Evil Is Sexy TRS; this has become an objective, in-universe trope.


** Jek, possibly due to EvilIsSexy and his interactions with Ritsuka before it's clear that she doesn't want to have anything to do with him whatsoever. It's to the point where he gets his own songs in the stage plays and the movie, both in equally catchy jazz.

* EvilIsSexy: Jek. Even more so after he got his own songs where it's clear that vampires dominate the Jazz genre. To a lesser extent, there's also Shiki, Noel, and depending on how you view his actions in ''Fortuna'' and ''Fermata'', Marius after he changes clothes.

** Fans had been theorizing that [[spoiler: Lindo and Ritsuka [[NotBloodSiblings weren't actually biologically related]]]] ever since episode 2 showed a picture of the kids and Ritsuka's aunt. [[spoiler: Notice how Lindo's hair color matches the aunt's, while Ritsuka's matches her own mother's...]]
** There's also the fact that it's a fairly common trope in the genre. When this troper's first thought was: [[spoiler: "He is WAY too hot to not be in the harem. He's either adopted or her cousin." ]]

* FandomRivalry: With ''VisualNovel/DiabolikLovers'' - the ''Dance with Devils'' anime premiered the same season as ''Diabolik Lovers'''s 2nd season, but the former was more well-received than the latter which got particularly '''''horrible''''' reviews. Outside of the anime, some ''[=DwD=]'' fans outside Japan often complain about ''[=DiaLovers=]'' getting the lion's share of Rejet's attention even with their other ''many'' vampire-themed otome series while there hasn't been new content for ''[=DwD=]'' since ''Fermata'' in 2018. Despite this, there are fans of both series.

* EnsembleDarkhorse : Azuna is quite popular despite her [[OutOfFocus lack of screentime]] and KilledOffForReal in episode 8. She won many fans' hearts for being TrueCompanions to Ritsuka and [[spoiler: capable ActionGirl by fighting against demons, since she is an exorcist.]]

to:

* EnsembleDarkhorse : BigLippedAlligatorMoment: The pink whale in the ''Dance with Eternity'' sequence in ''Fortuna''. There's no known symbolism behind it, it does not have any buildup - it's just there for a moment and then disappears. Some viewers have decided to chalk it up to Marius trolling, but even then it's unknown how much influence he has in each timeline.

** The twitter community on the Japanese side of the fandom is home to a small but dedicated community for Marius, due to his good looks and the numerous EpilepticTrees surrounding him, his existence and how will he impact the series moving forward. It also helps that he's voiced by Creator/ToshiyukiToyonaga, who's in almost every well-known ''Rejet'' work to date bar ''VisualNovel/DiabolikLovers''.

* FanficFuel: There are a lot of fanfics going around focusing on past events, especially in the west since only the anime is readily available. Topics include Rem's past, Roen's time in Maksis's servitude and how the Tachibana sisters met [[spoiler: their husbands]].

* BrokenBase: ''Dance with Devils Fortuna'''s ending. You're either happy that [[spoiler: Lindo]] gets an on-screen happy ending, or you feel that the other boys 'got cheated'. Especially with the fact that the movie having MultipleEndings was promised, but ended up being a 30-second monologue of one of the male love interests depending on where and when the movie was screened with the actual ending going to only 1 person.

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodCharacter:
** Despite being the series' poster boy, Rem is the only member of the main ensemble to not have a complete backstory and the only way for people to know him better is through the PS Vita Games... which so far [[NoExportForYou is not legally available outside Japan.]]
** Some people believe Urie, Mage and Roen to be this as they do not have any media where they end up with Ritsuka yet.[[labelnote:note]]Rem has the anime and the stage plays, the ''Dance with Devils Blight'' manga focuses on Shiki and Lindo emerges victorious in the movie and the stage plays depending on the ending.[[/labelnote]]
** Among the minor characters, Marius gets hit with it the most. He only shows up in ''Fortuna'' and ''Fermata'', yet has little to no character development to date despite the marketing hyping him up for the former. He also has the least singing lines of the main cast in both appearances.

** After ''Dance with Devils Fortuna'', Marius ended up as a walking example of this trope since even after the movie and the stage play, very little is known about him.
