Project X Zone

Devilotte of Cyberbots attacks by sending mecha to attack the foe, but her final hit has her trying to use Jin Saotome (the protagonist of Cyberbots)'s signature attack from Marvel vs. Capcom, the Blodia Punch, only to have the fist hit her too and send her flying, complete with clothing damage.
- The Close-up cut-in on her just in time to see the look on her face when she realizes she's about to get hit.
- Even funnier when she shows up in the game intro, only to be hit by Blodia's fist there as well.
After Hsien-Ko performs Tenraiha in her part of the MAP Attack with Frank, a wash basin knocks him out at the end, much like how it knocked out Bruce in Namco × Capcom in the Multiple Assault involving her, him, Regina, and Fong Ling.
Zephyr and Leanne's Special Attack ends with them falling down the side of a clock tower, gazing at each other with caring looks. While the two are lost in their gazes, they simultaneously toss a bomb each and cause the enemy to explode. All without even looking!
Ichiro and Sakura's MAP attack involves them professing their love to one another while a cloud of sakura petals swirls around them as they draw closer before finally embracing. Their targets get annihilated by the petals!
Gemini making the Phantom leave in disgust after making one of her horribly bad puns.
Frank West takes a picture of Kaguya Nanbu. Perfect Erotica◊ indeed.
- Worth noting, usually Frank will only take one picture of a character, with Kaguya he takes no less than five. And he just snaps the photos without even bothering to ask permission.
  - Specifically, her introduction of herself and Haken to the party at large goes through all her dialogue poses. Frank takes a picture of every single one.
  - Capped off with a thumbs-up. Nice bit of icing on that cake.
Xiaomu: You could at least ask for permission you weirdo.
Alisa: And wipe that smirk off your face.
- We'll note the irony of Xiaomu complaining about asking permission.
- In the chapter that Kurt and Riela join, Riela assumes her Valkyria form at the request of the others. No one is shocked, only impressed; in fact, Frank takes a picture that says Perfect Drama.
- Heck, any time Frank shoots that camera of his.
  - And then Alisa threatens to break his camera when he's about to take pictures of the women in their swimsuits at the Breather Episode.
Reiji and Xiaomu's MAP Attack is Xiaomu cosplaying as an Anime Chinese Girl, a Bunny Girl, a schoolgirl, a girl with no pants, and ends it with a wedding dress just like how she did it in EXCEED.
Any time Vashyron busts out his infamous dance will garner a chuckle or two.
- As well as his reactions every time he runs into a scantily-clad or well-endowed woman.
  - Example 1, when Due summons Saya in Chapter 24:
    Zephyr: So "demon beast"' meant that fox girl from Ouma.
    Vashyron: Of course! Such sumptuous grapes could only spring from demon soil!
  - Example 2, the Breather Episode portion between chapters 33 and 34 when the pool comes up:
    Vashryon: *dancing pose* Oh, man, all these ripe grapes! And a few raisins, too, but...
- The numerous Double Entendre jokes he makes about Alisa's outfit when he first meets her are pretty funny on their own, but even funnier when the jokes pass right over Alisa and Soma's heads.
  - The very first one is actually a Call-Back to his own game, where he uses the same line on his own party member. ("Wait. Do you want me on offense of backup?" "So Alisa^noteLeanne in Resonance goes both ways, huh? Good to know.") He's clearly delighted that he got away without retribution this time.
  - When he calls Soma "grumpylumps", because it totally fits him.
When Ulala meets Devilotte, she begins recounting facts about the girl for her show's audience, including the gag that her father only trusted her with 300 yen to spend on candy in Cyberbots. Devilotte does NOT take it well.
- Earlier, Devilotte introduces Ulala with, "In my world, she's a member of the...MEDIA!"
  - Hell, the implication that Cyberbots and Space Channel 5 share a universe is amusing on its own.
- In the same stage, Leanne encounters her statue again, and Ulala mentions twice how creepy she finds it, which again, doesn't go down well with Leanne.
  - Batsu's line is also priceless after seeing her legs aren't straight: "Is she constipated?"
  Leanne: Can we talk about literally anything else?
  - There's also Zephyr's reaction to the Morolians blocking the end of the tracks in the way of the statue, which can summed as not this again.
Anytime Kurt brings up the topic of cooking while in the middle of a battle. Also funny when Ulala tries to interview him regarding his recipes and Riela's practically begging Ulala NOT TO ask him in a pre-battle conversation.
In Stage 26, after defeating Nemesis it mutters "S.T.A.R.S.", prompting Chris and Jill to mention they're working for the BSAA now. And then...
Nemesis: B......S......AA......!
The entire exchange highlighting Acting for Two with Stehoney (and its different variations), Haken, Batsu and Demitri especially when Demitri was about to say the goblin's Verbal Tic till he corrects himself. The look on Black Rose and Kite's face is just hilarious. See it all here (Starts at 4:09)
Any time Arthur is in his boxers.
Some of the battle dialogues when characters talk before and after attacking, such as:
- Morrigan trying to rile up Batsu...
Morrigan: Being young is wonderful, so full of strength, right Batsu?
Batsu: Wh-What's with you!? Help me out here, Chun-Li!
Chun-Li: Morrigan, he's still in high school.
- Switch him out with Bahn, and...
Morrigan: How does it feel to be surrounded by so many beautiful women, Bahn?
Bahn: It's awesome! Buff and fit women like you would make great Vipers!
Chun-Li: I don't think women like being called buff.
- And;
Devilotte: Fight well and I may even rebuild you two as a patchwork creation monster!
Gemini: Oh my god!! But wait, what's a patchwork creation monster?
Erica: We'd probably be called Gerica Fonrise.
- Also
Neneko: You're both so big, you know! Neneko is super jealous, really!
Morrigan: You'll be fine once you grow up, but maybe there are a few things you can start working on now...
Chun-Li: Morrigan, don't go teaching strange things to children.
- Continuing on
Juri: *Evil Laugh*
Zero: X, are you sure we should classify her as a Maverick?
X: No, don't do it, Zero!
- Ulala with Ryu and Ken:
Ulala: Now we have an interview with Ken Masters. (points the mic at Ryu)
Ryu: Uh no, I'm not Ken. It's this guy right here.
Ken: How did I get mistaken with this guy!?
- Pair up Sanger with Kogoro and Mii and this happens:
Kogoro: Let's see what the three of us can do with our strange weapons.
Mii: How rude! Right, Zongar Sanvolt?
Sanger: My name is Sanger Zonvolt. Get it right.
- And then you pair the former two with Saya:
Saya: If you're a ninja, then of course you can do "THAT", right?
Kogoro: Oh, you mean THAT? Yeah, of course I can.
Mii: Hey Kogoro, what's THAT? C'mon, tell me!
- Batsu's friends should reconsider learning from Ken's example:
Batsu: Some of my friends learned moves from you.
Ken: (happy portrait) Oh, you mean my online karate courses?
Ryu: (serious portrait) Ken, I hope you haven't forgotten that our style was originally meant for assassination.
- Bonus hilarity results if you're familiar with the cast of Rival Schools, since one of the friends Batsu is referring to is Sakura Kasugano, making Ryu just as guilty as Ken here.
- Alisa with Soma and Alisa:
Alisa (Tekken): How exactly will you differentiate me with Alisa?
Soma: Simple really. One can take off her head while the other can't.
Alisa (Gods Eater Burst): You know there's a better way to differentiate us other than that logic, right?
- Bruno with Haken and Kaguya gives us this gem:
Haken: Okay, Dynamite Cop. Shall we?
Bruno: I hear ya loud and clear, cowboy. How about you, cowgirl?
Kaguya: Yes, yes, dairy references, very original.
- Serious Business at it's finest
Kurt They're getting closer! I've got to stay calm!
Neneko It's candy, it is! Neneko wants some candy too, you know!
Riela Hurry Kurt, before Neneko loses her cool!
- Reiji and Xiaomu with Alisa...
Xiaomu: C'mon Alisa, show us your angelic power.
Alisa: Roger, commencing Destroy Form mode.
Reiji: Isn't it ironic for an angel to have a destroy form?
- Frank and Lei-Lei/Hsien-Ko with Alisa gives us:
Lei-Lei/Hsien-Ko: Alisa, let's have a picture together. Here, cheese.
Alisa: (while holding her head) Roger, cheese.
Frank: Alisa, please do this properly. I don't want this turning into a haunted photo.
- The Resonance of Fate trio finish a battle together...
Zephyr: "Leanne? Is that a smile I see?"
Leanne: "What? I was smiling?"
Vashyron: "Aww, our little Leanne has a sadistic side..."
- Haken and Kaguya with Rikiya refreshes us why Haken's still the Lovable Sex Maniac:
Rikiya: Ugh, this aura...!
Kaguya: Where is it!? You mean this monster is strong!?
Haken: Well, the princess' body is pretty dangerous too ya know?
- Just from the EU demo and we already have one from Ryu and Ken with Devilotte:
Devilotte: Fight well enough and I might even consider remaking you two into one of my patchwork creations!
Ryu: P-Patchwork creations!?
Ken: We'd probably be able to pull off a Metsu Shinryuken.
- Kill an enemy with Gemini and Erica paired with Valkyrie and:
Erica: As expected from a goddess. Well then, I would like to eat pudding.
Valkyrie: Huh? I suppose I could make some...
Gemini: You're pretty domestic for an angel.
- Alternately:
Erica: As expected from a goddess. Well then, I would like to eat pudding.
