Line 71:
* [[Badass Boast]]: The page quote, which comes from the end of the Prelude arc.
** How about this one {{spoiler|near the end of Eye Of The Storm}}:
{{quote| '''Lelouch:''' {{spoiler|"It's a perfect plan, but you made one mistake. And that mistake was that you crossed paths with me. From the very moment you sent Urahara Kisuke to be banished I have worked to trip you at every turn, stop you at every juncture and counter your every move. I played by your rules and settings, simply because I had no problem in doing so. You always wanted a rival Aizen. Well here I am!"}}}}
** Uryu vs Shawlong. "I will kill you before you land a single blow on me." Bonus points for ''actually doing it''.
** Shinji: I won't need more than five minutes.
Line 126:
* [[Comically Missing the Point]]: Rukia says that she'll replace Byakuya's flowers when her rabbit eats them, before {{spoiler|Hisana }} calls her on this.
**
{{quote| '''Eien Tamashi''': Pick one, or, if you prefer, make a harem. Just make it so I'm not sweltering because a girl you like set off your reproductive organs.<br />
'''Lelouch''': I didn't think Zanpakuto could be affected by temperature.<br />
'''Eien Tamashi''': You're missing the point! }}
** 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]]?!<br />
'''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]]. }}
* [[Complete Monster]]: {{spoiler|The Inked Alliance}} is {{spoiler|not only}} responsible for the Soul Chess version of 9/11{{spoiler|, but also responsible for Ginjo's [[Start of Darkness]] by pointlessly breaking into his house and killed his mother and girlfriend Natsumi.}}
Line 148:
* [[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
{{quote| '''Rangiku''': Are you sure it's a good idea to stick it in bare like that?<br />
'''Renji''': Only if you don't have a glove }}
** [[It Makes Sense in Context]] since they're trying to get Kon's pill out of his plush body and Renji doesn't have on of those special skull symbol gloves, which is the glove he's referring to.
** In chapter 64, while [[Vampiric Draining|having his reiatsu absorbed by Mia]]
{{quote| '''Kaien''': Wh-what is this that I'm feeling? I have nothing, but contempt for this woman...but...my body...it's reacting to her. She's…she sucking me dry.}}
** On September 11th 2001 atb, A pair of hijacked planes hit a pair of towers in [[Big Applesauce|Britannian Yorkshire]], a plane is shot down by anti-air cannons about to hit Pendragon (The plane that hit the pentagon) and one crashed in the middle of the Jamison Province (Flight 93 that crashed in Pennsylvania).
* [[Doorstopper]]: At over one million words at the time of writing, this definitely qualifies.
* [[Driven to Suicide]]: Several Togabito because Lelouch and the others mention Rita and she’s supposed to be a myth. And they’re the good guys.
{{quote| '''Shinji''': [[Lampshade Hanging|We are bastards]].}}
* [[Dungeon Bypass]]: The second [[Circles of Hell|circle of hell]] is a fighting arena where, those who want to test their skill, or explore the lower regions, must fight for their lives. Upon the reveal that Kokuto is the [[Asskicking Equals Authority|187th strongest]], the other fighters [[Bring My Brown Pants|give up before the match starts]].
* [[Early-Bird Cameo]]: Ikumi Unagiya appears in chapter 72 while the Arrancar dilemma is still the main plot line.
Line 206:
** In chapter 73 it's mentioned that Lelouch might respond to the call of vigilantism again and at the during the Lelouch and the Law arc he tells Byakuya he'd always help him out in anyway he could if he needed it. {{spoiler|in chapter 99 it's revealed that Lelouch and Byakuya are working together against Muramasa, while [[Fake Defector|pretending]] to betray the Soul Society}}.
** Ichigo's comment in chapter 106 when Isshin is going to an overseas trip for a medical conference for a week pretty much said it all.
{{quote| '''Ichigo''': "Dad, nothing's going to happen relax. You're acting like [[Foregone Conclusion|Britannia's going to invade the country]] or [[Tempting Fate|creatures from the depths of hell are going to rise up and attack us]]."}}
** In chapter 123 Rita brings out a soul that has been unwilling to be reincarnated and uses it to some degree. In 124 that soul appears and Shinji recognizes {{spoiler|her}}. This is all leading up to [[The Reveal]] that {{spoiler|the soul in question is the consciousness of Mari who has been brought [[Back From the Dead]] temporarily in order to kick some butt}}.
* [[For Want of a Nail]]: Inverted. {{spoiler|The series basically inserts Lelouch into Bleach 126 years ago}}. Major changes have happened to [[The Stations of the Canon]] of [[Bleach]] as a result. Of course...
Line 349:
* [[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 by the Analogy]]: Rita in ch 125
{{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.}}
{{quote| '''Ichigo''': Wow. That's really something. I never knew. I'm happy for you Rukia. You two are good for each other.<br />
'''Rukia''': Better than you and I would do together at any rate.<br />
'''Ichigo''': Yeah that's for sure. }}
* [[Ship Tease]]: The author is still keeping us in suspense with Lelouch's love life. {{spoiler|Ichigo seems to have been cemented with Orihime}}
Line 432:
** Mia utters this almost word for word when Kaien [[Heroic Second Wind|gets his second wind]] during their third battle.
** In one battle {{spoiler|against Baraggan}} [[Dangerously Genre Savvy|Talbumosuke]] mocks the use of this trope
{{quote| '''Talbumosuke''': See this is why you would never make a good leader. Uttering lines like that is just [[Tempting Fate|begging to be killed]].}}
* [[Throw the Dog a Bone]]: After all of the abuse, [[Butt Monkey|Keigo]] finally gets to spend some time with Ichigo.
* [[Title Drop]]: In chapter 98, Lelouch claims to be playing a game of Soul Chess.
Line 479:
* [[When All You Have Is a Hammer]]: Kukaku's plan to help her and Ichigo land safely.
* [[Who's on First?]]: Done in the [[Yu-Gi-Oh!]] omake
{{quote| '''Renji''': I'm just going to go ahead and summon Something.<br />
'''Kaien''': Okay, what is it?.<br />
'''Renji''': It's Something.<br />
'''Kaien''': I get that, but what is it?<br />
'''Renji''': Something.<br />
'''Kaien''': Look the card has a name, right?<br />
'''Renji''': Yes.<br />
'''Kaien''': And the name of the card is…<br />
'''Renji''': Something.<br />
'''Kaien''': *frustrated* No, you know what? Forget it. Let's just play. }}
* [[Willfully Weak]]: The Espada in the Battle of Karakura arc. According to Ulquiorra and Kira, Talbumosuke wants the Espada to remain in Resurreccion. If they find themselves hard pressed they should flee. [[Word of God]] has confirmed this, saying that this is part of a grand scheme of Talbumosuke’s to gather information on the enemy in battle and then go in with an actual plan with his army at full strength.
