Line 40:
* [[But Not Too Foreign]] - Erika Murasaki in ''Plus Situation/Plus Communication'' is first introduced as the [[Ojou|"First Princess of a Royal Family in Eastern Europe"]], but knows enough about Japanese customs to refuse addressing (the more senior) Yoshiyuki as Sempai after he [[Thanks for The Mammary|accidentally groped her]]. {{spoiler|She is later revealed to be an [[Alien Girl]], and also the princess of her planet as well, her real name being Erika Focus Light}}
* [[But Now I Must Go]] - {{spoiler|Done multiple times in the second season, when Yoshiyuki's friends begin to forget who he is. The best example in the show is when Yoshiyuki actually disappears in front of Otome.}}
* [[But Thou Must!]] - Referenced and parodied (though you actually aren't given a choice box) in one of Otome's scenes, where she asks Yoshiyuki over and over in exactly the same way, and he mentally compares her to a princess who's been captured by a dragon.
* [[Butt Monkey]] - Wataru
* [[Call Back]] - The second season episode entitled "Sakuranbo and Onii-chan," and Junichi's description of Mako, Moe, Miharu, Yoriko, and Kotori. Nemu is mentioned once by name.
Line 68:
* [[Deadpan Loli]] - The trope may have been renamed, but Anzu clearly fits this mold a bit more closely due to not actually being snarky, just deadpan and something of a troll.
* [[Debut Queue]] - Done very obviously and with an appropriate [[Establishing Character Moment]] for each heroine in the game.
* [[Deceptively -Human Robots]] - The Miaki and Mifuyu robot lines are not as human as they look. The movements are wrong and they have inhuman mannerisms, though not in a creepy way. Some details from Minatsu's route more or less confirm that this is intentional as people do not like robots that are too human.
* [[Deep-Immersion Gaming]] - Episode 8 of the first season. Minatsu is playing a zombie shooting game, and Yoshiyuki puts a pair of virtual reality glasses on her. The next scene shows her in a dark, decrepit forest, which freaks her out, particularly when a zombie is heard behind her in the game.
* [[Demoted to Extra]] - Nanaka of all people, has the least screentime among Yoshiyuki's friends in the second season. Also Maika Mizukoshi, who was deeply involved with Yoshiyuki due to Minatsu, is hardly seen in the second season.
Line 95:
* [[Fate Worse Than Death]] - {{spoiler|Sakura Yoshino's fate in the [[Visual Novel]] epilogue: She is doomed to wander the land for as long as she lives (which is practically forever), and she has lost all her memories.}}
** {{spoiler|YMMV. We see her being spoken to by someone else, having clearly lost her memories. In fact, this may be considered a bittersweet ending for her; While she doesn't remember Yoshiyuki anymore, the original game implied that she didn't grow older because she fell in love with Junichi but couldn't settle down with him. No longer remembering him nor tied to the past, she may be able to fall in love with someone else, grow older and have a family.}}
* [[Finger -Suck Healing]]: Yoshiyuki does this to Yume in the anime episode 7 of Da Capo II Season 2.
** Also happens in the game, during one of Yume's [[Lethal Chef|clumsy attempts at cooking]].
* [[Foe Yay]] - Suginami and Mayuki really seem to enjoy being enemies.
Line 124:
* [[Identical Grandson]]: Suginami in this series looks and sounds suspiciously like the Suginami from the first [[Da Capo]].
* [[I Just Want to Be Normal]] - {{spoiler|The reason Otome made her and Yoshiyuki forget about their childhood promise. Later in her story, she's practically screaming this as she withers the cherry tree and later on again when Yoshiyuki fades away as a result.}}
* [[IllI'll Be in My Bunk|I'll Be In My Bunk]]- One possible interpretation for a scene with Yoshiyuki, Wataru and Koko where Yoshiyuki puts the image of Koko squirming in embarrassment into Wataru's head, who suddenly has to leave to take care of something. When he returns after Koko has already left, he basically comments about how he can't control his sex drive. How else are you supposed to interpret that?
