Pre-Release Info/Trailers
- Jin's only purpose in the first teaser trailer seems to be getting his ass handed to him.
- Yosuke is STILL under the title "Captain Ressentiment" from Arena. This implies that ALL the Persona characters will retain their embarrassing titles, even though some characters like Jin received a new one.
- And it seems to be confirmed as Chie also still has the title "Spunky Dragon with Deadly Legs."
- In the ArcNama stream where they revealed the second trailer, ASW showed stats for all the characters. Ragna's luck is 1 star while Yu's is 5. Jin also has 1 star in luck, with Yosuke not doing much better with 2 stars in luck... but he has 12 stars in speed.note Instead of luck, Ruby has a kawaii stat, which is also rated 12 stars.
- After finishing a support attack, your team member will strike a pose or taunt for a few seconds. Because of this, however, it leaves them open for a counterattack.
- In this game, character-specific vs. themes have been recycled as team themes. While some may qualify as awesome or heartwarming depending on the characters involved, the dissonance between the theme and/or its characters may warrant some chuckles of amusement such as "Under Heaven Destruction" (Ragna and Jin) or "Nightmare Fiction" (Ragna and Hazama) that goes along with the sheer audacity of having said characters on the same team in the first place!
- The third character reveal trailer came with more character stats hilarity. Weiss shares Ruby's 12-star Kawaii, Noel's luck is only slightly better than Ragna and Jin's at 2 stars and Rachel's luck stat is replaced with "Georg" which is just three images of George XIII.
- In his home series, Hazama is one of a handful of characters who lacks a proper dash, and Cross Tag Battle has removed dashing in favor of having characters run to move around on the ground. Instead of tweaking his sprites to incorporate Terumi's running animation or extend his step-dash into a "glide" similar to what Relius is capable of, Hazama's "running" animation is simply him multi-stepping in rapid succession.
- The fourth character trailer had Azrael and Yukiko break the rating scales with 9 stars in Attack and Range respectively, but Gordeau, instead of having luck, has 6 stars in a stat called "Grim Reaper," referencing his signature screen-wide special attack. Azrael also has 8-star luck, cementing him as the luckiest character in BlazBlue (which admittedly doesn't say much).
- Continuing the gag of "Luck stat replacements", Nu has a Ragna stat, which is measured at five Ragna hearts, to go with her broken Range rating; Es also has a broken Kawaii rating; Makoto also has 2 stars in Luck (par for the course, really); and Tager has an eight-star GETB note rating.
- The sheer fact that Yang's new art made her already impressive breasts even bigger! (Granted, there was already a precedent for the RWBY characters with Ruby and Blake; Yang's Fanservice Pack is simply the most noticeable example by far.)
- Hilariously, the only member of Team RWBY who has not received an increase in breast size is Weiss, who Fanon commonly depicts as having A-Cup Angst. And Weiss doesn't exactly take it very well when Platinum does what she does and mocks her cup size in-game.
- Back at it with the "Luck stat replacements", Platinum and Orie are both 10-Star Kawaii. Kanji has 2 stars in Luck, because of his Butt-Monkey status he shares with Yosuke.
- The way the dub was confirmed. It needs to be seen to be believed. note
- Aigis' partner in the trailer revealing her is Tager, referencing this.
- Just this from the Arc System Works' U.S. Twitter account in regards to Carmine being announced...
- Combining funny with a morbid kind of Fridge Horror, in the game modes trailer, Ruby can be seen cheerfully thanking Hazama for giving her a keystone. Oh, sweet summer child, if only you knew.
- Similar to Dragon Ball FighterZ, this game has an online lobby with chibi models of all of the characters. The actions they can perform are... unique.◊
- A subtle moment, but in the graphs detailing a character's stats and their good partners; Ruby has been noted to be a good partner for both Aegis and Vatista. Ruby really loves her robots, huh?
- In another subtle nod, this time towards Hyde's Chick Magnet status, he's listed as a good partner for both Orie and Vatista. In more ways than one.
