Line 9:
=== ''Yo-Jin-Bo'' provides examples of: ===
* [[All
* [[All Girls Want Bad Boys]]: The reason for including Ittosai.
* [[All Just a Dream]]: {{spoiler|The Forgotten Dream endings, natch.}}
Line 46:
* [[Blade On a Stick]]: Nobumasa wields a spear. A really big spear.
* [[Blatant Lies]]: A prominent feature of Yo and Sayori's confrontations with Nobumasa, who believes every word even when they're claiming that Sayori is Yo's mother or that they're escaping from a witch who lives in a [[Gingerbread House]].
* [[Blonde, Brunette, Redhead]]: Yo, Bo, and Jin are a male version, with some allowances made for [[Anime Hair]] - Yo's hair is light green and Bo's is blue, but they fill the roles of blond and brunet perfectly.
* [[Blond Guys Are Evil]]: Ittosai.
* [[Big Damn Heroes]]: Sayori trips and falls as she and Muneshige are running to first escape the castle. The ninjas have her surrounded and are about to kill her. Enter five [[Casual Danger Dialog|wise-cracking heroes]]. Those poor ninjas never regain their competence.
Line 61:
* [[Bridal Carry]]: Bo does it in one scene. Muneshige and Mon-Mon give piggyback rides.
* [[Brown Eyes]]: Muneshige, who is stable and loyal (although one of his poses shows him with [[Eyes of Gold]] instead - [[Hazel Eyes|hazel]] maybe?)
* [[Bullet
* [[Bulletproof Vest]]: {{spoiler|Mon-Mon wears chain mail under his clothes. It saves him from a couple of kunai in the back.}}
* [[But Now I Must Go]]: {{spoiler|The Bad endings, usually thanks to the pendant taking Sayori back to her own time in spite of her wishes. In Jin's Bad ending, he beats it to the jump, taking off without even waiting around to get paid.}}
* [[But Thou Must!]]: Quite a few decisions seem to have no influence on events. All of them ultimately affect the ending, however.
* [[Calling Your Attacks]]: Everybody does. They usually have [[Non-Indicative Name|ridiculously long and convoluted names]], too.
* [[Cannot Spit It Out]]: Happens a couple times, but especially with Jin.
Line 81:
* [[Conservation of Ninjutsu]]: Teams of ninja are no real match for the guys. Kasumimaru by himself is.
* [[Cower Power]]: Considering they're her bodyguards, it may be slightly justified.
* [[CPR: Clean, Pretty, Reliable]]: {{spoiler|1=In Mon-Mon's ending, Hatsuhime is choked by Nobumasa. Mon-Mon uses CPR to revive her with little to no problems, despite the fact that she had neither breath nor heartbeat. It does result in Sayori and Hatsuhime's minds switching back, though.}}
* [[Crash Into Hello]]: Hatsuhime literally runs into Jin at the festival. Nearly pulls his haori off, too.
* [[Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass]]: Jin's fighting stance is said to be wide open and full of holes, prompting much mocking from both friends and enemies, but attempts to attack him are swiftly parried or dodged.
Line 95:
* [[Disney Villain Death]]: {{spoiler|In all routes, Kasumimaru falls to his death before the bloodloss gets to him. In all but Ittosai's Good ending, Harumoto falls from the top of the watchtower before it collapses.}}
* [[Distressed Damsel]]: Hatsuhime/Sayori.
* [[Don't You Dare Pity Me!]]: If Ittosai has a [[Berserk Button]], this is it.
* [[Double Entendre]]: A couple of the jokes. Actually, ''a lot'' of the jokes.
* [[The Dragon]]: Nobumasa
Line 122:
* [[Face Heel Turn]]: Making the ''very'' wrong choice on the road in the last day can result in {{spoiler|Ittosai handing Sayori over to Nobumasa, reminding her that he warned her not to trust him}}.
* [[Face Palm]]: Ittosai has not one, but ''two'' facepalming sprites, due to the fact that he feels he's [[Surrounded By Idiots]].
* [[Fake
* [[Family-Unfriendly Death]]: There are six guys. {{spoiler|Nobumasa}} gets himself killed six spectacular different ways.
* [[Family-Unfriendly Violence]]: {{spoiler|Likewise Kasumimaru loses his arm six times, complete with as much blood as is befitting a severed appendage. [[Disney Villain Death|He then plummets over the edge of a cliff]], but you don't see his body.}}
Line 134:
* [[Fish Out of Temporal Water]]: Subverted, mostly thanks to the [[Purely Aesthetic Era]]: Sayori has no trouble fitting in since everyone else is constantly making modern pop culture references and such anyhow.
