Line 268:
* [[Design Student's Orgasm]]: The OPs for both seasons feature some incredibly detailed and stylistic art.
* [[Determinator]]: Keima has (and this is an incomplete list) jumped off buildings, been beaten up (multiple times), has taken jobs working at things he knows nothing about, entered a dojo, and even more extreme things, in order to get the SECOND most important thing in his life- the capture in Real Life. For the Gaming Capture he goes to even greater extremes- using a technique that makes him feel like he loses three years of his life for every hour that he uses it for. It's fair to say that little will stop him getting what he wants.
* [[ThemeDiegetic TuneTheme Cameo]]: ''Abused'' to no end in S2, where it feels like one of Kanon's songs will play in the background every other episode (in a shop, on TV, at a ''pro-wrestling event''...)
* [[Disappeared Dad]]: Keima's father, who apparently spends most of his time overseas on business.
** Well, since Elsie claimed to be his illegitimate child he's probably not coming back.
* [[Damsel in Distress]]: How {{spoiler|Keima!Yui}} captures {{spoiler|Yui!Keima}}. Keima kinda [[Lampshadeslampshade]]s the trope too.
* [[Dude in Distress]]: Keima, [http://www.mangafox.com/manga/the_world_god_only_knows/v07/c060/4.html here.]
* [[Documentary Episode]]: Chapter 35 features a documentary about Keima's website.
Line 512 ⟶ 513:
*** Well, he started doing captures after hearing that a Weiss reincarnates as a girl's firstborn child. Before hearing this he was still unwilling to do it.
** On the other hand, the trope could be on the way to being inverted as of Chapter 113. Keima was a lot more cynical at the beginning.
* [[Lampshade Hanging]]: [[Lampshade Hanging/Anime and Manga/The World God Only Knows|Now have their own page.]]
* [[Lap Pillow]]: Keima gets pulled into a few of these.
* [[Large Ham]]: Keima, usually while ranting about games, or when in [[Incredibly Lame Pun|god mode]], complete with various [[Milking the Giant Cow]] antics. And speaking of cows, Nora is quite hammy herself.
Line 521 ⟶ 522:
** Keima attempts to invoke this with Yui, hoping to convince her of his clumsiness. It doesn't quite work as expected.
* [[Literal-Minded]]: Elsie. She reacted to the idea of destroying a household... Asking where are they literally going to start the demolition.
* [[Lolicon]]: Averted. Despite the fact that almost all dating sims [[Token Mini-MoeLoli|have at least one loli]] Keima hasn't had to capture any. The closest he's come were Minami and Akari. Minami is young but not childish and Akari is basically just short. Her arc revolves around something completely unrelated.
** Of course, with the introduction of {{spoiler|Minerva}}, things may change....
* [[Loophole Abuse]]: Keima and Tenri.
Line 720 ⟶ 721:
** Non-Kintetsu train station: [[wikipedia:Kasuga Station|Kasuga]]
** Tree: ''Kusunoki'' = [[wikipedia:Cinnamomum camphora|Camphor laurel]], ''Hinoki'' = [[wikipedia:Japanese cypress|Japanese cypress]].
* [[Theme Tune Cameo]]: ''Abused'' to no end in S2, where it feels like one of Kanon's songs will play in the background every other episode (in a shop, on TV, at a ''pro-wrestling event''...)
* [[Theme Twin Naming]]: Kusunoki and Hinoki.
* [[Third Law of Gender Bending]]: Averted {{spoiler|at the beginning, then played straight...}}
