Line 23:
* [[Alternate Universe Reed Richards Is Awesome|Alternate Universe Sasakibe Chojiro Is Awesome]]: There's an omake called this and it does a damn good job of making an example of this trope.
* {{spoiler|[[Big Sleep]]}}
* {{spoiler|[[Mercy Kill]]: At his Zanpakuto's request}}
 
=== Hisana Kuchiki ===
Line 62:
 
=== Izuru Kira ===
Vice-captain of Squad 3 and also a student of Lelouch's.
 
* [[Actor Allusion]]: In chapter 78, saying that he believes in the path he’s chosen makes it seem like Izuru is about to whack Victor with a [[Soul Series|bo-staff]]
Line 100:
** Confirmed with the events of chapter 94 and also apparently has shades of type B as well. There is a lot she is hiding behind that smile.
* {{spoiler|[[The Atoner]]}}
* [[Took a Level In Kindness]]: A la [[Backstory]].
* [[Understanding Boyfriend]]: Had one of these. Sadly, note the "had.".
* {{spoiler|[[Unexpected Successor]]: The NEW Captain of Squad One, by Rita herself.}}
Line 121:
** Another one came when {{spoiler|he was imprisoned for two years and stripped from his role as Captain by Central Forty-Six on account of [[Arrested for Heroism|QUESTIONABLE MISDEMEANORS AT BEST]].}}
* [[Insult Backfire]]: [[Dumb Muscle|Yammy]] is so [[The Ditz|stupid]] that Hitsugaya's diverse vocabulary proves ineffective when using an insult to tick him off.
* [[I Shall Taunt You]]: Uses this as a tactic to get Yammy to fire a cero so Ukitake can deflect it right back.
* [[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero]]: His plan to have Ukitake cero Yammy in the face knocks the big guy down, only for him to go into his enraged form.
 
Line 132:
* {{spoiler|[[Darker and Edgier]]}}
* {{spoiler|[[Expository Hairstyle Change]]: After becoming [[Darker and Edgier]] Momo removes the bun from her hair and just lets her hair flow down around her shoulders}}.
* {{spoiler|[["Friend or Idol?" Decision]]: [[Zig Zagged]] all over the place. Lelouch is the friend. Aizen is the idol. At first it looks like Lelouch has Momo on his side, but this subverted when Momo doesn't know who to choose after [[The Stations of the Canon|Aizen fakes his death]] and doesn't believe if Aizen is really evil. Of course, once Aizen is revealed to be alive after all, Momo [[Go Mad Fromfrom the Revelation|loses it]] and fights Aizen when she sees him Central Forty Six}}.
* {{spoiler|[[Get a Hold of Yourself, Man!]]: Delivered this to Lelouch when he is sleep deprived in planing the downfall of Central Forty-Six and [[Attempted Rape|was about to rape her]].}}
* {{spoiler|[[Go Mad Fromfrom the Revelation]]: Despite Lelouch's plans this happened to her anyway. At least she didn't get stabbed through the chest this time}}.
* {{spoiler|[[Heroic BSOD]]: Has one when she helps Lelouch and the Phantoms murder the Atrumier family}}.
* [[In Spite of a Nail]]: Momo’s Zanpakuto still leaves her only this time it’s because {{spoiler|Momo isn’t as [[Darker and Edgier|dark and edgy]] as she was during the Phantoms of Justice arc}}
Line 141:
* [[Mythology Gag]]: Chapter 74 [[Fan Fiction|is not]] [[Crossoverthe|first time]] the author [[Tales of Symphonia|has had]] [[Bleach|Momo]] sing [[Green Day|Wake Me Up When September Ends]].
* [[Rescue Romance]]: By intervening and saving her and her classmates rather than Aizen, Lelouch became the target of Momo's affection as well.
* [[This Is Sparta]]: From chapter 91 as she is bringing the pain to two adjuchas "Leave! My Squad! Alone!"
* [[Took a Level Inin Badass]]: Despite everything above one word from her SCREAMS THIS. {{spoiler|Bankai.}}
 
=== {{spoiler|Chief Prosecutor}} Byakuya Kuchiki ===
Line 157:
* [[Used to Be a Sweet Kid]]: [[Break the Cutie|then]] [[Despair Event Horizon|shit]] [[Silly Rabbit, Idealism Is for Kids|happened]].
* {{spoiler|[[What the Hell, Hero?]]: Hisana really lays into him for defecting to Muramasa. It's not like she knows it's an act. [[Kill the Ones You Love|It would get worse.]]}}
** {{spoiler|She follows up on it later when she realizes its all an act and asked Byakuya why he couldn't trust her. Cue [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming]]}}.
* [[You Remind Me of X]]: Lelouch tells Byakuya he reminds him of Suzaku.
 
