Tropes

 * Ass Kicks You:
 * Bad Future: The Rapid Eye originated from
 * Badass Adorable: Rin, Clear, Innocence and Yue & Kurogitsune are this, due to their younger appearances.
 * Clothing Damage: The defeated fighters suffer this upon being dealt the finishing blow. Averted with the Mirror Men, who are composed of Shadow Shards and shatter into pieces of darkness upon defeat.
 * Crisis Crossover:
 * Darker And Edgier: Than both Nitro+ Royale and Blasterz, due to involving a proper plot this time.
 * Downloadable Content: Unlike most games, all DLC are free.
 * Drunk on the Dark Side: The bad endings of each chapter can be reached by winning a majority of fights with Heartbreakers...or by picking the wrong choices in-between battles.
 * Earn Your Happy Ending:
 * Easter Egg/Omake: After every bad ending, Granny Tae's Guidance Corner will be shown unless the player used too many Heartbreakers, in which instead a notice will remind the player on how too many times they killed their foes.
 * Fighting Clown: Basketballs and jellyfish drones aside, Makoto and Clear mainly have sillier attacks. …Their Climaxes are either serious or scary, though.
 * Finishing Move: True Climaxes. And their darker Atrocity-exclusive equivalent, Heartbreakers, which are meant to kill a fighter's foe or make him completely helpless in a brutal way and are based off his flaws and bad ending (if he has one.)
 * Gainaxing: If a guy has a big butt or prominent abs, expect the bouncing.
 * Guest Fighter: Countless others from third-party made BL, as well as some originating from female-aimed franchises that are not BL.
 * Non Standard Game Over:
 * Pintsized Powerhouse: Rin and Innocence are shorter than the other fighters, but both can overcome larger opponents without a sweat. There's even an achievement for going through Arcade with them as a team!
 * Puppet Fighter: The DRAMAtical Murder cast consists of this, having paired up with their AllMates. Even Clear, who summons jellyfish attack drones to assist him.
 * Smoke Out: Motomi, Koujaku and Mink's smoking can break combos and inflict the 'Cough' ailment, with the former two able to use their cigarettes as projectiles and the latter as a close-range counterattack.
 * Status Effects: Ailments can be inflicted during fights to hinder his foe.
 * Super Deformed: Everyone in Granny Tae's Guidance Corner appears like this, courtesy of Yuupon's chibi-style art.
 * Took a Level in Badass: of all people! All (no) thanks to Akumu giving him a Wishstone, allowing him to gleefully summon torture instruments and Gatling Guns to protect himself.

YMMV

 * Catharsis Factor:
 * Signature Scene:
 * Take That, Scrappy!:

Trivia

 * Fan Nickname: 'Yaoi Ranbu' for the game in general. Ironically, only one of the fighters is a Touken Danshi.
 * The Other Darrin: None of the voice actors of the DMMD anime English dub reprise their roles. Mikazuki also gets a new VA, Troy Baker, replacing both of his anime adaption dubs, and for a good reason.
