Line 11:
Formerly licensed in English by Tokyopop, currently slated for a re-release and continuation by Viz.
Is in no way related towards [[Super Robot Wars|Lamia]] [[
----
Line 30:
* [[Because Destiny Says So]]: The entire Name system, though it's frequently argued against and subverted in some cases.
* [[Bespectacled Bastard Boyfriend]]: Possibly Ritsu, but if he is, he has much more depth than the typical example.
* [[Big Screwed
* [[Blessed With Suck]]: While the Zeroes {{spoiler|can't feel pain}}, they can die just as easily as (if not more easily than) regular humans
* [[Blind Without
* [[Blood Knight]]: Natsuo and Youji start out this way, but they mellow out once they {{spoiler|start living with Soubi}}. Not that the signs of it are ''completely'' gone.
* [[Bodyguard Crush]]: Implied in some cases between the Fighters and their Sacrifices, often one-sided.
Line 40:
* [[Broken Bird]]: Soubi, a rare male version.
* [[Broken Pedestal]]: {{spoiler|Seimei, to Ritsuka.}}
* [[Brother
* [[Calling Your Attacks]]: Justified in the sense that the words ''are'' the spells themselves.
* [[Cassandra Truth]]: Inverted. The adults WILL believe you. [[Crapsack World|They just don't care]].
Line 96:
* [[Intimate Healing]]: Justified in that when Soubi kisses Ritsuka it strengthens the "bond" between them and makes the attacks stronger (and makes the [[Fan Girl|Fangirls]] [[Squee]]).
* [[Ironic Echo]]: When Soubi repeats [[Chekhov's Gun|the very words Ritsu once told him]] as a self-hypnosis to win in his fight against Natsuo and Youji.
* [[
* [[Jerkass]]: At times, Ritsu can count for one. Not that Nagisa's off the hook.
* [[Kick the Dog]]: When they first come into the story, Natsuo and Youji kill an innocent dog because they found it annoying. Although their [[Heel Face Turn]] does not excuse this behavior, they ''have'' become noticeably less violent since then; though there are still traces of their violence left. Then, there's also {{spoiler|Seimei and Nisei}}, with their own evil stunts.
Line 103:
* [[Lighter and Softer]]: The anime. Yuiko and Yayoi are seen MUCH more often to provide both comedy relief and a break from all the [[Mind Screw]], which was also less abundant.
** Episode 11 of the anime. ...Then comes [[Mind Screw|episode 12]]. Probably the worst case of [[Mind Screw]] in the entire anime.
* [[Love Martyr]]: Ritsuka is a male version of this towards {{spoiler|Seimei, though it's not of the [[Brother
** Starts to border on [[Too Dumb to Live]].
* [[Loving a Shadow]]: Kind of. {{spoiler|Ritsuka learns that Seimei is not at all the person that Ritsuka thought he was. While Seimei was caring (albeit a little distant) towards Ritsuka, he was, in reality, a cold, obsessive, and very violent man who was not above manipulating or murdering people who got in his way. When Ritsuka learns that even HE was manipulated by Seimei because of his twisted concept of [[Brother
** Possibly a case of {{spoiler|[[Stockholm Syndrome]]}}.
*** Either that or there's some type of laser-guided mind-ray telling him to ignore the obvious.
Line 112:
* [[Manipulative Bastard]]: Ritsu, Nisei, and also {{spoiler|Seimei, who despite all logic is still alive, even though they actually ''did'' [[Never Found the Body|find the body]] and even matched dental records. Who replaced him in that capacity is the subject of much fan debate and [[Epileptic Trees]].}}
** I'm sure {{spoiler|Semei}} will run into [[Chessmaster]] territory at some point.
* [[May
* [[Meaningful Name]]: Everyone has one. Though, many characters wouldn't say the same for the {{spoiler|Beloved}} pair.
* [[Meganekko]]: Lots of characters wear glasses, male and female alike, but Shinonome-sensei is the best fit for the trope.
Line 138:
* [[Princess Curls]]: Yurio. [[Viewer Gender Confusion|Dammit!]]
* [[Psychologist Teacher]]: Or rather, ''would be'' [[Psychologist Teacher]], as Ritsuka's good-hearted yet unfortunate teacher Hitomi never really manages to solve anything and has almost debilitating shyness when it comes to confronting problems.
* [[Psychopathic Manchild]]: Nisei. He takes delight in both stalking and torturing {{spoiler|Soubi and Ritsuka}}, but refers to Soubi as 'mad' and 'creepy', and refers to himself as a pacifist. He's [[What Is This Thing You Call Love?|a stranger to the concept of love]], but he also has no intention of ever finding out, even going so far as to call it sickening. Of course, the fans [[Draco in Leather Pants|will have none of this]].
* [[Rape As Backstory]]: Both {{spoiler|Mikado}} and {{spoiler|Soubi}}.
* [[Replacement Goldfish]]: {{spoiler|Youji}}, for Nagisa, since apparently {{spoiler|Youji was created from some of Nagisa's deceased sister's genes.}}
Line 166:
* [[What Do You Mean Its Not Symbolic]]: At one point Soubi gets a ''nail'' through his hand and is forced to pull it out. That and the fact that he's accused of being a masochist several times makes one wonder if this was intentional. No [[Crucified Hero Shot]] on him yet, though.
** Butterflies, anyone?
* [[What Were You Thinking?]]: Ritsuka gives Soubi this treatment after he finds him injured from battles he fought alone.
* [[Wise Beyond Their Years]]: Despite being only 12 years old, Ritsuka is noted for acting much older than he is.
* [[Yandere]]: {{spoiler|Seimei is a rare (rather extreme) male example towards his [[Brother
{{quote| {{spoiler|'''Seimei:''' You see, I just want to be loved by Ritsuka. But I'm so insecure. That's why I have to test his love. Is this normal?}}<br />
{{spoiler|'''Nisei:''' It's normal for you.}} }}
