Line 30:
* [[Adults Are Useless]]: Well, the Sandaime was after doing nothing when Naruto was beaten half to death.
** Also directed at Jiraiya and Kakashi.
* [[AllAny IsTorment WellYou ThatCan EndsWalk WellAway From]]: Clearly averted when {{spoiler|Ghost calls out Sarutobi, Jiraiya, and Kakashi on their chronic neglect towards Naruto as a young child. Ghost even [[Curb Stomp Battle|beats the living crap]] out of Jiraiya WHILE he has Pa attached to his shoulder in Sage Mode.}}
{{quote|"HAHAHAHAHA MOOOOOOOO!"}}
** Partially counter-subverted when {{spoiler|Naruto forgives a "future-savvy" Sarutobi, with healthy helpings of heartwarming and humor. Hilariously so with Naruto and Jiraiya during preparations for the Chunin Exams and Invasion.}}
Line 94:
** Sasuke subverts this during the {{spoiler|Main Branch Coup}}, essentially cementing his immunity to a [[Face Heel Turn]].
** The Oogakari tell them that {{spoiler|they will become sociopaths eventually to deal with the stress of the upcoming war.}}
* [[Back Fromfrom the Dead]]: A given, considering the fic's [[Reset Button]] attributes, but particularly important because {{spoiler|1=those who actually died or were on the verge of death were given one of Ghost's special chain links for each of those times. These chain links restore memories from the past/future. Naruto got FIVE.}}
* [[Back-to-Back Badasses]]: {{spoiler|Naruto, the rest of the Rookie 12, Haku, and Gaara's team during the Chunin Exam Invasion. They proceed to kick a LOT of Oto ass alongside their teachers and allies.}}
** Sasuke and Sakura invoke this when {{spoiler|protecting a civilian family while engaging three Oto Jonin and KABUTO.}}
Line 172:
** Sasuke calls out his [[Playing with Fire|Blaze]] [[Shock and Awe|Edge]] once or twice, but since then has been capable of activating it without prior warning.
** Lampshaded in the {{spoiler|Land of Snow arc}} when Naruto renames the movie upgrade to his Rasengan. Admittedly, it sounds '''much cooler.'''
** No longer an issue for Rock Lee. His [[Training Fromfrom Hell]] has made him so swift that he can deliver double-digit numbers of crippling blows to his opponents in the time it takes to let out a "Konoha Senpu." And this is BEFORE he opens any [[Deadly Upgrade|Celestial Gates.]]
** Subverted almost 100% by the Oogakari. Only Ghost calls a few attacks, because he created those [[Blow You Away|original]] [[Razor Wind|jutsu]] himself, most likely to give to Naruto.
* [[Can't Catch Up]]: Averted for almost everyone that suffered in canon.
Line 252:
** Subverted when Kisame {{spoiler|rips through Naruto's earth walls despite an obvious type advantage and being set on fire by Sasuke's Napalm Flow.}} Also stresses how each Akatsuki is essentially an [[Advancing Boss of Doom]] at this point in time, no matter HOW skilled anyone in the Rookie 12 becomes.
** Used to an interesting and complex extent when Naruto, Hinata, and Hiashi discuss the role of elemental chakra in the Hyuuga's Gentle Fist style. {{spoiler|Hint-'''It won't work on Kisame.'''}}
* [[Elite Mooks]]: During the Chunin Exam Invasion arc, chun, special jounin, and even jounin became this in many, many cases versus the Allied forces, primarily to showcase the prowess of the Rookie 12 and others who [[Took a Level Inin Badass]].
* [[Evasive Fight Thread Episode]]: The one example being the Oogakari {{spoiler|facing off against their respective Curse Sealed opponents in the Chunin Exam Arena.}} Given, the outcome is never really in doubt, considering the actual power gap, but at least ONE of the outmatched warriors, {{spoiler|Longclaw}}, definitely survived that confrontation. The [[Fan Girl|one fighting Scabbard?]] Weeeeeell, not so much.
