Line 28:
*** It must be noted that, for Shirou, this is [[Inverted Trope|inverted]]. In his own words:
{{quote| Strangely enough, it was the kitty that really worried me. I was experienced with all the other tasks, but I'd never had a pet before.}}
** Also in [[Wham! Episode|Chapter 24]] during one of Haruka's rants:
{{quote| {{spoiler|Well, I've had enough! [[Screw This, I'm Outta Here|There's no way in hell I'm going to stay here]], not when this freaking place has some kind of [[The Unfettered|demon murderer]] in it! Or that [[Demon Head|freaky hannya ghost lady]], or [[The Dreaded|'Devil Ashikabi']] or [[Bad Powers, Good People|'Grim Reaper' Sekirei]], or [[Bottle Fairy|crazy drunks]]!}}}}
* [[Art Style Dissonance]]: Kusano's doodles of herself and Shirou would be perfectly typical of her apparent age if not for the swords.
Line 59:
* [[Brass Balls|Giant Brass Bowling Balls]]
* [[Breather Episode]]: [[Idiosyncratic Episode Naming|The Sixteenth Wing]] has this {{spoiler|until you find out that [[Mood Whiplash|the Clocktower has found Shirou]].}}
** More fully, [[Idiosyncratic Episode Naming|The Twenty-Seventh Wing]] is a complete [[Breather Episode]]. This was needed since the previous four chapters were all either [[Wham! Episode|Wham Episodes]] or emotionally tense. {{spoiler|It also reopens the possibility that Clock Tower may have '''not''' discovered Shirou.}}
* [[Broken Bird]]: Akitsu, due to being a scrapped number, and [[The Ditz|Musubi]] [[Cloudcuckoolander|of all people]] has a similar distortion to Shirou's own born from the events of her kidnapping and subsequent rescue. It's only in chapter 26, with her reaction to a superpowered enemy nearly killing Shirou, that you realize just how bad the damage really is. There is something seriously ''wrong'' with that girl.
** In chapter 23 {{spoiler|Shirou has fixed Akitsu's condition.}}
Line 78:
* [[Cloudcuckoolander]]: Musubi is just as much a ditz as she was in the source material, but it becomes apparent that this is due to a lack of knowledge about human social norms and her innocent personality rather than a lack of intelligence. Considering that she was raised by scientists in an isolated laboratory, [[Fridge Logic|it is no longer all that surprising.]]
* [[Cool and Unusual Punishment]]: Poor Matsu, being a guinea pig for Shirou's development of his own version of the [[Demon Head|Hannya Mask]].
** {{spoiler|It becomes an [[In Universe|in-story]] [[Funny Aneurysm Moment]] as of [[Wham! Episode|the Twenty Fourth Wing]].}}
** In Chapter 27, Miya bans Shirou from the kitchen so that he can clean up "the mess he made" in {{spoiler|his fight with the Fraga magus}}. Given that Shirou is now more or less immune to her [[Demon Head|Hannya Mask]] (on account of having his own), he [[Lampshade Hanging|wonders]] if this might be [[It Makes Sense in Context|her new method of punishing him]].
*** He's not immune so much as he's built up a resistance to it. That, plus the fact that Shirou outright states that Miya's full wrath is even scarier than her mask.
Line 101:
* [[Curb Stomp Battle]]: ''Very'' one-sided between Shirou and Yomi. On the one hand, he is an Ashikabi who survived the Holy Grail war, has swordsmanship skills as good as [[Lady of War|Miya]]'s, and came across Yomi in a similar situation to [[My Greatest Failure|his greatest failure]] when directly meeting [[Token Mini-Moe|Kusano]] for the first time. On the other, she is a Sekirei, who in Shirou's words is not a true warrior and just follows her Ashikabi's orders. [[Sarcasm Mode|Who do YOU think won?]]
