Line 294:
* [[Informed Flaw]]: Keiichi's [[Unlucky Everydude]] status as a 'loser' seems greatly exaggerated by modern standards, aside from bad luck with women and oftentimes being a doormat.
** It should be noted that he's shown courage and fortitude on several occasions, such as when Belldandy was kidnapped in the Dream Castle arc, or when he faced down Hild in the Lind arc. And yet he can't say a simple "I Love You" to Belldandy (not without [[Stop Helping Me!|too much help]] from third parties, that is...)
* [[Innocent Cohabitation]] (Although most fans {{[[[Shipper on Deck]] |and a few characters}}]] wished it wasn't so innocent between Keiichi and Belldandy.)
* [[Instant Illness]]: In the OVA, when Keiichi brings Belldandy to the abandoned temple, he gets a fever and faints immediately.
* [[Instant Runes]]: Particularly obvious, in [[The Movie]].
Line 311:
** Keiichi has all of three outfits: his jeans, white t-shirt, and leather jacket; His racing gear; and that green and yellow striped suit.
*** He has another outfit in the movie.
*** Hilariously, when one of those Love Potions caused Skuld to be infatuated with him, she spoke adoringly of "Aah, that face, rigid with alarm! Aah, these clothes you never change!"
* [[Long Runner]]: As of November 2011, it's been twenty-three years. The American version produced by Dark Horse Comics, which debuted in 1995, is their second-longest-running comic ([[Usagi Yojimbo]] is the longest), and America's longest-running manga, '''period'''. However, this accolade seems a little less deserved when you consider that ''Oh My Goddess!'' is a monthly series, and not a weekly one like the previous US manga record-holder, [[Ranma ½]].
* [[Love Epiphany]]: Two examples. Skuld begins to develop feelings for Keiichi in the last episode of Season 1. Sayoko also begins to realize her feelings for him as well in episode 2 of Season 2.
Line 316 ⟶ 317:
* [[Love-Obstructing Parents]]: Urd and Skuld, probably manga's [[Ur Example|Ur Examples]] of the "overly enthusiastic" and "utterly opposed" versions, respectively. In the TV series, Urd is actually fairly low-key, only rarely trying to push Keiichi and Belldandy together, while Skuld is much more active about running interference.
* [[Love Potion]]: In an early chapter Urd brews one with the intent of tricking Keiichi into taking it to speed along his relationship. She ends up accidentally swallowing it. (The whole chapter brings some [[Fridge Horror]] since the love potion was essentially a date-rape drug that might have made Keiichi try to force himself on Belldandy...)
** There've been plenty of others; see the entry for Brother-Sister Incest above. And Urd once messed with Peorth's head by pretending another accidentally-swallowed potion had made her fall in love -- with Peorth.
* [[Magical Girlfriend]]: Belldandy definitely in the OVA, early manga, and most of the first season of the TV series. Elsewhere, it depends on your definition of "girlfriend".
** Skuld eventually becomes a puppy version of this trope to Sentaro. He doesn't seem to be aware of her true nature tough.
Line 353 ⟶ 355:
* [[Older Than They Look]]: [http://www.mangareader.net/161-10614-1/ah-my-goddess/chapter-147.html This] is Keiichi's mother Takano. This is '''not''' a flashback; it's her current appearance. Does she look old enough to have college-age children? Her husband looks '''his''' age (if not perhaps older than his age).
** Keima was pointed out to appear to be a little too old to be Hotaru-no-suke's son in Colors' encyclopedia. It's also noted that there is mystery surrounding both of their appearances that probably ties in with some the bigger mysteries and main themes of the series.
* [[Oh Crap]]: Done by everyone (<s>save the Almighty One</s> <s>and Hild</s>) at least once.
** Hild gets a rapid series of these when [http://img196.imageshack.us/img196/1578/hildohcrap1.jpg Belldandy] [http://img13.imageshack.us/img13/7600/hildohcrap2.jpg asks] [http://www.mangareader.net/161-10647-22/ah-my-goddess/chapter-180.html a favor]. Her expression when she pops out from beneath the manhole cover is especially funny on the queen of demons.
** Even the Almighty isn't immune -- he was {{spoiler|wearing Gate's body}}, and Keiichi saw through the deception. Cue sudden expression of shock, '''fumbling''' attempt to shore up the lie, and K1 demanding the truth. Before admitting it, the Almighty remarked, "You're a formidable man yourself." Belldandy '''hadn't''' spotted it.
* [[Omake]]: "The Adventures of the Mini-Goddesses", featuring everyone super deformed, abusing Gan-chan the rat. Spawned its own series of anime shorts.
* [[One-Winged Angel]]: {{spoiler|Lind's angels Cool Mint and Spearmint literally only have one wing each. Averted in that both don't exhibit the typical traits of the trope due to being actual angels}}.