Valkyrie: Huh? You want to eat pudding with me, Erica?
Gemini: That...that sure is a mundane wish right there.
- Kill an enemy with Kogoro-Mii paired with Lindow and:
Lindow: I could really drink some beer right now.
Mii: Alright, what can I get for you? Wait, why are you even making me do that!?
Kogoro: Why did you even humor him, m'lady?
- At the start of a battle with Kogoro and Mii paired with Arthur:
Arthur (in his underwear): I like to fight my enemies up close and personal!
Mii: K-Kogoro, does he mean that like I think he means it?
Kogoro: Don't get the wrong idea. I think he just forgot to put his armor back on.
- Devilotte with Kaguya and Haken:
Devilotte: Kaguya, I'm willing to turn some of that "excess baggage" into weaponry.
Kaguya: W-what do you mean by "excess baggage"? And weaponry?
Haken: Don't worry Princess, they're explosive enough as it is!
- This pre battle conversation with Frank and Hsien-ko.
Frank: You know just once I'd like to be the one in the spotlight.
Hsien-ko: Hey! It's your job to make others look good.
- Haken, Kaguya and Ulala's pre-fight dialogue gives us:
Haken: Make sure you get good coverage of the princess in action.
Ulala: I'm afraid the censors might not allow me to show that!
Kaguya: What!? This is just how I normally am!
- Pairing Saya with Sakura and Ichiro leads to this. Doubly so when you remember that Saya and Aya-me have the same voice actress.
Saya: Try not to get distracted during the fight, Ichiro.
Ichiro: Y-Yes, I'll try not to, Saya.
Sakura: (in her annoyed portrait) E-Excuse me, Ogami?
- Putting Lindow with KOS-MOS and T-elos will sometimes result in this:
Lindow: Super beautiful and super strong. Who could ask for more?
T-elos: Heh, it'll take more than flattery to win me over!
KOS-MOS: It appears T-elos' combat abilities have increased, Lindow.
- Pairing up Gemini and Erica with Juri may to the following exchange
Gemini: I hope this goes okay...Juri is scaring me..
Erica: Juri is a hopeless, bad, and evil person, but we'll be fine.
Juri: Shut up already! You two are driving me nuts.
- Killing an enemy with Chun-li and Morrigan when paired with Vashyron:
Chun-li: All men of the world must bow down before me.
Vashyron: Oh my queen! My beautiful queen!
Morrigan: It looks like there's at least one man here who is taking you seriously.
- And the pre-fight dialogue with the up above pair with Valkyrie:
Morrigan: We're a team of beautiful women that brings together allure, innocence, and savagery.
Valkyrie: Thank you. Let's all do our best together.
Chun-Li: Hey, would you mind explaining what quality applies to each of us!?
- Saya with Zephyr and Leanne in their pre-fight dialogue:
Leanne: I always feel stronger with my makeup done properly!
Saya: Me too. My makeup puts me in the mood to be really mean.
Zephyr: Vashyron was right. Women are scary.
- Soma and Alisa with Flynn in their pre-battle dialogue
Flynn:I'll follow your lead. I want you to fight without any distractions.
Alisa:I wish Soma was always this agreeable.
Soma:Hmph, well excuse me.
- Toma and Cyrille when paired with Imca may say this before a battle
Toma: (referring to Imca) If you always have a sour expression like that, you'll end up looking like Cyrille.
Imca: Expressions mean nothing in battle.
Cyrille: (giving Toma a Death Glare) Toma, I want to talk to you after we're done here.
- Talking about Imca, there is this gem when paired with Ryu and Ken :
Ken: A weapon built to fight tanks, eh ? You know, we can handle cars with our fists, too.
Imca: Don't lie, no one can destroy a car bare-handed.
Ryu: Actually, it's pretty common where we're from.
- In Dante, Demitri and Juri's conversation, Dante makes a Continuity Nod to how he first met Lady in Devil May Cry 3: Dante's Awakening.
Juri: A vampire ? Don't ever come close to me with your filthy breath!
Demitri: Such insolence ! Dante, this woman...
Dante: It's better than one who tries to put a bullet in your head when she meets you.
- A possible pre-fight dialogue with Reiji, Xiaomu and Neneko
Neneko: Yay! yay! Time to fight it is!
Xiaomu: Yay! Yay! Time to fight it is!
Reiji: At 765, I think you're a little old to act like her.
- One with Ichiro, Sakura, and Neneko, if you remember that Ogami can date a lot of girls in his game.
Neneko: Are you really devoted to Sakura, huh? It's a mystery, it is.
Ichiro: E-eep!? N-Neneko, it's not nice to tease grown-ups!
Sakura: *in her annoyed expression* I wonder that myself, O-o-ga-mi-san...
- Hilarity with Tron and Ryu and Ken.
Tron: Hey, do you think you guys could teach my Servbots some of your fighting moves?
Ken: Sure! They're free to take the Ken Masters Online Training Course at any time.
Ryu: Our master would not appreciate that, Ken.
- And when they beat an enemy (this doubles as a Crowning Moment of Heartwarming, by the by):
Servbot: Hadoken!! Tatsumaki Senpu Kyaku!!
Ken: Keep it up! You'll be a great fighter in no time!
Ryu: You're going to be a great father, Ken...
- Heihachi looking at Kite and Blackrose's avatars.
Heihachi: False bodies, huh? So are your real bodies any good?
Blackrose: Of course!! I'm a part of the tennis club, and I'm a great swimmer too!
Kite: I-I don't fit that description at all...
- Blackrose isn't that impressed with Flynn.
Blackrose: A sword and shield, huh? That's a pretty generic character build there.
Flynn: What? Character build??
Kite: The real world isn't the same as The World, you know?
- Soldiers shouldn't use guns.
Ryu: For an ex-soldier, you shouldn't rely so much on guns.
Ken: Yeah! You should at least be able to fire a sonic boom from your hands!
Vashyron: What kind of soldier can do that?!
- T-Elos and Juri aren't on good terms.
T-Elos: If you get in my way I'll kill you, little girl.
Juri: Just who the hell do you think you're talking to, you glorified mannequin?!
KOS-MOS: Please do not get your target confused.
- Saya, Demitri and Dante.
Saya: Oh, Demi-Demi, would you mind introducing me to your handsome partner?
Demitri: Are you seriously thinking of trying to seduce a hunter, Vixen?
Dante: I think I'll leave you Japanese Youkai to the experts.
- Nobuyuki Hiyama talking to himself
Haken: Okay, bomber princess. Make sure you keep up.
Batsu: I ready to go. Don't fall behind, princess.
Kaguya: Oh, ah yeah. Don't worry, Batsuken.
- Sanger and the strangely familiar Reiji and Xiaomu.
Xiaomu: Wow! A Complete victory for us!
Reiji: Yep, anyone who steps up gets taken down. Hey, what's the matter, Commander?
Sanger: Hm? No, it's nothing.
- Mega Man X and Zero and Alisa Bosconovitch discuss the difference between Reploids and androids.
Alisa: What makes Reploids and androids different?
X: Maybe that we can't remove our heads? What do you think, Zero?
Zero: No comment.
- Devilotte is still looking for new minions.
Dante: I suppose I should show what I can do around a princess.
Devilotte: I like your attitude! I'll turn you into a hunky demon and a strong, giant onion!
Demitri: Care to repeat that, little girl?
- Vashryon thinks of himself as "older" - Chris disagrees.
Vashyron: I think this old guy will take a break and let you youngsters handle this!
Chris: I'm pretty sure I'm older than you, actually.
Jill: No comment.
- If you look at their games' respective release dates, Chris is right.
- Juri mocking Mii's age.
Juri: Hey, little girl, just stay in the corner and play with your dolls!
Kogoro: You heard the lady. Maybe you should listen to her?
Mii: Hey, nobody tells me to miss out on the action like that!
- Sanger and Demitri aren't exactly team players.
Demitri: So they seek to stand in my way...Dante, I'll let you deal with this.
Sanger: Dante, shoot down all who would stand in our way!
Dante: You both could learn a bit about working with others.
- Comparing two wildly different fighting styles:
Demitri: I like my fights to be elegant and refined.
Bruno: Elegant is the last word anyone would use to describe me.
Dante: Mops, clocks, and pepper? I don't think even I could make that look cool.
- Imca complains about KOS-MOS and T-elos exposing themselves.
Imca: There is no need to expose yourself when using a powerful weapon.
T-elos: That's just how we're made. If you have a problem with it go talk to our creators.
KOS-MOS: It was most likely part of our design concept. (Made funnier in KOS-MOS' case, as its a Running Gag in Xenosaga that the more input Shion has on one of KOS-MOS' frames, the more sex appeal she adds)
- Which could be poking fun at Shion, Allen, and Kevin, be a meta jab at Takahashi and CHOCO or all of the above.
- Akira tries to impart his knowledge across time and space:
Akira: The initial approach is key. That's what the stomp is for! Hmph! HA!
Arthur: (in his underwear) I think I understand! Hmph! HA!
Pai: Arthur! You lost your armor!
- Chun-Li and Lady disagree over attack preferences. Hilarious when you realize she's just talking to herself.
Lady: Chinese martial arts, eh. It'd be easier if you just used a weapon.
Chun-Li: And walk around weighed down by weapons? Why do that when I can just kick the bad guys?
Morrigan: Either way, it's our enemies that I feel bad for in the end.
- Old habits die hard...
Tron Bonne: With all the chaos going on, I can be as bad as I want to be!