** How about the other part of that battle? Hikari and Hibiki vs. Akitsu and Musubi. We didn't get to see it but if Seo's opinion that they are alive only because Shirou didn't order Akitsu to kill them is anything to go by, the ice lady curbstomped them. Actually, so far ''every'' battle Akitsu fought was a [[Curb Stomp Battle]] on her part. {{spoiler|[[There Is No Kill Like Overkill|And then came The Seventeenth Wing.]]}}
** The Twenty-Fifth Wing? {{spoiler|[[Hero -Killer|The Fraga Magus]] [[The Worf Effect|One-Shots Miya]]. '''[[Lady of War|MIYA!]]'''}}
*** Not as much of a shock when you take into account the salient points, A: Miya's Opponent was a Fraga magus using Fragarach, B: Fragarach, due to GB having trouble finding research material on it when writing the scene writes up the weapon as being a absorb/return-type counter, as opposed to the cancellation type counter that it really is, (thus Miya's own force used against her)C: she was not expecting the attack at all, and had been distracted by Shirou moments before it lands, which while it probably saved her life, it also probably caused her to take the hit right in the face.
* [[Daddy DNA Test]]: Takami's disbelief makes her do some double checks.
Line 133:
* [[Face Fault]]: Not only do Homura and Tsukiumi pull this off when Shirou proclaims that instead of fighting Tsukiumi they'll leave, but Shirou also provides a believable explanation for why the two Sekirei fell face-first on the ground.
* [[Fantastic Racism]]: Numbered Sekirei react like this when they learn [[An Ice Person|Akitsu]] is a scrapped number. Unsurprisingly, Shirou has [[Berserk Button|minimal tolerance]] for such behavior.
* [[Finger -Snap Lighter]]: [[Playing With Fire|Homura]] does this as a bar trick to impress his clients and light cigarettes.
* [[Five-Man Band]]: The residents of Izumo Inn.
** [[Big Good]] - Miya
Line 170:
* [[Good Scars, Evil Scars]]: Shirou has a starburst shaped scar on his chest and back, showing the entry and exit wounds he received from Lancer before he joined the Holy Grail War proper.
* [[Guile Hero]]: Shiro gets a lot of use out of Matsu's information-gathering abilities and [[Invoked Trope|deliberately establishes]] a reputation as [[The Dreaded]] to discourage other Ashikabi from attacking him. Ironically enough, it is because of this trope he felt like he became {{spoiler|the Caster}} of the Sekirei Plan.
** {{spoiler|Shiro created three possible endgames of the Sekirei Plan; [[Honor Before Reason|a Saber plan]] (Go by the rules of the Sekirei Plan. Cons: Although normally planned to have the LEAST casualties in comparison to the other plans, not every Ashikabi, [[Cough -Snark -Cough|*cough* Higa *cough*]], would follow its rules and even then there is the possibility that even the [[True Companions]] would fight each other to the DEATH), [[The Unfettered|a Kiritsugu plan]] (Using guerrilla warfare and assassination to become the last Ashikabi standing and the winner by process of elimination. Cons: Results in the most death and possibly a [[Kill'Em All]] ending), and [[Screw the Rules, I'm Doing What's Right|an Archer plan]] (Destroy MBI in order to free the Sekirei. Cons: Although it would cause fewer Sekirei casualties than the Kiritsugu plan, it would kill a larger number of humans, and with the destruction of MBI, [[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero|the Sekirei may get in danger with the Magus Association]]).}}
*** {{spoiler|With the introduction of the Jinki, Shirou finally has a bridge for ending the Sekirei Plan. By gathering at best case five Jinki or at least three Jinki during Phase 3 of the Sekirei Plan, when all Eight Jinki are at one location Shirou can destroy it or at least hide it all so the MBI CANNOT continue the plan.}}
** {{spoiler|If you are able to strike a deal with [[Blood Knight|Kara]][[Dark Action Girl|suba]] of all people, or in this case Sekirei, you are THIS.}}
Line 177:
{{quote| I wasn't quite sure what was happening to the female lead in this one and I had trouble believing that anyone could really enjoy what was being done to her, but from the expression on her face either she was an incredible actress or as depraved as they come.<br />
"So that's what that was for," I muttered, feeling my own case of shock setting in as I recognized one of the contraptions that Yukari had gotten for me nearly a month ago being put to use, feeling lightheaded when I discovered precisely what the toy was meant for. }}
* [[Hero -Killer]]: Although no one dies by {{spoiler|her}} hands {{spoiler|the Fraga magus is established as one by [[Curb Stomp Battle|dispatching]] [[Lady of War|Miya]] [[The Worf Effect|easily]]. The Fragarach attack she received would have normally terminate a Sekirei contract, had anyone else been hit, and if Shirou hadn't interfered at the last second Miya ''would'' have been killed. Hell, Shirou himself admits that in skill she greatly ''exceeds'' him and is well prepared for her attack; Shirou only won because she has no clue about his Sealing Designation and thus underestimates his abilities.}}
* [[Hero Worshipper]]: Kusano cherishes the very ground Shirou walks on since he saved her from Yomi, and now {{spoiler|she wants him to train her in swordplay}}.
