Line 29:
** [[World of Action Girls]]
* [[Accidental Pervert]]: Generally there's nothing accidental about the situations Issei gets caught in, but that time his mom found him sleeping naked next to Rias was totally innocent.
* [[A Day in the Limelight|A Day in The Limelight]]: More like a volume in the limelight but everyone in the Occult Research Club has their stories centered on a certain volume. Issei and Asia for Volume 1, Rias for Volume 2, Kiba for Volume 3, Gasper for Volume 4, Koneko for Volume 5, Asia again for Volume 6, Akeno for Volume 7 and so on.
* [[Almighty Janitor]]: Issei himself is this seeing as Rias had to use all 8 of her pawn chess pieces to even have him as a servant. Saji is also this to a lesser degree.
* [[All Just a Dream]]: The 2nd special episode.
Line 34 ⟶ 35:
* [[All Myths Are True]]: The Greek and Norse are confirmed in the novels. Heroes such as King Arthur and Cao Cao feature as well.
* [[Another Dimension]]: {{spoiler|Cao Cao traps the group in one in Volume 11.}}
* [[Anti-Hero]]: Pretty hard to find, but Akeno is a Type II, due to her sadism. Azazel is more of a Type III and Xenovia starts off as a Type III as well.
* [[Ars Goetia]]: The Gremory and the Phenex family names are in it.
* [[A Truce While We Gawk]]: In volume 7, while an epic battle is going on Issei somehow {{spoiler|summons a breast god}}, yes there is apparently one in the universe. When he announces this everyone on both sides stop fighting and start staring at him as if he's done something stupidly crazy again...
* [[Authority Equals Asskicking]]: If you are a leader of a faction, one of the minimum requirements is that ''you have to kick ass''.
* [[Ax Crazy]]: [[[Light IS Not Good|Freed]], [[Complete Monster|full stop]].
* [[Badass]]: ASo lotmany.
** [[Badass Abnormal]]: Issei. He has a sacred gear but it's noted that he achieved his level of power not because of his sacred gear but because of [[Training from Hell]] and his [[Determinator|will to never give up]]. Otherwise he would be far weaker.
** [[Badass Adorable]]: The girls may look beautiful but most of them are strong enough to easily destroy buildings.
Line 48 ⟶ 50:
** [[World of Badass]]
* [[Barbie Doll Anatomy]]: In the anime's opening the girls (most noticeably Asia) have nipples but the crotches of barbie dolls, but early in the manga even Issei lacks nipples, though in the manga the girls use [[Godiva Hair]] too. Later in the Manga it's averted.
* Averted in episode 2 of the anime, when we see Issei naked and anatomically correct.
* [[Barehanded Blade Block]]: {{spoiler|[[Journey to the West|The original Son Goku]] uses only ''one finger'' against Cao Cao's [[Game Breaker|True Longinus]]}}.
* [[Battle Harem]]: The more girls who join the [[True Companions|Occult Research Club]], the more girls [[Chivalrous Pervert|Issei]] [[Harem Seeker|gets]]. Said girls include [[Stuff Blowing Up|Rias]], [[Shock and Awe|Akeno]], [[BFS|Xenovia]], [[The Medic|Asia]], and [[Cute Bruiser|Koneko]], who are later joined by [[Valkyries|Rossweisse]], [[Our Angels Are Different|Irina]] [[Genki Girl|Shidou]] and [[The Phoenix|Ravel]] [[Sixth Ranger|Phenex]].
* [[Battle Harem]]
* [[Beethoven Was an Alien Spy]]: In Chapter 8 of Volume one it's at least heavily implied that Jesus' power came from a Sacred Gear.
* [[Bedmate Reveal]]: At the end of episode 1 has Issei waking up and finding.<ref>Nude I might add</ref>
* [[Berserk Button]]: Pretty much every member of the Occult Research Club has one of these, with Issei and Rias sharing the same main one; hurt, insult or threaten ''any'' one of their harem/servants, including each other (in fact, [[Especially Zoidberg|'''especially''' each other]]) and one or both will make you very, '''very''' sorry. Countless villains have learned this the hard way.
