Line 3:
Set in a futuristic Tokyo, mankind has managed to overcome pollution doing so with the help of Mystickers, stickers that when traced can activate the element they represent. These stickers are mostly used as natural power sources for everyday things, like heating a stove or powering automobiles. Using them on yourself, however, is highly dangerous...unless you're a Blazer - a person that can put Mystickers on themselves without harm and wield their power.
One such Blazer is Daichi, a teenager living with his older brother, Ginga, after their parents died in an auto accident. His life was pretty uneventful (save for being part of a small gang) until one day he helps save a man being chased by a gang of thugs. However the leader of said gang manages to find Daichi and in the ensuing fight reveals that his brother is actually part of a secret force known as Guardians, who protect the city from a evil group known as Qilin Realm who seek to use mystickers for destructive means.
Ginga unfortunately ends up getting transported to another dimension while protecting Daichi, but manages to leave Daichi a Mysticker that can endlessly generate electricity. Soon Daichi meets Kuroki, a friend of Ginga and the aforementioned man who was being chased, who offers to show him the world of the Blazers - and thus, Daichi's adventure begins from there.
Line 13:
=== The Manga provides the following examples of: ===
* [[Aloof Big Brother]]: Subverted in that Ginga only acted that way to protect Daichi from the Blazer's lifestyle.
* [[An Ice Person]]: Akashikibu.
* [[Badass Normal]] - the Section III Division Head, who can sense potential Blazers, as well as her brother, a genius computer-[[Otaku]] who can ''type with his toes''.
Line 34:
* [[Kick the Dog]]: In addition to an actual dog{{spoiler|-girl; she gets better}}, {{spoiler|Akashikibu finally [[Defrosting Ice Queen|defrosts]] just as she gets frozen solid. And then Quilin Realm mocks her by covering her face with the dog-girl's mask, and finally blows her up for good measure.}}
* [[Nerd Glasses]]: The Division Head's brother, who's [[Blind Without'Em]] (he's practically a [[Shout-Out]] to [[Ranma ½|Mousse]], at least to this troper). He hates wearing them because they make him look like an otaku, but they're just icing on the cake.
* [[Not a Game]]: Being a Blazer Guardian.
* [[People Jars]]: Ginga's currently stuck inside one at Quilin Realm HQ.
* [[Power Fist]]: In the DS game, the main character Shiro's first (and signature) Arms Mysticker is a giant gauntlet named "Valiant".
Line 45:
** Akashikibu's [[Freudian Excuse]]: {{spoiler|After her one-hit-wonder actress mother dies after she (Murasaki) overhears some jerks call her that, she became obsessed with preserving "shine": if you can't "shine" forever, you'll be forgotten. When she's defeated, just before she she's overtaken by the ice, she finally remembers her mother's last words: "My real 'shining moment' was giving birth to you." And then she's frozen. And mocked. And blown up.}}
* [[Token Mini-Moe]]: [[Likes Older Women|Yuyuka]]
* [[Training
* [[Trickster Mentor]]
* [[Verbal Tic]]: The old guy who echoes the last sound in a sentence, EG: "That's amazing-ing-ing! How do you do that-at-at?!", which might have something to do with the fact that he's always shivering.
* [[What the Hell, Hero?]] : See [[Breaking the Fourth Wall]] above
* [[Whip It Good]]
* [[You Have Failed Me...]] {{spoiler|Akashikibu gets it twice - first from her mysticker, then from the Quilin Realm.}}
