* [[Department of Redundancy Department|Department Of Redundancy Department:]] Sporadically used, sometimes intentional, sometimes obviously unintentional.

* [[Eyes Always Closed|Eyes Always Closed:]] Yutaka.
* [[Affably Evil|Affably Evil:]] Dawitsu tries to be this to Reimu and Marisa, but fails miserably in the 'Evil' part.
* {{spoiler|[[Batman Can Breathe in Space]]/[[Space Is Noisy|Space Is Noisy:]]}} When Yutaka {{spoiler|switches the battle arena for Dawitsu, Reimu and Marisa, one of the areas is space, yet not one person seems to have problems breathing.}} However, considering Yutaka's ability to change the scenery, it could be just as likely that she {{spoiler|added oxygen to the 'space'.}}
* [[Battle Butler|Battle Butler:]]: Contrary to Touhou style, {{spoiler|Yutaka [[Averted Trope|averts]] this by simply letting the two heroines through to where Dawitsu is without a fight.}} (Albeit with a large tour beforehand).
* [[Buffy-Speak|Buffy Speak:]] 'The Scarlet Sisters... they accused me of stealing... that laser... fire-sword thing that Flandre has...'
* [[The Cameo|The Cameo:]]: A virtual replica of [[Portal 2|Wheatley]], [[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask|Zora Eggs]], [[Earthbound|various pictures of 'Starmen']] as well as [[Haruhi Suzumiya|one of a busty, red-haired maid]], [[Mother 3|a pink shell house on a floor known as Locria's Level]], and [[Super Mario 64|books that]] [[Big Boo's Haunt|gain teeth and attack people.]].
* [[Calling Your Bluff|Calling Your Bluff:]]: {{spoiler|Yukari claims Dawitsu wouldn't have Flandre destroy her house. Dawitsu proves otherwise, and almost fails to stop Flandre ''carrying out his threat'' once Yukari agrees to give Yutaka back. Thankfully Patchouli saves the day.}}
* [[Can't Live Without You|Can't Live Without You:]] More or less said exactly by {{spoiler|Dawitsu as he breaks down at the thought of losing Yutaka.}}
* [[Cargo Ship|Cargo Ship:]] Aya and her press. [[Squick]]
* [[The Woobie|The Woobie:]] Ran. She {{spoiler|is reportedly abused by Yukari, taken for granted and treated as inferior to Yutaka by Dawitsu, and is almost made to be a bargaining chip as part of Dawitsu's plan to get Yutaka back.}}
* [[You Just Told Me|You Just Told Me:]] Aya claims to have several sources accusing Dawitsu of {{spoiler|sexually harrassing Sakuya Izayoi.}} Dawitsu is quick to deny this, saying {{spoiler|'I just joked about her wearing pads...}}. This bites him in the ass when Aya reveals she didn't really have any sources, and that this is going down in print.
* [[You Scratch My Back, IllI'll Scratch Yours|You Scratch My Back, I'll Scratch Yours:]] Dawitsu says this word-for-word when asking {{spoiler|Remilia to let him observe Patchouli and Sakuya as part of his training.}} Humorously taken literally by {{spoiler|Remilia.}}
* [[Sesquipedalian Smith|Sesquipedalian Smith:]] Dawitsu [[Lampshade Hanging|lampshades]] Keine Kamishirasawa's incredibly long name by saying, 'Boy, that's a mouthful...'. He also has trouble saying Shikieiki Yamaxanadu and Toyosatomimi no Miko's names too.

* [[Sinister Scythe|Sinister Scythe:]]: Dawitsu thinks Komachi's scythe is [[Buffy-Speak|frickin' sweet.]]
* [[Slumber Party|Slumber Party:]]: Yutaka apparently has a [[Blatant Lies|totally platonic]] one with {{spoiler|Patchouli Knowledge.}}
* [[ TedSmall Baxter|TedName, Baxter:]Big Ego] : Surprisingly, Dawitsu doesn't consider Cirno to be this due to her most likely truly being the strongest fairy. However, he does think this of Sunny Milk, claiming the only reason she's the leader of the three mischievous fairies is because the others don't challenge her on that. ▼* [[Stock British Phrases|Stock British Phrases:]] While not as common as some American Works due to the writer being British himself, Dawitsu does spout the occasional Steroetypical British colloquialism, such as 'Blighter', or 'Can't be Arsed'.
* [[Split Personality|Split Personality:]] Dawitsu claims Nazrin acts as both a grandiose leader of mice and a subservient minon to Shou Toramaru, even labelling such as a split personality.
