Aria the Scarlet Ammo: Difference between revisions

''Hidan no Aria'' (''Aria the Scarlet Ammo'', according to the subtitle, or more accurately ''Aria of the Scarlet Bullet'') is a [[Harem Series]], but also with plenty of action and thrills. Starting as a [[Light Novel]], a manga adaptation has been made, and an anime series adapted by [[J.C.Staff]] was released in [[Spring 2011 Anime|spring 2011]]. It also has a spinoff manga, ''Hidan no Aria AA'', focusing on Akari Amamiya, a first-year Rank-E Butei and Aria fangirl who strives to be on equal footing with her beloved "Aria-sempai".

 

 

'''Note: Spoilers for both the light novel and the anime are here!'''

* [[Defeat Means Friendship]]: {{spoiler|Jeanne and Riko.}}

* [[Defrosting Ice Queen]]: By the end of her visit Kinji managed to turn Konayuki (Shirayuki's [[Annoying Younger Sibling|Annoying Younger Stepsister]]) from a man-hating Butei to another potential love interest. He even managed to make {{spoiler|Reki}} smile, if just for a moment. Now all these would be a good thing, except he has a [[Tsundere]] and a [[Yandere]] ([[Don't Explain the Joke|Aria and Shirayuki, respectively]]) to worry about.

* [[Did Not Do the Research]]: Currently in the light novels Kinji wields a Desert Eagle he inherited from his father, however the only draw back is that because of the recoil he can only use it in Hysteria Mode, which is odd because the Desert Eagle is known for it's extremely light recoil due to the fact that the gun's weight compensates for the force and energy from the bullet leaving the gun.

** Potentially justified by the fact that Kinji's father was an "Armed Prosecutor", one of the few occupations with a license to kill, and it's implied that they are sent against target as dangerous as (or even more so than) Kinji in Hysteria Mode. So it's rather doubtful that a normal Desert Eagle could be used as an accurate benchmark for that particular one.

* [[Magnetic Hero]]: Even without Hysteria Mode, Kinji pretty much got the entire Assault Side (boys and girls alike) admiring him. That, in addition to [[Chick Magnet|attracting]] [[Action Girl|a different sort of followers]].

* [[The Magnificent]]: Kinji, being a [[Badass]] [[Magnetic Hero]], has quite a lot of titles:

{{spoiler|'''Kinichi/Kana'''}}''':''' "My little brother whom I've always loved" }}

* [[Male Gaze]]: All over the place. In particular, there are a ''lot'' of shots of Aria at just around [[Zettai Ryouiki|the waistline]], though they're often preludes to her drawing the [[Guns Akimbo|dual pistols]] holstered there.

** Misaki Nakasorachi ([[Mission Control|Field Coordinator]])

* [[Turn Out Like His Father]]: Subverted Kinji does not want to become this, but circumstances might say otherwise. An example of such is his upgrade to carrying a Desert Eagle Magnum, a .50 handgun his father used during his days as "armed prosecutor".

* [[Ugly Guys Hot Daughter]]: {{spoiler|1=Vlad Dracula's daughter, [http://www.baka-tsuki.org/project/index.php?title=File:Aria09_003-005.jpg Hilda].}}

* [[Ungrateful Bastard]]: {{spoiler|Kinichi was (supposedly) killed saving average citizens from a sinking ship. However, instead of treating him like the hero he was, because they didn't want to be sued, the company that owned the ship said the sinking was mainly Kinichi's fault, and that he was a horrible Butei, forcing Kinji to mull leaving Butei; fortunately for him Aria's presence changed his mind.}}
