Line 111:
 
* [[Animation Bump]]: Her flashback episodes (9 and 20) have a significantly higher quality level than the rest of the show.
* [[Back Fromfrom the Dead]] --> [[Disney Death]]
* [[Badass Damsel]]: Despite being pretty much ''{{spoiler|[[Death Trap|dangling from an empty construction crane from several floors above the ground]]}}'' in episode 18, [[Plucky Girl|Himari]] manages not to cry and panic. She is even willing to {{spoiler|''jump to her death'' if it means she can save Kanba and absolve her family from the parents's sins, which actually makes Tabuki change his mind about killing her at the very last moment.}}
* [[Because You Were Nice to Me]] - [[I Owe You My Life]]: To {{spoiler|Shouma}}
Line 257:
* [[Action Girl]]
* [[Actor Allusion]]: In episode 16, she dreams of poisoning {{spoiler|her grandfather}} with [[Fruits Basket|a basket of fruits]] concealing a snake.
* {{spoiler|[[Back Fromfrom the Dead]]}}: Courtesy of {{spoiler|Sanetoshi}} in Episode 23.
* [[Big Damn Heroes]]: Played with in Episode 14. {{spoiler|1=Kanba is surrounded by MIBs and Masako attacks them -- but it turns out that he was with them willingly, getting paid by them for services unspecified.}}
* [[Big Fancy House]]: A black mansion, apparently set in the outskirts of Tokyo
Line 355:
* [[Manipulative Bastard]]: Seems to have his own designs for Himari and her possessor. Even more obvious from episode 12 and then on.
* [[Meaningful Echo]]: He echoes the opening narration in the first episode at the beginning of Episode 12.
* {{spoiler|[[Mind Rape]] / [[More Than Mind Control]]}}: His treatment of {{spoiler|Kanba}} in the first part of episode 23 felt a lot like this, since he {{spoiler|invokes a Survival Strategy to force Kanba to watch how his twin sister Masako dies, before he uses his powers to bring her [[Back Fromfrom the Dead]] ''and'' fully convince Kanba to destroy the world in exchange for Sanetoshi doing the same to Himari.}}
* [[Not So Stoic]]: Finally shows some emotion other than a perpetually serene cheerfulness in the last two episodes.
* {{spoiler|[[Nietzsche Wannabe]]}}: According to his soliloquies in episodes 13 and 23, {{spoiler|the apparently godly powers he shares with Momoka have only served to alienate him from others and depress him, as he believes that he cannot save anywhere near all the people who need help. This eventually led to his epiphany that the world is empty and the only way to change anything is to burn it all down.}}
Line 424:
* {{spoiler|[[Never Found the Body]]: Her lifeless body was never located, and only her Destiny Diary remained.}}
* {{spoiler|1=[[Reality Warper]]/[[Winds of Destiny Change]]: She claims to be able to change the fate of living beings via her Destiny Diary.}}
** {{spoiler|[[Cast Fromfrom Hit Points]]: Momoka explains to Yuri that, whenever she uses her Diary to change someone's destiny, she has to pay a price: suffering bodily harm in exchange for what she wants to do/fix/etc.. To save a bunny from dying, she got a cut on her hand; later, to rescue Yuri from her abusive father, she got severe burns that landed her in the hospital. In fact, when Yuri tried to touch the Destiny Diary, Momoka stopped her from doing so to avoid a possible backlash from hitting her.}}
* [[Red Eyes, Take Warning]]: At times.
* [[Romantic Two-Girl Friendship]]: Her relationship with {{spoiler|Yuri Tokikago}} is an elementary-school version of the trope. {{spoiler|16 years later, [[Broken Bird|Yuri]] [[The Mourning After|is still in love with her]].}}
Line 535:
 
* {{spoiler|[[Beautiful All Along]]: [[The Glasses Come Off|Remove her]] [[Stoic Spectacles]] and [[Letting Her Hair Down|undo her chignon bun]]. [http://imageftw.com/uploads/20111113/renjaku_noglasses.png Why, Miss Renjaku, you're a hottie!]}}
* [[Cry Cute]]: When {{spoiler|Masako wakes up from her coma}}, and then when {{spoiler|she's [[Back Fromfrom the Dead]].}}
* [[Expy]]: Of Anthy from ''[[Revolutionary Girl Utena]]'', both visually and {{spoiler|in terms of [[Hidden Depths]] and [[Beautiful All Along]]}}.
* [[Meido]]
