* BottomlessMagazines: This is how the Spell Card system translates Megas's missile-based weaponry. As long as it's firing danmaku, Megas will never run out of firepower. This doesn't seem to apply to its more specialized weaponry, such as the beam-gatling guns used against Yuuka.[[labelnote:*]]Previously used against the REGIS Mk. V.[[/labelnote]]

** During what was supposed to be a friendly meeting between Coop and Yuuka, Megas accidentally kicks Rumia into the Garden of the Sun, breaking several sunflowers. Due to her resulting anger, Yuuka never even ''tries'' to figure out the truth behind what happened until ''after'' the fight is over.

* PoorCommunicationKills: Both major fights are brought about because of this.
** While en route to the Human Village to buy supplies for Reimu, Suika was passing by the area where Megas was cleaning house with the mob of giant fairies. She loses the Ibuki Gourd by complete accident, and in her drunken stupor she starts to believe that Coop--who had never met her before--had taken it intentionally. Coop tries to claim that he had no idea what was going on, but this only provokes Suika into super-sizing herself and saying the page quote.

* UnusuallyUninterestingSight: In Goat's cameo, he seems perturbed at first by the giant portal in his junkyard... then sees Megas on the other side, upon which he just nods and goes about his business. Reimu mentally lampshades this.

* BigEater: Yuyuko, of course. She lampshades it later, saying that she likes good food as much as the next person but that she wasn't ravenous enough to eat ''all'' the snacks Coop gave her.



* EvilRedhead: Granted this ''was'' Marisa's original look when she debuted in ''Story of Eastern Wonderland'', but here that appearance is revealed to be the result of a magic accident that took place when she was still apprenticing under Mima. Reimu's thoughts show that she'd mistaken it for a wig.

* MeleeATrois: It turns out there's a provision in the Spell Card rules for this. At least four people with no prior alliances need to agree to a fight, and it has to take place in open air so that there's enough room to dodge the sheer volume of danmaku that would result. One Spell Card is allowed per combatant, and the winner is the last one left standing.