Morrigan: Ooo, sounds like fun! Mind if I join in?
Chun-Li: Need I remind you that I'm a detective?
- Bahn can get anyone fired up:
Erica: Hey, Mr. Japanese Tough Guy, you ready?
Bahn: As ready as I'll ever be! Let's waste 'em!
Gemini: It's Let's-waste-'em time!
- Jin criticizes Batsu's uniform, but Xiaoyu shuts him down.
Jin: Batsu, have you considered changing your uniform?
Batsu: Give me a break. You sound like my school's moral committee.
Xaiyu: You don't have much room to talk yourself, Jin.
- Pair up Hsien-Ko/Frank with either Rikiya or Bruno. Improbable Weapon User at its finest.
Frank: Hsien-ko, can you carry my dumbell, chainsaw, and fire extinguisher?
Bruno: You can hang onto my mop, pepper, and clock too.
Hsien-Ko: Hold on, guys! My sleeves can't hold everything!
- With Rikiya:
Frank: Shall we begin? Hsien-Ko, hand me a mannequin and a lawnmower.
Rikiya: I need a drill and guitar case, quickly!
Hsien-ko: H-hold on now, there are limits to even what my sleeves can hold!
- With Rikiya after battle:
Frank: Compared to zombie hoards, special forces, and psychopaths that was nothing.
Rikiya: Yes, compared to undead soldiers and mutants.
Hsien-ko: Just what sort of crazy lives do you two lead?
Pair up Reiji and Xiaomu with Sanger and Xiaomu will try pairing up both Reiji and Sanger but concludes that really would be impossible. If only she knew about Elzam/Ratsel.
Demitri laments being surrounded by devil hunters while Dante looks forward to seeing Arthur in action.
Pairing up Sanger with Chun-Li and Morrigan may elicit a so-so reaction, until you remember how fandom treats Sanger as.
Pair up Zephyr and Leanne with Valkyrie and Zephyr will angst to God. In front of Valkyrie who has no idea why Zephyr is despairing in front of her.
Flynn wants to try out Zero's Z-Saber, which the latter dissuades, while X hopes that the human swordsman doesn't ask about HIS X-Buster.
Pair up Kite and Black Rose with Arthur and finish off an enemy. Kite thinks that it would be interesting to have Clothing Damage implemented in The World after seeing Arthur in his boxers, prompting Black Rose to chew him out.
- They have a similar dialog at the start of combat, where Arthur asks what their virtual bodies are wearing under their armor. Neither of them have a clue.
Call in Dante and Demitri and if you miss Demitri's grab attack for his Midnight Bliss, he just looks like an idiot standing there while Dante's just unloading Ebony and Ivory.
Zephyr's impressed with Lady's arsenal in a pre-battle conversation, who questions them on not having seen other types before. Leanne points out that they only have three types of weapons.
In chapter 5, Soma does not like it when they're called "Gods Eater", probably a Take That! to how their game is called Gods Eater Burst in the US.
- Another side of that joke you have to have played Resonance of Fate to get: Vashyron was the one who set that outburst off, but Basel has a very strong monotheistic religion. He said it just to get a rise.
  - Considering the name change resulted from the desire to avoid offending monotheistic religions in the first place, you could say he was lampshading the Moral Guardians.
This conversation when the half of the group meets up with Jin and Xiaoyu:
Tron: Oof. Who violated his cornflakes this morning?
Jin: ...I don't eat cornflakes.
Later in that chapter, when the rest of the group arrives:
Kaguya: Looks like you gained some more friends over there, though.
Jin: Feh.
Xiaoyu: Hello!
Batsu: Dang. This group's like way bananas.
Flynn: You'll find no disagreement here.
Jill's entry in the database alludes to the infamous "Master of Unlocking" joke.
This gem after Nemesis is defeated in Chapter 20
Jill: Phew. That's one person I'd hoped to never see again.
Chris: That was close. You were almost a--
Jill: Oh, cram it.
In Chapter 28, The Reveal that Riemsianne is responsible for brainwashing the Morolians brings us this;
Ulala: Did you hear that, everyone? The woman controlling the Morolians...is Riemsianne La Vaes, a demon girl from another world! This was Ulala, reporting live from the demon realm! ...Spaaaaace Channel Fiiive!
Reiji: Uh, we're not actually done.
- And then she reveals that she kissed Coco Tapioca, which Squicks out Alisa...while Xiaomu wants in.
Kurt: Isn't that a robot? Can she take over those with a kiss, too?
Xiaomu: Here's a girl who's never lonely on Saturday night.
After KOS-MOS' introduction that reveals she was giving Seth of all people a tour through dimensions, Ken proceeds to say this
Ken: Sure, why not, he's not RIDICULOUSLY OBVIOUSLY EVIL or anything.
- This is also after KOS-MOS's introduction had a huge build-up with her container slowly opening as several characters talked about her capabilities, only to reveal Alisa taking a nap inside.
After Riemsianne is defeated for the final time and leaves, the following exchange takes place.
Toma:...Whew.
Neneko: Toma that was SO cool, really! You're such a nice man, you know! Neneko has a big big crush on you, Cyrille too, really!
Cyrille: Whoa, what?
Toma: Huh? Why her? She didn't do anything.
Cyrille: Hey!
Hsien-ko considers Lord Raptor an Abhorrent Admirer at best, but will ruthlessly exploit his crush on her. Case in point, when he initally refuses to divulge any details on his individual agenda to the party, Hsien-ko just smiles and asks nicely, and he promptly tells her everything.
The gang's first encounter with the dimension-breaking rainbow. Some, like Zephyr and Leanne, are surprised to see that you can actually walk and travel on it; others are excited about what's on the other end of it all.
Eins and Drei arguing against Dokumezu and Dokugozu about which boss is the better woman: Due or Saya. And Dokugozu's comment about Kaguya being his future wife.
The party's reaction to the colossal revolver catapult at the end of Chapter 34. Bahn's response, in particular, is brilliant in its simplicity:
Bahn: Aw, no. Awww, no.
- Sanger's line in response is pretty hilarious.
Sanger: See You in Hell, my friends.
After the party recovers from being shot out of the above mentioned colossal catapult revolver they find themselves split up. Jin takes a moment to "worry" about his grandfather:
Jin: Hopefully Heihachi fell off and got bashed on the wall up there.
- Followed up in the next chapter by Heihachi:
Heihachi: I hope Jin fell out and got bashed up against the wall, personally.
Some battle quotes can be unintentionally funny when paired together:
Saya: Let's take this nice and easy.
Zephyr: Let's waste them and get out of here.
In chapter 16 when Drei conveniently shows up the party kindly asks him to leave which he does, leaving the party in disbelief that he actually left. He then returns less than 5 seconds later with a whole pack of enemies saying he doesn't have to listen to the party's orders.
Yuri: Figures.
The Ogami Charm strikes again in Chapter 25. After he and Sakura help stop the energy reaction threatening the Fujisakura, Kaguya thanks Ichiro, and a "Relationship Up" chime sounds. Sakura and Haken are not amused.
At the end of Chapter 25, Erica tells Saya that she can tell a villain just by looking, and Saya is no villain. When Saya thanks her and says she'll treat her to some pudding, Erica says she thinks this is the start of a beautiful friendship. Then Zephyr steps in.
Zephyr: OK, well, we know where Erica sets the bar. What does everyone else think?
In Chapter 26, when Chun-Li tries to persuade Juri to join the group.
Bruno: If she refuses, we take her down, Chun-Li's decades of experience at work.
Chun-Li: ...Bruno.
Bruno: Gahh! Years! Years of experience. ...Months?
In Chapter 31, Due Flabellum casually strolls out of Mii's mansion and reveals she's used her shower and eaten her gourmet flan. Several characters treat this like it's The Worst Thing Ever. Devilotte, of all people, thinks she's gone too far.
Devilotte: You demon! How dare you steal a poor young woman's afternoon snacks!
- And then the next time Due challenges the party in Chapter 37, Mii brings up the flan again.
In the epilogue, when the characters go shopping in Akihabara, Alisa comments on the anime she's picked up. Then it turns out that Xiaomu picked all the titles...to which the entire party jumps to a conclusion of exactly what Xiaomu got her to buy. She doesn't even deny it.
Later on in the epilogue, when Aura is leading a large part of the party to their separate worlds, Ichiro thanks her, which causes her to have an...interesting reaction.
Sakura: (with her annoyed expression) Ogami-san, ladies and gentlemen. The only person who can embarrass an AI.
When Kurt and Riela appear in front of Valkyrie, they use their own names with each other, but when they notice her, they insist on being called No. 07 and no. 13 Valkyrie suggests taking the number seventeen for her own name. Then, when Dante and the rest of the party shows up, Valkyrie promptly introduces herself as No. 17 and Kurt and Riela by their names.
Batsu runs into Jin and Xiaoyu in the land of ghouls and ghosts. And upon hearing this, Batsu had this to say...
Batsu: Damn. Something about that sounds like death. Constant. Meaningless. Death.
In chapter 38, Dokumezu and Dokugozu while being Brainwashed and Crazy by Riemsianne calls Saya an old hag. Just to twist the knife further, Estelle tries consoling her which fails as the two just pushed her Berserk Button. And there's also Dokugozu referring to Kaguya as his ex-future wife.
The Doom reference in Chapter 38 when you fight Seth for the third time.
Juri: I'm gonna send your ass straight to hell!
Xiaomu: Yeah! Say hi to the cyberdemons for us!
