Line 129:

** Also, Luca's vague and often-confusing "therapy sessions" appear to suggest that [[Everyone Is Bi]].

** Dualstalls. That is all.

* [[Humans Are ~~Bastards~~]]: ''Elemia'', at least near the beginning, has plenty of characters, especially in Tenba, who treat Reyvateils as easily replaceable property. When one can't get his Reyvateil partner to sing new magic because his physical abuse doesn't seem to be granting her any more [[Power of Love]] to make new songs, his teammate suggests just getting a new one. {{spoiler|Oddly, this seems to be caused almost entirely by [[Card-Carrying Villain]] Bourd, and his death almost ''instantly'' brings about an end to the [[Fantastic Racism]] (granted, because Bourd was the one ''encouraging'' it and the president of the company known for it was ''violently against it'').}}

** This is the reason for Mir's [[Kill All Humans]] and why her listed dislikes are humans.

*** {{spoiler|[[Restored My Faith in Humanity|She gets over it]] thanks to Lyner which ironically one of the only humans that she still hates because he has ruined her script.}}

Line 267:

* [[Widget Series]]: A textbook example of the trope, as quite a few of the things it parodies are already a bit weird in Japan. In Americans this means the reactions tend to range from bemusement to astonishment to abhorrence.

* [[Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds]]: {{spoiler|Mir's first song, Harmonius, was meant to express her hope for the human race. However, since she was created with the hope of making an emotionless Reyvateil, it led to her being tortured and locked up. Nevermind that to be told "Your song's no good" would be an incredible insult all on its own, considering Reyvateils' songs are born out of their deep, heartfelt feelings. It's no wonder she started hating humans.}}

** {{spoiler|Perhaps more importantly, Mir, while connected to the tower, is keenly aware of the [[Fantastic Racism]] being leveled against Reyvateils, and her inability to do anything else to stop it leads to her (understandable) declaration that all [[Humans Are ~~Bastards~~]]}}

* [[The World Tree]]: The towers seem to be an analogue. There's also the fact that ''tonelico'' is ''toneriko'', the Japanese word for ash tree, which Yggdrasil was in Norse mythology.

* [[Wrench Wench]]: Krusche.