* [[The Stoic|The Stoic:]] Many of the characters are mentioned to be so calm, that getting them to attack (and thus give Dawitsu's 'budding mimickers' an opportunity to mimic them) is almost impossible.
* [["Stop Having Fun!" Guys|"Stop Having Fun" Gal:]] In-universe. After Merlin steals his [[Lawyer-Friendly Cameo|'games console']] and thus his means of playing Ikaruga, insisting that she will complete it, Dawitsu claims she's a 'Masochistic Gamer'.
* [[Straw Hypocrite|Straw Hypocrite:]]: Dawitsu considers Miko to be this.
* [[Sufficiently Analyzed Magic|Sufficiently Analyzed Magic:]]: Dawitsu tries his hardest to explain magic in scientific terms, however, he occasionally fails to do so, usually in cases where he can't mimic the character or he requires some kind of [[MacGuffin]] to mimic their abilities.
* [[Super-Deformed|Super-Deformed:]]: Dawitsu can form Chibi Clones of himself. [[Squee|D'awwwwwwwww...]]
* [[Tampering with Food and Drink|Tampering With Food And Drink:]] Yutaka mentions putting Adrenaline in Patchouli's Tea and Tranquillisers in Dawitsu's tea to treat their targets' Lethargy and Insomnia respectively. However, [[Hilarity Ensues|she mixes the two up by accident...]]
** Notably, Adrenaline [[Artistic License: Biology|cannot enter a body and have an effect on the system unless injected...]]
* [[Techno Babble|Techno Babble:]] Both Dawitsu and Yutaka are prone to this.
* [[Too Kinky to Torture |Too Kinky To Torture]: ]] Dawitsu believes Tenshi is this, and is even disparaging of her despite showing [[Hypocritical Humor|shades of masochism himself...]] ▼▲* [[Ted Baxter|Ted Baxter:]] Surprisingly, Dawitsu doesn't consider Cirno to be this due to her most likely truly being the strongest fairy. However, he does think this of Sunny Milk, claiming the only reason she's the leader of the three mischievous fairies is because the others don't challenge her on that.
* [[Tutorial Level |Tutorial Level:]] : Dawitsu considers mimicry of first-boss level characters as this for his 'budding mimickers'. ▼▲* [[Too Kinky to Torture|Too Kinky To Torture:]] Dawitsu believes Tenshi is this, and is even disparaging of her despite showing [[Hypocritical Humor|shades of masochism himself...]]
* [[Undying Loyalty |Undying Loyalty:]] : Dawitsu considers Captain Murasa's journey to Makai to free [[The Messiah|Byakuren]] proof of her loyalty, and respects her for this despite her [[Dark and Troubled Past|checkered past.]] ▼▲* [[Tutorial Level|Tutorial Level:]] Dawitsu considers mimicry of first-boss level characters as this for his 'budding mimickers'.
* [[Universe Bible |Universe Bible:]] : This book serves an alternate purpose of showing what areas of [[Fanon]] the Author has accepted, and which he hasn't, as well as showing whether or not Dawitsu likes the character and whether or not he can mimic them. ▼▲* [[Undying Loyalty|Undying Loyalty:]] Dawitsu considers Captain Murasa's journey to Makai to free [[The Messiah|Byakuren]] proof of her loyalty, and respects her for this despite her [[Dark and Troubled Past|checkered past.]]
* [[The Unseen |The Unseen:]] : Tomasu Dawitsu, Mateyuu's brother, is mentioned in Lyrica's article. {{spoiler|Although unseen in this book, he does appear in Holiday Edition.}} ▼▲* [[Universe Bible|Universe Bible:]] This book serves an alternate purpose of showing what areas of [[Fanon]] the Author has accepted, and which he hasn't, as well as showing whether or not Dawitsu likes the character and whether or not he can mimic them.
* [[Unreliable Narrator |Unreliable Narrator:]] : Dawitsu's opinions are not always correct, and are... somewhat biased against rivals. ▼▲* [[The Unseen|The Unseen:]] Tomasu Dawitsu, Mateyuu's brother, is mentioned in Lyrica's article. {{spoiler|Although unseen in this book, he does appear in Holiday Edition.}}
▲* [[Unreliable Narrator|Unreliable Narrator:]] Dawitsu's opinions are not always correct, and are... somewhat biased against rivals.
* [[Unskilled but Strong|Unskilled, But Strong:]] Dawitsu believes Utsuho Reiuji to be this.
* [[Wiki Walk|Wiki Walk:]]: Dawitsu goes off on some pretty wild tangents at times...