Reiji: I think we're pretty much close to hell already... But anyway! This is as far as you go, Seth!
Real life example but during the 2nd Original Generation preview, Tetsu Inada^notewho does voice Arthur asks what fans wanted to ask:
Inada: Wait a second, did you guys forget somebody?^note
About half of what Morrigan says suggests she's planning a mass orgy when they have some downtime.
This end battle quote between the Resonance of Fate pair:
Zephyr: "Real damn close."
Leanne: "Real damn close. Ugh, now you've got me saying it."
In Chapter 34, Kite points out how the completely empty city of Paris they arrived in is just another illusion.
Xaiomu: A simulated city, eh? Let's hope this isn't one of the disaster scenarios.
At the start of Chapter 35, the party is complaining about climbing the stairs all the way up. Then Ein and Drei show up, but Drei is too high ip. He says he doesn't want to blow out his knees on the stairs. Erica chimes in out of sympathy.
Erica: Poor little stairs. No one loves you...
In chapter 41, Arthur joins in on Xiaomu's cheerful rhyming.
Xiaomu: Yeah, girl! Smash that barrier!♪ Space that Harrier!♪
Arthur: Come! Apply justice to this fiend's derriere!♪

Project X Zone 2

Xiaomu in the first prologue:
Xiaomu: Reiji! When life gives you lemons, you close the door and read them all!
- And their reactions to the massive Cool Car soon after:
  Xiaomu: Just think of the cool board game parties you could have in this thing!
  Reiji: Yes, yes, I'm sure the BSAA came all the way to Japan to sit in a car and trade pretend sheep with one another.
One of KOS-MOS' attacks involves stealing one of MOMO's attacks from the first game. Specifically, the one that involves a transformation into a really cute Magical Girl-style dress.
- KOS-MOS and Fiora are pretty much a comedy duo due to their personalities.
Fiora: I have a true friend here too! Right, KOS-MOS?
KOS-MOS: Fiora, we have only known each other for a few minutes.
...
KOS-MOS: My external appearance is down 5%. Fiora, I need to be cleaned.
Fiora: Ok. Uh...do you need a waxing too?
Most of Phoenix's dialogue counts. He's still as snarky as ever.
- Then the end of Chapter 5 has the rest of the party giving good reasons they will keep with the group. Maya tells Phoenix why they need to go: they need evidence to prove Heihachi is innocent for causing the Kamurocho incident and that Bison is the real culprit. Besides, there's an assassin after them...
Phoenix: Oh, right...Little Red Murder Hood.
- At one point, after a second failed contract with Bison, B.B. Hood threatens the party to join Bison's "Dolls" in order to try and take everyone out. Which is met by...
  Chun Li: ...hope you like high-cut uniforms...
In their first meeting with Aty, Phoenix wondered if tutoring gave Aty magical powers, and Xiaomu reveals that all she knows about teachers came from, likely, erotic manga and anime.
Aty: I-I'd never do anything like that!
Reiji: Are you...are you molesting yourself?
The game's opening shows off Majima, Leanne, and Ulala in an awesome pose till the camera shifts where the big monsters are behind their backs and all three get scared and run away. Then the ones behind them have a sweat before being crushed by something even bigger than them.
- The part where the three original characters, Reiji, Xiaomu, and new character Chizuru Urashima driving the Dragonturtle Mk. 1 until Chizuru floors it. It's a blink and miss it but both Reiji and Xiaomu stumble with Xiaomu hitting the glass.
- Phoenix and Maya's Oh, Crap! moment when T-elos decides to do a Dynamic Entry, followed by Nemesis being all intimidating while Phoenix points his finger at him.
- Oogami surrounded by both Sakura and Erica, while Gemini looks at the giant robot and Kagemaru in the background.
In Akira and Kagemaru's Limit Break, Kagemaru somehow manages to ring out himself.
Nemesis' first words when he appears? BSAA.
Xiaomu refers to the BSAA as the Badass Sexy Action Agency.
When Vashyron and Zephyr meet up with 3 years later Alisa, both immediately declare that she's the new Leanne. And when Leanne finally arrives, the two feign ignorance of Leanne's identity.
Maya makes a rather astute observation upon encountering M. Bison for the first time.◊
Yuri and Flynn run into Segata Sanshiro and Yuri can't even make any heads or tails with whatever Segata's saying, finally telling Flynn that he's leaving it all up to him.
- Segata's Fastball Special to both Yuri and Flynn to reach Estelle.
- Sakura and Segata get to do the entire commercial of Sakura Wars 2 in the cheesiest way possible. Followed up by Erica attempting to do the same towards Oogami. Sakura immediately snaps out of it and confronts the two of them.
- The other Sega characters are in awe at his presence (that includes people from the future and from alternate universes). Except for Gemini.^note
- Reiji questioning why Segata is known throughout the multiverse and across space and time.
When new boss unit Sheath gets introduced, Xiaomu says that her Genki Girl-ness and Gratuitous English/mangled Japanese she learned from the Internet just scream "USA". Chris and Jill obviously immediately take offense.
Captain Commando joins the party For Great Justice. Smash Cut to the Mishimas and Majima. Lampshaded by Maya noting how they aren't the noblest of heroes.
After several false starts, the party finally meets X and Zero, the famed Maverick Hunters who will serve as their escorts in cyberspace. What's the first word to come to mind?
Aty: I wasn't sure what to expect, but they're...they're ADORABLE.
Zero: [bristling] ...We may look like kids, lady, but we're not.
X: Let it go, Zero.
Xiaoyu barging on a confrontation between Chun-Li and the Shadowloo-Ouma team up by asking Chun-Li if she's seen Jin somewhere. She then lampshades that it may have been a terrible time to even ask, with Chun-Li pretty much telling her that she's now also targeted by Shadaloo.
- Followed by this exchange after Ryo joins up with the two and everyone else catches up.
  Xiaomu: What about you? You're the one pushing a bunch of kids in a stroller.
  Chun-Li: They're not that young!
  Xiaoyu: (to Chun-Li) Mommy! ♪
  Ryo: Hey, knock it off, Xiaoyu.
During the party's first trip on the Dragonturtle, Jin compliments Kiryu after losing to him in a supposed fist fight, with Kazuya demanding that he fight next. When Aty and Xiaoyu freak out about people fighting, it was revealed that they (take note of these individuals) were playing ping pong.
- Over time, the party gets used to the Dragonturtle being filled with as many amenities as possible. When they get it back, they start freaking out about how things have gone a bit haywire, like Xiaomu complaining about the arcade being bugged out and Dante demanding another strawberry sundae when his gets stolen.
- The Running Gag that the Shinra organization is understaffed. Chun-Li complains she didn't know there was anyone else at Shinra, while Xiaomu shoots back that she didn't know anyone else was at Interpol.
In Chapter 9, Saya lies to Leon and Ada Wong that she is Shinra and everyone else who just arrived were Ouma. She even points out how they have notorious criminals working for them. Majima takes offense.
Majima: Hey, I'm just an honest businessman. Don't make me cut you, lady!
Pair up Reiji and Xiaomu with Phoenix and Maya, win a battle, and Reiji and Phoenix will engage in courtroom antics. With Xiaomu's ass on the line.
Xiaomu: If I don't step up my game, Reiji's going to punish me. Noooo, anything but that!
Phoenix: Objection! Your facial expressions don't match up with your testimony!
Reiji: Hold it! The objection is correct, but this is nothing abnormal.
- And then there's this gem:
Maya: It is you who should gaze upon the moon...
Xiaomu: For it will be the last moon you ever see!
Reiji: See you in hell, Evil Magistrate! ...Is that how it went?
When Haseo first mentions his attempts to regain Skeith to the party, they offer to help him grind Skeith into powder, the better for dissolving in his drink of choice. That's not even their worst misunderstanding:
Haseo: Skeith! What have you done with MY Skeith?!
Xiaomu: Holy crap, does this mean that Skeith-slash-Haseo is canon?
In Chapter 12, our resident shinobi discuss how to scale a cliffside, Morrigan gets in on the fun too.
Hiryu: It'd be easy to scale with a Climb Sickle.
Hotsuma: You could also run up the wall and do a side jump.
Zero: Why bother with that? Just keep kicking the wall.
Morrigan: Have fun with that. My vertical dash will get me up before any of you.
Maya: Um...Is there any option for, y'know...ordinary folks?
Kazuya: Hmph, a wall like this? A trivial climb.
Heihachi: Inconsequential.
Jin:...If you two can do it, then so can I.
Phoenix: And for those of us who DON'T spend 20 hours a day in the gym?
- Then Chris walks in:
Aty: Oh Chris, where have you been?
Chris: I brought back a rope ladder from the helipad on the deck. Could anyone go hang it up for us?
- After the climb, Majima ribs Phoenix a bit.
Majima: Giving up already, Prof? Forget 20 hours in the gym, maybe you should try 20 MINUTES.
Jill's years of experience in dealing with zombies allows her to give insight into fight Lord Raptor:
Jill: Zombies tend to not give up easily. Kind of their whole thing, really. "Whatever, screw you, I didn't need that leg anyway."
In the Basel chapter, Leanne, much to her disgust, is forced to charm Cardinal Garigliano into providing pure gold and silver to the team in order to repair the Dragonturtle. She brings along certain members to appeal to his fetishes as he is "an admirer of beauty". She brings Felicia and Erica (the catgirl fetish), Natsu and Hibana (the ninja girl fetish), KOS-MOS and Fiora (the robot girl fetish), Xiaomu and Ingrid (the young old girl fetish, which they are annoyed by the labeling), and...Segata.
