Line 21:
* [[Cross Dresser]]: Both as a Masou-Shoujo and as a [[Cat's Eye|Kisugi sister]] parody. The former mode puts him in a pink frilly dress, and the latter mode (seen in the OVA) puts him in a unitard. Apart from those examples, episode 6 of season 2 has him crossdressing to advertise the tsundere cosplay cafe per popular demand.
** [[Dragged Into Drag]]
* [[Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass]]: Not exactly a moron per se, but Ayumu is mostly a servant to his ladies. But beware: given the chance, he can {{spoiler|rip a Whale Megalo's head off, tear Kyoko to shreds with the Mystletainn, or punch the King of the Night out of immortality}}.
* [[Cursed With Awesome]]: Being a zombie grants him functional immortality, regeneration and [[Super Strength]]. Becoming a masou-shoujo gives him even more powers. However, he lacks a number of [[Required Secondary Powers]], meaning his body will tear itself apart if he uses his super strength too much, and his masou-shoujo outfit is intensely humiliating (but thank God for that [[Laser -Guided Amnesia|memory-wash ability]] taken from Haruna).
** In ''Of The Dead'', he loses his [[Laser -Guided Amnesia]] ability since he broke Mystletainn.
*** He actually popularize the outfit after the incident.
* [[The Dead Can Dance]]: By proxy since becoming a zombie hasn't affected his ability to breakdance.
Line 32:
* [[Expy]]: Doesn't he look like [[Higurashi no Naku Koro Ni|Maebara Keiichi]] to you?
* [[Genre Savvy]]: During the Tsundere challenge.
* {{spoiler|[[Get a Hold of Yourself, Man!]]: After blowing himself up, Ayumu [[Heroic BSOD|blames himself for being too weak to protect Eu]]. Haruna (whom Ariel helped mind-dive into his subconscious) knocked some sense into him, convincing him to come back to life.}}
* [[Harem Hero]]: Type 2.
* [[Heroic BSOD]]: Episode 10 of the first season.
Line 41:
* [[Knight in Shining Armor]]: Swears to stay by Eu's side even after she tearfully confesses to her horrifying secret.
* [[Magical Girl]]: [[Wholesome Crossdresser|Uh, guy.]]
* [[Masculine Girl, Feminine Boy]]: To Maelstrom, during their summary marriage ceremony (which was purely accidental, never mind that Maelstrom continues to insist that it's legal).
* [[Nice Guy]]: He allows three [[Pretty Freeloaders]] in his household despite two of them treating him like crap and the other doing nothing to help him.
* [[Nice Hat]]: As a masou-shoujo shounen.
Line 52:
* [[Whole Costume Reference]]: His jumpsuit during the [[Cat's Eye]] parody in the OVA.
* [[Would Hit a Girl]]: Scratch that -- he would ''chainsaw'' a girl if they messed with his friends.
* [[Yank the DogsDog's Chain]]: Via a [[Chekhov's Gag]] to Episode 1 of the first season, in Episode 1 of "Of The Dead".
** Zig-zagged: After the incident he becomes obscenely popular because of it.
*** Speaking of which, he thought he'd finally be able to get over the incident after Mystletainn was fixed, but his classmates had him [[Dragged Into Drag]] again afterwards anyway, this time to advertise the tsundere cosplay cafe.
Line 83:
* [[I Am a Monster]]: [[Cry Cute|Tearfully]] calls herself one before Ayumu, on account of her powers. [[Knight in Shining Armor|The guy thinks otherwise]].
* {{spoiler|[[Idol Singer]]: Steals the entire competition from Haruna, Seraphim and Sarasvati with her words' powers temporarily transferred to Ayumu via Ariel's machine. Then she's joined by Haruna due to said machine temporarily breaking down.}}
* [[If ItsIt's You ItsIt's Okay]]: One of the few main characters who haven't made fun of Ayumu for crossdressing.
* [[Kawaiiko]]: The Delusion Eus, especially in ''Of The Dead''.
* [[Little Miss Snarker]]: Develops this trait in ''Of The Dead'' towards her Delusion counterparts.
Line 92:
* [[The Nth Doctor]]
* [[Power Incontinence]]: Potentially one of the worst cases on record. Unchecked, her magic would spill out through her words and feelings. Even when she dies, her magic will rage on.
