History Anime / IsekaiNoSeikishiMonogatari

* WhiteHairedPrettyGirl: Yukine, a combination of TheStoic and a ShrinkingViolet.

* HoneyTrap: Maria persuades Yukine into trying to set one for Kenshi, to both [[ShipperOnDeck help her bodyguard win Kenshi's heart]] and [[SchoolgirlRival put one over on Lashara]].

* ColorCodedForYourConvenience: the various Seikijin have colors and outward appearances dependent on who is piloting them.

** ColourfulThemeNaming: Those Four Girls have names loosely based on their hair colors -- Yellis, Bwoole, Gryino, and Wreda.
*** Their ''Seikijin'' is even the same color as their hair color, taking this trope [[UpToEleven]].

* CastAsAMask: Used as a RedHerring when Mexiah had the same voice actress as the mysterious masked woman Neizai who tended to show up when Mexiah disappeared. [[spoiler:Mexiah was actually the alter ego of Doll (different actress), and Neizai was actually Reia Second (different actress). The show actually throws a red herring in the WhamEpisode, when Ulyte talks to Neizai while the camera shows a closeup of Mexiah with MindControlEyes... with her mouth conveniently obscured.]]

** There are also multiple references to Kajishima's ''[[{{Photon}} Photon: The Idiot Adventures]]''. The Koros are more realistic versions of the animal mascot from ''Photon''; Lashara's name is a reference to both Photon Earth and Lashara Moon, while Flora and Maria share the surname Nanadan with the villain Papacha. Also, Ahou magic was the {{MacGuffin}} of the ''Photon'' series.

* SharingABody: [[spoiler:After Neizai[=/=]Reia's core crystal was implanted in Ulyte, they ended up switching forms depending on whose will was stronger. Neizai eventually took full control of their body when Ulyte's strength gave out.]]

* SpiderTank: Wahan's Kikoujin[=/=]Mechanoids.

* {{Tsundere}}: Lashara, Chiaia, and Lithia all fit the bill to some degree.

Now with a [[Characters/IsekaiNoSeikishiMonogatari character sheet]] that NeedsMoreLove.

* AbsurdlyPowerfulStudentCouncil: [[JustifiedTrope Justified]] due to the fact that many world leader's children go to this school. [[spoiler: one episode they elect Kenshi to the school government just so that everyone's attention will be on him and they can actually get work done.]]

* {{BFS}}: Some of the Seikijin wield these. In episode 12 [[spoiler: Kenshi compresses a ''mountain'' to create a huge stone {{BFS}}. Which turns into an even bigger LaserSword in the final episode. Which then turns into a smaller but far more powerful ''Light Hawk Sword'']].

* CastAsAMask: Used as a red herring when Mexiah had the same voice actress as the mysterious masked woman Neizai who tended to show up when Mexiah disappeared. [[spoiler:Mexiah was actually the alter ego of Doll (different actress), and Neizai was actually Reia Second (different actress). The show actually throws a red herring in the WhamEpisode, when Ulyte talks to Neizai while the camera shows a closeup of Mexiah with MindControlEyes... with her mouth conveniently obscured.]]

* ConvenientlyUnverifiableCoverStory: Lashara and Chiaia decide to hide Kenshi's connection to the white Seikijin that attacked the ''Swan'' in the first episode by having him serve as one of Lashara's servants. Instead of revealing he's from another dimension (which would basically ruin the deception by itself), Kenshi hides his unfamiliarity with the customs of the world of Geminar by claiming to be from "Kouchi" -- the highlands above the Draft of Ena which powers the Seikijin and the other {{Magitek}}, and whose residents are conveniently isolated socially as well as physically.

* FauxActionGirl: As mentioned above, Lan comes across as a Faux DarkActionGirl. More generally, the trope gets ''inverted'' here: most Seikishi (pilots) are female, and the few male pilots are coddled, condescended to, given substandard training, and treated like "stud horses". Dagmyer's rebellion is partially a JackieRobinsonStory, trying to prove that male Seikishi can hold their own on the battlefield -- but after a promising start, they get shoved to the sidelines and outshone by the women on Babalun's side. (Kenshi and Aura's father are full-fledged Action Guys, though.)

