[[File:kekkaishicovervol1ss8x.jpg|frame|Yoshimori and [[Non -Human Sidekick|Madarao]]]]
 
 
Line 22:
* [[Alpha Bitch]]: Mao.
* [[Always Chaotic Evil]]: Averted. While the Karasumori grounds ''do'' mess with ghosts' heads, they still have the capacity to listen to reason. Or at least to the person about to kill them.
* [[Anti -Hero]]: Child Yoshimori is a Type I. Gen is a very obvious Type III. Masamori is a subtle Type III, with a little bit of Type IV thrown in.
* [[Armor -Piercing Slap]]: Tokine on Yoshimori, for putting so many people in danger by forcing them to {{spoiler|rescue him from Kokuburo Castle.}} Even Masamori was impressed.
* [[Asleep in Class]]: Yoshimori has monster-fighting duties every night, so he sleeps in class (and naps on the roof during breaks) practically every day.
* [[The Atoner]]: Hazama Tokimori.
Line 59:
* [[Covert Pervert]]: Sen and Shuu.
* [[A Day in The Limelight]]: Heisuke Matsudo and Risa (Lisa) Kagami and their big battle.
** Kekkaishi really seems to love this trope. Everybody from [[Non -Human Sidekick|Madarao]] to the teachers at Yoshi's school get in on the act at some point.
* [[Daiju]] The series started out like this, but after a while the focus shifted to stopping Byaku.
* [[Dead All Along]]: As of Chapter 316 it's revealed that {{spoiler|Tokimori}} is only in a semi-physical state and is sticking around only because {{spoiler|of a feeling of obligation to the Lord of Karasumori, his son.}}
Line 73:
* [[Dude Looks Like a Lady]]: Kagemiya Sen.
** Also Lord Tan'Yuu in the shrine where Masamori kills Mudou.
* [[Eek! aA Mouse!|Eek A Cockroach]]: Tokine does not like the little buggers. She even goes so far as to call them "dark creatures," and if she ever runs into one, she ''will'' make [[Hilarity Ensues|hilarity ensue.]]
** Tokiko shows it runs in the family.
* [[Eleventh Hour Superpower]]: Yoshimori pulls this off often, such as unleashing a {{spoiler|MASSIVE Zekkai to kill Kaguro}}, and also {{spoiler|unlocking the ultimate [[Super Mode|Musou State]] to save Karasumori from Yumeji's minions}}. Deconstructed when he tried to invoke this deliberately when the school was being swarmed by ayakashi butterflies. His solution was to create a massive kekkai and try to Metsu and destroy only the butterflies and nothing else. When Tokiko correctly [[What the Hell, Hero?|points out]] that he has no idea how to do this, he out right says [[Heroic Second Wind|"You don't know what you can do until you try"]]. Tokiko had to [[Sadistic Choice|create a clone of Tokine and challenge him to destroy the fake and not the real one, with the same kekkai]], to get him to come to his senses.
* [[Evil Makes You Monstrous]]: Kaguro
* [[Evil Plan]]: In the first arc it was the Kokobouro trying to take over Katasumori.
Line 109:
* [[Gone Horribly Right]]: Tokimori just wanted to gift {{spoiler|his unborn son, Lord of Karasumori}} with powers. He succeeded.
* [[Good Is Not Nice]]: '''Masamori''', although he does a good job of hiding it when he needs to. Gen is a more obvious example.
* [[Good Scars, Evil Scars]]: Tokine's scar on her hand and arm is shown a lot, since the events around it had such a large impact on forming Yoshimori's personality.
* [[Gratuitous English]]:
** The school's English teacher even gets knocked out once for using it too much.
** Hakubi is pretty fond of calling Tokine "Honey".
* [[Green Lantern Ring]]: Kekkai have [[Magic aA Is Magic A|simple enough rules]], but can still be used for an astonishing variety of things.
* [[Handsome Lech]]: Sen-chan has shades of this. The fact that Tokine wears [[Skirt Over Slacks|shorts under her skirt]] is borderline [[Serious Business]] to him.
* [[Hannibal Lecture]]: Masamori gets a devastating one from Mudou.
Line 135:
* [[Limited Wardrobe]]: Practically all the characters who don't have to interact with the general human population on a daily basis suffer from this. Pretty much the only exceptions seem to be Yoshimori and Tokine, who can occasionally be seen wearing normal clothing in addition to their school and kekkaishi uniforms.
* [[Loads and Loads of Characters]]: Oh yes.
* [[Load -Bearing Boss]]: The end of the Kokuboro arc.
* [[Love Makes You Evil]]: Sousui did all of ''that'' for Suigetsu. His wife. He never wanted to kill her, and only wanted his memories back, and when he finally remembered everything, ''[[Driven to Suicide|he committed freaking suicide.]]''
* [[Luminescent Blush]]: Yoshimori from time to time.
* [[Magic aA Is Magic A]]: Kekkai magic has some simple rules that are explained right at the beginning. Despite this, there's enough wiggle room for [[Green Lantern Ring|a lot of creativity]] on the part of the users.
* [[Magic Skirt]]
* [[Maneki Neko]]: In episode 48 of the anime, one of these is among the objects chucked out a window when Sen is chewing out Yoshimori.
Line 162:
** [[Rie Saitou]]: Tokine Yukimura
** [[Yoko Honna]]: Risa (Lisa) Kagami
* [[Noblewomans Laugh|Noblewoman's Laugh]]: Tokine, sometimes to mock Yoshimori, but occasionally to inspire him.