* [[Hopeless With Tech]]: Shirou, so very much. You know you've got a problem when ''[[The Ditz|Musubi]]'' knows more about computers than you.
Line 192:
* [[The Internet Is for Porn]]: [[Crowning Moment of Funny|Or so Shirou thinks.]]
** So does Musubi. [[Completely Missing the Point|Now if only she could find out what porn is...]]{{spoiler|even though she KNOWS what sex is.}}
* [[ItsIt's Not You, ItsIt's My Enemies]]: {{spoiler|The reason Shirou left Saber and Rin behind.}} Exacerbated to even higher levels than usual for the trope by the fact that the enemy in question is, technically, an organization they kinda rely on heavily and belong to.
** [[I Want My Beloved to Be Happy]]
* [[Kawaiiko]]: Matsu.
* [[Kick the Dog]]: Shirou has a minor version of this {{spoiler|in Chapter 11, when Musubi exclaims how much she loves him. He makes sure to apologize to his Sekirei after he calms down}}.
** A truer example {{spoiler|happens in [[Wham! Episode|the Twenty Fourth Wing]]. As punishment for forcefully revealing one of Shirou's darkest secrets, Matsu [[Tear Jerker|gets taken off the]] [[It Makes Sense in Context|whiteboard]].}}
* [[Knight in Sour Armor]]: Shirou's had it pretty rough so far...
* [[Knight Templar Big Brother]]: Sure, nothing's happened yet, but if his thoughts and actions regarding Yukari and Shiina as well as Takami and Homura are anything to go by, if anyone ever hurts his sister, Shirou will come down on said someone like the wrath of a whole pantheon of [[Ax Crazy]] gods. {{spoiler|Going by the manga storyline, woe be to [[Manipulative Bastard|Higa]] if he dares to try to get to Shirou through Yukari.}}
Line 206:
* [[Luminescent Blush]]: [[An Ice Person|Akitsu]] does this whenever Shirou initiates physical contact with her. Considering [[Emotionless Girl|her nature]], it's rather endearing.
* [[Masquerade]]: Even as a third-rate magus, Shirou refuses to discuss magecraft with those who aren't involved in it.
** {{spoiler|[[Broken Masquerade]]: [[Wham! Episode|Chapter 25]]. As one reviewer put it, "Cat status: out of the bag and accelerating towards escape velocity."}}
* [[Master Swordsman]]: Shirou Emiya, [[Lady of War|Miya]], and [[Dark Action Girl|Karasuba]].
* [[Meaningful Echo]] / [[Call Back]]: "It's fine, I trust you." First said from Shirou to Miya {{spoiler|when revealing an edited version of how Rin, Saber and himself got together and broke up}}. Miya then turns it around on him {{spoiler|when revealing the Sekireis' past}}.
* [[Mistaken for Gay]]: Yasaka's idolization of "Kagari" (aka Homura) leads to both Shirou and Homura wondering if he's gay.
** Which may or may not be true, how about Homura and Shirou having to deny "being like that" all the time?
* [[Mood Whiplash]]: In the Twenty-Third Wing{{spoiler|, from Akitsu's [[Heartwarming Moment|being winged]] to Matsu's [[Wham! Line]] that led to the [[Wham! Episode]] afterwards.}}
* [[Moral Myopia]]: A minor version. When Shirou gives a (very watered-down) explanation of what prompted him to leave London in the first place:
{{quote| {{spoiler|For a moment I could see them making the connection. Me: capable of fighting against Miya for a prolonged period of time. Them: privileged rich kid bullies. Result:…}}<br />
Line 221:
* [[Mysterious Past]]: Initially Shirou is a complete mystery to Matsu.
