Line 18:
* [[Blatant Lies]]: Zangetsu tells Renji that Ichigo is practicing how to [[Literal Split Personality|split himself up]] to make training in other areas easier. This is a brazen lie, as they have entirely different reasons to do this and it will actually make the training harder. Ichigo is rather disturbed that his ''sword'' is a much better liar than he is.
* [[Brick Joke]]: Zangetsu and the hollow frequently complain in one of the anime's omake that Ichigo's mindscape rains when he's depressed and that it has no animals, particularly purebreed dogs. {{spoiler|The form the spirit of the Hogyoku takes after Ichigo removes it from its body? A Labrador puppy.}}
* [[Brought Down to Normal]]: Due to events near the beginning of the fic, Orihime loses access to her [[The Medic|Shun]] [[Barrier Warrior|Shun]] [[Winds of Destiny Change|Rikka]] abilities, and it's said that it will take at least several months before she returns to her full power. According to the author's notes, this was done partially to serve as a [[Drama -Preserving Handicap]]: "I wanted to take away Tite Kubo's little get-out-of-death-free card."
* [[Casual Danger Dialogue]]: Ichigo, his hollow and Yamamoto discuss whether or not it's possible to {{spoiler|bind two zapakuto to a shinigami at once.}} All while {{spoiler|Tensa Zangetsu and Muramasa}} try to kill each other about 20 feet away.
* [[Celibate Hero]]/[[Chaste Hero]]/[[Clueless Chick Magnet]]: Ichigo as usual and lampshaded mercilessly.
Line 44:
* [[Fantastic Racism]]: After learning that the Vizards that had been cast out a century ago were still alive and not crazy, the Gotei 13 members decide to actively avert this by asking if they want to come back with no strings attached, {{spoiler|offering the two empty captain positions to them}}, and make plans to appoint a less racist Central 46 this time around.
* [[Final Speech]]: Ultimately subverted since having the main character die in the third chapter would be a problem, but everyone gets the feeling that this is going on when Ichigo asks Chad to take care of his sisters and he has a hard time getting people to take him seriously about an actual threat and that he's not just becoming delusional. Ichigo references this trope at the time as well.
* [[Foreshadowing]]: It's easy to miss, but an author's note helpfully points it out. While [[The Cavalry]] is fighting [[Master of Illusion|Aizen]], {{spoiler|Ichigo, gravely injured, sensibly stays out of the way. [[The Hero|That]] [[Leeroy Jenkins|sounds]] [[Hot -Blooded|like]] [[Determinator|him]], [[Sarcasm Mode|doesn't it?]] It foreshadows that Aizen wasted no time in implementing his [[Disguised Hostage Gambit]]}}.
* [[For Want of a Nail]]: {{spoiler|Ichigo does not use the Final Getsuga Tensho release against Aizen in the [[Final Battle]]. Another example of this is that Senna from the first film never exists since Ichigo spends all his time in Soul Society and she is never created}}.
* [[Ghost Shipping]]: The hollow just can't get enough of {{spoiler|[[Hot Amazon|Neliel.]]}}
Line 53:
''*Ishida looks pissed*'' }}
* [[Handsome Lech]]: Ichigo's hollow highly endorses ladies having physical relations with Ichigo.
* [[Have We Met Yet?]]: Most of the Gotei 13 are thrown by how familiar the random human invader is with them.
* {{spoiler|[[Heel Face Turn]]: Muramasa and because she was restored to her rank, Nel.}}
* [[Hologram]]: Using specially formed crystals, Mayuri created a device that allows people to project memories of theirs as holograms. It's main purpose is to not have the audience sit through Ichigo constantly explaining the plot to everyone else.
Line 78:
* [[Mistaken for Pedophile]]: The characters mistake Hollow Ichigo's attraction to Nel for this. They're relieved when they learn about Nel's adult form.
* [[Mr. Fanservice]]: The Shinigami Women's Association will NOT let Ichigo get a haircut for this reason and they take great pains to keep it that way.
