History Characters / SoulChessTheThirteenCourtGuardSquads

* RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap: Nozomi is probably regarded as ''the'' most despised character in all {{Manga/Bleach}} media (check her entry on Bleach's own character page; it has nary a positive thing to say about her). In this, she isn't given anything like as much exposure; her myth arc is reduced to just 1 chapter, which is mostly Rangiku and Kendra centric, and while she makes semi-regular appearances from then on, particularly as part of Lelouch's team that went to Japan for the Black Rebellion, she is not a SpotlightStealingSquad. Nobody fawns over her, and while strong enough to be a high ranking officer, she doesn't have the godmods she had during the Reigei arc. There are times when she's ''[[OOCIsSeriousBusiness grateful]]'' to others. While she's never going to be an EnsembleDarkhorse due to her canon representation, it's an improvement.

* ICantBelieveAGuyLikeYouWouldNoticeMe: Inverted. She’s been trying to get Lelouch’s attention for the longest time now, but [[PlayingHardToGet he never seems to accept her advances]]. [[ItsNotYouItsMyEnemies Can you]] [[HurtingHero really]] [[DidNotGetTheGirl blame him]]?

The [[RatedMForManly manly]] Vice-Captain of Squad 7. [[spoiler: Fired by Yuna Homura for disrespecting her when she is given the status of 7th Squad Captain. He is replaced by Susanna Shapikni]].

* {{Flanderisation}}: In canon omakes, he's portrayed as a bofoon in his duties as president of the Shinigami Men's Association; a RunningGag is that Nanao constantly has his budget reduced and given to her, having his [[RatedMForManly manliness]] crushed in the proccess. Here, he gets fired for implying that he sort of agreed with his squad's sexism, despite the fact that he showed no sign of this to the person who fired him only days before, and was perfectly civil with her then, and with all the other female leiutennants for that matter.

* CooldownHug: To [[spoiler: Unohana]]
* ShipperOnDeck: Was this for [[spoiler: Yuna/Lelouch]] [[ShipSinking before it was shut down]]

* WhipItGood: The shikai of her Zanpakuto.

* AsskickingEqualsAuthority: [[spoiler: Basically strongarms her way to becoming acting Sotaicho during the Zanpakto Rebellion; Yama is missing, Unohana incapacitated, and Shunsui and Ukitake unwilling.]]

* WillfullyWeak: Despite the fact that she could quite easily reach 3rd seat in [[AsskickingEqualsAuthority Eleventh Division]]. Kukaku is perfectly complacent in Tenth Division under [[spoiler: Lelouch]].

* [[spoiler: CryCute: Rangiku breaks down into a heartbroken sobbing mess in chapter 61 because she has been trying to get Lelouch's attention, but he just shrugs her off and it hurts her]].

* SimpleStaff: Her Zanpakuto's form

* HoistByHisOwnPetard: How his Zanpakuto works. [[spoiler: His Bankai takes UpToEleven. Poor Ulquiorra.]]

* AllPeriodsArePMS: UpToEleven. She pretty much runs the Shiba house on sheer terror alone--even Kaien cows to her will--during this time. In the one instance we see this. She is making Rukia, Ganju and Kaien labor for her breakfast and personal needs and is using two servants as her cushion and footrest and Kaien closing the door behind him after an exchange with her is described as "locking a dragon inside the room". Sympathies go out to the Shiba household.

* [[spoiler: BewareTheNiceOnes]]: Taken UpToEleven in her battle with Zurik. DO NOT piss off Momo. There's a reason the chapter is called [[spoiler:[[BreakTheCutie Break Momo]], die horribly, no exceptions]].

* ExpositoryHairstyleChange: Her braid is removed [[spoiler:for good]] and she [[RapunzelHair lets her hair cascade down]] after [[spoiler:becoming the Head Captain]].

* FoeYay: With Nelliel

* [[spoiler: HeroicBSOD: Has one when he realizes Miyako is a part of Mia]].

* [[spoiler: MyGreatestFailure: He survives the encounter with Metastacia, but not being able to stop Miyako's death constantly eats away at him]].

* WorldOfCardBoardSpeech: Delivers one to Mia saying that [[spoiler: It no longer matters to him that Miyako is a part of her. He will defeat her anyway]].

