=== This game provides examples of: ===

* [[Abuse Is Okay When Its Female On Male]]: In episode 2, the girls chase after a dog in the bath house naked. They then catch it when it runs into Yamato's room. After some initial embarassment and screaming, the next scene shows Yamato all bruised up as they continue chasing after the dog.

Line 37:

Line 36:

* [[Berserk Button]]: {{spoiler|Do NOT play around with Yamato's pet hermit crabs.}}

** And in the manga's case, {{spoiler|ruining Cap's breakfast is a very bad idea. And so is calling Cookie "annoying".}}

* [[Big Damn Heroes]]: Usually Momoyo thanks to her in-universe status as the [[~~Worlds~~ Strongest Man|World's Strongest Woman]], though occasionally invoked to lesser degrees by other members of the family, as well as {{spoiler|Hideo}} in the Ryuuzetsuran storyline.

* [[Big Damn Heroes]]: Usually Momoyo thanks to her in-universe status as the [[World's Strongest Man|World's Strongest Woman]], though occasionally invoked to lesser degrees by other members of the family, as well as {{spoiler|Hideo}} in the Ryuuzetsuran storyline.

* [[Bishounen]]: Cap and Touma have their own fan clubs at school.

* [[Black Comedy Rape]]: Due largely in part to Momoyo, plenty of [[Double Standard Rape Female On Male]] abounds. Except when [[Near Rape Experience|it's not treated lightly]]. Mid-way through her route Mayucchi has to throw Momoyo, addled by [[Blood Knight|battle lust]], ''out a window'' to get her off Yamato.

Line 51:

Line 50:

* [[Childhood Memory Demolition Team]]: The secret base is demolished at the conclusion of the Ryuuzetsuran route, with the Friday gatherings temporarily suspended, though the ryuuzetsuran itself is OK.

* [[Child Prodigy]]: Monshiro has skipped grades to enter Kawakami High. She also accepts challenges from, and bests, everybody in her class (1-S, so no pushovers) at everything from running a race to a cooking duel. The only thing she's no good at is fighting, for which she has her [[Battle Butler|overwhelmingly powerful bodyguard]] to cover for.

* [[Class Representative]]: 2-F's [[Token Mini Moe]] Mayo, who volunteered for the position when nobody else would come forward. Hideo serves the same role for 2-S.

* [[Class Representative]]: 2-F's [[Token Mini-Moe]] Mayo, who volunteered for the position when nobody else would come forward. Hideo serves the same role for 2-S.

* [[Clingy Jealous Girl]]: Momoyo is the biggest user of this trope, but all of the other girls begin portraying it as well later in the season, to the point where they're actively fighting each other or at least attempting to undermine their rivals. The ending of episode 12 just makes it worse with Yamato's confession.

* [[Cloudcuckoolander]]: Koyuki. [[Dark and Troubled Past|The reason why]] is expanded upon in the Ryuuzetsuran route.

Line 65:

Line 64:

* [[Doorstopper]]: 5 heroines, 3 sub-heroines, 3 friend ends, and 1 true end. The sequel adds after-stories for all five original heroines, as well as including 2 brand new heroines and 3 paths for characters who got the [[Promotion to Love Interest]].

* [[Down to The Last Play]]: The [[Baseball Episode|Kawakami Ball]] game, Yamato's duel with Chris, and more.

* [[Dude She's Like in A Coma]]: Having run out of ideas, Yamato's last desperate gamble to {{spoiler|keep Chris in Japan}} is this. She wakes up partway through, and they end up going all night long. Surprisingly, it works!

* [[Dude, She's Like, in A Coma]]: Having run out of ideas, Yamato's last desperate gamble to {{spoiler|keep Chris in Japan}} is this. She wakes up partway through, and they end up going all night long. Surprisingly, it works!

* [[Earn Your Happy Ending]]: In every route, but particularly the Ryuuzetsuran one, where even {{spoiler|[[Invincible Hero]] Momoyo}} comes close to biting it at one point.

* [[Eleventh Hour Ranger]]: {{spoiler|Gen-san}} in the Ryuuzetsuran path.

Line 80:

Line 79:

* [[First Girl Wins]]: Momoyo is the first girl to appear in-game and takes front and center in most of the game's group shots and associated media, and is as close as the game gets to a "main" heroine. In the game's timeline, though, Wanko is the first girl, and Yamato mentions her having taken many of his "firsts" (first Valentine's chocolate, first time seeing a girl "down there", first time sleeping together with a girl, etc).

** The fact that the anime begins in the middle of Momoyo's route proof that this rule is must for anime visual novel adaptation.

* [[First Name Basis]]: Like everybody else in the family, Yamato calls Kazuko "Wanko" and Yukie "Mayucchi", but in their respective paths he takes to calling them by their first name post-[[Relationship Upgrade]].

