History DarthWiki / BurningRhapsody4

* TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers: Her sisters stick to the side of characters who appeared before. Yumiko appears with Huang Lin, another new character.

* BonusBoss: She can be fought in a special fight, with her unique Arena, the [[PocketDimension Starfield House]]. However, she doesn't replace the FinalBoss.

* AddedAlliterativeAppeal: To the point her entire family name is contained in her first name.

* LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters: ''Gaiden'' had 29, but this takes it up to 43.

* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: When awakened, she has blue-green hair.

* EvilVsEvil: The last time Ezochi was mentioned in-story was the backstory to Zen'i and Kyoku's rivalry before the original installment, and Ezochi had gigantic Majins. Ryou mentions going out of her way to rid the island of them entirely.

* EvilAlbino: His Awakened form has the aesthetic as his skin loses some color and his hair turns from black to white.

* BattleAmongstTheFlames: Sora's stage in ''Evolution'', appropriately called ''Burning Battlefield''.
* CompetenceZone: The Aya sisters are 16 to 20 years old, and are the primary protagonists (though always supporting in nature) of ''Twill''. Though they're far from the only competent characters, they treat other characters (such as 24-year-old Kyoku and Zen'i) as old.

** Sora beat Bijin and Kai in ''Evolution'', but it's a PyrrhicVictory, and he spends ''Twill'' recovering.
* DivergentCharacterEvolution: Lampshaded as Saki and Akira, who just now meet each other. Both Zen'i's half-sisters (though with different parents) and resent him for killing the parent he shared with them, but Saki has moved on from trying to kill Zen'i while Akira hasn't.

* NonActionBigBad: Tora in ''Evolution''. In ''Twill'', he is the FinalBoss.
* OneSteveLimit: Averted, the game throws a second Rin into the mix, though she's referred to as Lin, because she's Chinese, or [[spoiler:Kirin]].
* PowerCreep: [[GameplayAndStoryIntegration Represented ]] in ''Evolution'' by all the newly-playable characters being at least sub-bosses.

* SpannerInTheWorks: Takeru and Ryou turn on Tora during ''Evolution'', negating most of the support to the Kinma.

* VillainousRescue: [[spoiler:Zen'i and Sayaka are trounced by Tora, but Kai makes the save. The trope is subverted because Kai made a HeelFaceTurn.]]

!!Introduced in ''Twill'':
[[folder:The Aya Sisters (Sayaka, Michiyo, Keiko, Eri and Yumiko)]]
--> A family of ritual dancers.
!!!Tropes associated with the Aya sisters:
* CelibateHero: They all swear to go back to seclusion after dealing with the plot, and thus have to swear off relationships.
* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: Despite being primarily dancers and presenting themselves as harmless girls (Eri excepted), they can kick ass in a fight.
* {{Geisha}}: Explicitly not, as Michiyo has to point out to Yasuke.
* MagicDance: They are ritual dancers, so their duty is to perform one. [[spoiler:They dance to awaken Gods, and later do a dance to use ''Amanoukihashi''.]]
* PocketDimension
!!!Tropes exclusive to Sayaka:
* AddedAlliterativeAppeal: To the point her entire family name is contained in her first name.
* AttentionWhore: Downplayed, but she actually enjoys dancing to get attention.
* DanceBattler: They all dance, but only her and Yumiko dance while fighting.
* {{Foil}}: She joins Zen'i during ''Twill''. Unlike her sisters, she doesn't actually help awaken gods, she only helps hold Tora back.
!!!Tropes exclusive to Michiyo:
* ShipperOnDeck: For Rin and Yasuke. She's so obvious to it being obvious that they end up being a thing by the time she leaves.
!!!Tropes exclusive to Keiko:
* MiddleChildSyndrome: Averted. She's the de facto leader, and served as the leader and planner for the awakening of the gods.
* ReluctantWarrior: She doesn't like fighting.
!!!Tropes exclusive to Eri:
* BunnyEarsLawyer: Despite being excitable, enjoying fighting, and getting lost easily, she is serious about her duty.
* EarlyBirdCameo: She appears extremely early in ''Twill'', in the company of Kyoku and Suzume no less, and then isn't seen until the meat of the Aya sisters' plan is revealed.
* NoSenseOfDirection: She tends to get lost easily. When she reunites with her sisters, Keiko points out that she's glad Eri didn't get lost.
* SpiritedCompetitor: Unlike her sisters, she enjoys fighting.
!!!Tropes exclusive to Yumiko:
* DanceBattler: They all dance, but only her and Sayaka dance while fighting.
* IKnowMaddenKombat: She mentions liking skating and has a SlideAttack.
* TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers: Her sisters stick to the side of characters who appeared before. Yumiko appears with Huang Lin, another new character.

