Line 14:
** {{spoiler|Actually, he does not want to destroy the world, nor does he destroy the world. The Flame Haze ''feared'' that the Crimson Denizens would lack restraint and devour humans even in their paradise Xanadu (which would have limitless Power of Existence) and would destroy the world, but they the Crimson Denizens were willing to compromise despite having won.}}
* [[Angst What Angst]]: [[Invoked Trope|Invoked]]. Kind of. He cares more about people being sad because of him dying than of death itself. To be exact, he's even ''glad'' that death would turn him into a [[Ret Gone]], because of his nature as a torch. He does angst about his own identity twice or thrice, but usually whenever he's worried, it's about everybody ''but'' himself, who's the resident [[Tomato in The Mirror]].
* {{spoiler|[[Anti
* [[Awesomeness By Analysis]]
* [[Badass Long Hair]]: As {{spoiler|Snake of the Festival, Yuji's longhair is badass enough to shape-shift into a giant dark snake.}}
Line 34:
* {{spoiler|[[Evil Overlord]]: [http://img80.imageshack.us/i/yujibringiton.jpg/ To Bal Masque] after his ascention to Snake of the Festival. [[Good All Along|Or so it seems...]]}}
* {{spoiler|[[Face Heel Turn]]: After he joins Snake of the Festival and turns against the Flame Hazes.}}
* [[First
* {{spoiler|[[Forgotten Fallen Friend]]: During the his reign as Snake of The Festival, all of his human friends (save Yoshida, Keisaku and Eita) starts to forget him, and by the time the final battle between the Flame Hazes and Bal Masque unfolds, even his mother forgot about him, sadly and innocently enjoying her newborn baby as her "only" son.}}
* {{spoiler|[[Good All Along]]}}
Line 60:
** {{spoiler|Even without the Snake, Yuji is one, though he does not yet know how to use his power to its full potential. Thanks to Hecate's synchronization with him, Alastor confirmed he has the power of a Crimson God.}}
* {{spoiler|[[Power Makes Your Hair Grow]]}}
* {{spoiler|[[Protagonist Journey to Villain|Protagonist Journey To]] [[Well
* [[Rapunzel Hair]]: {{spoiler|Snake of the Festival, again.}}
* [[Red Oni, Blue Oni]]: Blue to Shana's Red.
* [[Relationship Voice Actor]]: Yuji, Shana, and {{spoiler|Snake of the Festival}} are [[Gintama (Manga)|Kamui, Kagura, and Umibozu]].
** Yuji and Shana are also [[Familiar of Zero|Saito and Louise.]]
Line 81:
* [[Took a Level In Badass]]: A few of them, actually.
** Many of them in the novels, later his {{spoiler|apparent [[Face Heel Turn]]}} marked his continuous and ever-improving use of this trope. {{spoiler|Keyword "apparent" [[The Extreamist Was Right|because of his surprisingly noble goals]].}}
* {{spoiler|[[Well
* [[Yandere]]: A subtle one at first, especially in the novels towards Shana. {{spoiler|Becomes a full-fledged one after becoming the Snake of the Festival. Then Lord help you if you stand between him and Shana.}}
** {{spoiler|To put it another way: he's going to ''destroy and recreate the universe'' just so Shana doesn't have to fight anymore.}}
Line 129:
* [[Cannot Spit It Out]]: Averted with {{spoiler|him simply confessing to Yoshida}}.
* [[The Chew Toy]]: This guy ''can not'' catch a break.
* [[Genre Savvy]]: At least with regards to the "slice-of-life" aspects of the story. Ike gets increasingly annoyed at Yuji as the story progresses for how much of a [[Chick Magnet]] he turns out to be and how [[Oblivious to Love]] he is, and even [[What the Hell, Hero?|calls him out]] on it.
* [[I Want My Beloved to Be Happy]]: Hayato cares more for Kazumi's feelings than his own, enough that he helps her get closer to Yuji. He eventually was tired with Yuji's [[Selective Obliviousness]] over this and tells him that he's being rude and cruel. And then there's [[Spoiler Opening|the opening of the second season]]...
* [[Matchmaker Crush]]: When he helps Kazumi, of course.
