* [[A Child Shall Lead Them]]: Sasha, Athena reincarnated, is only fourteen. Alone is just one year older.

* [[Absolute Cleavage]]: Crane Yuzuriha.

* [[Absurdly Sharp Blade]]: Capricorn El Cid's signature move Excalibur, Alone/Hades's sword.

* [[All There in the Manual]]: Some details about Athena's past life, Hades's past vessel, Cheshire's battle moves and official division within the Specter army... all revealed via DVD/Blu-Ray booklet.

* [[Ambiguously Brown]]: Cait Sith Cheshire, {{spoiler|Gemini}} Defteros.

* [[An Axe to Grind]]: Minotaur Gordon. [[Blade Below the Shoulder|Metaphorically]].

* [[An Ice Person]]: Aquarius Degel, Krest.

* [[Battle Aura]]: Cosmo energy is depicted as something similar to fire.

** Purple: [[Colour-Coded for Your Convenience|Pretty much everyone from Hades's side.]]

** Dohko's first battle in the series also happens under rainfall.

* [[Berserk Button]]: {{spoiler|The mere presence of Wyvern Rhadamanthys, his father's murderer, is this to Leo Regulus.}}

* [[Bittersweet Ending]]: {{spoiler|Tenma, Sasha and Alone perish after their last attack against Hades, only a handful survive ([[Foregone Conclusion|Shion and Dohko]], Teneo, Yato, Yuzuriha, Atla, Cheshire and Pandora), Athena's army is practically destroyed, the Sanctuary is desolated and empty -- but the sky shines bright with the hope of the next generation.}}

* [[Bizarrchitecture]]: Lost Canvas. Fair enough, since it's a gigantic materialized painting.

** Also, Kardia and his overheating heart, Albafica and his poisonous blood and in a rare villian example: Basilisk Sylphid {{spoiler|who also deals with something similar to Albafica}}.

* [[Blind Seer]]: Asmita

* [[Co-Dragons]]: Hypnos, Thanatos and Pandora.

* [[Cold Flames]]: Cancer Manigoldo's Ignis Fatuus.

* [[Combat Tentacles]]: Alraune Queen.

* [[Combination Attack]]: {{spoiler|Sasha, Tenma and Alone! against Hades}}.

* [[Deadly Upgrade]]: Scorpio Kardia's most powerful version of his signature attack, Katakaio Antares, falls in this category. {{spoiler|Luckily, he doesn't mind as he has a degenerative heart disease and just wants a really good fight before dying}}.

** Leo Regulus' Zodiac Clamation.

* [[Death Seeker]]: {{spoiler|Alone}}.

* [[Determinator]]: Tenma is reaching Seiya's level during his fight against {{spoiler|his own mother, Owl Partita}}.

* [[Distressed Dude]]: Amazingly, Athena may need defending, but she never really gets kidnapped. ''Tenma'' is taken to one of Alone's fortresses when in a near-death state and trapped in the underworld. He's chained up and told that Alone [[We Can Rule Together|wants Tenma by his side and wants him to become a high-ranking member of his army.]]

* [[Don't Look Back]]: The prime rule for those who enter the sea of clouds in the Lost Canvas. [[Taken for Granite|Some just can't resist...]]

* [[Driven to Suicide]]: {{spoiler|Gemini Aspros ends up committing suicide after his failed coup d'état, rather than to atone for what he had done.}}

** {{spoiler|Kagaho's [[Dead Little Sister|little brother]] Sui}}, as he thought he was a burden for his older brother.

** And {{spoiler|Basilisk Sylphid.}}

* [[Ham to Ham Combat]]: {{spoiler|Mephistopheles Youma vs Gemini Aspros}}.

** {{spoiler|Aquarius Degel might also count, since his sight was also greatly damaged that he couldn't see anything farther than a few inches away clearly.}}

* [[Heel Face Turn]]: {{spoiler|Gemini Aspros, after his fight with Defteros.}}

*** Radamanthys/Regulus on the front cover of Chapter 200 as well as during their fight.

*** Alone/Hades with Tenma too especially at the moment when he takes Tenma's head in his hands very close to him as if to give him a kiss. This goes [[Up to Eleven]] in the latest chapters (past 212).

* [[Hope Sprouts Eternal]]: {{spoiler|If you're not too cynical about the ending, specially considering the [[Foregone Conclusion]] that this war will happen again in the future.}}

* [[Hot-Blooded]]: Tenma, just like his successor, Seiya. And still [[The Hero]].

* [[I Am Your Opponent]]: Griffin Minos to Pisces Albafica, then later [[Big Damn Hero|Pisces Albafica to Griffin Minos]]; Taurus Aldebaran to Bennu Kagaho; Scorpio Kardia to Wyvern Rhadamanthys; Sagittarius Sisyphus to Garuda Aiacos; Libra Dohko to Bennu Kagaho, at the temple of terra; and finally [[Crowning Moment of Awesome|Gemini Aspros to Mephistopheles Youma]].

