And before you ask, no. There has not been a single sex scene. The title is just like that.

And now it has even an [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GHAaA9RilcE opening theme]!
Line 19:
{{tropelist}}
* [[Absurdly Sharp Blade]]: The SI's portal. [[Justified Trope|Justified]] because it's a two dimensional object in a three dimensional universe.
* [[Accidental Pervert]]: The guy is randomly teleported into girls' beds whenever he falls asleep.
** When Washuu walks in on him in the bath, he actually hangs enough lampshades at each point of the gag process so as to walk her through how the phenomenon works.
** In Volume II, he begins noticing that the pattern of beds he ended up in from the first "loop" is repeating itself.
Line 26:
* [[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.''
{{quote|"What? NO FAIR! I HIT HIM! I HIT HIM!"}}
** It has been noted, however, that while he's immune to the magic itself, he can still be killed by mundane-physics secondary effects, like superheated air, fast-moving tangible projectiles, enhanced physical strength, rubble, etc.
** Also, while HE is immune to magic, the armored suit that Washu gives him is not. And since it links directly into his nervous system... well, he can now be hurt by magic, but the effects are lessened.
** In addition, the more food, air, and water he intakes from magic-affected universes, the more magically-affected matter replaces his body mass. Eventually, he would become completely vulnerable to magic. (Though it takes about 7 years to completely replace a person's body mass with new material, so it would be very gradual.)
Line 49:
'''SI''': -AND ASK HER? }}
* [[Batman Gambit]]: The crazy plot the SI concocts to {{spoiler|get Urd to acknowledge Hild as her mother}}. However, because the SI is new at this and extremely sleep-deprived, it fails. [[Hilarity Ensues|Spectacularly]].
* [[Bedmate Reveal]]: Partially; both the SI and the audience know that he's ended up in some girl's bed each time he jumps, but ''whose'' bed has made for points of suspense. The girls are, in order and spoilered for your convenience:
## {{spoiler|[[Tenchi Muyo!|Aeka Masaki Jurai]]}}
## {{spoiler|[[Love Hina|Motoko Aoyama]]}}
Line 87:
* [[Defeat Means Friendship]]: [[Love Hina|Motoko]] becomes a friend of the SI right at the end of his time at the Hinata House.<ref>At the end of the second ''[[Love Hina]]'' arc.</ref> This qualifies because when he first showed up, Motoko violently attacked him, and he defeated her.
* [[Defictionalization]]: The author, after making the "Mo' Dakka Fo' Life," idea, went and made the real shirt. He's selling them online.
* [[Depleted Phlebotinum Shells]]: In the second volume, Washu provides the SI with specialty shotgun rounds in addition to standard ones; The Yellowjacket rounds (sabot razor darts), Backlash (essentially a ''[[Warhammer 4000040,000]]'' Bolter round), and the Goodfellow (has a tiny string of [[Stuff Blowing Up|antimatter]] contained within).
* [[Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?]]: The SI {{spoiler|kills Zoicite.}} Let me restate that. ''A bog-standard human, armed with nothing more than a shotgun, a grenade, and his wits, {{spoiler|kills a Dark General, a being of pure evil who is impressively skilled with magic.}}''
* [[Face Palm]]: [[Those Who Hunt Elves|Airi's]] reaction when the SI mentions an easy way to make money that [[Fridge Logic|the entire group overlooked before he pointed it out.]]
Line 125:
{{quote|GOD DAMMIT I'VE FUCKING KILLED THEM! GOOD GOING ME! I AM BECOME MIKE NELSON! DESTROYER OF WORLDS!}}
* [[Mistaken for Gay]]: The SI once comments that in [[Real Life]] he treats women with such respect that some people have gotten this impression of him ([[Word of God|he isn't]]).
* [[More Dakka]]: As of Volume II, thanks to Washu giving the SI [[Warhammer 4000040,000|Bolter Rounds]] and antimatter bullets to the SI.
* [[Mr. Exposition]]: The SI tends to fill this role when explaining the various worlds to [[Sailor Moon|Luna]]. Volume II, Chapter 20 has him diving into this trope full scale to the Sailor Senshi.
