* AdaptationDistillation: Each installment of Tenimyu does a great job of condensing an entire arc of the manga into a two hour musical. For the Rikkai arcs in the 1st Season, it took two musicals for each.
** Even the Dream Lives represent some of the gag fillers from the manga. Dream Live 1st showcases the Bowling Tournament, Dream Live 4rd has the Seigaku-Rokkaku Beach Volley match and Dream Live 6th shows the Yakiniku Tournament between Seigaku, Higa, Shitenhouji and Hyotei.

* BreatherEpisode: The Dream Live Concerts can be considered this, since they're random events that don't count as canon in the musicals, but serve as "variety-shows" for both the cast and the fans.
* {{Bowdlerise}}: In the 4th Dream Live , the beach-volley miniarc is staged, including the accidental de-pant of Inui. Right when they pull Inui's pants down, Inui covers his butt with his notebook (Nakayama Masei was wearing an illusion net, anyway).
* ButNotTooForeign: The cast had half-japanese actors during the 1st Season run.

* TheDeterminator: Yanagi Kotarou, the first actor for Echizen Ryoma, suffered a car accident close to the premiere of Remarkable 1st Match Fudomine. Doctors predicted he would never be able to walk again. Not only did he prove them wrong, he [[HesBack came back to perform as Echizen in the second generation cast]], despite his abilities being much more limited due to his injuries. The directors and choreographers even specifically tailored the performance so that it wouldn't overstep his limitations, despite the fact that they could've easily just hired someone who was completely physically fit.

** Kamakari Kenta (the first Shishido) had A LOT in common with Shishido, which is also mentioned during a backstage interview (both are 172 cms height, B+ bloodtypes, play billiards, etc.)
** Date Koji (the first Ohtori) also was a National Ranked Tennis player when he was in highschool, and, like Ohtori, is very good at instruments (Date, however, is more rocker while Ohtori is more classically inclined).

Loads And Loads Of Characters is no longer a trope


* LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters: As the musicals went on introducing more and more teams and casts, it got to a point where there were also featured both alternate casts ''in the same Dream Live'' (In Dream Live 6, Seigaku 4 starred along Seigaku 5, Hyotei B and Shitenhouji A; While in Dream Live 7 were featured Seigaku 5, Shitenhouji A ''and'' B, Rikkaidai, the Rivals ''aaaand Seigaku 1'')
** Season 2 also included [[AscendedExtra Uchimura, Mori and Taki]], who didn't appear in the past musicals.