{{quote| '''Matsu''': "Shirou Emiya," she interrupted me, still staring at me. "True age: unknown, speculated at twenty. Birthday: unknown. True family: unknown, presumed dead. Adoptive father: Kiritsugu Emiya. Status: dead. Grades from elementary school to high school: average. Observed personality during that time: altruistic, extremely accommodating. Upon graduation from high school departed for England." During this rapid summation of my life the newcomer had began marching towards me, her hands swinging wide as she tromped audibly to where the rest of us were gathered. I grimaced, nonplussed by the sudden and rather blunt summation of my life by a complete stranger. "Activities during England: unknown. Returned to Japan five months ago and began living in Shin Tokyo and immediately enrolled in preparatory school for Shin Tokyo University. First attempt: failure. Second registry already filed for future attempts."}}
** Matsu eventually attempts to pry into it, {{spoiler|[[Wham! Episode|with devastating results]]. See [[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero]].}}
* [[Mythology Gag]]: In Chapter 14, Shirou, when attacked by the Sekirei Toyotama with the sun at her back to blind him, compares it with other old tricks such as saying his shoes were untied. Which brings to mind a certain [[Crowning Moment of Funny]] in [[The Hill of Swords|Gabriel Blessing's previous work]].
** In Chapter 3 when Yukari visits Shirou and almost breaks his back with a flying tackle, Akitsu seems prepared to attack Yukari thinking that Shirou, her Master, is being attacked but relaxes when she realizes it's only his sister. A similar scene happened in [[The Hill of Swords]] when Eleanor, Louise's sister, attacked her in her room and the only thing that stopped Shirou from painting the wall with the blond's blood was the realization that it was Louise's sister.
Line 229:
** Shirou deconstructing [[Defeat Means Friendship]] for Musubi is similar to how he deconstructed [[Love Potion]] for Montmorency in [[The Hill of Swords]].
** Here's another one involving [[The Hill of Swords]]:
{{quote| '''Shirou''' concerning Yukari: "There has got to be something wrong with that girl, Takami must have dropped her on her head a few times when she was a baby." {{spoiler|This is one of the few funny parts of the [[Wham! Episode]].}}}}
** And again from [[The Hill of Swords]], three lines that never fail to invoke a shiver in we readers:
{{quote| They became fragile. They became dangerous. They became broken.}}
Line 246:
* [[The Nose Knows]]: In addition to Seo's canon ability, Shirou is able to sense magical phenomena, which his brain interprets as smells. This allows him to sense any nearby Sekirei, how many there are, ''and'' get a general idea of what their abilities are.
** [[Tastes Like Purple]]: He describes Miya's aura as smelling like regret.
* [[Nothing Is the Same Anymore]]: After 23 chapters where arguably nothing happened, we have a [[Wham! Episode]]. Ouch.
** [[It Got Worse]]. ''Two'' [[Wham! Episode|Wham Episodes]], back to back, with the second one arguably worse than the first.
* [[The Not-So-Harmless Punishment]]: Matsu's punishment of {{spoiler|being written off the whiteboard}}. It doesn't look that bad, until you think about the fact that {{spoiler|Sekirei live for their Ashikabi}}, when you realize it's quite a sadistic one.
* [[Offscreen Teleportation]]: Miya ''literally'' does this in chapter 27 when Kazehana pulls her [[Naked Apron]] stunt.
Line 265:
** A very subtle, yet poignant example occurs in chapter 28. Uzume has always backed down from whatever she was doing when Miya even ''starts'' to conjure up her [[Demon Head|Hannya Mask]]. It's probably one of the most terrifying things in the world for her. When she's questioning Shirou about how powerful [[Healing Factor|Avalon]] is, she mentions that it didn't heal [[Scars Are Forever|the scar]] Miya received from Fragarach, something the landlady is a bit touchy about. Miya remarks that Uzume should probably pick her words more carefully and begins to summon the mask. Uzume just ''brushes her off'' like it's ''nothing!'' {{spoiler|Her Ashikabi is hospitalized with a terminal, incurable disease, and she wants to know if Avalon could succeed where medicine couldn't. Considering that Saber was likely ''immortal'' when she carried it, this might actually work.}}
* [[Precision F-Strike]]: Shirou has not one but two "F_ck"s in chapter 17, after {{spoiler|the Clock Tower finds him and Minaka announces the second phase of the Sekirei Plan, meaning that Shirou can no longer freely leave the city}}.
