Baka and Test: Difference between revisions

* [[Academy of Adventure]] -- Fumizuki, and it is filthy rich enough to fund the adventures. In one instance, they bought out a hotel to be used as a study training camp. Another is implementing the Summon test system with very expensive technology.

* [[Actor Allusion]] -- Nishimura-sensei looks quite like [[Metal Gear Solid|Solid Snake and/or Big Boss]], and also shares the [[Akio Ohtsuka|same voice actor as them]]. At one point he hides under a cardboard box.

{{quote| '''Fukuhara-sensei:''' We use the unit "cup" to measure the bust size of women. Describe the size of a basic A Cup.<br />

'''Akihisa:''' ''Shimada Minami!''<br />

* [[Freeze Frame Bonus]] -- In a similar fashion to [[Pani Poni Dash]], Class F's chalkboard always has something different written on it with each new camera angle of the scene.

* [[Friction Burn]] -- While trying to get a glorious panty shot of Mizuki, Kouta slides around on the floor so fast that he sets himself on fire. His nosebleed that immediately followed dowsed out the flames.

* [[Funny Background Event]]

** While the members of the main [[Love Triangle]] are discussing where to go on a [[Buffy-Speak|date-like... thing]], there is a fountain in the background shaped like a cupid that spouts water in varying volumes and pressures out of its butt. Also, someone rides by on a unicycle, as well as a cameo by [[Full Metal Panic|Bonta-Kun]].

* [[Grade System Snark]] -- Whoever came up with the entrance exam was either really discriminatory, really [[Deadpan Snarker|snarky]], or some combination of both: Whoever aced the exams was placed in Class A and got the most luxurious dorm rooms and treated with the utmost respect. Whosoever failed the exam immediately was placed in F Class. Those who got placed in ''this'' class were treated like pariahs and given dorm rooms that were literally falling apart at the seams, even down to the cardboard boxes they used as desks and the third-rate pillows (the stuffing was quite clearly spilling out of the seams). Even the ''teachers'' of Class F realized the terrible situation, copping a very bored, sarcastic tone of voice.

* [[Half-Identical Twins]] -- Hideyoshi and Yuuko. The similarities are to the point that Akihisa thought Yuuko was [[Dude Looks Like a Lady|"her"]] brother.

* [[Heroic Blue Screen of Death]] -- Hideyoshi suffers one in a [[Corner of Woe]] in Episode 5 after Mizuki's chiffon cake takes down his teammates.

** Mizuki suffers one after seeing Minami kiss Akihisa in episode 9 of Season 2.

* [[Heterosexual Life Partners]] -- Yuuji and Akihisa, so much so that they make a great team... although some people (especially [[Clingy Jealous Girl|Shouko]]) see something [[Ho Yay|completely different]].

* [[Het Is Ew]] -- Akira forbids Akihisa from engaging in heterosexual romance. This initially comes off as simple overprotection, but then it turns out she's a brazen [[Yaoi Fangirl]]. And the only boy-girl romance she will allow is that [[Brother-Sister Incest|between herself and Akihisa]]. The poor kid is none too pleased.

** A lot of them in the dub. Two of them are the principal ([[Fullmetal Alchemist|Envy]]) and Mr. Nishimura ([[Soul Eater|Sid]]).

** To Clarify:

* [[Hold the Line]] -- During the first ESB, the plan is to hold class 2-E long enough for [[The Big Guy|Mizuki]] to recover her hit points so she can take them out.

* [[Hot Mom]] -- Yuuji's mom as seen in episode 11 of Season 2.

** Parodied. Being left-handed -- especially in the anime, when said hand had been ''superglued to a table for half the episode'' -- doesn't help Akihisa's Physics score.

** Yuuji plays this straight in the battle with Class B by leaking outdated intel to them.

'''Akihisa:''' Er, that includes you sis. }}

** For much of the first season, Akihisa has a single cup of ramen noodles as his only food source simply because he never has any money to buy more. He believes that he can extend his food almost indefinitely by dividing the noodles in half, and then dividing those in half, and so on. By reading the nutrition label, his train of logic is that he can get the full bowl's worth of calories from each individual piece.

{{quote| '''Yuuji:''' ''I want to set her free.''}}

* [[Instant Awesome, Just Add Ninja]] -- Kouta does this from time to time, complete with outfit, usually when Yuuji is planning a strategy against the other classes during their summoner battles. He will usually do intel with cameras/mics, and in one episode, does an "assassination" by forcefeeding one of the rival class student messenger [[Lethal Chef|Mizuki]]'s [[Screwball Serum|special Jello]].