- Similarly, one of Naoto's recommended partners is Kanji in which the latter ended up having a crush on Naoto making Arc System Works look like a Shipper on Deck.
- In Merkava's segment during the English Dub of the EVO 2018 Character Update Trailer, he screeches out loud which the subtitles literally translates as [unintelligible].
- During her character introduction, Celica says to "Leave the pathfinding to me!" Anyone who even remotely knows her will realize this is a bad idea.
Story Mode
Episode BlazBlue
- Ragna and Gordeau are ambushed by Ruby and Blake. Blake of course demands the Keystone, but Ruby is more interested in seeing what their weapons can do.
- Hakumen arrives after Ragna meets Chie. Hakumen, naturally, wants to kill Ragna just for existing. Chie wonders if Hakumen is a Persona.Ragna: The hell's a Persona? This guy's called Hakumen, and he's an asshole who never learned how to listen!
- Ragna is forced to participate in a "manly" competition between Kanji, Waldstein, and Azrael that he wanted no part in. This doesn't stop there once he wins and the moment Kanji and Azrael were teleported out:Ragna: Tch... At the end of the day, you pull all the strings... I don't like it.
Announcer: Oh? Have you not had enough? In that case...
Azrael: (suddenly reappears) I'll never let you escape, Grim Reaper!
Ragna: Huh? Hey, don't bring him back here!!
Announcer: As requested, the Manly Match, round 2! Let's get it on!
Ragna: Agh, how about no... I'm getting outta here! - Vatista and Aegis attempt to grab the Keystone from Ragna only for Ragna to state that only tag battles are allowed. Then, Nu-13 shows up.Nu-13: (suddenly appears) Raaaaagggnnnaaaa!
Ragna: ... Oh god.- Really, Patrick Seitz's delivery of the above in the most hilarious "I'm so done with this shit" voice is what really sells this scene. On the flipside, Tomokazu Sugita makes a noise that sounds like Ragna's half choking, half dying.
- Nu then asks Ragna why he was with the Robot Girl pair when she found him. The best answer has to be when he says he was looking for Nu. At which point she goes on a lovestruck speech before deciding to try to kill Aegis and Vatista for "Bullying" her Ragna. Vatista even lampshades it.
- Beforehand, Aegis and Vatista try attacking Ragna despite the tag battle rules. The System helps Aegis and Vatista get away from being punished by interpreting those attacks as warning shots. Ragna hilariously shouts at the top of his lungs that they are lying, to no avail.Aegis: If you do not stop, holder of the keystone...
Ragna: If I don't stop, what? You tryin' to threaten me? Here's a tip, it works better if you've got a weap— *BOOM!*
Aegis: I will fire upon you.
Ragna: Say that BEFORE you shoot me!
Aegis: ...I have fired upon you.
Ragna: Obviously! - His reaction to Vatista claiming it was a warning shot is equally funny.
- Weiss and Orie end up attacking Ragna and perceiving him as a threat as a result of them finding Ragna's badly-drawn wanted poster which is still as funny as ever.Ragna: Agh seriously!? That stupid poster followed me to this world, too?
- For this fight, Ragna's tag partner is none other than Hazama. And he definitely doesn't miss a chance to do what he does best.Hazama: More importantly, Raggy... that was quite the tongue lashing you were getting back there. "Despicable," "evil looking," "sister complex"...
Ragna: You made that last one up!
- For this fight, Ragna's tag partner is none other than Hazama. And he definitely doesn't miss a chance to do what he does best.
- Ending 2 of Episode BlazBlue has Es recovering the four other keystones for Rachel to help seal System once again. When Ragna is chewing Rachel out for accidentally breaking the seal, Es is basking in Rachel's end of the bargain; a mountain of pudding.Es: These are the fruits of my labor.
Ragna: So in other words, you bought her. ...with pudding. - And then there's the actual image itself. Ragna is wagging his finger and shouting at Rachel, who is sheepishly looking away while hiding her mouth with Gii, while Es watches in the background with a mountain of pudding behind her. It looks less like an argument between two allies and more like a parent scolding their child.