Garigliano: I've found the cats! (Felicia and Erica) I've found the ninjas! (Natsu and Hibana) I've found the old ladies! (Xiaomu and Ingrid looking annoyed) I've found the robots! (KOS-MOS and Fiora) I've found Segata! (Segata)
- Upon learning that Garigliano is a cardinal—as in a clergyman—and one of the rulers of Basel, Leon, an American, immediately grouses at the how wonderful of an idea it is to let the church have political power in the land.^noteSeparation of Church and State playing a supporting role in the nation's founding, not to mention how Leon himself doesn't exactly have the best experience with religious organizations.
  - At the end of the chapter, Chizuru leads "the prayer":
  Felicia: Oh! Mother Leanne!
  Ingrid: We art unworthy of thy blessings.
  Erica: You shine like the spirit of God Himself!
  Lucina: Your celestial radiance humbles us all, Lady Leanne...
  Leanne: Aaagh! No! Stop that!
When Ulala and the Rhythm Rogues first appear, Ulala explains how Dance Energy works to the party. They pick up quickly:
KOS-MOS: Understood. Initiating tactical dancefare.
Vergil hates noise:
Ulala: And now, we bring you to a special rockin' guitar session!
Dante: Okay, Ulala! Let's play!
Vergil: My ears...Someone, help...
Morrigan still calls Demitri and Valkyrie by her pet nicknames:
Morrigan: Demi-Demi? Valcatraz? You two ready to go?
Demitri: Don't call me "Demi-Demi".
Valkyrie: I must raise similar objections to "Valcatraz"...Morri-Morri.
Estelle gets inspiration from the wrong source:
Estelle: My next picture book's about the special bond between parents and children.
Kazuya: Oh, really? Sounds interesting.
Jin: Yeah. Keep an eye on us. You'll learn a lot.
Yuri is all too willing to tarnish the legacy of Vesperia and the Tales Series if it means shutting Segata up:
Segata: Yes! You are the RPG to enforce Justice!
Yuri: If a part is infected, you cut it off before it infects the whole!
Flynn: Wh-What're you talking about, Yuri?
Axel is too Hot-Blooded even for Demitri:
Axel: My blood is boiling! I'm gonna paint the streets with my rage!
Morrigan: Maybe you should siphon away some of his blood, Demitri.
Demitri: Not his. He'd give me heartburn.
Vashyron's perversity still shines as he tries to make Felicia an offer.
Vashyron: Hey, Felicia, interested in starting a hostess club with me?
Zephyr: You sure? Are there dudes into catgirls?
Felicia: Whoa! What're you talking about!? Don't you touch me!
Majima also shows his lewdness to Felicia as well.
Felicia: Lemme show off this dance! It's one of my favorites!
Majima: Ooh, girl, I like it! I'd tip ya if I could figure out where to put it.
Kiryu: That's not how you treat a world-famous musical star.
Sakura is not pleased of how Leon thinks of her:
Leon: So I'm bodyguard to a geisha and a cowgirl now? Eesh.
Sakura: Leon, I'm not a geisha!
Gemini: And I'd say I'm more of a samurai at heart!
- Really, the fact that Leon is so goddamn tired of escort missions is funny for anyone who played Resident Evil 4.
In contrast, Sakura seems to enjoy being in Segata Sanshiro's company:
Segata: Saaaakuraaaa! Saaaakuraaaa!
Sakura: Hee hee! Right over here, Seeegataaaa! Hee hee...
Gemini: Oh my goodness, get back here, you two!
- It's even funnier in Japanese. Instead of "Oh my goodness", Gemini says, in Gratuitous English, "OH MY GOD!"
X inviting Valkyrie into his unit:
X: Valkyrie, would you like to join the 17th Elite Unit?
Valkyrie: Unit 17? It's like it was made for me!
Zero: What is it with you and that number?
Ryo and Xiaoyu apparently have No Indoor Voice and inadvertently make Chun-Li feel old:
Xiaoyu: These are strong foes...but we've got the advantage of youth!
Ryo: Yeah, Xiaoyu, we've got vigor and idealism they can never touch!
Chun-Li: Umm...You know I'm in earshot, right? Hello?
- Chun-Li apparently isn't the only one who feels old. Thanks, Maya!
Maya: Wow, your father looks so young! I'm jealous!
Lucina: I know! So strong, yet he miraculously keeps his youth about him...I'm so proud of him!
Chrom: Lucina, you do realize I'm actually not that old, don't you?
Natsu is annoyed that Hotsuma and Hiryu are TOO business-like:
- Example 1:
Hotsuma: Commence operations.
Strider Hiryu: Don't fall behind, Natsu.
Natsu: C'mon, we're all ninja here, right? Why you guys gotta be so friggin' stoic and crap? Lighten up, you're a badass ninja and--Hey! Come back here! I'm not done! Guys!
- Example 2:
Strider Hiryu: Mission accomplished.
Hotsuma: Natsu. Next mission.
Natsu: C'mon, we won! Shouldn't we revel in it more? Be all ninjariffic, like, "I am the blade of the night" or something? Hello? Oh, I see how it is. Hi Natsu, how are you? Swell, thanks!
- Guess she isn't alone:
Strider Hiryu: On it.
Hotsuma: Understood.
Leon: I appreciate how businesslike you folks are...But it sure is quiet.
- And one more for the road makes three:
Ulala: I'm afraid our guests today aren't talkative! But never fear, Ulala will fill in the dead air loud and clear! First, watch and enjoy our expertly-crafted steps!
Hotsuma: I suggest we hurry.
Strider Hiryu: Right.
Heihachi may have caught on to some rather ominous, yet hilarious, foreshadowing:
Chris: Heihachi, you're not cooking up any new drugs, are you?
Heihachi: I'm thinking up a drug to induce blonde hair next.
Jill: Hmph, who would go out of their way to turn their hair blonde?
- In a similar fashion, Chris's praise of Leanne's acrobatic movements leads to a forshadowing of Jill's future:
Chris: As always, great moves, Leanne.
Leanne: The two of you need a lot more airborne shooting!
Jill: Sorry, but at my age, improbable gymnastics are out of the question.
Kite has a weird way of interpreting a defense attorney's work:
Haseo: Fighting with words sounds like a huge pain. Me, I'd just slash 'em.
Kite: I dunno, Attorney sounds like a fun character class. Arcane incantations and stuff.
Phoenix: Do kids these days even know what legal work entails?
- He's not the only one:
X: Does that badge of yours shoot lasers or anything?
Phoenix: I don't think that's how attorneys work, no...
Zero: Well, why NOT? That's the question.
Yuri refuses to care:
Flynn: Nothing can withstand my iron sword!
Heihachi: Nothing can withstand my iron fist!
Yuri: And nothing can make me give a crap! Have fun, guys.
Haseo has a minor case of mistaken identity:
Haseo: We got company. Back me up, Atoli! Wait, you're not Atoli.
Aty: Now, now, Haseo, no picking on your teacher.
Kite: Heh. Bet you thought The World would keep you safe from school discipline.
X's weapon tastes seem a little...sophisticated:
Zero: You fight empty-handed? Don't you have any weapons, Axel?
Axel: Hmm. I am handy with a metal pipe or a two-by-four.
X: We mean real weapons, not trash!
- Leanne tries to get him to be more open-minded:
Zero: Our foes are before us. Are you ready?
Leanne: X! Equip my Frying Pan Arm, quick!
X: I, uh, I think I'll pass, Leanne.
Vashyron might find Maya's channeling ability to be somewhat useful in more ways than one:
Vashyron: Maya, you got a lot of room for growth still...If ya know what I mean.
Maya: Oh, you should see how my body grows when I'm channeling my sister!
Zephyr: That's kinda cheating, isn't it?
Sakura has a weird request for Alisa:
Sakura: Can you set that God Arc to only devour weird pervs?
Alisa: Huh? Not really...All I can do is extract their cores.
Gemini: Gosh, I wonder who you're referring to, Sakura...
Alisa and Kite wondering eagerly just how many types of weapons Haseo could be compatible with:
Alisa: Haseo, I bet you could wield Short Blades, Buster Blades, Variant Scythes the whole deal!
Kite: I bet he'll be on to hammers and spears next.
Haseo: Man, shut up! I get to choose my weapons, not you.
Dante is aware of how his brother broke Marvel vs. Capcom 3:
Felicia: Remember, let's play fair!
Vergil: There is no fairness in war.
Dante: At least not with you, king of the cheap moves.
Chun-Li and Xiaoyu feel sorry for Hibana:
Xiaoyu: Ninja really have it tough these days, what with all the competition.
Chun-Li: Yeah, it's hard for them to stand out. Ninja clothes are so common.
Hibana: Have you looked in the mirror lately, Fancy Chinese Girl?
Leanne asks Morrigan a question. Demitri thinks he has an answer, but...:
Leanne: Morrigan, what can be done to bring life back to a scorched land?
Demitri: Hmm, worried about the environment, are you? Try water.
Morrigan: I suggest collagen and milk.
Kiryu and Majima are starstruck by actual royalty:
Estelle: Great to meet you, Kiryu and Majima. I'll do my best.
Majima: Damn, a real princess? I dunno how I'm supposed to behave.
Kiryu: Just...Just try not to say the F-word. We're representing Kamurucho here.
KOS-MOS understands many different languages:
Natsu: Dang, these are some wiggy-ass fake-os! Let's give them the sadface.