* [[Power Limiter]]: She prevents her magic running wild by [[Twenty Four 24-Hour Armor|wearing her armor]], [[The Voiceless|not speaking]], [[The Stoic|and controlling her emotions]]. {{spoiler|Unfortunately, in episode 9 she lets her emotions get the better of her under duress, leading to some pretty nasty things happening such as her friends getting squashed by a giant kappa doll and Maelstrom nearly dying. And all because the King of the Night threatened her friends.}}
* [[Pretty Freeloader]]
* [[Rapunzel Hair]]
Line 106:
* [[The Voiceless]]: Subverted. She can talk, but due to her [[Power Incontinence]], she communicates through [[Talking With Signs|written notes]] instead.
** {{spoiler|She speaks in episode 11 and in episode 12 she '''sings''', though only because her powers are temporarily transferred to Ayumu so she can do so. Also with the help of Haruna. She does again in episode 7 in ''Of The Dead'' thanks to Haruna borrowing her mana.}}
* [[Twenty Four 24-Hour Armor]]
* [[Leotard of Power|Unitard Of Power]]/[[Sensual Spandex]]: During the [[Cat's Eye]] parody in the OVA. She says (or, more accurately, ''[[Talking With Signs|writes]]'') that it's for "aesthetics".
* [[When She Smiles]]: At the end of Episode 4.
* [[White -Haired Pretty Girl]]
* [[Whole Costume Reference]]: Her jumpsuit during the [[Cat's Eye]] parody in the OVA.
* [[Weirdness Magnet]]: {{spoiler|Sarasvati obviously sees her as this, otherwise she wouldn't put a hit on her in the first place.}}
Line 148:
* [[Ms. Fanservice]]
* [[Nice Hat]]: As a Masou Shoujo.
* [[One -Note Cook]]: Her fried eggs are [[Impossibly Delicious Food|incredible]], although putting them in water bottles is going too far. [[Lethal Chef|When she tries something else, though...]]
** Gets hilariously subverted in Episode 8. Her boiled hijiki (seaweed) is a burnt black mess, but still manages to [[Impossibly Delicious Food|taste]] just as good as the eggs.
* [[Pretty Freeloader]]: Averted, since on occasion she does cook for Ayumu (usually [[One -Note Cook|fried eggs]]).
* [[Purple Eyes]]
* [[Shana Clone]]
Line 167:
* [[Actor Allusion]]: [[Youko Hikasa|Her]] [[Catgirl|cat-]][[K-On|ears experience]]. Amusingly enough, earlier in that same episode, Maelstrom pulls off the "Moe Moe~ KYUN!" stance while her classmates are trying to help her get {{spoiler|Ayumu}} to reciprocate her love for him.
** The [[Ninja Maid]] scene that serves as the season's climax, though, ''does'' play this straight, minus the "Moe Moe~~ KYUN!" bit.
* [[Anti -Hero]]: Type III when she's introduced. She's probably Type II by the current point in the story.
* [[Arson, Murder, and Lifesaving]]
{{quote| "You're a crossdressing [[Catch Phrase|piece of shit]] festering in a bag of rotten garbage, but I believe in your strength."}}
* [[Atomic F -Bomb]]: When she figures out Ayumu {{spoiler|is the reason she and the rest of the girls at the indoor water park ended up wearing extremely [[Stripperiffic]] swimsuits}}, she yells "You piece of '''''SHIT!!!!!!'''''" as she smashes his face in with her foot.
* [[Awesome McCoolname]]
* [[Badass]]
Line 192:
* [[Hair Decorations]]
* [[Expy]]: Think of a more criminally sexy, more badass, more foul-mouthed [[K-On|Mio Akiyama]] (with the [[Youko Hikasa|same voice actress]] to boot). {{spoiler|Also replace the bass with a violin.}}
* [[Family -Unfriendly Violence]]: Becomes a victim of the worst non-fatal in-series example of this in Episode 10 (never mind that deaths here are often bloody, {{spoiler|her eventual [[Disney Death]] from a separate attack by Yoruno later on included}}, if not graphic). She reveals that {{spoiler|her own comrades did this to her after [[You Have Failed Me|Sarasvati had put a hit on her as punishment for abandoning her mission to assassinate Eu]]}}.
