Line 71:
{{quote| Rihan: {{spoiler|Ho...So in addition to your habit of swinging them around when you think the person is an enemy, your weapons actually shrink when you feel pressurized!}}<br />
Kuro: {{spoiler|Will you stop it! And you're drinking already?!}} }}
* [[Dragon Withwith an Agenda]]: {{spoiler|Minagoroshi Jizou}} to Hagoromo Kitsune and the Kyoto youkai, assisting their efforts to successfully reincarnate the Nue/{{spoiler|Abe No Seimei}} in order to give him Maou's Hammer in accordance with {{spoiler|Sanmoto Gorouzaemon's deal with him}}, for the purpose of furthering the plans of the {{spoiler|Hundred Tales clan}}.
* [[Driven to Suicide]]: Implied with {{spoiler|Rihan first wife, Yamabuki Otome who couldn't bear his children due to Gitsune's curse. When her memory returns after the Kyoto battle, she tells Rikuo that he's the son they should've had.}}
* [[Dungeon Bypass]]: Chapter 170 {{spoiler|Torii and Maki display [[Genre Savvy]] by hiding with a group of girls in a place where Mook Youkai can't enter without permission. So, the one making the Youkai simply turns the walls and windows into Youkai, bypassing the permission thing.}}
Line 124:
* [[Idiot Hero]]: Averted, Rikuo is something of a proto [[Magnificent Bastard]]. He uses his cunning as his main weapon while in human form. The conference to {{spoiler|determine the Nura clan successor, where Rikuo manipulates his main opponent into embarrassing himself, is a particularly good example}}.
* [[I Was Quite a Looker]]: The last 400 years weren't very kind on Nurarihyon
* [[The Jimmy Hart Version]]: Portions of the background music seem directly ripped from the [[Harry Potter (Filmfilm)|Harry Potter]] theme...
* [[Knight Templar]] : Some of the Onmyouji.
** {{spoiler|The humans who attack Rikuo thinking that killing him will save the world.}}
Line 147:
** Also the Gyuuki clan: Gyuuki, Gozumaru, and Mezumaru.
* [[Playing Drunk]]: Rihan, once, during the Hundred Tales arc.
* [[Playing Withwith Fire]]: One of Rikuo's techniques is to ignite a bowl of sacred sake, and breathe lightly into it, causing fire to go everywhere. As long there are ripples in the bowl the fire will keep burning.
* [[Posthumous Character]]: Rihan. He is dead by the time the series start, yet he is an important point in the plot.
* [[Pregnant Badass]]: Hagoromo-Gitsune, arguably.
Line 161:
* [[School Uniforms Are the New Black]]: Hagoromo Gitsune takes it literally and [http://www.mangafox.com/manga/nurarihyon_no_mago/c124/12.html beyond]:
{{quote| I will fill this world with something pure. Pure black, like these black eyes, this black hair, and black clothes...}}
* [[Sealed Evil in Aa Can]]: When Hagoromo Gitsune the seals in Kyoto, she manages to uncover many yokai that were imprisoned by them, who then join her army. She's a can herself, considering she contains a ''nue''. Also somewhat inverted with Karasu-tengu in Chapter 154.
* [[Ship Tease]]: Rikuo and Tsurara has a few of them, but chapter 136 in particular is really strong, {{spoiler|Rikuo appears to pick her up while it was snowing and [[Together Umbrella|share an umbrella]] together}}
* [[Shirtless Scene]]: Young Nurarihyon is naked from the torso up while fighting against Hagoromo Gitsune. Rikuo also does this in his fight against Tsuchigumo
* [[Stalker Withwith a Crush]]: Sort of. {{spoiler|Rikuo's grandfather did watch Rikuo's grandmother for a while from the shadows, eventually falling for her and deciding to marry her despite her being human and him being a youkai.}} And theoretically Tsurara, but she follows him because she is Rikuo's bodyguard, so it's more a case of [[Subordinate Excuse]].
* [[Snakes Are Sexy]]: Averted with Hebidayu's human-like form.
* [[Storming the Castle]]: Rikuo and the Nura clan marches on Nijou Castle in chapter 117.
Line 179:
* [[Transhuman Treachery]]: {{spoiler|Akifusa of the Onmyouji seems to be on the side of the youkai, but it turns out a yokai was controlling his mind}}.
* [[Trickster Archetype]]: Rikuo, his grandpa and many youkai fit this. Naturally.
* [[Undying Loyalty]]: A common trait of several characters, both heroes and villains. Just take a look at [[Nurarihyon no Mago (Manga)/Characters|the character page]].
* [[Ungrateful Bastard]]: {{spoiler|The first thing Abe no Seimei does after being reborn is toss his mother, who has endured countless reincarnations, ''into hell''. Apparently becoming leader of all the Youkai in Japan requires you to be just ''that'' evil.}}
** The humans that Rikuo saves in chapter 162.
