Our Mermaids Are Different: Difference between revisions

Line 65:

* ''[[Level E]]'' has mermaids with the rather unusual power to [[Living Lie Detector|detect any attempt to lie to them]]... by their tongue involuntarily shooting out and stabbing the liar to death. {{spoiler|Unfortunately, it doesn't stop them from being sold into sex slavery and pretty much wiped out, because a loophole is found to evade the ability, but the mermaids don't realize it.}}

* Isma from ''[[Berserk]]'' is introduced as a lonely, [[Genki Girl|genki]] fisher-girl whose lack of nudity taboo borders on [[Innocent Fanservice Girl]] category. Unlike the typical mermaid, Isma appears unaware of the fact that she isn't human and claims that she isn't even sure that mermaids exist, though readers catch on fairly quickly to the ''subtle'' hint that [http://manga.animea.net/berserk-chapter-312-page21.html something else is going on in the ominous style true to this series]. {{spoiler|Later, it turns out that she didn't lie about being unaware of what she is. What's more, her cheerful and kind self really was her true personality, which is quite a surprise [[Dark Fantasy|considering]] [[It Got Worse|the]] [[Crapsack World|setting]].}}

* ''[[Hekikai no AiON]]'': The mermaids need to sate themselves with psique, which is only obtained by killing people with tsunamis or earthquakes. [[In-Universe]], they're responsible for the sinking of Atlantis, Mu and the destruction of Pompeii, and they are the primal prey of the protagonist. Also, apparently, one of the mermaids can use "~~the~~ Splash Method" to walk on land, having a fish tail in the water.

* The titular 'mermaids' of ''[[Kaizoku to Ningyou]]'', which are actually a race of ~~demihumans~~ whose hair appears white on land and only reverts to its true color when doused with seawater. They are extraordinarily rare [[In-Universe]] and are frequently targetted for human trafficking on the black market. However, aside from their hair, there is very little separating them from humanity. Not to mention, the only member of this rare subspecies we've met so far is ''male''.
