Dynasty Warriors/Funny


  • After you defeat Zhang He as Xiahou Yuan during the battle of Guan Du, Yuan will ask him to join up say that his "Master likes the strong and weird types" Zhang He accepts in the most unusal manner. To which Yuan then asked Cao Cao's forgiveness as "this one is a little too strange".
  • If you're strong enough, you'll see a laughable strategy offered by a random officer:
I shall teach you the basics of strategy! *beat the officer before he finished saying that* Some battles you win, and some battles you lose.
—(Surely that was a strategy basic all right...)
  • In Dynasty Warriors 6, Zhang Jiao and Dong Zhuo come back from beyond the grave (with ridiculous ghostly hammy acting) to get revenge against Lu Bu, which prompts a snarky reply from Zhang Liao.

Zhang Liao: It seems...we are up against a formidable enemy

  • Another one in the sixth installment: Sun Quan declaring war on Cao Cao (battle of He Fei Castle) as if he were channeling the great god of war William Shatner.

Sun Quan: We will lay siiiege to Weiii...and defeat Cao Caooo...

Xu Zhu: Hey! You're big and fat, just like me!
Meng Huo: What?! I'm not fat! This is all muscle!

  • In Dynasty Warriors 5 Empires, some of the taunts officers give, along with their responses, whether they take the bait or not.
    • Diao Chan's taunt: "You fear one such as I? Oh, you poor thing!"
    • Lu Bu's response to a taunt: "Do you have any idea who you are talking to?!"
    • Zhang Jiao's response: "Allow to me seal such a blasphemous mouth!"
    • Yuan Shao ignoring a taunt: "There wails the envy of the lower class! How pathetic!"
    • A few generic officers get some good one-liners in, too: (Responding to taunt) "Let me see if I can't rearrange your ugly face!" or (Dismissing a taunt) "Oh go bite yourself."
    • This troper tends to favor his created warriors over the normal musou charactors and overheard his female right-hand ignore a taunt. "Don't you have a better way of asking for a date?"
  • The existence of Zhang Lu in Dynasty Warriors 5 Xtreme Legends. His voice...was a comedic goldmine. Good luck sitting through Yang Ping Gate or Jian Ge Gate without cracking up.
  • Conquest Mode in Dynasty Warriors 7 offers ample opportunities for these.
    • Of note is Cao Pi's first Legendary Battle, where he fights a series of suitors for Zhen Ji's hand, including his own father. His last opponent before coming face to face with Zhen Ji is Yuan Xi, Zhen Ji's first husband, who calls everyone out on trying to steal his wife.
    • In Sima Zhao's first Legendary Battle, he finds himself under attack with his brother Shi leading the charge. The reason? He ate one of Shi's Meat Buns, although an earlier line of Zhuge Dan's implies that he couldn't resist them either.
    • Zhang He's third and last Legendary Battle involves him recruting people for his dance troupe. Of couse, he has to beat the tar out of them for them to comply. While Zhen Ji, Cai Wenji and Diao Chan are rather obvious choices and that he did choose them; he also ended up taking Zhou Yu, Liu Shan and Zhuge Liang with the latter two lampshading their predicament.
    • If your bond with Lu Bu is strong enough, he will ask you what you think about him. If you respond by complimenting his ludicrously iconic headgear, he will gleefully respond with "Oh! So you like it too?"
      • Zhang Liao shares this particular question with the same possible answers. Granted, he also have a ludicrous Nice Hat.
  • One of the gag weapons in Dynasty Warriors 7 is the Three Kingdoms for the Flying Swords. Not the swords of the three leaders; the actual three kingdoms novels.
  • In DW7:XL, remember the infamous "I am my own opponent" line from DW3!Fan Castle?

"I never thought I would have to face myself... This will be an interesting battle no doubt."

  • Also in Xiao Qiao's Legend Mode, when she meets up Zhang He...

Zhang He: This battlefield is no place for a little girl like you. Leave before you get hurt.
Xiao Qiao: Excuse me? I think you're the one who looks like a little girl here.

  • In 7: Xtreme Legends' Legend Mode, having Lu Bu as your Adjutant and speaking to him when your castle town's Atmosphere is Carefree:

Lu Bu: Simply being in this town is driving me insane. The people no longer fear me due to the peace and tranquility.

    • When you speak to him as a female character when your town's atmosphere is Friendly:

Lu Bu: I find myself searching for you whenever you're gone. Hmph! I cannot believe I allowed myself such weakness.

  • In the pre-battle of the Campaign against the Yuans in 7: Extreme Legends' Legend Mode, two nameless privates are discussing in a corner. One of them gives a strangely apt description of their raison d'ètre.

Private #1: I can't decide whether I'm going to be the next Ma Dai or the next Pang De. Which do you think suits me?
Private #2: I'd say you look like the next nameless peon who gets mowed down by a rampaging enemy.

  • Pretty much any stage with this silly music playing is guaranteed to be hilarious.
  • Dynasty Warriors 8 has a surprising amount of humor.
    • At the beginning of Wei's story route, Cao Cao is having to run out of Luoyang when an attempt to kill Dong Zhuo goes bad. Xiahou Yuan's reaction to seeing his cousin having to run from a pissed off army led by Lu Bu:

Uh oh, looks like it didn't go so well.......

    • After someone shoots out Xiahou Dun's eye and gets a little cocky, Xiahou Yuan takes the idiot out with the laziest counter-shot ever.
    • Wu's story route first level ends with a hilarious Historical In-Joke. Provided you prevented Sun Jian's death, he still gets hit with the arrow that would have killed him, but otherwise ultimately useless Imperial Seal saves his life as a makeshift Pocket Protector.[1]
    • Han Dang in general is the world most hilarious Attention Whore. Whether it's actually doing something smart and being surprised he did something clever, actually bitching you out for doing well on the battlefield (and immediately apologizing for thinking out loud), or random Wu soldiers relentless lampshading his need to be noticed, that trope has never been milked for more laughs.
  • Dynasty Warriors 9 has a few jokes of its own.
  1. ↑ The joke is that for all the noise that had been made about it proved one's legitimacy to the imperial succession, it wound up being so pointless in the grand scheme of things Sun Ce later pawned the whole thing off for some troops that he got a lot more done with than he would have been able to do by simply waving the Imperial Seal around with.
