14	!!Tropes related to the series:
15
16	* TheAbridgedSeries: Duh!
17	* AffectionateNickname: Yu has taken to calling Izanagi "Izzy".
18	* AffectionateParody: It makes fun of the series, but it's obvious the team loves the original.
19	* AlphaBitch: Rise makes no effort to hide this.
20	* AmbiguouslyGay: Surprisingly averted with Kanji for the most part. Played straight with Kou, though.
21	* BreatherEpisode: Episode 4 skips the fight with Yukiko's shadow (because Yukiko accepted it without a fight) and instead focuses on Yu's time with Ai and the basketball team.
22	* ButtMonkey: Yosuke just never seems to catch a break in this series. The abuse he gets from the others (Chie in particular) doesn't help.
23	* ComicallyMissingThePoint:
24	---> '''Chie:''' Still if Rise's coming here...
25	---> '''Yosuke:''' Then she'll probably be a target.
26	---> '''Kanji:''' Target of what?
27	---> '''Yu:''' The killer who kidnapped you.
28	---> '''Kanji:''' Someone kidnapped me!?
29	* ContinuityNod: Chie references the second Social Link video (which seems to be a separate story from the main series) in episode six:
30	--> ''kicks Yosuke''
31	--> '''Yosuke''': What was that for!?
32	--> '''Chie''': Training.
33	* DeadpanSnarker: Yu has his moments.
34	* TheDitz: Yukiko doesn't talk all that much in this series, but whenever she ''does'', expect her to come with something dumb.
35	* GilliganCut: When trying to get Teddie to find Rise in the TV World.
36	--> '''Yu:''' We need you to find someone for us.
37	-->'''Teddie:''' Again?!
38	--> '''Yu:''' She's a stripper.
39	-->''(cut to Marukyu Striptease)''
40	-->'''Teddie:''' And, she's in here!
41	--> '''Yu:''' Works every time.
42	* HarshVocals: Pyro Jack ''tries'' to do this during his song in episode 3.
43	* HulkSpeak: Pyro Jack speaks like this.
44	* KidsAreCruel: Nanako is implied to be this in episode 3 after she apparently kicked Yu out of the house.
45	--> '''Yu''': Her evil knows no bounds...
46	* LargeHam: Teddie. He even quotes Shakespeare in episode 6.
47	* OhMeAccentsSlipping: ElkaChan, Chie and Naoto's voice actress, is British and you can certainly hear it at times.
48	* PottyEmergency: Yosuke, of course, but not just the first time.
49	-->'''Teddie:''' ''(from inside the TV)'' Last night, you stuck something in here and started liquidating the place--
50	-->'''Yosuke:''' Hey, it was late at night and the bathrooms were locked, what the hell was I supposed to do?
51	* ShoutOut: Plenty to ''VisualNovel/DanganronpaTriggerHappyHavoc''.
52	-->'''Naoto:''' No, that's wrong.
53	-->''(...)''
54	-->'''Yukiko:''' Hey, is that blood on the door?
55	-->'''Chie:''' Blood isn't pink, Yukiko.
56	-->'''Teddie:''' ''Puhuhuhuhu...'' you sure about that?
57	* SuicidalOverconfidence: Yu fails to understand how one-sided the fight against Shadow Rise is.
58	-->'''Yu:''' ''(as Shadow Rise blasts them again)'' It's just a flesh wound, right Izzy?
59	-->'''Izanagi:''' ''(lying on the ground with the other Personas)'' We're screwed.
60	* SuicideAsComedy: When Igor explains Social Links, Yu asks who could stretch themselves so thin between so many jobs and people in a year. Igor replies that the [[VideoGame/Persona3 last guest to the Velvet Room]] did. Yu asks how he ended up.
61	-->'''Igor:''' Uhh...
62	-->'''Makoto:''' Fuck it. ''(shoots himself in the head)''
63	-->'''Igor:''' ...That's a story for another time.
64	* ThirdPersonPerson: Pyro Jack always refers to himself this way.
65	* TheFourthWallWillNotProtectYou: Threatened in-universe when Teddie interrupts Shadow Yukiko's broadcast, and spots Yu on the other side of the screen.
66	-->'''Teddie:''' Hey, are we on TV? Can people see me? ''(gasp)'' Is that Sensei?! Sensei! Sensei! Yu Narukami from class 2-2 at Yasogami High School! Hiiiii!

70	!!Tropes related to Shuffle Time:
71	* CargoShip: [[invoked]]Reed and his tablet seems to be a {{Running Gag}}.
72	* DeerInTheHeadlights: Whenever someone makes a joke at Max after he makes fun of someone else, he appears to never quite hear it.
73	* HatesTheJobLovesTheLimelight: Reed and Max seem to both hit this equally.
74	* MotorMouth: Max (aka Skyjin24) certainly qualifies.
75	* OnceDoneNeverForgotten: No one's going to let Max forget the fact that he spent most of the second stream playing ''VideoGame/{{Borderlands}}'' instead of getting involved.
76	* OneSteveLimit: Averted. Jxsama298 and Joeykat are both named Jordan. (Joeykat is refered to as "Joey" to avoid confusion.)