* [[Who's Laughing Now?|Who's Laughing Now?:]] Downplayed. Yutaka's small-scale vengeance by humiliating Dawitsu by {{spoiler|exposing his crush of Sakuya}} for {{spoiler|doing the exact same regarding her and Patchouli}}.
* [[Who Wants to Live Forever?|Who Wants To Live Forever?:]] While Dawitsu seems to believe [[Living Forever Is Awesome]], Yutaka is [[Red Oni, Blue Oni|the converse]], and doesn't want to live forever.
* [[Workaholic]]: Dawitsu considers Hong Meiling to be this, despite her common depiction as a [[Memetic Mutation|lazy, incompetent guard.]] Strangely enough, this is closer to her Canon depiction than most depictions of her.
* [[Writer on Board|Writer On Board:]]: In Sakuya's article, there's [[Note From Ed|Typist's Notes,]] [[She Is Not My Girlfriend|Dawitsu's Notes,]] Author's Notes and [[Memetic Mutation|Chuck Norris' Notes.]] The Author's Notes are there simply to remark how many more notes can exist in one chapter, before [[Word of God|Chuck Norris]] tells him: {{spoiler|ONE.}}
* [[Written Sound Effect|Written Sound Effect:]]: [[Lampshade Hanging|Lampshaded]] by the [[Genre Savvy|Lampshade Hanger]] himself, Dawitsu asks if Yutaka''s typing Onomatopoeia again...
* [[You're Cute When You're Angry|You're Cute When You're Angry:]]: Dawitsu remarks that Yutaka's 'cute when she blushes' after she gets {{spoiler|exposed regarding her feelings for Patchouli Knowledge.}}
== Tropes that apply to Holiday Edition ==
* [[The Alcoholic|The Alcoholic:]]: {{spoiler|Suika comes along for the ride.}}
* [[All Work vs. All Play|All Work Vs All Play:]]: An expansion on the theme brought up in Grimoire, once gain relating to Ran's hard working nature and Dawitsu trying to get her to chill out.
* {{spoiler|[[Aloof Big Brother|Aloof Big Brother:]]:}} [[Inverted Trope|Inverted.]] {{spoiler|Tomasu is certainly aloof, having a great disdain for his older brother for his Otakuism. He almost slips out, "I can't go out with a bunch of geeks..." upon suggesting that he, Yutaka, and Dawitsu go out and take Ran and Chen along with them. He stops himself, though, and actually loves his brother very much, though.}}
* [[Always Second Best|Always Second Best:]]: Dawitsu does a 'See, this is why Yutaka's an awesome Shikigami' type dialogue to Ran more than once...
* [[Anger Born of Worry|Anger Born Of Worry:]]: Sakuya slaps Dawitsu in the face for {{spoiler|pretending to be hurt by crossing the border,}} even saying the Trope Page Quote.
* [[Appeal to Flattery|Appeal To Flattery:]]: Dawitsu tries this on Yukari, and ''succeeds'' in stalling her for a while by complimenting how good-looking she is.
* [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking|Arson, Murder, And Jaywalking:]]: The gang {{spoiler|almost revealed Youkai-kind to the outside world}}, {{spoiler|blew up a restaurant}}, and took the Eurostar, in Dawitsu's words.
* [[Attention Deficit Ooh Shiny|Attention Deficit... Ooh Shiny!:]] {{spoiler|Dawitsu ''wishes'' this was the case with Sakuya and his father as he digs himself deeper and deeper into an awkward conversation, the narration saying he wants to jingle some keys at them and keep them distracted.}}
* [[Aw, Look -- They Really Do Love Each Other|Aw Look, They Really Do Love Each Other:]] Reimu becomes concerned about {{spoiler|Suika}} and {{spoiler|Aya}} when Yukari mentions {{spoiler|locking the border so the Holiday-goers can never return to Gensokyo,}} causing her to mentally [[Lampshade Hanging|lampshade]] it by thinking it's strange that she'd actually show concern for others. Also, later on, in the same instance as But Now I Must Go, {{spoiler|Tomasu shows his true colors by wanting to go with Dawitsu to Gensokyo... [[Subverted Trope|or so it seems, but he just meant for the journey.]]}}
* [[Badass Boast|Badass Boast:]]: Yukari's threats to Dawitsu- 'There are a million ways I can kill you right now, using only this Parasol. I don't have to do this, of course. There are a million more ways that I can kill you with my bare hands, and a number bordering a billion other ways I can kill you. I've been nice to you up until now, so tell me one good reason why I should let you live if you won't give me what's rightfully mine?'.
