Line 20:
** Also, Ziglo, {{spoiler|Ivy's first victim at M.L.S.}}
* [[Attack of the Fifty Foot Whatever]]: Isabi can change his size to ''five meters tall''.
* [[Attack Pattern Alpha]]: Goryo's [[One Hundred and Eight108|Maneuver 108]].
* [[The Bechdel Test]]: Passes from the first chapter, which concerns a girl's efforts to reconcile with the spirit of her dead female friend.
* [[BFS]]: Mick's sword. It can change length and even bend while attacking.
Line 28:
* [[Book Dumb]]: Yoichi and Biko had terrible grades at school, despite their skills in other areas of magical law.
* [[Brainwashed and Crazy]] / [[More Than Mind Control]] : Despite everything that's happened, Page hopes that this is really what happened to Enchu (that or replaced by a puppet), but it is not the case.
* [[Break the Haughty]]: Goryo. And ''[[Cold -Blooded Torture|how]]''.
* [[Brilliant but Lazy]]: Muhyo. {{spoiler|When asked what would be the first thing he'd do as an Executor, he responds that he'd "quit and give the job to Enchu."}}
* [[Broken Pedestal]]: {{spoiler|Rio, for Biko.}}
Line 39:
* [[Creepy Twins]]: Lili and Maril.
* [[Crossover]]: One of the omakes has characters from ''[[Majin Tantei Nougami Neuro]]'' (a fellow Jump series) visiting Muhyo and Roji at their office.
* [[Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass]]: Roji, and Umekichi, to an extent.
* [[Dangerous Forbidden Technique]]: Several magical techniques shorten the users' lives or result in them being injured.
* [[Deal With the Devil]]: Forbidden magic law.
Line 53:
** Yoichi is introduced performing a [[Skinship Grope]] on Nana.
** Tomas talking about killing an MLS agent and contemptuously describes his letter to his wife.
* [[EverythingsEverything's Better With Spinning]]: Umekichi rolls down a spiral staircase, spinning all the way to increase his speed by a factor of several hundred, {{spoiler|killing Mick when he hits him with his Dragon Wheel}}
* [[Evil All Along]]: {{spoiler|Rio.}}
* [[Eviler Than Thou]]: [[Complete Monster|Tomas]] compared to [[Smug Snake|Goryo]].
Line 61:
** There's also some involving Imai--there's a part towards the end of the series where she literally shoves her hand up Busujima's shirt.
* [[Fictionary]]: Underspeak, the language spoken by the residents of Hades. All Executors are required to know this in order to communicate with their envoys, although every speaker has a distinct accent (ie. Muhyo's Underspeak consists of a lot of ro's while Page's Underspeak contains quite a few more j sounds).
* [[Five -Bad Band]]
** [[Big Bad]]: Enchu and Teeki
** [[The Dragon]]: {{spoiler|Rio}}
Line 87:
* [[Huge Schoolgirl|Huge Schoolboy]]: Yuki Otada, {{spoiler|who is [[Driven to Suicide]] and comes back as a haunt as a result of his classmates cruelly falsely apologizing to him and giving him fake addresses}}.
* [[Idiosyncratic Episode Naming]]: "Article" instead of "Chapter," which is a reference to the many articles of magic law.
* [["I Know You're in There Somewhere" Fight]]: {{spoiler|Ebisu}} tries this on {{spoiler|Goryo}} in Article 62. {{spoiler|It doesn't work}}
* [[Immortality Immorality]]: Ark's goal is to achieve immortality.
* [[Improbable Age]] Muhyo and Biko.
Line 100:
* [[Kids Are Cruel]]: {{spoiler|Yuki Otada commits suicide after being bullied for his size}}.
* [[Kuudere]]: Goryo to a T, at least pre-8.
* [[Laser -Guided Karma]]: {{spoiler|Goryo, after he attempts to take down Ark one too many times.}}
* [[Last -Name Basis]] More than half the cast.
* [[Loads and Loads of Characters]]: Quite a few characters are in the cast, and typically, each volume except for the last has at least one or two new characters who get character profiles.
* [[Lotus Eater Machine]]: Muhyo does this to {{spoiler|Yuki Otada, both as a way of tricking him into releasing the people he's kidnapped and making his descent into Hell easier}}.
Line 118:
* [[Not So Harmless]]: Julio is typically quite lazy and notes that Teeki never had to work on him as a result, but once his curse activates, the heroes are unable to move, and thus in dire straits.
* [[Odd Friendship]]: Imai and Busujima.
* [[One Hundred and Eight108]]: Goryo's maneuver of the same name.
* [[One -Winged Angel]]: Some of the Ark members and Isabi.
* [[Only Known By Their Nickname]]: Roji, aka Jiro Kusano.
** Also, Yuu Abiko, more commonly known as Biko.
Line 130:
** More like [[Kill It With Fire]]
* [[Reasonable Authority Figure]]: Chief Inquisitor Page.
* [["The Reason You Suck" Speech]]: Muhyo frequently gives these. Page gives a brief one to Enchu after he coldly reacts to seeing an unconscious Yoichi, and tells him that Yoichi has been putting all his effort into investigating him and bringing him back despite his evil deeds.
* [[Redemption Equals Death]]: {{spoiler|Panza}}
* [[Retirony]]: {{spoiler|Two guards who are engaged and planning to move away from the Arcanum get killed by Face-Ripper Sophie, who assumes the female guard’s identity}}.
Line 140:
* [[She Is Not My Girlfriend|He is Not My Boyfriend]]: Imai gets angry and chases Busujima down when she refers to Roji as her boyfriend.
* [[Shout Out]]: Roji's first visit to MLS is a lot like [[Harry Potter|Harry's]] first visit to Diagon Alley.
* [[Shut UP, Hannibal]]: {{spoiler|Roji declares that he refuses to believe that people's fates cannot be changed, and that Enchu merely couldn't deal with his grief, and dispels the curse technique, allowing the heroes to move again}}.
* [[Smug Snake]]: Goryo, to the core.
* [[Spell Book]]: The magic law books owned by Executors. They also come packaged with a convenient [[Self -Destruct Mechanism]].
* [[Stalker With a Crush]]: Averted in the pilot chapter, where a ghost of a boy had been said to be "stalking" a girl in life, but he merely wants to be friends with her. Played straight with Panza, for {{spoiler|Roji}}.
* [[Standard Evil Organization Squad]]: Ark.
Line 168:
* [[Whole Episode Flashback]]: How Muhyo and Roji first met.
* [[Wizarding School]]: The Magic Law School, more commonly referred to as MLS.
* [[Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds]]: Vector, a cursed half-ghast child whose curse activates if he fulfills basic needs like food or companionship, and who, merely by sitting still, sets up spirit roots that drain many people's souls.
* [[You Can't Fight Fate]]: Teeki makes a [[Hannibal Lecture]] to this effect when his victory seems certain, noting that Enchu is a prime example.
* [[You Gotta Have Blue Hair]]: Enchu.