Episode P4A
- Yosuke tries his hardest to play the Only Sane Man in the group, causing him to get frustrated over the sheer insanity the group has to experience and how seemingly accepting the group is towards it.
- Even despite transferring to another school, Yu still wears his Yasogami High uniform. Yosuke can only stand confused at how his friend would just casually wear it around.
- Chie doesn't know about Makoto's species, so she mistakes her tail as her just cosplaying. Yosuke is quick to point out how obviously real her tail and appearance looked.
- With all four series having different lore and terms, it was only a matter of time that the characters were to experience some level of Culture Clash, as seen between Rachel and the Investigation team:Rachel: While I imagine a more thorough explanation will be lost on you, I will attempt to convey the basics. This is a space created by the Overseer to achieve a single purpose. A space that uses Seithr to read through the observation subjects' memories and project them into being... Was that a simple enough explanation?
Chie: Er...
Yukiko: Ummm...?
Yosuke: Uhhh...
Yu: So this isn't the world inside the TV we're familiar with.
Rachel: World inside the...? What utter nonsense. Could you try to use words that humans can comprehend?
Chie: Y-you're one to talk! - The entire scene where Kanji really wants to pet Jubei much to both Jubei and Platinum's dismay.
- Luna (one of Platinum's personalities) yells at the Investigation Team to call Jubei by name instead of calling him a cat, calling them jackasses. This coming from the girl who insults people on a regular basis. Then, after Yukiko introduces herself, we get this gem:Platinum: Hmph. Luna doesn't need to reveal her name to any old strangers... Wait, I... (irritated) just said it.
- And right after that, Yosuke introduces himself. How does Luna respond? By telling him to shut up and to stay back, along with calling him a pedo.Yosuke: Pedo...!?
Yukiko: (as she and Chie move away from him) Hanamura-kun... you really are the worst.
Yosuke: Wha, no, that's not— Why are you moving away from me? Et tu, Satonaka? - What's worst is that Luna soon calls the entire Investigation Team a pack of pedos. Chie's more concerned that she and Yukiko are part of it.
- And right after that, Yosuke introduces himself. How does Luna respond? By telling him to shut up and to stay back, along with calling him a pedo.
- The ending. Full stop. It's so ridiculous that it could easily be mistaken for a Gag Reel, but no, it's very real. Yu and the others defeat the boss, but in the process, they ruin everything, and Rachel bids them farewell as they are transported to a new world. They land back where they started, except now it's springtime, and there's word going around about a bunch of new transfer students. They all head to their classroom and find out that the students are... Ragna, Noel, Hyde, and Ruby. And ALL of them act as though they've been a part of their world since before they could remember. Not to mention Ragna, and Noel are both adults with Noel has been out of school for over a year and Ragna is in his 20s though by his appearance it looks like he's been de-aged to his age when he was training under Jubei, while Ruby is in high school age, she was propelled two years ahead to attend Beacon, essentially a prestigious university. Funnier still, Ruby's still wearing her hood, Hyde's variation of the Yasogami High uniform has unnecessary belt buckles over it, and Ragna is wearing a Dead Spike t-shirt under the uniform. Here's an image◊ of the scene which appeared in a Famitsu scan.
- This is also the reason why Chie said that line in the Persona 4 characters highlight trailer:Chie: What's Ragna-san even doing at our high school? He's wearing the uniform and everything!
- This is also the reason why Chie said that line in the Persona 4 characters highlight trailer:
Episode UNIB
- All of Hyde's dialogue interactions throughout the story could be considered this, really. He goes full Deadpan Snarker every chance he gets.
- Hyde runs into Ruby early in the route, and, naturally, she has a million questions about Hyde's Insulator, such as what it's made of, how did he summon it and whether it transforms. Hyde gets quickly annoyed before realizing he actually has no idea how the sword actually works nor what happens to it when he summons and de-summons it. He doesn't even know for sure if it can transform or not.Hyde: And where does it come from? My hand? Wait, does it come from my hand? Then... where does it go? GAH! Dangit! You're starting to infect my brain!
