The Familiar of Zero: Difference between revisions

* [[Bodyguard Crush]]: Familiars are summoned to protect their masters. Saito is a familiar and Louise is his master. Do the math.

* [[Bolivian Army Ending]]: Both Volume 2 and 7 end with a variation of this, though the ones at the receiving end are not the main characters. In Volume 2, the Albionian Royalists’ glorious last stand {{spoiler|got most of the wind knocked out of it after Prince Wales’ assassination, so they ended up getting ignobly massacred}}. Volume 7 closes with Cromwell, [[Bait and Switch Boss|up to then the main antagonist]], cheerfully greeting the “reinforcements” from the Gallian airship armada… {{spoiler|only to be bombarded and killed along the rest of the Reconquista army.}}

* [[Broken Bird]]: {{spoiler|Tabitha; more on [[Rags to Royalty]].}}

* [[Broken Pedestal]]: {{spoiler|Viscount Wardes}} is this towards Louise.

* [[Can't Live with Them, Can't Live Without Them]]: Pretty much the premise of the series.

** Taken to literal extremes in Volume 8 of the novel. {{spoiler|A depressed Louise is upset that even in a dream, she's unable to tell Saito she loves him. Deciding she can't leave him until she's said it at least once, she attempts suicide just to meet him again, only to be stopped by Siesta. Only to fall either way. Don't worry, they get out safe and sound... at Guiche's expense...}}

* [[Censor Steam]]: In the anime and light novels.

* [[Chains of Love]]: The second season ending theme, in lyrics and imagery.

* [[Happily Married]]: {{spoiler|Louise and Saito in the series finale of the Anime. The show ends with Louise using World Door to visit Earth with Saito to announce their marriage to his parents.}}

* [[Happiness in Slavery]]: Even after all the whipping and explosions Saito has suffered under Louise, he still loves her and steadfastly remains loyal and protective. Quite possibly best exemplified in the last episode of season one, where {{spoiler|instead of going home to his world, Saito throws away his only chance to help/save/stay with Louise}}, and the first episode of season three, when {{spoiler|the runes disappear from Saito's hand, meaning he is no longer Louise's familiar. Despite this, he promises to never leave, suggesting they can now live as a regular couple. Of course, Louise, being the tsundere she is, promptly blows him up}}.

* [[Harem Hero]]: Saito. How many girls are fighting on his side?

* [[Harem Series]]: While {{spoiler|Louise is the obvious [[First Girl Wins|winner]]}}, most of the women in the show have expressed interest in Saito at one time or another, {{spoiler|including newcomer [[The Quiet One]] Tabitha, [http://watchanimenow.com/video/zero-no-tsukaima-princesses-no-rondo-episode-12/ who seals his lips with a kiss.]}}
