Despite that, it maintains a cult following in some online fighting game circles, and a sequel, ''[[http://aja-games.com/aja_blog/ Big Bang Beat Revolve]]'', or ''BBBR'', has been made by [[VideoGame/KoumajouDensetsu Frontier Aja]], who took over production from NRF and periodically released alpha versions of the game prior to its debut at Comiket 80.

* {{Delinquents}}: Ren, Sanzou, Agito, and Rouga, though only the first two have the 'look' of the Japanese variety. They are joined in the second game by the Miyazato Gundan.

* GlassCannon: In ''BBB'', Super Heita's defensive skills are fairly low compared to his damage output because he loses life as he attacks. Luckily, picking up B-Crystals helps to mitigate the health loss. In ''BBBR'', Senna and Kunagi both can fit into this mold, since they have below average health and incredibly damaging setups.
* HPToOne: Heita's "Decade Knuckle" causes this effect on ''himself'' when used in ''BBB'' or ''BBBR''. This is a reference to [[spoiler:its life-draining property in ''Big Bang Age'', where it costs him 10 years of life just to use it once; if you use it 7 times in that game, he dies]].

* LargeHam: While their regular iterations have elements of this, Devil Daigo and Super Heita take this to an extreme.

* {{Montages}}: Comically used in Heita/Super Heita's "Decade Knuckle" technique, and includes the FallingInLoveMontage (Heita's dates and marriage to Sanae, the class representative and tutorial girl), a variation on the ContrastMontage (showing Heita as the main character instead of Rouga, who becomes a trivialized chibi), and a scene of him dying peacefully of old age with Sanae at his side--all stuff he can't do because he's pretty weak [[spoiler:and about to [[CastFromLifespan literally punch 10 years off his lifespan]] anyway]].

* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Heita's surname is spelled as Jinnai in ''Big Bang Age'' and as Zinnai in ''BBB''. It's understandable, as "z" sounds in Japanese are sometimes represented with "j" sounds. A similar misspelling/phonetic shift has made Akito of the Dark into Agito of the Dark.

* ZettaiRyouiki: Senna, thanks to her uniform.

* BruceLeeClone: Daigo uses moves that are associated with the Great One, and has similar loud battle cries. He also wears a [[GameOfDeath tracksuit]], albeit a blue one.

!Both ''Big Bang Beat'' and ''Big Bang Beat Revolve'' provide examples of:

* HPToOne: Heita's "Decade Knuckle" causes this effect on ''himself'' when used in ''BBB'' or ''BBBR''. This is a reference to [[spoiler:its life-draining property in ''Big Bang Age'', where it costs him 10 years of life just to use it once; if you use it 7 times in that game, he dies]].

''DAIGO BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAM!''
-->-The voice that haunts the nightmares of millions [[AnticlimaxBoss (just kidding)]]

* HPToOne: Heita's "Decade Knuckle" causes this effect on ''himself'' when used in ''BBB'' or ''BBBR''. This is a reference to its CastFromLifespan property in ''Big Bang Age''; if you use it 7 times in that game, he dies, though no such limitation exists in ''BBB'' or ''BBBR'' except for the resources you need to perform the move.

* {{Montages}}: Comically used in Heita/Super Heita's "Decade Knuckle" technique, and includes the FallingInLoveMontage (Heita's dates and marriage to Sanae, the class representative and tutorial girl), a variation on the ContrastMontage (showing Heita as the main character instead of Rouga, who becomes a trivialized chibi), and a scene of him dying peacefully of old age with Sanae at his side--all stuff he can't do because he's pretty weak and about [[CastFromLifespan literally punch 10 years off his lifespan]] anyway.

* CastFromLifespan: Heita's "Ten Years Knuckle". It hits extremely hard but once you are done with it, it leaves Heita with 1 HP and, according to ''BBA'', removes 10 years to his lifespan, as it's name also suggests. If you do that move 7 times in ''BBA'', he dies. However, there is nothing to stop you to use this move more than 7 times in neither ''BBB'' or ''BBBR''.

* {{Montages}}: Comically used in Heita/Super Heita's "Ten Years Knuckle" technique, and includes the FallingInLoveMontage (Heita's dates and marriage to Sanae, the class representative and tutorial girl), a variation on the ContrastMontage (showing Heita as the main character instead of Rouga, who becomes a trivialized chibi), and a scene of him dying peacefully of old age with Sanae at his side. Stuff he can't do because he's essentially a sidekick and he is about to [[CastFromLifespan literally punch 10 years off his lifespan]] anyway.

