Kagerou: Difference between revisions

* [[Attempted Rape]]: Red usually gets away with it, {{spoiler|but Kano distracted him just once... long enough for his victim to steal his gun.}}

** He attempts it again {{spoiler|on Fuuka}}. He's foiled again {{spoiler|by Kano}}. Violently.

* [[Badass]]: Quite a few. Perhaps [http://www.electric-manga.com/48/08.html Starless] has the attitude down best.

* [[Badass Longcoat]]: Red is quite pleased when he finds one stashed in Cho's closet. Despite expressing disdain for said coat, Kano has yet to get rid of it.

* [[Badass Normal]]: Originally Cho, whose ''Imma punch you to death'' methods made her an equal fighter with all her comrades with God-given weapons. Now she can punch [http://www.electric-manga.com/48/14.html even harder] and just fits the [[Badass|Super]] [[Super-Trope|Trope]].

* [[Beware the Nice Ones]]: Kano, if you're unlucky enough to get him angry.

* [[Big Bad]]: Kuroyama, Tcaolin, and Red are all vying for this position.

* [[Dead Little Sister]]: {{spoiler|Nadia, who was about a year younger than Kano}}.

* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: Kano does it best, when he's not being [[Snark Bait]].

* [[Deity of Human Origin]]: Tcaolin.

* [[Deliberately Monochrome]]: Gray World is, um, [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|gray]]. Utilizes [[Splash of Color]], see below.

* [[Good Wings, Evil Wings]]: Dark was meant to be a sort of guardian angel/older brother to Kid, and had fluffy red wings. When the functioning disorder of Kano's [[Mental World]] was disrupted, they rotted off and were replaced by wings basically made of darkness, or as the author says "pure oh shit run away." When they show up, [[Oh Crap|you're in trouble.]]

* [[Gorn]]: The author actually apologizes when things get especially bloody, claiming to dislike all the blood. Given how often and how copious the bleeding is, however, [[Lying Creator|this is most likely bullshit.]]

* [[Green Eyed Red Head]]: Kano, normally. Whether or not that's his natural eye color is sort of [[Shrug of God|muddled]], but the [[Fiery Redhead|fire imagery]] of the hair is [[Word of God|definitely]] intentional, though Kano [[Inverted Trope|cannot usually be described as passionate]].

* [[Hair Color Dissonance]]: [[Word of God]] is that [http://www.formspring.me/antiFAQ/q/180154322204531323 Tonbo's hair is actually black], but it's portrayed as purple for Tonbo and green for Fuuka for the comic, and it has to do with how Tonbo sees herself.

* [[Nightmare Fuel Station Attendant]]: Dark appears to be fond of introducing himself by [[Neural Implanting|implanting]] traumatic memories in people's minds. When they come to screaming, he will smile blankly.<ref>When asked to describe Dark's idea of a romantic date, the author said, "He takes you to see his morgue, then you go away. May involve exchange of traumatic flashbacks via psychic interface and/or [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking|flowers."]]</ref>

* [[No-Holds-Barred Beatdown]]: {{spoiler|Kano's [[Unstoppable Rage]] moment, which manages to instill a strange mixture of triumph and pure horror in readers.}}

* [[Obfuscating Stupidity]]: Dee's childish quirks mask the true expanse of her insight and power, which are vast.

{{quote|'''Tcaolin:''' Little Dee, playing the madwoman and laughing at everyone from behind her veil.}}

* [[Pals with Jesus]]: Dee is positively tickled by the occasional chat and it's not unusual for the gods to stop by and chat.

* [[Perpetual Molt]]: Originally [[Inverted Trope|seems to be the case]] with Dark's wings in a flashback, but it [[Justified Trope|turns out]] they were [[Evil Makeover|rotting off entirely]] at the time.

* [[Poisoned Weapons]]: The enemy's weapons, sometimes. Notable is a later incident with poison darts. Oh, and [[Blind Seer|Dee]]'s [[Femme Fatalons|nails]].

* [[Power At a Price]]: Kano's [[Psychic Powers]] seem to have damaged his mind to the point of being completely unable to use them, [[Hallucinations|plus other drawbacks]].

* [[Prophet Eyes]]: {{spoiler|Dark}}'s [[Monochromatic Eyes]] (above) can be considered an example, since he may be more or less omniscient.

* [[Punny Name]]: Dali-Dalai. He is most commonly referred to simply as "Dali." Don't get it? Try saying it out loud. Still don't get it? {{spoiler|It's a homophone of [[Don't Explain the Joke|"dolly."]] }}

* [[Stripperiffic]]: Cho, who usually claims skimpy clothes are better for fighting in... but does eventually admit she wears it just because she can. Her half-sister Moko also [http://www.electric-manga.com/29/15.html mocks her for it].

* [[Summon Everyman Hero]]: The premise is a deconstruction of this trope. Not only is Kano a ''breathtakingly'' screwed-up hero, the summoning process itself has been used for a long time to enable a deeply unpleasant sacrifice.

* [[Surreal Horror]]: Expect to say "What the hell is happening and ''why is it so creepy?''" a lot. The swarms of shadowy dragonflies are particularly memorable in this regard.

* [[Surrounded by Idiots]]: Cho isn't super cagey about expressing her exasperation with the team she's been saddled with.

* [[Technicolor Eyes]]: Kano's eyes are [[Green Eyes|green]], Kid's are [[Blue Eyes|blue]] and Red's are.... [[Red Eyes, Take Warning|red]]. Both Kano's and Kid's eyes eventually change to orange, though, after {{spoiler|beating the tar out of Red }} and [[Word of God]] is this is to signify {{spoiler|that both Kano and Kid have "[http://www.formspring.me/antiFAQ/q/180153615825008203 taken on a bit of Red]".}}

* [[Token Evil Teammate]]: {{spoiler|Before becoming the [[Enemy Without]]}} Red fits this trope very well, ducking in to make a snide comment (or press Kano on a harsh decision) or to get Cho and Kano out of trouble (note: snark and saving intermingle) before flitting away.

* [[Transsexualism]]: Heyoka is genderqueer. Again, played very realistically, as the author is genderqueer as well. In Heyoka's case, she got put in a mental hospital by her parents for it. Fortunately, the staff at the hospital seem very friendly and are fine with letting her right back out. (Though she does dress considerably more masculine for her release hearing...)

* [[Trapped in Another World]]: Kano in the Gray World.

* [[Trauma-Induced Amnesia]]: Kano has it, though it's unclear how extensive it is. It's confirmed that he doesn't know who {{spoiler|Nadia}} is, despite {{spoiler|her being his sister.}}

* [[The Undead]]: Zombies attack the heroes when [[Physical God|the Gods]] start to [[The Plague|lose their grip]] [[The Virus|on things]]. Kano is surprised that they are really there, as he frequently [[Hallucinations|hallucinates]] that corpses are attacking him (he tries to discreetly shoo the visions away). Ghosts are some of the many residents of Kano's head, though whether they are real souls or [[Our Ghosts Are Different|just impressions]] is unclear. Either way, they're equally creepy.

* [[Unexplained Recovery]]: This trope is not a true definition of Kano's death-and-revival, but he invokes it later to explain.

{{quote|'''Kano:''' {{color|#348017|I think I died over there one time.}}

'''Kano:''' {{color|#348017|...I got better.}} }}

* [[The Un-Reveal]]: [[Word of God]] is that [http://www.formspring.me/antiFAQ/q/186004839170348445 we'll never clearly see what Red looked like in life] because it's [[Nothing Is Scarier|scarier for the audience to fill in what he looked like for themselves]], and he was a relatively normal looking guy.
