Line 106:
* [[Eating the Eye Candy]]: The Forgotten Dream endings have Sayori able to remember only some small detail of the guy - his hair, his eyes, etc. - and her feelings for him.
* [[Economy Cast]]
* [[Eek! aA Mouse!]]: Sayori and Hatsuhime both agree that mice, cockroaches, spiderwebs, and other such nasties are abhorrent.
* [[Enemy Mine]]: Ittosai was a former adversary to Yo, Jin, and Bo. ''Especially'' Jin.
* [[Epunymous Title]]: "Yojinbo" (more commonly romanized as "yojimbo") is a Japanese word meaning "bodyguard." The three main characters are called Yo, Jin, and Bo. The official English title is "Yo-Jin-Bo: [[Department of Redundancy Department|the Bodyguards]]," making it a combination of this and [[You Are the Translated Foreign Word]].
Line 185:
* [[Hurricane Kick]]: Yo's special attack, Whirlwind Revolution Kick. So fast it can remove body parts.
* [[Hurricane of Puns]]: Often.
* [[Hurt /Comfort Fic]]: ''In-game!'' Ittosai's endings have a little voice pop up in the back of Sayori's mind asking her if she doesn't want to help heal his troubled heart.
* [[I Choose to Stay]]: The Good endings. {{spoiler|Like you didn't see that coming.}} Additionally, in Muneshige and Ittosai's Good endings, {{spoiler|Hatsuhime is thrilled to be able to stay in the modern era, which she has been enjoying immensely while inhabiting Sayori's body.}}
* [[Idiot Hair]]: Bo's hair is sleek and well-behaved, except for one strand that hangs in his face. It doesn't have anything to do with his intelligence, though.
Line 280:
* [[Post-Kiss Catatonia]]: To help his "motivation", Sayori gives Ittosai a kiss on the cheek. It has the humorous effect of turning not only the recipient into a "moaning zombie", but ''the other guys present as well''.
* [[The Power of Love]]: is capable of bending the puny space-time continuum to its will!
* [[The Power of Trust]]: Key to [[Defrosting Ice Queen|defrosting]] Ittosai.
* [[Power Trio]]: Yo, Jin, Bo. Who'd you expect?
* [[Pretty in Mink]]: Ittosai's jacket has a fur trim.
Line 308:
* [[Say My Name]]: Ittosai's Bad ending is called "Call My Name" for this exact reason.
* [[Scenery Censor]]: During the hot springs scene, the four guys who ''don't'' wear [[Modesty Towel|Modesty Towels]] have their naughty bits hidden from camera view by bowls, stray not-so-naughty body parts, or convenient camera angles.
* [[SchrodingerSchrödinger's Butterfly]]: Referenced. Sayori once says that Hatsuhime's timeline felt more real to her than her own.
* [[SchrodingerSchrödinger's Gun]]: The exact natures of both Harumoto's plot and the power that brought Sayori to the past vary depending on which ending you get. Furthermore, Ittosai {{spoiler|becoming [[The Mole]] for Kasumimaru only seems to happen in his and Bo's paths}}.
* [[School Uniforms Are the New Black]]: Thanks to [[Economy Cast|economy art]], Sayori's sprites show her in her school uniform even when she's taking a shower.
* [[Security Cling]]: Happens a couple times.
Line 319:
** Kasumimaru is capable of electrifying his sword. He uses it against Ittosai. {{spoiler|In Yo's Good ending, Hatsuhime delivers an electric shock from inside the pendant to snap Yo out of his zombie-like state.}}
** Ittosai himself also gets sparks around himself when using his special attack, Bare Blade Indiscriminate Slaughter. Nobumasa's attack is called Tiger's Roar Electric Shock. However, neither seems to actually cause electrocution to the victim of the attack.
* [[Shout-Out]]: To ''everything''. ''[[Star Wars]]'', ''[[Star Trek]]'', ''[[Pokémon (anime)|Pokémon]]'', ''[[Superfriends]]'', ''[[Back to the Future (film)|Back to The Future]]'', ''[[Men in Black (film)|Men in Black]]'', ''[[Mad Max]]'', ''[[Con Air]]'', ''[[Howl's Moving Castle (anime)|Howl's Moving Castle]]'', [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KmtzQCSh6xk the Numa Numa song], [http://www.hampsterdance.com/classics/originaldance.htm the hamster dance website], "[[Hansel and Gretel]]", [[Mr. T]], ''[[A Dog of Flanders]]'', ''[[Dragonball Z]]'', ''[[Lord of the Rings]]'', ''[[Toy Story (franchise)|Toy Story]]'', ''[[Peter Pan]]'', ''[[The Flying Nun]]'', [[Game Show|Game Shows]], ''[[Stargate]]'', ''[[Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within|Final Fantasy the Spirits Within]]''... not to mention more expected things, like Japanese historical figures [[wikipedia:Abe no Seimei|Abe no Seimei]], [[wikipedia:Minamoto no Yoshitsune|Minamoto Yoshitsune]], and [[wikipedia:Nobunaga Oda|Nobunaga Oda]].
* [["Shut Up" Kiss]]: In Jin's Good ending, {{spoiler|Jin does this when Sayori says she's not as pretty as Hatsuhime.}}
* [[Single-Stroke Battle]]: Occasionally. A particularly notable example occurs when {{spoiler|Ittosai faces down Kasumimaru. The other guys have to spend a bit of time defending and getting their bearings after Kasumimaru's spell blinds them, but Ittosai, still partly in the throes of a [[Heroic BSOD]] anyhow, isn't fazed for a moment.}}
Line 351:
* [[Take My Hand]]: Used several times, as Hatsuhime is a great deal slower than the guys. {{spoiler|Happens on top of the watchtower quite a bit, too.}}
* [[Take That]]: A few, including a gentle one that involves a [[Lampshade Hanging]].
{{quote|'''Monzan:''' "They said, 'Oh, all I want is a gentle man," but what they're really after is some [[Bishounen|frouffy]] [[Defrosting Ice Queen|ice queen]] or a [[All Girls Want Bad Boys|glasses-wearing sociopath]]."
'''[[Defrosting Ice Queen|Bo]]''' '''[[Bishounen|and]]''' '''[[All Girls Want Bad Boys|Ittosai]]:''' What did you say? }}
* [[Taking the Bullet]]: Mon-Mon does this with kunai in one scene. {{spoiler|[[Bulletproof Vest|He was wearing chain mail.]]}} Yo does this with real bullets in another. {{spoiler|He gets better.}} And Bo puts himself in front of Nobumasa's spear if you make the worst choice on the last day, not that it helps anything.
Line 371:
* [[Too Slow]]: Yo's response to Nobumasa attempting to skewer him. Also, Ittosai to Harumoto when the latter {{spoiler|tries to hit him with that [[Mushroom Samba|Western hallucinogen]].}}
* [[Trademark Favorite Food]]: Hatsuhime loves mango pudding.
* [[Training Fromfrom Hell]]: Ittosai {{spoiler|considers his father "a demon" for the training he put him through.}} And in Yo's Good ending, {{spoiler|when Sayori says she wants to become a ninja like him, Yo warns her that the training is very difficult. This doesn't seem to dampen her spirits in the least.}}
* [[Troubled but Cute]]: Ittosai.
* [[True Companions]]: At the start of the game, Yo, Jin, Bo, and Mon-Mon. By the end of the game, all six guys plus you.
