Monster Girl Quest

Monster Girl Quest (aka Monmusu Quest: Lose and the Girls Rape You) is an eroge created by a small doujin group, inspired by Monster Girl Encyclopedia. All three chapters have been released, each at separate times, with a translated compilation for all three chapters released at RogueTranslator's blog. A two-episode anime was released in 2017, which is set after the ending of the game and focuses more on sex scenes than plot. A remastered translation was also released in 2019, featuring higher resolutions, bug fixes, a polished translation, and the freedom to save anywhere.

Set In a World where Cute Monster Girls abound, the story follows Luka, a boy with aspirations of becoming a hero. On the day of his baptism as a Hero, his village is attacked by a slime girl. After defeating her and thus missing out on his baptism, Luka stumbles upon Alice, a lamia who apparently fell from the sky. After receiving a vision from the goddess Ilias, Luka resolves to set out on a quest to confront the Monster Lord in the hope of creating a world where humans and monsters can live together in harmony. Alice, seeing something special in Luka, decides to tag along under the pretense of seeing the world and all its delicacies.

Oh yeah, did we mention that the monster girls feed on and procreate with the semen of human males, usually against the man's will? To say that this game is explicit is to say that the Atlantic Ocean is damp. Just a heads up for anyone thinking of downloading it.

While this game did not invent the concept of vampish Cute Monster Girls and was hardly the first eroge, it was clearly the Trope Codifier for both.

Now has its own wiki!

Also has a sequel in Monster Girl Quest! Paradox RPG.

A-M

• A Taste of Power: Yeah, all that insane power you've amassed by the end of chapter 2? You know, being able to use all the spirits at once, access to Heinrich's ultimate attack, and being an overall epic badass capable of defeating the Four Heavenly Knights and Alice in succession? You get to only enjoy using that for the first few battles of chapter 3 before Diabolus Ex Machina kicks in and rips the spirits out of Luka. You spend the rest of the game recovering them, and even then more plot elements in place prevent you from using them the way you were in chapter two until you hit the final boss gauntlet of chapter 3 and actually NEED that kind of power. On the plus side you spend the rest of the game using Luka's angel powers and once the spirits are back at full power they're supercharging your already insanely powerful angel abilities.
• Affectionate Parody: The game is this to JRPGs in general. The monsters are all females who are (mostly) attractive yet needs human semen to preproduce, so most attacks are just sexual in some manner, with defeats being an H-scene, and just about every man you meet is down bad or in the closet about wanting to be assaulted by said Monster Girls. Then there the more general JRPG stuff as well: Luka initially wishes to be baptized so he can be considered a "true hero", but misses it and has to go it without the privilege's that comes with it, such as being able to stay in insanely expensive rooms, and stealing whatever you need from other people's houses. The initial McGuffins are relegated to a side option after Alice effortlessly destroys the supposed "Sword of Plot Advancement", and there's even the romance between humans is parodied for H-games, since the first one involves a mermaid who de-aged her lover as part of her fetish, while the second involves a runaway princess whose in love with Granberia.
• After Combat Recovery: Somewhat justified since almost all monsters use only pleasure attacks and any "recovery" is merely relaxing until the boner goes away. Turns out Luka can also recover from real wounds this way.

  Alice: What the hell is wrong with your body??

• Ahoge: Sylph has idiot hair, to no one's surprise.
• Alice Allusion: There initially seems to be no connection between Alice and Alice. Then Black Alice is introduced, a former Monster Lord who looks like a little blonde girl in a blue dress. Furthering the allusion, she takes a drug named White Rabbit to increase her power.
• All Women Are Lustful: All the featured monster women are biologically wired to very much enjoy the taste of semen, and the setting they're in forces them to take men by force just to breed to secure their species' survival. Through Luka's efforts, monster-human relations have been improved by the end of the game, and the monster women can live happily with willing husbands.
• A Man Is Not a Virgin: Subverted. Luka's first real intercourse (that doesn't result in a Game Over) is near the end of Part 2 following Ilias Kreuz HQ.
• And I Must Scream: Frederika. Having died of a disease her body is used as a basis for Chrome's ultimate zombie presumably going under some serious Body Horror in the process. When Luka fights her it becomes clear that her mind and soul are still there and very much aware as she manages several moments of clarity throughout the battle and uses them to beg Luka to kill her. Ultimately she gets to die peacefully afterwards.
• Asskicking Equals Authority: The Monster Lord is chosen by taking all the applicants and having them fight each other. Explicitly justified since there are powerful monsters out there, and if the Monster Lord wasn't the strongest, there would be no way to keep them in line. It is also noted that the daughter of every Monster Lord since the first has come out on top, a fact Alice takes great pride in.
• Attack of the 50-Foot Whatever: The Sandworm Girl and Kyoryuu are both absolutely colossal. The former is literally crushing a building in its sprite, while the latter has a forest of trees growing on its back. Both of their rape scenes involve sucking on Luka like a lollipop.
• Arc Villain: While it's a Boss Game and every encounter is unique, there are several "quests" tied to each level, the final boss of the stage being the "final boss" and are usually behind whatever is wrong with that part of the stage.
  • The Slime Girl is the very first enemy encountered, approaching Iliasville and causing civil panic. She's also the reason why Luka misses the baptism and meets Alice, setting the rest of their journey.
  • Granberia for Iliasberg, already attacking the town when Luka and Alice arrive. After a Hopeless Boss Fight against her, she is sent away by Alice, though has now become interested in Luka.
  • The Four Bandits for Irina Mountain, monster thieves stylizing themselves off the Four Heavenly Knights and (apparently) causing a ruckus, according to Amira. In truth, they are simply monster children who stuck together, and are so weak that even Luka has a hard time taking it seriously. Once defeating them, he convinces them to apologize to Iliasberg's citizens afterward.
  • Harpy Queen for Happiness Village, being the leader of the Harpies that have been kidnapping human males to procreate and survive. Upon being defeated, the men turn out to have developed Stockholm Syndrome for the harpies girls, leading to new arrangements where the two villages can coexist.
  • The Dark Elves for Enrika, being guardians who protect the village from outsiders.
  • Tamamo for Treasure Cave, trying to claim the Poseidon Bell within due to it being the only thing capable of passing through Alma Elma's storm. She ends up giving it up without a fight, so Nanabi is the last boss of the Cave.
  • Alma Elma for Iliasport, being the one responsible for the storm isolating the Ilias Continent from the rest of the world. She holds back during the first fight, letting Luka go after being forced to break her challenge.
  • Granberia again for the first part of San Ilia, having arrived to see Luka's progress (after Alice causes a ruckus breaking the Goddess Sword). She leaves once Luka showcases all the skills he's learned since their last encounter, telling him to get stronger.
  • Page 65537 for the San Ilia Library, being the lead monster in charge of guarding the Book of Four Spirits that Luka needs.
  • Kraken for Port Natalia, being in charge of the Marriage Trial that Meia asks Luka to undergo so she and her lover can get married. However, Karken mistakes Luka for being after the Blue Orb and attacks him on instinct.
  • Chrome for the Haunted Mansion, being the one behind the rumors of undead walking around due to using it as a lab to perform necromancy. As it turns out, a mysterious red-headed scientist named Promestein turns out to be backing Chrome's experiments, thus making her the Greater-Scope Villain of the arc.
  • Chimera Dryad for the Forest of Spirits, an unknown monster that has been reeking havoc on the forest, and is dangerous enough that Alice actually helps for the first time.
  • Sphinx for the Pyramid, being the monster Sara wishes to find so she can become capable of confessing to Granberia.
  • Lily for Witch Hunt Village, experimenting on the townspeople under claims of witchcraft, and turning the girls into Monsters. However, she, like Chrome, was backed by Promestein for her experiments.
  • Gnome for Safara Ruins, being the Earth Spirit Luka seeks to form a contract with, and acts as the final boss of Chapter 1.
  • Alma Elma again for Gran Noah coliseum under the name "Kyuba", being the final and most dangerous opponent in the coliseum for Luka. While she's still too strong for him, after upgrading Sylph's power and being able to match her, she surrender and leaves.
  • Yamata no Orochi for Yamatai Village, being an unruly monster that demands "sacrifices". With the men all useless due to pleasure she brings, Luka is forced to step up and stop her. Orochi ends up being too strong for Luka, despite Tamamo guiding him in using Gnome better, and Tamamo defeats and seals Orochi.
  • Queen Bee for the first half of the Plantsect Village, being in charge of the insect girls that have been attacking the plant girls in the Enemy Civil War. Priestess Alra and the Canaan Sisters for the second half, who wish to exterminate the weakened insects.
  • Erubetie for Undine's Spring, Another of the Four Heavenly Knights, who attacks Luka due to her hatred of humanity. Undine ends up having to save Luka from her so the two can form a contract, so Undine is the final boss.
  • Queen Ant for Grandgold, having been used as a means to control the Ant Girls Grandgold utilized and now instigating a rebellion for revenge. Ultimately she's convinced after the Grandgold King deeply apologizing and both Alice and Luka warn her about the Cycle of Revenge, thus allowing the monsters and humans to start living in actually companionship. Promestein once again turns out to have been the cause, as she was the one who gave Grangold the tech needed to enslave the Ant Girls and create artificial Monsters.
  • Succubus Chief and Succubus Witch for Succubus Village, plotting to use the Purple Sabbath to unseal the Legendary Succubus Lilith so she could lead the wandering Succubi to the "promised land". While Luka defeats both of them, Witch still succeeds in unsealing Lilith and Lilim. However, after defeating the Legendary Succubi, the men of Succubus Village willing allow themselves to be used as cattle so the Succubi can stay, leading to a highly awkward form of coexistence.
  • Cassandra for Lady's Village, a community of Monster Girls disguised as humans that eat any poor soul who wanders in. Cassandra herself ends up being far more vile than the usual Monster Girl, leading to Alice to step in and execute her for her crimes.
  • Salamander for Gold Volcano, being the last Spirit Luka needs to contract with. Granberia drops in after Salamander to challenge Luka once again as the final boss of the quest, being actually invested in a real challenge. Luka winds up getting his ass kicked despite his best attempt, but Alice is able to convince her to spare him for a final match at the Monster Lord's Castle.
  • Posidoness for the Northern Seas, acting as the guardian of the Silver Orb and tests Luka to see if he's worthy for it.
  • The Beelzebubs for the Ghost Ship, ancient fly monsters that were unknowingly unsealed by Captain Selene but kept on her ship. With the seal over the ship failing, Luka is forced to reseal them to protect the outside world. They end up being killed by Alice due to being too dangerous to be kept sealed.
  • Elf Queen and Fairy Queen for Fairy's Island, having kidnapped Sara as a means for them to reclaim their old home of Sabasa from humans. A now monsterized Sara ends up being the final boss of the quest due to the two Queens' ritual still going off.
  • Lazurus ends up being this for the Shrine/Ilias Kreuz HQ event, having had his men steal the Divine Wings' Egg to try and destroy it. He ends up being The Unfought, but he does reveal the truth over Luka's father's death, and Alice turns Lazurus to stone, which puts an end to Ilias Kreuz's actions.
  • Chimera Beast and Chimera Dryad Vore for Remina, two mysterious monsters found within the ruins of the lost city. They were created by Promestein to act as guardians to protect any secrets of Angelic involvement in the Slaughter of Remina.
  • Vampire and Behemoth for the Sealed Sinner's Prison, two powerful monsters that jump Luka. They have little barring on the overall plot.
  • The Four Heavenly Knights for the Monster Lord's Castle, being the strongest monsters Luka must defeat to have them stop harassing humanity. Alice then steps up as the final encounter afterwards due to still wishing to bring peace with her death, acting as the final boss of Chapter 2. Ilias steps in and is revealed to be the Big Bad of the entire game, but leaves and has her forces and Promestein's Chimera Army invade Monster Lord's Castle.
  • Archangel Ariel for the invasion at Monster Lord's Castle, being the first boss angelic opponent of Part 3.
• Authority in Name Only: Eventually, it seems that being baptized and appointed as a Hero means very little. Luka starts to realize this when a sensible innkeeper gives him a discount after he stands up to Granberia while refusing service to a baptized soldier who did nothing but cower from her like a coward.
• Author Appeal: Femdom and obviously for Monster Girls, but special mention should go to the sheer amount of tentacles and softcore vore.
• Awesome but Impractical: Quadruple Giga. Could OHKO any monster you meet till the end of Part 2, but takes 4 rounds to charge and fails if you're attacked in that time. The only times you can actually use it are either against completely helpless opponents or during scripted sequences.
• Babies Ever After: With the harpies, the kitsunes, and the slug girl if you lose to them-- among many others. Luka even remarks in some cases that it isn't so bad. The game's epilogue also makes it very clear that Alice is pregnant with her and Luka expecting twins.
• Battle Couple: Luka and Alice become this at the end of Part 2. In Part 3, this translate to Alice actually helping Luka fight. Due to being sealed however, she can only help for three turns. Once Alice undoes her seal, just before the the final Boss Rush, this restriction is removed. You will definitely need it.
• Battle Strip: When Lamia in the first chapter, Alma Elma and Tamamo in the second, go all-out in their final battles against Luka, they strip down to the nude. It's probably symbolic of them shedding everything tying them down and showing Luka what they really are capable of... although there might be other reasons. Tamamo puts them on again before using her final attack, though.
• Better Than a Bare Bulb: There is a lot of Lampshade Hanging about RPGs.
• Best Known for the Fanservice: Well, duh. While the game does have a complex and interesting plot, that isn't what most players are interested in, at least not on the first run-through.
• Big Bad: The Monster Lord. Or so Luka thinks at first. The true antagonist is Ilias, who wants to use Luka to exterminate all monsters, and decides to wipe out the world when he refuses.
• Big Bad Duumvirate: Ilias, Black Alice, and Promestein for the third chapter, their combined forces invading the world, but all have their own ambitions: Promestein wishes for mankind to surpass the gods, hence her "research", Black Alice seeks Ilias's power to rule over everything, while Ilias seeks to wipe the slate clean while using Black Alice and Promestein to achieve holy-dark fusion and surpass her longtime rival.
• Big Bad Friend: Alice is the current Monster Lord, despite being Luka's guide and companion. Downplayed as she's actually Good All Along, but is thinks the best way to bring peace between the races is through her own death, as well as atonement for screwing up her mother's own sacrifice. Goddess of Creation Ilias, who should obstinately be on Luka's side, is a more straightforward case, as behind her gentle façade lies a genocidal maniac wishing to exterminate Monsters and humans who don't follow her, and kickstarts an invasion from Heaven because Luka stands up to her for keeping tensions between races so strained.
• Big Eater: Alice.
• Bi the Way:
  • The Scorpion Girl seems just as content with raping girls as she is with raping guys.
  • Sara's in love with Granberia, but doesn't seem to have a problem giving Luka a blowjob as a reward for his help.
  • Surprisingly enough Granberia herself seems to be bi. Her duels with Alma always end in losses that steadily change to sex, Alma is the one who took Granberia's virginity, and it's pretty heavily implied she keeps challenging Alma to duels because she loves it. Luka has an opportunity to peek in on one of these duels not knowing what happens and it turns out to be Granberia's FORTY-THIRD loss in a row.
• Boobs of Steel: Inverted. The Imp has the largest (proportionate) bust among Monster Girls, but she's one of the weakest fighters.
• Blood Knight: Granberia. She is of the Thou Shalt Not Kill Muggles variety and doesn't kill anyone. She is also one of the few enemies that doesn't use "pleasure" attacks against Luka and actually fights him.
• Blood Splattered Warrior: Alice's state after fighting and killing dozens if not hundreds of chimera monsters. She even notes none of the blood on her is her own.
• Body Horror:
  • The Chimera Dryad and its later variant, the Chimera Dryad Vore. They look like human women but with plants sprouting from their flesh.
  • The Suck Vore is created from a human woman. We get to see the process in the recent patch.
• Bolivian Army Cliffhanger: The end of Part 2. Due to Luka refusing to kill Alice, Ilias has decided to wipe out humans and monsters alike. An army of chimeras and angels invades the Monster Lord's Castle. Included in the former category are the Next Dolls, four powerful chimeras designed specifically to counter the Four Heavenly Knights. The chapter ends with Luka and Alice charging at the seemingly insurmountable force.
• Bonus Boss: The Doppelganger, added in an update to the English version of the game and unlocked by completing the Monsterpedia.
  • Mirror Boss: As the name implies, said boss has all of Luka's abilities and will copy all attacks he chooses to use. With an exception...
• Boring but Practical: Plot-wise. The Enrikan Shirt looks like a mundane shirt but is really the best piece of protection gear in Iliasburg weapon shop. Most heroes (Including Luka, at first) ignore it in favor of something cooler.
• Boss Game: No mooks for Luka to fight, only unique opponents, although there's clearly a Sliding Scale of Villain Threat and no two bosses are equal.
• Boss Rush:
  • Against the Four Heavenly Knights at the end of Part 2 and this time, they're not holding back.
  • Repeated again at the climax of Part 3 with Eden, Promestein, three whole fights with Black Alice, and finally two battles with Ilias. And the last fight with Ilias is VERY long.
• Breaking the Fourth Wall: All the time. For example, when teaching Luka, Alice refers to the concept of SP and claims that the Flail Wildly skill is a "disgrace" that doesn't belong on his skill bar.
• Break the Cutie: Luka gets rather broken on many emotional fronts throughout the story.
• Brutal Honesty: Many examples, both straight and subverted.
  • In a succubus village:

