Line 21:
* [[Ambiguously Human]]: it is never specified what Vucub-Caquix and his sons really are, same with Hunahpú and Ixbalanqué and most characters.
* [[Arc Number]]: the quiché ''really'' liked the number 2. They loved it almost as much as they loved number 4.
* [[Ascend to Aa Higher Plane of Existence]]: Hunahpú and Ixbalanqué, as well as the 400 young men.
* [[Badass]]: Hunahpú and Ixbalanqué. Going to the underworld with nothing but a slingshot.
* [[Blue and Orange Morality]]: not as prevalent as with the aztecs, but the quiché still made their share of human sacrifice.
Line 28:
* [[Downer Ending]]: the quiché civilization is conquered and most of their beliefs are forgotten after they are converted.
* [[Evil Is Petty]]: Vucub-Caquix and sons.
* [[Hijacked Byby Jesus]]: not as prevalent as one may think for an indian work post-conquest, but some similarities are jarring. Women are created while men sleep, the mother of the hero is a virgin, etc.
* [[Loads and Loads of Characters]]: counting all the secondary gods, the gods that helped in the different creations of humans and the lineages you get quite the list.
* [[Rule of Three]]: if you count their first attempt trying to make animals into talking, thinking and praising them, Tepeu and Gucumatz do not succeed into making real humans until their third time.