Line 159:
* [[Hot Dad]]
* [[So Proud of You]]: His attitude towards Yuji, who he sees is maturing tremendously. Feeling that Yuji is ready, Kantaro has a heart-to-heart talk with Yuji about responsibility and also informs him that he had a twin brother that did not survive childbirth.
* [[When You Coming Home, Dad?]]: His work keeps him overseas for months at a time. He's so absent, that when he returns for a visit Shana mistakes him for an enemy.
Line 174:
* [[Likes Older Women]]: The woman he loves is physically about twice his age (in reality she is hundred of years older than him).
* [[Lonely Rich Kid]]: He's not deprived of friends, but he does have a small social circle.
* {{spoiler|[[May
* {{spoiler|[[Mayfly
* [[Mission Control]]: For Margery. Wants to be more.
** {{spoiler|By the second season, he even considers becoming a Flame Haze himself just to be better able to support her.}}
*** {{spoiler|By the third season, he attempts to join Outlaw, the [[Mission Control]] organization for Flame Haze in general. Unfortunately, they decide to hold him hostage in an attempt to convince Wilhelmina to report in and not to [[Rogue Agent|go rogue]].}}
* [[Non
* [[Real Life Relative]]: His and Ike's seiyuu. They are brothers.
* [[Ship Sinking]]: Margery tries to keep him and Eita at arms length by telling them about her [[Dark and Troubled Past]]. In Eita's case, it works, but it backfires rather epically for Keisaku.
Line 264:
* {{spoiler|[[Hot Dad]]}}
* [[Sealed Good in A Can]]
* [[Star
* [[Theme Naming]]: Named after Johann [[Faust]].
Line 290:
* [[Battle Couple]]: With Yuji.
* [[Betty and Veronica]]: Veronica to Kazumi's Betty.
* [[Big "Shut Up!"]]: Her [[Catch Phrase]]. "Urusai, urusai, urusai!"<ref>"Shut up, shut up, shut up!</ref>
* [[Blade Reflection]]: The Trope picture.
* [[Break the Cutie]]: {{spoiler|Snake of the Festival Yuji utterly beats Shana down, captures her, strips her powers, enslaves and chaines her; ALL OF THIS after he already confessed his love for her and is still confessing at any time given, because for the now twisted God making his lover powerless is better to protect her while he builds a new world. She got better though and even became his mistress while the Flame Hazes were preparing the ultimate comeback.}}
Line 307:
* [[Fiery Redhead]]: [[Playing With Fire|Literally]], but only when she activates her Flame Haze powers. Normally, her hair is dark black-brown.
* [[First Kiss]]: An entire episode is devoted to explaining her the "milestone" nature of this. She reacts [[Tsundere|as expected]].
* [[First
* [[Flaming Hair]]: While normal in form, when she activates her Flame Haze powers her hair is colored like a blazing flame with ember like sparks flying off.
* [[Flaming Sword]]
Line 328:
* [[Ms. Fanservice]]: Shana has a few issues [[Clothing Damage|with keeping her clothes on]] during the series and has at least two [[Furo Scene|Furo Scenes]].
* [[Mundane Utility]]: She mentions that she doesn't need to bathe, since she can just use Alastor's "purifying flame" to cleanse herself.
* [[Named Weapons]]: Her nodachi, Nietono no Shana. In an interesting twist, her ''sword'' has a name, but ''[[No Name Given|she]]'' [[No Name Given|doesn't]]. So Yuji names her after her sword. Apparently, [[In Soviet Russia, Trope Mocks You|in Misaki City, sword names you]].
** [[They Call Him "Sword"|They Call Her Sword]]
* [[No Social Skills]]: Especially evident when she doesn't know about kissing.
* [[Older Than They Look]]: But probably not by much, seeing as she became a Flame Haze outside of a very modern-looking city. She's small and [[Pettanko|flat]], but it's never specified what age she was when she stopped aging, she could easily have been eleven or twelve, or she could have been in her late teens... The point is, assuming she doesn't end up [[Killed Off for Real]], she'll eventually become [[Really 700 Years Old]].
Line 339:
* [[Red Eyes Take Warning]]: When she activates her Flame Haze powers.
* [[Red Headed Heroine]]: When she activates her Flame Haze powers.
* [[Red Oni, Blue Oni]]: Red to Yuji's Blue.