Soldier A: I came to defend this village! Even if I'm left completely exhausted, I won't regret it! Alice: ...Damn pervert. Soldier B: I came here to have sex with a Succubus! If I'm left completely exhausted, that will be my reward! Alice: ...Damn honest.

• Calling Your Attacks: Both Luka and his enemies have dialogue for each attack.
• Calling Your Orgasms: ...and for each orgasm.
• The Cameo: Patch 2.05 adds Ika Musume. While she's a complete pushover, she does have higher-quality art and more rape scenes than most monsters.
• Cap: The fight with the cursed book pages consists of Page 17, Page 257, and Page 65537. They are all common powers of two, plus one.
• Cape Wings: The loli Vampire Girl has them, although she isn't particularly badass.
• Cast of Snowflakes: Every monster has a unique design, a unique personality, and lots of interesting dialogue, even though many of them are not seen again after Lukas fights them.
• Central Theme: "Roles", and how most people try and define it and therefore themselves, given the game's nature as a parody of JRPGs;
  • Luka's objective from the start is to be a "True Hero", holding a naïve dream that being baptized and defeating the Monster Lord will end the violence between humans and monsters. This immediately hits a snag when Alice ruins the baptism and she ends up forcing herself into Luka's journey (and pants), as Luka's view of heroism is revealed to be partly inspired by her mother's dying wish and his father's actions making the boy a pariah in his hometown. It's made clear Luka feels the need to be a "true hero" so he can "atone" for Marcellus's sins in forming Ilias Kreuz and attacks on monsters leading to his father's supposed death, but struggles with being a the definition of a "hero" as told by the teachings of Ilias and just being selfless, especially with the trauma of his past. Learning it was another human, not a monster, that did his father in breaks Luka, and takes a dual pep-talk/calming session from Alice (who also has a breakdown) to finally start making sense of it all. In the end, Luka finally decides to do the "right thing" by standing up to the Goddess who masterminded everything, no longer letting himself be swayed by others from a distance.
  • Alice's role as the Monster Lord. She mainly has a duty to her people, who are a race who needs humans in order to live, but the Monster Girl's own lecherous nature, centuries of fighting and religious dogma has forced her and her late mother into taking drastic actions to try and mend the peace. While Alice's mother had good intentions, as noted by Luka himself, her death, even without Alice's interference, would not have worked, and the fighting would have continued. Alice herself uses the title of Monster Lord as a mask to hide the guilt she feels over screwing up her mother's gambit, and believes the only way to force monsters into cooperating with humans is with her death, also inspired by her mother's plan. After being talked out of her sacrifice/suicide, she finally starts putting in work to help Luka in fighting back Heaven's invasion, even while sealed. Following the final battle, begins making strides to preserve the new peace.
  • Even Ilias turns out to be suffering from this; Ilias is not in fact a true Creator Deity, but a primordial spirit of holy energy. She only took herself up as "Goddess of Creation" in a desperate build for attention from the unfathomable time alone with nothing but her hated counterpart for company. Not wanting to relinquish her title humanity fostered upon her, she would perform many horrid deeds towards everyone to keep them in line. Luka even notes that she too was unable to escape humanity's expectations of what a "Goddess" should be, with her first and final act being to save Luka from overuse of his angel powers.
• Chandler's Law: Most of the conversations end with "and then a monster appeared."
• Chekhov's Gun: Many.
  • The massacre at Remina was apparently perpetrated by monsters against humans. Alice later reveals that the monsters cohabiting the town were also killed, leaving the exact details of the event a mystery. In the second chapter, Luka can visit the ruins of Remina and find some angel's feathers there, along with a few Chimera Beasts. If there's any doubt, if Luka doesn't kill Alice, Ilias will say she has to do it again. Angels invade the Monster Lord's Castle, and it's clear no ordinary monsters stand a chance against angels.
  • Luka's mother's ring, which is brought up multiple times and from which Alice feels no magic whatsoever. Tamamo points out in the second chapter that this kind of ring always emits some magic power, so it's odd that it doesn't.
  • The mystery behind Luka's powers that he can only use while unconscious.
  • The orbs, two of which can be found during the first chapter. Alice reacts to the discovery of the first with some concern but says it's OK so long as there's only one. It may be fortunate for Luka that she isn't with him when he receives the second. Their actual function involves some kind of "Holy Wings." In the second chapter, they're used to summon Garuda.
  • The scientist who comes to visit Chrome at the haunted mansion and Lily at the witch mansion. Part 2 reveals that she's Promestein, The Dragon to Ilias.
  • How could Tamamo possibly know a spell that temporarily reverses the effect of the seal put on Alice? The seal hasn't been up long enough to research it that intensely and its only other use in history was to seal Alipheese the First and the original monsters, the Six Ancestors. The only way Tamamo could possibly know enough about the seal to reverse it briefly is--OH SHIT.
• Chronic Hero Syndrome: Luka can't help but reach out to people in need, even if it's a detour from his main quest and exposes him to unneeded danger. Alice frequently call him out on his behavior. There's more to it than simply him being a dawdling do-gooder though.
• Contractual Genre Blindness: Luka is more often this than Dangerously Genre Savvy. He knows that acting like an Idiot Hero is well... idiotic, but it's often the right thing to do!
• Controllable Helplessness: Take a hit from certain moves, and you can't get free no matter how many times you tell Luka to struggle.
• Cool and Unusual Punishment:
  • Luka can use Angel Halo to "seal" Monsters, taking away their power and trapping them in a harmless form. For example, Earthworm Girl is turned into a regular earthworm, Elf is shrunk to doll size, etc. Alice claims this is temporary, and they can restore themselves eventually, hopefully learning not to menace humans in the process.
  • Luka punishes the four bandits by making them apologize to the citizens of Iliasburg and then giving them community service work, although Vampire Girl seems to get into some mischief doing so, hypnotizing customers in the Tool Shop into spending too much.
• Corrupt the Cutie: Many, many Monsters do this to Luka if they get their hands on him.
  • Can even happen to the PLAYER.
  • Sara in part 2, as a result of being turned into a succubus. She regains her mind after being defeated, but still abandons the royal family to follow Granberia.
• Crapsack World: Nevermind monster girls raping every man in their sight, the local religion perpetuates the human-monster conflict, and there's an extremist terrorist faction aimed at extermination of even innocent monsters. Not helped at all the the deity humanity worships is secretly plotting behind the scenes to recreate everything.
• Creepy Child: The first impression you will get from Chrome, and It Got Worse. Black Alice is just as bad.
• Creepy Doll: The Cursed Doll in the haunted house. As well as Gnome's Mud Dolls.
• Crossover: Several characters of the game appear in two collaboration events in Monster Musume TD, a Tower Defense Gacha Game as recruitable characters (except for Luka). The event introduces Alice, Slime Girl, Kitsune, Imp, Granberia, Tamomo, Alma Elma, and Erubetie. Adramelech serves as the final boss of the first crossover.
• Crucified Hero Shot: The Trinities rape Luka while forcing his body into this pose.
• Crystal Dragon Jesus: The religion that worships Ilias.
• Curb Stomp Battle:
  • Whenever Luka falls asleep in battle, he unleashes a mysterious power that allows him to easily defeat his opponent.
  • Picking a fight with Alice or Tamamo, prior to the end of Part 2, will grant Luka a quick defeat.
• Cute and Psycho: Cupid from the end of the second chapter, has a full dose of moe, a playful smile, and has way too much fun killing monsters.
• Cute Monster Girl: The entire game revolves around them. Your Mileage May Vary on the "cute" part for many of them. Some are cute, some are sexy, some are so-so and some are downright Nightmare Fuel.
• Cycle of Revenge: A recurring element in the conflicts throughout the land. Both humans and monsters alike have their reasons to lash back at their oppressors, and Luka has to intervene to break apart the vicious cycle they would trap themselves in.
• Deconstruction: Takes every cliche about role-playing games and their hentai variants, lampshades, and mocks every one of them, and then takes them apart and shows how it would really work if those cliches were actually played for story drama, all the time being very aware of how it still plays those cliches straight and often pokes fun at itself.
• Defend Command: Required to avoid certain telegraphed attacks. Notably, Luka initially only uses it to reduce damage before Alice teaches him to utilize the stance in an evasive manner.
• Determinator: During the final battle with Ilias, Granberia absolutely REFUSES to retreat or allow herself to collapse. Even long after she should have withdrawn she's ignoring Luka and Alice's begging her to withdraw, continues to use Vaporizing Rebellion Sword relentlessly, and is taking hit after hit after hit from a supercharged Ilias. She doesn't stop until she passes out from being a hair away from dying and Micaela arrives to smack Ilias around a little before escaping with Granberia in tow. Holy. Fucking. Shit.
• Did You Just Flip Off Cthulhu: Luka, after refusing to kill Alice and hearing Ilias's arguments, mostly consisting of invoking an Omniscient Morality License, not tells her, the goddess that everyone worships, that she's the real obstacle to peace, but takes a swing at her with his sword and after dodging her Bolt Of Divine Retribution, taunts her and says she's not used to anybody still standing after she tries to smite them.
• Disc One Final Boss:
  • Gnome, the Spirit of Earth, is the final boss of Part One.
  • Monster Lord Alice acts as the final boss of Part Two.
• Disc One Final Dungeon:
  • Safar Ruins, resting place of Gnome, is the final area in Part One.
  • You reach the Monster Lord's Castle at the end of the second game in the trilogy.
• The Ditz:
  • The Kraken at the bottom of the South Sea Temple. Unlike most sea creatures she's pretty friendly, but has a tendency to jump to conclusions, leading to a boss battle. Her North Sea counterpart, Poseidoness, is the same.
  • Sylph is quite an airhead too.
• Does Not Like Spam: The point of baptism is to make the recipient's semen taste terrible to monsters. Although when you think about it, that likely means a captured Hero would be killed once his captor realized this.
• Does Not Know Her Own Strength: It is all too easy for Ilias to accidentally squish your level one arse into a paste with her little finger in the tutorial if you don't tell her not to.
• Double Standard Rape (Female on Male): You wouldn't be playing it otherwise. In the first chapter alone, Alice forces herself on Luka three times (each increasingly intimate), although whether Luka actually has a problem with it remains to be seen. Near the end of Part 2, they finally have sex. It's still presented as rape.
• Dream Sequence: The game begins like this, serving as a brief introduction to the story's basic premise. Luka has several more of these throughout most of the first two chapters.
• Dull Surprise: Alice might as well be wearing a t-shirt with the words "I am the Monster Lord" printed on it, but Luka doesn't seem to get the hint and she doesn't come out and say it until late in the game, likely long after the player has figured it out.
• Earn You Happy Ending: After a long, grueling battle against first his friend and love Alice and then a war against Heaven itself, Luka finally achieves the coexistence he'd been striving for since the start of the game. He and Alice even get hooked up following the last battle and are excepting twins.
• Egopolis: The southernmost continent is named after Ilias; towns there include Ilias Village, Iliasburg, and Iliasport. Alice is (for obvious reasons) annoyed at how slavishly devoted humans are to Ilias.
• Elemental Powers: The elemental spirits and the Four Heavenly Knights. The bandits go for the theme but don't quite pull it off.
  • Blow You Away: Sylph, the great spirit of wind, and Alma Elma, the Succubus of the Heavenly Knights.
  • Dishing Out Dirt: Gnome, the great spirit of earth, and Tamamo, the Kitsune of the Heavenly Knights.
  • Making A Splash: Undine, the great spirit of water, and Erubetie, the Slime of the Heavenly Knights.
  • Playing with Fire: Salamander, the great spirit of fire, and Granberia, the Dragon of the Heavenly Knights.
• Engagement Challenge: Many monster races have some sort of requirement before marriage can happen. Luka ends up assisting in two different ones, one for a Mermaid and her husband, and later Sara and Granberia.
  • After the reign of Alice VIII, Monster Lords are only allowed to marry a man stronger than themselves. Luka qualifies after mastering the power of the four spirits.
• Enemy Civil War: In Plansect Village, there is a group of Insect Girls and a group of Plant Girls at odds with each other - naturally, Luka (the Dogged Nice Guy intent on befriending the "enemy") has to be the one to convince them to make peace. It doesn't work, as only crippling the Insects has the Plants continue killing the losers. Luka then needs to take down the Plants he just helped to bring an end to the conflict, where the pacifists on both sides finally come out and being building true peace.
• Even the Girls Want Her: Granberia, unbeknownst to her. Well, Alma Elma wants her, but she's oblivious to Sara's affection for her.
• Everything Trying to Rape You: Every enemy in the game rapes Luka on defeating him. It is the tagline of the game, after all. The vast majority of them try to rape him during battle as well.
• Exact Words: After Alice (who is in disguise) cruelly insults the King of San Ilia and destroys the Goddess Sword, causing the King to go into an unresponsive state of shock, the palace guards arrive and naturally demand to know what happens. Luka tells them, quite simply, that the Monster Lord appeared and attacked him - not a lie, obviously, although he simply leaves out the fact that the woman right beside him is the Monster Lord. He can do this again when Alice starts a fire from accidently burning a potato in the San Ilia Library, saying the Monster Lord broke in and set the library on fire.

Luka: A true hero always speaks the (half) truth!