** Ch. 62 gave us a small summary of what happened from the survivor.
Line 258:
** Since then Naruto's gained {{spoiler|a [[Teen Genius|top-notch tactical mind]] only surpassed by Shikamaru, a far more expansive repertoire of ninjutsu and taijutsu, his [[Impossibly Cool Weapon|Fox Talons]], twin elemental affinities, and the gamebreaking [[Awesome Yet Practical|Seventh Sense]]}}
** Hinata's mistreatment at the hands of the Main Branch effectively did this to her, and Ghost has no qualms about sticking this fact in the clan's face. She's now up there with Naruto, Rock Lee, and Sasuke in terms of sheer [[Badass]].
** Heck, the Oogakari's [[Training Fromfrom Hell]] has been removing the rust from every possible nook and cranny for every single protagonist. Rock Lee and Tenten especially.
* [[Explaining Your Power to the Enemy]]: The Rookie 12 do a lot of this to each other during training and the Chunin Exams, but very little when facing actual antagonists. And if they do, it's invariably far too late.
** Dosu inadvertently does this to Naruto by taking a single swing at Kabuto. Granted, being a [[Peggy Sue]] may have had something to do with it, but it doesn't take away from the intimidation effect it has on the surrounding Chunin hopefuls that aren't part of the Rookie 12.
Line 296:
** Played completely straight with Shadow.
* [[Gentle Giant]]: Waltz. Unless you hit his [[Berserk Button]].
* [[Go Mad Fromfrom the Revelation]]: Scabbard's fangirl phobia. {{spoiler|Comes from studying their minds to find the source of their boundless energy.}}
* [[Gonk]]: Lee and Gai in-universe.
** Partially subverted in that it's only above the neck where they terrify and disturb everyone. Below the neck is [[Sculpted Physique|a whole 'nother story.]]
Line 326:
* [[Henpecked Husband|Hen Pecked Boyfriend]]: {{spoiler|Naurto is officially Hinata's bitch.}}
** Aren't all males who are dating female ninja [[Henpecked Husband|Hen Pecked Boyfriends]]? I distinctly remember Neji musing on this.
* [[Heroic Self-Deprecation]]: Naruto's fully broken free of this trope, but Hinata, despite her latest [[Took a Level Inin Badass|accomplishments]] in her training, becomes weighed down by the thought that she can't protect all of her precious people effectively.
** Naruto, Shikamaru, and the Oogakari have essentially been setting about actively averting this trope to prepare for Madara and the Akatsuki.
* [[Heroic Sociopath]]: Zabuza, Crypt and Shadow, all the way.
Line 341:
Everyone inched away slowly from the boy. "[[Brain Bleach|I'll try not to keep that in mind…]]" Sasuke nervously stated with an eyebrow twitching. }}
** Ghost invokes this when he's taunting {{spoiler|the head of the Main Branch Coup}} with a megaphone.
* [[I Am Not Left-Handed]]: Any action involving the Oogakari runs on this. Hell, Ghost's everyday life actually runs on this, doubling as [[Training Fromfrom Hell]].
** Used often and to awesome effect to showcase a new capability gained by the Rookie 12. The Chunin Exam is chock-full of these.
** Naruto vs {{spoiler|Lee}} in the preliminaries is fueled by this. The other genin are suitably intimidated.
Line 376:
** Scabbard plus a microphone equals this. Even on gear meant for tactical coordination.
* [[Laser-Guided Amnesia]]: Neji can apparently use Gentle Fist to do this, at least to short-term memory.
* [[Law of Disproportionate Response]]: Each of the Rookie Twelve all have nervous breakdowns when something reminds them of their [[Training Fromfrom Hell]], particularly Naruto and Chouji.
** Ghost: {{spoiler|Chinese food and acid-spitting girls.}}
** Scabbard: {{spoiler|Fangirls}}
Line 456:
* [["No Respect" Guy]]: Zig-Zagged. Naruto doesn't get much respect. Of course, that's partially because he's deliberately chosen to walk the path of the [[Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass]] and partially because he's become [[The Chew Toy]].
** After the Land of Snow arc, Naruto's {{spoiler|had high-ranking shinobi recognize him by his desired nickname and has been placed in a very significant spot of the Bingo Books.}}
* [[NoWon't SellWork On Me]]: Any attempt by an in-universe character at intimidation or flat-out physical harm towards an Oogakari will have only one outcome: complete and utter failure. That is, unless one of them thinks it would be funny.
