D.N.Angel: Difference between revisions

=== ''D.N.Angel'' provides examples of: ===

* [[Action Prologue]]: The first episode of the anime opens on a fight between Krad and Dark, {{spoiler|that is actually the final climactic action sequence of the last episode}}.

* [[Allergic to Love]]: All right, so Daisuke doesn't get ''ill'', per se, but he certainly has a genetic condition that makes loving someone a pain in the neck.

* [[Disguised in Drag]]: Satoshi crossdresses to distract Dark during a heist. He's ''very'' convincing, and Dark nearly kisses him before he realizes who he's talking to. ([[Ho Yay]] / [[Foe Yay]]?)

* [[Disturbed Doves]]: Occurs when The Second Hand of Time/{{spoiler|Freedert}} tells Daisuke that {{spoiler|his paintings might have the ability to prolong their life.}}

* [[Dragged Into Drag]]: Daisuke arrived to school late because he had a cold, and learned that he was voted to play the ''female'' lead in the school play. Not only that, but Satoshi plays his love interest, also leading to much [[Ho Yay]]. And it didn't help that even his ''own girlfriend'' thought that he was cuter than her.

* [[Dramatic Irony]] - This is responsible for an enormous chunk of the suspense in the story, as the two-person [[Loves My Alter Ego|love triangle]] causes a great deal of problems for Daisuke.

* [[Good Wings Evil Wings]]: Inverted, just like most of the dark/light tropes with Dark and Krad.

* [[Gotta Catch Them All]]: Dark's goal (and the Niwa's) is to steal the pieces of art created {{spoiler|by the Hikaris}}.

* [[Happily Married]]: Daisuke's parents.

* [[Hooked Up Afterwards]] : Heavily hinted at in the anime. In the climax, Daisuke tells Satoshi he can't {{spoiler|kill himself to destroy Krad}} because he still has to find the person he'll fall in love with. At the end, Satoshi and the losing Harada sister then exchange glances and quiet smiles with each other.

* [[Hot Shoujo Dad]]: Kosuke

* [[Red Eyes Take Warning]]: Argentine. His eyes also lack depth/highlights most of the time, making him even creepier. {{spoiler|Subverted slightly, in the fact that he never meant to harm Risa, he just wanted to get a heart so he could 'fix' Quolia. D'awww.}}

* [[Redheaded Hero]]: Daisuke, although he doesn't fit most of the stereotypes of redheads.

* [[Remember the New Guy]]: In the most recent manga chapter, some guy pops up out of nowhere in the classroom and acts as if he and Daisuke know each other pretty well, on a suffix-less first-name basis even. Daisuke doesn't know who the hell he is either, until... [[Fake Memories|suddenly he does]]. Eeriness ensues.

* [[Returning the Handkerchief]]: Yet another [[Ho Yay]] moment for Satoshi and Daisuke.

* [[Ship Tease]]: Everyone tends to get their share of it. Daisuke/Risa, Daisuke/Riku, Daisuke/Satoshi, Dark/Risa, Dark/Riku, Satoshi/Risa, etc etc.

* [[Shonen Hair]]: Nearly ''all'' of the male cast. In fact, it'd be easier to list who ''doesn't'' fall under this trope.

* [[Sibling Triangle]]

* [[Slipped the Ropes]]: Dark and Riku have been captured and handcuffed because Dark surrendered the moment they were confronted. Riku is furious and begins yelling at Dark, at which point he reveals he has easily escaped.

{{quote| "You were saying...something about handcuffs?"}}

** {{spoiler|[[Snow Means Death]]: When you find out the ''original'' name of "Ice and Snow."}}

* [[Speech Bubbles]]: In Tokyopop's release of the manga, Dark's speech is printed in a fancy, curly font, while Daisuke's speech bubbles are black when Dark is the one in control.

* [[Stoic Spectacles]]: Satoshi.

* [[Super Powered Alter Ego]] - Dark and Krad

* [[Tsundere]]: Riku. Emiko also appears to have been somewhat like this when she was younger, as well.

* [[Twin Switch]]: Used in an episode of the anime.

** At one point in the manga, Daisuke has a date with one of the Harada twins, while Dark has a date with the other... ''at the same time''. The interesting part is that {{spoiler|Riku, the Harada twin meeting up with Daisuke, ''deliberately'' set it up this way to see if he was connected to Dark in any way}}.

** {{spoiler|Purposely done in a recent chapter between Daisuke with Riku and Risa. Riku purposely rejects Daisuke to a school masked ball because she knows Risa will be alone at the dance as she cannot ask Dark to go, so Risa solves it by both of them being Daisuke's dates (while switching as each other)}}.

* [[Valley Girl]]: Mio Hio in the English dub. This is, of course, most likely to accentuate the "American-ness" of the character, as the original dub did this by having her sprinkle her speech with English.

* [[Wham Episode]]: Stage 4 Volume 14 could probably count as one, seeing as {{spoiler|the thing Daisuke's been trying to avoid--Riku finding out about him and Dark--has just come to a head with Riku seeing both him ''and'' Satoshi transform right in front of her.}} This [[Wham Episode]] also happens to be the end of Part 1, and a [[Cliff Hanger]] to boot.

** Fortunately, the name of the town itself is "Azumano," which can literally translate to "Eastern Japan(ese)." It's probably in a generic location in Eastern Japan, then (for example, Azumano #2 Junior High = Eastern Japanese #2 Junior High).

* [[Winged Humanoid]]: Dark and Krad.