=== Renji Abarai ===
Line 171:
* [[Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?]]: An actual good an honest literal example of this trope. Renji actually punches Zabimaru in the face, while it’s using Bankai and it helps him win. Yeah you know the red tufted part of Renji’s Bankai. He punched that. {{spoiler|Kaien}} lampshades it.
* [[Flanderization]]: In canon Renji is notirously known for being both a [[Butt Monkey]] and a victim of [[Badass Decay]]. In the fic it reaches a point where, if someone needs to be made the butt of a joke, expect Renji to be the victim or if Renji fights, don't expect him to win or put up that much of a fight.
** Seems to be getting subverted as of late with his [[Training Fromfrom Hell]] and [[Took a Level Inin Badass|extra level in badass]].
* {{spoiler|[[Heroic BSOD]]: Has some rather hilarious ones when he learns that Kaien is going to marry Rukia and that the marriage is finalized}}.
* [[Overshadowed by Awesome]]: {{spoiler|Kaien and Hisana}} specifically. He's gotten his own moments though.
* [[Throw the Dog a Bone]]: Is actually useful and essential to {{spoiler|Mia’s final defeat}}.
* [[Took a Level Inin Badass]]: In the {{spoiler|second}} battle of Karakura Town, Kaien is getting the crap kicked out of him by Mia {{spoiler|‘s Segunda Etapa}} Renji attacks her with Hikotsu Taiho and sends her flying. Yeah that’s right, the [[Butt Monkey]] always [[The Worf Effect|worfed]] red haired lieutenant just sent a {{spoiler|Segunda Etapa}} Espada flying. He even did a decent amount of damage.
* [[Training Fromfrom Hell]]: Invokes this on himself in order to [[Took a Level Inin Badass|Take a Level In Badass]] since he realizes he’s one of the weaker fighters in the {{spoiler|second battle of the}} war {{spoiler|with Talbumosuke}}
* {{spoiler|[[Unlucky Childhood Friend]]: Becomes this when Rukia marries Kaien}}.
* [[What the Hell, Hero?]]: Gave one to {{spoiler|Kaien to let him know that he is not on his own in fighting Mia}}.
Line 203:
* [[Dual-Wielding]]: Her Shikai is two small dagger blades.
* [[Improbable Use of a Weapon]]: Makes a habit of this because enemies don't expect it.
* {{spoiler|[[Killed Off for Real]]}}
* [[The Archer]]: Part of her Zanpakuto.
** [[Trick Arrow]]: She can alter the trajectory of the shots she fires
Line 211:
 
* [[Ascended Extra]]
* [[Iaijutsu Practitioner]]: Naomi says she learned it from him so obviously he’s this too.
* [[Old Soldier]]: Considering the hell he's probably been through and isn't the least bit overwhelmed by everything or exemplifying the traits of a [[Shell-Shocked Veteran]] he definitely qualifies here. Of course he seems a lot softer of an individual than the usual portrayal of this trope.
* [[Zen Survivor]]
Line 219:
 
* {{spoiler|[[Heel Face Turn]]}}: Lelouch convinces him to turn to {{spoiler|betray Aizen}}
* {{spoiler|[[Heroic BSOD]]}}: In the aftermath of the Battle of Karakura Town arcs. {{spoiler|He lost both his student and his best friend. It was bad enough that he considered resigning himself as captain until Lelouch intervened.}}
* {{spoiler|[[Reverse Mole]]}}: His role {{spoiler|after his [[Heel Face Turn]].}}
* {{spoiler|[[Sixth Ranger]]}}: to the phantoms.
Line 254:
* {{spoiler|[[Please Don't Leave Me]]: says this to Lelouch in one chapter}}.
* {{spoiler|[[Sex for Solace]]: Does this with Lelouch for her own shattered soul}}.
* [[She Is's All Grown Up]]: Lelouch’s reaction to seeing her in chapter 15 after not having seen her in nearly twenty years
* [[Stripperific]]: She wears the bare minimum in chapter 61 to seduce Lelouch.
 
=== Kukaku Shiba ===
Kaien's [[Hair-Trigger Temper|irate younger sister]]. She is hostile towards Lelouch at first, but has come to be one of his biggest supporters in recent years (in-universe of course). After Isshin's banishment {{spoiler|since Kaien is the head of the Shiba clan, which is the main family of the Kurosaki clan, Kukaku is sent to prison for political reasons. Lelouch, [[Took a Level Inin Badass|now a captain]], bails her out in exchange for having her join his squad. She complies and is currently a 6th seat under his command}}. {{spoiler|Her Zanpakuto is called Kyodai Bakudan}}.
 
* [[Abuse Is Okay When Its Female On Male]]: Beats the shit out of Ichigo/Kaien whenver they question her/piss her off.
* [[Berserk Button]]: Has [[Rule of Three|three]]. Never say no to her, never treat her like she's easy, and you ''never'' tell her to shut up.

* [[OOC Is Serious Business]]: Ichigo takes note of the fact that Kenpachi {{spoiler|[[Heroic BSOD|is in some serious funk]] by the fact that Kenpachi isn’t jumping at the chance to challenge him to a battle}}.
* [[Take Up My Sword]]: Outright defied in {{spoiler|his backstory. Kensei asks him if he was going to do this for Hekira Yachiru, but Kenpachi simply responds he’s not strong enough to do so and leaves. Presumably to get stronger}}.
* {{spoiler|[[Took a Level Inin Badass]]: Finally learns the name of his Zanpakuto.}}
