History Series / TokyoEncounter

** The ''UsefulNotes/PlaystationVita'' shows up in episode 19 before it was released.

* HelloInsertNameHere: A variation involving a character's favorite activity (''a la'' [[VideoGame/EarthBound Ness's]] favorite food) shows up in episode 13 when Sugita and Nakamura are asked to show their gaming-related photographs. The moment also serves as a funny role reversal of their usual BokeAndTsukkomiRoutine.

* RuleOfCool: When they played ''VideoGame/MetalWolfChaos'', this is their reaction.

** In episode 5, when one of the characters is called "Mezu", Sugita jokingly says that Creator/MegumiToyoguchi is in the game, only then to explain the "Mezu/Megu" pain when Kaji was looking up at the menu to check if it's true.

* PunnyName: The word "Die" in ''Die... Tokyo Encounter'' is a pun to "Dai", which means "Great" or "Big".

* ClipShow: In June 5th and 19th, ''Tokyo Encounter Nii'' aired two specials that featured highlights of the entire show. The clips were categorized in following categories: "2P Game Selection" (which featured clips with no guests), "Retro Game Selection" (focusing on retro games), "Multiplayer Games Selection" (focusing on multiplayer games with at least three players; this category also took the majority of screentime in both specials), "Arcade Game Selection" (focusing on the Arcade Corner segments), and "Singleplayer Games Selection" (focusing on single-player games). Almost every guest appeared in these two specials, with the exception of Creator/AyanaTaketatsu (although her name was brought up a lot thanks to the ''Ikki Online'' clips). The second appearances of Creator/AoiYuuki and Creator/HiroShimono were also not shown.

* TheCameo: Mafia Kajita appears with [[VideoGame/ArtOfFighting Mr.]] [[VideoGame/TheKingOfFighters Karate]] tengu mask in episode 3 and brings the two hosts food and drinks, but he doesn't say anything.

** In episode 37, Sugita imitates Creator/DaisukeGori and Yuusuke Numata. When playing ''VideoGame/TimeGal'', Nakamura wonders if Reika Kishihara was voiced by one of the ''Anime/DirtyPair'' seiyuus, Saeko Shimizu or Kyouko Tonguu. However, Sakaguchi eventually figures out that Reika was played by Yuriko Yamamoto.

** Creator/KentaMiyake and Creator/FumikoOrikasa are mentioned when Sugita, Nakamura and Eguchi play ''Video/StreetFighterII'', since they are Eguchi and Sugita's senpais respectively and play ''[[VideoGame/StreetFighterIV Zangief and Chun-Li]]''.

** Anything about the adored Creator/HoukoKuwashima.

* AntiClimaxBoss:[[InUniverse ]] The gang encounters one while playing ''VideoGame/DungeonExplorer'' during episode 14. Creator/HiroShimono's reaction during the whole thing just makes this trope even more poignant.

** Creator/HikaruMidorikawa, Creator/MasayaOnosaka, Creator/TakehitoKoyasu, Creator/FumihikoTachiki and Creator/KikukoInoue are mentioned in the Okiayu episodes.
*** Midorikawa is mentioned a few times again later on.

* Episode 57 celebrates Creator/DaisukeOno's 40th birthday. Since his birthday happens to be in May 4, this might explain the one-month delay of the broadcast.

** Sphere, a unit between Creator/AkiToyosaki, Creator/HarukaTomatsu, Creator/AyahiTakagaki and Creator/MinakoKotobuki, is often mentioned during the show. Sugita and Nakamura really want to have them as guests.
*** Sugita mentions in episode 3 that his description of the show scared Toyosaki off. 12 episodes later he tells Nakamura that she would come, though.
*** Tomatsu is mentioned as one of the potential guests.

*** Onosaka, Koyasu and Creator/MitsukiSaiga are mentioned during the ''Gaiden'' special and they apparently recommended Miyano to play ''VideoGame/MonsterHunter''.

** Creator/MiyuIrino is mentioned in episode 16 and in ''Gaiden''.

** In ''Gaiden'', when they play ''Mach Breakers: Numan Athletics 2'', Sugita picked an old man (Shigoku) who had [[Manga/HunterXHunter very long hair that stood up in the air]], with Nakamura commenting it's "[[Manga/HunterXHunter Gon-]][[PlotRelevantAgeUp san]]". Then Sugita calls the old man "[[Creator/MegumiHan Han-chan]]".

The show started in May 2010 and initially ended February 2013. However, a special episode called ''[[{{Pun}} Die]]... Tokyo Encounter'' aired in January 2014 and the second season, ''Tokyo Encounter Nii'', has been airing since May 2014. ''Nii'' featured two ''Gaiden'' episodes as an extension to the normal episodes, one for episode 30, and one for episode 48, both of which were aired one month later. Both ''Gaiden'' episodes had a major segment that took the majority of those episodes' time, the first featured ''Tokyo Encounter Dai-Nenpyou'' ("Tokyo Encounter: Big Chronology"), and the second featured ''Watashi no Takaramono Encounter'' ("My Treasure Encounter").