* [[My Sister Is Off -Limits]]: When Ichigo discovers that Karin held an interest in Toshiro, he decides that he's going to kill Toshiro, as [[Really 700 Years Old|he's at least ten times her age.]] Toshiro, who along with the rest of the Gotei 13 is watching Ichigo via a surveillance device, is [[Oh Crap|less than enthusiastic]] about the idea.
* [[Noble Demon]]: See [[Spared By the Adaptation]], {{spoiler|though Ulquiorra is a big maybe. He decides to escort Neliel and the twins not just because he's curious how he died in the original timeline but also to keep Nnoitra from hassling any of them}}.
* [[Oblivious to Love]]: And Admiration, Ichigo again. {{spoiler|This is why Muramasa manages to blindside him.}}
Line 92:
* [[Power Trio]]: Zangetsu is [[The Spock]], Ichigo is [[The Kirk]] and the hollow and Tensa Zangetsu are [[The McCoy]].
* [[Precision F-Strike]]: After being told his plan will ultimately not work, Gin's eyes are [[Eyes Always Shut|wide open]] and he says, “Well....shit.”
* [[Red Eyes, Take Warning]]: {{spoiler|Shakushi. Also a [[Scary Black Man]], literally.}}
** [[Meaningful Name]]: {{spoiler|"Red Death."}}
* [[Ret -Gone]]: {{spoiler|Senna, to a greater extent than in her movie. [[For Want of a Nail|Since Ichigo spent all of his time after Rukia's rescue in Soul Society, she never forms in the first place]]. [[Ripple -Effect -Proof Memory|He doesn't even remember her]] until the [[Applied Phlebotinum]] shows it}}.
* [[Running Gag]]: The various shinigami and visored commenting on how weird it is that Ichigo knows the future.
{{quote| '''Renji:'''"… that's gonna be creepy for a while, isn't it?"}}
Line 101:
* [[Selective Obliviousness]]: One could make a case for Ichigo since his hollow, who's a part of him, never fails to point out his [[Chick Magnet]] status.
* [[Set Right What Once Went Wrong]]: {{spoiler|Several characters are saved from dying the second time around and most if not all of the conflicts outside of Aizen's rebellion are worked around with diplomacy or other similar planning}}.
* [[Shout -Out]]: Ishida is able to [[Taught By Television|rile off several treatments for tuberculosis because of an episode of]] ''[[House (TV)|House]]'' he saw.
** Orihime says Ichigo's adventures could be printed in ''[[Shonen Jump]]''.
** Isshin gets one to ''[[The Princess Bride (Film)|The Princess Bride]]''. [[My Name Is Inigo Montoya|Take a wild]] [[You Killed My Father|guess on]] [[Prepare to Die|what it is.]]
Line 116:
'''Ichigo:''' Um… }}
* [[Tap On the Head]]: During the [[Disguised Hostage Gambit]], most of [[The Cavalry]] gets knocked out before any damage is inflicted on themselves or the hostage. It failed to work on Kyoraku and was deemed as not even worth attempting on Yamamoto.
* [[Taught By Television]]: See [[Shout -Out]] above.
* [[Time Travel Tense Trouble]]:
{{quote| '''Ichigo:''' Hinamori? They were pretty close, right?<br />
Line 122:
'''Ichigo:''' Are. Sorry. She got… will get better. }}
* [[Too Dumb to Live]]/[[Asshole Victim]]: Oh, ''Yammy.''
* [[Trust Password]]: Yamamoto gives Ichigo one of these for when Rukia will be [[Ret -Gone]] d in the future (i.e. the third film). {{spoiler|It also ends up being useful for identification against Aizen's illusions, though Ichigo almost gets killed then anyway since the password is a name and he has trouble remembering it.}}
** Ichigo convinces Gin that he's from the future by explaining the true power of Gin's bankai, which Gin never revealed to anyone.
* [[The Un-Reveal]]: {{spoiler|When Shinji decides to finally use his Bankai, Aizen knocks him out cold before he can even say, "Bankai".}}