* BonusBoss: She can be fought in a special fight, with her unique Arena, the [[PocketDimension Empty Star House]]. However, she doesn't replace the FinalBoss.

* OneSteveLimit: There is already a Rin, and she isn't out of this game, though they rarely shared screentime, [[spoiler:at which point she is referred to as Kirin]].

* CompetenceZone: The Aya sisters are 16 to 20 years old, and are the primary protagonists (though always supporting in nature) of ''Twill''.

** Sora beat Bijin and Kai in ''Evolution'', but it's a PyrrhicVictory, and he spens ''Twill'' recovering.

* LighterAndSofter: Somewhat, but being the first in the series to avoid a bad ending counts.

* MegaCorp: Junichi's Zaibatsu is grown to this scale, furthering the AnachronismStew.

* OneSteveLimit: Averted, the game throws a second Rin into the mix, though she's referred to as Kirin, because [[AnthropomorphicPersonification that's who she is]].

* ''Twill'' covers the awakening of the gods.

* DivergentCharacterEvolution: Lampshaded as Saki and Akira, who just now meet each other. Both Zen'i's half-sisters (though with different parents), but Saki has moved on from trying to kill Zen'i while Akira hasn't.

* IKnowMaddenKombat: She mentions liking skating and has a SlideKick.

* SequelEscalation: The first game was about political battles. ''Newlight'' added a blatantly super-powered element as the BigBad instead of just an agent of chaos. ''Gaiden'' introduced bloodlines and artificial life, but ''4'' introduces **super-humans and Gods** into the cast!

* BullyingADragon: The Chinese Huang Lin is always under attack by the other characters. [[spoiler:She puts up with it until Junichi tries to kill her, at which point she reveals herself as Kirin and trounces him, Gun, and Haruki simultaneously.]]

* CurbStompCushion: [[spoiler:Her and Zen'i are subjected to this by Tora the first time around, landing a few key hits and delaying a possible return for a while.]]

* {{Foil}}: She joins Zen'i during ''Twill''. Unlike her sisters, she doesn't actually help awaken the gods, she only helps hold Tora back.

* MiddleChildSyndrome: Averted. She even served as the leader and planner for the awakening of the gods.

* EarlyBirdCameo: She appears extremely early in ''Twill'', in the company of Kyoku and Suzume no less.

* PluckyGirl: She challenged Kyoku out of the blue, no less.
--> ***Kyoku***: "And I thought you were just a girl with serious spunk..."

* BonusBoss: She can be fought in a special fight, with her unique Arena, the Empty Star House.

* StoryBreakerPower: Her AntiMagic [[spoiler:is powerful enough to work on fellow Gods]].
[[/folder]]

* DanceBattler: The game introduces the Aya sisters, all ritual dancers. However, only Sayaka and Yumiko have elements of this in their fighting style.
* DownerEnding: Averted for the first time.

* PromotedToPlayable: Bijin, Kai, Sora, Tora, Ryou, and Takeru were all seen as NPCs in ''Gaiden'', but become playable here.
* TitleDrop: ''Goshin'' stands for "five gods". Guess who are the most powerful figures involved.