* [[Beyond the Impossible]]: How ''much'' can Issei power up using Rias' breasts!? How much [[HSQ]] are the fights in this series!? Which mythology will be the next one introduced!? ''What kind of new perverted power up can Issei pull off next!?'' [[Rule of Cool|Yeah]] [[Rule of Awesome|it's]] [[Widget Series|that kind of series.]]
* [[Big Fancy House]]: Rias' house in the Underworld {{spoiler|and later on, Issei's house becomes this.}}
Line 62 ⟶ 65:
* [[Bunny Ears Lawyer]]: ''Anybody'' who is in the high ranks are this. Sirzechs, Serafore, Azazel, Odin.. take your pick.
* [[Butt Monkey]]: Compare everyone in the [[The Beautiful Elite|Occult Club]] and [[And Zoidberg|Issei]]. A good amount of the time Issei is going to take the brunt of some damage from events like sports, rumors, or from Azazel's crazy experiments.
* [[Can't Catch Up]]: Beginning to show shades of this in the Light Novels in regards to Issei and Kiba but especially Issei. They both start off as relatively weak members of the Occult Club with Issei being by far the weakest and Kiba being only around Koneko's level at best. Rias and Akeno at this point were far stronger. Then Kiba and Issei master Balance Breaker and everyone is left coughing in the dust. This is best exemplified when Issei was able to beat Sairaorg Baal using his {{spoiler|Balance Breaker}} where as Kiba, enovia and RossweissRossweisse (the three strongest in the occultOccult clubClub with Kiba being by far the stronger of the three) only managed to cut off a arm of Sairaorg {{spoiler|without Balance Breaker}} and the rest likely couldn't even scratch Sairaorg.
* [[Catgirl]]: They exist in the universe {{spoiler|Koneko is one}}
* [[Chainsaw Good]]: Raiser's two pawns, who are also twins, uses this against Issei.
Line 108 ⟶ 111:
* [[Engagement Challenge]]: Ok so we knew Rias is engaged to the Phenex household, so Issei when comes to rescue her it becomes this to the people watching it unfold.
* [[Everyone Can See It]]: It is so painfully obvious Rias likes Issei that her father acknowledges him as his future son in law... Same thing applies for Akeno later on, and any savvy reader notices Asia's liking of Issei from the first chapters after she's introduced.
* [[Fan Service]]: The [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mOUAH8R3hzQ New 13 OVA]. Hard to even know where to begin on this one.
* [[Fantasy Kitchen Sink]]: Humans, devils, fallen angels, angels, Norse mythology, Greek mythology, dragons, {{spoiler|a breast god}}, anything you can think of, it's in here.
* [[Femme Fatale]]: Yuuma Amano.
Line 153 ⟶ 157:
* [[I Was Just Passing Through]]: Vali invokes this from time to time. Sometimes however, he really does have an agenda.
* [[Jaw Drop]]: Tanninim pulls off a funny one when {{spoiler|Issei accidentally summons a Breast Fairy and asks the former as to which mythology is it a part of.}}
* [[Jerkass]]: {{spoiler|Ria's Fiance{{spoiler|Ria's Raizerfiance, Riser}} and Matsuda and Motohama, Issei's two friends who start spreading rumors about him because Issei is so close to many beautiful women.
* [[Jumped At the Call]]: More like sprinted towards the call but Issei definitely fits.
