* AFormYouAreComfortableWith: Muu disguises themselves as a book store owner in Sacramen-Cho. They accidentally get found out when Stardust wakes up early and sees the disguise hanging from the ceiling after Muu cleaned it.
* {{Expy}}: Of Mu, a mystical lost continent and source of civilization that appears in some Mythos stories.
* TheGhost: Never seen or interacted with in any of ''First Date's'' routes, although their presence is felt through the books. Averted in ''Date to Die For'', where they do make a physical appearance.
* InvisibilityInk: Nyanlathotep's book seems normal at first, consisting only of the spell to sever ties with the supernatural. It's only when you put a black light to it that you see the ''rest'' of the book, which teaches you how to survive the curses Auntie Nyan Nyan will inflict on you.
* ShipperOnDeck: Turns out they are obsessed with human/eldritch god relationships, and have created the ritual books specifically to facilitate them. This turns out to be part of her motive for moving to the human world and setting up a bookstore in Sacremen-Cho, to satisfy her lust for humans as well as an opportunity to write and read as much smut as she wants.

** He is also one for D, the protagonist of the previous game. Where D is more of a LovableSexManiac who uses ThePowerOfLust to gain the willpower needed to stand up to the eldritch entities he summons into his reality and is rather honest and upfront with them (two-timing Ln'Eta and Estir notwithstanding), Buck is a spiteful man who harbors nothing but resentment towards Rhok'zan and doesn't think twice about manipulating others for his own ends. They also both antagonize Nyanlatothep, but while D only does so to stop her from interfering with human/eldritch relationships, Buck does it in a calculated move to erase all reality (see below).
