Line 14:
=== ''Corsair'' provides examples of: ===
 
* [[The Ace]]: Despite his status as a [[Trauma Conga Line|woobie]], Canale has the arguably best skill set in the cast as he well-rounded in combat, strategy and diplomacy. Scratch his reputedly cursed birth, he ''is'' dangerous and surviving everything he has been through just makes him even more so. See also [[Self -Fulfilling Prophecy]].
* [[A Child Shall Lead Them]]: Although he is only 15, Leti Farless was chosen as the new chief of Preveza upon his father's death. However, his immaturity and naivete are kept in check with people like Ayace, Canale, and Barbossa advising him and he's at the very least a charismatic leader.
* [[Always Identical Twins]]: Averted. Aura and Leti are clearly related, but Leti takes more after their father whereas Aura takes more after their mother's side (judging by their uncle Boris).
Line 42:
* [[Naked First Impression]]: {{spoiler|When Mansour sees Aura for the first time during the rescue mission, she immediately throws off her cumbersome dress and starts running around in what is basically underwear. He is rather shocked.}}
* [[Ojou]]: Aura, who is boisterous, opinionated, and quick-tempered, and the princess of the Preveza clan.
* [[Passive -Aggressive Kombat]]: The first meeting between Jean-Hughes and Aura after she is kidnapped consists of them speaking in polite monotone while exchanging sentiments such as "It's hard to believe a beauty like you is also a dirty sea pirate."
* [[Pimped -Out Dress]]: Jean-Hughes gives Aura several to wear while she's being held hostage. She thinks they're ugly. Overlapping with [[Go -Go Enslavement]].
* [[Plucky Girl]]: Aura.
* [[Rebellious Princess]]: Aura is one at times, to the point where {{spoiler|Canale knocks her out during a major attempt to ''rescue'' her because she refuses to leave without him and place her safety above his}}. In a twist on the usual pattern, she thinks she is [[The Hero]]'s love interest, until Ayace callously tells her she can't marry Canale because "Canale belongs to me."
Line 54:
* [[Sealed With a Kiss]]: The ending, [[Boys Love|naturally]].
* [[Secret Underground Passage]]: There's one beneath Sesaam's bed that allows Canale to escape after murdering him and another {{spoiler|in one of the rooms of the D'Aubigne mansion, which Canale discovered when he still had his eyesight and uses to rescue Aura.}}
* [[Self -Fulfilling Prophecy]]: {{spoiler|Canale delivers an angry speech over how the prophecy about him being the "devil's child" who will wreak "destruction on towns and cities" was rubbish and how his family's reaction to it led to him becoming such a destructive force in the first place.}}
* [[Sheath Strike]]: Because he is afraid of killing more than he already has, when Canale is challenged to a duel by Shirokko he fights mostly with his sword sheathed.
* [[Sibling Incest]]: When Jean-Hughes saves Canale from being raped, he can't stop imagining himself doing the exact same thing, but pins the blame on Canale and loathes him even more.
* [[Sibling Rivalry]]: [[Cain and Abel|Canale and Jean-Hughes]], to say the least. Leti and Aura demonstrate a healthier version, and to some extent Aura and Ayace, despite not being blood related.
* [[So Beautiful ItsIt's a Curse]]: Canale's strange beauty is one of the causes for [[Even the Guys Want Him|his]] [[Boomerang Bigot|troubles]].
* [[Swashbuckler]]: Corsair is essentially a [[Boys Love]] [[Swashbuckler]], heavier on the [[Grey and Grey Morality|grey morality]].
* [[Split Screen Reaction]]: When Ayace suddenly announces his relationship with Canale during the middle of a dinner there is a splitscreen panel for everyone at the table, ranging from awkward to surprised to confused.
Line 67:
* [[Unlucky Childhood Friend]]: Aura to Canale. From {{spoiler|Jean-Hughes point of view he is this to Katarina, who liked Canale too. And more [[Sibling Incest|creepily himself to Canale]].}}
* [[The Vamp]]: Several people treat Canale as one, mostly to [[Boomerang Bigot|defer]] their guilty feelings of desire for him. [[The Woobie|Poor guy]]. Surprisingly, ''Ayace'' is the one who has the grace to point out that if he is seduced then he is a fool who cannot control himself.
* [[Victim Falls For Rapist]]: [[Zig Zagging Trope|Oh boy]]. People have been trying (and succeeding) to rape Canale since he was seven years old, but despite the fact that [[ItsIt's Not Rape If You Enjoyed It|he enjoyed it]] it's still seen as [[Rape As Drama|as traumatic]] [[Rape As Backstory|by Canale]]. Both Sesaam and Ayace, other the other hand, play [[Victim Falls For Rapist]] perfectly straight, as for no apparent reason Canale distinguishes between them and the others. Further complicating things is Ayace's [[Kick the Dog]] moment when he goes [[Crazy Jealous Guy]] and assaults Canale in Pisare, leaving him feeling utterly betrayed. But then they make up. In general this manga is very heavy on the dub con.
* [[Wrong Name Outburst]]: Canale does this twice with the people in question in reverse. Amusingly he's more upset about it than either Ayace (in chapter 4) or Sesaam (in chapter 11) are.
* [[Yank the DogsDog's Chain]]: Canale finally feels like he has a place in Preveza and thinks that Ayace might actually love him and that they can be happy together. As soon as Ayace suspects he is going back to Sesaam, he becomes [[Crazy Jealous Guy|enraged]] and rapes Canale, making him feel utterly betrayed.
