The Millstone: In the contest between the Quirky Miniboss Squads of Wyrm Hell and Ogre Organs, Harpy manages to screw up at every turn. In the first round, a fanart showdown in which both teams draw Ryuuka, most of the Wyrm Hell team's drawings are bad, but Harpy only draws Ryuuka's chest because boobs are all she can draw; Mino's is good enough to win, but also so steamy that Harpy nosebleeds all over it and the blood loss keeps her from participating in round 2. The final round is a "Lady Dragon Queen Quiz" where teams have to answer trivia questions about Ryuuka, and the Ogre Organs' team maintains an advantage for much of it because they have an official Ryuuka fanbook... authored by Harpy. The Wyrm Hell team only takes the win because the questions start concerning Ryuuka's relationship with Van. In contrast, the one round where Wyrm Hell won decisively was largely due to Succy the Succubus, who Ogre Organs insisted replace Harpy because they thought she would be The Load.

Hero Antagonist
 Dungeon Friends Forever (Manga) / int_1501e2dd
comment
Hero Antagonist: There's a True Hero simply referred to as "Prominence", judging by his title in a card game, that is said to be one of the strongest if not the strongest entities in the world, equal to a Demon King. And the story very loosely sets him up to be a potential threat after he killed another Dungeon Overlord. A test by Ryuuka's mother of Van not only tests for whether he's worthy of meeting her, showing that Van is Hero level all on his own, but that his shared morals with Ryuuka for non-lethality may very well clash with Prominence's in the future. Though this appears to be a Bait-and-Switch when we finally see him and he turns out to be an old friend of Van and Ryuuka he soon reveals he came to her dungeon to kill her.

Always Someone Better
 Dungeon Friends Forever (Manga) / int_19d1c1ae
comment
Always Someone Better: Golde is regarded as the “strongest man� but he looses very easily to Van. Zig-Zagged with Sora Prominence and Van. They are actually equals in terms of raw speed and strength but the fact that Prominence uses a magical blade while Van uses a regular one that can break gives the former a slight advantage that requires Van to work with Ryuuka to fight him. However, Van still feels that Prominence’s combat skills need improving. Also, since Prominence gains his power from the sword itself removing or breaking the sword (somehow) will depower him, unlike Van who’s naturally powerful.

Childhood Friend Romance

Childhood Friend Romance: Not Ryuuka and Van, though the signs of it potentially developing are there, but rather Golde and Sylvia. Despite Sylvia's youthful appearance, she and Golde are the same age, have known each other since they were children, and are married with a teenage daughter of their own. This revelation immediately sets the Board of Directors to imagining Ryuuka and Van as a married couple with children.

Childhood Friends
 Dungeon Friends Forever (Manga) / int_1fe9e22

Childhood Friends: The premise of the series is that the Dungeon Friends of the title are an adventurer and the dungeon's final boss. Van regularly crashes through Ryuuka's dungeon for the sole purpose of hanging out with her. Chapter 2 shows that they met when they were seven years old. Van's family took care of Ryuuka after she got separated from her family, and Van helped her reunite with her parents. Sora Prominence, the Great Hero, was Van's neighbor and knew both him and Ryuuka very well.

Oblivious to Love
 Dungeon Friends Forever (Manga) / int_2848e7d2
comment
Oblivious to Love: Van sees Ryuuka as his childhood friend, and his intimacy could very well be subdued feelings on his side but he doesn't even remotely seem to express it in any such way beyond great personal care for her welfare. So when Ryuuka makes sure to proclaim that He Is Not My Boyfriend, he takes it at face value constantly and seems perfectly okay with it — much to the consternation of everyone else. There's signs that he's not so oblivious, or even potentially jealous of the implication that Ryuuka does like someone that totally isn't him, but he carefully avoids showing anything outward about it so as to not affect their relationship.

comment
Shipper on Deck: Ryuuka's top enforcers, her Dark Board of Directors, spend the bulk of their screentime quietly watching Ryuuka and Van's interactions, finding their relationship precious. Harpy, especially, is all for them upgrading their relationship. They don't even mind that Van will be able to start visiting daily, even though it means he'll also be beating the crap out of them daily since it's their job to at least try to stop him. Sylvia the mage joins in the on-deck shipping in chapter 10, when she's quick to notice the nature of Ryuuka's and Van's relationship and quietly tells Ryuuka she'll be rooting for them.

