Line 31:
** The Newsletters contain this sort of information.
* [[Alternate Universe Reed Richards Is Awesome|Alternate Universe Sasakibe Chojiro is Awesome]]: There is an omake with this title that turns the [[Flat Character]] Sasakibe Chojiro into a complete badass that borderlines [[Gary Stu]] territory. {{spoiler|Of course [[All Just a Dream|it's all just Kenpachi's dream]]. Unless, considering Lelouch explains, while drunk, that the omake is how he things Baraggan's fraccion died and why there is a [[It Makes Sense in Context|bust of Sasakibe in the 11th Division]]}}
* [[And Knowing Is Half the Battle]]: [[Playing
* [[Anyone Can Die]]: Let's see: {{spoiler|Mari, Nnoitora, [[Doomed
** [[Word of God]] has explicitly stated that this trope is applicable to the Battle of Karakura Town Arc in large contrast to canon. {{spoiler|So far, Ikkaku, Nanao and now Shuhei are among the Soul Society casualties. The First Half is over but expect it to rise in the Second Half.}}
** The Second Half just finished with the final tally adding up to be: {{spoiler|Komamura, Hiyori, Love, Hachi, Spargga, Kira, Mia, Ulquiorra, Ciela, and Talbumosuke}}. It's subverted for {{spoiler|Yammy}} who is actually killed, but {{spoiler|he is now haunting Grimmjow as Ghost Yammy}}. [[Shout-Out|Which may]] [[Expy|have been]] [[Dragon Ball Abridged|the point]].
Line 54:
* [[Asskicking Equals Authority]]: The ranking system in Hell. {{spoiler|#2 and #3 are Aizen and Talbumosuke respectively, Orin is ranked #20 and he [[Curb Stomp Battle|wiped the floor]] with [[Lightning Bruiser|I]][[Combat Pragmatist|CHI]][[Tranquil Fury|GO]], and Kasumi? She is NUMBER ONE!}}
* [[Ass Shove]]: Rangiku does this to Haineko with a stick. {{spoiler|The idea was to make Haineko orgasm so she would lose her strength and return to Rangiku}}.
* [[Attack of the
* [[Attempted Rape]]: {{spoiler|On Orihime by Needles and his group. Ichigo arrives just in time}}
** [[Screw Yourself|Chi Kamisori on Vera]]
Line 120:
* [[Chekhov's Gunman]]: Natsumi Taka, a character only briefly seen in the series back in chapter 16, is reused as {{spoiler|the character who gives Ginjo his Soul Reaper powers, but is dead by the time this is mentioned}}
* [[Chess Motifs]]: It's a [[Code Geass]] fanfic. Duh.
* [[Christmas Episode]]: The aptly named ch 72 [[Exactly What It Says
* [[Circles of Hell]]
* [[Colour-Coded for Your Convenience]]: Zero and the Phantoms of Justice.
Line 131:
** Yoruichi during her [[Naked First Impression]] to Ichigo with Lelocuh present
{{quote| '''Yoruichi''' (to Lelouch): What's thins? Like what you see? Well at least you're not acting like Byakuya-bo. When I first revealed this to him the first thing out of his mouth was--<br />
'''Ichigo''': GAH WOULD YOU [[Please Put Some Clothes On
'''Yoruichi''': Wow that was exactly it and you weren't even there, Ichigo.<br />
'''Lelouch''': [[Lampshade Hanging|I think you're kind of missing the point there Yoruichi]]. }}
Line 145:
* [[Defeat Means Friendship]]: Like in Bleach, there are elements of it in the story, but it's rarely played completely straight.
* [[Department of Redundancy Department]]: In chapter 33, while two characters are getting it on, the author says that one would possessively possess the other.
* [[Deus Ex Machina]]: Kukaku suddenly has a [[Shout-Out|Capsule]] [[
* [[Does This Remind You of Anything?]]: Lelouch thinks that he's invincible because {{spoiler|he saw himself as a captain}}. [[Word of God]] says that it's a parallel to teenagers who think that they're bullet-proof, and completely immune to addiction of any kind.
** In chapter 53, Hisana lampshades the following conversation
Line 228:
* [[Heroic Second Wind]]: Whenever this happens to your opponent, just start praying.
* [[Homage]]: [[Word of God]] continuously says that {{spoiler|Hollow Ichigo’s rampage and Yamamoto’s subsequent fight with him}} is in direct correlation to Doomsday Vs the Justice League followed by Superman’s brutal battle with him.