Line 94:

** and Episode 6

* [[Glowing Eyes of Doom]]: Momoyo whenever she's about to get serious. It helps that [[Red Eyes Take Warning|her eyes are red]].

* [[Goal in Life]]: A central plot point in Wanko's route. Seeing her working so hard for the sake of her goal inspires Yamato to revive his own childhood dream of becoming {{spoiler|a man capable of moving Japan itself, i.e. the Prime Minister}}. In the [[Where Are They Now Epilogue|epilogue ten years later]], he's shown to have worked his way up to becoming a {{spoiler|city council member.}}

* [[Gratuitous English]]: Miyako

Line 103:

** In the anime, Momoyo in episode 8 when {{spoiler|during her heated battle against a cyborg opponent, one of the missiles fired by the opponent and deflected by her ends up hitting Yamato and putting him in a coma. She even lets out a [[Skyward Scream]] after seeing him in the ICU}}.

* [[Heroic Sacrifice]]: A couple. {{spoiler|Gakuto}} for Chika, {{spoiler|Momoyo}} for Moro, etc

* [[Hey ~~Its~~ That Voice]]: One of the main draws of the [[Visual Novel]] (and the anime by extension), along with the [[Actor Allusion|Actor Allusions]]. Check out the trivia page for the entire list.

** [[All Star Cast]]

** [[All-Star Cast]]

* [[H Game]]: Not merely refering to the [[Visual Novel]] of this series, but in Episode 3 of the anime: {{spoiler|Miyako tries to use one - in fact it's even titled "Seriously Fall In Love With Miyako", hence features herself as the main character, or more specifically, the only winnable character (and what's more, it was apparently developed by Miyako herself) - to seduce Yamato. Unfortunately for her [[Not Distracted By the Sexy|he doesn't budge]]}}.

* [[Hidden Eyes]]: This game being [[H-game|what it is]], the [[Ecchi]] CGs all feature this, though this is not the case with the "regular" CGs.

Line 116:

Line 115:

* [[Implausible Fencing Powers]]: Chris, Mayucchi, and Wanko.

* [[Improbable Aiming Skills]]: Miyako and Yoichi (one of the new characters in the sequel), who are both members of the "Five Bows Under Heaven".

* [[In Series Nickname]]: Kazuko is called Wanko by just about everyone, and the producers often refer to her by the latter name instead. "Wan" is the Japanese onomatopoeia for the sound a dog makes, but the obvious [[Embarrassing Nickname]] conceals a [[Stealth Pun]] - the "Kazu" in "Kazuko" is written as the Japanese kanji for "one", hence "one-ko".

* [[I Was Quite a Looker]]: Reiko, the dorm manager and Gakuto's mom in a flashback.

* [[Kill Sat]]: {{spoiler|In Matsunaga Tsubame's route in the sequel S, she uses one to defeat Momoyo guided by her power suit. }}

Line 124:

Line 123:

* [[Leitmotif]]: Each of the heroines gets their own, of course, and Yamato has one himself as well. Various remixes of the two ending songs and the insert song are also used sparsely, and to good effect.

* [[Loads and Loads of Characters]]: Doesn't help that the very first episode throws practically all of them at you at once. It takes a couple of episodes before you really get to know them all.

* [[Loser Protagonist]]: Gakuto who, besides short stints with a serial sadist, fails to secure so much as a date for the duration of the game. In fact, in several of the [[Where Are They Now Epilogue|Where Are They Now Epilogues]], Gakuto is ''still'' getting turned down on a regular basis.

* [[Love Triangle]]: In all of the paths other than her own the only competition is Miyako, limiting the game as a whole to [[Love Triangle|Love Triangles]] at best. The sole exception might be {{spoiler|the Ryuuzetsuran path, which is as close to a "harem" ending as the game gets, though it's hard to count Angel or Momoyo}}, making it - surprise surprise - a [[Love Triangle]] involving Miyako. [[Oh No Not Again|Again]].

** A short one during the end of Momoyo's route between Yamato, Capt, and Momoyo. Unfortunately for Capt, he grew up way too late to be of any real threat to Yamato.

** A silent one between Yamato, Miyako, and Moro. Due to his personality, and the fact that he knows its hopeless, Moro pretty much stays quiet about it.

** [[Love Dodecahedron]]: On the other hand, the anime eventually escalates things to this, particularly in episode 10 when {{spoiler|Yamato gets knocked out during a fight with one of the cyborgs, and all the girls [[Anguished Declaration of Love|tearfully admit their feelings]] for him. Momoyo wouldn't have it though, and shoves the other girls aside, declaring Yamato to be hers alone.}}

* [[Male Gaze]]: Yamato isn't called the [[In Series Nickname|"Ero Strategist"]] for nothing.

