* AGodAmI: [[spoiler: The Tennou.]]
** [[spoiler: He is, by all means, a PhysicalGod.]]
* GodEmperor: The Japonian Tennou.
** [[spoiler: Same reason as above.]]

* [[spoiler: TheGreys and TheReptilians:]] A compulsory part of the many Nazi conspiracies making up the Reich.

* BiTheWay: Shogun of Two of the Tengoku, bordering on AnythingThatMoves with his advances on Sakahara and girls around him.

* {{Bishoujo}} / {{Bishounen}}: Again, too many to list.

** China is very much a modern version of that from RomanceOfTheThreeKingdoms. Minus the Three (Chinese) Kingdoms.

* CharacterizationMarchesOn: Originally only a mild faction based off [[VideoGame/CommandAndConquerRedAlert3 the Empire of the Rising Sun]], the Mugen Tengoku then evolves to slowly catch up with ImperialJapan and UsefulNotes/NaziGermany, then exceed the sum of both. It's now either a very dark shade of grey or even ALighterShadeOfBlack.

* CrapsackWorld: So you have an [[ImperialJapan Imperial Japanese]] regime that makes UsefulNotes/NaziGermany cringe in comparison, a Nazi German Reich that has reformed itself to be much more left-wing (but still totalitarian) in nature, a faux-matriarchy of [[MagicalGirl Magical]] [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} Cloudcuckoolanders]], a UsefulNotes/ByzantineEmpire that has taken over Vatican, Jerusalem and Mecca that goes on to oppressing everyone not following the Roman Pagan religion, a [[UsefulNotes/SovietRussiaUkraineAndSoOn Soviet Union]] that is... [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin no different from the former Soviet Union]], and a {{Cloudcuckoolander}} faux-Commonwealth. What could possibly go wrong?

** The last US President's name is [[VideoGame/CommandAndConquerRedAlert3 Howard T. Ackerman]]. [[spoiler: Appropriately, he's TheMole of ImperialJapan.]]

* DangerouslyGenreSavvy: Sakahara and The Tennou. Both will sometimes [[LampshadeHanging lampshade it]].

* TheReveal: Sakahara’s real name is [[spoiler: [[JapaneseMythology Izanagi]].]]

** Isla ''[[ErwinRommel Rommel]]''.

* AnimeHair: Sakahara and The Tennou when he doesn't wear anything over his head.

* AuthorityInNameOnly: The Japonian Tennou, for all reasons and purposes, is a figurehead ruler, whose powers in every fields are behind that of the Supreme Shogun.

** The Tennou is [[Manga/DeathNote Light Yagami]] if he chose to wear ScaryShinyGlasses, sport wild black AnimeHair and instead of getting the Death Note, gets a similar [[Anime/CodeGeass Geass]] that functions disturbingly like how a [[Manga/ElfenLied Diclonius]] fights.
** Alternatively, Sakahara is the [[VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft Kel'Thuzad]] to The Tennou's [[VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft Arthas]]. [[spoiler: The latter became a completely different person after lusting for vengeance, and the former is his twisted friend.]]

** On a personal level, The Tennou, Sakahara, Wilhelmina von Wagnerberg, and perhaps Tsuya Mokuji, are the specialists in the fields of physical or psychological torment.

* AGodAmI: The Tennou.

* GoryDiscretionShot: Special mention goes to Sakahara, The Tennou, Tsuya Mokuji and Wilhelmina von Wagnerberg.
* GreatOffScreenWar: The Absolute Revolution.

* InstantDeathBullet: Pistols with these are carried by the Tennou, Sakahara, and Wilhelmina.

* ItGetsEasier: The Tennou.

* KarmaHoudini: The Tennou.

* ManipulativeBastard: The Tennou and Sakahara when he doesn't feel particularly nice.

* MeaningfulName: ''[[UsefulNotes/HidekiTojo Hideki]]'' Minamoto. It gets worse from there.

* MixedAncestry: Invoked by the Japonian Tennou, whose agenda is to create a world where there are no longer separate races.

* ScaryShinyGlasses: The Tennou, when he's not in his LightIsNotGood [[ImpossiblyCoolClothes Impossibly Cool Imperial Attire]].

* MadScientist: Gerlach Krombholz, Albrecht Derrotte and Kuro Ishii. [[spoiler: The last is a case of EvilutionBiologist and a minor [[TheDragon Dragon]] to The Tennou.]]

* TearJerker: [[spoiler: Viktoria's backstory and the chaotic Japonian Civil War, filled with deaths and bittersweet, melancholic taste.]]
