Seirei no Moribito: Difference between revisions

* [[All Girls Want Bad Boys]]: Inverted with Balsa and Tanda.

* [[Animal Stereotypes]]: Torogai derisively calls their pursuers "hounds". Just like a pack of hunting dogs, they're fierce, tireless and loyal, and Torogai seems angry at their readiness to follow questionable orders.

* [[An Astral Projection Not a Ghost]]: Saya ends up this way after drinking wine with a sig salua flower in it.

* [[The Atoner]]: Balsa.

* [[Miniature Senior Citizens]]: Torogai is either the shortest or second shortest amongst all the characters.

* [[Nice Guy]]: Tanda.

* [[Old Master]]: Torogai.

* [[Our Mermaids Are Different]]: The Water Folk.

* [[Screwed By the Network]]: The English dub was aired at 5:30 AM EST by [[Adult Swim]], dropped after 10 episodes, restarted in a better timeslot, and then dropped again due to the fallout of [[Geneon]] going bankrupt; the release of the DVD's got snagged up in red tape. Adult Swim was not permitted to continue showing Moribito until the licensing issues were resolved and DVD's 4-8 were allowed to be released. However, the problems were eventually solved, and [[Adult Swim]] re aired and complete the series between June and December 2009.

* [[Secondary Character Title]]: The Guardian of the Spirits on the title is Prince Chagum, while the protagonist is Balsa, his bodyguard - or the guardian of the Guardian of the Spirits.

* [[Shipper On Deck]]: Pretty much everyone who knows them seems to want Balsa and Tanda to get married already.

* [[Someone Has to Die]]: {{spoiler|It eventually comes out that the hatching of the water spirit's egg involves the death of the carrier. Chagum is understandably rattled when he finds out.}}

* [[Speaking Simlish]]: The Water Folk, although they let slip a few understandable terms like "Ra Runga", "Tamago" (egg) and "Nyunga Ro Chaga" (Guardian of the Sacred Spirit).

* [[Spirit World]]: Nayug.

* [[Standard Royal Court]]

* [[Tomboy]]: Balsa.

* [[Took a Level In Badass]]: Tanda {{spoiler|VS Ra Runga}}.

* [[Trying to Catch Me Fighting Dirty]]: A stark contrast to [[Lady of War]] mentioned above. In times of desperation, Balsa will start brawling and fight dirty and does '''whatever it takes''' to ensure Chagum's survival. She's fine if she has her spear with her, but if she loses that, you better prepare to have your eye socket [[Improvised Weapon|crushed in by a rock.]]

* [[Try Not to Die]]

* [[Unlucky Childhood Friend]]: Tanda.

* [[Weapon Tombstone]]: {{spoiler|Jiguro uses the [[Blade On a Stick|eponymous weapons]] of the last six King's Spears to mark their graves after he kills them}}.

* [[The White Prince]]: Chagum at first.

* [[Whole Episode Flashback]]: One (plus another half-episode) that explain Balsa's childhood and how she became a bodyguard.