* HumongousMecha: The Seikijin. Prominent in episode one. Then all but ignored until episode 8.
* IDidntMeanToTurnYouOn: Kenshi is a rather bizarre case. In episode 3, Mexiah somehow brainwashes him to make him turn into a "berserker massage machine" at her command. Then she gets Wahan, Aura, Lithia, Yukine, and various other girls to help him practice without getting into the specifics. Afterwards, all of them are left in states of heightened arousal and sensitivity; in Yukine's case, ''just being lightly tapped on the back'' nearly triggered an orgasm. In episode 6, Lashara and Maria trigger his "massage machine" state again to get payback from Queen Flora for their earlier humiliations in that episode -- knowing only that Kenshi's massages leave girls "paralyzed", and not the nature of said "paralysis". This backfires on them; they are forced to stay up all night to make sure Flora didn't take things any further, [[spoiler: and from that moment on Flora has an [[{{Shotacon}} interest]] in poor Kenshi]].
* IfItsYouItsOkay: The girls like Kenshi so much they are willing to let him wash their backs, as in Hotsprings bath.
* KarmicDeath: In episode 11, [[spoiler: Cliff kidnaps Ceres and Hazuki and [[IHaveYourWife uses Hazuki]] to force Ceres to become an ActionBomb in a bid to kill Kenshi]]. Needless to say, [[spoiler: Cliff meets his end less than halfway through the episode]]. Also a case of LaserGuidedKarma. [[spoiler: Dagmyer]], who reluctantly approved of the plan in the first place, [[spoiler: suffers a milder karmic punishment in the form of a FreakOut and VillainousBreakdown that he doesn't recover from until the end of the ''next'' episode]].
** This is a borderline example, since [[spoiler: Kenshi did throw Cliff off a cliff]]. However, since [[spoiler: it was Cliff's scheme that sent Kenshi into UnstoppableRage in the first place]] it still fits.

* LikesOlderWomen: [[spoiler: Dagmyer]] apparently, with Cordyline.

* OldMaid: Mexiah can be considered part of this as at her age she is still not married.

* OverShadowedByAwesome: Turns out Kenshi is one of the ''weakest'' members of his family, imagine the others then.

* UnstoppableRage: Subverted. Kenshi's rage does give him the power to escape from a deadly trap on his own and grants his Seikijin increased strength, but it also [[Heroic RROD causes the mecha to reach its operational limits even faster]].

At the beginning of the show Kenshi has been told he needs to help with an assassination plot in return for going home. The target of assassination is the newly crowned queen of one of the lands in this world. When faced with killing a girl roughly the same age as him he can't do it. Eventually, he ends up being a servant of the queen while she is attending a super elite school for nobility and pilots for somewhat organic looking super robots. Being the little brother of the guy who pretty much made the HaremGenre what it is today, it doesn't take long before the good ole [[ChickMagnet Masaki-charm ]] goes to work and gets chased by almost every girl in the school.....literally.

* BadAss: [[OneManArmy Kenshi]], it runs in the family.

* BetaCouple: Ceres and his girlfriend Hazuki, once they join the crew of the Swan.

* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: Kenshi, Flora.

** FauxActionGirl as well, as she hardly ever fights, and in these cases is usually completely dominated not only by Kenshi or Neizai, but bu Emera as well.

* EverythingsBetterWithPrincesses
* {{Expy}}: To keep it short, Kenshi is Tenchi's half brother as such he has almost all the traits of his sibling in ''TenchiMuyo'', only in a different world.

* HotBlooded: King of Shurifon, who's chewing the scenery in almost all his scenes. Quite an unusual behavior for an ''elf''.

* LargeHam: [[BigBad Babalun]], though the [[OurElvesAreBetter king of Shurifon ]] also breaks out ham and cheese quite regularly.
* LikesOlderWomen: [[spoiler: Dagmyer]] apparently.

* MundaneMadeAwesome: Kenishi using his SuperStrength,speed, and Badassness to do chores around the school. A ''lot'' faster than the staff can handle(ex. by the time it took a maid to finish half her room cleanings, he finished the same number and came to help her). And that mosaic on the arc. While the three artisans are discussing how to replicate the original mosaic on one tower, Kenshi was already done.
* MythologyGag: Kenshi's constant musings about his older sisters, who are obviously Tenchi's harem. None of them have shown up in the show yet, except for a silhouette of Washuu hypnotizing Kenshi. In addition, Kenshi behaves like Ryo-Ohki when upset, and has a shard of crystal from Ryo-Ohki in a necklace. Doll is very similar to D of ''Anime/ParallelTroubleAdventureDual'' both in terms of appearance and origins.

