Line 2: [[File:3912_2621.jpg\|frame]] {{quote\| ''In the game of O To Ko Yo, kids will disappear.''}} A 25 minute short about a game of Hide and Seek? That has to be fun for the kids, right? [[Gone Horribly Wrong\|Wrong]]. Line 8: Children wearing fox masks gather in an [[Ghost City\|abandoned city]] after dark to participate in a ritualistic game of [[Deadly Game\|Hide and Seek]] for their own reasons; one boy is looking for his younger sister, and a silent participant in this round sure looks a lot like her. The rules are simple -- if you lose, the demons will take you away. And as the night wears on and the streets [[Light Is Not Good\|light up]], it becomes clear that the chilling rumours are ''not'' exaggerated... {{tropelist}} ~~=== Tropes in ''Kakurenbo'' include: ===~~ * [[All Myths Are True]] * [[All There in the Manual]]: The official website is the only place where you'll learn ''everyone's'' names--only four are revealed in-movie. Line 25 ⟶ 24: * [[Ghost City]] * [[Glowing Eyes of Doom]]: [[Subverted Trope\|Subverted]] with the [[Creepy Twins\|twins]]. Played Straight with the demons. * [[Hey, It's That Voice!]]: The dub contains voice actors from numerous companies, including one boy played by [[Veronica Taylor]]. [[Pokémon (~~Anime~~anime)\|No, he doesn't catch anything.]] ** Not to mention '''[[Dan Green~~\|DAN GREEN~~]]''' as Yaimao. * [[Hunting the Most Dangerous Game]] * [[Ironic Nursery Tune]]: Well, it's not a nursery rhyme, but what else can we put this under? {{quote\| ''"Reeeaady or noooot...''''Here I come."''}} * [[Last Stand]]: The twins make one against the demon pursuing them, choosing to go down fighting when they're cornered. * {{spoiler\|[[Living Battery]]: The machines use the children they captured for this.}} Line 35 ⟶ 34: * [[Ominous Fog]]: Appears at the end. * [[Parental Abandonment]]: Seriously, do any of the kids' parents know where their kids are going, what they're doing? Do they even ''have'' parents? * {{spoiler\|[[Powered Byby a Forsaken Child]]:}} What happens to the children who play the game and lose? {{spoiler\|Their bodies are taken to the center of the town and are plugged into strange machines--their [[Life Energy]] is used to light up the town.}} * [[Red Eyes, Take Warning]]: [[Subverted Trope\|Subverted]] with the [[Creepy Twins\|twins]]. Played Straight with the Demons. * [[Scenery Porn]]: To the point where [~~http~~[wikipedia:~~//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/~~Kakurenbo \|the other wiki's article]] postulates that the theme of the work has something to do with the urbanization of Tokyo. * [[Senseless Sacrifice]]: Yaimao attempts to buy time for Hikkora near the end as they flee. Senseless in that Hikkora then chooses ''not'' to run. * [[There Are No Adults]]: No adults are seen or even referred to in this short--no, no one even mentions having parents. (Early concept art shows that originally, there ''were'' going to be adults in the town, but any adult who came in to find their children was turned into a featureless, mindless zombie.)
