Line 41:
* [[Cannot Spit It Out]]: {{spoiler|Sasamori}}'s crush on Toru, sadly because she {{spoiler|literally cannot imagine Toru accepting a confession from her}}... which actually saves her from the Iris Hunter.
** Also {{spoiler|Tokita to Kuga,}} which Asahi calls him on when he laments that his feelings "never reached" {{spoiler|Kuga.}}
* [[Chekhov's Gun]]: {{spoiler|Hijiri's knife that he once used to [[Self -Harm|cut himself]]. He tried to prevent Kuga from committing suicide by throwing his knife at her leg when she ran in order to jump off the roof. It also is Kuga's alternative way to commit suicide, good thing Tokita came at the last moment to save her.}}
* [[The Chessmaster]]: Toru is a budding Chessmaster, by necessity to maintain his minimal exposure while helping people, best displayed in the Iris Hunter arc.
* [[Class Is in Room X-01]]: [[Averted Trope|Averted]]. The six main characters are in two different classes.
Line 55:
* {{spoiler|[[Driven to Suicide]]}}: When Hijiri {{spoiler|thought he failed to save Tachibana, whom he likes}}. Fortunately, Toru helped him.
** {{spoiler|Kuga, after she learned the trouble she caused to her childhood friend Tokita and realized that she broke her promise to him.}}
* [[Early
* [[Emotionless Girl]]: Kuga looks half-asleep most of the time, and her emotional displays are very low-key - rarely more than a small smile, especially when compared to Asahi and Sasamori. {{spoiler|This is because she's just recently started expressing them, having always valued other people's emotions over her own.}}
* [[Everyone Can See It]]: Played with and then played straight. Because of her initial approach, everyone around assumes something is up with Toru and Sasamori, which gives Toru no end of additional hell piled on top of his normal daily hell. {{spoiler|When it comes true, everyone around Toru and Sasamori realize or learn it fairly quickly, though Toru steadfastly refuses to acknowledge the possibility himself.}}
Line 161:
* [[Two-Teacher School]]: So far, only two or three teachers have been seen (depending on whether or not you think the older teacher dealing with Asahi's discipline in chapters 2 and 3 is the same as Toru and Kuga's barely-visible homeroom teacher in chapter 7).
* [[Unlucky Childhood Friend]]: Katagiri to Hijiri (in flashbacks), and possibly {{spoiler|definitely}} Tokita to Kuga.
* [[Un
* [[What Could Have Been]]: ''Iris Zero'' went through a few different forms during planning, mostly outlined in [[Bonus Material]]:
** Toru was originally supposed to have been the only one with an Iris, surrounded by normal people - one old idea was someone who could see the [[Red String of Fate]] connecting others but could not fall in love himself - until the creator decided he had no distinguishing features other than his power and switched it around.
** The original series was supposed to have been a set of one-shots with a different protagonist every chapter, collected into a single volume. (Toru, Koyuki, Asahi, Hijiri, and Harumi in that order.) The publisher decided they liked the idea enough to request serialization instead of a limited run.
* [[What Kind of Lame Power Is Heart, Anyway?]]: Apparently there's an Iris for telling what dish will be served for dinner.
* [[Wise Beyond Their Years]]: Toru can be one perceptive kid.
* [[Zen Survivor]]: Toru.
