Tears to Tiara: Difference between revisions

{{work}}

 

 

Based off the PC [[Visual Novel]] by Leaf. Later re-released for the PlayStation 3 with art and technical upgrades. The Anime aired in 2009 and is now available in North America by Sentai.

 

 

* [[Accidental Marriage]]: Arawn to his harem girls (though reduced to three in the anime). At least [[Utawarerumono|Hakuoro]] was just a [[Chick Magnet]].

* [[Achilles in His Tent]]: Or running through the woods [[Idiot Hero|like a dumbass]].

* [[Brainwashed and Crazy]]: {{spoiler|Arthur in episode 15}}.

* [[Call Back]]: Arawn is known as the "Great Demon King", presumably because he's {{spoiler|a [[Fallen Angel]]}}. Then a [[Flash Back]] reveals that {{spoiler|while Arawn was "dying" the first time, Pwyll utters the words: "...My friend. My Great King."}}.

* [[Cavalier Consumption]]: The characters pass around an apple while swordfighting in the [[Title Sequence]].

* [[Cherubic Choir]]: The [[Brown Note|Song of Creation]] {{spoiler|which Myrrdin uses to change the Ice Age into spring. Taliesin later uses it to stop a blizzard}}.

** The same can be said of {{spoiler|Rhiannon, who looks like an adult Primula, Pwyll's human wife.}}

*** Not surprising, considering that in the very beginning of the game, she tells Arawn that {{spoiler|her [[I Know Your True Name|true name]] is Primula.}}

* [[Lady of War]]: Octavia. Her self-proclaimed rival Lidia is more of an [[Ax Crazy]] [[Knight Templar]].

* [[Leeroy Jenkins]]: Arthur is worse off than [[Utawarerumono|Oboro]] in this, but at least he gets a clue quickly enough.

* [[Our Angels Are Different]]: The Twelve Angels {{spoiler|are responsible for the various Ages that end in [[Omnicidal Maniac|near-total annihilation]]: when the dominant race of that Age fails to meet their incredibly high standards (as in [[Fantastic Racism|keeping the races from developing enough such that they equal or even surpass the Angels in their "perfection"]]), [[The Purge|they wipe them out]] and start over. The only good Angels are Myrrdin and his son Arawn/Lucifer, who would replace Myrrdin as the Twelfth Angel, and the latter would earn his kin's ire for believing in allowing the "inferior" races to develop.}}

** Even their God Watos isn't on their side anymore {{spoiler|(Merkadis is defeated by a prayer that invokes [[Death From Above|an powerful ray of light from the heavens]], and Lector is pretty much doomed when Watos doesn't answer his pleas for help)}}. It is also hinted that the Angels do not know the true will of Watos and that {{spoiler|Arawn/Lucifer was specifically created by Watos to free the world from his kin's control before they find another reason to trigger apocalypse}}.

{{quote|'''Arawn:''' Kojirou > [[Tohru Ookawa]]

'''Arthur:''' Kotsuo Kishijima > Makoto Ishii

'''Morgan:''' Rie Tomigawa > [[Mai Nakahara]]

* {{spoiler|[[Satan Is Good]]: Arawn's true name is "Lucifer". The very beginning of the game shows a hint, as Rhiannon almost blurts his true name after figuring out that he is "Akaboshi" -- the Japanese name of Venus as the "morning star". [[Shown Their Work|Lucifer is also known as "Light-Bearer" and is attributed to Venus]]}}

* {{spoiler|[[She's a Man In Japan]]: Both Animax Asia and Sentai dubs mistakenly call [[Bifauxnen|Rathty]] a boy.}}

* [[Ship Tease]]: Taliesin and Epona.

* [[Shout-Out]]: Epona sells [[Memetic Mutation/Anime|red shoes at her shop, which she claims increases speed threefold]]. It bestows a [[Fragile Speedster]] effect on whoever wears them. In the PC version, the AI takes control of whoever is wearing those pair of shoes.