* [[I Know You Are in There Somewhere Fight|I Know You're In There Somewhere]]: {{spoiler|Athena to Pandora. Sorta.}}

** {{spoiler|Regulus}} impales {{spoiler|Rhadamanthys}} with a fist coated in [[Shock and Awe]] and rips off his heart.

** {{spoiler|Tenma}} ultimately defeats {{spoiler|Alone}} with a [[Power Fist]] that pierces through his body.

== J-L ==

** Played with Albafica in his backstory.

** Virgo Asmita absolutely qualifies.

* [[Kill'Em All]]: The series is ''really'' known for having minimal plot armor. {{spoiler|As of chapter 212, Shion and Dohko are out of commission, only Sasha and Tenma remain capable of making a stand, barely.}}

** [[It Got Worse|It doesn't look good, does it?]]

* [[Killed Off for Real]] : See [[Kill'Em All]].

* [[Knight in Sour Armor]]: Arguably, Alone. {{spoiler|Not Hades, Alone.}}

* [[Light Is Not Good]]: The Lost Canvas itself. It basically depicts a whole lot of angels, which {{spoiler|eventually gain a life of their own to block Tenma's attacks in his final confrontation with Alone.}}

* [[Lightning Bruiser]]: Taurus Rasgado, the fastest Saint.

* [[Living Weapon]] : {{spoiler|Mephistopheles Youma claims Pegasus Tenma is this and that he plans to harvest his soul in order to take down the Olympus Gods}}.

* [[Lotus Eater Machine]]: {{spoiler|Morpheus' realm in which Tenma was trapped and shown happy visions of his childhood with Sasha and Alone.}}

* [[Meditation Powerup]]: Virgo Asmita.

* [[Mega Manning]]: Leo Regulus's signature ability.

* [[Mind Rape]]: Often, from such varied sources as Alone, Virgo Asmita (a master in the art of) and Nasu Veronica.

* [[Monstrosity Equals Weakness]]: On the Specter side. Usually, the big and menacing ones are quite weak, while the [[Bishounen Line|smaller and more handsome]] ones are the real threat.

* [[Motive Rant]]: Youma gets one when he reveals his true nature to {{spoiler|Aspros}}... which [[Kirk Summation|is then swiftly deflated when it's pointed out how pathetic he really is.]]

* [[Noble Demon]]: Bennu Kagaho and Harpy Valentine, {{spoiler|Wyvern Radamanthys}}.

* [[Obfuscating Disability]]: Virgo Asmita's blindness.

* [[Ominous Latin Chanting]]: Veronica singing Psalm 23.

* [[Ominous Pipe Organ]]: Veronica plays one while manipulating the corpses of children.

** Asmita does come back as a ghost at one point :)

** {{spoiler|And Radamantys, which everyone thought had died at the hands of Scorpio Kardia}}

* [[The Only One Allowed to Defeat You]] - The rivalry between Bennu Kagaho and Libra Dohko seems to be heading to this conclusion.

* [[OOC Is Serious Business]]: Youma is always in a good mood and making fun of everybody else, even when he's being a [[Complete Monster]]... when he isn't cheery, run away '''really''' fast.

* [[Petal Power]]: Albafica.

* [[Physical God]]: {{spoiler|Wyvern Rhadamanthys}} after being blessed with Hades's blood.

* [[Please Wake Up]]: Yato to Tenma after the Holy War's first battle in Italy.

* [[Poisonous Person]]: Albafica, Sylphid.

* [[Power Makes Your Hair Grow]]: Happens to Sasha {{spoiler|when she regains her divine powers, previously sealed by Alone.}}

* [[The Power of Blood]]: Athena, Albafica.

* [[Punch-Punch-Punch Uh-Oh]]: Deep Niobe to ''[[Dude Looks Like a Lady|Pisces Albafica]]'' and Bennu Kagaho to Taurus Aldebaran. Interesting since this trope is usually reserved for the heroes instead of the villains.

* [[Pure Is Not Good]]: {{spoiler|DAMMIT ALONE!}}

* [[Scenery Gorn]]: The Underworld, with a waterfall of blood and all.

* [[Scenery Porn]]: Loads, but Atlantis takes the cake.

* [[Shock and Awe]]: Pandora's signature attack.

* [[Show Some Leg]]: Crane Yuzuriha, Lady Pandora, {{spoiler|Owl Partita}}.

* [[Sorting Algorithm of Evil]]: Averted. The difficulty of the enemies varies ranging from simply strong Specters like Kagaho, the three Judges, Thanatos and Hypnos. In fact, a good deal of energy is put forth into defeating Thanatos and Hypnos, Hades's [[The Dragon|Dragons]] before they even finish off the Judges!

* [[Soul Jar]]: {{spoiler|Lady Seraphina for Poseidon, and Alone for Hades.}}

* [[Spikes of Doom]]: All over the place in Jamir.

* [[Start of Darkness]]: Gemini Aspros and Defteros when {{spoiler|Mephistopheles Youma was the one that stirred up the rivalry between them and tricked Aspros into fearing and hating Defteros when they were younger.}}
