Ultra Maniac: Difference between revisions

* [[Aw, Look -- They Really Do Love Each Other]]: Ayu and Tetsushi, and later on, Nina and Hiroki {{spoiler|(''especially'' in the anime where their [[Love Confession|mutual admittance]] [[The Power of Love|of it literally saved lives, including theirs]])}}. {{spoiler|Also applies to [[Pair the Spares|Yuta and Sayaka]] in the manga, although theirs was [[Was It All a Lie?|more of]] [[Love Hurts|a struggle]].}}

* [[Berserk Button]]: {{spoiler|"Leo never hurt you, Sayaka... ''but I will.''" Cue a magic bolt that blows a hole in the roof and would've killed Sayaka had Nina not been restrained as she fired the bolt.}}

* [[Breaking the Fourth Wall]]/[[Medium Awareness]]: Manga. After Sayaka attacks, Nina says that this is ''way'' too violent for ''[[Ultra Maniac]].'' Hiroki tells her that being in a shoujo manga does not exempt them from pain.

** Done so funnily in the first episode of the anime series. It's a tradition to [[Magical Girl|Magical Girls]] to have a dedicated [[Transformation Sequence]]; Nina is no exception. After Nina does her transformation she gives her standard wink to the camera followed by Ayu snapping her back to business.

* [[School Idol]]: Ayu and Tetsushi, both respected by the entire school for their performance, diligence... and looks.

* [[Secret Keeper]]: Ayu and Hiroki. {{spoiler|Later, Tetsushi, too, when he finds out [[Magical Girl|Nina's little secret]] with Nina's permission... only Nina herself wasn't around to witness Ayu revealing it to him, but rather a [[Crossdresser|male double]] who immediately takes the opportunity to flagrantly violate the masquerade before Nina shows up to rebuke him for being a [[Jerkass]] to her friends because of how he's alienating them.}}

* [[Shout-Out]]: The music that plays in the anime when Nina's young triplet cousins are around sounds a lot like the theme song to ''[[The Powerpuff Girls]]''. In fact, Wataru Yoshizumi '''loves''' ''The Powerpuff Girls''.

* [[Static Stun Gun|Static Stun]] [[Ring of Power]]: Supposedly protects Ayu from [[The Chikan|potential harrassment]]. But [[Inept Mage|Nina isn't adept at producing]] [[Applied Phlebotinum|usable Phlebotina]], so the ring stuns even the most innocent of boys, much to Ayu's chagrin.