- Shortly after this, the announcer tells the groups to start fighting. Both Hyde and Ruby have their objections. Then the announcer tells Ruby that the 2 in front of them have some pretty interesting weapons, at which point Ruby immediately pulls a 180 and calls for a battle.
- After the battle, Hyde gets ambushed by Blake and Makoto but both of them fail. However as soon he draws out his sword, it leads to some confusion over Makoto being called a Faunus. After that, Makoto tries to befriend Blake and they forget about Hyde. Instead of running away, Hyde interrupts them in a Deadpan Snarker manner if they wanted to fight him or not.
- Noel, Yukiko, and Platinum ended up attempting to cook curry. With two Lethal Chefs in the kitchen, you can imagine what the result was. So much so that Yukiko, the creator of Mystery Food X, wanted no part in eating itnote and runs off while both Noel and Platinum (who wants Yukiko to eat it instead) gives her a chase.
- Upon bumping into the hungry Hyde, Noel offers some of it to him. He was shocked that the "curry" was pixelated...Hyde: I-Is this curry?
Noel: Hm? Yeah, just regular curry.
Hyde: Why does it look... metallic?
Noel: Oh, well that's interesting. Maybe it's because we used ingredients from this world. Oh, but don't worry about the flavor. It's real curry, through and through, I guarantee it!
Hyde: (H-Hell no, it's not! This is DEFINITELY not curry... There's no way. The pressure coursing out of this dish... It's as if the Hollow Night was simmered in a pot and served up on a plate... Screw the flavor guarantee, I just want to know if I'll survive.) - In fact, the audience would have expected this will happen concerning food, Yukiko and Noel.
- Made ever so slightly funnier when one considers that Hyde is a rather talented cook.
- Due to neither of them wanting to eat Noel's curry, the Announcer intervenes and decides to force them, per Hyde's wishes on getting out of this mess, into a tag battle between Hyde/Yukiko and Platinum/Noel. Losers will be forced to eat the curry, and the Announcer even goes so far as to make a rule that anyone who complains has to take a spoonful of the curry as a penalty. Bonus points if you really wanted to see Platinum eat that curry. Hyde even has this to say after the battle:Hyde: Sheesh. I figured I'd have to fight over the Keystone, but curry? Not in a million years...
- Upon bumping into the hungry Hyde, Noel offers some of it to him. He was shocked that the "curry" was pixelated...
Episode RWBY
- Ruby runs into Hyde and Carmine and ends up with Hazama as a tag partner. Hazama then proceeds to compare Carmine to Terumi, an idea that the audience is probably thinking at that point.
- The sheer concept of Hot-Blooded Nice Guy Hyde and the Ax-Crazy Blood Knight Carmine having to work together is pretty funny in itself. Both clearly have problems with the concept of it.System: Wait, whoah, wait, please wait! Uh, friends from the same world shouldn't fight! Heh...
Hyde/Carmine: We're not friends!!- Another thing to note about when the two of them contradict System is the inflections of their voices. Hyde sounds more annoyed about being lumped in with a guy that constantly tries to beat him up just for existing, Carmine, on the other hand, sounds flat out offended.
- The sheer concept of Hot-Blooded Nice Guy Hyde and the Ax-Crazy Blood Knight Carmine having to work together is pretty funny in itself. Both clearly have problems with the concept of it.
- Ruby runs into Tager and Hakumen. As Tager tries to diffuse the situation, he suddenly notices that Hakumen has started doing his usual "I am the White Void" speech. Then Waldstein enters and attacks Hakumen mid-speech. Hakumen then offhandedly mentions that they "have no time for (Waldstein's) incessant rambling", when he himself was engaging in "incessant rambling" only moments ago.
- After the fight, Ruby steals the keystone in Hakumen's possession while Hakumen and Waldstein are distracted in an argument with each other. Only Tager sees what she's doing.
- Right before the battle could start, Ruby started fangirling over Yosuke and Yukiko, mistaking them for a ninja and geisha duo.Yukiko: ...I'm not even a geisha...