Good Thing You Can Heal
 Dungeon Friends Forever (Manga) / int_3456f3c5
comment
Good Thing You Can Heal: Ryuuka supplying mana to the dungeon, and the monsters tied to it, means that any of the monsters Van injures are granted a passive regeneration. The result is them constantly getting beat up as the requirement for even getting to see Ryuuka, and them generally shrugging off potentially horrible pain as something that'll go away in a bit.

No Hero Discount: Despite Van being the Dungeon Master's childhood friend, he still has to challenge all 100 floors every day if he wants to see her like everyone else. Subverted in chapter 26 where it’s revealed that when Van was younger, he would still make it to the lower levels (mainly by sneaking in) but then the main squad would take dives so he could pass after ruffing him up a bit. Van was aware of this and overtime developed the strength to beat them for real.

Death Is Cheap
 Dungeon Friends Forever (Manga) / int_37fcf16
comment
Death Is Cheap: Ten years ago the demon king was killed by a great hero. However, according to Prominence his soul remained and has been gathering power since. There is a prophecy that ten years from his death (which is now) the demon king will be reborn through one of his “vessels�. This is why Prominence was sent to kill Ryuuka, since as a very powerful black dragon queen she is a possible candidate.

Bad Boss: Ryuuka can be this, but it's usually because the four Board members deserve it. When Van stated he needed to get some items from the dungeon to rank up in the Guild, he pulls out a paper that shows body parts of the four are worth a good amount of money. Ryuuka just points to them and says "have at them".

Curb-Stomp Battle
 Dungeon Friends Forever (Manga) / int_3d699462
comment
Curb-Stomp Battle: Van can power his way through the 100 floors of Ryuuka's dungeon in no time at all. In fact, Mino-san notes it's very easy to know when it's Van coming because the announcer that alerts the dungeon to intruders informs everyone that a floor has been breached one after the other in rapid succession. The Board of Directors has basically given up trying to actually stop Van, only trying to because it's literally their job and setting goals like "hold him for 10 minutes." In chapter 9, Van curb stomps the World's Strongest Man, Golde. He's able to do a Bare-Handed Blade Block with two fingers of the hand he's holding his sword with to effortlessly stop his opponent's own attack then floors him with one punch.

Parental Substitute: Chapter 26 shows that the Dark Board, knowing Van wanted to visit Ryuuka but unable to actually defeat them legitimately, started subtly training him to be able to actually accomplish it, and the Guild Master is someone Van takes care of in his spare time, meaning all of them are effective substitutes in a weird sort of way. Though in chapter one, it is mentioned that Van has a mother, who would frequently have him bring Ryuuka food whenever her son left to visit her.

Mistaken for Flirting: Chapter 5 introduces Succy the Succubus, who tries to seduce Van while he's making his regular charge through the dungeon to visit Ryuuka. However, among the dungeon's monsters only the Board of Directors know the nature of their relationship. This causes Mino-san, out of a combination of protecting Ryuuka's secret and being offended at Succy trying to get between Van and Ryuuka, to charge Van, lose, and use that as an excuse to let Van proceed to Ryuuka. Succy, unaware of what's going on, sees the whole thing as Mino-san leaping into the fray to protect her and comes the conclusion that he has a thing for her, oblivious that he's actually very annoyed at her.

