The comic updates 8:00 AM and PM EST every day, [[Schedule Slip|except when the authors get lazy]]. Also the Authors have a habit of putting A LOT of information in their author comments, so a good chunk of the tropes are [[All There in the Manual]].
Line 32:
** [[Bizarre Alien Reproduction]]: Kayoss can only reproduce with [[One True Love|a single being]] (although they being can be of [[Interspecies Romance|any species]], and sometimes [[Robo Ship|it doesn't even need to be a living thing]]), they exchange genetic material by wanting to have a kid and holding hands, and they can only have three (living) children at a time.
** [[Bizarre Sexual Dimorphism]]: Female Kayoss look like human women with [[Raymanian Limbs|Raymanian feet]] and no noses. Male Kayoss have no hair or mouths along with a [[Dragonball Z|Majin Buu]] head tentacle, can breath through their eyes, have [[Raymanian Limbs|Raymanian hands]] to go along with their feet and can absorb life energy though their hands.
* [[Blade on a Stick]]: Void started off with one but later gained the ability to create them with his bare hands. [https://web.archive.org/web/20171108133311/http://l-empire.smackjeeves.com/comics/664689/the-devil-in-a-pink-dress-pt-19/ His aim still sucks though.]
* [[The Blank]]: See [[Eyeless Face]]
* [[Bond Creatures]]: Peri to Shadowpalm.
Line 50:
* [[Dark Is Evil]]: {{spoiler|Dark Star}}
* [[Death Is Cheap]]: {{spoiler|Mario}} gets their head cut of multiple time, in a matter of a few minutes. {{spoiler|However a new head just pops up every time.}}
** Also pointed out by Mr L [https://web.archive.org/web/20131227023501/http://l-empire.smackjeeves.com/comics/1272108/oil-is-thicker-than-water-pt-6/ here].
* [[Dead Guy, Junior]]: Kind of, as Hector is named after his grandfathers and they're all undead.
* {{spoiler|[[Demonic Possession]]: Dimentio was possessed by Dark Star during the events of [[Super Paper Mario]].}}
* [[Deus Ex Machina]]: [https://web.archive.org/web/20171108133921/http://l-empire.smackjeeves.com/comics/504379/project-runaway-pt-25/ Used and justified by the authors], this is a comedy after all.
* [[Disproportionate Retribution]]: Geminiman wants to kill Void for for doing the following (all in the first saga): [https://web.archive.org/web/20131223052211/http://l-empire.smackjeeves.com/comics/367203/origins-of-the-akward-pt-4/ Calling him an 8 bit recolor,] [https://web.archive.org/web/20131223052656/http://l-empire.smackjeeves.com/comics/444065/date-with-disaster-pt-3/ going on a date with his older half sister,] [https://web.archive.org/web/20131223052711/http://l-empire.smackjeeves.com/comics/445037/date-with-disaster-pt-6/ stealing his credit card to pay for said date,] [https://web.archive.org/web/20171108134057/http://l-empire.smackjeeves.com/comics/451898/project-runaway-pt-3/ making a bunch] [https://web.archive.org/web/20171108134053/http://l-empire.smackjeeves.com/comics/452168/project-runaway-pt-4/ of head puns when] [https://web.archive.org/web/20171108134031/http://l-empire.smackjeeves.com/comics/456975/project-runaway-pt-10/ he was decapitated,] [https://web.archive.org/web/20171108134045/http://l-empire.smackjeeves.com/comics/452899/project-runaway-pt-6/ impaling him on a spear], [https://web.archive.org/web/20171108133921/http://l-empire.smackjeeves.com/comics/504379/project-runaway-pt-25/ freezing him with a deus ex machina,] [https://web.archive.org/web/20171108133419/http://l-empire.smackjeeves.com/comics/636711/the-devil-in-a-pink-dress-pt-3/ destroying his blue armor polish,] [https://web.archive.org/web/20171108133343/http://l-empire.smackjeeves.com/comics/660960/the-devil-in-a-pink-dress-pt-12/ ruining his armor after another polishing,] [https://web.archive.org/web/20171108133228/http://l-empire.smackjeeves.com/comics/666661/one-weeks-notice-pt-2/ and blowing up his arm].

* [[Handicapped Badass]]: Palmaster was born without eyes so he can't see or move that much<ref> Male Kayoss breathe through their eyes (and partially through their skin)</ref>, but that doesn't stop him from being one of the most powerful fighters in the comic.

* [[Running Gag]]: 5, misnamed tropes, everything being Void' fault, Fancy Intro's, spelling mistakes (especially the word sibling).
* [[Schedule Slip]]: '''''[https://web.archive.org/web/20171108124538/http://l-empire.smackjeeves.com/comics/1507726/everybody-was-nej-l-k-fighting-pt-7/ Weaponized]''''' (Major Spoilers)
* [[Sealed Evil in a Can]]: {{spoiler|After his defeat, Dark Star is put in Gamermaster's [[Pocket Dimension|left pocket]] and had all of his author powers except the ability to post author comments removed.
