Menu theme:
This game provides examples of:
- Abusive Parents: Not seen in the mod, but is part of Ruby's backstory. They punish her by cutting her up with a knife, which is then topped by having her right eye ripped out in a fit of rage. Parents of the Year material, folks.
- Bait-and-Switch: The description for the tutorial makes one think it'll be performed with Girlfriend just as in the base game, but it's actually performed with CJ.
- Battle Couple: Played straight by Girlfriend and Boyfriend in "Artificial Lust", but averted with CJ and Ruby, as they aren't dating. (They actually already have partners of their own, CJ has a different girlfriend, Vade, and Ruby has a different boyfriend, Mark.)
- Bridal Carry: Boyfriend does this with Girlfriend, similar to week 7 in the main game.
- Colbert Bump: In-Universe. One of CJ's motivations for fighting Boyfriend is to increase the popularity of his band, knowing how popular Boyfriend has become.
- Cute Little Fangs: CJ sports these.
- Dual Boss: CJ & Ruby both face off against BF & GF in "Artificial Lust".
- Four-Fingered Hands: CJ, Ruby, and the other bandmates have only four fingers.
- Friendly Rivalry: The main opponents of the mod, CJ & Ruby, are very nice people compared to several other mod opponents, with CJ challenging Boyfriend to a friendly rap battle after their concert, and Ruby also wants to prove herself to Boyfriend while CJ encourages her to sing. They also take their losses against Boyfriend very well, stating how much they had fun even if they didn't win.
- Hiding Behind Your Bangs: Ruby's right eye is covered up by her hair. Justified in that said eye was ripped out by her parents, and it's to hide the empty socket.
- Keet: CJ is very energetic, outgoing, and confident.
- Nice Guy: CJ rivals Hex as one of the nicest opponents Boyfriend has ever faced. He even takes his loss in stride. Ruby is also well meaning, even if she is a little shy.
- Promoted to Playable: Sort of. "Artificial Lust" allows you to play as both Boyfriend and Girlfriend at the same time just like in the main game's Week 7. The bonus song, "Coda" plays this straight, as the player will keep switching between Boyfriend and Girlfriend, and sometimes at the same time.
- Red Oni, Blue Oni: CJ is the outgoing, energetic, and confident Red Oni while Ruby is the reserved, timid, and shy Blue Oni.
- Sequel Hook: At the end of CJ and Ruby's week, Vade makes an appearance, who will be the main opponent of Week 2.
- Shrinking Violet: Ruby sometimes gets nervous and lacks confidence but she is the best vocalist of the band and when she gets over her nerves she can really sing with the best of them.
- Suddenly Voiced: In the middle of "Artificial Lust", CJ drops a spoken "It's showtime!" before the scene transitions to the band performing at night with a colorful light show.
- Technicolor Eyes: Ruby has purple eyes (actually just one).