- Ragna, being well, Ragna, has some trouble asking Ruby to be his tag-partner.Ragna: Hey, brat.
Ruby: Brat? Are you...talking to me?
Ragna: Yeah, you. You see any other brats around here? Anyway—
Ruby: I am not a brat! Take it back! Take it back!!
Ragna: Right... You've convinced me... - Ragna, meeting Yang for the first time and mirroring a sentiment that comes out of a lot of first time RWBY viewers:Ragna: Wait, are you two really sisters?
- Which is especially ironic given Ragna's relationship with his own siblings. Even funnier is that he spends most of the sentence before this grumbling about he's injured and finds being backed up embarrassing, only for him to quickly wonder out loud if Ruby and Yang are supposed to be sisters.
- While Vatista was interacting with Ruby, Rachel, and Platinum, she puts her odd mindset on full display when she hears the word "cool" and thinks of refrigerators, before telling Ruby that she's in need of refrigeration (read: calming down.) Later, when the announcer shows up to set up the tag battle, she brings up their small bodies, making Vatista consider switching her current body to a "beefy, macho, muscle-type" one.
- The ending has RWBY transported back to their dorm plus the red Keystone and the System in a weakened form. They eventually decide on keeping the thing as a pet.System: I don't mind that! Um... Woof! Woof!
Yang: I'm sorry but, we already have a dog.
System: Y-you do!? O-okay then! Meow!
Blake: I take offense to that.
Episode Extra
- The entire episode might as well count as this. With the exception of a few, practically every chapter is a gag reel on its own.
- Billy Kametz's delivery as Naoto captures a level of sheer exasperation that has to be seen to be believed. Even from the very moment of his initial reaction to collecting the stamps, he is completely and utterly done with this entire premise.Naoto Kurogane: Okay, yeah, screw it. This is bullshit.
- Yuzuriha's appearance gives Terumi a run for his money in trolling. She basically ropes Naoto into helping her, before cutting right through the maze (which technically isn't against the rules). Then they come across Blake and Yang, who they have to fight for the stamps. Eventually, Yuzu pulls a Look Behind You saying there's a pile of stamps. In that one moment where everyone else is distracted, she grabs a stamp for herself and Naoto, leaving Blake and Yang empty-handed. Then she just leaves, leaving poor Naoto at the mercy of two miffed members of Team RWBY.
- During the three-legged race Jin and Weiss rocket ahead of Yumi and Teddie on a slab of ice. They think they have the race in the bag... until Teddie catches up to them by running on Kintoki-Douji like a ball with Yumi riding on his head, while dressed like a clown. Jin and Weiss' reactions sell it.Weiss: This is just getting stupid now.
Jin: Tch... What kind of circus is this? - And after the end of said race, System assures Yumi that Teddie (exhausted after the race) will be okay as she will take care of him. Of course, "take care of him" as in "unceremoniously dumping him in a deserted beach".Teddie: (Snoring and sleep talking) Yumi...chan... I worked so hard... Think I've earned a little kiss...? Actually... if you're free later ... Do you want to go take some tea? (wakes up) Huh!? ...? ...!? Wh-Wh-Wh-Wh-Wh... Wh... WHERE AM I NOOOOWW!?
- For extra hilarity, the possibility that the deserted beach Teddie ends up in might be Brotherly Paradise.
- Every appearance of Azrael, starting here. He breaks pretty much all of System's challenges (along with Waldstein, but only in this chapter) just because he would rather fight people than wait for them to complete challenges.
- In a Call-Back to the moment in Episode UNIB with Yukiko and Noel, Chie and Yukiko get into a cooking competition versus Noel and Makoto, with Linne, Es and Mai judging and Yu and Yosuke standing around as audience. While Chie and Yukiko manage to cook something decent for a change (something that flabbergasts Yosuke), Noel and Makoto end up with the win because Mai is the only judge to not pass out from eating their pudding. By the way, Noel's "pudding" is censored exactly the same way as the curry was!Yu: ......
Yosuke: Is it just me, or does that look a little, uh...
