Line 24:
* [[Bandage Mummy]]: Shinuhe's standard getup. He's even written Egyptian burial prayers on the inside of his bandages. It's unclear whether he was just horribly burned, or if he is an actual Egyptian mummy brought to Japan in the Edo period and brought to life by Nire Ritual--he has claimed both as explanations for his getup.
* [[Barbie Doll Anatomy]]: Averted.
* [[Blessed
** Karatsu can talk with the dead. While this makes him the linchpin of the 'Corpse' part of the Kurosagi Delivery Service, it has given him alienation issues.
** Later in the series another character shows up who has the same ability, albeit more limited.
Line 32:
* [[Bunny Ears Lawyer]]: Shinuhe. Having burns is all well and good, but he apparently ''enjoys'' dressing like an Egyptian mummy.
** Unless he actually ''is'' one.
* [[Bury Me Not
* [[Came Back Wrong]]: {{spoiler|The first Nire storyline has a girl that can revivify the recently dead, but not very well. They turn into vengeful zombies, which usually doesn't come up, given what Nire actually uses the bodies for...}}
* [[Captain Obvious]]/[[Understatement]]: The [[Mad Doctor]], surrounded by the animated (and angry) corpses of his victims: "No... This isn't right."
Line 49:
* [[Driven to Suicide]]: Several of the service's clients are suicides, including their very first.
* [[Drop-Dead Gorgeous]]: See [[Fan Disservice]].
* [[Due to
* [[Dysfunction Junction]]: {{spoiler|So far we've one whose entire immediate family (except one sister) was murdered, one who lost his sister and both parents to a murder-suicide and barely survived, one whose mother committed suicide in front of her, one whose parents and older brother 'disappeared' (and later discovers where their corpses are buried, but is unable to retrieve them) and the [[Blessed
* [[Elegant Gothic Lolita]]: Makino tends to go for this look.
* [[Evil Phone]]: Who knew insurance salesmen could be so deadly?
Line 98:
* [[Older Than They Look]]: Jenny Kayama, Sasaki's professor. She looks as young as her student, but she's actually ''Sasayama's'' age.
* [[Parental Abandonment]]: All of the Kurosagi crew, except possibly Karatsu, suffer from this in one form or another. {{spoiler|In Volume Eleven, it's hypothesized that having your parents die violently when you're a small child increases your chance of developing odd abilities.}}
* [[Peek
* [[Perpetual Poverty]]: They're good at what they do. They aren't that good at doing anything else, which means they have to resort to odd jobs when the bodies dry up.
* [[Powers Via Possession]]:
Line 113:
** Yata also has a few shout outs to ''[[Star Wars]]'', including a Darth Vader cellphone charm.
{{quote| Yata: (wielding a lightsaber) [[The Empire Strikes Back|You'll find I'm full of surprises!]]}}
** The one with the otaku-bot features the [[Berserk
* [[Show Within a Show]]: The anime/manga ''Magical Maid Girl Mumume-tan'', whose lead character Makino sometimes [[Cosplay|cosplays]].
* [[Shown Their Work]]:
Line 134:
* [[Weirdness Magnet]]: Sasayama has a reputation for this, especially in his last job. He's able to get away with -- and help the corpse delivery service with -- a lot of unusual things because people know that weird stuff just happens to him.
* [[Widget Series]]: The real-life "weird Japanese things" are almost as weird as the series itself.
* [[Zeerust]]: The Habama cryogenics corporation, which ran a cryogenics scam in the eighties, had an ad that claims that [[Escape
