Line 35:
* [[Can't Catch Up]] mild subversion: While it's true that Dai's friends can't catch up with him, if it weren't for them he would have died ''every single time'' he battled one of the six generals.
* [[Cast From Hit Points]] Several techniques work this way, the most notable being Megante, [[Taking You with Me|which consumes all the user's life to turn it into a massive explosion]]. Hyunkel's Grand Cross is a less dangerous form of it; it doesn't kill him, but it renders him extremely exhausted
* [[The Chessmaster]] Hadler and Vearn; so very [[Lampshade|Lampshaded]]d.
* [[Changed My Mind, Kid]] Pop leaves Dai and Maamu when they go fight the big bad Crocodine, then shows up in the nick of time to help when they're in trouble.
* [[Chrome Champion]] the Shinei Kidan are made out of the legendary metal Orihalcon. It turns out it makes them not only [[Made of Shiny]] but also [[Made of Explodium]].
Line 54:
* [[Demoted to Extra]]: Crocodine sadly loses his status as a main character after {{spoiler|Flora asks Leona to join the team as Aban's hypothetical fifth disciple.}}
** Subverted, as he did in fact participate in the final battle against the [[Big Boss]]. His battle abilities fitted his role at the time, which is spectator. Also, Dai and Co. needed to at least grow out of his shadow, having been rescued by him for so many times
* [[The Determinator]] - Everybody on the hero side, main character or not. In fact, taking on almost [[Blood Knight]] levels of determination seems to be a prerequisite for [[Heel Face Turn|Heel Face Turns]]s.
* [[Deus Ex Machina]] - Dai's hidden abilities, though a nice plot arc is eventually made of it.
* [[The Dragon]] Hadler is a textbook example. Turns out, so is {{spoiler|Myst-Vearn}}.
Line 98:
* [[Hoist by His Own Petard]] {{spoiler|Myst-Vearn's end by Hyunkel, whom Myst-Vearn raised to be the ideal host}}
* [[Hopeless Boss Fight]] The first encounter of Dai's group with Demon Lord Vearn turned this way.
* [[Humans Are Bastardsthe Real Monsters]] Played with. Most people and even demons and beasts turn out to be great folks deep inside (sometimes after their [[Heel Face Turn|HeelFaceTurns]]). On the other hand, Baran had such a horrible experience with human beings (save for Soara) that he ended up going on a rampage.
* [[Impossibly Cool Clothes]] - Everybody, but especially the magic armors that Hyunkel has.
* [[Infant Immortality]] Dai was found as a baby in a classic baby Moses cradle on the sea.
* [[Jerkass Facade]] Hyunkel and Baran want you to know they're ''macho''. In Baran's case, paired with a [[Defrosting Ice Queen]] process.
* [[Kamehame Hadoken]] There is a fair share of techniques that work this way, including Crocodine and Baran's [[Finishing Move|Finishing Moves]]s
* [[Kid Hero]]: the main characters
* [[Killed Off for Real]] {{spoiler|Baran}} and his team {{spoiler|except Laharlt, who returns for the final battle arc}}; {{spoiler|Hadler}} and his team {{spoiler|except Hym, who's believed to inherit Hadler's soul}}.
Line 120:
* [[Moral Myopia]]: Galdandy of [[Quirky Miniboss Squad|Baran's Dragon Riders]] is as ruthless of a monster as you can expect from the villains. He probably wouldn't care about killing someone close to you, [[Berserker Tears|but]] [[Unstoppable Rage|kill]] [[Morality Pet|his dragon]] [[What Measure Is a Mook?|Ruudo]], you're dead... and[[Discussed Trope|pointing out how many people the dragon has killed]] will not help your case, Pop.
* [[Moses in the Bulrushes]] - both Dai and Hyunkel
* [[Nakama]] the disciples of Aban -- DaiAban—Dai, Pop, Maamu and Hyunkel -- plusHyunkel—plus Crocodine and Leona.
* [[Obfuscating Stupidity]] Aban is a strange mixture of this and [[Cloudcuckoolander|CloudCuckoolanderism]]. The proportion of both is [[Alternate Character Interpretation|up for debate]].
* [[Oblivious to Love]]: Maamu is completely oblivious to Pop's feelings for her, while Pop doesn't realize that Merle has been in love with him since they first met. Meanwhile, their friends sigh and facepalm.
