Koihime Musou/Characters: Difference between revisions

* [[Hollywood Pudgy]] - While she doesn't look any visibly heavier since the ''Shin Koihime'' anime, {{spoiler|Ryuubi freaks-out over Chouhi saying how soft her lap feels in ''Otome Tairan''. She decides to try dieting and exercising to lose the extra weight, but due to poor self-control and physical weakness, her efforts don't go as planned. After attempting to starve herself, she just can't take it anymore and finally gives in. Although the unhealthy dieting and exercising ceases, Ryuubi continues to worry about her weight}}. Also fits as [[Truth in Television]]

* [[Hypocritical Humor]] - After getting ambushed by bandits, Ryuubi states she's smart enough not to be a [[Distressed Damsel]] again. Seconds later, she's back into the role

* [[Stealth Clothes]] - when she's raiding the pantry after her failed diet

=== Kannu (Private name: Aisha; Courtesy name: Unchou; Expy: Guan Yu) ===

* [[Idiots Cannot Catch Colds]] - She attempts to prove this theory at the end of season one; it doesn't work.

* [[Innocent Fanservice Girl]] - Arguably, which usually leads to Kannu asking her to [[Please Put Some Clothes On]]

* [[Little Miss Badass]]

* [[Too Many Belts]] - two overlapping, both purely ornamental given her skin-tight spats.

* [[Foe-Tossing Charge]] - Gets to pull one off in the first season finale

* [[Mysterious Protector]], [[Paper-Thin Disguise]] - Played with; unfortunately, it doesn't work out too well

* [[See You in Hell]] - Said to Kannu before facing off against an overwhelming force of bandits on a very narrow cliff; fortunately, they get out of it

* [[Tall, Dark and Bishoujo]]

** {{spoiler|And she's proven herself yet hotter still in the ''Shin Koihime'' OVA by donning an [[Barely-There Swimwear|ultra-skimpy bikini]] that, among other things, shows a lot of cleavage and a lot of [[Underboobs]]. And it gets topped off when Riri proves to be more than a little naughty by playfully ripping her own mom's bikini top off!}}

* [[Rant-Inducing Slight]] - In her rant on how she's going to torture {{spoiler|the fake Ryuubi}}, complete with demonic [[Facial Markings]]

=== Gengan (Private name: Kikyo; Courtesy name: N/A; Expy: Yan Yan) ===

* [[Bunny Ears Lawyer]] - Despite being a district lord, Gengan doen't seem like someone to be taken seriously. Lampshaded by the girls in ''Otome Tairan'', yet Gengan simply laughs it off

 

=== Sousou (Private name: Karin; Courtesy name: Motoku; Expy: Cao Cao) ===

* [[Dress Hits Floor]]

* [[Ensemble Darkhorse]] - Somewhat: her antics in the ''Shin Koihime'' anime has elevated her to considerable levels

* [[Foot Focus]]

* [[Insufferable Genius]] - In the original game, Sousou spends her time after her defeat in intellectual pursuits. She reads Shu's entire Royal Library, cooks delicious food just by observation, builds a distillery from scratch just by reading a book and annotates Sun Tzu just for fun. She also constantly reminds Kazuto how superior she is to him and to everyone else really. She spent an entire day criticising food stalls and showing the cooks how its really done.

* [[Jerkass Facade]] - Sousou pretends to be the [[Rich Bitch]] to hide her nice side, especially evident in the story with Bachou and her father; by the final episode of season one, she even fulfills the [[Tsundere]] requirements

* [[Hyperspace]] [[Epic Flail|Flail]] - Lampshaded in the anime whenever she brings it out, people stare in shock and verbally wonder where the hell she pulls out the damn weapon.

** And if you look closely, you'll notice it's actually a kendama.

=== Kakuka (Private name: Rin; Courtesy name: Houkou; Expy: Guo Jia) ===

* [[Mistaken for Dying]] - Her personal [[Running Gag]]: if she thinks of the slightest perverted thought, a [[Nosebleed]] ensues, leading to [[High-Pressure Blood]]. So frequently, in fact, she's often found passed out on the ground in a pool of blood, [[Mistaken for Dying]]

=== Riten (Private name: Mao; Courtesy name: Mansei; Expy: Li Dian) ===

* [[Wrench Wench]] - At least by appearance (it's not known exactly what she works on); made hotter by her breasts (which is HUGE for her build) and her [[Stripperiffic]] outfit

** {{spoiler|In ''Otome Tairan'' she builds a [[Deceptively-Human Robots|robot duplicate]] of Toutaku that somehow fools Ryofu. And at the end of the season, she builds another based on Sousou, which Kakoton ends up [[Robosexual|cuddling]].}}

=== Ukin (Private name: Sawa; Courtesy name: Bunsoku; Expy: Yu Jin) ===

* {{spoiler|[[Killed Off for Real]]}} - In the first visual novel.

* [[Late Arrival Spoiler]] - In a next episode preview of season one, Kayuu claims the right to announce the episode title because she's going to "die early". In case you didn't know, Hua Xiong ''did'' die early in the original epic.

* [[White-Haired Pretty Girl]]

=== Ryoufu (Private name: Ren; Courtesy name: Hosen; Expy: Lu Bu) ===

* [[Screw the Money, I Have Rules]] - Chouryou defects against the debt collectors that hire her, because they're simply swindlers and she has her honor

* [[Spikes of Villainy]] - Her ''hairband'', though she isn't entirely evil...just doing her job

** {{spoiler|She eventually does this as well in ''Otome Tairan'', and is last seen trying to feed Kannu before being interrupted by Ryuubi.}}

** the Chouryou/Kayuu pairing is subverted, depending on which sub of the second OVA is watched

* [[To Be a Master]] - Chouryou has stated that she fights to prove that she is the strongest warrior

* [[The Faceless]]: {{spoiler|Averted: Achieving the harem ending of the first game reveals his face in full, as do a number of scenes in the sequels.}}

* [[Harem Hero]]: A mix of Type 1 and Type 2A

* [[Horrible Judge of Character]]: Invoked by his allies, {{spoiler|but ultimately subverted as this proves to be his trump card.}}

* [[Informed Attractiveness]]: Subverted: nearly all the girls state Kazuto isn't the most attractive guy around

* [[Norio Wakamoto]] ('''My God'''...)

=== Kada Genka (Private name: N/A; Courtesy name: N/A; Expy: Hua Tuo) ===

* [[Combat Medic]] - While he's primarily a doctor, he does kick some ass in the final battle of ''Otome Tairan''

* [[Hot-Blooded]]

* [[The One Guy]] - During the ''Shin Koihime'' anime finale, and again in the ''Otome Tairan'' finale

* [[This Is Sparta]] - Kada insists the name of the guild he's affiliated with be called out in the loudest and most dramatic fashion every time. Lampshaded in the following dialogue:

Kannu: So, Shuri, what is the Way... I mean, '''[[Large Ham|THE WAY OF FIVE GRAINS!!]]''' all about? }}

* [[This Trope Is Bleep]] - In the ''Shin Koihime'' anime, Kada diagnoses Sousou's illness, which turns out to be constipation. He initially recommends surgery, but Sousou refuses; when he describes an alternative treatment through use of acupuncture needles, it contains rather gratuitous connotations, thus a great number of words are censored. Whatever they were, Sousou was definitely [[Berserk Button|not amused]]

=== Himiko (Private name: N/A; Courtesy name: N/A; Expy: Himiko/Pimiko) ===

=== Riri (Private name: N/A; Courtesy name: N/A; Expy: Xu) ===
