Line 23:
* [[Cute Bruiser]]: In episode 5.
* [[Death By Origin Story]]
* [[Dissonant Serenity]]/[[Stepford Smiler]]: Attempted to use this in order to curve-ball Miku's interest in...[[Is That What
* [[Doomed Protagonist]]: Hibiki is shown to have expired some time before the events of the story and what we're seeing are the events leading to her death. {{spoiler|Ultimately subverted in the end, ''big time!''}}
* [[Even the Girls Want Her]]: Miku and Ryoko ''certainly think so.''
Line 29:
** Half her body after grabbing Durandal for the first time
** Her ''whole body'' becomes framed in shadow, when {{spoiler|she goes into berserk mode during episode 12.}}
* [[Frickin' Laser Beams]]: In episode 12.
* [[Foregone Conclusion]]: {{spoiler|Not really.}}
* [[Glowing Eyes of Doom]]:
** When she gets really angry in Episode 3.
** While wielding {{spoiler|Durandal}} her eyes turn [[Red Eyes Take Warning|red]]
* [[Hey
* [[Ironic Echo]]: [[Stealth Pun|It makes]] [[Fridge Brilliance|perfect sense]] when you think about it: {{spoiler|Hibiki references her predecessor: Kanade}}.
* [[Its Not You Its My Enemies]]: Hibiki's relationship with Miku become strained after Hibiki become a superheroine. However, Miku will always support Hibiki. [[Les Yay|Aww.]]
* [[Naive Newcomer]]
* [[
* [[New Powers As the Plot Demands]]: {{spoiler|In episode 8, she activates a power that causes her to move even faster than before.}}
* [[Painful Transformation]]: At the end of the first episode, Hibiki activates for the first time her Symphogear and huge mechanical parts burst randomly from her body while she screams. It's surprisingly reminiscent of [[FLCL|a similar situation]].
* [[Power Fist]]: In an interesting take on this trope, it's because she can't make a [[Kamehame Hadoken]]. (This was after a training with an [[Street Fighter|Akuma]]-esque master.)
* [[Red Oni, Blue Oni|Red Oni]]: To Tsubasa
* {{spoiler|[[Super
* [[Taking Up the Mantle]]: She accidentally inherits the Gungnir relic from her previous owner.
* [[Took a Level In Badass]]: Hibiki eventually just stops trying to summon her Armed Gear and asks Genjurou to train her. She then beats a baddie, {{spoiler|Chris}}, that took ''almost'' a [[Heroic Sacrifice]] to stop the first time they met.
Line 64:
* [[BFS]] ''and'' [[Katanas Are Just Better]]: Her relic is Heavenrend, whose special moves manifest as all kind of blade attacks, from a building-sized sword to a [[Storm of Blades]] (One Thousand Tears) and a [[Sword Beam]] (Blue Flash, her [[Signature Move|most-used move]]).
** [[Up to Eleven]] in the finale, where Heavenrend takes on a form that could easily match most apartment complexes.
* [[Red Oni, Blue Oni|Blue Oni]]: To both Hibiki and Kanade.
* [[Broken Bird]]: Her cold fish attitude comes from having lost a partner.
* [[Chilly Reception]]: That [[Naive Newcomer]] won't ever replace her [[Dead Partner]].
Line 71:
* {{spoiler|[[Dead Partner]]: Kanade.}}
* {{spoiler|[[Decon Recon Switch]]: Her initial outlook was extremely grim and she saw herself as simply a weapon. Episode 7 flips that around and she fights for Kanade thanks to Hibiki.}}
* [[
* [[Expy]]: In her fighting gear, she looks like [[Xenosaga (Video Game)|KOS-MOS]]. The fact that Tsubasa is a highly-skilled, blue-haired stoic cool songstress may remind fans of [[The Idolmaster]] to Chihaya Kisaragi.
* {{spoiler|[[Fighting Your Friend]]: She won't accept Hibiki as a replacement for Kanade just because she has inherited her relic power. This caused her to throw the gauntlet at poor Hibiki.}}
Line 77:
* {{spoiler|[[Heroic Sacrifice]]: ''Three freakin' times...'' [[Not Quite Dead|(Though the last one may not be at all.)]]}}
** {{spoiler|''[[Death Is Cheap|...and she survived from all of them]]''}}
* [[Hey
* [[Hot Chick With a Sword]]
* [[Ice Queen]]
Line 84:
* [[Magic Idol Singer]]
* [[Not So Stoic]]
* [[Off
* [[She Fu]]: Tsubasa does a Capoeira like spin using the extra pair of blades on her legs.
** Not only that, but her general fighting style ''screams'' [[Street Fighter]].
* [[Shout Out]]: When she {{spoiler|bleeds from eyes and mouth when she executes her Ultimate Song against Nehushtan Armor}}, she looks almost like [[Puella Magi Madoka Magica|Miki Sayaka]] during her [[I Am a Monster|"I'm such a fool"]] moment. Jarring, because she normally doesn't make ''that'' kind of face, her [[The Stoic|emotional spectrum]] considered.