* [[Male Gaze]]: Yamato isn't called the [[In-Series Nickname|"Ero Strategist"]] for nothing.

** However he pales in comparision to Ikorou

* [[Marshmallow Hell]]: Momoyo sometimes subjects Yamato to this.

Line 144:

Line 143:

* [[Non Lethal Warfare]]: Kamikami War, the most extreme of actions two feuding classes can take. Weapons are non lethal, no broken bones, no punctures, no holes!

* [[Oddly Visible Eyebrows]]

* [[Older Than They Look]]: [[Token Mini Moe]] Mayo, 2-F's [[Class Representative]]. Joined by Monshiro Kuki, Hideo's younger sister, in the sequel.

* [[Older Than They Look]]: [[Token Mini-Moe]] Mayo, 2-F's [[Class Representative]]. Joined by Monshiro Kuki, Hideo's younger sister, in the sequel.

* [[One Man Army]]

* [[One-Man Army]]

* [[One Steve Limit]]: Very much in effect, even with the sequel's 70+ character count.

* [[Opposite Sex Clone]]: [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minamoto_no_Yoshitsune Yoshitsune] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benkei Benkei], as per their namesakes, are the female clones of the famous historical figures. Seiso is likely this as well, though it's not yet revealed who she's a clone of.

* [[Overshadowed By Awesome]]: Pretty much all the male leads. Gakuto in particular is shown to be able to hold off 70 people attacking him at once with a broken leg, but is hopelessly outclassed against almost all the characters.

* [[Paper Thin Disguise]]: [[Mobile Suit Gundam 00|Ms. Kishido]]. The only different thing she's wearing is the mask. This might have worked had she not been [[Phenotype Stereotype|a blonde-haired, blue-eyed foreigner in Japan]].

* [[Parental Abandonment]]: Yamato's parents moved overseas because his father lost hope in Japan. Cap's dad is an adventurer who doesn't mind his son doing the same. {{spoiler|Wanko}} is [[Conveniently an Orphan]], {{spoiler|Miyako}} has a [[Missing Mom|not-particularly-missed Mom]]. Mayucchi's parents live in another province, and she stays at [[Boarding School|the dormitory]].

* [[Piggyback Cute]]: {{spoiler|Momoyo}} does this for {{spoiler|Yamato}} at the end of episode 5.

Line 185:

Line 184:

* [[Student Council President]]: Though there is an official one, they don't seem to do much. {{spoiler|In the Ryuuzetsuran path Hideo usurps this role, though not without good reason.}}

* [[Taking You With Me]]: Cookie, the robot, gets ensnared in several ropes against class S in episode 1. As a last ditch move, he releases his remaining energy to shock the students holding the ropes, then shuts down.

* [[Theme Music Power Up]]: The game version shows several example of this trope example of this including

* [[Theme Music Power-Up]]: The game version shows several example of this trope example of this including

** Men are about courage, bgm that was played each time Yamato or any other male character get their [[Moment of Awesome]].

** Sword Dance, bgm that was played each time Mayucchi get serious in her battle.

Line 193:

Line 192:

* [[Three Laws Compliant]]: Invoked in Episode 3 of the anime, where Miyako orders Cookie to taze Yamato into submission, while Yamato orders the robot to get Miyako off him. Cookie considers this dilemma out loud, where he has to obey a human command, yet isn't allowed to seriously hurt a human, yet also cannot allow a human to come to harm through his inaction.

* [[Through His Stomach]]: Mayucchi usually makes, or offers to make food on the days when the [[Team Mom|dorm mother]] is off. In her route, she does this all the time for Yamato.

** Miyako also attempts this on a regular basis, but unfortunately for her, her [[Blazing Inferno Hellfire Sauce|usual choice of fare]] is not exactly [[Fire Breathing Diner|popular with Yamato]].

** Miyako also attempts this on a regular basis, but unfortunately for her, her [[Blazing Inferno Hellfire Sauce|usual choice of fare]] is not exactly [[Fire-Breathing Diner|popular with Yamato]].

* [[Title Drop]]: Done [[Hilarity Ensues|hilariously]] at the end of the series by {{spoiler|all the girls, when Yamato tells them that his most important ones are... his hermit crabs}}.

* [[Tin Can Robot]] Cookie in his first form

* [[Tournament Arc]]: Yes, they go there in S, in Tsubame's route. Paired team battle, where the 1st fighter to lose, loses for the whole team. The prize? A chance to fight Momoyo, who isn't participating, because that'd be unfair. But Yamato is!