• Exclusively Evil: Deconstructed. The human population as a whole firmly believes that all monsters are evil, but they're as much victim as villains, and while they're most certainly rapists, they need human men to reproduce, and Ilias' first commandment forbids sex with monsters. Other than the rape part, monsters' alignment spans the gamut, with many vile monsters, many kind-hearted ones, and many in the middle, and many monsters (especially succubi) are quite happy to find compromises that allow them to meet consenting partners.
• Expecting Someone Taller:
  • An early side-quest involves defeating a group of Monster Girl bandits that includes a vampire and a dragon. All of them are kids. The Dragon is the only one that can potentially give Luka trouble, and even she's easy.
  • Another example is Tamamo. After his difficult battle against the imposing Nanabi, Luka is surprised to see that Nanabi's superior looks like a cute little girl. Though for the latter, she is far more dangerous she appears, and her reasons as to why she looks so small.
• Explosive Breeder: Harpies are explicitly stated to be an example. But they got nothing on the Beelzebubs. If the 3 sealed on Selene's ship had broken free, they apparently would have overrun the entire world in short order.
• Fake Difficulty: Prominent in the first game, irritatingly common in the second. Notably, in some battles of Part 2, no matter how cautious the player plays, your survival hinges on Sylph's dodge buff - which triggers completely at random. Thankfully this was cut back severely for chapter 3. There are still some random elements in play, but Serene Mind and Fallen Angel Dance are much more reliable than they were before.
• Fake Ultimate Hero: Many baptized heroes are in for-profit and not being so brave. Many characters acknowledge this.
  • Luka is repeatedly called this by Alice. Ironically, he's more heroic than any H-Game hero can be.
• Fallen Hero/The Paragon Always Rebels: Deconstructed with Luka. It runs in his family. Luka, while capable of being as perverted as any other man in the setting, still has a courageous heart and wants to do what he thinks is the morally right thing to do. When the "right thing" ends up going back on his Goddess's teaching and spares the Monster Lord, Ilias decides to invade the world in response. Luka seems to get this from his mom Lucifina, who also rebelled against Heaven for the horrid things Ilias did for the sake of control.
• Fan Disservice: Suffice to say, many of Luka's death scenes aren't very arousing, even for players who are into hentai, and we can leave it at that.
• Fan Nickname: Some have taken to call Luka "Lukafer". Considering his mother is named Lucifina, that's not far off.
• Fan Translation: This could almost be considered an adaptation, as the translator also tried his best to fix issues with saving the game on non-Japanese systems.
• The Final Temptation: The Epilogue in a nutshell; as Luka interacts with the world following Ilias's demise and the destruction of Heaven, he suddenly finds himself being flirted heavily by just about everyone, even though by this point, Luka and Alice are already a couple. Luka must turn them all down, least he gets a bad ending where he's forced into a relationship with said girl. After reaching Monster Lord's Castle, Tamamo reveals the whole thing was a test for him to earn Alice's hand in marriage.
• Foreshadowing:
  • Fairies can only be seen by those with weak faith in Ilias. Luka meets several, though there may be other forces at play.
  • Early on, Luka learns his healing Meditation when Alice jokes about it. She's taken aback by it, stating that this is definitely not normal and it would take the likes of a fallen angel to be able to do that. Though this is played as a one-off gag, Luka truly has some powers of a fallen angel unbeknownst to him at the time.
• Four Is Death: The Four Heavenly Knights/Shitenno. They serve as the Monster Lord's elite guard and enforcers, and all influence the plot in some way. They are:
  • Granberia of Fire; A dragonkin and swordswoman with an honorable personality. She serves as the most Recurring Boss out of the group, wanting to fight Luka at his full strength.
  • Alma Elma of Wind; The playful Queen Succubus who enjoys doing her own thing while still loyal. The second most Recurring Boss behind Granberia, she has a tendency to suddenly forfeit battles due to secretly being capable of martial arts, but distances herself from it due to it being unfitting of her nature.
  • Tamamo no Mae of Earth; The (cheekily) loyal Kitsune Queen who is extremely loyal to the Monster Lord. Despite her young appearance, she's quite powerful, yet also acts as a Stealth Mentor for Luka as well. As it turns out, Tamamo is in fact the Ancestor of Beasts, but left weakened and much nicer due to being sealed.
  • Erubetie of Water; The seemingly stoic and reclusive Slime Queen who in truth holds an irrational hatred over humanity due to their pollution of water and endangerment of the slime species. Out of the whole group, Erubetie is the only one who fights to kill on sight.
• Fourth Wall Observer: A few members of the main cast and recurring characters.
  • Amira the Unfortunate Lamia, and by extension Luka.

Luka: Why is she posing like that? Amira: I don't have a choice. I only have this one picture. Also, in this position, I can keep my eye on the 'skip' button. Luka: Hey! Don't talk about your own CG!

• • Alice ridicules the character for maintaining a useless technique on his skill bar, makes reference to SP, and frequently explains the features of the interface panel.
  • There's a scholar in San Illia who mentions that he's found a passage in a book stating that anyone who annoys Illias with repeated 'Evaluation Meetings' will be punished. Of course, he has no idea what that means, so it's more like he's just noticed the Fourth Wall.
  • Ilias is also aware of the Fourth Wall.

Ilias: Remember Luka, I am always watching over you, even on the Status Screen!

• Gameplay and Story Segregation:
  • In cutscenes, Luka can repeatedly take down enemies in one hit. In actual gameplay, this is only possible on EX difficulty or against the Imp.
  • Similarly, SP is never a concern in cutscenes. The biggest offender is the scripted part of the Nanabi fight, where Luka uses three skills with costs of 4, 6, and 8 SP, at a level where he only has a maximum of 3 SP.
  • The powers granted by the Four Spirits are far more powerful in their descriptions than in gameplay. Notably, from the second level on, Sylph should make you too fast for 99% of enemies to hit, but her evasion maxes out at a 50% chance (and even that is only against plant monsters).
• Ghostly Goals: 'Selena' is in fact Captain Selene herself, a ghost kept in the world due to her regrets in unsealing the Beelzebubs, and is physical enough to be capable of interacting with others and even having sex with them. She wishes for someone to deal with the Beelzebubs, as the seal she made on them is weakening. While she initially passes on after defeating them, Luka finds her back when Heaven invades the world, fighting to protect Gold Port. When you meet her during the epilogue, she admits she's too tired to pass on again. Luka promises to help her find a way for her to pass on (having sex leads to a bad ending.)
• Generation Xerox:
  • Luka is a hero like his father Marcellus was. Both of them sought coexistence between humans and monsters and fought a Monster Lord who was planning to die as a scapegoat. It's later revealed that both of them are also descended from the legendary hero Heinrich, who had the same motivation and also fought a Monster Lord (though unlike the former two, he fought the genuinely evil Black Alice). Luka even uses the Four Spirits as Heinrich did. However, Luka ultimately chooses not to kill the Monster Lord of his time.
  • Alice to her mother, Alice XV. They both also wanted coexistence between humans and monsters. Alice XV allowed a group of heroes to kill her, intending to act as a scapegoat, but Alice ruined this plan by killing some of the heroes in revenge. To atone for this, Alice plans to sacrifice herself in the exact same manner, but Luka fortunately refuses to go through with it.
• God Is Evil: Ilias. She created the current state of the world because of her enmity with her counterpart the Dark Goddess Alipheese, and tries to turn Luka into an obedient weapon to ensure the eradication of Monsterkind just to spite the already sealed Dark Goddess. When Luka stands up to her? Decides to punish the entire world by having her angels attack on mass, leading to many causalities, even thoses of her own followers. And as it turns out, she was plotting to become even stronger by using Black Alice as a means to achieve holy-dark fusion and rule over everything. Though in death she she realizes what sort of monster she was and saves Luka's body from being petrified by overuse of his angel lineage powers, citing that before dying she wanted to truly act like the Goddess she claimed and do some genuine good.
• Gone Horribly Right: While comforting each other, Luka tells Alice she should "inherit" her mother's will, just as Luka decides to do with his father after learn both sought to bring peace between the two races. Unfortunately, Alice, still racked with guilt over what she did, opts to do the same thing Alice XV did and die in combat so tensions between the two can cease. Luka needs to spare Alice to have her to stop.
• Good Is Not Dumb: Luka, despite Alice's first impression. He's only acting like a bigger klutz then he actually is due to the belief that heroes are meant to be naïve dolts. Mainly due to dealing with his village's hatred of him thanks to his father.
• Good Thing You Can Heal: The skill you use most throughout the game is Meditation, which regenerates half your health.
• Gotta Catch Them All: Initially Parodied with the three Jewels needed to wield the Goddess Sword, but Alice breaks the sword to prove it's ineffectiveness. The real goal of the first two parts are to find and make contracts with the Four Spirits, elemental beings that can empower their user. After that, you need to find the Six Orbs to unseal the Divine Wings and reach Hellgondo, where the Monster Lord's Castle resides. You can still try and claim the three Jewels and earn the Hero's Proof in a very difficult sidequest... but won't get much else besides an achivement.
• Grey And Gray Morality: On the one hand, many of the monsters really are dangerous, ranging from the simply jerkass to Always Chaotic Evil beings like the Ropers. On the other, Ilias's religion is driving many species to extinction, and even docile monsters like Mermaids are the target of pro-Ilias terrorists.
• Guide Dang It: Some of the fights are ridiculously difficult, or even luck-based on the higher difficulties. This is especially frustrating with certain enemies who have instant-win attacks that you barely get a warning for.
  • The second Granberia fight. To win, you have to use three out of five currently available special attacks, and you have just about enough time to build up enough SP to use them. And it's not entirely clear which ones you are meant to use. (To be honest, though, moderately obvious which specials you are supposed to use since the three you're supposed to use are the only ones that actually cause damage).
  • Any bind of the "attack to escape" variety. There's little to no indication that it will be different than the regular "struggle to break free" kind unless you pay incredible attention to detail (either the monster's body type or the text itself).
  • Then again, Ilias provides a pretty good guide after you lose any battle for the first time.
• Heel Face Turn: Lazurus and Chrome by the end of the game, though in truth more than half of the monsters that were antagonists switch sides by the end.
• H-Game POV Character: Type I for Luka. Descends into a Type II in the sequel.
• Half-Human Hybrid: Averted. Most children between monster girls and human males are monster girls, though a human male may rarely be born. There is also a chance that the human male may inherit his mother's ability to use magic.
  • All current members of the royal family of Sabasa are descended from the Sphinx.
  • Luka is a half-human half-angel, allowing them to use holy power.
• Harder Than Hard: Hell difficulty. Only accessible through the Encyclopedia, and the outcome is mostly based on pure luck.
• Haunted House: The Milan Mansion, also known as the Haunted Mansion, is located north of San Ilia. It's where Chrome lives with Frederika and numerous other undead monsters such as Ghost Girls, Cursed Dolls, and Zombie Girls.
• Have a Nice Death: Ilias will always provide helpful advice whenever you get a bad end, but, humorously, as time goes on, she becomes more and more suspicious that you're losing on purpose, and her comments only get funnier.
• Helping Would Be Killstealing: Alice tends to make herself scarce whenever a fight starts. Justified, as she is the Monster Lord and feels it would be awkward if her subjects saw her with a human. There are three encounters where she directly intervenes. The first is telling Granberia to leave during the "fight" in Iliasburg, a rather unsubtle hint as to who she is. The second, after her identity is revealed, is with Cassandra, whom she decides to execute for being too evil and breaking the taboo on eating humans to live. The third, dealing with the three Beelzebubs, due to their danger and wickedness, and end up being killed.
• Heroic Sacrifice:
  • Alice's mother, the previous Monster Lord. When heroes approached the castle, she went out alone to meet them, knowing that they would kill her, but hoping that they'd spread her final message of peace to the world. It almost worked. But Alice had issues with that.
  • Again with Alice herself in a deliberate reenactment at the end of Part 2, this time with Luka as the hero. More of a Self-Sacrifice Scheme when it's revealed that she's been carrying the baggage of her mother's death with her all along. Luka points out that it's more of a Senseless Sacrifice, since during their travels together, they've seen plenty of evidence that the killing will only increase afterward.
  • Played straight by the pirate queen Selene. After opening a certain box and unleashing a trio of voracious fly demons, she threw up a barrier around her ship, sealing herself, her crew, and the demons within. Alice remarks that given the Beelzebub monster's high reproduction rate, this act in all likelihood saved the world.
  • Lazarus in Part 3, despite already on death's door after being attacked by the Trooperoids, makes an unofficial contract with Salamander and (quite literally) goes out blazing.
• Hey, You: Alice initially addresses Luka with 'kisama'. This is either archaic and very polite or incredibly disrespectful and offensive. Given Alice's personality, it could be either one (but more likely the latter).
  • In the dub version she instead calls him an "idiot", so yes, probably the latter.
• Hopeless Boss Fight:
  • Alice and Tamamo can be fought long before Luka is powerful enough to challenge them, which will lead to him being defeated by their first attack.
  • Double Subverted with the Sphinx - it is possible to reduce her HP to 0, but doing so will cause her to revive and kill Luka with a unique move. An achievement awaits those who manage this.
  • The initial fights against the Four Heavenly Knights always seem hopeless and you usually can't defeat them normally.
• Honor Before Reason: The first time Granberia appears, Luka realizes quickly that trying to fight her is suicide; he does so because he doesn't want to be seen as a coward. Granberia actually seems a little impressed by this - the likely reason she doesn't smash him flat right then and there. This can be a problem later on though once Tamamo "reveals" Alice is in fact the Monster Lord, and he can opt to attack her later on when given the chance. Suffice to say, it leads to a quick death.
• Horny Devils: It comes as little surprise (for a game like this) that Succubi are a whole class of enemies. Oddly for video games, their Queen is a boss you encounter and fight before you encounter any others.
• Hospitality for Heroes: After they convince Granberia to leave Iliasburg in peace, the innkeeper gives Luka and Alice the "Hero Rate", a luxurious room with gourmet food for cheap. Unfortunately, Alice gets a little drunk and forces herself upon Luka afterward.
• How Unscientific: Alice repeatedly says that things like ghosts are superstitions and not real. Hearing that from the Monster Lord makes it only more ridiculous. Then we find out she is strikingly scared of ghosts.
• Human Sacrifice: Non-lethal example (such as it is) in Yamato no Orochi demands a male Virgin Sacrifice from the citizens of Yamatai Village every year - unique in that there is no shortage of volunteers, each of the young men all making the More Expendable Than You argument to the others. (Alice calls them a bunch of idiots.) Of course, Alice and Tamamo convince Luka into volunteering in order to pull an I Surrender, Suckers trick.
  • Something of a Genius Bonus here, as the original Yamato no Orochi was male and demanded female virgins (though it devoured them) until Susanoo's wife was chosen as the sacrifice, prompting Susanoo to confront and slay the beast.
• I Don't Like the Sound of That Place: Hellgondo, the northernmost island on the world map. The Monster Lord's palace is there, and "the temperature there is extreme, an unsuitable place for humans." However, Monsters live there just fine.
• Idiot Hero: Luka. It's mostly due to a lack of worldly knowledge, however.
  • Hidden Depths: Luka turns out to be more of a Knight In Sour Armor that is trying to atone for his father's creation of the Well-Intentioned Extremist Terrorist group Ilias Kreuz.
• Ignorant About Fire: At the end of the fight against Page 65537, she actually manages to resist Angel Halo's seal, returning to normal at full HP while Luka is still weak. Immediately after gloating that the only thing that could defeat her, fire, is something Luka doesn't have, a wild fire started by Alice attempting to cook potatoes suddenly burns 65537.