** This becomes a plot point in episode 5-7 of Season 2 when Akihisa is blackmailed on it. He and Yuuji convince the FFF, and later, the entire male student body, to help them find the blackmailer, which basically involves them against a lot of girls and the teachers.

* [[Mission Control]] -- Yuuji often performs this role when Class F is fighting the other classes. Luckily he's pretty [[Badass]] himself, so when some enemy class students try to sneak around Class F's defenses, he soundly stomps the would-be attackers.

* [[Morton's Fork]] -- The first OVA episode has [[Multiple Endings]] for the winner of the popularity contest. No matter who you choose, Akihisa gets hurt and/or makes a fool of himself.

* [[Mooks]] -- Both sides have them in the first ESB.

* [[Red String of Fate]] -- Referenced in the ''Matsuri'' OVA.

* [[Revenge By Proxy]] -- The three 6th grade boys in episode 11 of Season 2 try to beat up Shouko when she insists on stopping their plans to humiliate Yuuji. Unfortunately for them, he [[Berserk Button|happened to be passing by the classroom at the time]]...

* [[RPG Elements]]

** Test scores determine a Summoned Being's attack power and appearance. [[Idiot Hero|Akihisa]] gets a [[Wooden Katanas Are Even Better|wooden sword]] and a [[Badass Longcoat]], while [[The Big Guy|Mizuki]] a [[Lady of War|suit of]] [[Knight in Shining Armor|plate mail]] and a [[BFS]].

* [[Shmuck Bait]] -- The Phosphoru'''s Mon'''oxide sign in Season 2 Episode 4. {{spoiler|Sounds like "summon" so it triggers summoning.}}

** Akihisa turns the tables on Himeji a few moments later by causing her to inadvertently say "summon" as well when she presses him/his avatar on who he likes.

* [[Sibling Yin-Yang]]

** Akhisa Yoshii and his older sister Akira. The former is a consistent underachiever who, given the funds and resources, can cook like a pro; the latter is a Harvard student but has little to no culinary skills.

** Hideyoshi Kinoshita and his twin sister Yuuko. The former has trouble studying, but is a very good drama actor and a genuinely nice boy; the latter is haughty and arrogant, but has the grades to back her up.

* [[Signs of Disrepair]] -- The school wasn't ready to give a room to Class F, so they gave them a temporary place and overlapped the room's original label with a makeshift one. At some point in time, the makeshift label drops off. What does the original say? [[Rank Inflation|Class 2-E]].

* [[Sleep Cute]] -- Shouko and Yuuji in the cinema. [http://notcliche.com/siriru/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/Screenshot-1_22_2010-5_18_11-PM.png He's a bit crispy, though.]

* [[Status Quo Is God]] -- At the end of Season 2, Akihisa is still as dense as bricks regarding feelings for either Mizuki or Minami, and Shouko is still chasing Yuuji around with a marriage certificate. Not that it's necessarily a bad thing of course...

* [[Stealth Hi Bye]] -- Several characters seem to be experts at this, such as Ironman anytime a student's avatar reaches 0 hp, Miharu anytime Minami gets a little too close to Akihisa, Minami herself at times when Mizuki gets too friendly with Akihisa, and Shouko anytime Yuuji is around other women or getting too friendly with a male character.

** Ironman doesn't care if it's the weekend and the students are out of school. If their avatar reaches 0 HP, he '''will''' show up and drag them off to remedial class.

* [[Suicide Attack]] -- Akihisa uses this in their summoner war against Class B. He tells the FFF guys that the Class B rep is dating the Class C rep girl. They go into berserk mode and start bombing themselves in order to take out the much stronger Class B students. It largely works until the Class B rep blackmails Mizuki, Class F's strongest student, into not fighting. But then Akihisa just [[Dungeon Bypass|does something else...]]

** The Summoned Beings are armed chibi versions of their summoners.

** Also happens frequently with the real characters as well.

** Minami shows her love for Akihisa with [[Wrestler in All of Us|wrestling locks]] like the figure four and head lock, to name a few. She practically fits this trope to a T, calling the guy an idiot and being unable to confess. Thus, her image song is aptly named "Tsundere Dou" -- "The Way of the Tsundere".

** Yuuji has moments of this toward Shouko after he saved her in Episode 12.

* [[Transformation Sequence]] -- Calling forth a summon has a lot of flash and flare to go with it, but only Hideyoshi gets a full transformation sequence, which he even lampshades.

* [[Twin Switch]] -- Episode 12 has Hideyoshi posing as Yuuko to stir up trouble. Except for one tiny slip up, he does a shockingly good job of it.
