Nagasarete Airantou: Difference between revisions

* [[Art Shift]]: During Michiru and Tohno's confrontation, they emanate a [[Battle Aura]] that shows them how they should look like outside of Airantou.

* [[Aside Glance]]: Among many other examples:

* [[Asskicking Equals Authority]]: The Four Leaders.

** [[Klingon Promotion]]

** [[Badass Abnormal]]: {{spoiler|Ikuto has the power to punch ghosts bare handed.}}

* [[Badass Adorable]]: Most of them count.

* [[Badass Bookworm]]: Chikage.

* [[Bad Luck Charm]]: The Muramasa Broom.

* [[Bag of Holding]]: In the manga, this was [[Lampshade Hanging|lampshaded]] a bit.

* [[Balloon Belly]]: Suzu in episode 2.

* [[Batman Gambit]]: The Scavenger Hunt [[Story Arc]] doesn't count on its own at first; it took the aftermath chapter to show it to be one. {{spoiler|Obaba made sure that all the girls will be exhausted in the competition so that the winner and the "prize" (Ikuto and whoever-he-picks/whoever-picks-him) would not be disturbed at the hotsprings.}}

* [[Battle Aura]]: Apparently, all the Leaders are supposed to possess this.

* [[Covert Pervert]]: Mei Mei plays this trope as straight as possible, with her erotic book reading and what she thinks will happen anytime a girl is alone with Ikuto.

{{quote| '''Mei Mei''': No one under 18 allowed to see!}}

* [[Create Your Own Villain]]: Machi was responsible for the release of her own ''nemesis'', Genjumaro.

** How Beniyasha came to be.

** And Hikaru Genji

* [[Does This Remind You of Anything?]]: When Beniyasha targeted her, Mei Mei became...''stimulated.'' The offending liquid was sprayed all over her face. Yeah.

* [[Does Not Like Spam|Does Not Like Spicy Foods]]: Suzu.

** Also Machi.

* [[Expy]]: Rin looks an awful lot like [[Mahou Sensei Negima|Nagase Kaede]]...[[Ryoko Shiraishi|so it should be no surprise who voices her in the anime.]]

** Also see [[Identical Stranger]]/[[Contrived Coincidence]] below.

* [[Fan Service]]: With one exception, no female has any inhibitions about [[Furo Scene|bathing]] with the male lead; Suzu in particular is upset throughout the series because Ikuto won't let her come in with him. And that's just the most common way to give Ikuto something to [[Nosebleed]] over.

* [[Fastball Special]]: Used at least twice.

* [[Lady Land]]: The island, obviously.

* [[Lap Pillow]]: Ikuto is the pillow for Machi while she is sick, and Suzu because she asked him which causes a three way brawl for his lap...

** The manga has since [[Retcon|retconned]] her into the very beginning of the story: she is now seen helping treat Ikuto when he first shows up on the island. Her late appearance is explained away as a consequence of being the daughter of a snow woman, a spirit associated with winter. She is immune to cold but sensitive to heat, and thus rarely went outdoors to avoid the sun.

* [[Last of His Kind|Last of Her Kind]]: This is what Tohno believes when she thinks there's no more Kappa on the island. As it turns out, she's not and Ayane and Tohno didn't seem to ask Chizuru of all people due to her hilariously horrific artwork.

* [[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero]]: Everyone widely (and correctly) assumes that {{spoiler|it was Chikage's own fault why Suzu hates studying...}}

* [[Nightmare Fetishist]]: Machi. Oh '''''GOD''''', Machi.

* [[No Sense of Direction]]: Shinobu could give [[Ranma One Half|Ryoga]] and [[One Piece|Zoro]] a run for their money, if they could find it, that is.

* [[No Social Skills]]: Since men have long since vanished from the island, most of the current generation of girls have lost much of modern society's norms on ethical behavor towards men in public, hence their constant bombardment of [[Fetish Fuel]] towards Ikuto (see above) and they think there's nothing wrong with that.

** [[Berserk Button|Just don't say she's old.]]

* [[One-Scene Wonder]]: One picture shows Kokoro and Hanzou getting married...''upside down''.

* [[Our Ghosts Are Different]]: Oh, yeah.

** They can be touched, normally speak only in "Bake"s (Japanese word for ghost), can fly, and can possess people, for that extra bit of [[Paranoia Fuel]].

** Even [[Lampshade Hanging|lampshaded]].

** {{spoiler|[[All Your Powers Combined|Devil Sky Dragon Muramasa]] can count as well.}}

* [[Overtook the Manga]]: The anime covers a small chunk of the manga.

* [[Panty Shot]]: Much to the threat of Ikuto's health, ''everywhere''. Of the main cast, the only people who don't get frequent [[Panty Shot|Panty Shots]] might be Machi and Ayane as they wear traditional ''hakama''.

* [[Retired Badass]]: [[Subverted Trope|Subverted]]; even though {{spoiler|he's finally settled in with a family}}, the West Leader is still the protector of his area, and still enforces the law. Although, Taka-Taka did point out that he doesn't take things more seriously anymore.

** Sumeragi the shaved-ice penguin. [[Tempting Fate|Ikuto shouldn't have challenged him]] even though he was already informed beforehand {{spoiler|that Sumeragi used to be one of ''Karaage's [[The Rival|rivals]]!''}}

* [[The Runaway]]: Ikuto's a Type 2.

* [[Running Gag]]: There are many, but '''one issue alone''' saw two running gags involving Taka-Taka's nephew Piyomaru: the chick's obsession with biting ''anything'' that sparks its interest, and people mistaking that he's Taka-Taka's ''illegitimate child''.

** {{spoiler|The father of each haremette}} ships her with Ikuto. Ikuto's mother ships {{spoiler|her adopted daughter Misaki}} with Ikuto.

* [[Shorttank]]

** That, and Karaage's tendency to point his <s>finger</s> feather to the sky...yeah.

** Machi keeps a painting of a [[Stringy Haired Ghost Girl]] [[The Ring|stepping out of a well.]]

* [[Took a Level In Badass]]: After some training, Ikuto can now go toe to toe against the Leaders. [[My Friends and Zoidberg|Oh, and the Panda, too.]] Sure, when he last fought them the battles were non-"traditional", but still...

* [[Too Dumb to Live]]: For their mother's birthday, Shinobu, Mikoto and Kunai decide to give her a grandchild as a present. Which is the person they each chose to "do it" with them? [[Celibate Hero|Ikuto]], [[Even the Girls Want Her|Rin]], and '''[[Everything's Better With Penguins|Totega]]''', respectively. At least Shinobu's choice was biologically possible, but there was no way she could pop out a kid by the next day, let alone the fact that she does not know what sex is]], or at least that that's how one makes a baby.

*** This may be [[Justified Trope|justified]] because there were no men on the island up till now so teaching your girls about the birds and bees may have seemed a waste of time. You would think that they would have got a crash course though once Ikuto showed up.

* [[Tough Love]]: Machi really ''does'' care for her little sister Ayane. She just has a...weird way of showing it. She even [[Lampshade Hanging|said so herself]]. While there's good reason to doubt this statement, Machi actually provides a visual example {{spoiler|by giving Ikuto himself an example of her "love".}} [[Fridge Brilliance]], folks.
