Line 8:
{{tropelist}}
* [[All There in the Manual]]: Bad news: You have 31 years of catching up to do between ''[[Gate Keepers]]'' and this. Good news: There are some novels and a video game bridging the gap. More bad news: [[No Export for You|None of them are in English.]]
* [[Alternate History]]: It's mentioned that the Invaders were first encountered in 1945. The events that transpire in the first show, as well as the existence of AEGIS, could also count. By 2001 and''Gate Keepers 21''), though, history has more or less become similar to our own, if not worse... {{spoiler|''[[Hopeless War|much worse.]]''}}
* [[Badass Bookworm]]: Ayane Isuzu is quiet, ranked third in the second year level of her high school, spends most of her time reading and sitting in front of her laptop. She is also the leading cause of Invader death by blunt cell phone trauma. She also happens to wear...
** A [[Badass Longcoat]].
Line 15 ⟶ 16:
* [[Blow You Away]]: Ayane's Gate power
* [[BFS]]: Satoka's Gate Power calls forth these.
* [[Body Horror]]: The physical transformation into an Invader.
* [[Bounty Hunter]]: AEGIS employs 'Invader Hunters', who may or may not be Gatekeepers (those who aren't use Imitation Gates) and pays them according to the number of invader crystals they collect.
* [[Buddy Cop Show]]: Ayane and Miu ([[Student and Master Team]] variation).
Line 23 ⟶ 25:
* [[Demonic Invaders]]: The Invaders, natch.
* [[Demonic Possession]]: Any non-Gatekeeper humans who succumb to ''any'' dark emotion open themselves to possession by the Invaders.
* [[Disappeared Dad]]: Shun, {{spoiler|who is revealed, in the novel, to have died fighting the Invaders}}.
* [[The Ditz]]: Miyu
* [[Dude, She's Like, in a Coma]]: Ayane Isuzu is kissed while comatose by [[Big Bad]] [[Stalker with a Crush]] Yuurei Shoujo, while the former's boss and partner watch helplessly.
Line 34 ⟶ 36:
** GAAAYY-TOOOOHH OHHH-PUUUNN!!!
* [[Hammerspace]]: Where Satoka keeps all her [[Pure Energy]] [[Cool Sword|Cool Swords]].
* [[Heel Face Turn]]: Reiji Kageyama, the [[Big Bad]] of the original series, is the head of A.E.G.I.S. in ''Gate Keepers 21''.
* [[Hopeless War]]: {{spoiler|Despite the efforts of AEGIS, the invasion is proceeding nicely (over half of humanity has been subverted at that point), there's no way to actually win, and the very power used to fight the invaders will [[Equivalent Exchange|kill the users. Or worse.]] Ouch.}}
** {{spoiler|The ending, however, has the tables turn in humanity's favor, with most of the Invaders wiped out. Granted it required a [[Reset Button]], and that the remaining ones are still in the open, but still...}}
* [[Hot Chick with a Sword]]: Satoka, depending on your taste, is a hot chick with an ''arsenal'' of swords.
* [[Fundamentally Female Cast]]: The only male characters are a [[Supporting Leader]], the two Dragons, and an [[Inspector Javert]] who doesn't seem to serve any purpose other than [[Padding]].
Line 40 ⟶ 45:
* [[Meganekko]]: Ayane
* [[Mood Whiplash]]: In contrast to the previous anime, don't expect much in the way of bright and happy. They ''really'' made sure that the days of the "original" Gatekeepers were long over.
* [[New Transfer Student]]: Reiji Kageyama, and Satoka Tachikawa.
* [[Number One Dime]]: Ayane's bell. Depending on how her surname is spelled in Kanji, could veer into [[Meaningful Name]] territory, as one spelling of "Isuzu" means 'Dependable Bell'.
* [[Oddly-Named Sequel 2: Electric Boogaloo]]
Line 57 ⟶ 63:
* [[The Stoic]]: Ayane
* [[Strong Family Resemblance]]: Ayane bears a resemblance to her aunt Saemi, Shun's younger sister, except [[Meganekko|she wears glasses]]. Saemi furthermore resembles her mother after growing up.
* [[Television Tie in Novel]]: ''Gatekeepers 1985'', which bridges the gap between ''[[Gate Keepers]]'' and ''GK21.''
* [[Those Two Guys]]: Miyu's friends, Chinami and Nao-chan.
* [[Unknown Rival]]: Tachikawa Satoka spends most of her free time talking to/critiquing/lecturing [[Badass Bookworm]] Isuzu Ayane only to get ignored, or ditched when her back is turned, much to her chagrin.
* [[Unstoppable Rage]]: Gatekeepers who go into an [[Unstoppable Rage]] gain "[[Reverse Polarity|Inverse Gates]]", which do the exact opposite of their original powers. This is deconstructed in ''Gate Keepers 21'' {{spoiler|when the [[Big Bad]], whose normal Gate power is to erase things, gets pissed off when Ayane destroys her [[Soul Jar]]. The last thing she does before fading away is use her Inverse Gate, which causes [[Reset Button|everything to go back the way they were]]. Satoka points out the possibility that in her anger, she forgot that the Inverse Gate does the ''exact opposite'' of the regular gate.}}
* [[The Virus]]: The Invaders.
* [[Vapor Wear]]: Yuurei Shoujo.
