Hayate the Combat Butler/Tropes E To I: Difference between revisions

{{work}}

* [[Ear Worm]] - ''Zettai nante shinji nai! Fukanou nante nai! Mirai wa hiraku te no naka ni aru!''

* [[Eating the Eye Candy]] - Despite being a [[Chaste Hero]], Hayate pulls this on Hinagiku. After his gaze lingers too long she chastises him for it, but she definitely enjoys the feeling.

* [[Exact Words]]: In chapter 331 Isumi {{spoiler|refuses to believe that Wataru's been in love with her for so long and that he was finally going to confess}}. She makes a bet with Nagi and Sakuya that he wasn't going to say "{{spoiler|I love you}}" to her. She claims victory when he says "{{spoiler|I love'''d''' you}}" instead.

* [[Expressive Hair]]: {{spoiler|Athena}} of all people has this.

* [[Failure Knight]] - Much of Hayate's determination stems from {{spoiler|having failed Athena.}}

* [[Fake Crossover]] - Nabeshin, [[Author Avatar]] of [[Shinichi Watanabe]], made an appearance.

* [[Furo Scene]] - Several over the course of the series but Chapter 304 sees Hayate and Maria going to a ''sentou''/public bath when the boiler is broken as Nagi, {{spoiler|Chiharu, Hinagiku, and Athena/"Alice" are}} feeling a bit uncomfortable with the whole bathing with strangers idea. Features a bit of Maria fanservice and more Hayate fanservice than it should, {{spoiler|especially with Kotetsu popping up unexpectedly, with Hayate oddly covering his chest while he drowns the idiot}}, and even a little [[Ship Tease]] as Maria shows her tsun side at the end (and even ''says'' "tsun" in a huff for some reason).

** Another moment is way back when Hinagiku invited Hayate over to warm up after finding him out in the snow. Hayate appears to be quite flustered at bathing at her place and has what might really be the closest he comes to a "dirty" thought in the whole series. Hint: it's about Hinagiku.

* [[Gag Dub]] - The Animax English dub is very faithful to the original dialogue, but once you add in accents, pop cultural references and some wacky lines, it’s even more funnier.

* [[Gag Series]] - The first season.

* [[Girls Love Stuffed Animals]] - Izumi has lots of stuffed animals kept around her room. {{spoiler|Though it's not put in a prominent position, the stuffed animal that Hayate saved from Lucky ten years ago is still kept around in its ragged condition. It's hinted that this is what reminds her about her childhood promise.}}

** Though not shown to be anywhere near Izumi's collection, Chiharu had a collection of stuffed animals {{spoiler|then her house burned down. Many survived though}}.

** Hayate and Luca, while the former is crossdressed looks to be an example of playing with this trope

* [[Giver of Lame Names]] - Oddly enough, the resident [[Student Council President]] Hinagiku Katsura. Despite being amazing at almost everything, if she names anything it will be immediately called out by whoever is present. They aren't weird or long, just incredibly simplistic. Best seen when she first meets Hayate and tells him that she had named the baby sparrow they saved pretty much literally 'brown bird'. Even Hayate is exasperated, which is [[Hilarious in Hindsight|funny]] when you consider {{spoiler|that his naming sense is literally just as bad...both named Athena "A-tan", notably a character ''longer'' than her actual name}}.

** Taken even further when he actually begins to grovel for something that actually does anger her, along with the fact that he'd even tried to hide it, but then she makes a statement that confuses him, and then helps him correct the mistake.

* [[Guide Dang It]] - Actively referred to when it turns out the only way to activate the "Ultimate Butler Armor" is for someone who has lost the powers of a Butler to regain them.

* [[Happily Adopted]] - Hinagiku Katsura loves her parents, even though they abandoned her and her sister over ten years ago, but also loves her adopted parents.

* [[Hartman Hips]] - All the girls seem to have them.

*** [[Kana Ueda|Sakuya]] is seen to be laughing loudly at this. Whether or not it's an [[Actor Allusion]] to the fact that [[Kana Ueda]] voiced Hayate Yagami remains to be seen.

** Hayate himself has a Hyperspace ''Broom''.

* [[I Can't Believe a Guy Like You Would Notice Me]] - Hayate and Hinagiku simultaneously with a side helping of [[Cannot Spit It Out]].

** Hayate continuously argues with others that Hinagiku can't possibly like him. Hinagiku doesn't believe he's interested in her traits.
