The Devil on G-String: Difference between revisions

* {{spoiler|[[Bittersweet Ending]]: Kyousuke is forced to kill Maou in order to protect Haru's future from the media and goes to jail. He is forced to cut off connections with everyone he has ever known and loved, and is resigned to the fact that Haru will go on to live life without him. It turns out she waited for him all this time and is reunited with her, and their daughter 8 years later, and there is a faint hope that he can patch things up with the rest of his friends now.}}

** {{spoiler|In addition to this, Kyousuke is not 'trapped' like many other ex-convicts who are unable to get a job after being released from prison because he has Gonzou's training and knows how to use money. This means that even after leaving prison, he is still capable of self-employment, and by extension, is still capable of being happy from a pragmatic, materialist standpoint as well as an emotional one.}}

** Kyousuke plays the boke for Eiichi once, but all he can think of as a tsukkomi is a repeated WEAK! that gets dragged out longer and longer.

* [[Breaking the Fourth Wall]]: Usami notes at one point that Kanon looks almost nothing like Gonzou, but she's cute because the character designers designed them all to be that way. Kyousuke interrupts her and they return to the real subject. Though considering it's Usami, she might have just wanted to be silly.

* [[Cloudcuckoolander]]: Haru. She's [[Obfuscating Stupidity|actually]] very observant and intelligent.

** Kanon lives on her own little planet where skating is pretty much the only thing worth doing.

* [[Cool Big Sis]]: Yuki to Haru, though despite initial appearances she actually isn't older. {{spoiler|Also serves as one for Mizuha.}}

* [[Colour-Coded for Your Convenience]]: You can change the color of the text for each of the main characters on the config menu.

* [[Evil Versus Evil]]: Neither Azai nor Maou is exactly a super awesome human being.

* [[Explicit Content]]: Being a [[H-game]], this is to be expected.

** {{spoiler|1=[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uVDqWNqsEAg ''Let me weep my cruel fate, and let me sigh for liberty. May sorrow break these chains of my sufferings, for pity's sake.'']}}

* [[Eyes Never Lie]]: In the sound drama, {{spoiler|which takes place after Kyousuke's arrest from Haru's perspective, the police interrogator dares Kyousuke to look him in the eye and declare "''I do not love Usami Haru.''" After repeating that he had used her, he cries to himself after the interrogator leaves his cell.}}

*** {{spoiler|At the beginning of Haru's Route, it gets to the point that even Kyousuke doubts himself, and becomes dangerously close to actually becoming a second Maou. He even starts to like the idea. When Horibe shows up the next day to kill him, he can visibly see the change on Kyousuke's face.}}

* [[Stage Mom]]: Ikuko.

* {{spoiler|[[Stronger Sibling]]}}: The Devil {{spoiler|is actually Samejima Kyouhei, Kyousuke's older brother.}}

* [[Student Council President]]: Tsubaki, though it's only mentioned in passing and plays even less of a role than her being the class rep. Which basically amounts to an excuse for her to wake Kyousuke up at the beginning of the story despite barely knowing him and serving to show one of the ways she's kind and responsible.

** "You're not planning to pull a 'I waited for class to end as I listened to Eiichi' in your inner monologue, then skip past the whole scene, are you?"

{{quote|'''Kyousuke''': I waited for class to end as I pretended to listen to Eiichi.}}

* [[Utsuge]]: The ending cements this. {{spoiler|Or rather the events leading up to the ending in the epilogue. The ending itself is quite a happy one.}}

* [[Villain Protagonist]]: When you think about it, Kyousuke can't really be considered to be a good guy so much as less of a bad guy in an evil versus evil situation. Lying, extortion, manipulation and more. While he's essentially a decent person the story makes a point of painting him as rather ambiguously gray {{spoiler|until he finally stands up to Gonzou so that Yuki, Usami and Mizuha can escape.}} And the yakuza he represents is actually a particularly vicious group with no concern for honor.