Page 65537: No, this flame! I can't maintain my body! Lord! I'm sorry to fail you! (sealed) Luka: ...Your Lord is what caused the fire.

• I Love The Dead: Not by choice. Lose to any of the undead enemies in the game and you are (naturally) raped; lose to Frederika and you're locked in a dark room with her for a full year, being forcefully kept alive and raped every second of every day for eternity. Although with the Zombie girls, Luka quickly begins to enjoy the fact that there are many of them.
• Ineffectual Sympathetic Villain:
  • The Imp. The only way Luka could possibly lose to this cowardly weakling is if the player is dumb enough to fall for her "bribe" attempt.
  • The four bandits (Goblin, Tiny Lamia, Vampire, and Dragon Pup) talk and act tough, but they are truly just children. Even hurting them a little causes them to start crying and run away. They are a little more dangerous in chapter 3 when you have to fight all four at once.
• It Only Works Once: In order to defeat the first enemy of the game, Slime Girl, Luka has to use the Flail Wildly combat option. While this option is available up until the Forest of Spirits, it won't work on anyone else. Might be because it's not an attack, but Exactly What It Says on the Tin. Slime Girl got chased off because he nicked her, while the following monsters are all very much more capable of dealing with such an "attack". Eventually gets replaced with stronger skills.
• It Was with You All Along:
  • Alice is the Monster Lord. However, this is revealed a lot earlier than one would expect, and she wasn't being very subtle about it. The only reason Luka learns is thanks to Tamamo accidently.
  • Likewise, Sara the knight with a crush on Granberia is the "kidnapped" princess of Sabasa, having just snuck out so she could become worthy of her crush.
  • Yet again in part 2 with the ghost of Selene, who pretends to be her descendant instead until the Beelzebubs are defeated.
  • Once more in part 3 with Micaela, who is in fact the mayor of Enrika, and ends up having the most plot critical information for Luka.
• Jail Bait: Inverted, as the game rather adamantly emphasizes that while Luka looks like a youthful teenager, he is, indeed, an adult.
• Joke Item: The Grilled Starfish you buy from a mermaid in Port Natalia has no use itself, being so bad that even Alice will not eat it. However...
  • Lethal Joke Item: If Luka tells said mermaid how bad it is, she decides to try selling something else, and the next time you meet her, she offers Grilled Sea Anemone; while also not fit for human consumption, this item is key to getting past the Nekomata Girl without a fight, which in turn gains him the Nekomata's Bell, which is needed for the Hero's Proof sidequest and achievement.
• Joke Character: Amiria the Unfortunate Lamia is a reverse lamia (basically human legs and a snake torso and head), whose presence has Luka opt to just kill her upon first meeting. She's the game's Fourth Wall Breaking character who acts as an informant for Luka about where he needs to go, and no matter how many times she dies, comes back no worse for wear.
  • Lethal Joke Character: She proves to be vital several times during the game, such as being the aforementioned informant, and later helps Luka and Alice hatch the Divine Wings to reach the Monster Lord's Castle. During Heaven's invasion on the world, she and her fellow Unfortunate Monsters will break a curse over Succubus Village by being so unattractive.
• Karmic Death: Cassandra. The monster who devoured hundreds of men and even her own daughter is devoured by her own body when Alice turns her attack against her. Luka is immobilized during this and thus not able to use his usual merciful methods.
• Kid Hero: The Four Bandits, post Heel Face Turn.
• Kleptomaniac Hero: Discussed. One of the benefits of being a hero blessed by Ilias is the ability to go into homes and take stuff.

Luka: Being a Hero has a lot of perks, you know. You get the respect of the people, cheap rates at inns, and you can even walk into people's houses and take stuff! Alice: Walk into people's houses and take things...? Are you a thief or something? Luka: There have been some who have abused that privilege. I don't think someone like that is a true hero, though.

