(added "Audience-Alienating Premise")
Line 2:
* [[Abandon Shipping]]: Many bailed on the Louise/Saito ship after {{spoiler|Louise beats him with a whip until he falls unconscious, and Saito tries to undress her ''while she's sleeping''.}}
* [[Angst? What Angst?]]: [[Deconstructed]] but not at first glance. {{spoiler|It is only when the brainwashing effect of the summoning contract starting to wear off when Saito's [[Angst]] begins.}}
* [[Audience-Alienating Premise]]: ''[[The Familiar of Zero]]'' actually ''evolved'' into this trope, due to the [[Flanderization]] of its main characters from "[[Ordinary High School Student]] [[Trapped in Another World]]" and "[[Tsundere]]-ish [[Cute Witch]]" into "[[I'm a Man, I Can't Help It|Perverted Jerkass]]" and "[[Bastard Girlfriend|Psychopathic Sadistic Tsundere]]" respectively.
* [[Canon Sue]]: Tabitha's long lost twin sister, who seems to have been created from a checklist of [[Mary Sue]] cliches.
* [[Colbert Bump]]: The series recently saw a ''huge'' upswing in popularity on the Spacebattles Creative Writing board after ''[[The Hill of Swords]]'' showed up on the Fanfiction Recommendations thread; prior to that, it had been an almost complete unknown in the community, now ZnT fanfic threads have practically taken over the board.
Line 32 ⟶ 33:
* [[What an Idiot!]]: Saito still hasn't figured out that commenting about large breasts (or her [[Pettanko|lack thereof]]) around [[Tsundere|Louise]] is a bad idea.
* [[The Woobie]]: You really can't help but feel sorry for Saito because of the abuse heaped upon him by Louise. Hell, even the other familiars feel sorry for Saito, and see his treatment as both a familiar and a human as horrible. Tabitha qualifies too, once you learn of {{spoiler|what happened to her parents}}.
** Louise in the light novels if you can look past her treatment of Saito. She has a HUGE''huge'' insecurity complex.