* [[spoiler: HeelFaceTurn]]: Lelouch convinces him to turn to [[spoiler: betray Aizen]]
* [[spoiler: HeroicBSOD]]: In the aftermath of the Battle of Karakura Town arcs. [[spoiler:He lost both his student and his best friend. It was bad enough that he considered resigning himself as captain until Lelouch intervened.]]
* [[spoiler:HoistByHisOwnPetard: Tosen nearly gets his team annihilated because Zurik is able to absorb the elemental energy in his Bankai]].
* [[spoiler: TheMole]]: His role [[spoiler:after his HeelFaceTurn.]]
* [[spoiler: SixthRanger]]: to the phantoms.
* [[spoiler: TeethClenchedTeamwork: With Yuna. She doesn't trust him for working with Aizen for so long; it's why she ends up as Shunsui's VC rather than his. Seems to have healed by the end, when he brings her some much needed medical supplies during HellOnEarth.]]
* [[spoiler: TheAtoner]]: Becomes this to make up for [[spoiler:the death of Shuhei and Sajin and all he did before Aizen tricked him into revenge. Yuna's going to make sure he sticks to it]].

* InstantAwesomeJustAddDragons: [[spoiler: Ryujin Jakka’s true form is a gigantic dragon]].

* [[spoiler: ReverseMole]]: His role [[spoiler:after his HeelFaceTurn.]]

* ShipTease: [[spoiler: [[ShipperOnDeck Lelouch]] tries to set him up with Yuna after she breaks up with him, due to their shared pasts with Mari, despite Ashido being a lot older than Yuna, though it's unlikely if anything comes of it given the lack of any mention of them interacting post Pursuit Of The Truth. Likely they're JustFriends. [[MentorShip Naomi is also a candidate]].]]

Keep in mind that these are only tropes NOT shown in the main series.

* [[spoiler: BigDamnHeroes: Even Death cannot stop him from helping out Lelouch in the Final Part of the Aizen's Revenge arc.]]

* [[spoiler: KilledOffForReal: [[WhamEpisode HOLY SHIT!]]

* [[spoiler: OhCrap: Talbumosuke thinks that the trick to use against Komamura's Bankai will also work against Yamomoto's. Long story short, it doesn't.]]

* [[spoiler: KilledOffForReal: [[WhamEpisode HOLY]] [[{{HSQ}} SHIT!]]]]

** [[spoiler: She follows up on it later when she realizes its all an act and asked Byakuya why he couldn't trust her. Cue SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments]].

** In an omake, [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments he joins in Ichigo's and Rukia's drunken singing]] after Kukaku has gone to bed.

* BerserkButton: In canon this is listed as "Emotion Showing Button" [[TheStoic with]] [[{{Kuudere}} good]] [[TranquilFury reason]]. In Fanfic/SoulChess this trope is played much more direct when [[spoiler: Talbumosuke cuts down Hisana]]. Byakuya [[UnstoppableRage completely loses it]]

** [[spoiler: She follows up on it later when she realizes its all an act and asked Byakuya why he couldn't trust her. Cue CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming]].

** In an omake, [[CrowningMomentOfFunny he joins in Ichigo's and Rukia's drunken singing]] after Kukaku has gone to bed.

** [[spoiler:Not too unexpected considering TiteKubo himself has gone on record saying Unohana is next in seniority (even though canonically Kyoraku got the title), but bearing in mind [[GuileHero who is]] [[TheChessmaster running the show here]] it's understandable to think [[WeakButSkilled Lelouch]] would've been promoted instead]].

* AManIsNotAVirgin: Ikkaku states that he is not a virgin after Shisato calls him out on it.

* MythologyGag: Chapter 74 [[FanFic/TalesOfBleachUnrealSociety is not the first time]] the author has had Momo sing [[GreenDay Wake Me Up When September Ends]].

* ActorAllusion: In chapter 78, saying that he believes in the path he’s chosen makes it seem like Izuru is about to whack Victor with a [[SoulSeries bo-staff]].

* [[AlternateUniverseReedRichardsIsAwesome Alternate Universe Sasakibe Chojiro Is Awesome]]: There's an omake called this and it does a damn good job of making an example of this trope; he has a Bankai which transforms him into [[ComicBook/TheMightyThor Thor]].

* [[AlternateUniverseReedRichardsIsAwesome Alternate Universe Sasakibe Chojiro Is Awesome]]: There's an omake called this and it does a damn good job of making an example of this trope; he has a Bankai which transforms him into {{Thor}}.
