Line 38:
* [[Class Trip]]: There's a major arc that takes place during a class trip, where Daisuke tries to steal a piece of art on a lighthouse while there. Things don't go as planned since Satoshi has attended the class trip as well. In the manga, this is also when Krad makes his first appearance.
* [[Cliff Hanger]]: The two big breaks--the one after Volume 11 and this most recent one (which will probably be the end of Volume 15)--come to mind.
* [[CPR: Clean, Pretty, Reliable]]: [[Averted]] both times. In the first, it cuts away just as Satoshi is about to perform the actual act, and only cuts back when "Daisuke" is turned back into With. The second time, {{spoiler|Satoshi is about to give CPR to an unconscious Daisuke, but then Dark takes over his body, wakes up hacking and coughing, and proceeds to wonder [[Breaking the Fourth Wall|what would happen if he had woken up one panel later.]]}} [[Ho Yay|Damn]] [[Ship Tease|you]], Sugisaki.
* [[Creepy Cool Crosses]]: Satoshi often wears clothing with cross motifs, and Krad also wears a cross accessory hanging from his ponytail.
* [[Crucified Hero Shot]]: Used in the anime during one of Satoshi's transformation scenes.
Line 55:
* [[Doting Parent]]: Daisuke's mother, Emiko. For some definitions of Doting.
* [[Dropped Glasses]]: There's several moments where Satoshi drops his glasses in the series. Since [[Purely Aesthetic Glasses|he doesn't need them to see]] this isn't so bad, right? {{spoiler|Except that it's hinted the glasses are somehow keeping Krad at bay, and Satoshi often gets sick, faints or succumbs to Krad when he doesn't have them on.}}
* [[Early
* [[False Start]]: Daisuke tries to tell Risa his feelings in the first episode of the anime, but loses his nerve at the last minute. (The manga version has him successfully give her a love letter, but she rejects him because he's not her type.)
* [[Feather Flechettes]]: Used mostly in the anime, by Krad.
Line 63:
* [[Forceful Kiss]]: Dark kisses Riku to stop her from screaming when he accidentally makes a pit stop in her room. Of course, this makes Riku think of Dark as a pervert (and, to be fair, she's not exactly ''wrong'').
* [[Foreign Language Title]]
* [[Four Eyes, Zero Soul]]: What Satoshi appears to be at first, until the reason ''why'' he's so cold is revealed.
* [[Gecko Ending]]
* [[Gentleman Thief]]: This is Dark to the very core, if you look at it. He only goes after the hardest to get targets, which are very rare themselves, AND he alerts the police. All core elements of the trope.
* [[The Glasses Gotta Go]]: Risa isn't attracted to Satoshi at all, even though the other girls all adore him. That is, until she realizes that he's cute without his glasses.
* [[The Glorious War of Sisterly Rivalry]]: Riku & Risa
* [[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}}.
* [[Green-Eyed Monster]]: Later in the series, Riku starts to be {{spoiler|jealous of Risa, because she starts to love Daisuke. Even after they get together, she has doubts.}}
Line 94:
* [[Mind Control Eyes]]: Used constantly whenever a character is under a spell.
* [[Missing Mom]]: Rio Hikari, Satoshi's mother. {{spoiler|According to Kosuke, she died 15 years ago, while Satoshi says she 'died young'.}}
* [[Muggle and Magical Love Triangle]]: Risa rejects Daisuke's advances, regarding him as too ordinary. Instead she [[Two
* [[Mukokuseki]]: There's ''quite'' a few strange hair colors on display, which combines with the setting to be downright surreal--all of the characters have Japanese names but the town looks European, in fact looking at [http://www.oddee.com/item_96554.aspx this article (town no. 5)], the town is based on the Italian town of Manarola.
* [[Names to Run Away From Really Fast]]: Subverted with Dark. Possibly played straight with Krad.
Line 114:
* [[Purely Aesthetic Glasses]]: Satoshi doesn't need his glasses to see, and admits it to people when his glasses fall off or are broken.
* [[Rapunzel Hair]]: Krad's hair is incredibly long in the back.
* [[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.
* [[Red Oni, Blue Oni]]: Daisuke, has red hair and eyes and is energetic and friendly. Satoshi has blue hair and eyes and is calm, intelligent, and mature to the point that it's a little creepy for his age.
Line 143:
* [[Spell My Name With an "S"]]: Daisuke's cute familiar is called Wiz in Tokyopop's manga translation, and With in ADV's dub of the anime.
* [[Stoic Spectacles]]: Satoshi.
* [[Super
* [[Tarot Motifs]]: Used in the [[Ending Theme]] of the anime.
* [[Teen Genius]]: Satoshi finished college by the time he was thirteen. The reason he returned to middle school was so he could "get closer to [Daisuke]." Hey, we told you there was a lot of [[Ho Yay]] in this show.
Line 153:
** {{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.
* [[Where the Hell Is Springfield?]]?: The setting appears European, but the characters have Japanese names. One of the audio commentaries on the English DVDs has [[Vic Mignogna]] and Kevin Corn expressing confusion on where the series is actually set.
** 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).