Yu: They've definitely taken some poetic license with the definition of pudding.
Yosuke: Can we get that license revoked somehow? It's like something out of a nightmare. It was looking almost edible a minute ago, too. What happened!? And how can it be black and weirdly rainbowy at the same time?
Yu: ...The same way the puddles at a gas station can.
Yosuke: This is 100% not good! - Upon tasting Chie and Yukiko's pudding, Es instantly apologizes and surmises that this "pudding" must be her punishment for having forsaken her job as a gatekeeper in favor of pursuing her personal desire for pudding.
- Yosuke and Yu's reactions to Mai declaring Noel's "food" delicious can induce laugh-comas, too!Yosuke: EXCUSE ME!?
Yu: Is she joking!? - And let's not forget Yosuke's breakdown when Mai declares Noel and Makoto the winners.Yosuke: Stooop! There's no way I can accept this! I can't believe I'm saying this, but Chie's pudding was way closer to being actual food! I mean look at this... thing. Food doesn't shine like that! Two people are on the ground unconscious!
System: Well, if you're really that torn up about the injustice of all this, are YOU volunteering to step in as a judge? You'd have to try both puddings.
Yosuke: *Violent head shaking noises* - The icing on the pudding here is that when the girls agree to cook together again on the same team, Yu and Yosuke's reactions are appropriate.Yu: *shivers in fright* ....
Yosuke: ...When we die, we die together, partner.
Yu: ...Yeah.
- Azrael, upon meeting Blitztank, has perhaps the best line in the entire Extra Episode:Azrael: Tonight, I dine on TANK!
- Naoto freaks out upon meeting Tager. He then gushes for a moment upon realizing that Tager is a real cyborg before apologizing. Then when Tager explains that the device needed for the Stamp challenge has been broken:Tager: As I was saying, the issue is that the environmental simulator has been damaged. Without that, there's no test to carry out.
Naoto Kurogane: So, what, it just broke?
Tager: No. Given the extent of the damage, it seems that there was some sort of sabotage.
Naoto Kurogane: You mean someone broke it on purpose? Who in their right mind would—
Azrael: (coming out of nowhere) IT WAS MEEEEEE!!!
Naoto Kurogane: RUN AWAYYYYYYY!!! - System, who has grown tired of Azrael breaking all of her traps, stops Naoto from leaving. By making a wall he runs into, complete with a *BONK*! System's exasperated voice during this just sells it!System: (Once a contestant reaches a checkpoint, they must see the challenge through to its completion. Skipping or forfeiting the challenge is not allowed. In the event of an irreparable error such as this, we will have no choice but to change the checkpoint to a battle format.) I give up. If the only way to stop that lunkhead macho man from breaking everything is to let him snack on Naoto, then so be it!
Naoto Kurogane: I, uh, think you said the loud part quiet and the quiet part loud. - System is SO DONE with Azrael that she's willing to give Naoto double stamps just to do something about Azrael! Considering he smashed every trap he could find just so there won't be any distractions when they fight, it's hard not to argue with her.System: Oh, god... Just please knock him out or something...
- This chapter is just full of hilarious moments at the expense of poor Naoto and Yumi.
- System mentioning mixed-bathing causes Naoto to get flustered. When he says there's no way in hell that he'd get in a bath with a girl, the steam fades to reveal... Yumi. Naoto backtracks his sentence, and if it wasn't for Yumi being a Nice Girl, she'd probably have slapped him.Naoto Kurogane: N-No! I didn't mean that... like it sounded. I mean, I'd happily bathe with y-- No, I mean...
- After Naoto finds out Jubei and Nine are married...Naoto Kurogane: I mean, a cat wearing clothes, I could accept, but the fact that HE's married to HER?! Oh man, does that mean— Gah! Gotta get that image outta my head...
- When the second rally of the ping pong match starts, the ball explodes in Naoto's face, courtesy of Nine.
- Eventually, the match carries on to 998 points. Yes, they played for that long.
