Line 18:
*** Think it's already dramatic enough? {{spoiler|Wrong! Maamu didn't take this confession very well and rejected Pop right off the bat, only to feel crushed by guilt later. (The way she treated him, the way Pop's odd behavior suddenly made sense, and the way she kept asking him for advice about her crush on Hyunkel... So yeah.}}
**** Later, having regained their composure and finished their respective battles against the Shinei Kidan, Pop {{spoiler|asks Maamu to not worry about him, since he already knew she loved Hyunkel and so he wishes them luck and he will do his best to be worthy of Merle's love.}} Maamu interrupts him, asking Pop for some time to sort her own feelings about him so she could give him an honest answer about accepting his love or not. {{spoiler|In the end, their relationship is left with [[No Romantic Resolution]]}}
* [[Art Evolution]] - Starts off looking like a [[
* [[The Atoner]] Hyunkel.
* [[Back From the Dead]] Crocodine; {{spoiler|Aban, who sure could have fooled us}}. Actually due to a [[Deus Ex Machina]] amulet.
Line 34:
* [[Break the Cutie]] Baran; Hadler and Vearn's numerous attempts at making Dai snap and/or join their ranks.
* [[Can't Catch Up]] mild subversion: While it's true that Dai's friends can't catch up with him, if it weren't for them he would have died ''every single time'' he battled one of the six generals.
* [[Cast From Hit Points]] Several techniques work this way, the most notable being Megante, [[Taking You
* [[The Chessmaster]] Hadler and Vearn; so very [[Lampshade|Lampshaded]].
* [[Changed My Mind, Kid]] Pop leaves Dai and Maamu when they go fight the big bad Crocodine, then shows up in the nick of time to help when they're in trouble.
Line 58:
* [[The Dragon]] Hadler is a textbook example. Turns out, so is {{spoiler|Myst-Vearn}}.
* [[Mr. Fanservice]]: Baran. Also Hyunkel, & {{spoiler|Killvearn.}}
* [[Everything's Better
* [[Evil Counterpart]] Hyunkel, before his [[Heel Face Turn]]
** Baran also gives a fairly good idea of what Dai could become if he grew disillusioned with humankind.
Line 96:
* [[Heroic Sacrifice]] Many characters including Aban; {{spoiler|Pop}}; {{spoiler|Baran}}; {{spoiler|Merle}}; {{spoiler|Hadler}}; at the very end, {{spoiler|Dai himself, though it's strongly hinted at that he somehow survived since his sword still shines}}.
** Some of them actually survived the experience, like {{spoiler|Aban}}; {{spoiler|Pop}} and {{spoiler|Merle}}
* [[Hoist
* [[Hopeless Boss Fight]] The first encounter of Dai's group with Demon Lord Vearn turned this way.
* [[Humans Are Bastards]] Played with. Most people and even demons and beasts turn out to be great folks deep inside (sometimes after their [[Heel Face Turn|HeelFaceTurns]]). On the other hand, Baran had such a horrible experience with human beings (save for Soara) that he ended up going on a rampage.
Line 106:
* [[Killed Off for Real]] {{spoiler|Baran}} and his team {{spoiler|except Laharlt, who returns for the final battle arc}}; {{spoiler|Hadler}} and his team {{spoiler|except Hym, who's believed to inherit Hadler's soul}}.
* [[Large Ham]] Crocodine; Hadler and Baran, in a more edgy and cynical style.
** Crocodine is a level above even the others; if Dai no Daibouken was ever made into an anime, he would have to be voiced by [[Brian Blessed
*** It was made into anime. Unfortunately, it was canceled before the story finished. No Brian, although. Link to opening http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=[[R Jt H 7 p Ouq Rk]]
* [[Laser-Guided Amnesia]] Happens briefly to Dai during the Baran's arc
Line 119:
* [[Monster Clown]] Kill-Vearn reaches [[Hunter X Hunter|Hisoka]] levels.
* [[Moral Myopia]]: Galdandy of [[Quirky Miniboss Squad|Baran's Dragon Riders]] is as ruthless of a monster as you can expect from the villains. He probably wouldn't care about killing someone close to you, [[Berserker Tears|but]] [[Unstoppable Rage|kill]] [[Morality Pet|his dragon]] [[What Measure Is a Mook?|Ruudo]], you're dead... and[[Discussed Trope|pointing out how many people the dragon has killed]] will not help your case, Pop.
* [[Moses in
* [[Nakama]] the disciples of Aban -- Dai, Pop, Maamu and Hyunkel -- plus Crocodine and Leona.
* [[Obfuscating Stupidity]] Aban is a strange mixture of this and [[Cloudcuckoolander|CloudCuckoolanderism]]. The proportion of both is [[Alternate Character Interpretation|up for debate]].
Line 131:
** Hadler and his Shinei Kidan learned to get their own as well, much to Dai and company's surprise.
* [[The Psycho Rangers]] The Shinei Kidan develop this kind of dynamic when confronted with Dai's group
* [[Psycho Supporter]] Albinasu towards Hadler. She seems somewhere between [[Unrequited Love]] & [[Stalker
* [[Raised
* [[Redemption Equals Death]] {{spoiler|Baran and Hadler, oh so much}}.
** Subverted by Crocodile, as he came back to life later and pulled a [[Heel Face Turn]]
Line 151:
** But also played straight in the order in which the generals fight Dai, at least at first: Crocodine is a lot weaker than Hyunckel, who gets his ass handed to him by Flazzard, who in turn is a joke compared to Baran.
*** Granted, from the moment Crocodine failed, Hadler had wanted to send all 6 of his generals at once, but the order was belayed by the [[Big Bad]]
* [[Spell My Name
* [[Star-Crossed Lovers]] Baran and Soara's story is very close to a classic ''Romeo and Juliet'' plot. Where Romeo goes ''horribly wrong'' and they have a kid with [[Infant Immortality]].
* [[Story Arc]]
Line 159:
* [[Team Pet]] Gome, which {{spoiler|also happens to be a literal miracle bringer created by the Gods.}}
** Also, Chu the karateka mouse.
* [[Ten
* [[Took a Level In Badass]] Many characters, but especially Pop, who according to Hyunkel, Kill-Vearn and Vearn themselves, is even scarier than Dai.
** You know you're a badass when you {{spoiler|use a spell even after dying.}}
