=== ''[[Ao Oni]]'' provides examples of: ===
* [[Agent Scully]]: Hiroshi to some degree. This is demonstrated most in the third version; even after being chased around by the oni, when he catches up with {{spoiler|everyone else}} and gets asked what's happening, he suggests it's some sort of Halloween costume. {{spoiler|The oni disproves that theory, prompting a later dream where Hiroshi imagines he was right after all}}.
* [[All Just a Dream]]: Used for both {{spoiler|the Scary Surprise Party}} and {{spoiler|a [[Catapult Nightmare]] in the fifth version's ending}}.
Line 24:
* [[Cat Scare]]: Subverted in version 6. At one point the player is in a room when something breaks offscreen, only to see a cat flee the room after knocking over a picture frame. {{spoiler|Seconds later, a monster with [[More Teeth Than the Osmond Family]] and [[Black Eyes of Evil]] runs out from behind a bookcase toward the player.}}
** One of the first events in every game involves Hiroshi hearing a strange crash and going to investigate. {{spoiler|It's just a broken plate.}}
* [[ColourColor-Coded for Your Convenience]]: The Oni's Dark Blue color allows you to see it the millisecond it enters the room.
** In the later games, Takeshi, Mika and Takuro have blond, brunette and red hair respectively, while Hiroshi has silver-white hair. Makes it easy to tell them apart.
* [[Conscience Makes You Go Back]]: In version {{spoiler|1}}, this happens near the end of the game: {{spoiler|Kazuya escapes, but goes back looking for Hiroshi}}.
Line 43:
* [[A Friend in Need]]: Most strongly seen in the first version, where Hiroshi is constantly searching for his friend Kazuya, and {{spoiler|Kazuya ultimately saves him in the end}}.
* [[Gang of Bullies]]: Takuro and his friends act like this in version 1.
* [[Gory Discretion Shot]]: Used in conjuctionconjunction with [[Shadow Discretion Shot]] for one death: {{spoiler|after seeing a shadow pass by a screen door, attempting to enter five times will let Hiroshi actually go in, while the 'camera' stays out in the hallway}}.
* [[Guide Dang It]]: Some of the puzzles reach [[Moon Logic Puzzle|Moon Logic]] levels.
* [[Haunted House]]
Line 52:
* [[Jump Scare]]: The cutscene when you're trapped in the jail could count. But if you really want a Jump Scare, hide in a closet with the monster in the room. {{spoiler|At the end of the game, you get one of these with a horrifying sound to boot.}}
* [[Leaning on the Fourth Wall]]: The monster will, at times, {{spoiler|use the text boxes to its advantage}}. In version 6, {{spoiler|not even the status screen is safe!}}
** The [[South Park]] spoof [[Lampshadeslampshade]]s this when {{spoiler|Takeshi screams at you for talking to him, because he ''knows'' the Ao Oni's been using the text boxes to pop up behind its victims}}.
* [[Let's Split Up, Gang!]]: While splitting up in the first place is involuntary, when Hiroshi actually ''finds'' his friends, they rarely agree to sticking together.
* [[Lovable Coward]]: Takeshi and Mika, but mostly Takeshi. He is found hiding in wardrobes twice throughout the whole game, and is the only person having doubts about going to the mansion in the first place.
