History Characters / Kiznaiver

* SecondYearProtagonist

* EmptyShell: [[spoiler: Most of the children have become hollow remains of their former shelves.]]

* FreudianExcuse: Deconstructed by Nico. She states that Sonozaki's tragic past is not an excuse for the things she has done, and that she can't feel sorry for her, after the things Sonozaki put the Kiznas through.

'''WARNING:''' [-'''Unmarked spoilers ahead, please self-advise. Based on how the work is choreographed, various tropes here contain major plot spoilers!'''-]

* ZettaiRyouki: Grade A on her right leg and Grade E on her left.

[[folder: Ruru]]

* SmarterThanYouLook: Her plan to find the seventh Kiznaiver is the one which makes the most sense: hit Katsuhira lightly and see who reacts to it. Makes more sense than going around asking the students of their class.

* SingleWomanSeeksGoodMan: This is implied in the final episode to be the outlook Chidori ends up taking toward [[spoiler: [[SecondLove Tenga]]]]. [[spoiler: Tenga's {{Adorkable}} smile in response]] doesn't help to disprove the sentiment at all.

* BitchInSheepsClothing: Her parents don't seem to be aware of Ruru's unreciprocated feelings towards Maki, causing them to believe Maki was to blame for Ruru's disease acceleration due to Maki unfriending her.

* AllMenArePerverts: He is the subversion of the group. You have Tenga, who has shades of a LovableSexManiac, the {{Casanova}} Yuta and a teacher who plays dating sims in the middle of the class, but Katsuhira's lack of interest in a girl who openly likes him and Sonozaki's SmellsSexy scene seem, by comparison, almost asexual.

* {{Casanova}}: Spends the first episode with two girls all over him.
** CasanovaWannabe: Whatever his game might be, clearly does not work on Maki. [[spoiler: Taken even further when he reveals he is virgin, or rather a subversion of the casanova due to not being interested in the sex part.]]

* ChastityCouple: [[spoiler: With Katsuhira, seeing as they're still young. But she teases Chidori that she'll gladly change that should Katsuhira decides to take action.]]

* TheGirlNextDoor: She is Katsuhira's neighbour.

* {{Adorkable}}

* ThirdPersonPerson

* BigBad: They are the antagonists of the series so far.

* WellIntentionedExtremist: To end the wars in the world, they are willing to torture teens and [[spoiler: kids]] emotionally and physically, kidnap them, force them to complete seemingly random missions just for the sake of it and so on, mostly done with no regards for the well being and long term effects of doing so.

* LovableSexManiac: Between playing a dating sim demo and asking his students to send him pervy videos [[spoiler: of themselves]], it's no surprise that so many of said students openly call him out for being a pervert.

* AManIsNotAVirgin: [[spoiler:Subverted, he's never had sex and actually gets flushed on the idea of having with Maki.]]

** [[spoiler: IJustWantToHaveFriends]]: [[spoiler: The finale reveals the reason why The First Generation Kiznaivers failed to gain back their sensations was by Sonozaki's own conscience. Due to her FriendlessBackground, she took the Kiznaiver linkage as the only way to keep her friends connected to her, and was unwilling to let go of her friends' linkage in fear they will never be friends with her after the experiment ends. It the finale, she attempted to link herself with the whole city population to absorb everyone's pain in order to help her 5 closest Kiznaivers regain conscience.]]

* AmbiguouslyBi: [[spoiler: Her friendship with Ruru and the Girls Love manga she wrote when they were younger might imply that they were more than just friends. While she ultimately turned her down, she never confirms or denies whether or not she returned her feelings.]]
** [[spoiler: Episodes 8 and 9 confirm that she ''did'' return them, and that Ruru's status as TheLostLenore is the only thing that's preventing her and Yuta from becoming a couple.]]
** The ending confirms she is BiTheWay.

* CharacterDevelopment: After[[spoiler: dealing with her grief over Ruru]] she starts being nicer and more open to the idea of being friends with the Kiznaivers.

* {{Expy}}: She resembles Yoko from ''Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann''.

* {{Expy}}: His overall design and personality are very similar to Kamina from ''Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann''. Even the way he acts around Katsuhira is similar to the way Kamina would behave around Simon if they had just met. [[http://imgur.com/6UbC5bH Case in point]]...[[Anime/KillLaKill When you don't count]] [[http://imgur.com/FZpRTPQ that other guy into the equation.]]

* {{Expy}}: Personality wise she's [[Anime/KillLaKill Mako Mankanshoku]], while physically she looks almost exactly like [[Anime/KillLaKill Nui Harime]].

* {{Expy}}: To ''Anime/KillLaKill'''s Satsuki Kiryuin. She seems like a far more collected version of her, but with the same sadistic note on her actions and the WellIntentionedExtremist tendencies.

* {{Expy}}: He's a mix between mostly of ''Anime/KillLaKill'''s Uzu Sanageyama (especially with their [[http://imgur.com/O7Gf2VX sporty apparel]] [[note]]Double bonus of that sleep mask donning 1 star for each eye.[[/note]] and high ranking in the secret organization which drives the events of the plot forward), a tiny bit of Aikuro Mikisugi, with a dash of [[Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann Kamina]]'s [[LargeHam hamminess]] thrown into the mix.

* {{Expy}}: To some extent, they are the darker versions of [[Anime/{{Doraemon}} Takeshi Goda and Suneo Honekawa]] if Suneo hadn't been [[DirtyKid the dirty]] [[RichBitch rich kid]].

* {{Expy}}: She's a fairly accurate representation of what [[Anime/KillLaKill Mako Mankanshoku]] would look like with ''Kiznaiver'''s art style.

* FirstGirlWins: [[spoiler: She's chronologically the first girl Katsuhira met, and they end up together.]]

Composed of 19 children 12 years prior to where the story started, The First Generation Kiznaivers were mostly children of The Kiznaiver Project's researchers and sponsors. [[spoiler: Katsuhira and Sonozaki]] are revealed to be part of this generation of Kiznaivers, with [[spoiler: Sonozaki]] releasing the names of 3 of the 5 people she was closed to: Yuki, Shiori, and Asuka, while [[spoiler: Katsuhira]] released the last 2: Pon-chan, and Tonko; [[spoiler: who all unfortunately couldn't be released back into society due to total loss of sensation]].