Prominence didn’t know that the Demon King's Vessel, that he was sent to kill was Ryuuka until he saw Van at the dungeons entrance. But he still intends (begrudgingly) to follow through with his mission because it is what’s expected of him. He later decides against this and agrees to help Van and Ryuuka find another way.

World's Strongest Man: Chapter 8 introduces Golde, "The Legendary Man". He gets his names from all the legends that have sprung up in his wake. He's conquered dungeons all over and he's arrived to take on Wyrm Hell as he lives to take on powerful opponents. However even he can't do a thing against Van, who fights him to protect Ryuuka and wins handily. Chapter 27 lets us finally meet the world's strongest hero, Sora Prominence who can clear the dungeon just as fast as Van and is revealed to have been Van's next-door neighbor when they were kids.

comment
Cannot Spit It Out: Ryuuka and Van both obviously like each other and Everyone Can See It, though they aren't entirely sure if the other does thanks to Ryuuka putting on a Tsundere denial about it, and neither wants to necessarily confess, though Ryuuka is the one that is actually has it in consideration versus Van not being sure if he wants to ever push things past the "childhood friends" part that could complicate their relationship. They're happy where they are on the surface, but Ryuuka is definitely perturbed by all the near-misses and Van is ambiguous in his considerations on the matter.

Had to Be Sharp: Since Van doesn't get a free pass to the bottom of the dungeon, he had to fight his way through all 100 floors every month for ten years just to spend time with his childhood friend. This being a dungeon where the average Adventurer rarely makes it to Level 45 at best and only the most high ranking monsters in the dungeon are aware of his and Ryuuka's friendship. Because of that, he is incredibly strong that he can now speed run the dungeon in minutes.

Sore Loser: Van is such a Determinator that losing tends to make him sour if he isn't intentionally throwing a fight or game, and the Board throwing their fights to Van as a child actually made him frustrated knowing he wasn't strong enough to win for real. When Ryuuka pulls The True Hero's card in a game that is an Instant-Win Condition, he straight up just throws the cards into the air in indignation and swears for the first time on-panel.

From just enjoying the sweet wholesomeness of their friendship (Wul-kun), shipping them hard (Mino-san), providing ways to enable progress (Orkkun), or wanting to see things get sexy (Harpy-san).

Overshadowed by Awesome: The Board are actually very powerful monsters, with Golde even commenting they are stronger than even Boss Ranked monsters in other dungeons he has conquered. It's just that Van is so strong he beats them up in an instant and most of their onscreen time is focused on them being Date Peepers.

Art Shift: The four members of the Dark Board look like genuinely terrifying monsters when discussing business, but look a lot nicer and softer when it's just them being Date Peepers.

comment
Benevolent Boss: Mino-san does not like Succy the Succubus due to a combination of a general dislike of succubi and because her actions inadvertently got between his shipping of Van and Ryuuka. However when Succy, oblivious to how Mino-san feels about her, confesses to feeling inadequate to the task being a monster of Wyrm Hell, he gives her sincere advice on how to turn her abilities, pros and cons alike, to her advantage. As Mino-san does this, there's a note next to him explaining that he doesn't allow his personal feelings to interfere with his work. The chapter ends with Succy seeing greater success, using her attempts to seduce incoming adventurers as a distraction to help other monsters rather than as an attack in and of itself.

Cool Sword: The sword of the great hero, Calendula, is considered the best of the best. Not only does it give anyone who wields it extreme power but the output of heat and mana melts through anything it touches, except for Black Dragon Queen scales. Ryuuka and the board fashion a sword for Van using a mix of mithril, orichalcum, adamantite and Ryuuka’s own scales to compete with the sword of the hero. It is named the Azure Dragon Sword "Blue Star".

