her real boss battle starts... with her in her bunny outfit.
  • The final boss for the third event is Sigurd assisted by an army of cavalry. This is already a funny nod to how dominant cavalry are in Genealogy of the Holy War, but the real clincher is one of the units is the armored knight Arden, who moves so slowly that several waves of cavalry will reach you before he does.
  • Floor 100. After you finally beat the boss, what is your prize? A hot spring scene. And if your team is filled with mounted units, they jump in horse/pegasus/wyvern and all.
    • In the Tap Battles that ran during the summer, the Floor 100 reward is a summer ocean instead.
    • And if two of the units on your team happen to have an S-Support, they'll wade closer together... if the other two units aren't S-supported, they'll simply stare at the ones who are.
    • If Gúnnthra is present in the scene after floor 100 is cleared, she'll be in her idle pose where she is reading her tome, and thus not be looking at the hot spring. Becomes even funnier when she's the lead unit of the team and thus the one who notices the hot spring first. Her steed must be doing the seeing for her.
  • In the Festival of Heroes Extra Stage 3, the Boss is Spring Chrom, with all the other Spring units backing him up. Instead of sliding in like normal, they all bounce into position.
  • In History Unveiled Extra Stage 3, you'll face Yune as the boss, who as the Goddess of Chaos doesn't exactly follow the rules and changes rows when attacking. She still charges straight when using her Special - which is how she starts the boss fight so as not to reveal the gimmick immediately, so it's doubly dastardly.
• Due to a programming error prior to version 2.3.0, if poor Zelgius had the misfortune of being selected as an enemy during the Breath of Destiny Tempest Trials, he had to fight you with his bare hands. Point and laugh as the level 7 Valentine Lilina you brought for the point bonus proves she could chip him to death if you weren't on the clock.
• Skill Inheritance can be grounds for humorous sprites. You could have gems such as Navarre wielding a bamboo shoot, Michalis beating people to death with a floatie toy, Reinhardt holding a bouquet of flowers, Effie holding a big spoon, like she did in the 1st Anniversary Feh Channel presentation, or Ishtar and her floating cocktail.
• Tiki and Nowi's Bound Hero Battle starts off with Nowi wanting to play hide-and-dragonseek, and Tiki just wanting a nap.
• If you look closely at Kana's Grand Hero Battle map, you'll notice that one bridge leads smack into a wall.
• The 2.6.0 update adds accessories that can be given to heroes to change their appearance. Depending on the character, this can cause some funny sights.
  • Masked Marth's mask can be given to the actual Marth, which is shown in the first image announcing it.
  • And, of course, Masked Marth's mask can also be given to Masked Marth himself.
  • Masks can be worn by characters that already have their faces concealed, like Masked Marth, Gerome, or the Black Knight.
  • There's a doll of Feh that characters can wear like a hat. It's especially amusing if Micaiah wears it since she already has her own bird Yune perched on her shoulder.
• The November 7, 2018 Feh Channel:
  • Aether Raids are introduced by having Feh take a crack at them. She opens by sending Sharena against Helbindi, seemingly unaware of how the weapon triangle works. It all goes downhill from there and her team completely wipes. Reflecting on her defeat, she concludes that structures could have saved her.
  • Feh on deciding who to summon with her Heroic Grails:
    "One potato, two potato... three potato... ...Xander!"
• Bartre's personal weapon is called "Axe of Virility." "Virility" is another word for "manliness"; in other words, Bartre's personal weapon can be referred to as "Axe of Manliness".
• All of Ylgr's "selected" quotes are merely her saying "okay" with different inflections.
• In this image commemorating the eventual release of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, Feh has been sent flying by Male Corrin and looks rather pleased with it, even though players should avoid being sent flying in Smash.
• The March 2019 Grand Conquest, featuring Radiant Dawn, pits Micaiah, Sanaki, and Black Knight against each other. Micaiah and Sanaki ready themselves for mock battles, while the Black Knight questions why he's here.
  Micaiah: If we wish to promote an understanding between nations and a cultural exchange... a mock battle is an option, isn't it?
  Sanaki: Although it may be under a different banner, it is deeply moving to keep my promise to my sister in this way. I refuse to lose!
  Black Knight: Should I be here? Should I yet live? Is this another miracle?
• Considering how much Yune hates being called a dark god, one can only imagine how she'd react if she knew she was a dark Mythic Hero.
• One day in 2019, a Legendary Beast was added to the game: Feh!
  • Her weapon is Feh's Talons, which has 999+ Mt, 9+ range, increases all of her stats by 99, and does not let the enemy counterattack while Feh can counterattack at any range; her Assist skill is Feh's Mimicry, where she does her best impression of any hero; her Special skill is Eavesdropping Owl, which lets her get information on Fire Emblem Heroes, but it has a charge time of 100; her A skill is Feh's Mighty Flap, where she uses her wings to send paper flying off the notification board; and her B skill is just ???, which says the target can't help but watch what happens.
  • Feh has 999 HP, deals 999 damage per attack, and hits 99 times.