* [[Shrinking Violet]]/[[Shy Blue
* {{spoiler|[[Suicide Is Painless]]: She walk down and pull an almost-[[Heroic Sacrifice]] without even flinching, even ''after'' it expires.}}
* [[Tall, Dark and Bishoujo]]
* {{spoiler|[[Tears of Blood]]: In episode 4 combined with [[Blood From the Mouth]]}}
* [[There Are No Therapists]]: As a result, she still hasn't gotten over {{spoiler|Kanade's death}}.
Line 117:
* {{spoiler|[[Dead Star Walking]]}}
* [[Decoy Protagonist]]: After the first episode Hibiki takes the Gungnir relic and is the focus of the series.
* [[
* [[Expy]]: Of [[Crisis Core|Zack Fair]].
* [[Fiery Redhead]]
Line 125:
* [[Hot Blooded]]: She puts her whole heart in everything she does, be it revenge, song or protecting people.
* [[Magic Idol Singer]]
* [[
* [[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero]]: {{spoiler|While protecting Hibiki from The Noise, she accidentally sends a sharp chunk straight at her, spearing her through the chest, and nearly killing her. Two years later, this would become the reason Hibiki can use a Symphogear.}}
* {{spoiler|[[Posthumous Character]]}}: {{spoiler|After the first episode, she only appears [[Talking in Your Dreams]] and in flashbacks, but it happens almost in every episode.}}
* [[Psycho Serum]]: How the Symphogear research facility allow Gungnir to resonate with her. Initially, a small dose was given, but when that doesn't work, [[Up to Eleven|she decides to take the rest of it]].
* [[Red Oni, Blue Oni|Red Oni]]: To Tsubasa.
* [[Roaring Rampage of Revenge]]: Why Kanade took up the Gungnir Symphogear: her family was carbonized by the Noise. And she is utterly crazy in fighting. She does get less crazy after people thank them for saving their lives.
* [[Rookie Red Ranger]]: Both literally and per trope. Her power is still new, when compared to Tsubasa, who had hers for her whole life.
* [[Room Full of Crazy]]: After being released from her straitjacket (which was already crazy to begin with), she injects herself with an increased amount of [[Psycho Serum]]. This causes her to throw up an obscene amount of blood, blow every scientist to the walls, fall down to the floor, and [[Bread, Eggs, Milk, Squick|bang on the observation window with a bloodied hand]].
* {{spoiler|[[You Are Not Alone]]: Comforts Tsubasa by saying she will support her. [[Puella Magi Madoka Magica|Parallels to Madoka's relationship with Homura are noted]].}}
* [[You Gotta Have Blue Hair|You Gotta Have Red Hair]]
Line 153:
* {{spoiler|[[Imaginary Love Triangle]]: Creates a new relationship with Chris when she separated from Hibiki. And then went ''back'' to Hibiki in the same episode.}}
* [[Ironic Echo]]: Her use of consistently telling Hibiki about the shooting stars ends up being {{spoiler|denied at the last minute}}.
* [[Romantic Two
** [[Ship Tease]]: They cannot hide the fact that they are extremely close to each other.
*** {{spoiler|[[Ship Sinking]]: Torpedoes her and Hibiki's friendship during episode 7.}}
Line 176:
* [[Expy]] Genjuro is, appearance wise, a dead ringer for [[Gundam 00|Ali-Al Saachez.]]
* [[Fiery Redhead]]
* [[Hey
* {{spoiler|[[Impaled With Extreme Prejudice]]: By Phine, he survives.}}
* [[Large Ham]]
Line 182:
* [[Mr. Exposition]]: Justified, since he is the leader of the research group. Otherwise, he would leave this trope to Ryoko.
* [[Real Men Wear Pink]]: He wears a pink tie.
* [[Red Oni, Blue Oni|Red Oni]] to most of his agency.
* [[Screw the Rules, I Make Them]]: {{spoiler|He decides to stop Tsubasa from fighting Hibiki with a [[Memetic Mutation|FALCON PAWNCH]]}}.
* [[Shout Out]]: At some point in the episode 4 [[Training Montage]], Genjuro looks exactly like [[Street Fighter|Akuma/Gouki]]. Considering his [[Badass|Badassery]], that's not much of an exaggeration.
** Also in the montage, he and Hibiki wear [[Bruce Lee]]'s iconic yellow-and-black jumpsuit while training after watching one of his films.
Line 196:
----
* [[Ambiguously Gay|Ambiguously Lesbian]]: Has a thing for Hibiki and is ''very open'' about it.
** It doesn't help when she bites Hibiki's ear and then tells her that she ''will be'' the first to [[Does This Remind You of Anything?|pop her cherry.]]
