Line 18:
* [[The Ace]]: Aria. She can be a one-girl assault team, able to handle any situation with nary a sweat, catch any criminal, so on and so forth... but [[Lethal Chef|can't cook]].
* [[Action Prologue]]
* [[All Love Is Unrequited]]: Not that Kinji can't choose a girl—itgirl -- it's just his HSS (that turns him into a [[Chivalrous Pervert]]) that makes it harder. Not to mention that said girls have a tendency to try to kill each other using their elite training, magic powers, and weapons... with Kinji always caught in the crossfire.
* [[Almighty Janitor]]: Kinji is just a bottom-of-the-barrel Rank E (in contrast to Aria, a top-dog Rank S), just wants to be normal, attends the information-gathering Inquest Side, and usually gets pushed around a bit by females. But he's just Rank E on official records—amongstrecords -- amongst his friends in Assault Side he is known as a [[Badass]] unofficial Rank S, turns into a ladies' man under HSS, and has an army of [[Action Girl|Action Girls]]s willing to do anything for him.
* [[Alternate Character Reading]]: Abused to the point where it's not even funny. Some examples are the various Butei specilizations, and an entire section in the fifth chapter of Volume 4.
* [[Always Save the Girl]]: Kinji obtains this mindset in HSS.
* [[Amazon Brigade]]: The Ulus Tribe, a 47-woman tribe {{spoiler|of which Reki is a member}}.
** Hotogi Mikos are another case—allcase -- all female, each with weapon and supernatural training on their disposal.
* [[Animal Motifs]]: Aria and cats. Evidence are the Leopons, the random purrs in some scenes involving her, and Aria even growling like a cat whenever she's extremely pissed off. In episode 6 Shirayuki even calls her a "thieving cat" for (supposedly) taking Kinji from her.
* [[Anime Chinese Girl]]: Koko{{spoiler|, all three of them}}
Line 30:
* [[Attractive Bent Gender]]: {{spoiler|1=Kinichi, Kinji's [[Not Quite Dead]] older brother, as Kana. [http://www.baka-tsuki.org/project/index.php?title=File:Hidan_no_Aria_03-291.jpg Quite a beauty, eh?]}}
* [[Audio Erotica]]: {{spoiler|Riko imitates Aria's voice to get Kinji into Hysteria Mode via radio, and succeeds.}}
* [[Badass]]: [[World of Badass|Everyone]] in Butei High, but Kinji gets a special mention. The reason many in Assault Side admire him is due to his performance in the entrance exams—whileexams -- while under HSS, he completed his assigned task—capturingtask -- capturing students in a 14-storey building—inbuilding -- in a few minutes, defeating six teachers in the process. The fact that [[Badass Teacher|the teachers themselves have military experience]] only adds to his reputation.
** [[Badass Normal|Even when not under the influence of Hysteria Mode, he shows remarkably good judgement in combat situations, and is capable of intimidating a large number of thugs]].
* [[Badass Adorable]]/[[Action Girl]]: Any Butei Girl, but Aria, Shirayuki, Reki, Konayuki, Aya, Hina, {{spoiler|Riko and Jeanne}} in particular.
Line 81:
* [[Cold Sniper]]: Reki.
* [[Combat Tentacles]]: Well, ''ponytails'' used with the same articulation of actual tentacles, but that's what {{spoiler|Riko's}} hair technically is.
* [[Crapsack World]]: The series shows some shades of it—Buteiit -- Butei was originally formed as a reaction to skyrocketing crime, featuring teenagers carrying concealed weapons, wearing bulletproof school uniforms, and functioning like police officers.
* [[Cry Cute]]: Aria (as expected of a [[Rie Kugimiya]] role) -- {{spoiler|in one instance, after visiting her incarcerated mother and seeing how the police treat her more like a common criminal than a mere suspect, she was trying to fight back her tears before Kinji, only to burst out crying in the middle of a crowd seconds later; in another instance, she tears up after Kinji (initially) refused to accept her offer to resume their partnership}}.
* [[Curtains Match the Window]]: Riko has this.
Line 125:
* [[Expressive Hair]]: Aria's [[Idiot Hair]].
* [[Expy]]: Aria, to an extent, of [[The Familiar of Zero|every]] [[Shakugan no Shana|flat chested]] [[Hayate the Combat Butler|loli-]][[Toradora!|Tsundere]] role [[Rie Kugimiya]] has voiced, due to her [[Rapunzel Hair]], her [[Zettai Ryouki]], and her [[Tsundere|attitude]].
