Line 41:
** {{spoiler|Though it turns out they’re perfectly fine and Hisana snaps out of it after almost being [[Driven to Suicide]]}}
* {{spoiler|[[Knight Templar Big Brother|Knight Templar Big Sister]]}}.
* [[Lady of War]]: Hisana is very graceful in battle, much like her husband compared to others like Unohana [[Combat Pragmatist|Kendra and Yolanda]] and [[Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass|Naomi]].
* {{spoiler|[[Mama Bear]]}}: If she’s {{spoiler|a [[Knight Templar Big Brother]] towards Rukia}} you can expect she’ll be like this {{spoiler|towards her children}}.
** Oh she is. Just ask {{spoiler|Kaze no Irokoe}}
* {{spoiler|[[Musical Assassin]]}}
* {{spoiler|[[Ominous Latin Chanting]]: Is heard in-universe when Hisana activates her Bankai's ultimate form. If her opponent is considerably weak the music persists even after the transformation is complete}}.
* {{spoiler|[[One -Winged Angel]]: Her Bankai's ultimate form}}
* {{spoiler|[[Power Gives You Wings]]: In Bankai}}
* {{spoiler|[[Red Eyes Take Warning]]: When using her Bankai's ultimate form. The eyes on the bird hood she wears turn red}}.
Line 53:
* [[Stay in The Kitchen]]: Inverted with a literal use. Kaien actually tells Hisana to come out of the kitchen because [[Feminine Women Can Cook|she spends so much time in there]]. Surprisingly Hisana enjoys it.
** Subverted in the Reapers and Heralds arc. Shunsui tells her she should be more concerned with {{spoiler|her children}} than fighting, but Hisana disagrees and explicitly states her reasons and the subject is dropped.
* {{spoiler|[[Theme Music Power -Up]]: Her Bankai can do this in the form of [[Ominous Latin Chanting]] '''''in-universe'''''}}.
** {{spoiler|She also apparently has a technique that powers up her allies. Once again the music is heard in-universe}}.
* [[Third Times the Charm]]: {{spoiler|When using the technique that activates her Bankai's [[Super Mode]] it works for the first time on the third try}}.
* [[Tribal Face Paint]]: Gets this with {{spoiler|her bankai}}.
* [[Whip It Good]]: The shikai of her Zanpakuto.
* [[Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?]]?: Hisana hates bugs. So naturally, during {{spoiler|the Karakura Arc, she fights an arrancar with an insect theme.}}
* [[Yamato Nadeshiko]]: Byakuya even calls her this.
 
Line 122:
* [[Insult Backfire]]: [[Dumb Muscle|Yammy]] is so [[The Ditz|stupid]] that Hitsugaya's diverse vocabulary proves ineffective when using an insult to tick him off.
* [[I Shall Taunt You]]: Uses this as a tactic to get Yammy to fire a cero so Ukitake can deflect it right back.
* [[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero]]: His plan to have Ukitake cero Yammy in the face knocks the big guy down, only for him to go into his enraged form.
 
