added Warrior Poet.

Added DiffLines:

* WarriorPoet: Django. In the first two games, he rarely talks, saying mostly exclamations. The few times he says more than two words he is this trope. This is subverted in the third game, where he becomes a bit more talkative and less poetic.
-->'''Django''': That day, the Black Shadow that stopped Jormungandr in its tracks... Was that father? Or...
-->'''Lady''': The infamous... Shadow Immortal?
-->'''Django''': I don't know... But when the light is strong the shadows thrown out become a deeper Darkness. The dark is scary... But around dusk, I always think the same thing... It's those dark shadows that allow the world to be so...
-->'''Lady''': Beautiful... I reckon. You're a bit of a poet, aren't you, Django?

* DarkIsNotEvil: While Sabata is the "Dark Boy" and utilises the powers of darkness, he's not really a villain. Also applies to Lucian in Lunar Knights.

Took out \"Not using the Z Word\" Immortals =/= Vampires. Vampires are a type of immortal, all vampires are immortals but not all immortals are vampires. Plenty of immortals are faced in the game that are not vampires.


* NotUsingTheZWord: In the original three ''Boktai'' games, vampires are called "Immortals" 90% of the time. In ''Lunar Knights'', this is done away with; vampires are vampires and Immortals are instead [[OmnicidalManiac Omnicidally Maniacal]] aliens.

The younger Smith also falls into this category, being a master of gun making, as well as teaching Ringo how to use guns. In Lunar Knights, guild members are literally called gunslingers.


Added DiffLines:

* HannibalLecture: Duke Dumas, many times in Lunar Knights. Lucian is furious that Dumas doesn't even remember that he killed his lover, and Dumas remarks that [[NotSoDifferent Lucian probably doesn't know the names of all of the enemies the player has killed up to that point.]] He does it to Aaron as well, claiming that he's really fueled by revenge for Dumas killing his father (who he does remember) rather than fighting for justice.

Added DiffLines:

* {{Nerf}}: There's actually a series-wide example with Django. In the first game, his Gun Del Sol had arguably the fastest Shooting Frequency. Then came ''Boktai 2'', where the frequency of the Solar Gun was a little bit lowered, but had a pretty decent attacking-speed with other weapons. Fast forward to ''Boktai 3'', and the speed of his swordslashes was downgraded so much it got even riskier to attack the enemies up front (without using certain, faster hitting weapons) and just stick with the Solar Gun, which was improved from its ''Boktai 2''-incarnation (thanks to it being customizable again).
