.hack//AI buster: Difference between revisions

* [[Exposed to The Elements]]: Hokuto running through a giant blizzard in her usual garb most certainly counts. It is an avatar, however, so it's easy to shrug off.

* [[Eyes Always Shut]]: Lycoris {{spoiler|before obtaining eye.cyl.}}

* [[Hilarious in Hindsight]]: In "Firefly," (published in 2006) Hotaru complains that the Boston Celtics have never come close to winning a national championship in almost 30 years. This runs under the assumption that the Celtics would not win between the time the story was written and 2014 when it occurs; however, the Celtics won the NBA Finals in 2008. It can be argued, however, that in the .hack universe, the Celtics never won the 2008 finals.

* [[Info Dump]]: The explanations of how The World works are not subtle.

* [[She's a Man In Japan|She's a Woman in Japan]]: Waterai's assistant, Kamui's player, was mistranslated as being a male in the English release of ''AI Buster''; the lack of Japanese gender-specific pronouns and communication between the author and publisher likely attributed to this. This mistake was corrected in ''AI Buster 2''.

* [[Spell My Name With an "S"]]: Rei Izumi or Rei Idumi? You decide.

* [[Tear Jerker]]: The end of the first volume, without a doubt.

{{quote| '''Lycoris''': {{spoiler|''I am an unwanted child. Even God doesn't want me.''}}}}

* [[Viewers are Morons|Viewers Have Never Played An RPG Before]]: A common criticism regarding how every little basic detail of The World is broken down, from the concept of the NPC to the separate character classes. On the other hand, it's this that could make it a very good starting point for people new to the franchise or those who may not necessarily be familiar with game terminology.

* [[Virtual Ghost]]: The ghost of the church. {{spoiler|Also known as Morgana Mode Gone. Also known as ''God.''}}

* [[White-Haired Pretty Girl]]: Lycoris, as per series norm, with a bonus of red streaks. {{spoiler|[[Alternate Character Interpretation|This could be an outright sign]] that she is not 'pure' enough to become Aura, that she is imperfect and corrupted.}}