** Shirou is very much a [[Nice Guy]], the moment he uses this trope in pure anger he is '''[[OOC Is Serious Business|DEAD SERIOUS]]'''. {{spoiler|Just like the first [[Wham! Episode]].}}
* {{spoiler|[[Properly Paranoid]]: Shirou in explaining WHY he didn't abandon the Sekirei Plan.}}
{{quote| {{spoiler|"I've already seen [[Fate Stay Night|one secret tournament nearly end the world]], Asama-san, I'm not going to turn my back [[Harsher in Hindsight|on a second one that might do the same]]."}}}}
Line 277:
** Shirou: The Ashikabi with Swords {{spoiler|and "The Asura Ashikabi of the North"}}
* [[Refuge in Audacity]]: [[Invoked Trope|Deliberately invoked]] by Shirou. When his plan to stay anonymous and keep his cards close to his chest for as long as possible is ruined by a major confrontation, he decides to {{spoiler|play to his strengths and the strength of his flock by [[The Dreaded|building up a reputation]] for being [[The Juggernaut|completely unstoppable]]; the Sekirei Plan's version of [[Disc One Final Boss|Berserker and Ilya]].}} He even refers to this trope by name!
* {{spoiler|[[The Reveal]]: [[Wham! Episode|The Twenty-Fourth Wing]] revealed the [[Awful Truth]] of both himself and of the Holy Grail War without revealing the existence of [[Nasuverse]] magic. The Twenty-Sixth Wing revealed the existence of [[Nasuverse]] magic and Shirou's true thoughts of why he didn't want to reveal it. The Twenty-Eighth Wing revealed the differences between the Holy Grail War and the Sekirei Plan, Shirou's goal in joining the plan, and Saber's identity to the residents. The Twenty-Ninth Wing reveals Miya's truth of the Sekirei Plan and about the Jinki, which can cause MASS GENOCIDE!}}
* [[Rouge Angles of Satin]]: Not as bad as [[The Hill of Swords]] could get on occasion, but still noticable nevertheless. Let's face it: homonyms are just not Gabriel Blessing's strong suit.
** Neither is avoiding the [[Department of Redundancy Department]].
Line 291:
** [[Platonic Life Partners]]
* [[Shoo Out the Clowns]]: When was the last time Yasaka showed up?
** Considering the meta example of [[Suspiciously Specific Denial]] below, he [[Flip -Flop of God|mi]][[Word of God|ght]] make a return soon.
* [["Silly Me" Gesture]]: [[Cloudcuckoolander|Musubi]] does this when she realizes that she did something weird/foolish.
* [[Skinship Grope]]: Yukari to Shirou's Sekirei, ''constantly'', with the only exception being [[Token Mini-Moe|Kusano]].
** And now Musubi has revealed that she does this to Akitsu. And they both like it.
* [[Sliding Scale of Idealism Versus Cynicism]]: Most of the Good Sekirei lean towards the Idealism side while some of the older ones are a bit cynic but still lean more on Idealism. Shirou has some idealism but is very heavy on Cynicism due to the Holy Grail War {{spoiler|and the fact that the Magus Association is after his head}}. A good part of the story is about the differences between those two sides [[Cerebus Rollercoaster|and to determine where the scale is currently scaled at]]. {{spoiler|For example, [[Wham! Episode|The Twenty-Fourth and Twenty-Fifth Wings]] tipped the scale quite a bit towards the Cynical end and as of [[Breather Episode|The Twenty-Seventh Wing]] tipped the scale towards the middle with Idealism being favored.}} As calm as it is now it is just another [[Wham! Episode]] away before [[It Got Worse|possibly turning]] [[Gotta Catch Them All|the Sekirei Plan]] [[Tournament Arc|into the]] [[Kill'Em All|Holy Grail War]]. {{spoiler|And Shirou himself recognized this possibility.}}
* [[The Smart Guy]]: Homura is well versed in Mythology, he identified Saber's true identity and legends with ease, serving as the one who explains things to Sekirei when Shirou loses them.
* [[Spared By the Adaptation]]: Mitsuha (Sekirei number 38), [[Canon|canonically]] terminated early in the game by Karasuba while she and Akitsu were hunting unwinged Sekirei for her Ashikabi Hayato Mikogami, ends participating in the first match of the Third Stage.
Line 330:
* [[Underestimating Badassery]]: Like ''[[The Hill of Swords]]'', Shirou is underestimated before he starts fighting.
* [[Unwanted Harem]]: With particular emphasis on "unwanted". Shirou, {{spoiler|upon realizing that winging is a "mating ritual", has a panic attack and flees to have some time for a nervous breakdown}}. He gets better, but is still less than pleased with the situation. Eventually he gets over it and decides to make the best of the situation.
