Tropes:
- Could Say It, But...:Semiramis: ... If you so much as mention the word "chocolate," little scribe, I will have your head off where you stand.
Andersen: Who, me? Don't worry. I'd never be so foolish as to say that the stronger and scarier a woman is, the more susceptible she is to sweets. - Debut Queue: Murasaki Shikibu becomes a playable character.
- Get Out!: Semiramis's response when Amakusa comes nosing around about the Holy Grails.
- Impossible Hourglass Figure: Murasaki's is lampshaded by Tamamo Cat.Tamamo Cat: At first glance you'd think you weren't getting enough to eat, but you've clearly been packing the pounds on in other places. Welp, no matter how impossible your proportions might be, we cats don't turn away customers.
- The Man Behind the Man: A non-malicious example, as there's a letter full of emotion that is in Murasaki's possession that triggered the Books to go berserk in the first place. Early on, it seems like Murasaki was the cause of all of this. While its not outright stated, the epilogue all but confirms that the letter that started the Event was written by Mash to send to the Master.
- Mission Control: The bulk of the event consists of searching Chaldea with Murasaki while Mash and Semiramis communicate by hologram from the command room.
- Never Trust a Title: There are actually more than seven Cursed Books the Chaldea crew needs to deal with.
- Not So Above It All: The normally aloof loner Andersen actually volunteers his services to Murasaki and the Master during the event proper. Moreoever, it looks like he's actually enjoying himself.
