* RecurringRiff: Beelzebub's theme in this game ("Existence") uses the intro of the ''Granblue'' song "Paradise Lost", as Beelzebub is an antagonist in the "What Makes The Sky Blue" arc from the gacha game. It's a nod to how the intro of "Paradise Lost" can be heard in the {{Leitmotif}}s of Belial ("Parade's Lust") and Lucilius ("Zero") who are also "What Makes The Sky Blue" arc villains. The Primal Beast Avatar also appears as a boss in RPG Mode, having the original "Paradise Lost" song as its leitmotif because it's also a villain from that arc.

* ChargedAttack: Various normal attacks, Skills, special moves and [[LimitBreak super moves]] involve holding down the attack button, though the implementation or effects may greatly vary depending on the character. Many charged attacks release the typical stronger version of a move (e.g. Percival's "Lohenwolf"), some have unique charge levels that can be stored and unleashed later (e.g. Gran's "Power Raise"), while others may have entirely unique gimmicks (e.g. Lancelot's "Turbulenz" doing a follow-up attack). Charged attacks are such a ubiquitous mechanic here, the characters' Command Lists would helpfully label them with the "Chargeable" text in its command inputs.

* InconsistentDub: Percival gets hit with this in two ways. In the original game, his English dialogue doesn't match the character animations and is both translated and delivered in a way that gives him a completely different characterization than the original Japanese dialogue. The recast in ''Rising'' fixes this with a more TruerToTheText translation, but this results in the carried-over dialogue from the first game no longer matching his updated dialogue.

The old linked video from Bowdlerise is now gone unfortunately, but this info/example can still be easily searched online anyway.


* {{Bowdlerise}}: By default, Metera's and Zeta's outfits were censored in this game, but this can be {{subverted}} as the "original" uncensored versions can still be unlocked by beating RPG Mode and toggled in the settings.

** The other three involve manual counter-attacks, varying mostly in their semantics. "Punish!" happens if the character attacks just after blocking the opponent's attack, "Counter!" deals more damage and hitsun than usual but it only happens if the character attacks when the opponent whiffs or fumbles the timing of their own move, "Crush!" happens if a stronger attack beats a weaker attack when both of them were about to clash simultaneously. Some characters' unique defensive skills (such as Katalina's "Light Wall" or Narmaya's "Freeflutter: Mugenkagura") can also be classified into one or more of these depending on their timing.
