Dragon Knights: Difference between revisions

* [[Blind Idiot Translation]]: Tokyopop's translation work is... less then consistent at times.

* [[Black Magic]]

{{quote| '''Tetheus:''' Just a thought... but you may want to throw this fish back.}}

* [[Bound and Gagged]]: Happens a few times to Rath when the other two knights don't want to deal with him.

* [[Cast Full of Pretty Boys]]: Of course, it doesn't hurt that the author started out drawing [[Yaoi]] comics.

* [[Chekhov's Armoury]]: Dragon Knights has tons of [[Chekhov's Gun|Chekhov's guns]] everywhere. Sometimes, they only show up in illustrations or page splashes.

* [[Combat Stilettos]]: Even the guys wear them.

* [[Combat Tentacles]]: Used by Shydeman and Shyrendora in battle. Eventually results in [[Body Horror]].

* {{spoiler|[[Comforting the Widow]]}}

* [[Conveniently an Orphan]]

* [[Crazy Prepared]]: Thatz ends up having a butterfly net just when he needs one.

* [[Creepy Twins]]: Shydeman and Shyrendora certainly qualify. They've even both got the [[Evil Albino]] thing going on. {{spoiler|As well as Rim Kanna and her sister.}}

* [[Demon Slaying]]: A favorite past time of Rath's.

* [[Demonic Possession]]

* [[Deus Ex Machina]]: {{spoiler|That [[Shocking Swerve|Diamond Clover]] thing was NEVER mentioned before!}}

* [[Disguised in Drag]]: Happens to the knights in the first book.

* [[Distressed Damsel]]

* [[Ghost Amnesia]]: {{spoiler|Fiji, when Rath, Thatz, Zoma, and Ringleys run into her as a ghost.}}

* [[The Glasses Come Off]]: Kaistern battles without his glasses... [[Rule of Cool|it is never explained why]].

* [[Gory Discretion Shot]]

* [[Harmless Freezing]]

* [[Healing Hands]]: Fairies have this ability.

* [[Kaleidoscope Eyes]]: If only because Ohkami can't ever stay consistent with a character design.

* [[Karma Houdini]]: {{spoiler|Kharl}}, despite the many problems he causes for both sides and {{spoiler|being the direct cause of the near extinction of the Fairy tribe}}, ends the series in pretty much the same position he was in at the start of it.

* [[Kill It With Fire]]: Several people in the series use this as their preferred method, such as Gil, Fedelta, and of course Rath, who leaps straight into [[Pyromaniac]] levels at times.

* [[Kill It With Ice]]: Rath oddly enough can also do this, despite being the Dragon Knight of ''Fire'' and his own [[Playing With Fire|normal tendencies]].

* [[Life or Limb Decision]]

* [[Loads and Loads of Characters]]

* [[The Lost Woods]]: Home to the fairies.

* [[Love Triangle]]

* [[Mind Control]]: The main power of Shyrendora.

* [[Multicolored Hair]]: Ruwalk, Garfacky, Rath, Sabel, and Cesia.

* [[No Export for You]]: Ohkami had created a bunch of bonus Dragon Knights chapters after the series had ended, which were printed together in a book in Japan. However, it seems like Tokyopop had little interest in importing it to the US, understandable considering the series' obscurity.

* [[Nonchalant Dodge]]

* [[Older Than They Look]]: Really all of the cast except the humans, of which there are few. Making for a confusing timeline. Most of them are quite possibly [[Really Seven Hundred Years Old]], but it's even mentioned that most members of the Dragon Tribe don't remember their age. At least [[Immortality Begins At Twenty]].

* [[Omake]]

* [[The Only One]]: {{spoiler|Poor Rath, everyone's depending on him. Even the villians.}}

* [[Our Dragons Are Different]]: First you've got the elemental duel dragons, who chose their Dragon Knights and then aid them on their adventures. Then you've got the Dragon Tribe, which is the governing family of their country, Draqueen, and characterized by immortality, eternal youth, [[Cute Little Fangs]] and [[Pointy Ears]].

* [[Recurring Dreams]]: Rath has the same dream about a battle a couple of times. It's never fully revealed what the dream was suppose to have meant.

* [[Red Eyes Take Warning]]: Tetheus' eyes turn read whenever he senses a demon near by.

* [[Red Sky Take Warning]]: When Nadil first curses the Dragon Lord, the sky turns red back in Draqueen.

* [[Reluctant Warrior]]: Rune

* [[She's a Man In Japan]]: Meteaura was mistaken as male in the book she first appears in.

* [[Shoot the Dog]]: Averted, {{spoiler|when Lykouleon is unable to kill the crazed Illuser and turns him into Rath instead.}}

* [[Sleep Mode Size]]: The Duel Dragons can shrink down into smaller versions when their knights don't need them. It also seems to be implied that a Duel Dragon can only reach its full size when it's knight is present.

* [[Snow Means Love]]: Subverted, Rath really loathes snow. {{spoiler|Especially since it reminds him of his hatred of Kharl.}}

* [[Some Kind of Force Field]]: The barrier around the Dragon Palace that keeps demons from entering.

* [[Soul Jar]]

* [[Split Personality]]: {{spoiler|Cesia, who actually manages to have three distinct personalities, and arguably Gil with his demon form.}}

* [[Standard Fantasy Setting]]

* [[Super Deformed]]

* [[Super Empowering]]: Cesia has the latent power to exponentially increase anyone else's power with just proximity, she doesn't even have to will it.

* [[Sword Fight]]: Plenty of those.

* [[Tears of Blood]]: {{spoiler|Rath, being [[Unable to Cry]], actually cries tears of blood instead when Kharl first tries to revert him back into a demon.}}

* [[Wacky Marriage Proposal]]

* [[Walking the Earth]]: Kaistern started out as a wanderer before he met Lykouleon and became a Dragon Officer. Of course, he still continues this mentality though, much to Alfeegi's dismay.

* [[Whip It Good]]: {{spoiler|Cesia's evil side summons a whip.}}

* [[Wholesome Crossdresser]]: Rune, though to be fair to him it's never ''willingly''. Of course, when you're as feminine looking as he is even "normal" clothing can end up looking like drag.

* [[Winged Humanoid]]: Several of the characters appear with wings in illustrations or covers, including Rath, Cesia, Rune, Thatz, Zoma, Kharl, and Alfeegi. Then all of the little water light fairies have insect type wings. {{spoiler|Rath}} actually does gain wings for a [[Power Gives You Wings|brief period]], {{spoiler|and it's implied that in the old days when he lived together with Kharl, they both had feathery wings on their backs.}} {{spoiler|Zoma appears with wings for a fleeting second as well, seen only by the fortuneteller, Delte, foreshadowing his true identity later on.}}

* [[Wrestler in All of Us]]: Tetheus. When told by Kitchel that he can't use his sword on the monsters, he decides to suplex them instead.
