Line 77:
* [[Face Heel Turn]]: Early on, we're told that Kurotsuchi Mayuri and Hisagi Shuuhei have both defected to Aizen. {{spoiler|The latter is actually a [[Reverse Mole]].}}
* [[Fate Worse Than Death]]: What Aizen has done to the stronger Shinigami he captures ( {{spoiler|[[Super-Powered Evil Side|Hollowfication]], [[Baleful Polymorph|being merged with their zanpakuto]], [[Mind Rape|having their minds broken]] [[Brainwashed and Crazy|to the point that they will serve Aizen]], [[Eldritch Abomination|and that's putting it mildly]] [[Tear Jerker|when we finally see Hitsugaya]].}}) Honestly, [[Crapsack World|existing in this fic]] [[Beyond the Impossible|probably counts by itself]].
* [[Failure Knight]]: Isane after Unohana's surrender to prevent Seireitei from being destroyed. She's consumed by guilt, even though [[You Did Everything You Could|there was nothing she could have done to change what happened,]] and convinced that she's weak and useless as a fighter. Despite being one of the few surviving lieutenants, she acts exclusively as Ukitake's physician rather than taking part in the practical or strategy aspects of [[La Résistance]]. It's a turning point when she's willing to take iaido lessons from Shirogane, not just because she [[Took a Level
* [[Fake Defector]]: {{spoiler|Hisagi.}} Too bad for him everyone who knew he hadn't defected for real is dead...
* [[Family-Unfriendly Violence]]: All over the place, but especially {{spoiler|Gin’s}} death scene. In this case it’s made worse by the fact that the other side doesn’t have anyone strong enough to fight him one-on-one- so he’s slowly worn down by several weaker opponents, taking several of them with him.
Line 159:
* [[Now You Tell Me]]: Urahara manages to tell his team that he took a few liberties with his part of operation plans just minutes before said liberties start to fall right on their heads (some of them literally). Cue reaction:
{{quote|"You 'may possibly' have made a ''mistake''? <...> There's no 'may possibly' about it, Kisuke!" }}
* [[OC Stand
* [[Odd Friendship]]: Ikkaku and Momo.
* [[Omnicidal Maniac]]: Aizen has set events in motion that will, if left unchecked, lead to the destruction of Soul Society, Hueco Mundo, and the living world. The protagonists don't know his motivation, but their speculations about the matter are in line with this trope.
Line 220:
* [[The Unintelligible]]: [[Tear Jerker|See "Tortured Abomination."]]
* [[This Is Something He's Got to Do Himself]]: It is understood that Ikkaku will fight {{spoiler|Yumichika}} alone, despite the fact that the fic usually avoids one-on-one duels. (By the time it actually happens, everyone else is busy fighting another opponent, so Ikkaku’s personal fight actually makes their lives easier by removing the second antagonist.)
* [[Took a Level
* [[Torso with a View]]: Pagally and {{spoiler|the hollowfied Kira and Rukia}} have their Hollow holes in their chests.
* [[Tortured Abomination]]: Hollowfied Shinigami. Special mention goes to {{spoiler|Hitsugaya}}, who got broken so badly that he's left as a {{spoiler|"jumble of icy wings and cruel claws" that can't even talk, [[The Blank|nor does he have a face.]] Momo}} [[Tear Jerker|was not amused.]]
Line 239:
* [[Would Hurt a Child]]: Yes, [[Complete Monster|Aizen]] would. He would also {{spoiler|imprison them, torture them, and/or [[Brainwashed and Crazy|force them to serve him]] by turning them into entries under the [[Tortured Abomination]] section.}} Note that [[Really 700 Years Old|given his age]], a majority of the cast [[Fridge Horror|can be listed under the "child" section.]]
* [[You Gotta Have Blue Hair]]: Pagally, Hisagi's fraccion, has lavender hair.
* [[You Have Failed Me...]]: Aizen and Gin just LOVE this, each in his own way. Sometimes it [[The Dog Bites Back|backfires]].
* [[Zero-Approval Gambit]]: {{spoiler|Hisagi}} sets one in motion by orders of his superiors, 'betraying' Soul Society to gain a potential chance to save it later (and a less-than-potential chance to be executed for war crimes anyway if that even succeeds).
