Line 41:
** Sometimes he's wrong though, except for...
** '''Black''': Is 100% nightmares and daydreams when a Dream Demon tries to take over a host.
* [[Cool Old Guy]]: Isana's dad, who frequently dispenses random philosophy-cum-life-advice to those who happen to be passing. See also [[Good Scars, Evil Scars]].
** Mr. Ijima, Yumeji's teacher in the anime, could be seen as this as well. Sure he has an extreme liking of rice, but his speeches to his students are quite inspirational. {{spoiler|Of course, it's all a ruse, but...}}
* [[Compressed Hair]]: Minato
Line 54:
* [[Dream Land]]: Besides his eye ability, Yumeji can also enter the dream world of others - which surprises Merry.
* [[Dream Stealer]]
* [[Does This Remind You of Anything?]]: When John summons the cat girls to help with Yumeji's wound, look at the one holding the [http://www.mangafox.com/manga/yumekui_merry/v02/c010/18.html medicine]. Is there any reason she has to hold it like that?
* [[Dull Eyes of Unhappiness]]: The victims of Dream Loss Syndrome, who are not so much unhappy as ''unmotivated'', almost to the point of complete catatonia. {{spoiler|They were formerly symbiotes or possessed vessels of Dream Demons; when the demon is killed, all the dreams and ambitions of the human vessel die as well.}}
* [[Exotic Eye Designs]]: Most Dream Demons have unique-looking pupils. For example, Chukai has cross-shaped pupils, while Chris Evergreen has tilting H-shaped pupils.
Line 63:
* [[Green Eyed Red Head]]: Merry
* [[Girlish Pigtails]]: Isana, Mei.
* [[Good Scars, Evil Scars]]: Isana's dad has a scar down one side of his face.
** {{spoiler|Merry has one on her right arm, she just keeps it covered until the [[Beach Episode]] in chapter 11. Yumeji had a scar, but it's long since faded. Curiously, [[Epileptic Trees|his was in the same place that Merry's is.]] And now the spot where he had his scar is starting to hurt after he exits a daydream... }}
* [[Hannibal Lecture]]: {{spoiler|Maze gives one to Engi. See [[Heroic BSOD]]}}
Line 75:
** {{spoiler|In chapter 24, Yumeji's eyes took on the pattern of John's mouth on his mask when he first formed John's weapon. In Chapter 25, Yumeji's eyes took on the pattern of Ichima's swirly eye pattern when he used her power to call forth one of her giant toys to protect John. In Chapter 30, Yumeji's right eye takes on Chris's eye pattern when Yumeji uses Chris' [[Rocket Punch]] move}}
* {{spoiler|[[Heroic BSOD]]: Both Merry and Yumeji get hit with one. Merry when Engi tells her that, once they get into the real world, there's no way back to the dream world, and Yumeji after he realizes that by killing any Dream Demon who's already taken a vessel, ''[[Fridge Horror|they also destroy that person's dreams... both the at-night kind of dream AND the personal-ambition variety]] (the only exception to this being if is Merry the one defeating the Nightmares).}}
* [[Hey ItsIt's That Voice|Hey, Its That Voice!]]
** [[To Aru Majutsu no Index|Accelerator]] has finally gotten his wish and become a main character for truth and justice!
** [[Ichiban Ushiro no Daimaou|Peterhausen]] now leads an army of cats!
Line 132:
** Leon as well.
* [[Oblivious to Love]]: Yumeji to Isana
* [[Off -Model]]: Several scenes seem rushed and shoddy compared the rest.
* {{spoiler|[[Oh Crap]]:}} {{spoiler|Yumeji gets this when he hears the people in his class talking about how they all had the same nightmare. He uses his dram-seeing trick and...every single person has the same black aura.}}
** {{spoiler|Happens in episode nine of the anime when Yumeji learns that Isana's been possessed by a Dream Demon.}}
Line 141:
* [[Rapunzel Hair]]: Ichima and Engi
** Treesea
* [[Refuge in Audacity]]/[[Did We Just Have Tea With Cthulhu?]]: {{spoiler|Mr. Iijima}} trolls the ''entire'' cast by visiting the STO café; he sits down and orders coffee right in front of the protagonists. By this time they have already found out that {{spoiler|he's Treesea's vessel and the one responsible for a '''lot''' of literally crushed dreams}}, and they're also painfully aware that {{spoiler|he's scouting his next victim (Isana)}}, but right then and there they can't do anything about it.
* [[Redheaded Hero|Red Headed Heroine]]: Merry. Well more of a Burgundy. Yumeji's a straight example.
* [[Rocket Punch]]: Since he has [[Raymanian Limbs]], Chris Evergreen does this. {{spoiler|Yumeji is also able to do it later.}}
Line 150:
* [[She Is Not My Girlfriend]]: Yumeji about Merry in episode 5.
* [[Show Within a Show]]: ''Full Hell Boarder Glitchou'', a [[Tokusatsu]] series that Yumeji is a fan of.
* [[Spell My Name With an "S"]]: Do we go with Engi or its translation "Play"? Most say Engi.
** As "Engi", it has the meaning of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meadow "meadow]" in [http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/engi Icelandic] which would be fitting considering that her dream world is a meadow.
** Is it Treesea or Woodsea
Line 174:
** She calls Mistilteinn Treesea "Wood Lady"
* [[Theres No Place Like Home]]: Merry's main motivation. Curiously (it may be a plot point), Merry doesn't have enough of her memory intact to understand ''why'' she wants to go back -- she only knows ''that'' she wants to go back.
* [[Title Drop]]: In episode three as a [[In -Series Nickname|nickname]] for Merry given by Yumeji, comparing her to a ''baku'' -- a tapir-like beast from Japanese mythology which hunts and eats nightmares. She argues that she does not actually ''eat'' them.
** The fourth episode is also called "Dream Eater Merry".
*** It's because she actually refers to herself by that name when fighting [[Monster of the Week|Chris Evergreen]], showing that she has accepted Yumeji's help. In the episode that introduces Engi, there's a flashback to this moment when Merry speaks about how Yumeji has helped her to discover something meaningful in her life.
Line 186:
* {{spoiler|[[Wild Card]]:}} {{spoiler|Treesea in the anime. "I don't have allies, only targets."}}
* [[Winged Humanoid]]: Engi. Subverted since her [[Hair Wings|wings]] are made up of [[Prehensile Hair|her hair, but she can move them]].
* [[White -Haired Pretty Girl]]: Engi and Treesea.
* [[White Mask of Doom]]: Chaser John Doe.
* [[You Gotta Have Blue Hair]]: Isana's hair is lilac, Mei's is light green, Merry's is violet. Most of the demons' hair is an other-worldly colour anyhow.