* [[Gag Boobs]]/[[Gainaxing]]
** [[Funbag Airbag]]: Come episode 5, after a [[Kiss of the Vampire|hot energy]] [[Girl On Girl Is Hot|charging session]] with Haruna.
Line 201:
* [[Kaleidoscope Eyes]]
** [[Red Eyes Take Warning]]/[[Glowing Eyes of Doom]]: Her eyes glow red as a warning she's ready to kick ass (usually Ayumu's).
* [[Laser -Guided Karma]]: A positive example -- {{spoiler|because she relented on her order to kill Eu, the latter resurrected her with some of her own blood after the King of the Night kills her.}}
* [[Lesbian Vampire]]: Comes across as this in Episode 5 by way of giving Haruna a mouth-to-mouth anesthetic before sucking some blood out of her. Come Episode 7, it is revealed that a heterosexual kiss is tantamount to a [[Shotgun Wedding]] in her culture.
* [[Lethal Chef]]: She helps Haruna cook at the start of Episode 4, which results in something that only Ayumu can ''[[Hollywood Acid|barely]]'' stomach. She gets slightly better.
Line 215:
* [[She's Got Legs]]
* [[Squick]]: [[In Universe]] -- her reaction to sharing Ayumu's bathwater.
* [[Tall, Dark and Bishoujo]]: Now with the [[Youko Hikasa|voice actress]] to boot.
** [[Tall, Dark and Snarky]]
* {{spoiler|[[To Be Lawful or Good]]: She was given orders to assassinate Eu in order to prevent more Megalo from appearing. Ayumu calls her out on it, forcing her to admit that she just doesn't have to heart do it anymore.}}
* [[Tomboy and Girly Girl]]: The girly girl to Maelstrom's tomboy, and also the tomboy to Sarasvati's girly girl. The latter is basically because she uses tough language toward Ayumu and wears slacks (usually dark blue jeans, which she's often, if not always, wearing in promotional material) more often than Sarasvati (if Sarasvati even wears any pants at all).
Line 244:
* [[Hidden Buxom]]: Played with.
* [[High Pressure Emotion]]: Her head turns completely red when she's embarrassed.
* [[If ItsIt's You ItsIt's Okay]]: Other than the photo incident at the end of Episode 1, she's one of the few main characters who haven't made fun of Ayumu for crossdressing.
* [[Imagine Spot]]: Has some [[Hadaka Apron|intere]][[Black Bra and Panties|sting]] [[Covert Pervert|fantasies]] about getting Ayumu's attention.
* [[Improbable Weapon User]]/[[Edible Ammunition]]: Ramen.
* [[Masculine Girl, Feminine Boy]]: To Ayumu, during their summary marriage ceremony (which was purely accidental, never mind that she claims it to be legit).
* {{spoiler|[[Mon]]: Apparently has the Masous' ultimate weapon bonded to her. When she gets squashed by a giant kappa doll in episode 9, it triggers the invocation ritual, and it takes a [[Cooldown Hug]] to prevent things from getting apocalyptic.}}
* {{spoiler|[[Musical Assassin]]: Assists Sera and Sarasvati in closing the gates of the underworld with a triangle.}}
Line 266:
* [[Absolute Cleavage]]: Her [[Stripperiffic]] idol outfit bare this.
* [[A Cup Angst]]: Well, she's actually pretty busty herself, but compared to Seraphim and Maelstrom...
* [[Anti -Hero]]: Type IV --> Type III.
* [[Ascended Extra]]: Come ''Of the Dead'', she becomes a main character in her own right.
* [[Authority Equals Asskicking]]
Line 279:
* [[Elegant Gothic Lolita]]: As an idol.
* [[Fetish]]: Ayumu's backside.
* [[Tomboy and Girly Girl|Girly Girl To Seraphim's Tomboy]]: Compared to Sera, she rarely, if ever, uses tough language or wears pants. This could possibly be the only series where both the tomboy and girly girl in a given dynamic are [[Tall, Dark and Bishoujo]].