  • Her banner consists entirely of her wearing different hats, each one capable of using some of the most powerful magic in the series like Loptous, as well as one using Black Luna. The banner has an appearance rate of 0%. Did we mention the video was uploaded on April 1? At least the orb hat is real.
    Feh: For Xander!
• Out of his other two dramatic select quotes, one of Fallen Berkut's lines when you tap him on the field is a very annoyed "what", like you personally interrupted him during his power trip.
• The May 2019 Grand Conquest features the Fates nations Hoshido and Nohr. They are led by their respective elder princes, Ryoma and Xander, who give a rousing speech to their armies. There's also Corrin.
  Corrin: B-brothers, I'm here too! Er, uh... Let's do our best out there, green team. Don't let them intimidate you!
• Sothis' appearance as an Infantry Dragon in Heroes means she could potentially spoil her draconic origins in her home game to many players, since at the time of her release, it was under a week after Fire Emblem: Three Houses was released worldwide, so her dragon form... is herself floating in the air. (Though the fact that she never actually shows off her draconian form in the game might also have something to do with it)
  • Her Halloween variant is worse, as since she's already riding on a flying broom, literally nothing changes.
  • The fact that her default portrait art includes her throne as well, which is not included in her battle sprite at all, for obvious reasons. It does make one imagine if she did bring it all over the place, such as on the battlefield, the castle screen, the hotsprings...
• During a R⌀kkr Sieges event, the theme is that your party will do damage to the R⌀kkr, and then a bunch of other players will add the damage from their runs to yours - killing the R⌀kkr without this happening is impossible. If you finish your battle with the R⌀kkr before anyone else does, the game fixes the problem by having Anna show up and do 1 damage. What makes it funnier is that R⌀kkr bosses start at 200,000 HP, which is achievable by a single player, so it's entirely possible for Anna to vanquish the R⌀kkr.
• In Kempf's "Meet the Heroes" page, Sharena notes that they've stretched the definition of "Hero" a little this time.
• The game's official Twitter account gets a Hostile Show Takeover by Sothis (donning her winter regalia) as Feh slumbers prior to Christmas 2019. There's even a hashtag associated with this moment (#SothisTweets).
  • This happens again in Christmas 2020 where Hilda (in her winter outfit) took over and all of her tweets associated with it having the hashtag (#HildaTweets).
• Just the fact that Plumeria's title is actually Lewd Dream.
• The 3rd anniversary Feh Channel features another owl, Fehnix, who delivered the news in Feh's stead. At the end, Fehnix wanted to make sure Feh gets the 3rd anniversary cake before Effie gets it and carries it off. Someone does indeed miss the cake by a couple of seconds, but it's not Effie; it's Lysithea, who wasn't even in the game at this point.
• April 2nd's Feh Channel starts with Feh flying in...in her 8-bit form. Noticing she was missing "a few bits", she hurries off, then returns as her normal self.
  • At the end of the same Feh Channel, Feh uses the newly introduced Free Focus Summon feature to summon Lilith. Cue this:
    Feh: Wait, why is your mouth watering? You look hungry...
    Lilith: *transforms into her dragon form*
    Feh: Ah! I-I think there have been SOME KIND OF MISTAKE! WE DONT EAT POULTRY IN THIS CASTLE!!!
    Lilith: *roars*
    Feh: FEEEEEHHH!!! *flees*
    Back on the main screen
    Feh: Whooooo... that was a close one. I-I think that's all I can handle for today, Summoners...
• For the Feh Channel introducing Book V, Alfonse suddenly runs by, being chased by Reginn... whose attacks leaves poor Feh a smoking mess.
• In the Fire Emblem Leads banner picture, everyone is assuming their special attack poses, all looking cool... Except for Marth, who's in his damaged art. Compared to everyone else, he looks comedically wimpy.
• In the dialogue before the July 2020 Grand Conquests, Lloyd and Linus lay out coherent, well-thought-out strategies for securing victory. Nino's is... less so.
  Lloyd: Our strategy will be to pace ourselves in the beginning, but we'll be pressing our advantage by the end!
  Linus: Our strategy will be to mirror and react to the movements of our opponents. Simple!
  Nino: Our s-strategy? Umm... We're going to do our best!
• Grandmaster 63 "Rock 'n' Roll" of Tactics Drills has the player control Michalis, Hardin, Regular Azura, and World of Thracia Reinhardt... with the latter two wearing sunglasses. Even better, this is in reference to Comic 42◊ of Fire Emblem Heroes: A Day in the Life, with the only thing missing is that Azura is not her Peforming Arts variant in that challenge.
• Oliver's exclusive weapon Tome of Favors. Its animation is absolutely silly: he calls forth an angel that looks like him that delivers a blinding shock.
• The animation for Winter Bernadetta's exclusive weapon, Hrist, has her summon a log cabin in which to take shelter while a blizzard rages outside. Leave it to Bernie to weaponize hiding indoors.