* [[Tragic Dream]]: {{spoiler|Wanko}}, in her path, when she finds out that she {{spoiler|[[Overshadowed By Awesome|lacks the talent]] to become an assistant instructor of the Kawakami style}}. Despite having {{spoiler|maintained a grueling daily training schedule for the last 10 years}}, [[Hard Work Hardly Works]] is invoked, and {{spoiler|[[Nice Job Breaking It Hero|untimely interference from Chris]]}} leads to this trope. Fortunately, it leads to [[Character Development]] and not one but ''three'' [[Love Confession|Love Confessions]], so [[Earn Your Happy Ending|it gets better]].

Fortunately, it leads to [[Character Development]] and not one but ''three'' [[Love Confession|Love Confessions]], so [[Earn Your Happy Ending|it gets better]].

* [[Tsundere]]: Gen-san, as [[Lampshade Hanging|Lampshaded]] by others in the family. He manages to invoke [[I Was Just Passing Through]] pretty much every time he "happens" to lend a hand. The only girl on the heroine side who comes even remotely close is Chris, and even she starts dere-ing it up rather quickly. This may, however, change in the sequel, with the advent of Kokoro's storyline.

* [[Unprovoked Pervert Payback]]: In episode 2, the girls all come running out of the bath, ''bare ass naked'' after a dog they were hired to catch, and all come crashing into Yamato's room. They proceed to beat Yamato up, because of that.

Line 205:

Line 204:

* [[Watching the Sunset]]: Miyako, from her [[Sitting On the Roof|favorite spot on the roof]] of the secret base.

* [[Weapon of Choice]]: Given that this is a game about [[Action Girl|martial artist girls]] attending a [[School of Hard Knocks]]...

** Momoyo, the most overwhelmingly powerful character in the game, uses [[Bare Fisted Monk|her fists]];

** Momoyo, the most overwhelmingly powerful character in the game, uses [[Bare-Fisted Monk|her fists]];

** Wanko, a speed-type fighter, uses [[Blade On a Stick|a naginata]];

** Miyako, well-known for her [[Nerves of Steel|nigh-unbreakable concentration]], is [[The Archer]];

Line 211:

Line 210:

** Chris, the German [[Ojou]], fights with [[Royal Rapier|a rapier]];

** ... and many others. Azumi, resident [[Ninja Maid]], makes use of a pair of tanto and countless throwing weapons; Kokoro, the local [[Ojou]], is a national-level [[I Know Karate|judo practitioner]] who also happens to carry around a pair of steel fans, so on and so forth.

* [[What Do You Mean ~~Its~~ Not Awesome]]: So very many things, given the comedic nature of the game - the entire Kuki organization is made of this trope, for one. The fact that Momoyo can fire a [[Kamehame Hadoken|laser beam ki blast]] that's [[Supernatural Martial Arts|visible from outer space]] - aptly named the Kawakami-style Star Destroyer, for another. The list goes on.

* [[What Do You Mean It's Not Awesome?]]: So very many things, given the comedic nature of the game - the entire Kuki organization is made of this trope, for one.

The list goes on.

* [[Where Are They Now Epilogue]]: The six main endings each get you one, though the contents don't really vary from one to another.

* [[Where Are They Now? Epilogue]]: The six main endings each get you one, though the contents don't really vary from one to another.

* [[Whip It Good]]: Class 2F's homeroom teacher, Umeko, carries a whip, and can use it without hesitation for disciplinary purposes.

* [[Wholesome Crossdresser]]: More than once, Moro has had to suffer the indignity of [[Attractive Bent Gender|crossdressing]] for some greater cause. Some members of the family would rather him do it more often.

* [[Wise Beyond Their Years]]: Monshiro, who has skipped grades, acts extremely mature and is considerate of others' feelings - arguably moreso than her brother Hideo, who seems to lack an "off" switch.

* [[Worf Effect]]: In Koyuki's arc in S, which is basically S's equivalent to the Ryuuzetsran arc in the original game, they [[The Reveal|reveal]] {{spoiler|Seiso}} as the [[The Dragon|dragon]] to {{spoiler|[[Man Behind the Man|Ms Marple]] for the true Project S.}} To show just how utterly [[Badass|bad ass]] she is, they have her take out {{spoiler|Tesshin}}, though not without cost!

* [[~~Worlds~~ Strongest Man|World's Strongest Woman]]: They're only high school students, but...

* [[World's Strongest Man|World's Strongest Woman]]: They're only high school students, but...

** Momoyo is considered a "god of martial arts" and is pretty much ''the'' strongest person in the world by the beginning of the game;

** Mayucchi's father told the [[Our Presidents Are Different|Prime Minister of Japan]] that his daughter had already surpassed him in skill. Mayucchi's father, who just happens to be the current [[Names to Run Away From Really Fast|Sword Saint]], a.k.a. the strongest swordsman in the world;
