1%% Administrivia/ZeroContextExample entries are commented out.
2
3%%* DemonicSpiders: Goketsuji sisters.
4%%* EnsembleDarkHorse: Clara.
5* EvenBetterSequel: ''2'' is essentially stated to be where the series took off and started to stand out more from the pack of ''Street Fighter'' imitators. Ironic for a game that was parodying said series who likewise was more renowned for it's sequel than it's first incarnation. Go fig.
6* FanNickname:
7** ''Legends'' and ''Matrimelee'' were called ''Gogetsuji Legends'' and just ''Matrimelee'' in the US, but most fans use the ''Power Instinct'' prefix when referring to them for the sake of consistency. Also, ''Matsuri Senzo Kuyou'' is called as ''Power Instinct 5''.
8** The blue-ish aura that surrounds a character when they gain a level in their power bar is called "Stress Flame" by fans because said power bar is known as the "Stress Meter". Since ''Legends'', every character (or almost everyone) has one or two special moves that become stronger if performed while dashing or right after a dashing attack, those have been nicknamed "Shadow Attacks".
9* MemeticMutation: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m9xl-Pm3Xg0 Let's Go! Onmyoji]] has become popular on Website/NicoNicoDouga. It's also kind of an ear worm.
10* NightmareFuel: Otane suddenly barging in to take over as the final boss in the second game, while the camera focuses on her exaggeratedly wrinkly face.
11* OlderThanTheyThink: Annie's super throw is similar to that of Gonzales from ''VideoGame/GlobalChampion''.
12* SuspiciouslySimilarSong:
13** Reiji's theme song is an obvious parody of the Advertising/SegataSanshiro theme song.
14** The song ''It's the Little Things that Make Me Happy'' from ''Matrimelee'' sounds a lot like the same lyrical and musical style used by the Japanese folk singer Hako Yamasaki and her legendary style of dramatical screaming when singing, more accurately in her song ''Nostalgia'', as you can hear [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QLAwp_irT_s right here]].
15* ThatOneBoss: Even when they're normal[=/=]not-boss characters, Goketsuji sisters are very tough opponents to fight against. Especially Otane in the first game and Oume in the second one.