** Ghost's fights are absolutely made of these, as it's virtually impossible to get remotely close to touching him.
** Scabbard is capable of countering anything through [[Awesomeness By Analysis]], {{spoiler|and if he's in direct contact with the ground, say bye-bye to whatever range advantage you had.}}
Line 498:
* [[Rank Up]]: {{spoiler|Almost everybody in the Rookie 12 gets promoted to Chunin in the exams. Only Lee, Neji, Kiba, and Ino failed to promote}}. Definitely helps that they fought like crazy and stacked up some pretty impressive kill counts during Orochimaru's Invasion.
** {{spoiler|Naruto, Shikamaru, and Hinata get a huge bonus in that they all have been set up to some degree by Tsunade to become Special Jonin soon}}.
* [[Redshirt Army]]: Partially averted compared to canon by Naruto and his shadow clones as the boy continues his epic chain of [[Took a Level Inin Badass|taking levels in Badass.]] And if they're getting the Redshirt treatment, they can always {{spoiler|give them the [[Made of Explodium|Itachi treatment.]]}}
** Unless {{spoiler|Lee gets drunk.}} Then it's played completely straight.
** They also go down in droves against really strong opponents like Orochimaru or {{spoiler|Hinata}}.
Line 521:
* [[The Rival]]: Naruto has two now, Sasuke and Hinata.
** Rock Lee is still a strong contender for becoming a third, plus his own rivalry with Neji is still alive and well, and a lot more competitive to boot!.
* [[Sadist Teacher|Sadistic Trainers]] [[Training Fromfrom Hell|From Hell]]: The Oogakari's method of training.
** This particular excerpt sums up Naruto's private sessions rather well, between Scabbard Oogakari and Rika, a Taki Special Jonin.
{{quote|"*Sigh* Which one is it this time?"
Line 532:
** The Oogakari employ this quite a bit, the most notable example being {{spoiler|their reformation of the Hyuuga clan via a far superior alternative to the Caged Bird Seal.}}
** Hiashi himself invokes this, and arguably supports Naruto more actively than any other clan head short of Waltz.
* [[Sealed Inside a Person -Shaped Can]]: Shadow's body is more like a person-shaped sieve than anything else.
* [[Secret Relationship]]: Naruto and Hinata.
** Heck, practically any relationship that springs up relating to the Rookie 12 for obvious reasons.
Line 545:
** Shadow also doesn't seem to have much restraint when her furry fetish is involved.
* [[Shout-Out]]: The Oogakari pretty much break the fourth wall and drop references no one in Konoha gets at will, such as Ghost laughing himself silly over Sasuke being a "natural Sith Lord."
** There are far too many to list completely, but [[Bleach]], [[One Piece]], [[Fate/stay night|Fate Stay/Night]], [[Pokémon (anime)|Pokémon]], [[Family Guy]], [[Fallout]] 3, [[Disgaea]], [[StarcraftStarCraft]] II, [[South Park]], [[Monty Python]], [[The Fairly Odd ParentsOddParents]], [[Les Misérables]], [[Dragon Ball Abridged]], [[Toy Story (franchise)|Toy Story]], [[Twister]], and Cuban Pete are just a brief sampling, and judging by the style of the author as well as the presence of Crypt and Ghost, that repertoire can only grow.
** Ghost's mind-melting massages are probably a [[Shout-Out]] to the [[Peggy Sue]] fic ''Chunin Exam Day.''
* [[Sinister Scythe]]: Crypt's eponymous Third Fang. See [[Vampiric Draining]] below.
Line 572:
Naruto: "I'm a 13 year old boy. Of course I'm going to go overboard with the explosives if I'm capable of doing so." }}
* [[Stupid Evil]]: The fanon civilian council and an evil faction of Hyuuga Elders are present in all their glory. In some cases they count as [[Too Dumb to Live]].
* [[Sunglasses Atat Night]]: Ghost's [[Cool Shades]] {{spoiler|cover that his pupils are sewn shut.}}
* [[Super Reflexes]]: Ghost exemplifies this trope.