* {{Montages}}: Comically used in Heita/Super Heita's Decade Knuckle technique, and includes the FallingInLoveMontage (Heita's dates and marriage to Sanae, the class representative and tutorial girl), a variation on the ContrastMontage (showing Heita as the main character instead of Rouga, who becomes a trivialized chibi), and a scene of him dying peacefully of old age with Sanae at his side.

* LargeHam: While their regular iterations have elements of this, Devil Daigo and Super Heita take this to an extreme.\

* LargeHam: While their regular iterations have elements of this, Devil Daigo and Super Heita take this to an extreme.
* LethalJokeCharacter: Despite an extremely small moveset, Hanny can be deadly in the right hands, since it's tricky to hit with its small size and has some pretty strong techniques of the melee and ranged variety due to its ability to switch between them on the fly.

* SuperMode: [[MagikarpPower By using Heita's long-winded taunt four times in a row]] (''BBB'' only), or triggering Big Bang Mode in ''BBBR'', his "Super Mode" transformation is activated, increasing his power and speed. Daigo's power-up comes in the form of Devil Daigo, though it has effects on more than just his fighting skills--he gains X-ray vision, which he uses to peep on girls.
** Big Bang Mode effectively counts as this for every character in the second game. Though it lasts for an extremely short time, it gives unlimited super meter for the duration of the mode, and greatly boosts the combo potential of every character while active.

* UseYourHead: Ren's regular grab, and one of his super moves, involves a nasty headbutt. The latter, which is part of a close-range grab super, can be charged up with precise timing to do even more damage.

* VariableLengthChain: Erika Miyazato uses one with barbs and spikes for long-range and ensnarement attacks.

* ImprobableWeaponUser: Ren is big on this trope. [[MolotovCocktail Molotovs]], empty soda cans and a concrete block or two are all fair game.

* ActionGirl: Senna

* AllergicToLove: Burai is extremely shy around girls in Big Bang Age. Referenced in ''BBB''/''BBBR'' by his intro against any girl:
-->Burai: * grunts* O-Onna ga aite to wa? ("I'm fighting a girl?")

* CallingYourAttacks: Played with--some characters' voice clips do not name the attacks specifically, though exceptions are usually made for super moves. Daigo and Heita, however, take great pleasure in announcing their attacks whenever possible, even the regular ones.

* DangerousForbiddenTechnique: Heita's Decade Knuckle, though he's not aware of it; true to its name, [[CastFromLifespan it shaves 10 years off his life every time he uses it.]] While this isn't mentioned in ''BBB'' or ''BBBR'', it is referenced by the fact that Heita (and Super Heita)'s Big Bang Break reduces his health to [[HPToOne one point]], and that ''BBB'''s Super Heita [[CastFromHP loses health whenever he attacks.]]

* DualWielding: As the best fighter in the ''kendo'' club, [[MeaningfulName Kendo]] Nakanishi uses not one, but TWO ''[[WoodenKatanasAreEvenBetter shinai]]''.

* EyesAlwaysShut: Burai, which is the source of Rouga's nickname for him ("the fine-eyed baron").
* ExtremityExtremist: Burai, being a boxer, relies solely on punches.

* GenkiGirl: Kendo combines this with a ridiculous level of brashness and a love of fighting, which embarrasses her [[ShrinkingViolet quieter sister]] Kyudo.

* HotBlooded: Kendo, Daigo, and Heita. All the time.

* KnifeNut: Agito, down to the [[EvilLaugh insane laughter]] and general insanity that makes [[{{Shuffle}} "Boxcutter" Kaede]] look like a saint.

* MegatonPunch: Heita's Decade Knuckle; Burai's Freedom Punch and Fist of Freedom.

* MolotovCocktail: Ren throws these out as one of his special moves, causing a multi-hit fire on the spot where it lands. He can hit them with his wooden sword as well, smashing them into the opponent, and his super move causes him to throw several of them at once. [[ImprobableWeaponUser Along with several empty soda cans and a concrete block or two.]]

* TokenMiniMoe: In the first game, Kunagi; in the second, she's joined by Kinako Tsukuyomi. However, Kunagi [[OlderThanTheyLook is actually around the age of the rest of the cast.]] She was [[BalefulPolymorph turned into a giant wolf]], and she reverted into a child-like body when she regained her human form.

* WoodenKatanasAreEvenBetter: Ren walks around with a hardwood ''bokuto''.