• The 5.2.0 update gave Nina her own unique weapon, Spy-Song Bow. Its refine bonus grants her +6 to all stats and post-combat healing... but only if Nina is within 3 spaces of a support-partner pair that doesn't include Nina herself. In other words, the refinement weaponizes her Yaoi Fangirl tendencies. The refinement icon is the cherry on top: it shows a figure surrounded by hearts daydreaming about two figures engaged in a Wall Pin of Love.
• For April Fools day 2021, FEH released a video of Reginn and Fáfnir dancing to techno music while the Summoner jams behind a DJ booth. It's as good as it says. The DJ headphones accessory for summoners that was given out the day after was the icing on the cake.
• Legendary Male Byleth's attack animation starts badass enough, using the Sword of the Creator to whip his enemy, but then you remember he's a green tome unit, and the magic part involves basically using a gust of wind to throw various lost items at the enemy to finish them off. And remember, he's a Legendary Unit.
• To promote the Fire & Ice Tempest Trials+ being a continuation of Book II, FEH released a video recapping the events of said book... depicted as a stage play with everybody (even Surtr) depicted in a cutesy Super-Deformed art style. Highlights include:
  • The normally serious Surtr gleefully moving around via forcing Laegjarn and Laevatein to carry him via palanquin, which they naturally struggle to do.
  • Gunnthrá gives Fjorm Leiptr, only for the Summoner to get jealous and ask for a special weapon themselves. They eventually get a giant snowball. Naturally, it is rolled to the final battle with Surtr.
  • How is Surtr beaten? By the Summoner giving said snowball a football kick (complete with a Special close-up lifted from Three Houses) to freeze Surtr. It isn't enough though, so Fjorm uses Leiptr to break a pillar to try and crush him, and they are inexplicably joined by Laevatein throwing rubble, ice, and various props onto the pillar thus causing the lighting on the stage to fall onto him. It still isn't enough, as he gets back up... only for Gunnthrá and Laegjarn to drop a washtub from heaven on his head, finally putting him out.
• Brave Gatekeeper has a unique casting animation to account for his weapon, the Charging Horn. While seeing him blow his horn in his attack animation is funny enough on its own, the B-rank Ally Support animation between two units doesn't take unique weapons into account. This gives the player the hilarious sight of Gatekeeper trying to toot a Rexcalibur tome.
• Grandmaster Tactic Drill 85 is called With One Eye, and it features three Heroes with one eye (Saber, Haar, Legendary Dimitri)... and Owain wearing the eyepatch accessory. Note that there are several other Heroes who wear eye patches.
• The third Ice & Flame Tempest Trial features Múspell, Nifl's mortal enemy, as the boss of the final map. Nifl herself, however, is in the random enemy pool — and there is not an exception in the code to prevent her from being on Múspell's team.
  • Similarly, the fifth and final Life & Death Tempest Trials feature Ganglot, the handmaid of Hel who is hell-bent on killing Eir, as the boss of the final maps. There is a ranged cavalier coded to spawn on both maps, and said ranged cavalier can be none other than Ascended Eir herself.
• The December 5 Feh Channel features such highlights as:
  • The Book VI story reveal takes the form of the conflict breaking into the castle and freaking Feh out.
  • The mystery of whether or not Priam really is descended from Ike continues to be just that: a mystery, even to Feh.
  • Feh shows off the new PVP mode, Summoner Duels, by fighting Fehnix, whose team is made entirely of Xander alts. When she loses, Feh declares she's been betrayed by Xander, Xander, Xander, Xander, and Xander.
  • The standalone Summoner Duels video is demonstrated with Reinhardt commentating a match between Alfonse and Veronica like it's a football game.
• Whoever designed the Askr Legendary battle must have had a laugh when they put a Remix/Refined Legendary Marth in as its sole non-original reinforcement (as to trigger one of Askr's skills) on most difficulties. A number of players have remarked that he's harder to deal with than Askr.
• Fomortiis's two attacks consist of him either blasting a foe with a dark beam, or a simple Boring, but Practical muscular fist attack.
• For April Fool's Day 2023, we are treated to a hilarious video of Askr hosting an exercise show called "Moove with Askr", featuring Seiðr, Kiran, Alfred, and Timerra (despite not being released in the game yet) to accompany him.
• "Askran Time Scramble" has the seventh set of Brave Heroes deal with Askr's financial crisis via time travel. After resolving the crop and bandit issues, it barely changed Askr's situation. The reason? Askr's Anna never got the money; her New Years, Apotheosis, and bridal variants did.
• Peony, the resident Genki Girl fairy going around giving everyone sweet dreams, debuts Attuned Heroes as an axe unit. With a big, bulky weapon called "Flower of Caring". There's something wrong here. This is meant to be taken seriously too as she's not a seasonal unit.
• Medeus's base kit focuses on receiving buffs from nearby allies. While likely meant as a Call-Back to the final battle of Mystery of the Emblem, it can also be interpreted as the Big Bad Shadow Dragon himself, of all people, believing in The Power of Friendship.