* [[The Multiverse]]: The SI has no control over where he ends up. Interestingly, not even ''Washuu'' knows how it's being done.<ref>Chapter 12 of Volume 2 revealed that Washuu 'could'' find out what's going on if she adopted one of her reality-breaking forms, but won't because that would negate the challenge and thus, in her mind, the fun.</ref>
Line 171:
* [[One of Us]]: the author. He lists tropes by name in many cases.
* [[The Quest]]: Crystallizes in Volume II with the SI's overriding goal being to fix everything he accidentally messed up in the first loop.
* [[Painting the Fourth Wall]]: The Author put a scene in Volume I, Chapter 15 of the SI accessing the [[Space BattlesSpacebattles.com]] [http://forums.spacebattles.com forums] to talk about his adventures, and asked real forum-goers to contribute to the resulting scene.
{{quote|"...Why does this sound like one of those Role Play threads where you wake up in bed with a girl from fiction?"}}
* [[Pervert Revenge Mode]]: A ''physical law'' in the worlds that the SI ends up in. And since the SI frequently ends up in the beds of [[Tsundere]]s and doesn't have the kind of protection that normal anime males do from [[Megaton Punch]]es...well, it gets crazy.
Line 179:
* [[Read the Freaking Manual]]: Washu gives the SI an instruction manual to go with the super-strength-granting clothes. Of course, in a rare moment of [[Genre Blindness]], he doesn't read it until ''after'' he ends up doing something that the instructions would have warned him against...
** He does give the justification that he normally would, but his circumstances are far from normal, and he hasn't had much time to look it over. And, to make matters worse, every time he did try to sit down and read it, [[Finagle's Law|something always interrupted him]]...
* [[Required Secondary Powers]]: The SI's power suit can give him increased strength, but not the extra resilience required to use that strength. And the nanomachines Washu gave him may speed up his body's healing process, but it kicks his metabolism into overdrive, burning through loads of energy, nutrients, and water. Plus, at the rate the SI is being injured, those nanomachines can't keep up with filtering out the extra toxins in his bloodstream, leading to a near kidney failure in the second ''[[Ranma ½]]'' arc. His reaction to learning this is [[Oh Crap|not a pleasant one.]]
* [[Rule of Funny]]: One of the SI's greatest enemies. What in one world is subject to rule of funny, such as [[Love Hina|Motoko]] launching an attack on a perverted male, sending him flying, becomes ''very'' dangerous to one ''without'' the rule's protection. He openly states that some of the attacks launched for "Comedy Reasons" would turn him into a bloody red mist.
** In the second volume, he's starting to spot "Rule Of Funny," events, and is working them to his advantage. He walks [[Tenchi Muyo!|Washu]] through a perverted gag ''in real time.''
Line 200:
** At one point in the second Hinata Arc, he says "If things get any more impossible, [[Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann|I'm going to have to break out the pointy shades."]] He also quotes the memeticly catchy song "Row Row Fight Da Power" in the Home Arc of volume one.
** In the ''[[Those Who Hunt Elves]]'' arc of volume one, he claims that he has [[Fate/stay night|UNLIMITED BUCKSHOT WORKS.]]
** Multiple shout outs to [[Warhammer 4000040,000]].
*** He has a shirt that says "[[More Dakka]] Fo' Life," that has an Ork skull on it. The author has a picture of what it would look like on his Deviantart Page, and is apparently selling copies of the shirt online.
*** One of [[I Call It Vera|Mossy's]] new rounds are essentially Bolter Rounds (noted in text).
Line 232:
* [[Token Evil Teammate]]: Senbei
* [[Too Dumb to Live]]: The SI starts getting like this once he gets ''really'' tired, and he starts paying more attention to the coolness factor rather than the danger factor.
* [[Took a Level Inin Badass]]: The SI is ''trying'' to do this...
** He's also trying to get others he's allied with to do this as well. Specifically, in the second Sailor Moon arc he starts giving the Senshi ideas on inventing new attack patterns, using their powers for more appropriate combat roles, or just plain putting more energy into their attacks. He outright cheats and gives Mercury the name of her Season 2 standard attack, and somehow she figures out how to do it with no other information than a description of what it does.
* [[Translator Microbes]]: Washu gives the SI nanobots to teach him Japanese. He ends up learning spoken Japanese but not written Japanese. Washu is confused about this, as they were supposed to teach him reading, too, but the lack of sleep the SI had been suffering up until that point was at least partially to blame for this. Time will tell if the lengthened sleep times in the second volume will help him in this regard...