* [[Tall, Dark and Bishoujo|Short, Dark and Bishoujo]]
* [[Sacrificed Basic Skill for Awesome Training]]: Shana is the penultimate Flame Haze, but her [[The Spartan Way|training]] left her crippling ill-equipped to deal with life when it came to things besides combat. While there are some humorous consequences to this (such as her innocently asking [[Love Interests|Yuji]] and his family how babies were made), the trope is played very seriously as well. In the early story arcs, her incomprehension of her growing feelings for Yuji caused a lot of angst and frustration on her part.
* [[Sarashi]]: In a few episodes.
Line 354:
* [[The Mentor]]: She begins training Yuji to fight Crimson Denizens after the latter learns he'll not being disappearing like most Mystes and Torches.
* {{spoiler|[[They Do]]: Shana and Yuji end up in a romantic relationship at the end of the series.}}
* [[Token Mini
* [[Tomboy and Girly Girl]]: Tomboy to Kazumi's Girly Girl.
* [[Tomboyish Ponytail]]
* [[Trademark Favorite Food]]: Melon bread. I mean, good ''gods''. She's rarely seen eating anything else, and the few times she [[When She Smiles|smiles]] is before and while eating the stuff.
* [[Tsundere]]: So much so that she is the [[Trope Pantheons/Emotion|Goddess of Tsundere]]. Also justified, see [[The Spartan Way]] above.
* [[What Is This Thing You Call Love?]]: [[The Spartan Way]] was skimpy when it came to romance; never even being taught ''what love was'' helps explain why she reacts to her obvious feelings [[Tsundere|the way she does]]. At one point, she starts asking everyone how babies are made, which makes for some ''really'' awkward moments...
** Less humorously, this trope was a major issue in the early part of the series, where her growing feelings, which she did not understand, caused angst, frustration, and self-doubt that Margery and Friagne ruthlessly exploited in their fights with her.
* [[When She Smiles]]
Line 377:
* [[God Is Flawed]]: Alastor does have his short comings. His emphasis on raising Shana to be the perfect Flame Haze meant that Shana was [[No Social Skills|very ignorant of human interactions and relationships.]] The worst example of this was how Shana used to strip naked in front of others and let Alastor purify her instead of bathing, something Sophie Sawallisch managed to shame her out of (thankfully before she met Yuji). And, more seriously, {{spoiler|Alastor made the mistake of imprisoning the Snake of the Festival in the Abyss out of fear that the Snake's plan would fail catastrophically, a fear that thousands of years later proved misplaced.}}
* [[God Is Good]]
* [[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero]]: {{spoiler|Potentially. Alastor was instrumental in defeating the Snake of the Festival during the first war with Bal Masqué, his motivation for doing so being the same as the second time he waged war: he and his allies feared that the Crimson Denizens would not exercise restraint despite having limitless Power of Existence, and they would could continue to consume humans' Power of Existence, eventually causing the world's destruction. However, at the end of the series, the Crimson Denizens, despite being victorious, agree to allow their paradise Xanadu to have a restraint preventing them from devouring humans' Power of Existence, suggesting that Alastor's fears were misplaced. On the other hand, this was after the Crimson Denizens were forced to roam Earth for three thousand years and learn more from humans, without this they may have not had the same respect for human life as they came to develop. On the ''other'' other hand, if Crimson Denizens had learned to admire humans in those three thousand years, how much better could it have gone had they not ''needed'' to subsist on humans, but had a harmless alternative? Ultimately, this is a case of [[YMMV Trope]] and a what if.}}
* [[Parental Substitute]]: To Shana.
* [[Physical God]]
Line 393:
* [[Absolute Cleavage]]: During the [[Beach Episode]] (water park technically).
* [[The Alcoholic]]
* [[Angst Coma]]: She spends the beginning of Season III in one, after {{spoiler|Snake's [["The Reason You Suck" Speech]].}}
* [[Blood From the Mouth]]: She gets better, though.
* [[Blood Knight]]
Line 405:
* [[Despair Event Horizon]]: She nearly crosses it after {{spoiler|the Snake of Festival reveals to her what the Silver actually is. However, her feelings for Keisaku manage to save her from it and give her a new reason to live}}.
* [[Doppelganger Spin]]: One of her signature moves [[So Last Season|early on]].