* [[Wham! Episode]]: Twenty-Fourth Wing{{spoiler|, where most of the skeletons in Shirou's closet are revealed to his flock,}} is ''brutal''.
** Chapter 25: {{spoiler|Another mage found Shirou, said mage gravely injures Miya, and Shirou is forced to reveal his magic to the household.}}
* [[Wham! Line]]: {{spoiler|In Twenty Third Wing:}}
{{quote| {{spoiler|[[Playful Hacker|Matsu]]: "I mean the tournament that happens in [[Fate Stay Night|Fuyuki]] [[Nasuverse|City]] of course!"}} [[It Got Worse|Cue]] [[Wham! Episode]].}}
* [[What Happened to The Mouse?]]: Shirou's MBI Card. Now that he has his own job, he seems to have forgotten he possesses a card that has virtually unlimited funds. Canonical, Miya doesn't honor the MBI money: she practiced the Work or Get Out policy in Izumo Inn. "In Flight" brings this up in chapter 18.
* [[What Measure Is a Non-Human?]]: As far as Shirou is concerned, the Sekirei may not be human, but they're still people who deserve to be treated with dignity and kindness. Behaving otherwise is a sure way to [[Berserk Button|piss him off]]. {{spoiler|Matsu starts to point this out as a potential problem for Shirou.}}
Line 339:
{{quote| " I was cruising through the wiki for facts about apostles and it turned out the idea would never have worked, not without the type-lunatics destroying me forever." }}
* [[What the Hell, Hero?]]: During the attempt to convince Tsukiumi to join Shirou's harem he chews out Musubi and Homura for suggesting that he should force the unwilling Tsukiumi to join, describing the process as very close to [[Rape Is a Special Kind of Evil|rape]]. Which, in a way, it ''is''.
** Matsu, {{spoiler|[[Wham! Episode|the Twenty Fourth Wing]]}}, that is all.
** {{spoiler|Shirou himself has one in [[The Reveal|the Twenty Sixth Wing]]. His Sekirei are tired of how Shirou keeps holding down his burdens all the while telling them it was all his responsibility, even if it means that he would [[Dying Alone|die alone]]. '''They want''' to stand besides him in both the good moments and the serious moments. '''They want''' to help ease the burden and let him know that '''they''' are here for him. '''They want''' him to know that [[You Are Not Alone|he is not alone]].}}
* [[When All You Have Is a Hammer|When All You Have Is]] {{spoiler|[[Deus Sex Machina|A Tantric Ritual]]}}: {{spoiler|How Shirou winged Akitsu.}}
Line 347:
* [[The Worf Effect]]: The first thing {{spoiler|the Fraga magus does is burn down Izumo Inn.}} The second? {{spoiler|[[Curb Stomp Battle|One-shot]] [[Lady of War|Miya]], goddess of the Sekirei.}}
* [[Would Hit a Girl|Would Hit Girls and Sekirei]]: If you are on Shirou's opposing side, he will take you seriously. Gender be '''DAMNED'''!
* [[Wrong Genre Savvy]]: Shirou's experience with the Holy Grail War leads him to ''drastically'' misunderstand the nature of the Sekirei Plan for quite some time. {{spoiler|And once he understands (or thought he did, see Shirou's [[What the Hell, Hero?]] above) and recovers from his [[Freak -Out]], [[Genre Savvy|he sees the obvious differences between them]] and is terribly disappointed and angry with the MBI (see [[Dude, Not Funny]] above). [[Word of God|GB]] wants to make Shirou [[Dangerously Genre Savvy]] in the combative parts in the Sekirei Plan.}}
* [[Yaoi Fangirl]]: Matsu breaks out in perverted giggling/panting when Miya asks if Homura's reaction to Shirou was as enthusiastic as the rest of the girls'. Shirou explicitly compares her laugh to that of a [[Dirty Old Man]].
* {{spoiler|[[You Are Not Alone]]: Shirou's Sekirei pull this on him in chapter 26.}}
* [[You Have Got to Be Kidding Me!]]: Shirou, when he realizes that Tsukiumi is a truly archetypal [[Tsundere]].
** {{spoiler|Shiro's response when he finds out Karasuba is reacting to him.}}
* [[You Put the X In XY]]: Used by Shirou in chapter 18.