The Peeping Tom: Chapter 4 features Ryuuka being given the chance to watch Van when he's not at her dungeon by way of a Magical Witchcraft Monitor, essentially a television set that gives Surveillance as the Plot Demands focused on Van. Despite a token protest, Ryuuka spends every moment Van's not physically with her watching the TV for days at a time, the narration going so far as to call her a complete stalker. The issue is ultimately resolved when Van, having noticed he's being watched but not sure how, starts glaring in the direction of the camera, and the sight of his angry face being directed towards her makes Ryuuka destroy the monitor.

Orcus on His Throne
 Dungeon Friends Forever (Manga) / int_add14bc2
comment
Orcus on His Throne: Enforced by the Board. Dungeon bosses like Ryuuka have an infinite mana supply and serve as basically living batteries for the dungeon. Their presence keeps the dungeon running for construction and its denizens and allowing the monsters to heal from their injuries. Unfortunately, this also means that a dungeon boss isn’t allowed to leave unless they have a replacement (hence, Ryuuka has been literally stuck there since her father, the dungeon's original boss and builder, retired). The Board want to guard Ryuuka with their lives alongside the rest of the dungeon. Sure she's arguably quite terrifyingly powerful, but having her go out and fight against any old adventurer would be a risk for everyone there. This becomes a plot point when the True Hero kills the master of another dungeon, causing them to desperately rush to Ryuuka's to try to forcibly take her to theirs to give it some life again. Well, that and they're totally obsessed with her.

Ms. Fanservice: Played for Laughs, in that Ryuuka is usually near-entirely modest and not really an example of this herself on the norm. But Harpy is so obsessed with seeing something erotic between her and Van that she constantly imagines Ryuuka in sexy situations, never mind the other members of the Board occasionally imagining their own moments or laser beaming steamy artwork into existence. The series even occasionally uses extra chapters and title art as an excuse to draw Ryuuka in various outfits and situations for the heck of it, but never directly reflects it in the main story itself.

Dungeon Bypass: Chapter 5 opens with a description of how Van makes his way through Ryuuka's dungeon on a daily basis: Brute Force. Van's clearly established to be strong enough to take on all the monsters en route, but this sequence also shows him charging straight through the obstacles and traps, such as puzzle doors, in exactly the same way.

The game takes potshots at various other fantasy and isekai genre stereotypes, with Van getting kicked out of the hero's party and gaining a powerful revenge buff.

Blood Knight: Golde has conquered numerous dungeons across the world and yet never takes any of the treasures within. It's because he loves the challenge of fighting strong opponents more than any riches he could earn doing so. When Van goes to the adventurer's guild to survey opinions on how to improve the dungeon, Golde sends back a request for a floor just to fight Van on.

Made of Indestructium: Prominence’s sword which magically imbues him with his power is so durable that not even Ryuuka can break it despite being a very powerful black dragon queen. This is what gives him the edge over Van since the latter uses a regular sword (that can break).

Everyone Can See It: No one except Van is fooled by Ryuuka's insistence she has no romantic feelings for Van.

In chapter 10, Sylvia calls it obvious when Ryuuka acts with confusion to her promise to root for them.

Contrived Coincidence: In Prominence's backstory, once he obtained the magical sword, he is made to register as an adventurer at the capital of the country. At the same time, some demon-worshiping cult in the capital is on the cusp of calling forth a demon. They succeed just after Prominence arrives and he vanquishes the demon in seconds. That is how Prominence became known as "The Great Hero." Prominence didn’t know that the Demon King's Vessel, that he was sent to kill was Ryuuka until he saw Van at the dungeons entrance. But he still intends (begrudgingly) to follow through with his mission because it is what’s expected of him. He later decides against this and agrees to help Van and Ryuuka find another way.

Dating What Daddy Hates: In chapter 16 were introduced by Ryuuka’s mother, who disapproves of her daughter's friendship with Van. This is because Van is human and she expects the demon king to inevitably start war between humans and monsters. Though she begins to accept him after Van and Ryuuka prove their loyalty to each other. Ryuuka’s father on the other hand seems to adore Van. A flashback has him telling Van to call him papa.