* [[Bad Date|Bad Date:]]: [[Subverted Trope|Subverted]] in that the meal at the restaurant in chapter five was never a date from the beginning, {{spoiler|Sakuya}} was only trying to make it that way to call {{spoiler|Dawitsu}} out on {{spoiler|calling her his wife [[It Makes Sense in Context|to protect her from rabid Otaku.]]}} Needless to say the effort fails miserably. A closer to straight example in the last chapter, in which {{spoiler|Yutaka tries the moves on Patchouli, and in confessing to her, sets off her asthma. It didn't go quite as planned, but they ultimately hook up anyways.}}
* [[Beginner's Luck|Beginner's Luck:]]: Sakuya seems to have this in her gaming ability, but in actual fact, it's because she's a [[The Scrub|n00b.]]
* [[Be Quiet Nudge|"Be Quiet!" Nudge:]] Yutaka kicks Dawitsu from under the table at a restaurant for being a [[Jerkass]] to the waiter.
* [[Berserk Button|Berserk Button:]] [[Subverted Trope|Subverted.]] {{spoiler|French Bar Staff implying Suika cannot take her drink does have disastrous results, but it's not because she's angry; it's merely to prove she is a real Oni.}}
* [[The Big Damn Kiss|The Big Damn Kiss:]]: {{spoiler|Sakuya to Dawitsu, after she finds out that she was saved by his surgery.}}
* [[Big Eater|Big Eater:]]: If there's one thing Dawitsu {{spoiler|and his brother}} have in common, it's their appetite, as shown when they get a Subway. Yutaka and Ran [[Inverted Trope|Invert]] this with their modest appetites (Ran only has ''salad'' in her sub), while Sakuya, {{spoiler|Aya}}, Chen, and Patchouli simply [[Averted Trope|Avert]] with normal appetites. {{spoiler|Suika has [[The Alcoholic|no appetite for food at all]], and prefers to just drink alcohol.}}
* [[Breaking the Fourth Wall|Breaking The Fourth Wall:]]: A notable case in which the narration states that 'even the narration got bored, and moved to a different scene.' Pretty [[Anvilicious]], [[Captain Obvious|obviously.]]
* [[But for Me It Was Tuesday|But For Me It Was Tuesday:]]: Suika shrugs off {{spoiler|the fact Dawitsu's car crash ''with her in it''}} as merely a 'twitch'.
* [[But Now I Must Go|But Now I Must Go:]]: When Dawitsu {{spoiler|is saying his final goodbyes to Tomasu, the whole scene has a general air of this, even though it's only to return home.}}
* [[Can't Hold His Liquor|Can't Hold Her Liquor:]]: Dawitsu and co bluff this is the case to explain why {{spoiler|Suika}} is so drunk in a ''museum'', although they know this is anything but true.
* [[Casual Kink|Casual Kink:]]: Once again, Dawitsu seems to enjoy being slapped... also, {{spoiler|Dawitsu's father begins to think his son has joined some kind of fetish club relating to animé girls... however, he is mistaken.}}
* [[Chekhov's Gun|Chekhov's Gun:]]: The secret entrance used by Yutaka and Chen {{spoiler|is only next referenced all the way into Jean's Magical Education, and is used by Medicine Melancholy in a murder attempt.}}
* [[Cheese-Eating Surrender Monkeys|Cheese-Eating Surrender Monkeys:]]: Spectacularly [[Averted Trope|Averted.]] Yutaka even goes out of her way in the museum containing the Bayeux Tapestry to talk of France's war-waging history.
* [[The Chessmaster|The Chessmaster:]]: Not as pronounced as her later appearances, but Yutaka certainly thought ahead by bringing a copy of [[Continuity Porn|the Grimoire]] [[Call Back|of Dawitsu]] with her to {{spoiler|show Sakuya that Dawitsu [[Aw, Look -- They Really Do Love Each Other|really does love Sakuya.]]}}
* [[Christmas Episode|Christmas Episode:]]: Well, [[Captain Obvious|somewhat obvious]]. The whole story kind of revolves around the main characters going on Holiday to the Outside World to celebrate Christmas.
* [[Clingy Jealous Girl|Clingy Jealous Girl:]]: While not showing much of the latter, {{spoiler|Sakuya certainly is one clingy girlfriend (both physically and figuratively) and almost instantly causes Dawitsu to have doubts upon asking her out.}}
* [[Constantly Curious|Constantly Curious:]]: Pretty much every Gensokyo Dweller to the outside world, especially {{spoiler|the stowaway, Aya.}}
* [[Converse with the Unconscious|Converse With The Unconscious:]]: {{spoiler|After the car crash, Sakuya is severely injured and the only one seriously affected by the impact.}} Patchouli runs over to where {{spoiler|her}} unconscious body is and keeps asking her to wake up.
