Tropes used in Nagasaki Moon include:

• Decon Recon Switch

• Rock-Paper-Scissors: The cyborg vampire and werewolf ninja need to decide who has to have lunch with the giggly, flirty girls and who gets to have lunch with the female lead they're supposed to protect. How do they decide? An epic battle? No, they play Rock Paper Scissors.
• Rule of Fun: Why have cybernetic vampires? Why not?
• Rule of Funny: Orrick's existence.
• Sarcastic Confession: Jack to Anie toward the beginning

• A Wizard Did It: Very literal.