Fiora: Um...What did you say, Natsu?
KOS-MOS: She said that she welcomes the hostiles before us in order to improve her training.
Words fail Kazuya:
Jin: Don't pay attention to that guy, Ulala. Just ignore him.
Ulala: Understood! Now, on this special edition, watch as I help the Mishima family reconcile!
Kazuya: Who the hell are you? Go do your...your weird dance thing somewhere else. Got it?
A case of Hypocritical Humor:
Jin: Alisa, close up your front already.
Kazuya: Don't you have any shame, woman?
Alisa: That's rich, coming from a couple of guys who walk around topless.
Ichiro can't get a break:
Erica: It's not too late for you to repent, Ogami-san.
Felicia: (*in her nun robes*) Atone for your serial crime of bath-peeping!
Ichiro: You too, Felicia-kun?!
Pairing Felicia with Ryu and Ken gives us this Continuity Nod...
Ryu: Nice moves out there, Felicia!
Ken: I can totally see why you're an action movie star!
Felicia: Ken, get me a part in a REAL movie next time!
Chrom and Lucina mistake Felicia for something else.
Lucina: I didn't know there were Taugels in other worlds.
Chrom: But are you unable to complete the transformation, Felicia?
Felicia: It doesn't work like that, silly! I'm a catgirl!
Estelle thinks of a children's book about Ryu and Ken. Ken attempts to co-author...
Estelle: Once upon a time there was a white fighter and a red fighter...
Ryu: You making a kid's book out of us or something?
Ken: The red one's gonna win in the end, right, Estelle?
Felicia shows she can be a diva at times.
Felicia: Nngh, let me rest for a second! I'm an actress, you know!
Akira: Ugh. Movie types can be such divas.
Kagemaru: Training is everything. Keep your momentum up.
Ryu and Ken paired with Pai do a subtle Take That! against a certain other kung fu lady.
Ryu: You'd better work more on your kicks if you want to match my power, Pai.
Pai: But if you practice that too much, don't you risk developing cartoonishly thick legs?
Ken: We, uh, have no comment on the matter.
The tension between Jin and Kazuya can be awkward at best, even to the opposition...
Jin: Get moving, Kazuya Mishima.
Kazuya: You little worm. Who do you think you're talking to?
Felicia: Wow, awkward! You guys are even scaring away our enemies!
Valkyrie doesn't really know the kind of relationship Jin and Kazuya have with each other.
Kazuya: The power of the Angels...Someday it too will be mine. Heh heh heh...
Valkyrie: Drowning in power will destroy you soon enough. Your son will grieve for you.
Jin: Fat chance. Maybe I'll throw a party.
There's at least one thing Jin and Kazuya will agree with each other on.
Jin: What's wrong, Heihachi? Those old muscles not moving like they used to?
Kazuya: It's all just an act. He'll be playing bingo in a nursing home any day now.
Heihachi: Ngh...I'm the only thing you two agree on, aren't I.
Zero is too cool for "Chu":
Ulala: Aim at our foes and use the A-Button X-Buster! Chu!
X: Got it, Ulala! Chu!
Zero: I refuse to vocalize that inane syllable.
KOS-MOS however, is much more willing:
Fiora: Why don't you study some of Ulala's moves, KOS-MOS?
KOS-MOS: Up, down, left, right, chu, chu, hey!
Ulala: It appears dance algorithms already exist in her databanks! Chu!
Yuri knows his buddy way too well:
Aty: Well, our foes are down. Time to nab those ingredients. I'm good at finding those!
Flynn: I'd be happy to handle the cooking later, Aty.
Yuri: Flynn cooking? With whatever we find on the ground here? I'm out.
Axel wouldn't mind some assistance:
Strider Hiryu: Options activated.
Hotsuma: You ready, Yamato?
Axel: Robo-animals and a ninja dog? Maybe I shoulda called up that kangaroo.
Ryo can't wait for Shenmue 3:
Ryo: Hey, do you guys know where sailors might hang out?
Majima: Damn, son, you never shut up about sailors, do you.
Kiryu: Kids these days have strange obsessions. I don't get it.
Reiji, the bare-knuckle brawler?
Axel: Y'know, I bet you could fight just fine barehanded, Reiji.
Reiji: Ooh, street fighter-style, huh? I've got a few kicking moves, true.
Xiaomu: Aww yeah! Bring on the "Streets of Reiji"!
Chun-Li forewarns Axel of the fate that befalls most beat-em-up heroes if they cross the line:
Xiaoyu: Whoa, Axel, settle down! You're outta control!
Chun-Li: Don't make me arrest you for property damage.
Axel: Ha! I wouldn't look good in a prison uniform.
Segata tells Ryu how he mastered his path to becoming a true warrior:
Ryu: So, in mastering a path, you come to truly know yourself?
Segata: Yes, Ryu! Master the path of play! You must play the Sega Saturn!
Ken: Wait, is that your idea of training?
- He also has a message for a particular fighting game creator from Namco Bandai^note:
Segata: Harada-san! You and your team have made fantastic games! Well done!
Kazuya: Will this crazy man ever shut up? Who's he even talking about?
Jin: Odd. Why does that name sound familiar?
- He also references the controversy that was casual mode in Awakening
Segata: Chrom! The only true way to play is Classic mode!
Chrom: Wh-what on earth? This man's intense aura is practically overpowering me!
Lucina: Something tells me we'd better avoid defeat at all costs...
Pai knows her classics:
Pai: This might've been the most painful day of your life. But for Me, It Was Tuesday.
Xiaoyu: Whoa, epic burn! No wonder you're a famous actor.
Chun-Li: Something about that sounds familiar, though...
Ken has a job offer for Nick:
Ken: Hey, our company's German office has a legal position open. Interested?
Phoenix: And leave America to face HER again? That whip hurts, you know...
Ryu: Whip? The public prosecutors in Germany are trained in combat?
Maya considers returning to her training:
Maya: I still need more training. Maybe I should find a nice waterfall...
Ryu: A waterfall? Those are the best places to train! Can I come? Can I come?
Ken: Maya, his style might be a bit too intense for you.
Majima invites Leanne to Kamurucho:
Majima: A chick in makeup packin' heat...you'd be a hit in Kamurucho, Leanne.
Leanne: Sorry to disappoint, but I have PMF work to do.
Kiryu: So wait, you'd do it if you didn't have other work?
Felicia still thinks King isn't human:
Xiaoyu: Gotta say, Felicia, you act more human than King does.
Felicia: I suppose. He's always got his mouth open, like, "MRAAAHHH".
Chun-Li: I thought that was just a mask.
Future-style Yakuza?
Ulala: I'm bringing you a live report alongside a pair of space yakuza!
Majima: We're just regular yakuza, babe...Though, hold on, that sounds badass.
Kiryu: Looking to expand your territory, Majima?
Ingrid and Xiaomu agree that Reiji's uptight:
Ingrid: For a youngster like you, Reiji, you're a huge disappointment.
Xiaomu: Hey, don't blame him for being such a hopeless romantic.
Reiji: You're both asking for a spanking...
Majima takes offense to Leon's idea about his profession:
Leon: Never thought I'd be teaming up with a pair of yakuza thugs...
Majima: We're not thugs! We're "businessmen of the night"! Understand?
Kiryu: Good to see you sticking up for yourself, Majima.
Chrom tries bonding with Ryo by adopting a more modern speaking pattern.
Chrom: What is up, young soldier? How does it hang?
Ryo: H-Hang? You need me to teach you how to play Hang-On?
Lucina: You don't need to practice camaraderie right now, Father.
Felicia unknowingly offers Reiji to give her a kinky spanking session...
Xiaomu: Reiji, if we pull this one off, you owe me a "fried tofu"!
Felicia: Ooh, me too! With extra catnip on top!
Reiji: I'm not sure you realize what that's code for, Felicia...
Chun-Li has no idea how teens speak nowadays:
Xiaoyu: Ugh! Way too many enemies TBH^noteto be honest.
Natsu: Totally! They're like way ratchet, SMH^noteshaking my head.
Chun-Li: I swear, young people today are impossible to understand!
- And she's not alone in that:
Zephyr: Geez, they ever gonna send us enemies that aren't made of fail?
Natsu: Haha! MY FACE WHEN we totally stomp on their stupid asses.
Vashyron: I guess young people always sound the same, no matter the era...
- This also extends to explaining her job:
Erica: Do you need a license to be practice ninjutsu?
Natsu: Huh? Why would you? Just get up there and...You know. Ninja.
Ichiro: She's kinda under the impression that Japan needs licenses for everything.
- Those quotes are funnier considering that Natsu was born in the 1500's and speaking in a way that is more reminiscent of teenagers today.
Akira and Kage Maru manage to reach the Queen Zenobia in a rowboat...all the way from Japan. Considering that the Queen Zenobia herself is all the way out in the Mediterranean Sea, quite a few people had a couple of things to say about it:
Reiji: I see the famed martial artist Akira Yuki is here with you. You came all the way across the ocean?
Akira: It was hard to catch up in this rickety old thing, but fortunately the ship stopped near the golden chains. Just in time, too. I'm pretty beat.
Ryo: ...Wait, did you come out here in a ROW-boat?
Akira: Sure thing. It was good training.
Majima: I've met some morons in my time, but...
Akira: What else could I do? Kage Maru here just stood on the bow with his arms crossed doing nothing.
Kage Maru: (is still doing exactly that and not saying a goddamn word)
Xiaomu: That's how ninja are supposed to ride boats. Haven't you seen any ninja movies?
