Star Driver: Difference between revisions

Line 78:

** Kanako's [[Cool Ship]]. Good for evacuations.

* [[Chekhov's Gunman]]: Mizuno is first seen riding a bus with the North Maiden, Wako, and the class president. We don't find out her name an importance until later. Canny viewers {{spoiler|realized that these were all four Maidens}}.

* [[The Chosen One]]s: Takuto and all other pilots with "true marks" can be called "Galactic Pretty Boys". Even women.

* [[The Chosen One]]s: Takuto and all other pilots with "true marks" can be called "Galactic Pretty Boys". Even women. (Note that shounen in Japanese usually refers to boys, but can also refer to women, usually in the collective sense.)

* [[Clark Kenting]]: The real identities of Glittering Crux members appear to fall under this.

* [[Color Coded for Your Convenience]]: The main [[Power Trio]] correspond to the primary colors.

Line 94:

** Whatever the Entropeople are and who that second, boyish voice {{spoiler|Sarina}} speaks with are not explained.

* [[Custom Uniform of Sexy]]: Most of the important characters/cybody pilots among the Glittering Crux Brigade get a custom uniform. The number of them that ''aren't'' [[Stripperiffic]] can be counted on one hand.

* [[Monster of the Week|Cybody Pilot Of ~~The~~ Week]]: Played with in that some members of the Glittering Star get a rematch with Takuto.

* [[Monster of the Week|Cybody Pilot of the Week]]: Played with in that some members of the Glittering Star get a rematch with Takuto.

* [[Dance Battler]]: Takuto in the Tauburn.

* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: Benio has her moments, especially when watching show-off fights in Zero Time. And Sugata, who nonchalantly invokes topics like [[Sacred First Kiss]] or what Takuto might do when meeting with a mysterious girl.

Line 103:

** Boy, there sure are a lot of guys queuing up to break Wako's 'seal', aren't there?

** The maidens having to be nude to be the power source of the [[Asura Cryin|mech]].

** The end of episode 8, {{spoiler|what with all that prolonged, synchronized panting from Takuto and Sugata...}}

** Then there's Head in episode 16, where he talks about people with weak marks "wither" in sight of his "sword"... A more disturbing instance would be {{spoiler|Mizuno's panicking when Head was about to break the West seal}}

* [[Don't Try This At Home]]:

** "Please do not attempt [riding on top of a bus] if you are not a Southern Cross Isle resident".

Line 113:

{{spoiler|'''Shingo''': Really? Then fine. I'll give mine to you.}} }}

* [[Downer Ending]]:

** Not to the show itself ~~(at least, not yet)~~, but {{spoiler|the fish girl's story ends with Sam killing his girlfriend in order to achieve his dream of flying out into the galaxy, and once he gets there he finds it not as amazing as he'd hoped}}.

** Not to the show itself, but {{spoiler|the fish girl's story ends with Sam killing his girlfriend in order to achieve his dream of flying out into the galaxy, and once he gets there he finds it not as amazing as he'd hoped}}.

* [[Dramatic Pause]]: After {{spoiler|Takuto's and Sugata's fight in Zero Time}}, a good half-minute is used for a scene of them just panting heavily.

* [[Dramatic Pause]]: After {{spoiler|Takuto's and Sugata's fight in Zero Time}}, a good half-minute is used for a scene of the two of them just panting heavily. May also qualify as [[Ho Yay]].

* [[Dramatic Wind]]: This happens when Takuto confronts Sugata in Episode 8.

* [[Dude, She's Like, in a Coma]]: Sugata ''appears'' to {{spoiler|kiss Wako in her sleep}} in Episode 20, but it's very ambiguous.

Line 205:

* [[May–December Romance]]: Mr. Watanabe is 65. Mrs. Watanabe is 15.

* [[Meaningful Name]]:

** [[Neon Genesis Evangelion|Eva]] uses Christianity, [[RahXephon]] uses Mayan...Star Driver uses Phoenician. Pretty much every Star Driver's name has a connection to the Phoenician letter their Cybody is named after. ''Tsunashi'' can be written as 十 (he wears a Tau, hence Tauburn, which means "mark"), ''Sugata'' can be written as 丰, and ''Agemaki'' can be written as 丫. Sakana-chan (Fish-girl in the translation) is so named because her mark, "Nun", means "fish." {{spoiler|Yet another clue before the reveal of Keito as the East Maiden was that ''Nichi'' is written as 日, which looks just like the ~~Phoenician~~ letter ''heth'' (meaning "wall" in Phoenician).}}

''Tsunashi'' can be written as 十 (he wears a Tau 𐤕, hence Tauburn, which means "mark"), ''Sugata'' can be written as 丰 (Samek 𐤎, which is suspiciously close to 王 king), and ''Agemaki'' can be written as 丫 (waw 𐤅, which would make her name waw-girl). Sakana-chan (Fish-girl in the translation) is so named because her mark, 𐤍 "Nun", means "fish." {{spoiler|Yet another clue before the reveal of Keito as the East Maiden was that ''Nichi'' is written as 日, which looks just like the letter 𐤇 ''heth'' (meaning "wall" in Phoenician).}} There are a lot of [[Fridge Logic]] spoilers like that, like how the Driver wearing 𐤓‬ {{spoiler|signs paintings with an}} R.

** In the play in episode 22, the main trio are playing characters named after the ''English'' translation of their letters. Takuto is ''Mark'', Sugata is ''Columner'' (Column/Pillar), and Wako is ''Kleis'' (feminine form of Klaus, which sounds like 'Claws' which are ''hook'' shaped.)

* [[Meganekko]]: Okamoto-sensei and Sugata's maids.