* TheOjou: Aura, Lithia, Morga.

* SequelHook: Nothing else can be said about the ultra-ambiguous ending. The jewels still glowing, ends with the antagonists, etc, etc.

* {{Shotacon}}: Mexiah's [[spoiler: and Flora's]] interest in 15 year old Kenshi is a little disturbing at times.

* ThisCannotBe: [[spoiler: Cliff]] has a FreakOut when he sees that Kenshi escaped his "perfect" plan to kill him. [[spoiler: Babalun has a similar reaction in the final episode when Kenshi cleaves the "unbreakable" Gaia's Shield]].

* ToxicPhlebotinum: A lesser variation -- most Ahou technology makes normal people ill without shielding. Seikishi(pilots) are people who can use the Seikijin mecha [[HourOfPower for a useful amount of time]] before becoming sick.

* UnstoppableRage: Subverted. Kenshi's rage does give him the power to escape from a deadly trap on his own and grants his Seikijin increased strength, but it also causes the mecha to reach its operational limits even faster.

* WorldOfActionGirls

* WellIntentionedExtremist: Dagmyer wants to change the status quo because he's sick of being treated like a stud horse. Too bad he's doing this by following [[CompleteMonster Babalun's]] orders.

** Due to cooking skills, strength/speed, and all around niceness.

* WhatDoYouMeanItsNotAwesome: Kenishi using his SuperStrength,speed, and Badassness to do chores around the school. A ''lot'' faster than the staff can handle(ex. by the time it took a maid to finish half her room cleanings, he finished the same number and came to help her). And that mosaic on the arc. While the three artisans are discussing how to replicate the original mosaic on one tower, Kenshi was already done.

Parallel Trouble Adventure]]'' both in terms of appearance and origins.

* RunningGag: Relentless attempts of the older heroines (mainly Mexiah and Flora, but it's not only them) to ''[[RapeAsComedy have their way]]'' with Kenshi.

* StalkerWithATestTube: The general attitude about breeding Seikishi -- particularly ''male'' Seikishi, who get treated like stud horses and eventually end up in {{Bureaucratically Arranged Marriage}}s. The women are just expected to have babies with designated partners.

* ClingyJealousGirl: Lashara when she actually sees affection that might get Kenshi from under her thumb. Chiaia whenever Kenshi appears too happy. Both whenever there's something to blame or exploit.

* CompleteMonster: [[BigBad Babalun]]. [[spoiler: Cliff and Lan]] turn into these as the series progresses.

* HighOctaneNightmareFuel: [[UnstoppableRage Episode]] [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown 11]].

* MoralEventHorizon: Episode 11 is one for [[spoiler: Cliff]]. Which leads to the above KarmicDeath.

* NeverLiveItDown: Kenshi's massages are mentioned as taking away your virginity; yeah, they don't work that way but they give the person massaged that feeling, it seems.

* BloodLessCarnage: You can rip a Sekishi in pieces, but you never see anything else really bleed.
* BodyGuardCrush: Emera to Dagmyer.

* ClingyJealousGirl: Lashara when she actually sees the affection. Chiaia whenever he appears too happy. Both whenever there's something to blame or exploit.

* StalkerWithATestTube: The general attitude about breeding Seikishi -- particularly ''male'' Seikishi, who get treated like stud horses.
* SupremeChef: Turns out all Kenshi needed to make his soup better was [[spoiler: adding dried and powdered bugs]].

* UnluckyChildHoodFriend: Chiaia to Dagmyer. It comes to a head in episode 9 when [[spoiler: [[ManipulativeBastard Dagmyer tries to exploit her crush]] by asking her to kill Kenshi. In a ShoutOut to an incident in the original ''TenchiMuyo'' OVA, she nearly goes through with it but backs out at the last moment.]] Even after this she still tries to persuade Dagmyer to change his mind before it's too late. During a very tense situation she ultimately [[spoiler: chooses to go with Kenshi to save Lashara instead of staying with Dagmyer. This just causes Dagmyer to resent Kenshi even more.]]

* MiningAccidentOnTroy: Kenshi hides his unfamiliarity with the customs of the world of Geminar by claiming to be from "Kouchi" -- the highlands above the Draft of Ena which powers the Seikijin and the other {{Magitek}}. Geminar's actually familiar with sliders brought from other worlds, but admitting that Kenshi's one would just open a can of worms.

* CakeEater: [[spoiler: Dagmyer]] apparently.