** Reki can be considered one of [[Emotionless Girl|Emotionless Girls]]s such as [[Haruhi Suzumiya|Yuki Nagato]] or [[The Familiar of Zero|Tabitha]] personality-wise.
*** Teenage girl, pale green hair, [[Emotionless Girl]] behaviour, significant backstory arc to explain this (in the novels); she's very close to being a real [[Rei Ayanami Expy]].
** Jeanne d'Arc the 30th's armor, sword and hairstyle may as well make her a silver-haired, French version of [[Fate/stay night|Saber Lily]]—with -- with [[Ayako Kawasumi|the same voice actress]] to boot, to near-[[Casting Gag]] levels.
** In-series, the main girls—Ariagirls -- Aria, Shirayuki and Riko—haveRiko -- have their first-year expies on the spinoff ''Hidan no Aria AA'' in the form of Akari Amamiya, Hino Raika and Shino Sasaki, respectively.
* [[Eyecatch]]
* [[Eyes of Gold]]: Riko
Line 177:
* [[Girls Love Stuffed Animals]]: Played straight with Aria and "Leopon". When Aria gets scared by thunder, Kinji brings out a Leopon and makes it talk to comfort her.
* [[Girls with Guns]]
* [[Grandma, What Massive Hotness You Have!]]: The landlady of hot springs the gang visits at the OVA—herselfOVA -- herself [[Retired Badass|a retired Butei]] and Tsuzuri-sensei's former partner—lookspartner -- looks way too young to be in her sixties (and is even voiced by [[Yui Horie]]).
* [[Gun and Sword]]: Aria, though not at the [[Guns Akimbo|same]] [[Dual-Wielding|time]].
** And later {{spoiler|Kinji}} mirrors Aria as the {{spoiler|Third Quadra}}.
Line 229:
* [[Lampshade Hanging]]: Kinji throws this around alot in the novels, and funny enough most of them reference to anime/manga scenarios... now the series does have its own Anime and Manga.
* [[Lethal Chef]]: Aria; this comes up in volume 3 where Kinji and Aria infiltrate {{spoiler|Vlad's}} castle and pose as butler and a maid, respectively. Kinji cooks while Aria takes the credit.
* [[Like Cannot Cut Like]]: Shirayuki and {{spoiler|Jeanne's}} [[Absurdly Sharp Blade|Absurdly Sharp Blades]]s cancel each other out.
* [[Little Miss Badass]]: Aria.
* [[Lolicon]]: Kinji's classmates think he's one due to his association with the diminutive Aria.
Line 236:
* [[Luminescent Blush]]: Aria has a lot already.
* [[Mad Bomber]]: {{spoiler|1=KoKo, I-U's mechanical engineer.}}
* [[Magic Knight]]: Jeanne plays this role—sherole -- she wears modified plate mail, wields a zweihander, and can cast ice magic.
* [[Magic Skirt]]: Illustrated in Episode 1 of the anime, even before the opening theme started.
** Averted in episode 6, courtesy of an Aria somersault ([[Panty Shot|and they're white]]).
Line 283:
** Heck, she even calls herself Rikorin.
* [[Noble Demon]]: I-U has shades of this. Some (especially {{spoiler|Sherlock Holmes}}) are this; others... are just plain demons (and in some cases, not just figuratively).
* [[Not Cheating Unless You Get Caught]]: Kinji has to play a soccer game to finish his required credits... [[It's a Long Story]], and since his team—Ariateam -- Aria, Shirayuki, Hina, Gouki, Ryou, {{spoiler|Riko and Jeanne}}—never -- never played well before, they get [[Curb Stomp Battle|manhandled]], until Kinji goes into HSS and tells them in the locker room to do this trope. That's right—Buteiright -- Butei use their elite skills (and magic powers) to win a soccer game.
* [[Not Himself]]: Kinji in Hysteria mode.
** {{spoiler|Then there's "Dark Riko", where she has a strange gaze from her eyes, she uses rough language, and she calls Aria "Holmes".}}
* [[Not So Different]]: Aria and Riko—theyRiko -- they're both short, both are Quadra, both have [[Girlish Pigtails]], and both are fourth-generation descendants of famous men... {{spoiler|Sherlock Holmes and Arsene Lupin}}, respectively.
* [[Not What It Looks Like]]: When Kinji gets into a... [[Accidental Pervert|complicated position]] with a girl or too close to one acutally.
* [[Obfuscating Stupidity]]: Riko.