* [[Kiai]]: Koneko uses them, [[Subverted Trope|subverted]] since she's not [[Hot-Blooded]] at all, rather than screaming it's a quiet "eh!" then whatever she just punched [[Punched Across the Room|goes flying]]
Line 173 ⟶ 177:
** Volume 12 starts out depressing after what happened in the previous volume. {{spoiler|And then, it's now at Issei's perspective of the story where the first few things that he says is that he can't even make out with Rias anymore with his current spirit form.}}
* [[Name's the Same]]: Sister Asia Argento
* [[Naughty Tentacles]]: In a [[Fanservice]] episode that nearly outdoes even [[To Love Ru]] in its fan-servicing, which is ''really'' saying something, the [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mOUAH8R3hzQ New 13 OVA] checks off all the boxes: pervy mad scientist, bikini-clad bouncy busty beauties and lolis in an outdoor field, Issei in the hero's shoes conveniently thrown in the middle of several bikini beauties at boob level, a strip-down spell, squirmy tentacles, the stripped-down beauties being devoured by a monster created from bras panties and bikinis, the monster having sentience through the pervy mad scientist and talking (really, he talks and it's both hilarious and weirdly scary and menacing) and then Issei summoning a mystical strike that rescues the girls and sends a hail of bras and panties across the field. And this is just a partial description.
* [[Nice Guy]]: Perverted as he is, Issei is kind, courageous and [[Chivalrous Pervert|very protective of his harem and friends]].
** Kiba and Gasper definitely qualify too.
** Not to mention Rias' brother Sirzechs and [[All-Loving Hero|Archangel Michael]]. Azazel's more of a [[Jerk with a Heart of Gold]], [[Averted Trope|however]].
** [[Nice Girl]]: At least half of the girls in the Occult Research Club qualify for this, but ''especially'' Rias and Asia.
* [[Oblivious to Love]]: Issei wants a harem, but doesn't notice the one he has.
* [[Older Than They Look]]: Rias sometimes refers to Issei as a child in the novel, suggesting she isn't as young as she looks.. also considering Devil's can live for 10,000+ years...
** [[Subverted]] since Rias really is as young as she looks.
* [[Old School Building]]: Where the Occult Clubroom is located.
* [[Our Angels Are Different]]/[[Our Demons Are Different]]: Demons and [[Fallen Angel|fallen angels]] are two separate classes of beings: demons are the original inhabitants of hell, whereas fallen angels are interlopers who settled there after getting kicked out of heaven. The two groups have been at war ever since.
* [[Our Dragons Are Different]]: Unusual for media, but Issei's dragon is a welshWelsh dragon. Not something you see every day.
* [[Overshadowed by Awesome]]: Simply put, the entire Occult Research Club is overshadowed by Issei. While all of them are useful in their own right, Issei is by far the most powerful member and even in earlier volumes he is ''always'' the one to fight and defeat the [[Arc Villain]]. You sometimes get the impression the club would be just fine if Issei was the only member... then you remember that none of them would get very far without [[The Leader|Rias]].
** The Student Council is also overshadowed by the Occult Research Club.
* [[Peace Conference]]: Happens in the fourth volume. It was successful, however there is a certain faction who doesn't want in.
* [[Panty Shot]]
Line 190 ⟶ 202:
* [[Peeping Tom]]: The first scene in the novels involves Issei and his friends Matsuda and Motohama peeking at the girls locker room.
* [[Physical God]]: {{spoiler|[[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|Gods]] in this series are extremely strong. Loki for example could hold off the two strongest members of the Fallen Angel group plus the entire Occult Club plus Saji in his dragon from with ease. Also Son Goku has been shown to utterly crush the Hero Faction which are each individually at a High-Ultimate Tier Devil level. The two strongest beings Ophis and Great Red are represented by Infinite and Dreams which say volumes of how strong they are}}.
* [[Pretty Freeloaders]]: Asia is the first one who stays at Issei's home, then later on it's Rias, Akeno, Koneko, Xenovia, Irina, and Rossweisse who stay with him while Kiba and Gasper rent a house near them. Subverted in that they often do housework.
* [[Radial Ass-Kicking]]: The Occult Research Club ''was'' going to do this, until [[Big Damn Heroes|Odin showed up.]]
* [[Rags to Riches]]: Issei's home gets renovated from a normal Japanese house, into a ''six-floor mansion overnight.''