* [[
* [[Gag Boobs]]: During the festival. It's pretty ridiculous.
* [[Go Mad From the Revelation]]: She suffers a mental breakdown after {{spoiler|Snake of Festival Yuji explains to her that the Silver is actually a projection of her emotions, a mirror of her hate towards everyone who abused her and has done the things Margery secretly wanted to do to them on her behalf. Her realization of her feelings for Keisaku are the only thing that prevent from crossing the [[Despair Event Horizon]] and gives her another reason to live}}.
Line 413:
* [[Ironic Nursery Tune]]: She is named after one and uses them for her spell chants.
* [[Kuudere]]
* {{spoiler|[[Love Epiphany]]: After Snake's [["The Reason You Suck" Speech]] and nearly crossing the [[Despair Event Horizon]], she realizes of her feelings for Keisaku and these give her a reason to live.}}
* [[Meganekko]]
** [[Scary Shiny Glasses]]: At times.
Line 420:
* [[Multiple Head Case]]: Her multi-headed werewolf form.
* [[Mundane Utility]]: She shrugs off her heavy drinking, telling her Lord she can just use the flame to make herself sober if she needs to fight.
* {{spoiler|[[Official Couple]]: With Keisaku. It's both [[May
* [[Purely Aesthetic Glasses]]
* [[Rapunzel Hair]]
* [[Tall, Dark and Bishoujo|Tall, Blonde and Bishoujo]]
* [[The Power of Hate]]: Her hatred for Crimson Denizens is her reason for being {{spoiler|(until a certain point, at least)}}. She does not distinguish between good Denizens and evil Denizens.
* [[Unstoppable Rage]]: When {{spoiler|Yuji casts a fuzetsu}} during Pheles's attack, revealing {{spoiler|his silver flame}}. She goes ''absolutely insane''.
Line 473:
* [[Power Makes Your Hair Grow]]: Tiamat's ribbon-adorned [[Mask of Power|mask form]] achieves a very similar visual effect.
* [[Red Eyes Take Warning]]
* [[Rose
* [[The Spock]]
* [[The Stoic]]
** [[Not So Stoic]]
* [[Tall, Dark and Bishoujo|Tall, Pink-Haired and Bishoujo]]
* [[Trademark Favorite Food]]: Gingered Pork. Hail Pork.
* [[Tsundere]]: Nowhere near Shana's level, but she could never openly admit her affection towards Merihim, and referred to him as a "detestable person".
* [[Verbal Tic]]: ~de arimasu. "Indeed" in the dub.
** [[Mask of Power|Tiamat]] also has a habit of adding short two-word comments to Wilhelmine's sentences.
* [[What the Hell, Hero?]]: Afraid that Yuji was distracting Shana from her purpose as a Flame Haze, she attempted to kill him and remove the Reiji Maigo. Shana was not pleased about this.
Line 496:
* {{spoiler|[[Disappears Into Light]]}}
* [[Dishing Out Dirt]]
* [[Good Scars, Evil Scars]]: He has scars across his mouth and under his eye.
* [[Hey
* [[Humongous Mecha]] [[Golem]]: He can summon one made of rocks.
** [[Epic Flail]]
Line 548:
* [[Hot Blooded]]
* [[Running Gag]]: Early on -- being showered by fire sprinklers, startled by her explosion.
* [[Screw the Rules, I'm Doing What's Right]]: Upon hearing about Shana and Wilhelmine's troubles, she takes off to help them, despite the Outlaws in general refusing to intervene.
* [[There Was a Door]]: She tends to blast doors rather than opening them.
Line 580:
----
* [[A God Am I]]
* [[Anti
** {{spoiler|[[Anti
* [[Batman Gambit]]: [[spoiler: Snake of the Festival Yuji is one step ahead of the Flame Haze the entire third season, and the only reason that the Flame Haze partially succeed in their goals is because the Crimson Denizens entreat him to ''allow'' them to.
* [[Big Bad]]: {{spoiler|[[Good All Along|Or not]].}}
Line 596:
* {{spoiler|[[The Extremist Was Right]]}}
* [[The Maker]]: He ''is'' the God of Creation, and he's capable of creating powerful [[MacGuffin|Treasure Tools]] and entire worlds (though Earth and the Crimson Realm were not created by him).
