Line 62:
* [[Blasting It Out of Their Hands]]: Natsuki on a few Searrs troops.
* [[Bloodless Carnage]]: ...except for the [[Eye Scream]] incident below.
* [[Bloodstained -Glass Windows]]: {{spoiler|Shizuru and Natsuki fight in one of these in Episode 25}}.
* [[Blow You Away]]: Midori.
* [[Brainwashed and Crazy]]: {{spoiler|Mikoto}}, in the last few episodes.
Line 84:
* [[Conveniently Timed Guard]]: Subverted: Mai surrenders immediately.
* [[Cooking Duel]]: An entire ''[[Iron Chef]]''-style episode.
* [[CPR: Clean, Pretty, Reliable]]: Mai, in the first episode.
* [[Crash Into Hello]]
* [[Cross-Popping Veins]]: Several characters, but Haruka's are the most pronounced.
Line 136:
** Phileo: Yukino->Haruka
** Eros: Mai and Shiho->Yuuichi, Yukariko->Ishigami, Shizuru->Natsuki (and possibly visa versa), Akane->Kazuya
* [[Freak -Out]]: This happens a lot.
* [[Fun With Acronyms]]: "HiME" stands for '''Hi'''ghly-advanced '''M'''aterializing '''E'''quipment.
** Let us not forget {{spoiler|Miyu Greer: '''M'''ultiple '''I'''ntelligencial '''[[Norse Mythology|Y]]'''[[Norse Mythology|ggdrasil]] '''U'''nit}}.
Line 215:
* [[Miniature Senior Citizens]]: Shiho's grandfather.
* [[Mistaken for Murderer]]: Yukariko is found standing over an injured Aoi with her Element in hand, and gets interrogated by the student council.
* [[Moe Moe]]: On the first episode's [["On the Next..."|next episode teaser]], Mai asked "Isn't this supposed to be a school kid's story and have lots of moe in it?" There is [[Kill It With Fire|moe]], but not always the kind she's looking for. {{spoiler|[[Don't Explain the Joke|This is a pun on "moe" being a homonym for "fire" in Japanese.]]}}
* [[Mons]]: The CHILD of each HiME.
* [[Mood Whiplash]]: Invoked deliberately in Episode 16, which was written so as to lull the audience into a sense of security before dropping a plot bombshell on them. Also arguably the big reason why {{spoiler|a lot of people had issues with the [[Happy Ending|ending]]}}.
Line 229:
* [[Mysterious Informant]]: Natsuki keeps meeting him for exposition purposes.
* [[NGO Superpower]]: Searrs.
* [[Name's the Same]]: The show has nothing to do with the [http://en.[wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Dancing_Girl:The Dancing Girl|1890 story]] by Mori Ogai, which is notable for being a role-reversal of ''Madame Butterfly'', published eight years ''before'' the latter was written.
* [[Names to Know In Anime]]: Kikuko Inoue (''[[Ah! My Goddess (Manga)|Ah My Goddess]]'') provides the voice of Sister Yukariko.
* [[Naughty Tentacles]]: Played light, not serious, in episode 4.
Line 299:
* [[Stealth Hi Bye]]: Multiple characters do this from time to time. It always shocks the person when they show up.
* [[Stock Footage]]: Various CHILD sequences early in the series.
* [[Stop Helping Me!]]: Mai chides Mikoto a few times when the former tries to save her in episode 19 a couple of times.
* [[Straight Man and Wise Guy|| StraightWomanAndWiseGal]]: Haruka and Yukino, respectively.
* [[Stripperiffic]]: Mild example: Midori usually wears a tight-fitting tube top that reveals cleavage and quite a bit of midriff. Even while ''teaching in class''.
** And then there's some of the outfits from the Karaoke episode, including Nao's Showgirl outfit and Mai's decidedly non-regulation police outfit.
* [[Student Council President]]: Shizuru.
* [[Suicidal Gotcha]]: Mai pulls one to punctuate a very emphatic, angry [[ItsIt's Not You, ItsIt's Me]]. {{spoiler|She's got her own dragon, though, so she'll be okay}}.
* [[Superpower Lottery]]: Mai's elements allow her to shield herself, fly, and hurl flame. Natsuki's are well, just pistols. Her Child is also one of the strongest of the lot, capable of sub-orbital flight, massive bombardment and is simply fricking huge compared to most of the other Childs.
** This may be justified, however, since the Childs are powered by the love that the [[Hi ME]] feels for most important person. Natsuki, at least initally, denies that she even has someone she cares about that much. When she finally admits how she feels about Shizuru, Duran becomes enormous as any of the other Childs for their final confrontation.
Line 320:
* [[Token Yuri Girls]]:
** Shizuru and her obsessive love for one of the main characters, Natsuki. Fandom has rewarded this with a series of doujinshi, the tamest of which explore Shizuru's more publishable fantasies. The more extreme, well... let's just say that Shizuru is a very ''imaginative'' individual. One of the [[All There in the Manual|artbooks]] states that they "find happiness" at Natsuki's graduation. Shizuru's popularity in this series [[Sure Why Not|likely led to]] her ''[[Mai-Otome]]'' incarnation [[Official Couple|actually hooking up]] with that universe's Natsuki.
** Speaking of ''[[Mai-Otome]]'', there appear to be quite a few of them there, too, since most of the story takes place in the all-girls' Garderobe Academy. Chie, in particular, appears to have out-Chizuru'd ''[[Bleach (Manga)|Bleach]]'''s Chizuru in the "openly flirty" department. Furthermore, the [[Schizo -Tech]] that gives the girls their super powers is destroyed by sperm, and neither condoms nor vasectomies exist.
* [[Too Dumb to Live]]: {{spoiler|Father Joseph. He sneaks up on a now-powerless toddler and her incredibly powerful and loyal robotic bodyguard (that he built but knew he could no longer control). He kills the former first, and then starts bragging about it to the latter's face. That ends pretty much as you'd expect.}}
** Arguably {{spoiler|Haruka refusing to run away and continuing to taunt Shizuru despite Yukino's insisting while Shizuru points her Element at her}}.
Line 343:
* [[We Can Rule Together]]: The last episode. In an inverted parallel of ''[[Star Wars]]'', {{spoiler|1=the [[Big Bad]] offers Mai the place of [[The Dragon]], Mikoto, who undergoes a [[Heel Face Turn]] because Mai is her parent/big sister figure, instead of the other way around. Mai says "no", twice, and then destroys the HiME Star with a little help from her friends}}.
* [[Weird Moon]]: Besides appearing enormous, notice that the moon is somehow always full throughout the series.
* [[Wham! Episode]]: Episodes 8 and 16.
* [[What Is This Thing You Call Love?]]: Mikoto struggles with this a great deal.
* [[What Kind of Lame Power Is Heart, Anyway?]]: Poor Yukino is pretty much relegated to a supporting role.
** Although it is arguable whether Yukino qualifies for this trope, as her role is effectively to provide intelligence and communication for the other, combat-oriented HiMEs. A very valuable role in real life.
* [[Wholesome Crossdresser]]: Akira.