* [[Foe Yay]]: Jin ''really'' hates Ittosai. So of course the moment he shows any concern about why he's not back from fighting off ninjas, Bo asks if he's worried about him and Yo pipes up with, "Are you saying the more they fight, the closer they are? Are you...slashing them?" [[Literal Minded|Bo then asks if he means slashing tires.]]
** Also, in every guy's Good ending, Harumoto mocks them for being weak enough to love a woman. He takes this to a whole different level in Yo's end, in which he claims that "the friendship between men" is what truly matters. [
* [[Freudian Excuse]]: {{spoiler|Ittosai takes this up to eleven.}}
* [[Fur and Loathing]]: Ittosai's fur-trimmed coat.
Line 155:
** Jin, who is occasionally hotheaded and tempermental.
** Sayori, who doesn't fit the stereotype at all.
* [[Guide Dang It]]: Your ability to progress down certain characters' paths are dependent upon seemingly meaningly [[But Thou Must!]] choices in the beginning of the game, before you have even meet said characters.
* [[Guns Are Worthless]]: Ruthlessly averted in one death scene. If the ninjas bring out guns, the guys declare them to be cowards for using them...and then die. Rapidly. {{spoiler|Played straight in Yo and Mon-Mon's path. Yo gets shot in the stomach, and this only puts him out of commission for the evening.}}
* [[Happy Ending]]: The Good endings, natch.
Line 177:
* [[Hit Me Dammit]]: Muneshige demands that Jin hit him for thinking [[Not What It Looks Like|he was doing something inappropriate]] when the later was treating Hatsuhime's snakebite.
* [[Holding Hands]]: is treated as being extremely special.
* [[Hot
* [[Hot Men At Work]]: In Muneshige's Good ending, {{spoiler|Sayori tells him he looks marvelous working on rebuilding the watchtower.}}
* [[Hot Springs Episode]]: And you can spy on the guys.
Line 221:
* [[Lampshade Hanging]]: On everything.
* [[Large Ham]]: The voiceacting may cross into this at times, but always for the sake of the humor.
* [[Last
* [[Last
* [[Leet Lingo]]: Mon-Mon has one line traslated into 1337: $7|=U NOO|3!!!1! (STFU you noob!) {{spoiler|Jin also has one in Muneshige's Good end: j00 h4><><0r3d |V|y <3!!11! (You hacked my heart!)}}
* [[
* [[Lightning Bruiser]]: Nobumasa. He's big, powerful, and so fast he can appear to be attacking from multiple places at once.
* [[Limited Wardrobe]]: Partly justified, as running from ninjas tends to put silly things like changing clothes on the back burner. The plot only takes a few days' time, too.
Line 319:
** Kasumimaru is capable of electrifying his sword. He uses it against Ittosai. {{spoiler|In Yo's Good ending, Hatsuhime delivers an electric shock from inside the pendant to snap Yo out of his zombie-like state.}}
** Ittosai himself also gets sparks around himself when using his special attack, Bare Blade Indiscriminate Slaughter. Nobumasa's attack is called Tiger's Roar Electric Shock. However, neither seems to actually cause electrocution to the victim of the attack.
* [[Shout
* [["Shut Up" Kiss]]: In Jin's Good ending, {{spoiler|Jin does this when Sayori says she's not as pretty as Hatsuhime.}}
* [[Single
* [[Single Woman Seeks Good Man]]: Any ending with any guy other than Ittosai.
* [[Slasher Smile]]: Ittosai.
Line 393:
* [[Warrior Therapist]]: Bo psychoanalyzes Ittosai right into a [[Heroic BSOD]].
* [[We Can Rule Together]]: Harumoto {{spoiler|in Yo and Muneshige's Good endings, to Yo and Sayori respectively.}}
* [[We Need a Distraction]]: When everyone [[Let's Split Up, Gang!|splits into teams of two]], one group's job is to function as a distraction and lead the ninja away.
* [[What Does She See in Him?]]: The other guys' general reaction in Ittosai's Good ending, though they <s> may be</s> are almost definitely just [[Green-Eyed Monster|jealous]].
* [[What Is This Thing You Call Love?]]: Ittosai, having never loved anyone, is a bit confused by the funny feeling in his chest.