* [[Well
Line 610:
* [[Dishing Out Dirt]]
* [[Four Star Badass]]
* [[Good Scars, Evil Scars]]: He has a large scar on the left side of his face.
* [[Heroic Sacrifice]]/[[Last Stand]]/[[You Shall Not Pass]]: He stalls the Crimson Denizens to allow the Flame Haze army to retreat.
* [[Ridiculously Fast Construction]]: His speciality. In the beginning of the attack on Seireiden, he creates a fortress in span of several seconds.
Line 655:
* [[Neutral No Longer]]: Initially, they don't join any of the warring sides. It changes when one of them is killed by Bal Masque.
* [[The Nicknamer]]: They use special titles for Flame Hazes and Crimson Lords, different from their "standard" ones.
* [[Non
* [[Theme Naming]]: Their contractors are named after Aztec gods: Tlaloc, Quetzalcóatl, Tezcatlipoca, and Chalciuhtlicue.
Line 665:
The Native-American Flame Haze contracted to "Drum of Exceptional Love" Tlaloc, whose will resides in a a squarish-shaped stone medal as his divine vessel. He and his contracted Crimson Lord are widely feared by many Denizens, calling him a "monster". In all four, he is least excels in combat and fighting.
----
* [[Bare
* [[Field Power Effect]]: His Unrestrictied Spell Tlalocan, which covers an area with [[Battle in The Rain|heavy rain]], allows him to [[Flash Step]] freely inside its limits, and turns slain Denizens into [[Green Thumb|trees]].
* [[Heroic Sacrifice]]: He stays to fight Sydonay to allow others to retreat, despite losing an arm earlier.
Line 757:
* [[The Brute]]: Far from stupid or malicious, but he's the most action-oriented of the Trinity.
* [[Hero Killer]]
* [[Lolicon]]: [[Does This Remind You of Anything?|If his actions and words around Hecate are indicative of anything.]]
** Parodied in ''Shakugan no Shana-tan'' specials.
* [[Morph Weapon]]: His Treasure Tool, a spear that can change shape and size at will.
Line 783:
* [[Murder the Hypotenuse]]: She attempts this on {{spoiler|a powerless Shana}} in the third season.
* [[Nice Hat]]: So nice, it's the current trope picture.
* [[Nice Job Fixing It, Villain]]: {{spoiler|While Konoe was gathering memories and feelings during Season 2, she was fascinated by birds and kept having them land on her hands. After Hecate transfers said feelings/memories and the stolen Reiji Maigo into the Statue of Pride, cue a [[Curb Stomp Battle]] between it and Shana/Yuji. Unable to get close enough to attack, Shana tries one last attempt by flying towards the statue. During that attack, the statue sees Shana like a little bird, which causes the it to reach out with its hand instead of attacking her. Shana and Yuji then use this opportunity to reclaim the Reiji Maigo and leave Hecate wondering what the heck just happened.}}
* [[Reincarnation]]: The Snake of the Festival spends most of his time sleeping while waiting for the Crimson Denizens' desires and faith to grow strong enough to awaken him so that he might grant their wish. Each time, Hecate and the rest of the Trinity (if the other members of the Trinity had perished) are reborn to prepare the way.
* [[Rei Ayanami Expy]]
Line 807:
* [[Power Nullifier]]: She can use her chains to suppress others' abilities, such as Shana's Flame Haze powers or Kazumi's [[Summon Magic|Giralda]].
* [[The Strategist]]
* [[Tall, Dark and Bishoujo|Tall, Rose-Haired and Bishoujo]]
* [[Third Eye]]
Line 825:
* [[Curb Stomp Battle]]: {{spoiler|Sabrac throws Wilhelmina around like a rag doll and severely injures Shana before Yuji figures out how to defeat him. In his second battle with the Flame Haze (that we see in the series), he inflicts brutal damage on the Flame Haze before losing his will to fight upon viewing the overwhelming power of the Snake of the Festival.}}
* {{spoiler|[[Despair Event Horizon]]: Realizing his (relative) impotency when compared to the Snake of the Festival, he chooses to die in the Abyss, the void between Earth and the Crimson World. At the same time, he enjoys his feeling of despair, realizing that it finally caused him to understand and connect with Mare.}}
