Running Gags[]
- Almost every episode features a phrase that is repeated verbatim or paraphrased multiple times throughout the story (see quotes below for example). This is a trait that appeared frequently in Zero-Q's earlier series Umineko Parody Fandub.
- Yuno's incontrollable use of sexual puns. Aru seems to use them too, albeit more subtle and in lesser amounts.
- All diary owners explode the instant they die (except Karyuudo who explodes off-screen).
- Yuno survives what would have otherwise been a fatal attack. When another character asks how she did it, she says it's because she's "Yuno f**king Gasai".
- Yuno really hates it when people don't "shut up and let her be naked."
- Almost every episode featured a moment between scenes where the narrator shouts out "(CURRENT ENVIROMENT/TOPIC OF DISCUSSION) IS/ARE... GOOD!"
- Reisuke does something that a normal five-year-old wouldn't be capable of doing (like injecting food with poison) and then remarks "-because just like all five-year-olds, I can (perform aforementioned impossible task)."
- Yuno murders people for no reason at all and inadvertently foils an enemy's plans in the process.
- Deus likes watching Sitting on the Can, a reality show about people on the toilet.
- Yuno want's Yuki to have sex with her, but it's never the time.
- Kurusu is only referred to as "Mr Detective", aside from Nishijima who addresses him as "Sir".
- Rea Amano inhales heavilly whenever she does something peverted, normally to her own son.
- Anybody who plays Tetris on their phone gets impaled through the head with an arrow.
- Any situation in which a character is able to easily bypass a heavily guarded area or elude capture is usually followed by them proclaiming that "their/your security sucks".
- Those two minor characters Dave and Gary. The latter is constantly talking about the former's biceps.
- Zero-Q's use of his own illustrated scenes for added comedic effect (as of episode 8).
Trivia[]
- Given the amount of time it took for Mirai Nikki to be adapted into an anime, many people (excluding Zero-Q) began planning out ideas for their own abridged series years in advance. In anticipation of the anime receivng multiple parodies, Zero-Q titled his version "Mirai Nikki an Abridged Series" as opposed to the standard "The Abridged Series" (or TAS).
- Whilst searching for actors to voice in his parody, Zero-Q did a Youtube search for "mirai nikki fandubs". Amongst the latest uploads was a short, serious fandub by Stephanie W where she voiced both Yuno and Yuki. Zero-Q messaged her asking if she would like to voice as either or both characters in his series, to which she agreed.
- Crazyboutcena54 and DevilKickSanji who voice Minene and Nishijima, respectively have also voiced in Zero-Q's earlier parody Umineko Parody Fandub as Shannon and George, whom, like Minene and Nishijima, go on to become a couple.
- In one episode, Mur Mur can be seen watching The Adventures of Lano and Woodley on TV. This is an Australian sitcom from the late 90's which Zero-Q is especially fond of.
- Zero-Q uses a Southern accent when voicing Mr. Detective (Kurusu). This is also how he voiced Detective Akasaka in Higurashi Parody Fandub.

- Aru: What do you mean?
- Yuki: Never mind.