Line 309:
* [[Playing with Fire]]: {{spoiler|Shirayuki's power. It helps in the fight against [[An Ice Person]], Jeanne d'Arc the 30th.}}
* [[POV Boy, Poster Girl]]
* [[Power Levels]]: Butei have a rank level—forlevel -- for example, Aria is a top-dog Rank S, while Kinji is a bottom-of-the-barrel Rank E (in normal mode, at least -- [[Almighty Janitor|under HSS, however, he has the skills of a Rank S]] [[Up to Eleven|and possibly even higher than that]].
* [[Prehensile Hair]]: {{spoiler|Riko}} is able to manipulate her incredibly long ponytails with the agility of actual limbs, and use them to wield knives in combat.
* [[Rapunzel Hair]]: Aria's hair almost reaches her ankles while in ''ponytails''.
Line 319:
* {{spoiler|[[Same Sex Triplets]]: The Kokos}}
* [[Scars Are Forever]]: The scar on Aria's forehead will always remind her of how close that bus incident was.
* [[Science Versus Magic]]: Averted—ButeiAverted -- Butei High trains students from both technological and supernatural disciplines, and even encourages team-ups between members of either discipline.
* [[Secret Legacy]]: The Touyamas' HSS have different triggers that turn them into ass-kicking machines. Kinji's trigger is [[Deus Sex Machina]]—which -- which he often considers a curse.
* [[She Cleans Up Nicely]]: Reki -- [http://www.baka-tsuki.org/project/index.php?title=File:Aria06_031.jpg normally], and [http://www.baka-tsuki.org/project/index.php?title=File:Aria06_177.jpg with new clothing, makeup, and straightened hair].
* [[She Is Not My Girlfriend]]/[[He Is Not My Boyfriend]]: Kinji and Aria frequently invoke these.
Line 381:
* [[Use Your Head]]: Kinji's secret skill.
* [[Victoria's Secret Compartment]]: Riko, being the adorable tease that she is, gives Kinji her gaming-coupon after opening her shirt and ''extracting said ticket from between her firm and ample breasts.''
* [[Victorious Childhood Friend]]: Shirayuki's ultimate goal with Kinji—graduateKinji -- graduate together with Kinji, marry him and have ''7-8 children, all of whom would look like "Kin-chan-sama"''.
* [[Wacky Marriage Proposal]]: {{spoiler|Reki orders Kinji to marry her with a gun pointed at him, on the roof of the school.}}
** In Volume 10 we get another one.. {{spoiler|Long story short Kinji has a genetic cloned girl who is more or less his sister, who is yandere for him. Trying to get rid of her he comes up with a ploy to get Shirayuki to act as his sister. How does he doe this?? Bring a bouquet of roses, asks Shirayuki Hotogi to become Shirayuki Touyama, and does this on one knee. Note the knee thing was a battle injury not yet healed, and Shirayuki always wanted to marry Kinji.}} Someone [[Pass the Popcorn|get the popcorn.]]
Line 388:
* [[White-Haired Pretty Girl]]: Jeanne d'Arc the 30th.
* [[Yamato Nadeshiko]]: Shirayuki. This is [[Lampshaded]] by Kinji in the novels.
* [[Yandere]]: Shirayuki—earlyShirayuki -- early in episode 2 she displays [[Dull Eyes of Unhappiness]] when she suspected Kinji is with someone else. Upon discovering that [[Pretty Freeloaders|Aria is freeloading with Kinji]], she decides to [[Murder the Hypotenuse|"exorcise" her]] twice (first, by cutting her down with her katana; second, by [[Stealth Pun|blowing hundreds of holes through her]] with an M60). Even when she was forced to take Aria as a bodyguard, she still shows contempt for the diminutive girl.
** And despite the fact they became friends, she'll still chase her down accusing [[Genre Savvy|her of taking the lead.]]
* [[You Gotta Have Blue Hair]]: Reki's hair is green, and Aria's is bright pink. {{spoiler|It is eventually revealed that their unnatural hair colors is a side-effect of contact with Irokane -- Reki had long-term exposure to it as a child; Aria has one embedded in her body in the form of the titular Scarlet Bullet.}}
* [[Zettai Ryouiki]]: Aria, combining this with her [[Girlish Pigtails|twin tails]] and [[Tsundere|attitude]] (as well as [[Rie Kugimiya|the voice]]), makes a '''''Grade S'''''.
** Plus the [[Cute Little Fang|Cute Little Fangs]]s.
*** Possibly to [[Lampshade]] this, Aria's rank in Butei High? Rank S.
