Blog Cast: Difference between revisions

Can be read [http://www.gamespot.com/users/Zatchbellfan here!]

----

 

* [[Abusive Parent]]: Hank's father, in all sorts of ways.

* [[Beauty, Brains, and Brawn]]: The main trio in Evolution is a mixed gender version. Miyu (Beauty), Kenji (Brains) and Power (Brawn).

* [[Beyond the Impossible]]: It's a written series and it STILL has openings, endings and insert songs!

* [[Big Good]] / [[Big Bad]]: Gold Psy plays both roles. He starts off as the [[Big Bad]], presenting Power with all his enemies, however, it's revealed he's doing this for a reason. See [[Break the Cutie]] below.

* [[Boobs of Steel]]: Shinobu.

* [[Cloning Blues]]: Daisuke, at first.

* [[Compilation Movie]]: Rewrite, to some degree. New content is added, but the five movies are just abridged versions of the series.

** The Blog Cast itself is basically a large crossover between loads of anime, only mostly centering around [[Ninja Nonsense]] and [[Fullmetal Alchemist]].

* [[Composite Character]]: Hank in Rewrite is a combination of his main series self and Balthor.

* [[Evil Is Hammy]]: About the only thing fun about reading Frank's lines are seeing how hammy they can get.

* [[Evil Knockoff]]: Gold Psy's prefered form looks like an older, darker Power. {{spoiler|Subverted. Gold Psy isn't evil to begin with.}}

* [[Face Heel Turn]]: {{spoiler|Hank.}}

* [[Family-Unfriendly Death]]: Glider dies from a grenade shoved down his throat.

* [[Getting Crap Past the Radar]]: Frank's last name is Fuchs. Power actually lampshades this.

* [[Good Is Not Nice]]: Karame, after his Heel Face Turn.

* [[Grandfather Paradox]]: At the end of Season 1, it's revealed the original "Daisuke" is the son of his clone.

* [[Graying Morality]]: Invoked by Gold Psy to get Power to stop holding back.

** Gold Psy himself has the deaths of his brother and the Lai and Shikira from his world.

* [[My Name Is Inigo Montoya]] / [[Shut UP, Hannibal]]: When Frank asks Power who he is, saying he shouldn't exist, Power replies with this.

* [[Neutral Good]]: Daisuke, Shinobu and Kaede.

* [[New Era Speech]]: Inverted! Frank makes speeches about how he's gonna change things to how they were when he was a child.

* [[Oblivious to Love]]: Power and Kaede were unaware the other had any feelings for them until Episode 11 of Season 4.

* [[Older Sidekick]]: Played with. Daisuke was 17 physically before Power was, but was only made four years prior to the first season.

** Taken to the extreme in Rewrite. While everyone else has parts of their names revealed, when Power delcares who he is, he doesn't even bother with his real name anymore, going solely by Power of the Double Roads, treating this as his full name. Water Bug, likewise, doesn't reveal his name, however, as opposed to Power, he doesn't consider it his REAL name.

** WaterBug's has been revealed to be {{spoiler|Kenji Mizubagu.}} Similarly, Power's has been revealed to be {{spoiler|Power Hashiba. He changed his first name and took his wife's last name.}}

* [[Power Trio]]: Power, Daisuke and Shinobu {{spoiler|after Kaede's death.}}

* [[Precocious Crush]]: Miyu Matsumoto.

* [[Red Oni, Blue Oni]]: Power and Daisuke take turns as both. Usually Power is more wild and crazy, while Daisuke tries to stay mature and serious. However, the roles switch on the battlefield, where Daisuke fights more agressively while Power tends to take his time and think up new ways to defeat his opponent.

* [[Robot Girl]]: Yume and Ai.

* [[Sequel Hook]]: ZBF just refuses to end a season without some mystery for next season. Season 1 ended with Power trapped on the other side of the Gate and the question of who brought Magnesteel to life. Season 2 ended with the question of who Gold Psy was. Season 3 kept this question and raised another with Lemmy's Warning. And finally, despite the series ending, ZBF added in a mysterious figure running around with a Philosopher's Stone. However, ZBF has said this will be answered in the new series: Blog Cast Evolution.

** Miyu in the first episode of Evolution, to Power's shock.

* [[She's Got Legs]]: Jerrica.

** Glider eventually becomes a large shout out to ''[[Doctor Who]]''. He travels through time, his sister's name is Sarah, his girlfriend's name is Jane Smith and his own middle name comes from the Tenth Doctor's actor [[David Tennant]].

** In one episode, after Daisuke punches Power too hard, we get this:

** Rewrites 4 and 5 are filled with ones to Gurren Lagann, more so than the main series, but two stick out.

** Power {{spoiler|creating a blade on his arm from blood}} and shortly before that, Power utters this line:

* [[Shrug of God]]: It's left to the reader if {{spoiler|Gold Psy is Power's father or not.}}

* [[Signature Move]]: Power's Automail Break.

** Miyu in the first episode of Evolution.

* [[Stylistic Suck]]: The Frank special. Being told from Frank's point of view, the titles of the blogs and the time skips have more and more mistakes to reflect Frank's growing insanity and hatred at the way things played out. Exaggerated during the final battle, where all the indicators of time skips are in all capital letters followed by several exclamation points, as though they were shouted.

* [[Team Dad]]: Onsokumaru to the First Generation, until Season 3. Daisuke took up the role following that. Power was basically the Team Dad to the Second Generation.

* [[Technical Pacifist]]: Power! He's the third strongest character (only behind two who existed to killed), but tends to only show off said status when backed into a corner. Additionally, he avoids killing anyone he identifies as "human", while allowing himself to kill anyone he identitfies as a "monster", despite never going through with it. He seems to fight solely to stop those he opposes from harming anyone else. When he believes he knocked [[Complete Monster|Frank]] out, he declares the fight over, and when Frank proves to still be able to move, defeats him by {{spoiler|crippling his legs and one of his arms}}.

* [[Unreliable Narrator]]: Power, when acting as the narrator, takes alot of artistic liberties.

* [[Unstoppable Rage]]: Frank, during the final battle, becomes so enraged with Power he rips off the poor guy's Automail and beats his face with it.

** Subverted in Rewrite. Unlike the {{spoiler|Stagnation Special where we saw Frank saving a bird as a child, in Rewrite, we see a young Frank brutally attacking his younger sister.}}

* [[Villainesses Want Heroes]]: Lai's crush on Daisuke. She even plans to hypnotize him if he doesn't return her feelings.