• Leaning on the Fourth Wall: This sort of happens when you encounter Slime Girl, the first enemy. You'll cut away to a scene where Illias gives him instruction on how to fight; when this is done and Slime Girl appears again, she asks why you've been "daydreaming" the whole time.
• Legal Jailbait: Many of the monsters are very young-looking but are Older Than They Look. Most prominently, Tamamo.
• Level Drain: Various succubi can do this if they manage to pin you down. An achievement exists for letting your Level be drained to 1.
• Light Is Not Good/Light Is Good: Depends on your opinion of Ilias. The end of Part 2 answers that question. It's definitely not good.
• Loophole Abuse:
  • Alice wants to have sex with Luka, but even by this point, Luka refuses to have sex with a monster. So Alice turns herself into a human and rapes him.
  • Chrome promises to never experiment with corpses again, so she begins researching ghosts instead.
• Low-Level Run: Acquiring the "Only remembered Amira" achievement requires playing through the whole game without taking on any of the sidequests along the way. This means a lot of missed experience for Luka, resulting in stats that are lower than expected for each point in the game. However, important skills that are taught during said sidequests, like upgrading Sylph at Grand Noah's Colosseum, will be taught by Alice instead.
• Magitek: Used in Grangold Castle. Provided by Promestein.
• Mad Scientist: Chrome, Lily, the four Seekers of Truth.
• The Many Deaths of You: No rape scene is the same. Every single monster girl has different plans for you, with some dragging you off as a slave (or even a husband!) rather than raping you to death/eating you.
  • Also, you can get a game over within two choices, and about five lines. How? Ignore a Goddess.
  • Several monsters have two rape scenes, as well. A few have three.
  • It's possible to die three times before actually fighting a monster.
  • Five monsters - Medusa, Crab Girl, Alma Elma, Nekomata, and Queen Elf - will actually let Luka go after having their way with him, but this is always a form of Cruel Mercy that causes a Nonstandard Game Over.
  • As revealed in Paradox, every rape scene and Evaluation turns out to be canon, as Luka was being reset back in time because Ilias was trying to make sure he would grow into someone capable of slaying the Monster Lord.
• Mayfly-December Romance: Any relationship between a monster and a human is this unless the monster chooses to seal herself and become a human.
  • This is Played for Drama with the relationship between the first king of Sabasa and The Sphinx. She could have turned him into a monster, but he refused. She could have sealed herself into a human and died with him, but she was scared of death and that any memory of him would be gone from this world. So she took a third option and decided to live without him.
  • Fridge Logic: But if all monsters are immortal or even only extremely long-lived, why is the harpy village depopulation issue so serious? It seemed like they needed children then and there or they would go extinct, which implies the death rate had exceeded the birth rate. Unless only the more powerful monsters like Alice and the Sphinx are immortal, in which case it makes more sense.
• Medium Awareness: Both Ilias and Alice seem to know what HP and SP are, and know about the life bars and combat options, referencing them to show the player - via Luka - in tutorials. Luka also refers to Granberia as an "end game boss" the first time they meet, stating it's unfair he'd have to fight her now.
• Mercy Rewarded: The whole plot kicks off after Luka finds Alice wounded and dying in the forest; if he gives her aid, Alice is at first puzzled that he didn't finish her off while she was unconscious. When she hears about his dreams of peaceful coexistence, she is intrigued, and, well, it just gets weirder from there.
• Mermaid Problem: Does not apply; every girl is fully functional, although their sexual organs are often somewhat different from those of a human. Not that anyone cares. The more human-looking monsters, like lamias, are pretty much humans with monster bits tacked on, so it makes sense for them to be compatible with humans.
• Moe: The Four Bandits are trying very hard to convince Luka that they're nefarious villains, but they're just too cute to do so.
• Monster Lord: Referred to by this name specifically. The original Japanese technically translates to "Demon King". They are, naturally, the ruler of Monsterkind and defeating them is Luka's goal under the belief they are forcing monsters to act cruel.
• Monster Progenitor: Alice I, the goddess of darkness and the creator of all other monsters. She used the gene-altering properties of dark energy to modify living organisms into the Six Ancestors, who in turn gave rise to six lineages of monsters (and thus qualify for this trope themselves). This trope was the subject of much envy for Ilias, who was better at manipulating souls instead. As a result, many of Ilias's angels were more like morbid works of arts compared to the more diverse Monster Girls.
• Monster Town:
  • Lady's Village is secretly this, being a town of human eating Monster Girls.
  • Hellgondo is actually a Monster Municipality, with the Monster Lord's palace and several towns populated solely by Monster Girls.
• Mood Whiplash:
  • The Haunted House subquest swings back and forth between the horrors of Chrome's animated dead, and funny moments of Alice being scared of ghosts.
  • The good ending of chapter 2 is initially a Crowning Moment of Awesome with Luka declaring Ilias as the true enemy of humanity and monster, then effortlessly dodging her Bolt Of Divine Retribution. Then it's followed by a Wham! Episode.
• Ms. Fanservice: Alice, naturally. She has a stonking great rack, a very shapely form, and wears very little in her human form. As well as badass tattoos. She also regularly "milks" Luka. Not that she wears much more in her monster girl form either, and of course a flower girl asks if she and Alice work in the same profession.
• Multi Boobage: Less than you might expect, although the Tarantula girl does have 3 pairs of breasts on the underside of her spider body, as well as the pair on her human torso.
  • The Cerberus in part 2 has 3 pairs of breasts to go with her 3 heads. She also has even more nipples below them.
  • Taken to its logical extreme by the Beelzebubs, whose abdomens are covered in many pairs of giant breasts.
  • The Chimera Beasts have 2 pairs on their undersides.
• Multiple Endings:
  • Part 2 has 3 possible endings, only one of which allows you to progress to the next part. You can kill Alice to fulfill your duty as the Chosen One and hook up with Ilias, lose to Alice and be sealed away for eternity while being raped by her, or spare Alice, causing Ilias to turn against you and trigger part 3.
  • Part 3 has many more possible endings. When you encounter various characters during your trip around the world, you can choose to fall for their (very obvious) tricks and be imprisoned and raped by them. Or {{spoiler|you can ignore them all and make it all the way to the Monster Lord's Castle, where Alice rapes Luka for three days to become pregnant.
• Mysterious Backer: Alice, for a while, at least. In the first chapter, she gives little reason as to why she'd come with him - and mooch his food - all while heavily implying she doesn't like him at all. She gives her reasons later.
• Mystical Plague: Word of God said that the plague that killed Lucifina and most of the original inhabitants of Iliasville was a magical disease created by the Goddess Ilias to force Lucifina to stop being human and return to her side.

