* YoungerThanHeLooks: While his art makes him look like a young adult, he's actually only 14. When he meets Noko Yokoyama in his campaign, she initially assumes that he's a child in need of protection, instead of an opponent to be beaten.

* AdaptationalBadass: In his original game, Isaac was constantly scared. Not so much here since, while he is still crying, they're BerserkerTears. This is something the Motes also acknowledge in his own story, that his tears aren't strictly out of fear, so much as being overwhelmed with emotion in ''either'' direction.

This is something the Motes also acknowledge in his own story, that his tears aren't strictly out of fear, so much as being overwhelmed with emotion in ''either'' direction. Like the other single-game representatives, he's also noted as ''already'' being more than worthy of being a Blade Stranger; He's just being put through the paces as a formality to prepare him for the threat Lina poses.



* BerserkerTears: As mentioned above, he's always crying even when he's delivering a CurbStompBattle on his opponents.

* CastFromHitPoints: Not mechanically, but implied with his wake-up attack being a Black Heart, a form of health that damages all enemies onscreen when depleted.



* GondorCallsFOrAid: Forms an unlikely but powerful cavalry with Shovel Knight, Quote, and Gunvolt to help Solange in the Extended cinematic.



* PowerGivesYouWings: One of Isaac's supers has him grow wings, either turning him into an Archangel and launching a bright KamehameHadoken (possibly a reference to a rare item in his home game, Crack The Sky, which drops damaging beams of light on enemies) or turning into a demon and firing red lasers everwhere.

* PoorCommunicationSkills: Since Isaac can't do anything but cry most of the fights that happen between him and other characters are usually due to misunderstandings. In one case a character tries to interact with Isaac but ends up stinging themselves on the tears running down his face, causing them to believe he's some kind of monster.

* LateArrivalSpoiler: In the original game, the reveal that Liongate was in fact Solange's long-lost brother Schwartz [[BrainwashedAndCrazy brainwashed]] into fighting for the Distron Army (although it's a bit more [[ReverseMole complicated]] than that) was a pretty big plot twist. Here, both characters acknowledge that they are indeed siblings.

* {{Stripperiffic}}: Just look at her! She actually got mistaken for a prostitute in her home game at one point. Even Noko calls her out on it in her match against her. And then there's the ever so innocent Emiko, who wonders if she's too poor to afford clothes, nevermind that she's royalty.
