Final Fantasy: Unlimited: Difference between revisions

Line 24:

* [[All Girls Want Bad Boys]]: Despite what he does, Lisa seems to have a very strong love interest for Kaze from the very beginning. Lou too.

* [[Animation Bump]]: Ho boy.

* [[Anti Villain]]: {{spoiler|Kumo}}

* [[Anti-Villain]]: {{spoiler|Kumo}}

* [[Bad Boss]]: Though of course playing as the [[Big Bad]], the Earl is mean to everyone whenever he's in a bad mood.

* [[Balance of Good and Evil]]: Or rather, the balance between order and chaos--what {{spoiler|Kumo}} aims to restore.

Line 52:

* [[Curb Stomp Battle]]: Kumo beats the living crap out of Kaze in episode 4, which is quite a change from Kaze's previous [[Game Breaker|I-Win Button]] status. {{spoiler|Chaos to everyone in episode 24, too.}}

* [[Dangerously Genre Savvy]]: Oscha, Soljashy, and possibly Fabula.

* [[Dark Skinned Blond]]: Cid.

* [[Dark-Skinned Blond]]: Cid.

* [[Dead Little Sister]]: {{spoiler|Kaze's little sister Aura sacrificed herself to let him fight Chaos twelve years ago}}. {{spoiler|Kumo}} points out several times that she'd kick his ass for the cockeyed way he's going at {{spoiler|defeating Chaos}}, to limited effect.

* [[Death Trap]]: Ocean puzzle.

Line 61:

* [[Eldritch Abomination]]: Omega and Chaos.

* [[Even Evil Has Standards]]: Sort of. About who's with them- no one cares when {{spoiler|Fungus dies because he never did anything noteworthy.}}

* [[Everyone Calls Him Barkeep]]: The Earl and his flunkies call Kumo "Makenshi" because he never reveals his name around them. In After, {{spoiler|even though they know his name is Shiroi Kumo, everyone still calls him Makenshi out of habit. It causes some, uh, consternation when Touya freaks out about what kind of person might actually be ''named'' Makenshi}}.

* [[Everyone Calls Him "Barkeep"]]: The Earl and his flunkies call Kumo "Makenshi" because he never reveals his name around them. In After, {{spoiler|even though they know his name is Shiroi Kumo, everyone still calls him Makenshi out of habit. It causes some, uh, consternation when Touya freaks out about what kind of person might actually be ''named'' Makenshi}}.

* [[Evil Laugh]]: Earl Tyrant eventually shows himself to be quite capable of this.

* [[Expy]]: The cast has got plenty in ''[[Samurai Champloo]]'' and ''[[Tales of Legendia (Video Game)|Tales of Legendia]]'' thanks to the designer liking to recycle his designs; Fabula also has Cosmos in ''[[Video Game/Final Fantasy Dissidia|Final Fantasy Dissidia]]''.

Line 81:

* [[Heroic Albino]]: Kumo.

* [[Heroic Sacrifice]]: {{spoiler|Kumo's}} entire fight against Chaos is eventually revealed to be one. And then there's {{spoiler|Kaze and Kumo's apparent deaths in episode 25}}, which are actually something of a subversion, as they turned out to be {{spoiler|[[Not Quite Dead]]}}.

* [[Hey ~~Its~~ That Voice]]: [[Akira Ishida]] as the voice of Kumo, and...

* [[Hey It's That Voice]]: [[Akira Ishida]] as the voice of Kumo, and...

** [[Hikaru Midorikawa]]: ...as the voice of Clear.

** [[Kikuko Inoue]]: ...as the voice of Fabula.

Line 88:

* [[I Have the High Ground]]: Kumo just ''adores'' this trope. So did Lisa's mother, apparently.

* [[I Just Want to Be Normal]]: {{spoiler|Kumo and the twins, so very very much.}}

* [[I'll Kill You]]

* [[I'll Kill You!]]

* [[Intimate Healing]]: Laughed at in episode 15, where Kaze is found drifting in the ocean by the Comodeen and brought aboard their submarine; when Lisa notes that he doesn't seem to be breathing, Yu prompts her to perform CPR. Although she had no problems using it to resuscitate Ai in the sixth episode, Lisa balks at the thought of having to kiss Kaze--so Knave volunteers. Cue [[Squick|a close-up of his puckered lips descending]]; luckily, Kaze wakes up just in time.

* [[I Shall Taunt You]]: Depends on how you take it but the way Kumo talks DOES probably lead Kaze on.

Line 150:

* [[Supporting Leader]]: Knave and the Comodeen eventually assume this role as the story becomes more serious, but they never quite outgrow being [[Plucky Comic Relief]] at the same time.

* [[Talk to The Fist]]: Part of the lampshades the cast throws on Kaze's long, long, ''long'' summoning sequences. Both Pist and Kumo do it. Pist eventually has this trope turned on him by {{spoiler|Kumo}}; the results were beautifully epic.

* [[Theme Music Power Up]]: Kaze, Kumo, and Lisa are all prone to this. The Lords of Gaudium each have a villainous version.

* [[Theme Music Power-Up]]: Kaze, Kumo, and Lisa are all prone to this. The Lords of Gaudium each have a villainous version.

** Chobi's Ciel Chocobo transformation comes complete with a special theme as well.

** [[Theme Naming]]: All three summoner boys have weather names.

Line 157:

* [[This Is a Drill]]: The Magun. And Elizabeth the subway train. And Cid's electric-hammer-backpack-thing. Apparently to get the energy out of Soil [[Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann|you have to move it in a spiral motion, so any device that uses it will tend to feature a drill somewhere]].

** Also, the Cube-Ashura robot in episode 9, which (unlike the other examples) actually uses it as a weapon.

* [[This Is Unforgivable]]

* [[This Is Unforgivable!]]

* [[Tomato in The Mirror]]: {{spoiler|Ai and Yu are revealed to be parts of Chaos at the end of the first season. Soljashy spends most of the second season trying to convince them to accept their birthright.}}

* [[Tomato Surprise]]: Lou Lupus, revealed as a werewolf in the middle of episode 7. Ai and Yu don't care that she's not human, though, and tell her that her transformations are cool.

Line 164:

* [[We Could Have Avoided All This]]: "And when did you wake up?"

* [[Weak but Skilled]]: {{spoiler|After being useless bystanders for most of the early part of the story, the twins eventually become very good at using what they have to help out however they can.}}

* [[White Haired Pretty Boy]]

* [[White-Haired Pretty Boy]]

* [[White Shirt of Death]]: So he didn't {{spoiler|stay dead}}, but that episode was quite a wince-worthy change to the show's previous [[Bloodless Carnage]]. The especially [[Egregious]] fact is that {{spoiler|Kumo is one of ''two'' characters [[Impaled With Extreme Prejudice]] in that episode, and he's the only one who apparently bled at all--let alone so profusely}}.

* [[You All Look Familiar]]: No one sees most of the faces of the Comodeen members.
