Line 16:
* [[Bittersweet Ending]]: {{spoiler|All of the Six Stars save Yasha die, but at least he gets to be with Ashura}}.
* [[Bodyguard Crush]]: Sohma to Kendappa, reciprocated.
* [[Brother -Sister Incest]]: With {{spoiler|Kujaku}} as the product.
* [[Calling Your Attacks]]
* [[Chekhov's Gunman]]: Kujaku, who shows up out of nowhere near the beginning and becomes ''very'' important later on.
Line 26:
* [[Doomed Hometown]]: The Yasha tribe's village
* [[Does Not Like Shoes]] / [[Foot Focus]]: Absolutely ''EVERYONE'' is barefoot in this series. No matter when or where.
* [[Enemy Within]]: {{spoiler|The "true Ashura,"}} though it acts as more of a [[Super -Powered Evil Side]] in the [[OVA]] and the earlier parts of the manga.
* [[Eyes of Gold]]: Ashura, as a distinguishing trait of his people, along with [[Unusual Ears]]. Kujaku has purple eyes, which the other characters take to be a trait of demonic heritage.
* [[Evil Matriarch]]: Shashi, who's probably the closest thing to a total bitch that CLAMP's ever written.
Line 41:
* [[I'm a Humanitarian]]
* [[Is That Cute Kid Yours]]: No, Yasha isn't Ashura's father, but that seems to be the automatic assumption on meeting the two of them.
* [[ItsIt's All My Fault]]
* [[Keet]]: Ryu is a a softer version of this. Since the series is dark though however, his happy personality stands out.
* [[Kill 'Em All]]: The number of characters who survive until the end? {{spoiler|Two, and only thanks to some major meddling from Kujaku}}
* [[Kill the Cutie]]: {{spoiler|Ryu is the first one to die of the six stars.}}
* [[Lady of War]]: Karura, and {{spoiler|Kendappa after revealing her Mole status.}}
Line 73:
* [[Spikes of Villainy]]: a good example of these three tropes is the armor {{spoiler|Lady Kendappa wears when she's revealed as the fourth General}}.
* [[Schoolgirl Lesbians]]: Kendappa and Souma, while not actually schoolgirls, otherwise fit this trope.
* [[Self -Fulfilling Prophecy]]: {{spoiler|Ashura-ou gets Taishakuten to take over Tenkai in order to prevent the fulfillment of the prophecy, but it is Taishakuten's tyrannical rule which gives Yasha the motivation to rebel and try to fulfill the second version of the prophecy.}}
* [[Silk Hiding Steel]]: Kendappa is a beautiful, graceful noble lady {{spoiler|who is also one of the Four Generals.}}
* [[Social Darwinist]]: {{spoiler|Kendappa's belief in the superiority and inevitable triumph of strength so defines her that she sides with a man she considers a monster against her friends and her beloved, merely because he is the strongest.}}
Line 80:
* [[Shoot the Dog]]: {{spoiler|Taishakuten took over Heaven to keep his promise to Ashura-ou and prevent Ashura from awakening.}}
* [[The Stoic]]: Yasha and Karura.
* [[Too Long; Didn't Dub]]: In the English dub of the OVA, Ashura is referred to as "Princess", since they decided to simply leave out the genderless bit completely.
* [[The Only One Allowed to Defeat You]]: {{spoiler|Kendappa to Souma.}}
* [[Unwitting Pawn]]: {{spoiler|Poor Yasha, who gets suckered no less than ''twice''.}}
* [[Well -Intentioned Extremist]]: {{spoiler|Taishakuten is revealed as this by the end of the manga, having ruled like a tyrant so the Six Stars would not gather and Ashura would not awake. }}
* [[White -Haired Pretty Girl]]: While Karura does have white hair, her sister Karyoubinga is a better example.
* [[Winged Humanoid]]