* [[Hoist
* [[How We Got Here]]: Chapter 120 starts with Rangiku cornered as she’s [[What Do You Mean It's Not Awesome?|prosecuting a trial]] and then flashbacks to show the incident that happened to bring her to this point.
* [[I Have Your Wife]]: Though {{spoiler|Yuna}} isn't {{spoiler|Lelouch's}} wife and actually {{spoiler|his captain}} it's the same effect played by {{spoiler|Hoshima}}.
Line 257:
* [[I Want My Beloved to Be Happy]]: In chapter 61, Gin states that if he doesn't make it, he wants Lelouch to take care of Rangiku.
** {{spoiler|Tatsuki almost states this word for word to Ichigo when she finds out that he and Orihime are a couple}}
* [[Leaning
* [[Les Yay]]: As of chapter 30 {{spoiler|Yoruichi and Soifon}} are officially a couple.
* [[Let's Fight Like Gentlemen]]: Because Ichigo is Isshin's son, {{spoiler|Kaien}} invokes this when fighting him.
Line 325:
* [[Punctuated for Emphasis]]: Sees its fair share of use
* Rape as Comedy: Rangiku [[Ass Shove|preparing to shove a stick up Haineko]] is used as this.
* [[Rape
** {{spoiler|seen again in chapter 69 when Needles and his goons [[Attempted Rape|attempt to do this to Orihime]]. Thankfully Ichigo put a stop to it}}.
* [[Rape Is a Special Kind of Evil]]: [[Mind Rape]] in this case, but it's the same thing. Starrk notes that he can tolerate watching Lilynette be overpowered or injured, but this trope is another story entirely.
Line 341:
* [[Running Gag]]: Kukaku once asked Lelouch if getting himself hospitalized was going to become a routine. As of chapter 32 it has happened 3 times.
** Eien Tamashi always says "clueless" when Lelouch gets confused about why women always act strange around him. When she says this in regards to {{spoiler|Isane}}, he instantly understands.
** In chapter 74 Eien Tamashi is apparently notes how [[Mr. Fanservice|Izuru, Shuhei, Renji and Ukitake]] singing [[Leaning
** Ichigo mistaking Spanish terms for different types of food
** Kukaku throws a party after every major victory and Kaien groans because he knows there is going to be property damage and chaos, [[Fridge Logic|most likely because the expenses are going to come out of his pocket]].
Line 348:
* [[Samus Is a Girl]]: Kasumi the [[Evil Is Sexy|hot as hell]] Togabito that helped Ichigo turns out to be {{spoiler|The Number One Togabito}} whose gender is ambiguous as no one knew it.
* [[Sex Is Violence]]: One of the Omakes has Unohana mentioning that she would have to beat the shit out of Zaraki before she could do anything.
* [[Sidetracked
{{quote| '''Rita''': You give a man and you feed him for a day. You teach a man to fish and you'll feed him for a lifetime. [[Comically Missing the Point|Unless of course he sucks at fishing even after he's learned]].}}
* [[Ship Sinking]]: [[Ichi Ruki]] fans better turn away because as of chapter 54, it officially sinks! {{spoiler|Rukia is engaged to Kaien.}}
Line 368:
** Yamamoto knows that something is up with Ichigo {{spoiler|during the demon within arc}} because he is referred to by his proper title rather than the less than respectful “gii-san”.
* [[Sorting Algorithm of Evil]]: {{spoiler|Treva Hoshina}} -> Aizen {{spoiler|-> Talbumosuke -> Muramasa -> [[Fan Nickname|Shirosaki]] -> Ginjo -> AIZEN}} for now.
* [[Spanner in
* [[Spit Take]]: Soifon after watching the news about {{spoiler|a year old, Eleventh Prince, [[Fish Out of Temporal Water|Lelouch vi Britannia]]}}.

** {{spoiler|Cornelia}}'s Story Arc: {{spoiler|Chapter 58 is a prelude for this arc and directly invoked during Lelouch's [[Flash Back|Flash Backs]] in 72 + 73, it officially begins after the Farewell Ichigo arc.}}
** The second newsletter outlines all of the upcoming arcs. [[Word of God]] doesn't want them put here on the off chance [[Aborted Arc|things go awry]]
Line 394:
* {{spoiler|[[The Baby Trap]]}}: Averted by {{spoiler|Susanna}}, who doesn't want to do this to {{spoiler|Lelouch}}. Zig-zagged, because it works anyway.

** In the special Christmas omake [[Naruto]] appears.
Line 433:
** In one battle {{spoiler|against Baraggan}} [[Dangerously Genre Savvy|Talbumosuke]] mocks the use of this trope