In Chapter 17, when half of the party run into Ryu and confront Bison, the latter states ominously that he "needs" Ryu. Cue Ingrid joking that on the bright side, the Ryu/M. Bison shippers will be happy. After both groups reunite and are briefed on their respective situations, Xiaomu makes the same joke, only for Ingrid to point out that she beat her to the punch.
- When the group meets Alisa (who is having a standoff with M. Bison) and she gets to meet everyone...
Ryo: (looking away) Could you at least button your shirt?
Alisa: Hey, this was the only size they had—wait a minute, I know some of you!
Vashyron: (dancing) Yoohooooo! Aliiiisaaaa!
- The best part is how Vashyron rolls in right next to Ryo, who still has the uncomfortable look on his face. Looking at the two men together, it can be taken as Ryo looking at him like, "God damn it, Vashyron..."
- In the same chapter, Alisa contacts Far East headquarters and gets assigned to join the protagonists. Altruism? Protection of top secret data that the bad guys have? Nope. Her boss wants her to pick up some cigarettes, booze, and anime for him while she's travelling to pre-apocalyptic times.
On their way to Paris, the party makes use of the Dragonturtle Mk.I's facilities, including beds, dining, and all sorts of games. As well as...well...
Urashima: Did you two at least get some sleep?
Reiji: More or less.
Xiaomu: (grinning) There's plenty of private rooms. Easy enough to get some quiet time.
Urashima: Quiet time, yes. Nothing that would scandalize my Dragonturtle Mk.I, of course. Activity-wise.
Xiaomu: (no response)
Reiji: (also no response)
Urashima: (blushing) ...right. Moving on...
In Chapter 19, Erica is about to pull off a Love Confession to Ichiro while they are trapped by enemy forces led by Pyron...only for Sakura to interrupt it as the rest of the current gang arrive. Ichiro then suddenly backs away, with an "Oh, Crap!" expression, as awkward moments ensue. Even funnier is that Ichiro had just said something to Erica to trigger the "Affection Up!" sound from their home series.
Sakura: Imperial Assault Force, assemble!
Ichiro: S-Sakura?!
Phoenix: Wait, I never joined the Imperial As—
Sakura: ...Imperial Assault Force, assemble.
Maya: A-assemble...
- In the same chapter, Aty, miffed at Sheath for summoning Stray Beasts, attempts a reverse summon...and manages to accidentally summon Felicia instead. Needless to say, Felicia was not happy. In the midst of all this, we get this gem from June:
June: Huh. You, uh, you made a naked chick. Is that the first part of the ritual, Ms. Aty?
- Vashyron approves.
Beating Dokumezu in Chapter 25 gets you an impromptu grammar lesson:
Dokumezu: [...] I just gotta lie down for a bit.
Haseo: It's LAY down, idiot.
Aty: Actually, there's no direct object, so "lie" is correct. The confusion arises because the past tense of intransitive verb "lie" and the present tense of—
Kite: Basically, if he ever decides to start laying eggs, let us know and we'll revisit the topic.
In chapter 26, Pyron appears with the second wave of enemies and says the heroes have something that he wants. Nana immediately presents to him an oden sandwich.
Chrom: I somehow doubt he means that, Nana.
In chapter 28, after Ryu used the Shin Shoryuken on Ken to sever Bison's hold on him and Estelle:
Yuri: Good thing we didn't have to do that to you too, huh, Estelle?
Estelle: Y-yes...I don't think I'd like that...
- Oh, and earlier on in the Chapter, when the others mention Metal Face:
Vergil: Metal Face? Who's that? It had better involve a face and/or metal, or I'll be disappointed.
Prologue 2 has Ichiro being injured and Erica planning to heal him...with a kiss. Sakura is not amused one bit, and Gemini notes that she has to hurry before things get ugly.
Chapter 39 has Sylphie trying to get away but Hiryu just says one word: "Ogami." Instantly, Ogami compliments Sylphie and her clothes, making her stay for a bit. Cue the jingle and a clingy Sakura.
When rescuing Estelle from M. Bison, Felicia and Alisa become shocked and disgusted that he plans to make her one of his Shadaloo dolls, which include putting her in a skintight outfit baring her legs and butt. Never mind Felicia's and Alisa's own states of dress...Reiji lampshades this beautifully.
Reiji: We can debate about ironies of that later. Right now, we need to focus on getting Princess Estelle back from Bison.
Vashyron was the last person who jumped from the exploding Balrog towards Miyuki's ship; in doing so, he manages to get away with witnessing a lot of the eye candy.
- The fact that the old timers just plain gave up and accepted using the catapult to throw themselves to Miyuki's ship as the norm is pretty hilarious to see, prompting Xiaoyu's surprise.
- Why did the catapult have to be used to escape the Balrog? Well:
Urashima: Perhaps next time you might get your exit strategy 100% nailed down BEFORE you surround yourselves with explosives?
Yuri: Yeah, sure, kick us while we're down. Look, how long do we got until the bombs go off?
KOS-MOS: [completely straightfaced] Five seconds.
- Hibana's introduction to the party has her crashing the stealth bomber onto the Balrog ship. Only, she accidentally crashes it at the Dragonturtle Mark 1 that's dangling on the edge, prompting Chizuru who was on it to fall down. When the stage finally finishes, Chizuru demands to know who did that. Hotsuma lies by saying that the one who did that was defeated already.
Vashyron calling the Revolving Cannon the "Trusty Magnum", earning the ire of some of the girls till a few of the party members who have already used it before can't really deny it. Finally, Erica calls it "the Trusty Magnum" and Gemini has to correct her.
- Maya, being a first-timer, was skeptical about the safety of this mode of travel. Sakura assures it's fine and says that the number of passengers that fell out was "low". Felicia deadpans that Sakura's statement was not reassuring in the least.
When the party has to use the Revolving Cannon again, Vashyron and Majima hope that there are women in the capsule that they get to ride on. When the first two groups get out of their capsule, Vashyron and Majima start screaming for help which worries the other party members. And then Lucina comes in and slashes the vines that trap the third capsule. Turns out, the reason why Vashyron and Majima were screaming for help is because the capsule they're in contains nothing but dudes. The girls call the both of them out on this.
- Chrom and Lucina's reaction to both Vashyron and Majima.
- Followed by Zephyr, Leon, and Ryo complaining why they were involved in this when Alisa packed all of the men in one capsule.^note
  Zephyr: What? You're saying you stuffed us all in there because of Vashyron!?
  Ryo: I don't even want to think about what the heat did to my leather jacket...
  Leon: Why? Why me?
- Before that, the first shell transport's passengers came out unscathed. Felicia makes a comment how it was a wonder how no one got seriously injured from the mode of travel. Xiaomu replies that it is no surprise since the passenger ratio was fourteen women to five men, so their capsule had a lot of "cushioning".
During Chapter 25, Phoenix is able to see through Saya's lies about the shards they've been collecting. She goes quiet, shudders for a moment, and lets loose with a Big "NO!", followed by turning completely back to normal and asking if that's how a court breakdown normally goes.
Chapter 28 has the party end up in the Space Channel 5 universe, where they intend to rescue a ship from hijackers. Vashyron comments that they should prepare for a fight, because the hijackers won't just open the door for them. Cut straight to...a giant door opening and Ulala leading the rest of the party into the ship in a dance routine. Levels of enthusiasm vary.
Chrom: How on earth did we get roped into this? Is it truly necessary?
Kiryu: This isn't something anyone should have to do sober.
Sakura: Hey, when in space, do as the space-farers.
Dante: Yeah, just go with it. Oh, crap, I shoulda brought a rose to carry between my teeth.
Xiaoyu: Walking in rhythm is tough. Maybe I should switch to a combat stance?
KOS-MOS: I have logged Ulala's ambulatory pattern into memory.
Demitri: Hmph. If you never learn your steps, you'll be the pariah of the Grand Ball of Makai.
Estelle: This is nothing like any ball I've ever been to...but I'll give it a try!
Xiaomu: Did they teach princesses how to dance these days? Hey, Ciel, you too! Shake that Fenrir-Credits-Maker!
Ciel: I had no plans to attend a ball, in the demon world of otherwise...
- And when it's over...
  Haseo: Good, no one saw us. Let's never speak of this again.
Chapter 31 is just full of these:
- There's just something funny about Otohime's castle being used as a courtroom with Phoenix as the defense attorney while Edgeworth as the prosecutor. And Kamuz is at the witness stand.
- Saya and Aya-me flirting with Tarosuke with the latter appreciating all the attention.
- Really, the fact that there is a trial being held with the party and Rival Units behind the defense and prosecution areas respectively and are forced to not fight while it's going on is funny as hell, considering how some of the people there (like X, Zero and Sigma) would like to jump at each other's throats. And then the inevitable fighting happens.
- After Otohime introduces herself, the first thing Estelle notices is that she's rather well-endowed in comparison.
- Vashyron at first is ticked at Tarosuke for having all this good entertainment. By the start of the next stage, he's calling Tarosuke, a kid, his master.
  - Why? Because the first thing Tarosuke did when he saw Morrigan was ask to play with her massive breasts in front of the entire group.
- When the trial (such as it is) and the fighting are all done, the party takes a break in Ryugu Castle...and Edgeworth of all people drinks until the party leaves him passed out on the floor.