* [[Cosplay Otaku Girl|Cosplay Otaku Girls:]]: Dawitsu gets the idea on how to make the Gensokyo Girls' weird outfits seem ''comparatively'' inconspicuous in the outside world... by pretending they're cosplayers, of course!
* [[Covert Pervert|Covert Pervert:]]: {{spoiler|Tomasu}} is only a tad more covert than Dawitsu is, so once again is a [[Subverted Trope|subversion.]] Also, Yukari off-handedly mentions to Reimu that 'It's not like I haven't seen you half-naked before...' when she warps to her house in the middle of her washing her top.
* [[Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass|Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass:]]: Really, who expected Dawitsu of all people to be the one protecting his peers whenever they came into trouble due to their ineptitude regarding the outside world.
* [[Deus Ex Machina|Deus Ex Machina:]]: {{spoiler|Chuck Norris post [[Heel Face Turn|Heel Face Turn.]]}}
* [[Diabolus Ex Machina|Diabolus Ex Machina:]]: {{spoiler|Chuck Norris, before his [[Heel Face Turn]].}}
* [[Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?|Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?:]]: Chen of all people manages to {{spoiler|knock Yukari out. With a ''frying pan.''}} Needless to say everyone's a little surprised {{spoiler|Yukari}} was actually hurt by it.
* [[Divorce Is Temporary|Divorce Is Temporary:]]: [[Averted Trope|Averted]], thankfully. {{spoiler|Dawitsu's parents are implied to be divorced, and he even implies to Tomasu that it could be awkward inviting both parents to the Christmas party. Turns out Dawitsu's father has a new wife, and Dawitsu mother actually gets on ''well'' with this new wife, so the situation seems pretty much permenent.}}
* [[Dope Slap|Dope Slap:]]: [[Subverted Trope|Subverted.]] Dawitsu is tempted to do it to {{spoiler|Suika}}, but in the end doesn't.
* [[Double Standard|Double Standard:]]: The tone of the book [[Averted Trope|Averts]] this, but {{spoiler|Dawitsu's mother certainly believes in [[The Unfair Sex]], and believes men should give up what they want for their beloved.}}
* [[Every Car Is a Pinto|Every Car Is A Pinto:]]: [[Averted Trope|Averted]] in favor of realism. {{spoiler|After Aya randomly pops out of the boot of his Cadillac, Dawitsu loses control and crashes the car on the motorway, causing the car to be damaged beyond repair, but not exploded. The injuries are the greater concern...}}
* [[Face Palm|Face Palm:]]: Or ''Face Sleeve'' in Yutaka's case...
* [[Feigning Intelligence|Feigning Intelligence:]]: Dawitsu does it quite a bit in Holiday Edition...
* [[First Gray Hair|First Gray Hair:]]: {{spoiler|Tomasu}} winds up Dawitsu by pretending {{spoiler|he}} can see one shortly after {{spoiler|they reunite.}}
* [[French Cuisine Is Haughty|French Cuisine Is Haughty:]] [[Playing With Tropes|Played With.]] While the restaurant the main cast go to is certainly intended to be high-class, there doesn't seem to be any more emphasis placed on the Ecargot and Cuisses de Grenuilles ordered by Yutaka and Patchouli than on Dawitsu's steak and Sakuya's Carbonara.
* [[Fridge Logic|Fridge Logic:]] In-universe example. It's only after getting to the outside world Ran considers how on earth she's going to hide her fox tails in order to make herself blend in with humans.
* {{spoiler|[[Friends with Benefits|Friends With Benefits:]]}} The name of the final chapter. {{spoiler|Referring to Sakuya and Dawitsu's relationship by the end. It doesn't last into the next book, [[Your Mileage May Vary|fortunately]].}}
* [[Gamer Chick|Gamer Chick:]]: Sakuya briefly becomes this, getting addicted to [[Call of Duty|Modern Warfare Two.]] She's also quite good, but only via [[The Scrub|cheap tactics]], so is actually a [[Subverted Trope|Subversion.]]
* [[Genki Girl|Genki Girl:]]: Whenever Chen is asking about Father Christmas, she becomes this, and is very enthusiastic about finding out more about the figurehead of Christmas.
* [[Giant Space Flea From Nowhere|Giant Space Flea From Nowhere:]] {{spoiler|Chuck Norris. Just Chuck Norris.}}
* [[Glomp]] Once again, Sakuya's all over this trope. {{spoiler|Dawitsu even does it to Reimu as he discovers that she [[Aw, Look -- They Really Do Love Each Other|really does love]] Suika and Aya.}}
