* NoYou: When Kaze is fighting Fungus in the latter's homeworld, Fungus (who seems immortal thanks to his ability to regenerate himself) taunts Kaze by saying that this will be where he dies. Kaze's response is simply to point at Fungus and say "No, YOU'RE the one who will die here!"
* NostalgiaFilter: The enemy Nostradamus uses this as a weapon. It is a radio tower that sends out energy waves, trapping people in their happiest memories of the past while constantly announcing "Nothing beats the good old days!".

* AwesomeButImpractical: Kaze’s Magun can summon powerful monsters, and is one of the few things able to stand up against the likes of Chaos or Omega. However, it is cumbersome, takes a long time to activate, cannot fire regular bullets, and suffers from PowerIncontinence.

* DangerouslyGarishEnvironment: The environments of Wonderland are brightly colored and surreal. Besides the monsters that plague it, Wonderland is a hodgepodge of worlds that were swallowed up by Chaos.



* FirearmsAreRevolutionary: Most of the Commodeen rely on blowguns, so Cid is impressed by the potential of Kaze’s gun when he sees it.



* GlamourFailure: When Yu first meets [[spoiler:Earl Tyrant, a close-up shot gives the Earl Chaos energy instead of eyes. When he escapes, Yu's eyes go under the same effect]].

* BalefulPolymorph: The hilarious ShoutOut episode 17.



* MoodWhiplash: Episode 17 is a silly little story about [[TheChewToy Cid]] coping poorly with a BalefulPolymorph. Episode 18 is an incredibly serious and depressing glimpse of Kumo's backstory and motivations. And then Episode 19--the most slapstick of the lot--is positively bipolar, swinging between over-the-top gags and Clear angsting.
