These Tropes are Insanely Charismatic:
- Battle Rapping: For Fumiya's Rap Battle Break, every character gets their time to shine while trading verses. note
- Cast Full of Crazy: This is due to everyone’s Charisma, making their defined trait exaggerated for the sake of comedy.
- Cerebus Syndrome: While still maintaining the comedy, the second season becomes more plot-driven and has the Charismatics forced out of their sharehouse and be on the run from Nakagami. It also delves deeper into the characters' personal hang-ups in the episodes leading to their respective break.
- Chromosome Casting: The main cast is all-male.

- Iori is green
- Terra is yellow
- Rikai is grey
- Kei is pink
- Ohse is teal
- Amahiko is purple
- Fumiya is orange
- Darker and Edgier: Ohse’s second solo, Hell Lazy, Psychology, is much heavier than Snow Melt, and features the usually soft-spoken and apologetic character screaming.
- Heroic RRoD: Charisma Break drains the Charismatics and will leave them temporarily incapacitated afterwards.
- Lighter and Softer: MAGICAL Order☆Rikapure! is much more lighthearted and upbeat compared to Declaration of Order.
- Lucky Charms Title: MAGICAL Order☆Rikapure!
- Sanity Ball: Every character’s “Charisma” has them act in bizarre ways, but they do take turns being the straight man out of everyone.

- A Wild Rapper Appears!: In the group songs, Fumiya’s parts are usually more hip-hop based and feature him rapping, which starkly stands out from everyone else’s verses.