=== Momo Hinamori ===
Line 133:
* {{spoiler|[[Expository Hairstyle Change]]: After becoming [[Darker and Edgier]] Momo removes the bun from her hair and just lets her hair flow down around her shoulders}}.
* {{spoiler|[[Friend or Idol Decision]]: [[Zig Zagged]] all over the place. Lelouch is the friend. Aizen is the idol. At first it looks like Lelouch has Momo on his side, but this subverted when Momo doesn't know who to choose after [[The Stations of the Canon|Aizen fakes his death]] and doesn't believe if Aizen is really evil. Of course, once Aizen is revealed to be alive after all, Momo [[Go Mad From the Revelation|loses it]] and fights Aizen when she sees him Central Forty Six}}.
* {{spoiler|[[Get a Hold of Yourself, Man!]]: Delivered this to Lelouch when he is sleep deprived in planing the downfall of Central Forty-Six and [[Attempted Rape|was about to rape her]].}}
* {{spoiler|[[Go Mad From the Revelation]]: Despite Lelouch's plans this happened to her anyway. At least she didn't get stabbed through the chest this time}}.
* {{spoiler|[[Heroic BSOD]]: Has one when she helps Lelouch and the Phantoms murder the Atrumier family}}.
Line 152:
* [[Incredibly Lame Pun]]: After Hisana uses her [[Light the Way|Chant of Light]] against {{spoiler|Koga}} Byakuya tells her "that was brilliant".
* {{spoiler|[[Kill the Ones You Love]]: In order to get on Muramasa’s good side he has to kill his children}}.
* {{spoiler|[[Papa Wolf]]}}: Guaranteed as of ch 94. {{spoiler|And shown in chapter 123. See [[Screw the Rules, I'm Doing What's Right]] below}}
* {{spoiler|[[Screw the Rules, I'm Doing What's Right]]}}: Uses {{spoiler|Forbidden kido}} to {{spoiler|[[Papa Wolf|protect his children]] by using spatial displacement kido (the same type that got Tessai in trouble)}}.
{{quote| '''Byakuya:''' {{spoiler|In times of crisis some laws have to be broken}}}}
* [[Used to Be A Sweet Kid]]: [[Break the Cutie|then]] [[Despair Event Horizon|shit]] [[Silly Rabbit, Idealism Is for Kids|happened]].
* {{spoiler|[[What the Hell, Hero?]]: Hisana really lays into him for defecting to Muramasa. It's not like she knows it's an act. [[Kill the Ones You Love|It would get worse.]]}}
** {{spoiler|She follows up on it later when she realizes its all an act and asked Byakuya why he couldn't trust her. Cue [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming]]}}.
* [[You Remind Me of X]]: Lelouch tells Byakuya he reminds him of Suzaku.
Line 169:
*** He's also starting to get a larger role lately so the author hasn't completely forgotten about him it seems.
* {{spoiler|[[Did Not Get the Girl]]: See [[Unlucky Childhood Friend]] below}}
* [[Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?]]: An actual good an honest literal example of this trope. Renji actually punches Zabimaru in the face, while it’s using Bankai and it helps him win. Yeah you know the red tufted part of Renji’s Bankai. He punched that. {{spoiler|Kaien}} lampshades it.
* [[Flanderization]]: In canon Renji is notirously known for being both a [[Butt Monkey]] and a victim of [[Badass Decay]]. In the fic it reaches a point where, if someone needs to be made the butt of a joke, expect Renji to be the victim or if Renji fights, don't expect him to win or put up that much of a fight.
** Seems to be getting subverted as of late with his [[Training From Hell]] and [[Took a Level In Badass|extra level in badass]].
Line 178:
* [[Training From Hell]]: Invokes this on himself in order to [[Took a Level In Badass|Take a Level In Badass]] since he realizes he’s one of the weaker fighters in the {{spoiler|second battle of the}} war {{spoiler|with Talbumosuke}}
* {{spoiler|[[Unlucky Childhood Friend]]: Becomes this when Rukia marries Kaien}}.
* [[What the Hell, Hero?]]: Gave one to {{spoiler|Kaien to let him know that he is not on his own in fighting Mia}}.
* [[Who Is This Guy Again?]]: The [[Demoted to Extra|demotion]] is so bad that Ichigo barely knows who he is now and HE CAN'T STAND IT!!!
 
=== Sajin Komamura ===
Line 189:
The [[Rated M for Manly|manly]] Vice-Captain of Squad 7. {{spoiler|Fired by Yuna Homura for disrespecting her when she is given the status of 7th Squad Captain. He is replaced by Susanna Shapikni}}.
 