** Naruto, Hinata, Rock Lee, and Sasuke all have this in spades, even more so than the rest of the Rookie 12.
Line 592:
** This is particularly evident in any of Naruto's big fights with {{spoiler|Lee, Hinata, or Sasuke.}}
** On the other hand, with Ghost, EVERYTHING he does is a free action, particularly taunting.
** Despite the enemy doing whatever the hell they can, Scabbard does plenty of talking, and there's not a [[NoWon't SellWork On Me|THING]] his opponents can do about it.
* [[Tempting Fate]]: Naruto praying not to have to face Lee in the preliminaries. You know as soon as he thinks it exactly what is going to happen.
{{quote|"Eccentric?" Yugito asked curiously with a raised eyebrow. "Surely a single clan can't be that bad."
Line 638:
* [[Toilet Humor]]: Ghost's Chinese food "allergy."
* [[Too Powerful to Live]]: Seems to be the reason behind the relapses of the Oogakari. Played with in that they're all basically immortal.
* [[Took a Level Inin Badass]]: Every single member of the Konoha 12 gets trained by the clan. Some turn out ''very'' impressive.
** Hana and Anko also get an impressive boost in power—Hana especially.
** Both Tenten and Rock Lee {{spoiler|have this performed quite literally on their bodies by Scabbard and Crypt, respectively. Tenten now has the potential to summon and properly wield practically any weapon in existence to devastating effect. Rock Lee's physical capabilities have skyrocketed. He can now shrug off performing the Primary Lotus, and there's a chance that he could pull off all eight celestial gates '''without dying'''.}}
Line 652:
* [[Trickster Mentor]]: Ghost has turned {{spoiler|[[Panty Thief|panties-jacking]]}} into a training exercise for {{spoiler|Anko, while they were actually ON HER BODY,}} with predictably violent results.
* [[Tropes Are Not Bad]]: Some prominent aspects of the fic could be the hallmark of a terrible wish-fulfillment fic, such as [[God Mode Sue|uber-powerful OCs familiar with the plot of the story]] [[Fix Fic|running around causing trouble]], but Third Fang shows that with enough insanity, comedy, and creativity even normally poisonous fic concepts can be made awesome.
* [[Troubled Fetal Position]]: Common reaction to traumatic memories. (e.g of [[Training Fromfrom Hell]].)
** Ghost plus female acidic [[Breath Weapon]] users equals this.
** Scabbard plus {{spoiler|fangirls}} equals this.
Line 660:
** Even Naruto's '''shadow clones''' find this amusing.
* [[Twin Threesome Fantasy]]: Ghost has a brief [[Imagine Spot]] of this early on with regards to the Hyuuga.
* [[Unnecessarily Large Interior]]: The Oogakari's underground training area, purposefully taken from [[Bleach]]. Unlike for Urahara, though, subverted in that, given [[Training Fromfrom Hell|what happens there]] [[Physical God|on a usual basis]], it's often VERY necessary.
* [[Unstoppable Rage]]: Not too many have been displayed thus far, but the few times it happens more than make up for quantity with quality.
** Naruto uniquely combines his [[Unstoppable Rage]] with [[Tranquil Fury]] during his {{spoiler|his fight with Dotou. He gets so pissed-off enough about getting cold and wet that he swats away Black Dragon Blizzards with his BARE HANDS}}.
Line 700:
* [[Year Inside, Hour Outside]]: Exploited by Kakashi when {{spoiler|he takes advantage of his own Mangekyou when Itachi hits him with Tsukuyomi, using the extra time to converse with the Uchiha prodigy and set up the first defection within the Akatsuki.}}
* [[You Gotta Have Blue Hair]]: Scabbard Oogakari has green hair.
* [[You Have Failed Me...]]: Averted after {{spoiler|members of the Akatsuki, FOUR of them, no less,}} report failure to {{spoiler|Nagato and Konan.}} They get off with a reprimand and new assignments, although {{spoiler|the leader of the Akatsuki}} was understandably shocked and angered by implied details in {{spoiler|Kakuzu's}} message.
* [[You Monster!]]: A very common reaction from any enemy facing down an Oogakari.
** Crypt enthusiastically agrees with this opinion, much to [[Hannibal Lecture|Hinata's discomfort]].