- And how do Nine and Jubei lose? Because Jubei makes a romantic comment to Nine, causing her to just start smothering him. Naoto and Yumi get their last stamps, but not the way the expected.Yumi: I can't quite put it into words, but this victory feels oddly hollow.
- Really, Nine during the entire chapter. With how much she dotes on Jubei, it's a mixture of both heartwarming and hilarious. It's so unbelievably different from how she was in Central Fiction.
- Eventually, after everything is said and done, Naoto and Yumi use the bath to try and forget everything that happened.
- System mentioning mixed-bathing causes Naoto to get flustered. When he says there's no way in hell that he'd get in a bath with a girl, the steam fades to reveal... Yumi. Naoto backtracks his sentence, and if it wasn't for Yumi being a Nice Girl, she'd probably have slapped him.
- Minerva, Labrys, and Aegis all have to win over Yosuke to complete a challenge, and it's about as chaotic as it sounds:
- The first round requires they make a drink for him. Labrys makes a drink that looks good but is actually disgustingly awful and Aegis makes a drink that looks disgusting and was apparently supposed to explode. Minerva, thanks to Celica's influence, is the only one that makes a drink he likes, as she just makes normal tea.
- In the second round, they have to make Yosuke's heart skip. Labrys and Aegis both take it literally and bust out their full arsenals to direct at Yosuke, which does make his heart skip, but not in a good way. Minerva ends up winning after she pats him on the head.
- Both Labrys and Aegis want to learn from Minerva, and they end up continuing for 20 rounds, and Yosuke is begging for them to stop by the end. Minerva unsurprisingly wins the challenge, and when they're done, System just sends Yosuke back to his friends with a nonchalant attitude.
Gameplay
- Vatista, as always, is a fountain for these. Observe how many times she's mentioned on this page in spite of her minor role.
- Due to the way Tager's sprite lines up in Ruby's Astral, it looks like he is the victim of a Groin Attack. It didn't take long for players to make note of it.Acme Arsenal: That was the worst circumcision I've ever seen in my entire life.
- Rachel's defeat quote in battle isn't her yelling in pain (which is the standard of fighting games) or saying something about how she was careless. Instead, she'd rather blame her loss on her subordinates Gii and Nago. Bonus points for her passive delivery of the following line, as if she isn't hurt at all and is just very annoyed at Gii and Nago's supposed screw-ups:Rachel: Gii, Nago, you're being punished later.
- One of Chie's quotes if she actives a Distortion Skill of hers has her state "I'm taking you down." Then, right after she states the line, the person Chie is facing off against could kill her if Chie does not have much health left causing that line to unintentionally funny.
- Many of the pre-battle, victory and post-battle quotes are this.
- One of Ruby's win quotes states this gem.Ruby: "Uh, hi? Are you okay?"
- Team up Hazama with Susano'o and behold Hazama's nigh suicidal compulsion to troll absolutely everyone; doesn't matter if they're the resident Destroyer Deity and Satanic Archetype in the flesh:Yuki Terumi: Here's a li'l treat for you, Hazzy! *transforms*
Susano'o: You will bear witness to my legend!
Hazama: Yes, yes, it's all VERY exciting.- Their post-battle quote is arguably even better. Hazama just plain doesn't give a crap about Susano'o's posturing and clearly got bored of hearing it while Terumi was still using him as a host.Susano'o: Repent and worship! For you have borne witness to God's true power!
Hazama: Uh huh, fantastic, great job. Get that out of your system yet?
- Their post-battle quote is arguably even better. Hazama just plain doesn't give a crap about Susano'o's posturing and clearly got bored of hearing it while Terumi was still using him as a host.
- One of Ruby's win quotes states this gem.
- Using Gauntlet Hades, Ragna's 214B move in-game, sometimes has him calling his attack for the first hit, and saying "dumbass" for the follow-up. Do it in quick succession, and you get "Gauntlet Dumbass".
- Some gameplay glitches have some funny moments.
- Before it was patched, a gameplay combo with Kanji and Blake lead to a glitch which leaves the opponent in an... interesting position.
- Apparently, Naoto has an additional power to her Persona that turns people invisible.
