Line 9:
* [[Affectionate Parody]]: Believe it or not, this show is really a comedy.
* [[And This Is For]]: "''...And this is for [[
* [[Axe Crazy]]: The lead singer of Pipanic Chainsaw is named for good reason.
* [[Becoming the Mask]]: Played for laughs.
Line 16:
** Negishi tries to show his love 'everything' in the last chapter. This results in "something small just went into my mouth!"
** Gets a bit less comedic when Negishi comes scarily close to realistically raping his love object in the "Kyushu Boy" chapter of the manga.
* [[Butt Monkey]]: Poor Yuri, [[Blessed
* [[The Cameo]]: Gene Simmons plays Jack ill Dark in [[The Movie]] (live action).
* [[Camera Abuse]]: The opening credits end with Krauser II seizing the camera and spinning it violently around to face ... the show's logo.
Line 26:
** Because they were released in [[Real Life]] as under the fictional Death Records label, Detroit Metal City's "SATSUGAI" and ''Makai Yuugi'' were among the top Indies releases for 2008.
** [[Vamps]] covered "SATSUGAI."
* [[Did Not Do the Research]]: From fans of death metal, one minor gripe would be that DMC is not a death metal band at all. Their sound is comparable to post-thrash/[[Groove Metal]] bands like [[
** Not only that, but DMC's image would befit black metal rather than death metal, what with the corpse paint and all. [[Justified Trope|Seeing as the title is a reference to KISS, though...]]
* [[Does This Remind You of Anything?]]: "My whipped cream on your face" seems a little... suggestive.
Line 52:
* [[Non-Indicative Name]]: The story does not take place in [[Motor City|Detroit]].
* [[Now That's Using Your Teeth]]: Krauser knows how to do this, but Negishi recognizes that it's not very good for himself.
* [["On the Next Episode of..." Catchphrase|On the Next Episode of FUCK!!!]]
* [[Power Born of Madness]]: The only reason Negishi gets away with half of what he does. He's just so crazy that nobody can quite figure out what to do with him. That, and the legions of insane fans who do his bidding.
* [[Refuge in Audacity]]: This trope basically defines the band.
* [[Sentai]]: Krauser ends up crashing a Sentai show in an amusement part. Most people assume it's [[All Part of the Show]], up until the point when he starts harassing the audience.
* [[Sex, Drugs and Rock
* [[Slice of Life]]: Negishi's.
* [[Sliding Scale of Idealism Versus Cynicism]]: Played with hilariously.
Line 63:
** Justified in that Negishi is the lyricist, though.
* [[Tastes Like Diabetes]]: Negishi's lyrics. It's even acknowledged in-universe, so there's nothing subjective about it.
* [[The Movie]]: Starring [[Kenichi Matsuyama]] (Live Action [[Death Note
* [[Those Two Guys]]: Technically more than two - a bunch of rabid DMC fans who go to every one of their concerts.
* [[Tokyo Tower]]: Krauser lights it up.
Line 70:
* [[Victim Falls For Rapist]]: With the TOKYO TOWER no less!
* [[Weirdness Censor]]: Usually inverted; DMC's fans seem to have a Normalcy Censor. In one case they ignore a radio report of an incoming storm, only to later attribute the storm to {{spoiler|the original}} Krauser's demonic powers.
* [[Willing Suspension of
** [[Refuge in Audacity]] and the Japanese public's version of the [[Weirdness Censor]] tending to be "ignore and shun as if it does not exist" as opposed to the American version of [[You Can Panic Now]] (and the [[Yakuza]] connections of some [[Visual Kei]] labels and management) meant [[Visual Kei]] artists could, for a while, get away with some activities that would have a "normal" Japanese arrested instantly. So this is arguably [[Truth in Television]] to some degree.
** [[Science Marches On|The unplugged electric guitar is also]] [[Truth in Television]] [[Science Marches On|to some degree now]], [[Captain Obvious|though you could not play full songs without the rest of the band with it]] in [[Real Life]]. Battery power and a wireless amp (or an amp wired into a guitar itself) could allow for such - though the sound would definitely be weaker.
** Leaving concerts you are playing in without being mauled by disappointed fans? Also [[Truth in Television]]. See [[
* [[Visual Kei]]: DMC is arguably a Visual Shock [[Visual Kei]] band, taking major inspiration primarily from SEIKIMA-II, from [[Kiss]], and to a lesser degree from other early [[Visual Kei]].
* [[X Meets Y]]: ''[[
