{{tropelist}}
* [[Ain't Too Proud to Beg]]: Samurai Kyotaro makes an act of unthinkable (for a samurai) public abasement before an actor (not the lowest possible social class, but not far from it) in order to keep the manufacture of penicillin from falling into the hands of a con man.
* [[Anyone Can Die]]: Several, including a prostitute who dies despite Jin's best efforts to save her (but does so with a dignity she would not otherwise have had), and {{spoiler|Ogata-sensei, when his tuberculosis finally kills him}}.
* [[Arc Words]]: See the page quote.
Line 28 ⟶ 29:
* [[Disney Death]]: {{spoiler|Ryoma, who falls into a river and is nearly washed out to sea during an assassination attempt. His friends and enemies believe him dead for several weeks before he makes his way back to Edo}}
* [[Dorama]]
* [[Eureka Moment]]: Jin has one when, after wracking his brain for quite a while for all the details of his fiancee's steampunk-level process for making penicillin, he accidentally knocks over a jug of oil. This reminds him that oil is a key element of the step of the process where he was stuck.
* [[Fan Girl]]: Hatsune is the very-restrained 19th-century version, with her worship of an actor in an Edo theatre company.
* [[Fetus Terrible]]/[[Undead Child]]: The preserved fetus in a jar that doesn't seem to be quite as dead as it should be, and which also seems to have ''something'' to do with Jin's time travel.
Line 40 ⟶ 42:
* [[Jerkass]]: Jin, for most of the back end of season one, as he offends friends and colleagues, alienates the women who love him, and violates his oaths as a doctor in his desperation to ensure that Miki still gets born (and by implication, remains his fiancee).
* [[Jidai Geki]]: In-universe, Jin speculates that he's fallen into one (or a dream of one), until he is splattered by the blood of a murdered man.
* [[Meatgrinder Surgery]]: Jin's emergency treatment of Kyotaro in the first episode, performed (in part) with ''carpenter's tools''.
* [[The Medic]]: Jin, who finds himself called upon for emergency medical treatment several times.
* [[Meganekko]]: Hatsune, a nearsighted prostitute given glasses by Kyotaro. Somewhat subverted in that she only wears them regularly for him.
Line 56 ⟶ 59:
* [[Prop Recycling]]: Exterior sequences are filmed in a simply ''massive'' standing set of a pre-20th-century Japanese town/city that is apparently shared by several production companies and used for any number of historical films and shows.
* [[Read the Fine Print]]: The loan contract from the abortionist, who wrote in a repayment period of seven days while verbally promising it would be seven years.
* [[Ripple Effect Indicator]]: The photograph of Jin and Miki.
* [[Samurai]]: The Tachibana are a samurai clan. And there are samurai extras almost everywhere.
* [[Screw Destiny]]: What several characters plus most of the audience are practically screaming at Jin toward the end of the first season.
Line 64 ⟶ 68:
** The fetus in formaldehyde which seems to be somehow key to the time travel -- {{spoiler|particularly whenever it opens its eyes}}.
* [[Steampunk]]: Probably the best description of the ''extremely'' low-tech production system for penicillin that Miki designed in order to show up Jin early in their relationship.
* [[That Old Time Prescription]]: Averted with the steam-age process for creating penicillin. The closest Jin comes to this trope in the process is the search for the right mold to use as the first step.
* [[Time Travel]]
* [[Victorian Novel Disease]]: Ogata-sensei's tuberculosis, which while more realistic than the usual implementation of this trope is still rather underplayed.