* [[Precision F -Strike]]: While fighting Allon
{{quote| That thing just [[The Worf Effect|threw one of my squad’s former prominent fighters into the dirt without doing much of anything]]. Fuck this! We can’t beat that thing!}}
 
Line 196:
 
* [[Acquired Poison Immunity]]: Reveals this to Uryu after a dangerous drinking game.
* [[What the Hell, Hero?]]: He expected this from Lisa because {{spoiler|Nanao died}}, [[Averted Trope|but it didn’t happen]].
 
=== Nanao Ise ===
The pushy, upstart vice-captain of Squad 8. {{spoiler|Killed by Loly in a very BRUTAL [[Cruel and Unusual Death|way]].}}. Her Zanpakuto in this series is Fukuro.
 
* [[Dual -Wielding]]: Her Shikai is two small dagger blades.
* [[Improbable Use of a Weapon]]: Makes a habit of this because enemies don't expect it.
* {{spoiler|[[Killed Off for Real]]}}
Line 212:
* [[Ascended Extra]]
* [[Iaijutsu Practitioner]]: Naomi says she learned it from him so obviously he’s this too.
* [[Old Soldier]]: Considering the hell he's probably been through and isn't the least bit overwhelmed by everything or exemplifying the traits of a [[Shell -Shocked Veteran]] he definitely qualifies here. Of course he seems a lot softer of an individual than the usual portrayal of this trope.
* [[Zen Survivor]]
 
Line 231:
Though originally a "friend" of Lelouch's Gin is still the [[Magnificent Bastard]] [[Wild Card]] everyone knows him to be. Even {{spoiler|after Talbumosuke's death, when Lelouch convinces the Central Forty Six to consider Gin a [[Fake Defector]] and Gin is reinstated into the Gotei as the Vice-captain of Squad 9 to replace Hisagi he remains this way.}}
 
* {{spoiler|[[Anti -Hero]]: Type IV with shades of Type V definitely}}
* [[Black Comedy Rape]]: Invoked in the omake chapter 74.03 (the omake for ch 82)
* [[Curb Stomp Battle]]: {{spoiler|Easily defeats his own Zanpakuto in the Reapers and Heralds arc.}}
* [[Evil Counterpart]]: To Lelouch. Though he’s not quite as intelligent {{spoiler|the fact that Hisana considers him to be the best the Gotei has at coming up with a plan during the Reapers and Heralds arc}} and considering Gin’s other actions it definitely qualifies him for this.
* {{spoiler|[[Fake Defector]]: Debatable as to whether or not Gin himself is one, but Lelouch makes him out to be one to the Central Forty Six. But then again he really does care about Rangiku, so it is possible he is entirely this. He's lucky Lelouch spoke in his defense}}.
* {{spoiler|[[Good Is Not Nice]]: Good in only the sense of the fact that he’s once again affiliated with the Soul Society. Rangiku [[What the Hell, Hero?|calls him out on it]]}}
* {{spoiler|[[I Want My Beloved to Be Happy]]}}: In chapter 61 he says that {{spoiler|if he doesn't make it, he wants Lelouch to take care of Rangiku}}.
* {{spoiler|[[Karma Houdini]]: Gin isn’t getting any retribution, verbal or otherwise, for killing Hachigen. The Soul Society, of course, since Hachigen is just an extra hand and was written off in the records as KIA, will not lay a hand on him, but it’s amazing that Shinji or one of the other Visoreds haven’t given Lelouch [[What the Hell, Hero?|a good scolding]].}}
** It’s possible they don’t know that he {{spoiler|was set loose as Tosen’s replacement Vice-captain for Hisagi}}
* [[Out Gambitted]]: He comes up with a cunning plan during the {{spoiler|Reapers and Heralds arc}}, and it is a very good one at that. Unfortunately {{spoiler|Eien Tamashi and Lelouch}} were one step ahead of that.
* [[Silly Rabbit, Idealism Is for Kids]]: Gin flat out says the key phrase “I grew up” to {{spoiler|his Zanpakuto}}
* {{spoiler|[[Take That]]: Invoked by the author at what [[Impaled With Extreme Prejudice|Gin did to Aizen]] in canon replicated with Talbumosuke here, only it works}}.
* {{spoiler|[[What the Hell, Hero?]]: Rangiku gives him a big one, including slapping him. Gin even denotes that he’d prefer she’d have [[Impaled With Extreme Prejudice|Run him through with Haineko]] coming from a man who enjoys psychological torture and killed Hachigen in cold blood in Soul Chess, not to mention all of his actions in canon, this says something}}.
 
