Line 44:
* [[Medium Awareness]]
* [[Memetic Badass]]: In-universe. A major contributing factor to the success of Krauser and co. is the way the details of their various fan-pleasing exploits (e.g., the Tokyo Tower incident) are exaggerated to divine proportions (e.g., Krauser becoming the supposed father of the Roppongi Hills) by their more rabid followers.
* [[The Movie]]: Starring [[Kenichi Matsuyama]] (Live Action [[Death Note|L]]) in the lead role and Gene Simmons of [[Kiss]] as Jack ill Dark, the reigning Demon God of Rock and Roll.▼
* [[Nakama]]: Played straight with the DMC fans, and hilariously for laughs with scatolo-metal band Deathism/Deazm.
* [[Nobody Poops]]: Averted to hell and back, and used for laughs. ▼
* [[Noblewoman's Laugh]]: DMC's manager--''especially'' noteworthy in the movie.
▲* [[Nobody Poops]]: Averted to hell and back, and used for laughs.
* [[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.
Line 60 ⟶ 61:
** 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|L]]) in the lead role and Gene Simmons of [[Kiss]] as Jack ill Dark, the reigning Demon God of Rock and Roll.
* [[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 66:
* [[Up to Eleven]]: Episode 8, where Krauser attempts to beat his own record of yelling "Rape!" ten times a second.
* [[Victim Falls For Rapist]]: With the TOKYO TOWER no less!
* [[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]]. ▼
* [[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 Disbelief]]: DMC are [[Death Metal]], the [[Police Are Useless|police will neglect looking for someone who obviously sticks out and reportedly caused much suffering and committed many crimes]], you can [[The Power of Rock|play an electric guitar unplugged and successfully perform songs with said unplugged guitar without the rest of the band]], you can leave concerts that YOU are playing in without being mauled by disappointed fans, etc. etc. etc. etc. etc.
Line 71 ⟶ 72:
** [[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 [[Guns N' Roses]] or [[X Japan]] for quite a few examples of this. It depends on how much the audience understands the reason and how good the band is at getting out of there fast (or canceling at first)
▲* [[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]]: ''[[Metalocalypse]]'' meets ''[[Beck (manga)|Beck]]''.