* {{spoiler|[[Barrier Warrior]]}}: As revealed in episode 5.
* [[Beehive Hairdo]]
Line 204:
* [[Every Girl Is Cuter With Hair Decs]]: Wears a nice little butterfly thing in her [[Beehive Hairdo]].
* {{spoiler|[[Grand Theft Me]]: The real Ryoko had her personality overridden twelve years ago, when a young Tsubasa activated a relic with her singing.}}
* [[Hey
* [[Hot Scientist]]: Oh yeah!
* [[Ms. Exposition]]: Since she's the lead researcher and developer for a Symphogear theory ([[Egopolis|which she named after herself]]), this allows her to explain everything after Hibiki settles down.
Line 219:
The first primary antagonist shown in the series. A Bishoujo with incredible power. Uses a Whip-like weapon and can [[Mook Maker|summon Mooks to perform her duties]].
----
* {{spoiler|[[Anti
* [[Artifact Title]]: "The Nehushtan Armor" was [[A Worldwide Punomenon|her fan name]] before her actual name was revealed. {{spoiler|She would ditch the armor after Phine rejects her.}}
* [[Broken Bird]]
Line 232:
* [[Mook Maker]]: It's the armor's weapon that allows her to do so.
* [[More Dakka]]: {{spoiler|Her new Symphogear Ichii-Bal form is loaded with [[Gatling Good]], missile salvos, and [[Bifurcated Weapon|Bifurcated Crossbows]] [[HSQ]]!}}
** [[Frickin' Laser Beams]]
** [[Macross Missile Massacre]]: Megadeath Quartet. Taken [[Up to Eleven]] in the finale, where she sports enough cruise missiles to make a battleship jealous.
* [[My God, What Have I Done?]]: She breaks down in tears after knowing firsthand that {{spoiler|the Noise, which she had the capability to field en masse, are really harming the bystanders}}. [[Heel Face Turn|Then she decides to save the day.]]
* [[Oh Crap]]: {{spoiler|Sends Mooks in order to stop Tsubasa. The camera cuts to the Mooks, and then to Tsubasa right in front of her}}.
** {{spoiler|And again when Hibiki swings Durandal in her direction.}}
* {{spoiler|[[Perspective Flip]]: Episode 5 shows that she is abused and tortured by her superior. Failing to capture Hibiki resulted in her being electrified. It is even surprising that she was able to ''walk'' later on in the episode.}}
* [[Pink Means Feminine]]: Both her and that stone shown in earlier episodes have the diamond-like [[Buffy
* {{spoiler|[[Red Oni, Blue Oni|Red Oni]]: Her Symphogear is red on black, which directly contrasts Tsubasa's blue on white. Apparently, the Nehushtan Armor is exactly that, maybe nothing more}}.
* [[Screw This, I'm Outta Here]]: {{spoiler|Decides to leave at the peak of her battle with Tsubasa.}}
* [[Transformation Is a Free Action]]: [[Subverted]]! It seems that she'll transform uninterrupted in episode 8, but suddenly the Noise make a charge at her. {{spoiler|Thankfully, Genjuro appears and punch the asphalt to raise an ad hoc barrier before they can touch her.}}
* [[Tsundere]]: {{spoiler|After her [[Heel Face Turn]].}}
Line 246:
* [[Villainous Breakdown]]: Somewhat literally. {{spoiler|When Tsubasa uses her Ultimate Song, it creates veins on her skin and does massive damage to her own armor, which she promptly goes into [[Oh Crap]] mode [[Get Back Here Boss|and retreats from battle]]. It supposedly doesn't kill her off, but it caused one hell of a [[Tsundere]] tendency.}}
* {{spoiler|[[Villain Protagonist]]:}} Shaping up to be one slowly as the series progresses.
* [[Well
* [[What Is This Thing You Call Love?]]: Her way of thinking has some nice changes in Episode 7. She decides to help a brother and sister find their father, and she later asks them how do they get along with each so well. Their answer is something like [[Slap Slap Kiss]].
* [[White
* [[Whip It Good]]: The power of the Nehushtan armor.
Line 263:
* [[Full Frontal Assault]]: Attacks {{spoiler|Chris}} while naked, but then activates her Symphogear.
* {{spoiler|[[Genetic Memory]]: How she bodyjacked Ryoko twelve years ago.}}
* [[Hey
* [[Ms. Fanservice]]: She lounges around nude and wears the most [[Stripperiffic]] Symphogear.
* [[Mook Maker]]: Uses Chris's weapon very often.
* [[Refuge in Audacity]]: Is able to be [[Male Gaze|completely naked with no censors]].
* {{spoiler|[[Significant Double Casting]]: Ryoko and Phine are the same person.}}
* [[Spell My Name With an "S"]]: The fansubs spell her name as "Finé", official subs call her Phine.
* {{spoiler|[[Woman Scorned]]: By God, of all deities.}}
* [[Yandere]]
