{{tropelist}}
Line 24:
* {{spoiler|[[Asshole Victim]]: Yomi's uncle}}
* [[BFG]]: The Nabuu brothers.
* [[Back
** Even more than that; look on the [[Ga-Rei]] page under {{spoiler|[[Split Personality]]}}.
* [[Back-to-Back Badasses]]: Yomi and Kagura.
Line 39:
** [[As Long as There Is Evil]]: Vital to the [[Big Bad]]'s schemes.
** [[An Aesop]]
* [[Brand X]]: Yomi plays on a "Dreambox" (Sega Dreamcast).
* [[Breakout Character]]: {{spoiler|Yomi. Went from a minor villain killed off early in manga to no consequence to the star of the vastly more popular prequel anime so much so that she was resurrected in the manga. Kagura also received more prominence afterward}}.
* [[Breather Episode]]: Arguably Episode 5, which solely concerns Kagura's plan to get engaged couple Yomi and Nori to like each other. It is nearly all comedic in nature. Also, the relaxing moments where everything seems to be going well for the main characters before {{spoiler|the murder of Yomi's father, the point where everything in the series [[It Got Worse|gets worse.]]}}
Line 67:
* [[Doomed by Canon]]: Since this is a prequel, there's quite a high body count.
* [[Dude, Where's My Reward?]]: Evil Yomi. They're good reasons for her [[Face Heel Turn]].
* [[Episode Zero:
* [[Everybody's Dead, Dave]]
* [[Expy]] "Natsuki Kasuga", a badass, black haired biker girl. Certainly doesn't sound like a character from [[
** Don't forget that she's paired with a guy who wields duel pistols.:P
** Slightly more tenuous are the similarities between Yomi and Arashi from [[X 1999]] {{spoiler|or more a fusion of her and Fuuma, especially when later developments in Ga-Rei are taken into account}}.
Line 135:
* [[Katanas Are Just Better]]: Only the sword users have been seen to OHKO Category Bs...
* [[Kick Them While They Are Down]]: When it seems like the worst things imaginable are happening to Yomi, even ''worse'' things happen just an episode later.
** One scene in Episode 9 in particular stands out as a nasty example of this. {{spoiler|Yomi has been left crippled and mute by the injuries she suffered confronting Mitogawa, and Noriyuki's father decides to break off his son's arranged marriage with her because of this. So he visits Yomi in hospital to tell her that. To his credit, he doesn't seem completely ignorant of her distress, and even more or less tells her that she can blame him, but one still gets the impression the task was made much easier by the fact she couldn't say anything.}}
* [[Life Energy]]: Bane Stones provide its users with power to defy death for some time. However, its Japanese name Sesshouseki means "Death Stone" and will eventually sap the users of their life force, turning them into phantoms.
* [[Like a Badass Out of Hell]]: Evil Yomi.
Line 153:
* [[Naughty Tentacles]]
* [[Night of the Living Mooks]]: Category Ds.
* [[Not Using the Zed Word]]: No one ever calls the former humans "zombies".
* [[Norio Wakamoto]]: The Nabuu brothers, falling squarely in his "not serious" category.
* [[108]]: {{spoiler|Yomi got pierced by Mitogawa's 108 iron needles. She got better. Or not.}}
Line 172:
* [[Shrines and Temples]]
* [[Slave Mooks]]: Category Ds {{spoiler|and also Bane Stone users}} all count. {{spoiler|With the latter, see also [[This Is Your Brain on Evil]]. If it could send Yomi that crazy, even Mei must have had a kind side somewhere.}}
* [[Sleep Cute]]: Yomi and Kagura, starting in the opening sequence.
* [[Squee]]: When Yomi and Kagura "share" their Pocky.
* [[Start of Darkness]]/[[Face Heel Turn]]: This anime is all about Yomi's start of darkness.
* [[
* [[Strike Me Down with All of Your Hatred]]: {{spoiler|Mei goads Yomi into doing this, before regaining her consciousness/sanity back, then tries to plead with her not to do it. However, considering that Mei attacked and later told Yomi she killed Yomi's dad out of jealousy of her, it's not surprising that Yomi follows through with Mei's taunt.}}
* [[Survival Mantra]]: It is our job to eliminate those who spread the taint of death to the human world, it is our job to eliminate those who spread the taint of death to the human world, it is our job to eliminate those who spread the taint of death to the human world...
Line 189:
** {{spoiler|Yomi's love for Kagura is what allows her to be killed by Kagura as her greatest desire was to protect Kagura}}
* [[The Squad]]: ''Two'' squads.
* [[The War Room]]▼
* [[This Is Your Brain on Evil]]: {{spoiler|The Bane Stone does this to anyone who gets caught by it's 'pure' form. Yomi managing to break past it in the end counts as a [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming]].}}
* [[Twelve-Episode Anime]]
* [[Tragic Hero]]: The final fate of those who wield Ga-Rei, but especially Yomi.
* [[Trauma-Induced Amnesia]]: {{spoiler|Kiri}} reverts to the personality of a little girl after getting stabbed in the gut by {{spoiler|Yomi}}.
Line 196:
* [[Unstoppable Rage]]: {{spoiler|Yomi's reaction when Mei told her that she killed Yomi's foster father, and tortured him in the progress.}}
* [[Vasquez Always Dies]]: {{spoiler|Yomi. Poor Yomi.}}
▲* [[The War Room]]
* [[We Have Reserves]]
* [[Wham! Episode]]: {{spoiler|How many shows have one of these for their ''very first episode?''}}
