My-HiME: Difference between revisions

For more information on the characters within the series, check out the [[Mai-HiME (Anime)/Characters|character sheet]].

 

 

* [[Absurdly Powerful Student Council]]: It's explicitly stated that ''they'', not the director, Mashiro, run the school.

* [[Always Save the Girl]]: Even the Himes that don't necessarily turn antagonistic tend to put more focus on protecting those close to them than saving the world.

* [[Ancient Conspiracy]]: At least two of them!

* [[Anguished Declaration of Love]]: Shiho does this to Yuichi... but he's sleeping at the time. Whoops.

** Shizuru has one of these with Natsuki, after her secret desire is exposed by Haruka and Yukino. She informs Natsuki that she never wanted her to know about her "wicked love" that she felt could never be returned. {{spoiler|Natsuki later tells Shizuru that she doesn't feel quite the same way that she does, but she's happy Shizuru loves her and also loves her in her own way}}.

* [[CPR Clean Pretty Reliable]]: Mai, in the first episode.

* [[Crash Into Hello]]

* [[Crucified Hero Shot]]: Natsuki.

* [[Custom Uniform]]: The higher-ranking members of the student council have their own unique uniforms.

* [[Demonic Invaders]]: The Orphans.

* [[Did Not Do the Research]]: Nuns don't take confessions.

* [[Disney Death]]: Even the ones that don't even have Phlebotinum to stand on.

* [[Dissonant Serenity]]: {{spoiler|[[Psycho Lesbian|Villain]]!Shizuru}}

* [[Does Not Like Men]]: Nao hates men ever since {{spoiler|a gang killed her father and left her mother and Key comatose}}

** There's some fandom discussion about this on the discussion page.

* [[Earn Your Happy Ending]]: Mai (and pretty much everyone else) has to really work hard for this.

* [[Festival Episode]]: Two of them.

* [[Fille Fatale]]: Nao; See [[Enjo Kosai]], above.

* [[First Kiss]]: Mai gives up hers to Mikoto via CPR, but she insists [[That Didn't Happen]].

** Shiho forces Tate to give her one in epiosde 19. {{spoiler|Unbeknownst to him, Mai was sitting on a swing in a playground below where they were at, and he does it right in full view of her. Unlike when Mai [[Almost Kiss|nearly kissed]] Reito, she doesn't stop him, but he hears her getting off the swing in time to realize the trap Shiho forced him in.}}

* [[Gambit Pileup]]: There are two separate groups of [[Ancient Conspiracy|Illuminati]] involved, just for starters. {{spoiler|1=One such group is in the middle of a power struggle between two [[Eldritch Abomination|Eldritch Abominations]], has one human [[The Starscream|Starscream]] with his own pet HiME, has one [[Defector From Decadence]] independently working with Natsuki to bring the whole thing down, and ''had'' another member who tried to defect to the other side. The other group is more or less taken off the board in the middle of the series, but still works with Natsuki to trade information, and the immortal cyborg superweapon they lost control of proves key to stopping the [[Big Bad]].}}

* [[Genre Blindness]]: Many characters in the "vampire" episode.

* [[Gilligan Cut]]: In episode 15, Midori attempts to form a Hime protection group. Both Nao and Natsuki both claim they're not interested. In the very next scene, Midori is giving her speech about it, and both girls are there, albeit against their will and tied up, with the implication that Midori knocked them out and brought them there.

* [[The Glomp]]: Mikoto -> Mai, a lot; likewise Shiho -> Yuuichi.

* [[Master of Illusion]]: St. Vlas' (Yukariko's CHILD) ability.

* [[Meaningful Name]]: Mai-HiME. My princess? Dancing Princess? Princess Mai?

* [[Meganekko]]: Yukino.

* [[Meido]]: Fumi the pink-haired caretaker.

* [[Motorcycle On the Coast Road]]: Just to make sure you know Natsuki's a rebel.

* [[Mukokuseki]]: Most of the cast. In "Natsuki's Prelude," though, it's noted that Natsuki is suspicious of Yamada because he doesn't look Japanese, and suspects that it isn't his real name.

** So what is it called when the Orphan {{spoiler|Akane fights}} in the eighth episode has eight legs?

* [[Murder the Hypotenuse]]: {{spoiler|Attempted by Shiho, but Yuuichi sees through it}}.

* [[Musical Assassin]]: Shiho's Element is a flute.

** Later somewhat subverted and then reinforced when {{spoiler|it turns out it was in fact Yatagarasu that struck the fatal blow against Gennai. Before realizing this however, Mikoto defeats both Fumi and Midori and still invokes the trope.}}

* [[Mysterious Informant]]: Natsuki keeps meeting him for exposition purposes.

* [[NGO Superpower]]: Searrs.

* [[Naughty Tentacles]]: Played light, not serious, in episode 4.

* [[Neutral Female]]: [[Gender Flip|Gender Flipped]] with Yuuichi.

* [[Ninja Pirate Zombie Robot]]: Bonus points for actually including a [[Ninja]] and a [[Robot Girl|Robot]].

* [[No Body Left Behind]]

* [[The Nose Bleed]]: Natsuki gives Takeda these, to both their horrors.

* [[No Social Skills]]: Mikoto.

* [[Ominous Latin Chanting]]: Mezame's broken Italian, but eh, close enough.

* [[Ominous Multiple Screens]]: The Obsidian Shrine EUB.

* [[Oracular Urchin]]: Nagi.

* [[Ordinary High School Student]]: Kazuya, Akane's boyfriend, has a perfectly average life at school and working with Mai and Akane at the dinner. {{spoiler|He's also the first person in the series to die.}}

* [[Show Some Leg]]: Natsuki trying to use her femininity to get a car home in episode 9. [[Hilarity Ensues]].

* [[Sick Episode]]: The two-part audio drama, "Demonic Uproar" and "Natsuki's Desperations", in which Natsuki becomes sick after the events of Episode 9.

* [[The Smurfette Principle]]: [http://web.archive.org/web/20070311211648/http://www.wizarduniverse.com/magazine/anime/002818592.cfm Director-claimed] deliberate inversion.

* [[Snow Means Love]]

* [[Synchronization]]: See the [[Powered By a Forsaken Child]] entry.

* [[Taking You With Me]]: {{spoiler|Natsuki does this to Shizuru}}

* [[Team Shot]]: The opening.

* [[There Can Be Only One]]: The HiME Carnival

* [[Vomit Discretion Shot]]: Subverted. Midori pukes offscreen after a night of partying, but you can still see the aftermath and hear Nao ''scream'' because of that.

* [[Waif Prophet]]: The {{spoiler|apparently}} 11-year-old Director, Mashiro.

* [[We Can Rule Together]]: The last episode. In an inverted parallel of ''[[Star Wars]]'', {{spoiler|1=the [[Big Bad]] offers Mai the place of [[The Dragon]], Mikoto, who undergoes a [[Heel Face Turn]] because Mai is her parent/big sister figure, instead of the other way around. Mai says "no", twice, and then destroys the HiME Star with a little help from her friends}}.

* [[Weird Moon]]: Besides appearing enormous, notice that the moon is somehow always full throughout the series.

* [[Wham Episode]]: Episodes 8 and 16.

* [[What Kind of Lame Power Is Heart Anyway]]: Poor Yukino is pretty much relegated to a supporting role.

** Although it is arguable whether Yukino qualifies for this trope, as her role is effectively to provide intelligence and communication for the other, combat-oriented HiMEs. A very valuable role in real life.