* [[Glowing Eyes of Doom]]
* [[Hime Cut]]
Line 291:
** [[Ninja Pirate Zombie Robot]]: Vampire ninja.
** [[Ninja Maid]]
** [[Highly -Visible Ninja]]
* [[Our Vampires Are Different]]
* [[Perpetual Frowner]]/[[Death Glare]]
Line 298:
* [[Red Eyes Take Warning]]
* [[Serious Business]]
* [[Tall, Dark and Bishoujo]]
* [[The Vamp]]: To her fans.
* [[Well -Intentioned Extremist]]: {{spoiler|She puts a contract out on Eu for being a Megalo magnet, and when Sera abandons the mission she puts a hit on her too.}}
* [[When She Smiles]]: Noted by Ayumu.
* [[You Have Failed Me]]: {{spoiler|Put a hit on Seraphim for abandoning her mission to assassinate Eu.}}
Line 325:
* {{spoiler|[[Lady of War]]: Despite being [[Ax Crazy]]}}
* {{spoiler|[[Ninja Pirate Zombie Robot]]: A Zombie-possessed Vampire Megalo Magical Girl Serial Killer.}}
* [[Not -So -Small Role]]: As evidenced by all the spoiler tags.
* {{spoiler|[[Red Eyes Take Warning]]}}
* {{spoiler|[[Ret Gone]]: Her punishment is to be gradually forgotten by everyone, which, to even a crazed killer like her, is a [[Fate Worse Than Death]]. Ayumu promises to never forget her.}}
Line 386:
The only other zombie Eucliwood raised besides Ayumu. Had to be put down after his heart was stained with malice, {{spoiler|but he's still active. He's the one pulling Kyoko's strings.}}
----
* {{spoiler|[[Anti -Villain]]: He simply wants Eu, who still treats him as a friend, to end his misery, going so far as to harm her friends just to provoke her.}}
* {{spoiler|[[Big Bad]]: For the first three light novel volumes and the first anime... [[Anti -Villain|sort of]]. He is responsible for everything that happened starting with Ayumu's death.}}
* {{spoiler|[[Death Seeker]]}}
* [[Evil Counterpart]]: To Ayumu.
Line 408:
* {{spoiler|[[Tragic Villain]]}}
* [[We Used to Be Friends]]: With Eu. {{spoiler|They still are, even if Yoruno already wants to die and Eu is far too unwilling to end his misery.}}
* {{spoiler|[[Who Wants to Live Forever?]]}}
 
=== Ariel (Dai-Sensei) ===
Line 440:
A pink-haired girl who often shows up drunken in the school infirmary. {{spoiler|In reality, she was a masou-shoujo currently under the Queen's Curse following a failed coup she led (and Ariel concocted) against Queen Lilian Lilith a century before Ayumu's death and subsequent zombification, occasionally turning her into "Takeshi Kurusu", a middle-aged man who happens to be a teacher at Ayumu's class.}}
----
* {{spoiler|[[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking]]: After revealing herself as Ayumu's enemy. He asks her, if she was the expert on magic, that Haruna mentioned, the one behind yesterday's Megalo attack, which he somehow ends up asking if she was the reason summer is hot.}}
* {{spoiler|[[Big Bad]]: From the fourth volume onwards and ''Of the Dead''.}}
* [[Bottle Fairy]]: {{spoiler|This is also her only way to break free of being cursed into a man's body, if only for a while.}}
Line 450:
* [[Princess Curls]]
* {{spoiler|[[A Pupil of Mine Until He Turned to Evil|A Pupil Of Mine Until She Turned To Evil]]}}
* [[Rose -Haired Girl]]
* [[Third Person Person]]
* [[Weaksauce Weakness]]: According to {{spoiler|Kyoko}}, it's {{spoiler|tummy rubs}}.
Line 463:
* [[Gratuitous English]]: Oh so much.
* [[Hair of Gold]]
* [[In -Series Nickname]]: "[[Phenotype Stereotype|Anderson]]"
* {{spoiler|[[My Species Doth Protest Too Much]]}}
* [[Not -So -Small Role]]: He has a bigger role in later volumes, where he's revealed to {{spoiler|have come from the underworld.}}

* [[Ms. Fanservice]]