N-Z

• Noble Demon: Granberia. She seems to avoid lethal attacks against unworthy opponents and despises those who attack the weak. In fact, she actually helps during some of the battles, in that the only way Luka can beat her is if he uses the moves she tells him to use.
• Non-Indicative Name: The Four Heavenly Knights serve the Monster Lord, not Ilias, as the name implies. Then again, shitennō is a Buddist term that was adopted for the "Elite Four" trope, so that's probably why.
  • Also, Angel Halo is an Obviously Evil Impossibly Cool Weapon, called so because it's forged from 666 angels fused together. And as an obvious Shout Out to Mobile Suit Victory Gundam.
  • Also, the Suck Vore's defeat scene isn't actually a vore scene. No, seriously.
• Non-Lethal KO: Luka doesn't actually kill monsters; his Angel Halo sword seals their power and transforms them into a harmless form, if the opposing side doesn't surrender first. Even before he gains this weapon, he chases the first few monsters away with mundane methods.
• Non-Malicious Monster: While some Monster Girls are incredibly evil (mostly bosses), many are more victims than villains, their actions are done out of their urge to reproduce and fear of extinction. If humans didn't hate them so much, all the rapes and kidnappings could have been avoided.
• Non-Mammal Mammaries: Plants, spiders, and books pretty much all have breasts.
• Nonstandard Game Over: There are a few.
  • Pissing off Ilias can kill you in three different ways before you even enter combat (one of them within a minute of starting the game).
  • Running away from Granberia makes Luka give up on his quest.
  • Not obtaining Poseidon's Bell from Tamamo strands Luka without any way to get to the next area.
  • At the end of part 2, killing Alice will lead to Ilias taking him to Heaven and raping him while losing to Alice will lead to her sealing Luka and herself in an unbreakable barrier so she can rape him for all eternity. You have to spare Alice to progress.
• The Nose Knows: One of Alice's talents; she knows which house is Luka's (and beats him to it) because it has his scent on it.
• Not Quite Back to Normal:
  • The "Witch Hunt" sidequest involves a witch turning human girls into tentacled monsters. After Lily is defeated, Luka apparently "seals" the girls' transformations... except not really, and they still can sprout tentacles at will.
  • Something similar happens with Succubus Village, where Alice's revitalizing spell (which she uses to attempt to heal up the men who were attacked) accidentally unseals all the Succubi Luka spent the entire quest sealing up. Apparently, once someone becomes a monster, the change is irreversible, and can only be mitigated at best. However, the men lured to the village enthusiastically volunteer to become the "livestock" of the succubi, leading to a strange form of coexistence.
• Not So Different:
  • Ilias Kreuz's anti-monster terrorist leader Lazarus to Luka. He claims that both were heavily affected by the decisions of Marcellus, and went down there paths as a result. Difference is Lazarus killed Marcellus for performing a Heel-Face Turn and continued hating monsters, while Luka was convinced his father was slain by a monsters and tries to spare monsters and bring co-existence as means of atoning for his father's sins.
  • A better example would be Luka and Lily. Both were outcasts in their own villages, and both were persecuted by others at a young age. Luka event notes that Lily got her revenge for the mistreatment she suffered, while he was forced to abandon it because of a promise he made to his mother.
  • As lampshaded later, Luka and Alice. Their parents both sought human-monster coexistence and ended up dying for it.
• Number of the Beast: Angel Halo is a sword made from the bones of 666 angels.
• Obviously Evil: Any sword skill that Alice teaches Luka since they are monster skills. Like many other things, this is lampshaded. The sword that Alice gives Luka early on takes this trope Up To Eleven since it is made out of 666 melted angels. Though given who the angels work for it might not be so evil.
• Oddly-Shaped Sword: The Angel Halo. The blade is covered in the figures of screaming angels and has a halo-shaped ring at the end. Somehow, it fits into a scabbard.
• Ominous Save Prompt: In the first completed translation you can only save at specific places, usually before battles. This is due to a technical difficulty involving the game engine refusing to play nice with English text. Most ways of bypassing this problem can result in save corruption, so the translator put these in mostly for convenience's sake. The fact that they double as a battle warning is just a pleasant side-effect. The remaster omits these as the save issues that warrant this have been fixed.
• Omniscient Morality License: Ilias tries to invoke this when Luka refuses to kill Alice, but Luka promptly calls her out for it.
• Only Six Faces: With Loads and Loads of Characters, each with a unique sprite, it becomes very easy to distinguish which ones were designed by the same artist.
• Optional Boss: Some battles, like the Mandragora and Mimic from the first chapter, can be avoided entirely if Luka simply ignores them. While challenging these do gain XP, they are more difficult than equivalent main story bosses.
• Our Angels Are Different: The angels can range from winged humanoids to more eldritch forms. A notable example of the latter is Ranael, who has snake hair like a Medusa, an octopus lower body like a Scylla, a giant Venus flytrap for a right arm, and a bundle of worms for a left arm.
• Out of the Inferno: The Chimera Dryad after being hit with Alice's Omega Fire spell. Oh Crap ensues.
• Out with a Bang: Even the monsters that only want to eat Luka have sex with him before doing so (or even while doing so).
• Questionable Consent: Many sex scenes that do not cause death (including a few with Alice) are still listed among Rape Scenes, and whether Luka is consenting or not is debatable.
• Palette Swap: The uncorrupted Elf you meet in Sylph's forest uses the same model as the Dark Elf Fencer you met earlier in the game, although they changed a few details like the clothes, hairstyle, and weapon, as well as the obvious skin tone shift. Even the hentai CG is in the exact same pose.
• Paper-Thin Disguise: Upon entering Iliasburg, Alice transforms into what can pass for human, but obviously not normal human. As in, she turns her tail into legs, but she's still has the flowers growing out of her head and covered with tattoos. Nobody seems to notice.
• Poor Communication Kills:
  • One of the reasons for the decline in human-monster relations in recent times. Monster Girls need semen to reproduce their dwindling numbers, but due to Ilias's teachings, they are forced to act aggressive to get it. And humans are naturally scared and flee when they can, perpetuating the cycle.
  • The boss fight with the Kraken, thanks to the fact that she is The Ditz, happens because she assumes Luka's here for the Blue Orb instead of hearing him out for the Marriage trial for Meia.
  • Despite appearing near the very end of the first game, Gnome can be seen hitting Sylph twice before that game's end. Her profile notes that she just doesn't know how to express her feelings (and Sylph still considers her as her best friend). Though to be fair, the other spirits pick on Sylph too, given her nature.
• Porn with Plot: It's not hard to find fans that would play this game without any sex scenes. A search for people who would prefer it like that is currently underway. Some players have claimed that the game lures players in with hentai material and then "hooks" them with the story.
• Press X to Die: Surprisingly often, though occasionally, Stupidity Is the Only Option is played straight instead. It all depends on whether or not the morally right choice is the only logical choice or an illogical one.
  • There also is the "suicide for fun" variety in that you can request a monster to use an attack on you until you are defeated. This however is reserved for replaying the game or choosing a fight from the encyclopedia and sometimes invokes a sexy or snarky comment from the monster at hand as well.
• Public Domain Soundtrack: Several pieces of music in the game are famous pieces of classical music:
  • Amira the Unfortunate Lamia's theme is Profokiev's "Montagues and Capulets"/"Dance of the Knights" from his ballet of Romeo and Juliet.
  • The theme of San Ilia Castle is Chopin's "Nocturne In E-Flat Major, Op.9 No.2".
  • The Sabasa Castle theme is Elgar's "Land of Hope and Glory" from his Pomp and Circumstance March No. 1.
• Purple Is Powerful: Alice has light violet skin and lighter violet hair, and well, she's the Monster Lord.
• Puzzle Boss: Several encounters boil down to this, and a majority of fights require you to perform certain actions (especially once you have Sylph and Gnome's abilities, which can block instant-death attacks and let you escape from binds more quickly respectively). Granberia is the most common opponent to be fought like this.
• Rape Is Ok When It Is Female On Male: You wouldn't be playing it otherwise. In the first chapter alone, Alice forces herself on Luka three times (each increasingly intimate), although whether Luka actually has a problem with it remains to be seen.
  • There is female-on-female rape in chapter 3. Two elves get raped during the first battle of Enrika and during the second battle of Witch Hunt Village an angel falls into an Iron Maiden V2 which wastes no time in going to work on her. The scene with Alma and Granberia COULD be interpreted as such, but from the sound of it Granberia is letting it happen, likes it, and does a really bad job of hiding it..
• Really Seven Hundred Years Old: Several of the more powerful monsters are this, most notably Tamamo (well over a thousand years old). Alice and Granberia, however, are subversions. Everyone (including Luka) thinks they have to be a couple of centuries old, at least, but in the second game, they're revealed to be only twenty-two and twenty-five respectively.
• Recurring Boss: Granberia of the Four Heavenly Knights is battled quite a few times throughout the story, mainly because she's interested in Luka's growth.
  • The first time is at Iliasberg, at the start of Luka's journey. None of Luka's "abilities" does anything, but when forced to use Demon Decapitation, Granberia starts taking him seriously and one shots Luka. The only reason he survives is thanks to Alice popping up and telling her to leave.
  • The second time is in San Ilia, invading the castle just so she can see how far Luka has grown. Suffice to say, the point of this match is to showcase all your new abilities before running out of HP.
• Red Shirts: Downplayed; during Luka's second battle against Granberia, some of the guards try to help Luka, but after she floors two of them in one hit, the rest back off. She doesn't kill them, showing everyone that she can show mercy, something most believe she lacks.
• Redemption Equals Death: Lazarus in chapter 3. Even if Luka can't bring himself to forgive Lazarus for killing his father he does know that in the end Lazarus died protecting people from humanity's true enemies, and respects his final wish to be buried next to Marcellus.
• Right Through His Pants: Is Luka even wearing pants? A lot of the... erotically named attacks used by opponents seem unlikely to work on someone who was clothed.
• Riddling Sphinx: Luka has to deal with one for the Engagement Challenge to prove he's worthy to wed Sara (note, this is a shotgun marriage which Luka must avoid, but he cannot avoid the trials) and she has three riddles. Interestingly, the Sphinx is somewhat generous at first. Riddle one is the old Riddle of the Sphinx, which shouldn't be too hard. The second is "Why am I asking you riddles?" If Luka answers, "Because it's a bad habit?" this is not the intended answer, but she finds it interesting, so she counts it as correct.