* [[Non -Human Sidekick]]: Ghost dogs.
* [[The Nose Knows]]: Madarao and Hakubi.
* [[Not Quite Flight]]: Kekkaishi can use their powers to continually create midair platforms, allowing them to travel long vertical distances and engage flying enemies.
Line 169:
* [[Obake]]: The Ayakashi.
* [[Omnicidal Maniac]]: {{spoiler|The Sousui, so very much.}}
* [[One -Winged Angel]]: Tons. Most ayakashi transform into bigger, tougher and uglier forms if they manage to stay within Karasumori's bounds long enough. Then there are ayakashi masquerading as humans, who assume their true forms in battle. Madarao enters one of these if his collar is taken off. Inverted with Yoki, who becomes smaller and more compact as he powers up, turning from a [[Mighty Glacier]] to a [[Lightning Bruiser]].
* [[Onmyodo]]: The Kekkaishi's shikigami.
* [[Otaku]]: Yoshimori is a cake and [[Sweet Tooth|sweets]] otaku.
Line 181:
* [[Prehensile Tail]]: All nine of Princess' tails are capable of wrapping around things; one of her frequent means of attacking an opponent is to [[Combat Tentacles|practically mummify them in her tails]] with only their face exposed.
* [[Razor Wind]]: The Ougi Clan's standby.
* [[Red Oni, Blue Oni]]: Yoshimori and Tokine.
** Masamori makes a good Blue Oni himself.
* [[Roof Hopping]]: Bonus points go to using kekkai as hopping platforms.
Line 196:
* [[Shout Out]]: Kouya and Madarao give us a shoutout to ''[[Fullmetal Alchemist|FMA]]'', or more precisely, Edward Elric's [[Berserk Button]] when Madarao calls Yoshimori "Shorty."
** This comes up again in Episode 25, where Tokine (like Winry) claims she likes taller boys and Yoshimori immediately goes [[Blue With Shock]] for several minutes. Doubles as an [[Actor Allusion]] in the dub.
* [[Shut UP, Hannibal]]: Yoshimori does this to Kaguro, but Kaguro doesn't really seem to mind.
* [[Sitting On the Roof]]: Yoshimori practically lives on the school roof. Well, sleeps there, anyway.
* [[Skirt Over Slacks]]: Tokine.
Line 205:
* [[Spoiler Opening]]: {{spoiler|Gen}} shows up in the anime's OP.
* [[Standing in The Hall]]: Yoshimori has to do this in one episode, but cheats by putting the bucket atop an invisible kekkai. Silly kekkaishi, that never works!
* [[Star -Crossed Lovers]]: While the whole "coming from rival familes" thing fits Yoshimori and Tokine, the trope grand prize goes to Tokimori Hazama's affair with {{spoiler|the Princess of Karasumori, who he was hired to protect.}}
* [[The Stoic]]: Byaku practically never shows any emotion, even in the heat of an intense battle.
* [[Supernatural Sensitivity]]: Kekkaishi have the ability to sense when an Ayakashi enters the Karasumori site.
Line 225:
* [[Unskilled but Strong]]: Yoshimori, though he is improving.
* [[Verbal Tic]]: Ohkigiburuma, otherwise known as the kyo-kyo-kyo-KYO-KYO-KYO-KYOOOOOOOO monster.
* [[Wake Up, Go to School, Save The World]]: Somehow, Tokine still manages to get good grades. Yoshimori, not so much.
* [[Walking Wasteland]]: {{spoiler|Chushinmaru, Lord of Karasumori, wiped out whole towns and forests due to his uncontrollable power to drain life-force. That, as much as his power to strengthen Ayakashi, is why he was sealed.}}
* [[Weak but Skilled]]: Tokine's lack of strength is made up for by her precision, as noted by Tokiko when she tried Masamori's multi-kekkai technique.
Line 231:
* [[We Have Reserves]]: Masamori is disgusted when the rest of the Urakai leadership show casual, callous disdain about the rank and file. They explicitly state that their men are of no consequence, and that as long as the leadership survives the Urakai will live.
* [[Whack a Monster]]: Yoshimori and Tokine end up fighting a mole-like Ayakashi in episode 10 of the anime, Yoshimori at one point even trying in vain to smack it with his weapon as it repeatedly pops up out of multiple holes.
* [[What Measure Is a Non -Human?]]: Our heroes will let all kinds of supernatural critters live, as long as they don't come to power up and wreak havoc. As soon as they become a threat, however, they're killed without hesitation. [[Justified Trope|Justified]] by the fact that even if an Ayakashi has a good reason for wanting to gain power from Karasumori, [[The Dark Side Will Make You Forget|the power itself makes them more evil and out of control]].
* [[The Worm That Walks]]: Byaku.
* [[X Meets Y]]: ''[[Shaman King]]'' meets ''[[Bleach]]''.
Line 238:
** [[Obake]]: Living shapeshifters.
** [[Animate Inanimate Object|Tsukumogami]]: Possessed household objects.
** [[Red Oni, Blue Oni]]: Although they tend to become red Oni, thanks to Karasumori making spirits get drunk with power.
** [[Our Ghosts Are Different|Ghosts]]: The Patissier ghost arc.
** [[Kitsune]]: The entire Kokuboro arc.
** [[Have You Seen My God?|Gods]] and [[Our Demons Are Different|Demons]]: It's hard to draw the line, really.
