----
{{tropelist|Besides many of the tropes found in ''Hellsing'', ''Shine'' also provides examples of:}}
* [[Aborted Arc]]: Set was supposed to be the main villain in a storyline where the villains killed in the Hellsing animated series would supposedly escape from Hell. It was dumped after [[Word of God]] discontinued the animated series, and more than half the people that would appear in this pseudo-storyline ceased to exist.
** The 'lost storyline' was a plot conceived in the early days of Shine, back when it was still gag-a-day format and Pip had yet to arrive on the scene. It had been supplanted by another plot and never picked up again. Some plot elements from this would be revived during the 'Getting Sick of Fangirls' plot.
** During the rerun of Eagle of Hermes, Erin tells of a few plots that, for one reason or another, never got off the ground, suck as Reseda meeting Helena or the [[Sherlock Holmes]]-[[Pet Shop of Horrors]] crossover.
Line 39:
* [[Dark-Skinned Blond]]: Timothy
** Uh, Integra? Hello?
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: The captain manages this despite being [[The Voiceless]]
* [[Deliberately Monochrome]]: Of the Limited Palette variety: The fangirl arc with [[Jeeves and Wooster (novel)|Jeeves and Bertie]] in it were portrayed in this style, with only the red of vampire eyes showing...and then the fangirls.
{{quote|'''Alucard:''' What ''is'' this thing, and why does it get to be in color?}}
Line 53:
* [[Fan Nickname]]: {{spoiler|1=iJeeves, for the Jeeves I-Jin}}
* [[Filk Song]]: The Hell''Sing'' fillers
* [[Fire and Brimstone Hell]]
* [[Flash Step]]: {{spoiler|1=iJeeves}}
* [[For Science!]]: "What's Up Doc?", a series of Sunday specials featuring Doc, Millennium's mad scientist
Line 64:
** And now Enrico has Bad Angel and [[The Sandman|Delirium]], who filled in for Enrico's good angel while he was lost in her domain. {{spoiler|This, natually, is taking place when Enrico goes batshit insane with power.}}
* [[Guest Strip]]: Used as filler to keep up the update schedule, with the side effect that any [[Series Hiatus]] is limited by the number of strips the readership can be coerced to send in.
* {{spoiler|[[Has Two Mommies]]: Turns out D just ''thinks'' Alucard is his father; he's actually Integra and ''Seras's'' child, and no, neither of them will say how.}}
* <s> [[Hermaphrodite]]</s> [[Hermaphrodite|Intersex]]: {{spoiler|Heinkel. A number of strips describe how Heinkel struggled to find a gender identity.}}
* [[Heroic BSOD]]: Yumiko, after {{spoiler|Heinkel releases her other nine personalities and as they sort themselves out}}
Line 73:
** Later...
{{quote|'''Jeeves:''' All of you are clad in the most garish, unappealing costumes ever to have been assembled from colors not found in nature.
'''Fangirls:''' [[Squee|WHEEEEEEEE OMG!]]
'''Alucard:''' [[Insult Misfire|Hey!]] }}
* [[Jigsaw Puzzle Plot]]: Weaves together plot points from all the major series included, plus a bunch of original twists
Line 88:
* [[Myth Arc]]: Was held off until ''Hellsing'' ended so as not to get [[Jossed]], but is now starting to develop
* [[Nice Hat]]: One fangirl absconded back to her world with Alucard's hat
* [[Not Allowed to Grow Up]]: Lampshaded when Annie claims that because she was born on February 29th, she ages at a quarter of the rate of a normal human (hence why she could have been alive in the 1940s but look no older than thirty). Course, she ''could'' be pulling Seras's leg.
** No, no, that's the canon explanation from the original comic. [[Little Orphan Annie]] is AWESOME!
* [[Only a Flesh Wound]]: [http://hellsing.comicgenesis.com/d/20080411.html subverted]; in spite of her bravado, the character is significantly weakened, and easily knocked out in the next strip
* [[Original Character]]: the vampires Reseda and Marian, most notably, along with some supporting cast in Heaven and Hell
Line 115 ⟶ 113:
** Year 4: Giving the fans autographs (and in the case of the Jackal fangirl, a bullet)
** Year 6: An epic battle between Alucard and Nina
** Year 7: The [[Genre Savvy]] Major giving a fanboy version of his infamous 'I Love War' [[Rousing Speech]].
** Year 8: [[Jeeves and Wooster (novel)|Jeeves]] insulting everyone's clothes. Apparently it was just so Jeeves everyone fangasmed.
* [[Sunday Strip]]: Sometimes plot-relevant, but generally used to present non-storyline features, including Q&As, parodies, filk, and one-shots
Line 123 ⟶ 121:
''' {{spoiler|1=iJeeves}}:''' Indeed. {{spoiler|[slices Marian in to pieces}}] As a tactic, it leaves something to be desired. }}
* [[Time Travel]]
* [[Took a Level Inin Badass]]: Some of the more unconventional crossovers have the characters do this:
** [[Madeline]], who's become a vampire hunter for the French branch of Iscariot
** [[Little Orphan Annie|Annie Warbucks]], who inherited her adopted father's arms dealing business
