Sakana: Difference between revisions

Line 46:

* [[Cannot Spit It Out]]: Jiro has been in love with [[No Name Given|"cashier girl"]], the girl who's working across from him '''for two years''', and had not the courage to talk to her casually, or even ask her ''name''. It's a good thing he has [[Big Brother Instinct|Taro]] and Taisei to help him out.

* [[Cast of Snowflakes]]: Thanks to the artists style being pretty recognizable, no character looks like the other. Even Jiro and Taro, who are ''brothers''. Also, every character has a distinct personality [[Rounded Character|and their own quirks]].

* [[Cats Are Mean]]: So very averted with [[Cute Kitten|Hime]].

* [[Cerebus Retcon]]: While most of the cast's traits still manage to be funny after that, they get tainted due to a sad background behind them.

* [[Cerebus Rollercoaster]]

Line 77:

* [[Green Eyed Red Head]]: Jan is one.

* [[Grew a Spine]]: Jiro slowly but surely grows one. Look no further when he [[Tranquil Fury|very calmly]] {{spoiler|kicks Yuudai's abusive ex out}} or {{spoiler|quickly shuts Yuudai up when his pricklish behavior gets too much for him to tolerate.}}

* [[Grumpy Bear]]: Nothing but his [[Kindhearted Cat Lover|cat]] (and maybe Jiro being "devastated"...) seems to make Yuudai's day brighter.

* [[Grumpy Bear]]: Nothing but his [[Kindhearted Cat Lover|cat]] (and maybe Jiro being "devastated"...) seems to make Yuudai's day brighter. {{spoiler|At least until [[Genki Guy|Taisei]] comes along.}}

* [[Hate Sink]]: It has one in the form of {{spoiler|Arata Tasaki, Yuudai's [[Domestic Abuse|abusive]] ex. Between harassing him via text messages, showing up to Yuudai's workplace unannounced and acting insulting to both Yuudai and Jiro, outing Yuudai in the process}}, it's clear he's designed to be hated. {{spoiler|And let's not forget what happened when he run into Yuudai again after work...}}

* [[Hates Being Touched]]: A defensive mechanism of Yuudai, and it's implied [[Jerkass Woobie|that he has a pretty good reason for it]].

Line 85:

Line 86:

* [[Hidden Depths]]: You wouldn't think that Yuudai, the [[Grumpy Bear|grumpy guy]] with the [[Jerkass]] behaviour loves cats and everything [[Cuteness Proximity|cute and cat-related]], and also is a [[All There in the Manual|big fan of anime]]. {{spoiler|Much less so that he's gay and has recently gotten out of an abusive relationship.}}

** This applies to every character in general.

* [[Horrible Judge of Character]]: Taisei doesn't seem to notice that Yuudai is not exactly Jiro's friend, and instead immediately sees Yuudai as [[Nakama|part of the team]]. Yuudai is ~~this~~ ~~too~~ in ~~the~~ ~~opposite~~ ~~way~~, ~~thinking~~ ~~everyone~~ is ~~out~~ to ~~get~~ ~~him~~ ~~only~~ to ~~show~~ ~~they~~ ~~care~~ ~~about~~ ~~him~~.

* [[Horrible Judge of Character]]: Taisei doesn't seem to notice that Yuudai is not exactly Jiro's friend, and instead immediately sees Yuudai as [[Nakama|part of the team]], and generally takes wrong assumptions due to his [[Wide-Eyed Idealist|naïve idealism]]. That said, his judgement of Yuudai isn't exactly wrong, as he is [[Jerk with a Heart of Gold|a kind person underneath his pricklishness]], and it's justified due to Yuudai [[Morality Pet|trying to act as nice as possible whenever he's present]].

** Yuudai is this too in the opposite way, thinking everyone is a [[Bitch in Sheep's Clothing]] who is out to get him, only to find out the vast majority are [[Nice Guy|genuinely kind people]] who do care about him. {{spoiler|You can thank [[Domestic Abuser|Arata]] for that.}}

* [[Important Haircut]]: Invoked, as it symbolizes the character's growth. {{spoiler|Jiro has his in strip 508, while Yuudai will have his in the future, according to the author.}}

* [[In Touch with His Feminine Side]]: Taisei loves to go [[Large Ham|SHOPP-ING~!]]

Line 110:

Line 112:

* [[Loser Protagonist]]

* [[Love At First Sight]]: More or less. {{spoiler|Yuudai}} was already smitten when he first saw {{spoiler|Taisei}}, but his feelings were fully solidified when he showed him selfless kindness and treated him as his friend.

** It can also apply to {{spoiler|Taisei}} as well, as his crush on {{spoiler|Yuudai}} took less than three days.

** It can also apply to {{spoiler|Taisei}} as well, as his crush on {{spoiler|Yuudai}} took less than three days to be solidified.

* [[Love Bubbles]]: "Cashier Girl" has them and [[Bishie Sparkle|sparkles]] in Jiro-Vision.

** In chapter seven, a lovestruck Jiro is surrounded by [http://www.mangamagazine.net/read-manga/SAKANA-Chapter-7-Chapter-7/125/6/7 gigantic roses and sparkles].

Line 148:

Line 150:

* [[Sibling Yin-Yang]]: The Sakana brothers, Jiro and Taro. Jiro is the meek, reserved and shy younger brother while Taro is the passionate, thrill-seeking, extroverted older brother.

** The Yamamoto sisters also fit this trope. {{spoiler|Chie/"Cashier Girl" is a sweet, feminine [[Nice Girl]] who used to be an [[Enfante Terrible]] in her youth, while Mori/"Angry Lady" is a bitter tomboy who was a much nicer child.}}

** Also [[Genki Guy|Taisei]] and his older brother [[The Quiet One|Genkei]]. Later subverted, as Genkei proves he's just as intelligent and excitable as his brother ~~and~~, even sharing his trademark laugh.

** Also [[Genki Guy|Taisei]] and his older brother [[The Quiet One|Genkei]]. Later subverted, as Genkei proves he's just as intelligent and excitable as his brother, even sharing his trademark laugh.

* [[Sickeningly Sweethearts]]: Jiro, in an attempt to eat on a cheap place in his date, accidentally goes to a place where ''[[Up to Eleven|everyone]]'' is this, which only furthers his embarrassment.

* [[Single Woman Seeks Good Man]]: Cashier Girl/{{spoiler|Chie}} is very much interested in Jiro, who is a very awkward but sweet guy. Jiro is very much this as well, as he likes her for her [[Nice Girl]] personality {{spoiler|and is more than shocked when he discovers she used to be his childhood bully.}} "Angry Lady"/{{spoiler|Mori}} is also this, considering {{spoiler|she dumped her cheating ex-fiancé and gets some [[Ship Tease]] with Taro, who (rage issues aside) is a [[Nice Guy]] like his brother.}}
