3	''Daemon Bride'' is a 2D FightingGame made by Examu of ''VideoGame/ArcanaHeart'' fame, and the gameplay is pretty similar too. It could be said that Daemon Bride is what ''VideoGame/BlazBlue'' is for ''VideoGame/ArcanaHeart'''s ''VideoGame/GuiltyGear'', well except that Daemon Bride replaces 'Arcana' with 'Angels and Demons' for helpers, and has more sausages compared to VideoGame/ArcanaHeart's [[ImprobablyFemaleCast melon-fest]]. It sadly has yet to receive a console release nor a release outside the Japanese version.

5	The game takes place in a school named "Kyoritsu Stella" where students received Contracts from the higher beings to reshape the torn world after a certain incident. Those receiving the Contract of Angel want to use the power to protect the world. Those who receive the Contract of Demon want to use the power for their personal gain, though most of the time they're not necessarily evil. This obviously led to a clash between both sides.
6
7	The main characters/rival setting include Kuon Sumeragi of the Angel side, helped with Angel Michael, and Reizei Abane of the Demon side, helped with Demon Lucifer. And in case you're wondering, despite the names, the helpers are ''female''. But aside of them, the game also offers various characters too.
8
9	It was first released on July 16th, 2009. It has since received an update a la ''VideoGame/BlazBlueContinuumShift'' which adds up balance changes, sidebars a la ''VideoGame/ArcanaHeart 3'' and a new character (Pure), titled ''Daemon Bride: Additional Gain''.

11	----
12	!!1st Crusade. Judge!
13	%% * BigBad: The final boss Dies Irae with Demiurge.
14	* CaptainErsatz: Kuon looks a bit like [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam00 Setsuna F. Seiei]], and also has [[Creator/MamoruMiyano the same voice]] to boot.
15	** Souya also looks a bit like [[Manga/{{Bleach}} Szayel Apollo Grantz]] while having green hair like [[VideoGame/BlazBlue Hazama]] (and had [[Creator/YuuichiNakamura his voice]] too)
16	* ChurchMilitant: Licht Wulfstan Schwarz and Yui Emelia Mitsukihara. Or at least that's how their costume is like.
17	* DarkIsNotEvil: Despite being helped by Demons, those who side with them aren't cackling evil maniacs, they're just mostly rebellious.
18	* DudeLooksLikeALady: Noah Tobari. Look at his design, he has short, but slightly girlish hair, delicate face, wears a skirt, has a female voice. Until you realize that every 'Angel'/'Demon' helper is always of the opposite sex...
19	* EmbodimentOfVirtue: The Brides of the Angel side, named after the Seven Archangels.
20	** Michael: Righteousness
21	** Uriel: Courage
22	** Rafael: Wisdom
23	** Gabriel: Love
24	** Zadkiel: Loyalty / Faith
25	** Metatron: Fidelity / Chastity
26	** Haniel: Prudence
27	* EvilCounterpart: Judgment Day is basically an 'evil' Kuon on the Demon side with a [[FaceHeelTurn Fallen Michael]]. Meanwhile, Rebellion is basically a 'good' Reizei on the Angel side with a [[HeelFaceTurn 'Redeemed' Lucifer]]. In ''Additional Gain'', Pure is one for Nina, basically Nina with devil horns and a [[FaceHeelTurn Fallen Zadkiel]].
28	* FemmeFatale: Eve. Not only she's the token 'big boobs' character and being on the Devil side... she also abuses her Devil like a dominatrix.
29	* GentleGiant: Despite being with a Demon which is a poisoning squid and a big scary bald guy, Dawn is actually more kind-hearted and doesn't like unnecessary conflicts
30	* GiantSquid: Dawn's Demon Mammon takes form of one, and attached itself to Dawn's arm. [[CombatTentacles Guess what it's used for]]
31	%% * GratuitousEnglish: "Crusade Is End"
32	* HeelFaceTurn: Shining Rebellion and Judgement Day compared to their normal counterparts. See the EvilCounterpart section above.
33	* HiddenBuxom: Even if she is fully dressed, you might not realize that Yui Emelia's bust size is... 91 cm.
34	* HotBlooded: Asuma Shidou, moreso that his Angel lets him [[PlayingWithFire play with fire]], and he yells ontop of his lungs in every opportunity.
35	** Also while Reizei kept his cool most of the time, sometimes when he attacks, he is pretty HotBlooded to near Creator/NobuyukiHiyama levels (kudos goes to [[Creator/KisshoTaniyama the seiyuu]] for such near-perfect imitation)
36	* HotLibrarian: Emelia
37	* ImprobableWeaponUser: Nina Sumeragi uses a gigantic ''scissors'' to fight.
38	* KickChick: Eve
39	* ReptilesAreAbhorrent: Demon Asmodeus takes form of a snake, and makes contract to an otherwise demure Kureha Yamisaka, turning her into the Demon side.
40	* TheRival: Since Kuon is the default hero, Reizei takes this spot.
41	* {{Satan}}: One of the Demons named after him possessed a dog named Pekomaru, making it [[NinjaPirateZombieRobot a bipedal shadow dog with a Pteranodon skull for head]].
42	* SensibleHeroesSkimpyVillains: Every Angel side characters are well dressed or at least cover much of their skins. Every Demon side characters usually shows more skins (''especially Eve''), with the possible exception of Shiffon. The exceptions are probably [[EvilCounterpart Rebellion, Judgment Day and Pure]].
43	* SevenDeadlySins: The Brides of the Demon side, almost all but one of them being named after the Seven Princes of Hell (Belphegor was not included at all in this game but was replaced by Astaroth as the Demon of Sloth).
44	** Lucifer: Pride
45	** Astaroth: Sloth
46	** Satan: Wrath
47	** Mammon: Greed
48	** Leviathan: Envy
49	** Asmodeus: Lust
50	** Beelzebub: Gluttony
51	* SinisterScythe: Kureha. But her personality is more demure than the trope says.
52	* SNKBoss: Dies Irae can be this, with his constant teleporting, lock on projectiles (not to mention more conventional ones that do obscene damage) and a super that does around 80% of your health bar.
53	* StudentCouncilPresident: Kuon is Kyoritsu Stella's president. Reizei used to be vice-president, but left and his spot was replaced by Asuma.
54	%% * SpiritualSuccessor: To VideoGame/ArcanaHeart.
55	%% * TokenMiniMoe: Nina
56	* VictoryPose: One of the few fighting games to NOT include this. Once you beat your enemy for the last round, the screen fades to white and it goes to your character stating their victory quote.