• Rigged Riddle: The Sphinx's third riddle is this, but it can be solved. Sphinx asks, "Why are you taking this trial?" Two of Luka's options are, "Because I got roped into it" (an honest answer, but incorrect) and "For love and peace!" (Clearly a lie, and also incorrect.) Seeing as Luka has no way of knowing the answer (because he came here for another reason and "got roped into it") he cannot answer, but he can ask Sara to answer for him, and she does indeed give Sphinx the right answer.
• Roaring Rampage Of Revenge:
  • In the second chapter, the plant and insect monsters of Plansect Forest are in the middle of a civil war. After talking to the plant monsters, Luka carves his way to the leader of the insects and seals her. The plants then start killing the defeated insects, claiming it is their right as victors. Luka goes ballistic, and seals everyone.
  • It happens again in chapter 3 when Luka finds his hometown completely annihilated. The angel responsible comes down to taunt him about it causing Luka to go completely berserk and finally awaken his angel powers.
• Save The Princess: Even Luka calls it a cliché. Subverted since the princess wasn't kidnapped in the first place and is actually a Badass Princess. Played straight, when the reason for Sara's crush on the dragon, Granberia, becomes apparent, which Luka also calls cliché. Of course, Badass Princess or not, Sara is a great deal weaker than the superhuman Luka, so you're still mostly on your own. Nevermind not nearly as well-equipped. You even get an achievement if you somehow manage to get Sara to kill a monster.
  • Played straight in the second chapter where she actually is kidnapped by monsters and you have to rescue her.
• Schmuck Bait:
  • The Imp. She's so weak (especially compared to Luka who by that point, has contracted the Four Spirits and is in the Monster Lord's Castle) that she actually offers sexual favors to Luka as a bribe to not hurt her. However, if you allow her to actually have sex with Luka, she catches him in an inescapable attack and defeats him, mocking him for being so stupid as to lose to someone as weak as her.
  • Any and every offer Luka receives to meet with someone in private during the epilogue. It's a test from Tamamo to see if he can resist temptation and is worthy of being wed to Alice... not that it would stop her or anyone else from taking him as a husband if he DOES fall for it...
  • The first Skill Luka gains is Edging, which is described as "a daring move that sharply decreases Luka's HP. The slightest touch might set Luka off when he's on the edge." This is a trap, as all it does is reduce his HP to 1, almost assuring defeat - outside of collecting death scenes, don't use it.
• Screen Shake: Strong attacks give the screen a good dosing of this, usually accompanied by a loud crash.
• Sdrawkcab Name: Amira the Lamia. The kana used for lamia in Japanese is (ramia). Reverse the order and you get (amira). This also applies to two of the the other Unfortunate Monsters, Domaimer (mermaido) and Pihar (harpi).
• Sealed Badass In A Can:
  • Tamamo is one of the Six Ancestors, one of the original monsters created by the very first monster lord and the one who created the Word of Dispel capable of negating the seal that imprisoned them all away hundreds of thousands of years ago. During the brief moments where Tamamo accesses her full, unrestricted abilities at the end of chapter three her power completely eclipses Luka and Alice's, and is capable of fighting Ilias on almost even ground until the Word of Dispel wears off.
  • Alice spends much of third game sealed and stuck in a smaller, younger form thanks to Promestein using the Six Ancestors Great Seal on her. As a result, Alice uses the same technique Tamamo does to temporarily regain her form for 3 turns before reverting.
• Single Gender Race: All monster girls, obviously.
• Slap Slap Kiss: For all the abuse Luka has to suffer from Alice, she is actually rather fond of him, and he warms up to her as well. By the end of Part 2, they're more or less a couple, and by the end of Part 3, they're married and expecting twins.
• Something Completely Different: There's one H scene with a human, amidst all the scenes with monsters and angels.
• Sorting Algorithm Of Evil: It's pretty convenient for Luka that the first two elementals, Sylph and Gnome, are lacking in combat experience. Sylph, the first one, even has no offensive ability.
  • Luka promptly lampshades it when it's subverted with one of the Heavenly Knights appearing in the first city he visits.
• Screw This, I'm Outta Here: Many early enemies will retreat when Luka finds out how to actually hurt them; Slime Girl after being nicked by Luka's "Fail Wildly", Slug Girl by salt.
• The Sphinx: Who, of course, uses The Riddle of the Sphinx. Even Luka Lampshades how everyone knows the answer to that riddle. The riddle is used to illustrate how short the human life is compared to monsters and the issues of a Mayfly-December Romance.
• Standard Status Effects: The game has the usual JRPG status effects like Paralysis, Poison, Bind, Petrification, Confusion, Trance, Sleep, Surrender, and Temptation.
• Stockholm Syndrome: This has happened to the men kidnapped by the Harpies; when Luka appears and fights the Harpies, the kidnap victims plead for the lives of their spouses; and before you can consider this, you discover some have even sired young children. This leads to a lot of embarrassment when their human wives show up, and Luka's best choice here is to at least try to negotiate for peaceful coexistence. Alice is a big help with this.
• Story-Breaker Power:
  • In Part 1, if Luka fought asleep all the time, he would never lose. It's actually invoked by Alice when the Kraken creates an impenetrable shield. Alice puts Luka to sleep, and he smashes it in one attack.
  • By the end of Part 2, Luka is already many times more powerful than his sleeping self ever was, even more so than Alice, meaning that no monster on the face of the planet could possibly defeat him so long as he has the power of the Four Spirits. Of course, Ilias's angels and the first Monster Lord's archfiends and elite monsters are also many times stronger than regular monsters (and Luka gets depowered early into the Angel Invasion), so it kind of evens out.
  • By the end of Part 3, Luka has angelic powers on top of the spirits, making him among the most powerful beings in existence. Only the final series of bosses (Eden, Promenstien, Black Alice, Ilias) provides any challenge.
  • Alice is vastly more powerful than most monsters you encounter. The only reason the game still has challenges is her refusal to fight outside of unusual circumstances.
• Super-Deformed:
  • The elementals have this as one of their poses, usually when they are doing something goofy.
  • The Four Bandits as well, mainly when they get emotional.
  • Even Alice, but only when she's really, really scared.
  • Tamamo has one when she uses her Moonlight Cannon and becomes too tired to move.
• Super-Powered Evil Side: If Luka ever happens to fall asleep, RUN. But it turns out it's not evil at all. Luka is half angel on account of his fallen angel mother, and his holy abilities finally awaken properly in chapter 3 when he sees his hometown annihilated, and the angel responsible makes the mistake of taunting him about it.
• Supervillain Lair: Luka's surprised the Monster Lord's castle does look pretty normal. Alice then asks why she would choose to live in an unpleasant-looking place.
• Swallowed Whole: There are so many vore scenes that the game gives you the option to turn them off. Special mention goes to the Suck Vore though.
• Sword Of Plot Advancement: Parodied with the Goddess Sword. Alice politely shows how useless it is to Luka by shattering it, so Luka doesn't have to go through the trouble of getting the blessing of the three sages. Played straight, however, with the Angel Halo Blade, which Luka uses to seal monster and defeat them passively. Said sword was made by Lucifina to counter the angel race, and Heinrich had it since the start of his journey but died from overusing it.
• Sword Over Head: When he finally confronts Lazarus near the end of Chapter Two and learns the truth about his father an enraged Luka grabs his iron sword and raises it in preparation to kill him via Sword Plant.
• Taking You with Me: When she realizes she's losing her battle with Luka, Erubetie grabs hold and prepares to turn herself into a hydrogen bomb to take him down. He does manage to talk her out of it.
• Taken for Granite:
  • Naturally, Medusa has this ability (the attack is called "Eye of Petrification") but in this case, it's a time-delay attack. If Luka is hit by it, he'll turn to stone in three turns (and be defeated instantly) meaning he has that long to defeat her.
  • Alice also has a similar ability, and uses it to seal Lazarus in stone to prevent Luka from killing him. It gets undone in Part 3 thanks to Alice being depowered and sealed.
• Tenchi Solution: The Harpy Village quest is resolved by the men marrying both human women and harpies.
• Testosterone Poisoning: The King of Sabasa. He looks like a blonde, bearded Bang Shishigami!
• The Theme Park Version: In-universe example. As the story progresses, Luka realizes how much the legend of hero Heinrich was distorted. For example, his Weapon Of Choice was the Angel Halo, not Goddess Sword. And instead of being welcomed into Heaven after slaying the Monster Lord, his soul was imprisoned by Ilias after he wore himself out fighting against her forces, with Black Alice being saved for Ilias' own plans.
• Tom the Dark Lord: Witch Hunt Village has a lot of nasty foes with nasty-sounding names, including Suck Vore, Worm Villager, and Iron Maiden. The mastermind there is... Lily.
• Took A Level In Badass:
  • Ahem, Luka. After quite a lot of hand-holding in the first part where he struggles simply to survive (often winning battles via dumb luck), he becomes obscenely powerful in part 2, so much that a player with the need to see every rape scene will have to lose on purpose many times to do so. Being half-angel may have something to do with it, but this is before he fully unlocks it!
  • The Crab Girl comes back in chapter two for a rematch, mentioning that she's been training ever since her previous sealing to defeat Luka.
• Tsundere:
  • Alice. She starts to slide into Defrosting Ice Queen territory fairly quickly though, and she's more of a Jerkass than just plain cruel.
  • Granberia becomes this in chapter two. Lose to her, and she'll start blushing before she rapes him. In fact, the whole H-scene feels like one big deredere moment for Granberia, especially the way it ends.
  • Luka toward Alice as well.
• The Unchosen One: Luka fails to become an official hero within minutes of the game. It doesn't stop him from trying to slay the Monster Lord and achieve his dream of trying to bring peace between monsters and humans.
  • Made even more interesting in that Ilias always reminds Luka that he IS The Chosen One, even though her absence was the very reason he didn't become an official hero. Later explained that Ilias purposefully left him unbaptized to see if an unbaptized Hero could kill the Monster Lord without being tempted by the monsters.
• There Is No Kill Like Overkill: Using the Quadruple Giga against the Imp or Tamamo. One is the weakest enemy in both parts and will stand still absolutely terrified of the building power of the skill. The other will be so weakened after firing off her strongest attack that she won't be able to put up any defense and a normal attack will be enough to defeat her.
  • To elaborate, the imp will be at first confused by you using so much magic against her, then she will be frightened the moment she understands what you are about to do, and in the final moments, she will try to run away from you.