 
Line 258:
 
=== Kukaku Shiba ===
Kaien's [[Hair -Trigger Temper|irate younger sister]]. She is hostile towards Lelouch at first, but has come to be one of his biggest supporters in recent years (in-universe of course). After Isshin's banishment {{spoiler|since Kaien is the head of the Shiba clan, which is the main family of the Kurosaki clan, Kukaku is sent to prison for political reasons. Lelouch, [[Took a Level In Badass|now a captain]], bails her out in exchange for having her join his squad. She complies and is currently a 6th seat under his command}}. {{spoiler|Her Zanpakuto is called Kyodai Bakudan}}.
 
* [[Abuse Is Okay When Its Female On Male]]: Beats the shit out of Ichigo/Kaien whenver they question her/piss her off.
Line 265:
* [[Combat Pragmatist]]
* [[Drives Like Crazy]]
* [[Hair -Trigger Temper]]
* [[Having a Blast]]
* [[I Was Beaten By a Girl]]: Largely averted. If Kukaku beats your ass down, complaining will only result in a further dose of pain.
* [[Mythology Gag]]: Lelouch isn’t the [[Crossover|first]] [[Tales of the Abyss|person]] Kukaku realizes [[Cannot Hold His Liquor]]
* [[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero]]: While trying to {{spoiler|break Rukia out of prison}} Kukaku has a slip of the tongue and reveals that Kaien is trying to do the same thing.
* [[Power Fist]]: Obtains one when {{spoiler|she releases her Zanpakuto}}.
* [[Sir Swearsalot]]: And ''how!''
Line 279:
 
* [[Brilliant but Lazy]]: Not brilliant [[Curb Stomp Battle|enough]].
* [[What Do You Mean ItsIt's Not Heinous?]]: Let Zaraki talk smack and do as he pleased in his squad, but when Yachiru peed on the statue of the first Kenpachi he went nuts.
 
=== Kenpachi Zaraki ===
Line 290:
* [[Heartbroken Badass]]: If it is indeed true that he and {{spoiler|the original Yachiru}} were more than friends. He qualifies for this
* {{spoiler|[[Heroic BSOD]]: Suffers this after his Zanpakuto beats him}}
* {{spoiler|[[ItsIt's Personal]]: The main reason for limiting Ichigo's role in fighting Vanguard.}}
* [[Memetic Badass]]: The omake of ch 82 turns him into this
* [[Punch Punch Punch Uh Oh]]: {{spoiler|His battle against Vanguard}}
Line 318:
* [[Camp Straight]]: No, ''really''.
* [[Disproportionate Retribution]]: See above.
* [[Does This Remind You of Anything?]]. Yumichika points out how hard slimy stains are to get out of black clothing.
* [[Jerk With a Heart of Gold]]: {{spoiler|Willing to become the adoptive father to Shisato's child as a way to both support her and honor the memory of Ikkaku.}}
* [[Mistaken for Gay]]: [[Suspiciously Specific Denial|assures Shisatos he's straight]].
Line 330:
The twisted successor over the Department of Research and Development to Kisuke Urahara. {{spoiler|Killed off by Nyra.}}
 
* {{spoiler|[[Family -Unfriendly Death]]: Oh yes indeed}}
* {{spoiler|[[Killed Off for Real]]: By Nyra}}
