Darker than Black/Season One Tropes A-M: Difference between revisions

** Lampshaded in an [[Omake]] to the first manga, where the heroine, who's mostly interacted with his "real" personality, sees him switch over to "Li" and start cheerfully chatting with Saitou, with great big labels on the scene reading "Police" and "Culprit."

* [[MacGuffin]]: A number of Hei's missions involve him stealing crystals or other things which came from the gate and not only is that goal not revealed until he completes it, the significance of the products isn't either.

* [[Magic by Any Other Name]]

* [[Magic Prerequisite]]: The basis of a Contractor's powers.

* [[My Species Doth Protest Too Much]]: Contractors are said to be cold-hearted, rational killers who don't dream, by characters who find them aberrant/abhorrent for these qualities. But there's always at least one who behaves in contradiction to these traits, and then there are normal humans who demonstrate their capacity for them.
