Line 14:
* [[Anti-Hero]]: Fate Averruncus has graduated to the heroic side from his original [[Anti-Villain]] status, but he's still a total [[Jerkass]].
* [[Badass]]
* [[Badass Crew]]: UQ Holder, by design, because they're all magical immortals. Of course, members of Ala Rubra and Ala Alba are still kicking around.
* [[Battle Harem]]: The female members of UQ Holder, slowly but surely, move to orbit Touta.
* [[Big Beautiful Woman]]: Dana Ananga Jagannatha, Witch of the Rift. She's been around long enough that big is still beautiful to her, though if she splits off a bit of her self, the clone turns in to [[Buxom Is Better]], [[Lolicon]], and [[Chibi]] forms.
* [[Breast Expansion]]: Dana decides that Yukihime doesn't have large enough breasts, and magicks her breasts up to [[Gag Boobs]] proportions. This is important as a plot point, to show that Dana has enough power to force her magic against even Yukihime.
* [[Buxom Is Better]]: As Yukihime, Evangeline spends most of her time in adult form these days with a decent rack -- although Dana demonstrates that she can do [[Breast Expansion|even better]].
* [[Cloning Blues]]: {{spoiler|Our protagonist, Touta}} goes through this when he finds out he's a clone for a few chapters, but he gets over it pretty quickly.
* [[Chekhov MIA]]: Negi Springfield. We all knew he would show up eventually.
* '''[[Death Is Cheap]]''': Most of the characters are immortal. Characters like the vampires can "die", but they come back a few minute later. A whole training section from Dana focuses on making death even cheaper, so that characters can regenerate from being killed in a matter of seconds.
* [[Defrosting Ice Queen]]: Yukihime, which of course literally means "ice princess", is still in the process of thawing, in spite of her progress in the first manga. Evangeline's still an ice magic user who isn't afraid to be a brutal task-mistress in training.
* [[Fanservice]]: Hey guys, guess what? The clothes-stripping magic of Negima is back, baby!
* [[Fantastic Time Management]]: With Kirië's [[Save Point]] ability, she can study up on anything quickly. Sure she has to kill herself to go back in time, but eh, you get used to it.
* [[Generation Xerox]]: Honoka Konoe and Isana Konoe look like carbon copies of Konoka Konoe and Setsuna Sakurazaki. Isana has the same family name, but still refers to Honoka as [[Ojou]]-sama for some inexplicable reason. They refer to Touta Konoe as their brother, but {{spoiler| he's a more literal form of Xerox, being some kind of clone of Negi}}.
** Shinobu Yuuki is so similar to Shinobu Maehara of ''[[Love Hina]]'' that even [[The Other Wiki]] noticed. Putting this here rather than [[Expy]], as ''Love Hina'' is presumably in the same universe due to the shared Shinmeiryuu martial arts style.
* [[The Glomp]]: yup.
* [[Harem Genre]]: Once again, Ken Akamatsu delivers us a manga that has several attractive females throwing themselves at a cute boy.
* [[Haunted Technology]]: Santa is pretty good at hacking computers with his "psychic" powers.
* [[Idiot Hero]]: Touta, who definitely didn't inherit the studious attitude from his Grandfather Negi.
* [[I Don't Want to Ruin Our Friendship]]: Expressed by {{spoiler|Kuroumaru}}, who eventually decides that they will be [[Better as Friends]], even expressing it with [[Bishie Sparkle]]!
* [[Loads and Loads of Characters]]: Not nearly as bad as Negima at first… but as the manga progressed, it seems to want to import all of Negima's cast ''plus'' their children.
* [[Love Confession]]: Touta does this to ''Yukihime'' of all people (see [[Idiot Hero]], above). He gets turned down pretty hard. A few chapters later, he eats a [[Haiyore! Nyaruko-san|truth potion chocolate]] and goes around telling all of the characters he loves them.
* [[Luminescent Blush]]: Most of the girls and [[Even the Guys Want Him|some of the boys]] do this for Touta, but none so egregiously as Kirië, whose entire face lights up when thinking about a guy she is definitely not in love with, not at all!
* [[Long Runner]]: If you include it as a part of Negima, definitely, but even this story is over 100 chapters.
* [[Magic Kiss]]: Kirië's [[Accidental Kiss|Accidental]] [[First Kiss]] with Touta unlocks a new power for her: [[Time Stands Still]]
* [[Macross Missile Massacre|Magic Missile Massacre]]: Touta can't cast spells due to his makeup, but people sure these cast spells on him. Complete with [[Roboteching]], of course.
* [[Marilyn Maneuver]]: How do you prove you can [[Time Stop]]? If you're Touta, you lift a skirt.
* [[Memetic Sex God]]: In the decades since Negima, Negi's status has risen such that he is said to make a woman fall in love with just a single look.
* [[Mysterious Parent|Mysterious Grandparent]]: Touta's Grandfather, Negi.
* [[New Neo City]]: A single panel in chapter 111 offers up "Shin Tokyo", "Baru Jakarta", and "New Sydney".
* [[Our Vampires Are Different]]: Different types even within the story. Touta is a vampire/{{spoiler|clone/doll}}, Evangeline's vampirism came from a magical experiment, and Dana is one of the great old ones.
