History Music / EvilliousChronicles

* StealthSequel: [[spoiler: LightNovel/UnlockCity and ''Ten Minute Love'' are this to the Chronicles as a whole.]]

** The "Master of the Heavenly Yard" song, as the series' finale, contains lyrical, instrumental, and musical callbacks to [[ContinuityCavaclade an impressive number]] of previous songs, including Regret Message, Daughter of Evil, Re_Birthday, Heartbeat Clocktower, Handbeat Clocktower, Project 'Ma', Ten Minute Love, and more.

* ReverseMole: [[spoiler:Elluka and Gumilia after joining Pere Noel.]]

* TheMole: [[spoiler: Ney Phutapie, who was a mole for Prim Marlon while she worked in the Lucifenian Royal Palace.]]

* ReverseMole: [[spoiler: Chartette dons a disguise and starts feeding information to the growing rebel group in Lucifenia, even though she still spends time drinking tea with Riliane. It's only after the revolution hits the palace that she severs all allegiance with Riliane.]]

* YourCheatingHeart:
** Yufina who was already married, to Maylis' brother Martius, was the lover of Karchess.
** Margarita's husband, who brings over his mistresses and sleeps with them while his wife is in the other room.
** Kayo's husband as well, [[spoiler: although it's subverted as her real husband was faithful to her, and she knew that Kai wasn't him from the start.]].

* YourCheatingHeart: It turns out that [[spoiler:Prim Marlon]] had an affair with [[spoiler:King Arth]], although the latter did not do so of his own free will.

** Kai Miroku is another example of this. He was born due to his mother being raped by a foreigner, leading Kai to become a member of a xenophobic extremist group, [[spoiler: for which he attempted to burn down a trade building, but was disrupted in the act and accidentally set fire to his town instead]].

* [=grEAT=] Journey

* AnimalMotifs: In "[=grEAT=] Journey", Banica's TrueCompanions are given an animal-themed moniker--Arte and Pollo are "twin rabbits", Lich is a "black bird", Eater is a "moon bear" and Carlos is a "blue dog".

'''The Seven Deadly Sins Series:''' An overarching plotline that spans throughout Evillious' history, this expands more heavily on the Demons of Sin that had a more minor role in the Daughter of Evil series. It does this through showing the exploits of other individuals possessed by the seven demons of sin, centering on their most famous and influential hosts: Duke [[{{Lust}} Sateriasis Venomania]], [[SheIsTheKing Duke]] [[VillainousGlutton Banica Conchita]], Marchioness [[{{Sloth}} Margarita Blankenheim]], [[{{Envy}} Kayo Sudou]], The Supreme Court Director of the USE Dark Star Bureau [[{{Greed}} Gallerian Marlon]], and [[{{Wrath}} Nemesis Sudou]]. {{Pride}} is the exception, as Princess Riliane Lucifen d'Autriche's life is its own series.

* {{Wrath}}: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WeouZC7r5V8 The Muzzle of Nemesis]] (Official English title: "Satan's Revenge")

* ArtifactOfDoom: The vessels used by the Demons of Sin; [[{{Lust}} the Venom Sword]], [[{{VillainousGlutton}} the Glass of Conchita]], [[{{Pride}} the Four Mirrors of Lucifenia]], [[{{Sloth}} the Clockworker's Doll]], [[{{Envy}} Kayo's Scissors]] (previously the Twin Swords of Levianta), [[{{Greed}} the Marlon Spoon]], and [[{{Wrath}} the Golden Key]].

* BilingualBonus: In "Gift from the Princess who Brought Sleep," the word "Gift" appears to be a case of GratuitousEnglish, sung in Engrish by Margarita. However, [[spoiler: it’s actually a case of GratuitousGerman, as "Gift" refers to her poison.]]

* LeaningOnTheFourthWall: Nemesis does this in "Muzzle of Nemesis," declaring the end of the "story of sinful evil" (in context, she means ending [[ArchNemesisDad her father's]] tyranny and the events that led up to it, to the audience she seems to be referring to the end of the "Seven Deadly Sins Series").

* GodSaveUsFromTheQueen: Riliane, a tyrannical despot who executes several people a month for petty crimes. [[spoiler:That is, until she realizes what she's done and regrets it, after her brother's sacrifice and death.]]

* HateSink: With every major character, including [[VillainProtagonist Riliane]], being a massive {{Woobie}}, it makes sense that there'd be characters here and there to act as lightning rods for hate in the interim. The most prominent would be [[EvilIsPetty Prim Marlon]], but [[GeneralRipper General Shalgham]] in the ''Daughter of Fog'' short story and [[AlphaBitch Chelsea]] from ''Wiegenlied of Green'' also serve this role.

** "The bell/chime that signals the end rings". A phrase present in "Daughter of Evil" at Riliane's execution, "Servant of Evil" in the same moment, "Master of the Heavenly Yard" when Riliane confronts Gammon, and [[spoiler: "Ten Minute Love", when Rin's crush is about to get off the bus.]]

* ''Original Sin Story: Crime''

* CruelTwistEnding: Could be said of the Envy arc, which ends with Gakusha, who lost his memory [[spoiler: after turning into a demon to pursue the arsonist who burnt down his town]] and was taken in and taught by a monk, performing the funeral rites for Kayo alongside [[spoiler: her executioner,]] Kokutan-douji. As he, now a monk himself, performs the ritual, his memory returns to him [[spoiler: because of a wish made by his teacher granted by the Master of the Hellish Yard that his memory be returned]], and he asks the boy, since he said he knew her, where his wife is. The boy sadly admits to him that the gibbetted head in front of him is that of his wife, but the monk doesn't believe him [[spoiler: because he doesn't know that she swapped bodies with a mage]]. He then sets out on a fruitless journey to find his beloved Kayo.

* DeadlyHug: Venomania pulls the cross dressing Karchess into a hug before Karchess stabs him.

* EverythingsSquishierWithCephalopods: The unusual "ziz tiama", otherwise known as the "Very Amazing Octopus", features throughout the series as a magical and sometimes sacrificial animal; it is both a running gag and a ShoutOut to [[Music/{{Vocaloid}} Tako Luka]]

* EverythingsSquishierWithCephalopods: Elluka's "Very Amazing Octopus".

* DictionaryOpening: The music video of "Gift from the Princess Who Brought Sleep" opens with an entry from an English-to-Japanese dictionary defining the word "gift", which appears to be the GratuitousEnglish ArcWord of the song. [[spoiler:About halfway through the video, the dictionary entry is shown again, only to be replaced by a ''German''-to-Japanese dictionary entry -- and in German, "Gift" means "poison".]]