* [[Image Song]] - Six have been released for Koko, Minatsu, Nanaka, Anzu, Yume, and Otome.
* [[Important Haircut]] - {{spoiler|Nanaka cuts her hair very short to symbolize being heartbroken after being rejected in Koko's route. The significance isn't explained to the English speaking audience until the Sakura epilogue with a comment by Junichi when he's cutting ''her'' hair.}}
Line 168:
* [[Puppy Dog Eyes]] - Otome is fond of using these on Yoshiyuki.
* [[The Quiet One]] - Anzu.
* [[Ret -Gone]] - {{spoiler|Yoshiyuki in Otome and Yume's routes temporarily}}
* [[Ridiculously -Human Robots]] - Minatsu remarks in irritation that she really doesn't need functions like muscular soreness or some sort of artificial virginal blood.
* [[Robot Girl]] - Minatsu.
* [[Sadistic Choice]] - {{spoiler|Otome eventually has to choose between withering the sakura tree, causing Yoshiyuki to disappear as his existence was a result of a wish it granted, or allow it to live and continue granting malicious wishes that harmed the people of the island.}}
Line 175:
* [[Selective Obliviousness]] - After awhile in Nanaka's route, a few people call Yoshiyuki out on not noticing [[Love Triangle|the situation]], leading the the impression that he really just doesn't want to have to choose between the two or think about it at all. It's debatable, though, due to later events in the story.
* [[The Seven Mysteries]] - One event in the game features a [[Test of Courage]], based on these mysteries.
* [[Shout -Out]] - The minor character [[South Park|"Garrison-sensei"]]. [[Word of God|According to the translators of the game,]] yes, there really was a character directly referencing [[South Park]] in the [[Visual Novel]].
** To be specific, in the original Japanese versions, his name was obscured with a random string of kanji that made no literal sense whatsoever (think transliteration of foreign languages into Chinese, or the stuff that was pulled in Musha Gundam). The trick here is that when said string is read out loud, [[Mondegreen|it SOUNDS like "Garrison"]].
* [[Show Within a Show]] - Anzu's play.
Line 185:
** Arguably Yuzu is one too.
* [[Student Council President]] - Otome.
* [[Super -Deformed]] - The map choices for lunch time and after school have [[Super -Deformed]] pictures of the girl whose event will be at that location, averting one particular [[Guide Dang It]] from [[Da Capo|the first game.]]
* [[Suspiciously Specific Denial]] - Minatsu lies a lot, but is absolutely ''terrible'' at it, leading straight into this. Yoshiyuki eventually gets around her tsundere attitude by phrasing any requests or invitations in a way that her pride can quickly accept.
* [[Suspiciously Vague Age]] - Just like the prequel, the cast is 13-15 for the middle schoolers and no older than 17 with Otome. So they don't even mention what kind of school they attend, a middle school.
Line 214:
* [[Utsuge]] - And how!
* [[Volleying Insults]] - Yoshiyuki's failed attempts at clearing up his bad first impression with Erika eventually degenerates to this.
* [[Wham! Episode]] - The episode where it's revealed that {{spoiler|Yoshiyuki was the result of a wish made by Sakura 10 years prior to the beginning of the series.}}
* [[What Kind of Lame Power Is Heart, Anyway?]] - Subverted by Yoshiyuki's magical sweets making ability, as mentioned under [[Heart Is an Awesome Power]]. On the other hand, he's pretty down on his ability to see other people's dreams, since from his perspective it gets in the way of having restful sleep, not to mention that he's terrible at determining whose dreams he's seeing, especially when they're being had by people very close to him and giving away important information about their back story.
* [[What Measure Is a Non-Human?]] - Maya harbors hate for all robots, because {{spoiler|her father, who developed the MU type, committed suicide due to him being pestered by the [[Unpleasable Fanbase|unpleasable consumers]] of his robots.}}
* [[White-Haired Pretty Girl]] - Anzu.
