< Arcana Heart

Arcana Heart/YMMV


  • Badass Decay: Lieselotte. In Arcana Heart 1, she's a bonafide Enfant Terrible assassin, but afterwards, she began to mellow down into Jerkass Woobie.
  • Epileptic Tree - They tend to come up with theories with how Zenia and Lieselotte are related (they do look a bit alike...)
  • Game Breaker: Averted. Konoha's short physique helps her avoid many attacks, but she has a pretty short range.
    • Played straight with Elsa. Depending on arcana selection, she has several infinite combos in Arcana Heart 3.
  • Genius Bonus: Akane Inuwaka's arcana is named after a type of fox. Knowing that, check out her ears under that do-rag.
  • Heartwarming Moments: Saki's ending in 3 would've been an utter Tear Jerker when she broke down in tears after seeing Fiona off after her attempts to restore her into humans were a complete failure and lie... had it not for Heart coming shortly after and comforts her, despite Saki trying to push her away, which pulls it to this trope.
  • Les Yay: Most of the girls have something for another.
    • Particularly notable with Clarice di Lanza, in that there is no such thing as subtext regarding her fixation with Elsa la Conti.
    • Mei Fang also seems to have shades of this with her creator. In her Arcana Heart 3 ending, it seems to be more than just shades.
    • Mildred also, with Fiona.
  • Moe - The first fully Moe fighting game franchise.
  • Nightmare Fuel: Lieselotte Achenbach... a cute little kid who's actually a world class assassin Enfant Terrible who carries a doll containing her sister's soul (Or so she thought). Uuuhh...
  • The Computer Is a Cheating Bastard - At least for the semi-boss of Story Mode.
  • Viewer Gender Confusion - Raise your hand if you think that had it not been her name and the fact that this is an All-Girls Fighting Game, you might pass up Dorothy Albright as a cute little boy.
  • The Woobie: Every time Fiona Mayfield loses, she ends up crying and pleading for the opponent to stay away from Mildred.
