Line 23:
** In Volume II, he begins noticing that the pattern of beds he ended up in from the first "loop" is repeating itself.
* [[Action Survivor]]: The SI, natch.
* [[All the Tropes Will Ruin Your Vocabulary]]: The S.I. refers to many tropes by name.
** When he describes [[Sailor Moon|Queen Metallia]] as an [[Eldritch Abomination]], nobody has any idea what he's talking about.
* [[The All-Concealing "I"]]: Used to conceal the SI's name.
* [[Anti-Magic]]: The SI took a full power blast from Zoicite, causing Zoicite to think him dead, and only got winded. Later, one of the Number Cyborgs shot him with a pure magic blast, and not only did it not do any good whatsoever, but he ''didn't even notice when it happened.''
Line 192 ⟶ 194:
* [[Shotguns Are Just Better]]: Invoked when the SI passes on an M-16 and goes for the Mossberg 500 Tactical shotgun.
** Later becomes [[Justified Trope|justified]] when Washu provides him with upgraded futuristic ammo, including flechette, bolter and antimatter shells. A shotgun is simply far more versatile in the type and caliber of ammo it can be loaded with, without changing the gun itself at all.
==* [[Shout -Out ==]]s:
 
== Shout Out ==
 
** The SI refers to the [[Known Space|Kzinti Lesson]] after being reminded that being outside while [[Tenchi Muyo!|Mihoshi]] is [[Weaponized Exhaust|lifting off is a Bad Idea]]. Well, he doesn't really ''refer'' to it so much as ''shout the phrase loudly and repeatedly at himself while running for cover'', but hey, still a shout-out. Literally.
** His super suit is called the [[Half Life|HEV Suit]].
Line 217:
** One show that the SI starts to watch is ''Lock'N'Load'' with R. Lee Ermy.
** At one point [[Love Hina|Haruka]] is compared to [[Animaniacs|Slappy Squirrel.]]
 
* [[Shown Their Work]]: When the SI was running from Sailor Mars, the author got an actual map of the [[Real Life]] area surrounding the shrine to plot out the SI's route.
* [[A Simple Plan]]: The SI keeps running into the problem that, because of [[Rule of Funny|the laws of comedy]], all of his plans are doomed to backfire in "humorous" ways.
Line 245 ⟶ 244:
* [[This Is Sparta]]: When explaining an elf her chances to revenge on Those Who Hunt Elves.<ref>''[[Those Who Hunt Elves]],'' second arc</ref>
{{quote|'''SI:''' Let me make this absolutely clear. YOU. CANNOT. WIN.}}
* [[All the Tropes Will Ruin Your Vocabulary]]: The S.I. refers to many tropes by name.
** When he describes [[Sailor Moon|Queen Metallia]] as an [[Eldritch Abomination]], nobody has any idea what he's talking about.
* [[Unfazed Everyman]]: The main character has absolutely no special abilities, no magic powers, and had to get a medical nanobot injection just to ''survive'' the first [[Tenchi Muyo!|two]] [[Love Hina|worlds]] he ended up in. Of course, he's also been through boot camp and knows his way around firearms, so that's one small advantage.
* [[Unspoken Plan Guarantee]]: [[Invoked]].
Line 252 ⟶ 249:
* [[Upgrade Artifact]]: The nanobots and [[Clothes Make the Superman|protective suit]] Washu gives the SI after the near-disastrous first loop's conclusion.
* [[Voice with an Internet Connection]]: [[Tenchi Muyo!|Washu]] (whom the protagonists meets and befriends on the first "jump", and stays in contact with via a transdimensional communicator) has a bit of this.
* [[Vomit Discretion Shot]]: Volume 2, Chapter 17:
{{quote|The next few minutes were not exactly the highlight of my life. And it's not something I'd really like to get into too much detail about, and I'm sure nobody really wants those kind of details anyway. But for the sake of accuracy, I did indeed spend this time worshiping the All-Powerful Porcelain Goddess.}}
* [[Who Would Want to Watch Us?]]: This is the common reaction fictional characters have when the SI explains where he's from. Later, [[Sailor Moon|Luna]] gets to watch a few episodes of the ''[[Sailor Moon]]'' anime.
{{quote|'''Luna''': This is surreal. I can see myself panicking, but the way this episode is cut, it's ''obvious'' that Rhett Butler has the final crystal piece.
