Ah! My Goddess: Difference between revisions

** More accurately, Urd ''could'' be. Skuld's still too young and inexperienced to be a Goddess 1st Class yet. Urd's actually passed the promotion exam, but decided to stay at 2nd Class because she thinks the ability to lie is more useful than some extra firepower.

** It should also be noted that in the OVA and anime's first season, although the Trope still applies to Belldandy, [[Character Development|she does dance around the truth a couple times]], such as the time she tried to get back to Keiichi's house via the girl's bathroom:

''(Bell licks her finger and tries to scratch out a stain on the mirror)'' }}

* [[Can't Hold Her Liquor]]: Averted for Urd, for whom it's a power source. [[Never Gets Drunk|Super-averted]] for Belldandy. Just keep ''her'' away from the soda.

* [[Clingy Jealous Girl]]: Belldandy, though what sets her off varies, and usually Keiichi explaining that something isn't what it looks like is enough to calm her down. After all, she trusts Keiichi fully, and Keiichi is not the kind of a jerk to hit on other girls.

** When the GATE TO HEAVEN asks Belldandy to continue [[What Is This Thing You Call Love?|teaching her about love]], even though she had promised to help, she refused.

'''Belldandy:''' Yes, when it comes to Keiichi, I am not so generous. }}

** Skuld displays this trope towards Belldandy from time to time.

** There's an explicit Shout Out to the ''[[Thunderbirds]]'' in a manga issue when a species of sentient machines has a problem resembling the premier episode "Trapped in the Sky." Keiichi actually tells Belldandy that he asked himself "What would the Thunderbirds do?" and his (successful) solution imitates theirs as best he can improvise.

** There's also a Shout Out to ''[[Maison Ikkoku]]'' when Keiichi's mother visits for the first time. One of her guesses as to why Keiichi is living with a lot of women:

'''Keiichi:''' What kind of story is that? }}

** Urd was recently shown changing the TV's channel -- to ''[[Keroro Gunsou]]''.

** When Troubadour (voiced by [[Dan Green]]) shows up, he gets jealous of Keiichi and [[Yu-Gi-Oh!|challenges him to a duel]].

** The first episode has one spouted by Tamiya when he repairs a random bystander's bike.

** When asked by Skuld why she wore such an uncool red mask, Morkulaffi answered that they got intel that wearing red masks and helmets made you [[Mobile Suit Gundam|three times faster]].

* [[Silk Hiding Steel]]: Lind, the polite and proper ''Valkyrie'' that works for the Almighty.

** Sayoko may also qualify; in the earliest chapters of the manga, she tried to get Keiichi into her hooks, solely to prove her superiority over Belldandy. She not only settled down; when she finally had Keiichi wrapped around her little finger later in the series, what does she do? ''She returns the sweater Belldandy made for Keiichi'' (which she stole to keep Belldandy preoccupied) ''and tells him to wear it home.'' Without actually telling him she stole it, of course.

* [[Two Scenes, One Dialogue]]: One chapter has something along the lines of:

(cut to Hild, on Earth)<br />

Hild:'' ... "the greatest Daimaikaichou ever!" I'm sure that's what she's saying right now.'' }}

* "[[Years Too Early]]": Urd says Skuld is a hundred years too early to call an angel (and, by implication, defeat her), and in a later episode, Mara says that the demons guarding the [[Sealed Evil in a Can]] are a thousand years too early to fight her. Oddly enough, a ''mortal'' trumps them both-- Sayoko wins a drinking contest early in manga Chapter 44, and says to the passed-out loser, "You're one-point-two million years too early to drink this lady under the table, pal!" Naturally, she passes out-- [[Ship Tease|in Keiichi's arms, no less]]-- later in the chapter, after a drunken misadventure or two.

* [[You Cannot Grasp the True Form]] - The form of the goddesses and demons on Earth are not their real forms, and they can take on any form they want according to the demon in chapter 267. When she tries to reveal her true form to Keiichi, it shows up as an [[Eldritch Abomination]] type of being and he almost loses his mind.

* [[Your Mind Makes It Real]]: When Hagall [[Master of Illusion|projects an illusion]] into her opponent's mind, it becomes real to them.
