Tropes:

• Adorable Evil Minions: The Mini Nobu you encounter during the event are adorable, miniature versions of Nobunaga.
• Debut Queue: Koha-Ace characters Oda Nobunaga and Okita Souji make their debut as servants here.
• Here We Go Again!: The Chibi-Nobu uprising is suppressed and Bad Nobu is defeated. Okita and Nobunaga return to their world, promising to meet the protagonist again... which they do the next day, when they come to ask for help against a Chibi-Okita uprising. Mash tells them to go home.
• Interface Spoiler: Present in the rerun, as Section 3 tries to keep the story support Servant a secret (Okita in 3rd Ascension), but the fact that the game shows the Honnouji Points bonus on them makes it obvious who they are.
• Lampshade Hanging: The characters involved often poke fun at the game and themselves, often referring to in-game mechanics.