- Through this glitch, the opponent may get stuck in a pose for the rest of the match including through Astral Finishes.
- Before it was patched, a gameplay combo with Kanji and Blake
- Vatista's English battle shouts are hilariously adorable.Vatista 2B attack: "Spinny spin spin!"
Arma Bellum: "Ba-ba-ba-ba!"
During Clash Assault: "Pow! Pow! Pow!" - If an opponent jumps over Azrael or otherwise dashes to the other side of him in some way, he'll say "You're a quick one." as he turns around to face them. He can say this to Tager and Waldstein.
- Ever wanted to see a dance line of up to eight Ruby Roses? LucianTheLugia has you covered.
- Even better. There's five dancing Es-es, which AcmeArsenal covered before ending his livestream even to the point where he and some of the players dance together in sync?
- Even better. There's five dancing Es-es, which AcmeArsenal covered before ending his livestream
- Merkava's lobby avatar is Nightmare Retardant incarnate. His chibi is proportioned in such a way that makes him resemble either a stuffed animal or a person in a mascot costume. That and his blank eyes are given expressions for certain animations, making the once terrifying Basilisk downright adorable.
- And now with 2.0, Susanoo's gotten the same treatment, complete with tail wagging.
- Finishing a match using Mika's "Mika-chan Revolution" Distortion Skill will sometimes result in her head and arms still remaining stuck on the ground up until the victory screen, with her screaming that she's stuck.
- Based on his assist call towards Vatista, big words still confuse Waldstein."Auto...Something."
- Just Blitztank being in the game. Somehow, in a crossover with so many crazy worlds, a tank being a playable character is hilarious.
- The fact that Blitztank is susceptible to throws. Even the smallest characters in the game can toss him around like a rag doll. Then there's this.

- Every single Astral Heat on Blitztank. Enjoy.
- The "Jukebox" option in the main menu is Pakumen with sunglasses, a "Z" golden necklace and a boombox.

- YouTube user JROKGaming uploaded a sneak preview (here) of the first five minutes of Story Mode... and promptly lost to the tutorial boss. (Though this actually wasn't JROK himself that lost, but an ASW USA staff member.)
- With the lack of a proper Training Mode in the pre-order beta, players have resorted to an alternative solution: Set VS. Mode to infinite time, have Yukiko as the opponent and continuously use her Dia skill that regenerates all of her health thus turning the Amagi heiress into everyone's punching bag for the time being.
- Somebody made a tier list that is about what the characters will order at Arby's. It needs to be seen to be believed. Also, when somebody asks the person who made this tier list on where Naoto Shirogane will be put on note , they replied with this.Reads the nutrition facts before entering, spends 10 minutes looking at the menu, quietly and politely asks the manager something before leaving without ordering
- Ben Diskin not only confirmed he was the English voice of Merkava but has taken to calling him "Lord Noodle Doodle."
- Just the fact this game averts the One-Steve Limit trope by having both Naoto Shirogane and Naoto Kurogane in the roster. If anything, the brief shot of both of them in a Clash Assault from the latter's reveal sort of seals the deal, doesn't it?

- As a celebration of BBTAG's official release. ArcSys revived BBRadio, as BBRadio (BuruRaji) NEO. Tomokazu Sugita, Kanako Kondou, and Asami Imai return as the hosts and Imai has some... interesting things to say about the game, particularly the fact that her character isn't in it. note Through Asami's pleading Mori to announce Tsubaki during the episode, he remarks that it feels like he's suddenly listening to the very first episode of BBRadio way back when Continuum Shift wasn't a thing and Tsubaki was just a prominent story NPC.
- So a few things have changed about the presentation, they are using the 3D avatars. So they can walk around, spin and make exaggerated faces... or at least more exaggerated than they could before.
- Mori joins the gang and sounds... beat. So much so that Sugita has to demand the man sound more lively.
- Imai got influenced by Sugita way too much that she ended up calling Kondo as "Kondom". Kondo calls her out on it especially since it's clear it wasn't in the script while Sugita is proud that his influence is taking over.