Chapter 32 begins with the Overly Long Gag of Valkyrie verbally dancing around the fact that the Marvel Land Otohime warped the party to is not the same Marvel Land as her homeworld. X suspects an ulterior motive:
X: So this is Marvel Land and also not Marvel Land? Are you trying to break me with a paradox? Reploids don't work like that.
The party comes across a spike pit. X and Zero freak the hell out and get pissed off at Valkyrie for bringing them there. When offered a chance to cross it, they take the relatively safer option of a catapult ride (read: a catapult ride that the party initially believed to have killed Segata) while the others question why the Maverick Hunters are acting strangely.
X: What vision of hell have you taken us to, Valkyrie?!
- Natsu asks the burning question on everyone's minds:
Natsu: But he's like, made of metal, isn't he?
Chapter 36 has the group finding themselves in a hot spring stepping out of the Outrealm Gate. While the gold chains and the possible enemy presence are not out of mind, there was a foremost concern:
Felicia: Hot Springs! Natural outdoor hot springs!
Vashyron: What? Is this...a place for mixed bathing?
Chun-Li: Who knows. I'm more curious about the springs' purported health benefits. Every spring in Japan seems to have a whole list of them.
Xiaomu: Hmm...I'm gonna go with..."Softer skin, tighter tummies, slimmer waists, bigger busts."
Nana: Well, shoot! In that case, what are we waiting for?!
Estelle: Agreed!
Maya: Let's hurry!
Xiaoyu: Come on! All men, out through the gate!
- Later on after the hot springs are cleared of enemies, the rest of the group makes their way in after Sylphie was about to tell the first part something important...
Ryo: Wh-What is this place? While we were all fighting for our lives...were you taking a BATH?
Segata: Are you that eager for a swim? I could arrange dolphin rides if you really want!
Kite: Even Sylphie's here with you!
Sylphie: I only just arrived. It's a rathe lovely place though.
Ogami: The Outrealm Gate leads to an outdoor bath? It must have amazing health benefits.
Xiaomu: Yes, I think we determined it was..."Softer Skin, tighter tummies, slimmer waists, bigger busts."
Ingrid: Wow! In that case, what are we waiting for?!
Leanne: Agreed!
Erica: Let's hurry!
Alisa: Come on! All men, out through the gate!
In Chapter 37, the party is temporarily stuck in Ylisse while waiting for the Outrealm Gates to fix themselves. The girls decide to use the hot springs and understandably kick all the men out. Undeterred, Vashyron and Ogami (whose body was being "compelled") decide to sneak in. They return as well as you'd expect.
Vashyron: We tried...but then suddenly it was all "Kikoken!" "Summoned Beasts!" "Final Cross!"
- Part of the reason Vashyron decided it was a good idea was hat they could avoid physical punishment if they get caught since some of the ladies would be unarmed. Demitri points out how a good number of them can still fight hand-to-hand.
- Segata knew what was going to happen.
Yuri: And anyway, there's no way you could get close enough without being seen.
Segata: ...Not unless you had the help of a certain young man.
Vergil: Huh? Who?
Ogami: ...
Vashyron: Well? Whaddaya say, sensei?
Ogami: I can't...control...
Kazuya: Huh?
Ogami: My body...It's moving towards the bathing area of its own volition!
Ryu: So this is what a state of perfect selflessness looks like...
Vashyron: At last, the time has come! Everyone, follow Commander Ogami's lead!
- And in New Game Plus, you get to see what Ogami and Vashyron peeped before they get caught and the asskicking begins.
- Apparently, the girls had fun kicking the intruders out too.
Hibana: Even the special event where we kicked out the intruders was fun.
Alisa: ...I seriously hope you don't think that lets you off the hook.
- Right after this, Ichiro still manages to successfully flirt with Ulala, Morrigan, Valkyrie and Tiki. The girls from his own series, however, aren't ready to let him off the hook.
Sakura: ...You're not fooling US, Ogami.
Gemini: So you're the one who got Shiny started on peepin'!
Erica: You aren't buying me off with a pudding this time! It'll take at least a pudding AND a crepe!
Ichiro: Please, I couldn't help it! I just had to know what kept the bubbles in your shampoo from popping...
- The girls then decide that none of the guys get a turn in the hot springs after Axel and Ken complain, because even though only Vashyron and Ogami sneaked in, none of the other guys tried to stop them — save for Chrom, who rightfully attempted to on accounts that his own daughter was there.
Kage-Maru: We shall simply remain malodorous.
Leon: Story of my life.
Pair X and Zero with Captain Commando, and the latter two have nothing but praise for each other's skills.
Captain Commando: Yes! Spectacular moves out there, Zero!
Zero: You weren't too shabby, either. Every bit the Commando Team leader.
X: Sheesh, you guys, get a room.
- Captain Commando also unintentionally reminds Kazuya and Jin of somebody else from their past:
Captain Commando: That was a beautiful combination. Excellent!
Jin: Please don't say the E-word again, Captain.
Kazuya: Yeah...It reminds us of too much pain in our past.
- Similarly, have Axel fight alongside Chrom and Lucina for this gem:
Chrom: It's over...But don't let your guard down, Lucina.
Axel: Nah, it's OK. A little rest is good for you, Lucina.
Lucina: Um, I'm not sure who I should be listening to...
When you finally get to kill Kurohagane, when the ninja robot starts breaking down...
Kurohagane: AKUJIKI AKUJIKI AKUJIKI AKUJIKI AKUJIKI AKUJIKI AKUJIKI AKUJIKI AKUJIKI—
Hibana: Wow. Annoying. Blow up already.
Kurohagane: (does just that)
The ending, while sweet, has its moments:
- Hiryu, Zero and the Captain are using the party as a recruitment drive for each of their respective organizations. The latter two begin focusing on the ninjas who actually give the idea thought, and Badass Normal ninja Kage-Maru is the most hyped. Reiji then wonders if recruiters should be able to notice ninja to begin with.
- Aura gets summoned to the party by Segata connecting a Sega Saturn to net modem for 14400 bps connection, to the table with Kite, Haseo, Axel and Segata around it. Beforehand, they were talking about the state of gaming with Ryo and Axel, and about how they just don't make them like they used to.
- Pai, Leanne, Lucina, Xiaoyu, and Valkyrie have a footrace. In that race, Valkyrie uses her powers to her advantage, much to the disdain of the other ladies. Turns out that the girls made a bet about answering questions truthfully if they lost, and Valkyrie intended to keep her "secrets" safe.
- Dante starts wanting a strawberry sundae, and Yuri complies by trying to make one from the ingredients present. Nana, Estelle and Alisa start pitching in things one doesn't put in a dessert, Dante asks what in the world are they going to start.
- A 9-man Triple Threat match is about to happen between Ryu, Akira, Jin, Ken, Heihachi, Chris, Kazuya, Kiryu, and... Phoenix. The lead-up is pretty hilarious: the Mishimas realize that they can stop cooperating after Kazuya starts antagonizing Jin over Unknown. To keep things under control, a three-man three-way team battle between the Mishimas is made. Ryu and Akira lend their support to Jin, while Ken joins Heihachi for the chance to fight Ryu. Chris joins them, if only to practice fighting without weapons despite not being a martial artist; Jill takes the time to tell him that she's calling off their partnership if he starts surrounding his fists with lightning and fire. Kazuya begrudgingly allows Kiryu to join him, and Kiryu picks Phoenix as the last man. The ninjas are quick to point out how Phoenix's hair looks like the Mishimas', and his suit is similar to Kiryu's, culminating with an "Objection!" when Hiryu asks him to give the go signal. We never do see who wins. Reiji and Xiaomu play it smart and "check" on the other guests.
- KOS-MOS, Aty, Erica, Felicia, Zephyr, and Vashyron are practicing a dance routine with Ulala. Turns out that they were chosen by Otohime for a dance contest at Ryugu Castle, under the condition that they look like animals. Only Felicia seems to fit the bill due to her being a Cat Girl. To solve this problem, KOS-MOS uses her Hilbert Effect to transform the other dancers into their alternate costumes, including Erica's cat outfit, Aty at her full transformation into Shartos, and the reindeer outfits for both Vashyron and Zephyr, much to the men's dismay. As for KOS-MOS herself, she has her Verbal Tic...nya.
  - This was also to the dismay of a smaller table consisting of X, Leon, Ada and Vergil, who particularly wanted to get away from "fools making fools of themselves" (i.e. Dante). Speaking of them, Ada reveals that she only gave information to the party because of Leon. Cue Leon:
    Leon: There you go. My existence saved the world. Why thanks, Mr. President, I've always wanted my own fighter jet.^note
  - When all the dancers are in their animal "forms" and recover their groove, we get this gem:
    Reiji: Huh. Our animal-people army is really getting into it. Kinda creepy.
    Xiaomu: Reiji, dear, you do realize I'm part fox, don't you? It's a bit late to deny your furry fixations.
- Reiji and Xiaomu come across a relatively normal table with Chun-Li, Majima, Chrom, Ciel, Tiki, Ichirou, Flynn, Sakura, June, Ingrid, Gemini and Fiora enjoying a few drinks together. Apparently, they were catered to by Sylphie and Miyuki, who bill the men with 999,900 gold (the exact amount needed to buy Sylphie's dress in her item shop) on their tab. Cue the freak out.
  Majima: Motherf---! I've been set up! Framed!
  Chrom: Is...Is this the usual outcome of other-worldly gatherings?
- Really, the fact that everyone still decided to stick around for a party at Demitri's castle (again) is funny. Especially considering the no non-sense nature of characters like Kazuya, Vergil and Hiryu.