Even the imp's scream is sealed

• Underboobs: Samurai Elf Girl - possibly a rare case of a functional use for this Trope, as she attacks Luka via Marshmallow Hell.
• Understatement: Before fighting the Slime Girl, Ilias spars with Luka as a combat tutorial; while explaining how the Struggle option works, she claims, "Some enemies use moves that will bind you in place or restrict your movement." The word "some" is a misnomer here, every enemy has at least one move like that.
• Useless Useful Spell: Undine and Salamander are completely pointless when you first get them. Undine gives a small boost to evasion (less than that of Gnome) and Salamander gives a small boost to attack (but prevents Meditation while in use). Once you get their second upgrades, however, they become Game Breakers- or they would be if you weren't by that stage fighting opponents powerful enough to NEED it!
• Video Game Cruelty Potential:
  • Be honest, half the fun in playing this game is having poor Luka lose battles on purpose just to see what happens to him.
  • You are seriously going to feel like a bully (or even a child abuser) after the fight with the Four Bandits, as they easily yield without Luka needing to hurt them.
  • Imp, meet Quadruple Giga. You even get an achievement for it. You can also use it on Tamamo and Alice while they are down.
• Video Game Cruelty Punishment: If you choose to leave Alice to die when you first find her, Ilias doesn't appear at the ceremony (having been wounded in the battle with Alice, even though Alice was hurt even worse). Alice recovers on her own, but her opinion of humans has now shifted to absolute hatred; she tracks Lukas down, overpowers him easily, and kills him.
• Virgin Power: Actually, subverted. While the player's task is to protect Luka's innocence (so to speak), there is no avoiding losing his virginity halfway through the first chapter, and this only makes him more confident and more powerful.
• War is Hell: The Plansect Village sidequest is a massive showcase in how bad massive scale conflict can be. Luka is initially recruited by the Plant monsters to overturn the battle between them and the Insect tribe. Luka then defeats the leader Queen Bee in battle... cue the Plant monsters going for the kill, devouring the insects. Luka learns the consequences of hearing one side of the story, and is forced to battle the Plants he sided with, who had no intention of ending the war, to bring it to an end. Chapter 3 has the war reignited thanks to Promienstien's Next Doll Tsukuyomi brainwashing the reformed Alra Priestess, and the Queen Alraune as well.
• Wham! Episode:
  • Played for Laughs When it comes to the aftermath of the Treasure Cave, with Tamamo causally calling Alice the Monster Lord, to Luka's shock as he had zero clue of Alice's true nature. The issue is that Alice is so obvious that Tamamo's shock that Luka really didn't know, and the monster and human's relationship becomes a bit strained after this.
  • The Witch Hunt Village Side quest is the first instance that theirs more to Luka then just a bumbling nice guy fake hero, given his violent reaction to Lily's reasoning as to why she turned the Village into her experiment as revenge, stating he went through the same hell, yet was unable to act upon it due to a promise he made to his mother on being a hero instead.
  • The Plansect Village sidequest. Poor Luka gets put through the ringer, more so than the usual monster trying to jump him, as he learns the consequences of just hearing one side of the story.
  • The hatching of the Divine Wings hits a snag when Ilias Kreuz goons steal the egg. When Luka barges into their HQ to reclaim it, he confronts Lazurus, who reveals that he killed Marcellus, not some monster as a response to Ilias Kreuz's mission, because Marcellus had secretly reformed after fathering Luka.
  • At the end of the second chapter, Ilias finally shows her insane side and plans to destroy both humans and monsters. Angels demonstrate that they're immune to everything except Angel Halo, the Heavenly Knights are badly beaten by unique chimeras designed to counter them, and Promesthein effortlessly avoids Luka's attack using an artificial version of Sylph. In other words, the heavenly force is on a completely different level to everything you've seen before.
• What Happened To The Mouse: Sara is last seen following Granberia to the Monster Lord's castle after she'd been turned into a monster. She is not mentioned again until late in Chapter 3, where she shows up there having been employed as a maid.
• What The Hell Player: Ilias' general reaction as you come to see her more and more often. There's even an achievement for unlocking special dialogue by dying and seeking her advice enough times.
  • Hilariously deep into Chapter Two this is averted when you lose to Beelzebub. She doesn't chastise you as she can only stand there in Stunned Silence before sighing heavily and telling you what you need to know. Given the H-scene before, Even Ilias has a limit on the obscene fates Luka can fall into.
• Why Did It Have To Be Ghosts?: Alice has a crippling fear of ghosts. Despite being a very much real race, she refuses to even entertain the notion, claiming they don't exist and are unscientific.
• Woobie Destroyer Of Worlds:
  • Lily, leader of Witch Hunt Village, was once an abused girl who was picked on for being an "outsider", and suffer harder punishment still from her father and brothers. After learning dark magic, she would kill her family and then became the leader, taking her anger out on the village by having women turned in by crime of "witchery" so she could experiment on them and turn them into Monster Girls.
  • Lazarus, unexpectedly, once you learn his backstory. Poor bastard was once best friends with Marcellus and had a crush with Karen, the party's priest. When Alice XV allowed for Marcellus to slay her under the promise of being peace between humans and monsters, Alice's Roaring Rampage of Revenge in response to her mother's death resulted in Karen and Merlin being brutally killed, and left the two survivors with a burning hatred of Monsterkind, hence Ilias Kreuz. Later on, Marcellus met Lucifina and fathered Luka, causing him realize his mistake and then actively sabotaging Ilias Kreuz's efforts, Lazarus would accidently kill him in an argument by attacking on Marcellus's half-blind side. Suffice to say, hatred and grief are all that's left in this man.
  • Ilias, perhaps even moreso. She was originally the primordial spirt of holy particles, and suffice to say, she was incredibly lonely stuck in a Time Abyss with only her counterpart and eventual mortal enemy for company. Seeking anyone she could truly communicate with, and her angels being a useless avenue, looked towards mankind, whom they saw as a Goddess. She let herself become humanity's "Goddess of Creation" to finally have purpose, but became consumed by the need to keep it at any and all cost, then going back to being alone again.
• Would Hurt A Child: The Harpies attacking Happiness Village are more than willing to abduct - and presumably rape - the male children, although the first one Luka meets is willing to let the intended victim go, as she finds Luka far more appealing. Even worse, one villager says they've done this before.
• You All Look Familiar: The sprites for generic monster girl NPCs also use translucent silhouettes of monsters you've seen or will encounter. It becomes more apparent in Succubus Village when a town girl NPC has a full-art sprite and it's evident that her silhouette's been used throughout the game.
• You Don't Want to Die a Virgin, Do You?: Near the end of the second chapter, Alice finally decides that since Luka's about to walk into the most dangerous place on the planet, she might as well do away with his Technical Virgin status. Not that she really gives him any choice. Turns out she was applying this to herself as well.
• You Have Researched Breathing: Alice teaches Luka how to meditate to help Luka focus his mind in battle. She mentions how Fallen Angel Erigora had the ability to heal his wounds with meditation, but Lampshades how obviously of a lie it is. To her amazement and fear, meditation actually does heal Luka's wounds.
