* OvershadowedByAwesome: Kyoko may be the [[GreatDetective Ultimate Detective]], but she is still a normal human being against a super-tech bounty hunter. [[spoiler:When she gets captured, she needs an outside intervention to free her from her bonds. She has to use her wits to trick her captors away from her, but one of her captors uses advanced technology from the future so he can easily track her down again. But all that did was buy her more time for the party to rescue her.]]
** The VideoGame/DIDNapper universe is a medieval era so they would be armed with swords and shields. [[spoiler: Unfortunately, they're no match for [[ProfessionalKiller So]][[BountyHunter lo]]'s more advanced weaponry. [[CurbStompBattle The entire kidnapping guild is completely trounced by Solo]], and dispatch Suki and her friends with sleeping gas while they're distracted.]]



* RealityEnsues: quite a few.
** Going near a giant fiery monster when it's gone berserk is dangerous! [[spoiler:Hans tries to summon Ifrit and sic him at the party, but he butchers the summoning rite that causes the fire demon to go berserk. Did Hans make a run for it? Nope! He's confident that he has the creature under control and bark orders... then Ifrit proceeds to set Hans on fire.]]

*** [[spoiler:Further cemented when Naegi discovers a broken sword. He deduces that [[LastVillainStand one of the guild members tried to attack Solo with it,]] [[NoSell only for it to break into pieces.]]]]
** While it's PlayedForLaughs, Ifrit makes a good point while he's arguing with [[TheDitz Lemon Magician Girl]] about what Makoto should eat, especially if you look at his physique. Eating more salad isn't going to cut it for Makoto. Since he'll be fighting all day, he's going to need a lot of energy and meat provides him with the necessary energy.

** It's subtle but Frontier Story made fun of the typical RPG Maker horror tropes during a rescue mission at Rokkenjima. [[spoiler: If Makoto Naegi reads the Golden Witch's epitaph, [[{{Beat}} he'll pause for a moment]]. Nothing happens. Then we get this shining line.]]
--> '''Rhajat''': [[JumpScare Were you expecting something like a ghost coming out]] and either [[DemonicPossession possess you]] or [[SuperPersistentPredator maybe chase you around?]]
--> '''Naegi''': Honestly... kinda.
--> '''Donald''': That's kinda cliche and overdone if you asked me.

** There's also one earlier before the EscortMission when the party finds Carol in her cell. There's a timed battle; the party must defeat a group of enemies under 4 turns. Failing to do so results in Carol teleported away to a place where the party is unable to reach. To make matters worse, Carol is surrounded by some thugs. It cuts to the thugs carrying a sleeping Carol, bound and gagged, away. With no way to reach her, the party fails the mission. Like in the EscortMission, [[spoiler: Elda's silhouette]] will appear in the dialogue box to taunt Naegi for his failure.

* NonstandardGameOver: In the [[VideoGame/DIDnapper DIDnapper]] sidequest, there's one segment where Naegi must guide Suki and a tied-up Carol in an EscortMission. If Carol gets KO'd in battle, a small cutscene shows Carol recaptured by the enemies and Suki, distracted by the whole thing, gets captured as well. Naegi tries to save them, but a mook knocks him out from behind, resulting in an instant Game Over. [[spoiler: Elda's silhouette]] appears in the dialogue box and proceeds to taunt Naegi for failing to protect Suki and Carol.
---> [[spoiler: Elda]]: "That girl, Suki, was counting on you. Yet, you failed her."


Added DiffLines:

* StealthBasedMission: There's one segment that also counts as an EscortMission. Getting caught by enemies result in a fight, but one of the party members must stay alive. If the party member in question is KO'd, it results in a NonstandardGameOver.

* WeaponsKitchenSink: You've got knives, guns, swords, spears, hammers and more. But in this case, as the Realmwalkers need to travel between many worlds of varying technological sophistication and the various Rune Classes best work with one weapon or another, this trope is a bit more justified.
