Aoi Shiro: Difference between revisions

[[File:AoiShiro2.jpg|frame]]

 

 

This time the protagonist is a girl named Osanai Syouko, the new captain of the school kendo team. The kendo team goes to a temple for a training trip, but things start to get strange, especially when Syouko seems to remember coming to the place some time ago...

 

* [[Action Girl]]: Arguably quite a few characters but most prominently Migiwa fits this trope

* [[All Myths Are True]]: ...but don't necessarily matter

* [[Artifact of Doom]]: The <<Sword>>

* [[Ax Crazy]]: The result of using too much power from the cursed sword.

* [[Back-to-Back Badasses]]: Syouko and Migiwa in several routes - including Migiwa's happy end.

* [[Badass Normal]]: Syouko, but especially Munetsugu, an old man with the swordsmanship to behead bulls in a single stroke and take on superpowered oni moving at speeds even ''he'' can't follow. Only twice is he ever defeated in one-on-one combat: the first time is in the climactic fight against {{spoiler|Kaya in her good end}} ({{spoiler|for all of two minutes, after which [[Crowning Moment of Awesome|he continues kicking ass]]}}); the second is in {{spoiler|the Grand Route}} ([[Offscreen Moment of Awesome|entirely offscreen]] {{spoiler|by Kaya, quite quickly}}).

** A non-erotic appearance of this trope is during {{spoiler|Yasumi's Happy End: <s>Shurelia</s>Nami/Yasuhime appears and sings <s>EXEC_SUSPEND/.</s>Umi Tsunami to <s>seal Mir</s>close the <<Gate>>. EXEC_SUSPEND/. and Umi Tsunami are strikingly similar, and both are sung by Noriko Mitose.}}

* [[Dojikko]]: Kaya, of all people. Kendo is pretty much the only thing that she's not clumsy with.

* [[Eldritch Abomination]]: {{spoiler|The Sea God can be considered one; you can even go mad just by looking at him.}}

* [[Evil Sorcerer]]: Ba Rouryuu

* [[Godiva Hair]]: Yasumi and Nami in the bath, {{spoiler|and Yasumi in spirit mode}}. Even Kohaku sports it at one point.

* [[Golden Ending]]

* [[Good Is Not Nice]]: In Yasumi's route mostly, Kohaku has a nasty habit of needlessly killing (directly or indirectly) Syouko, Yasumi, and anyone else who gets between her and the <<Sword>>. (Her way of dealing with a sinister ritual of human sacrifice, for example, is... to kill the sacrifices first.) Turns out in other routes that she's actually {{spoiler|Migiwa's backup}}. Both Kohaku and Migiwa have their [[Kick the Dog]] moments, as well.

* [[Heroic Sacrifice]]: Several endings, like Munetsugu in {{spoiler|Kaya's good end}} and Yasumi in one of her ends.

* [[Hide Your Lesbians]]: Despite advertising and playing up its [[Girls Love]], the game does play itself fairly coy regarding any relationship confirmation. Yasumi's feelings for Syouko are blatant, and all of the main characters have ''some'' suggestive interactions with Syouko, but the closest Syouko ever approaches to romantic attraction is {{spoiler|with Kohaku}} of all people!

* [[Highly-Visible Ninja]]: Lampshaded by Syouko in Migiwa's route.

* [[Hime Cut]]: Ayashiro. She's even nicknamed Hime by the other kendo team members.

* [[Huge Guy, Tiny Girl]]: Kohaku and her familiar {{spoiler|and older twin brother}}, Oniwaka.

* [[I Hate You, Vampire Dad]]: The oni version, with {{spoiler|Kohaku and her foster father Rouryuu, who turned her into an oni}}. Their first meetings always include her complaining about how her faulty body requires such length periods of sleep.

* [[Ill Girl]]: Yasumi; {{spoiler|turns out simple anemia is not the issue}}.

* [[Idiot Ball]]: Not by her own fault, but rather that of the player, Syouko holds this quite often. She wanders around on sinking rocks, runs about in raging storms, and falls into the ocean... many, many times.

* [[Impractically Fancy Outfit]]: Nami's outfit straddles the border between this and [[Pimped-Out Dress|Pimped Out]] Kimono.

* [[Indirect Kiss]]

* [[Intertwined Fingers]]

* [[Little Miss Badass]]: Kohaku

* [[Load-Bearing Boss]]: Matamu's defeat in Nami's route causes the sanctuary to start collapsing, for whatever reason.

* [[The Man Behind the Man]]

* [[Mayfly-December Romance]]

* [[Ms. Fanservice]]: While ''Aoi Shiro'' is a rather tame game and Kaya is much much more than a pair of walking breasts, she never does learn how to button her shirt properly. At the end of Migiwa's route, she even fights Migiwa topless, with only a convenient miasma floating over certain areas.

** Also, Yasumi, who ends up naked or wearing revealing clothing a lot more frequently than one would expect.

* [[Mystical Waif]]: Nami

* [[Naughty Tentacles]]: A rare female on male example is used in Migiwa's horror story.

* [[Nerf Arm]]: That poor wooden sword; not much good against real steel.

* [[The Promise]]: Syouko's promise in Yasumi's route to protect her. It's brought up quite a bit.

* [[Pinky Swear]]

* [[Really Seven Hundred Years Old]]: {{spoiler|Kohaku, Yasuhime, and Nami}}

* [[Red Eyes, Take Warning]]: {{spoiler|Ba Rouryuu}}. Subverted with {{spoiler|Kohaku}}, who we're led to believe is a baddie for quite a while.

* [[Secret Test of Character]]: {{spoiler|Kohaku eggs Syouko (wielding the <<Sword>>) into a duel to see if she is capable of wielding it without losing her sense of self}}.

* [[Sempai-Kohai]]: Syouko and Ayashiro are sempai to Momoko and Yasumi; both are also greatly admired.

* [[Smashing Watermelons]]: According to Momoko a trip to the beach just isn't complete without it.

* [[Spoiler Opening]]: In case you never bothered to watch it, in order (and not comprehensive): {{spoiler|Kaya is not dead, there is a forest of red tsubaki that will scatter, Nami is Yasuhime, Yasumi is Syouko's childhood friend, Nekata killed Kaya, various bad ends, and the appearance of the big bad}}.

* [[Summon Magic]]: [[Goddamn Bats]] and a [[Giant Mook]].

* [[Super-Powered Evil Side]]: {{spoiler|Kaya and Syouko, when completely corrupted by the Sword.}} At least for the former, it's [[Evil Is Sexy|sexy]].

* [[Talking Is a Free Action]] - During Kaya/Munetsugu's final fight in Kaya's route.

* [[Tall, Dark and Bishoujo]]: Kaya and Ayashiro.

* [[Wistful Amnesia]]: Syouko in the normal end {{spoiler|"The Gap in the Shape of You in My Heart" in Yasumi's route}}, though "''[[Big No|despairing]]'' amnesia" is probably a better term.

* [[Wholesome Crossdresser]]: Kohaku ({{spoiler|who in her previous life was a double for her brother}}). Though not quite a [[Bifauxnen]], there were some who (prior to the release of the game) were unsure about her. Considering the kind of [[Girls Love|game it is]], though.

* [[Girls Love]]
