Kare Kano: Difference between revisions

* [[Broken Ace]]: Arima, ''very'' much so.

** Yukino is as well, but a far milder version.

** They also met in their mid-teens, so really there's nothing all that sibling like in their relationship.

* [[Cast Herd]]

* [[She Is All Grown Up|He Is All Grown Up]]: Takefumi much to Tsubaki's disappointment.

* [[Heterosexual Life Partners]]: Arima and Asaba, especially in the noticeably darker-in-tone second half of the manga.

** And for a bit of unintentional hilarity, Rachel Lillis plays Yukino's mom in almost the exact same tone as her Jessie voice (albeit much nicer). She also uses her Misty voice for the nondescript school girls.

** One can easily hear Tracey Sketchit, voiced by Ed Paul, in the voice of one of the students in Episode 2 and in the character of Takefumi.

'''Arima:''' You're going to be very useful. Well, I won't force you to do it. If you don't want to, just say so. That is, if you have that kind of courage.<br />

'''Yukino:''' *teeth clench* You scheming bastard. }}

** Which begun as an [[Intergenerational Friendship]] with a relatively small age difference.

* [[Medium Blending]]

* [[Older Than They Look]]: Tsubasa, who at fifteen was confused with a middle-schooler by her ''younger'' stepbrother.

** And Yukino's parents, who don't look they're nearing 40.

* [[Parental Abandonment]]: Arima is the biggest case, but there are several others.

* [[Pettanko]]: Sakura Tsubaki, resident [[Tomboy]], is proud to admit she has no boobs at all.

* [[Portmanteau Series Nickname]]: See intro.

* [[Real Song Theme Tune]]: The ending, "Yume no Naka e", released by Yousui Inoue in 1973 and [[Covered Up|made known to the generation that watched the show]] by Yuki Saitou in 1989. Arguably [[Covered Up]] again for overseas anime fans, who only know it as "the duet from ''[[Kare Kano]]''".

* [[Roaring Rampage of Revenge]]: Episode 10 of the anime; when Tsubasa goes a BIT too far in her vendetta against Yukino...and incurs Yukino's wrath.

* [[Sacred First Kiss]]
