Line 47:
** {{spoiler|Confirmed, as of chapter 44 of Mass Vexations 2.}}
* [[Cardboard Prison]]: {{spoiler|Patrick}} breaks out of capture so quickly and easily AND manages to get his hands on so much stuff that one has to wonder whether or not he had inside help. [[The Guards Must Be Crazy|However...]]
* [[Cast
* [[Casual Danger Dialogue]]: Selena and Calill have a conversation about boys while attacked by beast laguz. One has to wonder if the author has any psychological dislike or distrust of his gender with how much male bashing is done in the story.
* [[Celibate Hero]]: John has traces of it, although this is more based on the fact that he fears he may still be drawn back into his own world - thus leaving the object of his affection alone - than it is an aversion to romance. After he comes to terms with the fact that he's probably not going back to his own world, he becomes a bit more like a mild case of [[Chaste Hero]] instead.
Line 53:
* [[Chekhov's Gun]]: The 'chocolate cake' bit from when John first runs into Karla comes in handy {{spoiler|when Karel shows up}}.
* [[Chick Magnet]]: Arguable, depending on how you interpret the girls' friendships with John.
* [[
* [[Curb Stomp Battle]]: Poor John finds himself on the losing end of these frequently...
* [[Cute Bruiser]]: Karla qualifies in the rare example she uses a blade. Jill also qualified as one {{spoiler|before she died, although her dream self seems to continue this theme.}}
Line 121:
'''Jill''': A... light bulb?
'''John''': Three! Two to fight over who's going to do it and one to bark orders! }}
* [[Loads and Loads of Characters]]: This is Fire Emblem, after all. Not to mention that aside from the standard Path of Radiance cast, there's [[Canon Foreigner|other Fire Emblem characters]] such as [[Fire Emblem|Selena, Karla, Cormag, Linde, Nino...]] just to name a few as well as [[Soul Series|Carin {{spoiler|who is actually Cassandra Alexandra}}]] and [[Mass Vexations|Ash]]. There are also some original characters, such as Gabriella, Phoenix Apollo Irving, Katrina... and so on. Many characters are introduced, given seeming importance, then [[Put on a Bus]] until convenient. That's just the story characters, too.
* [[Magic A Is Magic A]]: Exposited on a lot when John is learning how to use magic. {{spoiler|Later results in a [[Crowning Moment of Funny]] when John uses fire, lighting, and wind magics in one spell and gets reprimanded by the other mages in the army in a [[Training
* [[Marshmallow Hell]]: Happens at least once to poor [[Chaste Hero|John]]. Subverted, however, as the act was performed by Mia, and it was really more a result of the girl's [[Genki Girl|unbridled enthusiasm and obliviousness to John's pleas to let go]] rather than her chest size.
* [[Master of None]]: John is able to use Anima, Dark and Light magic, something that has only been seen a couple times in the Fire Emblem games. (Specifically Athos, a [[Eleventh-Hour Superpower|very strong]] but [[Crutch Character|fully leveled]] [[Eleventh-Hour Ranger]] character from Fire Emblem 7 and [[Cute Shotaro Boy|Ewan]] from Fire Emblem 8 as a [[Fan Nickname|Super]][[Magikarp Power|Pupil]], a [[Bragging Rights Reward]] [[Prestige Class|promotion]] only unlocked during a [[New Game+|third playthrough and onward]].) However, while he has great potential, John has a great deal of trouble applying it. This leaves him frequently overshadowed by more specialized spellcasters like Selena.
Line 159:
* [[Ship Tease]]: Happens rather frequently, often without the author's intent. However, given [[Heartbroken Badass|John's]] [[Celibate Hero|nature]], it'd take some doing to make something out of it.
* [[Shout-Out]]: Quite a few.
** As he becomes a more proficient mage, John names his custom-built spells after certain special attacks. Some of his spells? [[Naruto|Rasengan]], [[Pokémon|Tri Attack]], and [[Tales of Symphonia|Indignation Judgement]].
** An entire chapter is also an homage to the first Christmas of World War 1, in which soldiers on both sides of the battlefield engaged in one big, happy Christmas.
*** And during that chapter, John finds out that Canas' last name is [[Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World|Lualdi]].
Line 181:
{{quote|'''John''': That. Is. AWESOME! (chapter 19... at the magic breakfast he got.)}}
** Note, though, that it never seems to work that well whenever John tries to invoke the trope by name...
* [[Took a Level
* [[Training
** This seems to have gone [[Up to Eleven]] since Radiant Dawn started
** John seems to have taken after Selena's pushiness and Shinon's tactics when apprenticing poor Leonardo.
Line 189:
** It seems Patrick and John are heading in this direction considering Patrick seems to be of a higher status in the Begnion army and John seems to be right-hand man to Micaiah in Sothe's place.
* [[Tsundere]]: Jill alternates between beating John up, admitting he's cool to talk to, insults him, becomes a good friend, {{spoiler|kills him}}, then {{spoiler|ends up dating him}}. All over the place, that one is.
* [[Two Aliases, One Character]]: {{spoiler|Jay/Jill}}
* [[Unfortunate Name]]: Jay's ''REAL'' name is [[Wiki Words|LisaMarie]] Pheobe. Really. {{spoiler|It's also Jill Fizzart, but she's not embarrassed about that one.}}
* [[Unresolved Sexual Tension]]: Between John and Jill. {{spoiler|It seems to be acted on when she starts dating him, but alas, [[Anyone Can Die|Ashnard killed her.]]}}
Line 206:
