* FreudianExcuse: The reasons behind her abusive treatment of Kousei are later revealed: [[spoiler:she really loved him, but her illness made her push him too hard. She was scared at the prospect of leaving him alone in the world with no source of income, so she pushed him harder and harder in order to be sure that he would be able to earn a good living as a musician. When Hiroko calls her out on her overly harsh treatment of her son, Saki reveals that she is deeply panicked because she knows she's running out of time to teach him all she feels she must in order to secure his future.]]

She was scared at the prospect of leaving him alone in the world with no source of income, so she pushed him harder and harder in order to be sure that he would be able to earn a good living as a musician. But to that end, she denied Kousei sleep, forbid him to play with friends, and beating him black and blue. When Kousei [[CallingTheOldManOut calls her out over all the bloody beatings she dishes out on him]], he admits what ultimately desired him to strive to be the best pianist was to make her happy and hoped if he played perfect scores, then his mother would be cured of her terminal illness. But now Kousei feels done with taking his mother's abuse and outright wishes she die. When Hiroko calls her out on her overly harsh treatment of her son, Saki reveals that she is deeply panicked because she knows she's running out of time to teach him all she feels she must in order to secure his future.]]

Your Costume Needs Work doesn't fit, since Emi isn't mistaken for an imposter.

The trope involves an original being mistaken for an imposter.


* YourCostumeNeedsWork: Her teacher busts her out trying to sneak into Kousei's performance while wearing a hoodie and a surgical mask. It's kinda hard to get past the mentor that knows you since you were little, though.

* FourPhilosophyEnsemble:
** Kousei is the Cynic - in spite of his kindness, he's emotionally traumatized, pessimistic, melancholic and brooding.
** Kaori is the Optimist - very cheerful GenkiGirl who follows her dreams and constantly pushes through [[spoiler: despite her illness]].
** Ryota is the Realist - while he's normally optimistic and carefree, he's also quite down to earth and far more levelheaded than he looks.
** Tsubaki is the Conflicted - kind, yet both with a quiet and gentle side and a more short-tempered and energetic one, and often feels emotionally misunderstood.



* NiceGuy: He's [[ByronicHero intensely introspective]] and [[TheCynic nihilistic]], but he's a very kind guy, conscious and considerate of how he acts with others, and does care for his friends. He isn't by any means cold and unapproachable, despite what his rivals may have thought.

* PrettyBoy: The cute and nerdy version, as he's a bespectacled and good-looking young pianist.



* SensitiveArtist: A sensitive, shy and emotionally traumatized young pianist.



* TheStoic: Played straight at the beginning and played for laughs later on. Takeshi and Emi know Kousei as a deadpan, expressionless mountain to climb (though they both know that he didn't use to be like that when they first met him). In later episodes, they tend to proceed under this same assumption, not realizing that Kousei is nowhere as unapproachable as they think he is.

* FourTemperamentEnsemble:
** Kousei is Melancholic, as he's kind but also quite serious, thoughtful and tends to see things in a cynical, pessimistic way.
** Kaori is Choleric, as she's very passionate and hot-tempered. However, she's far more sympathetic than most cholerics, and is a kind person; overall, if not compared to other characters she would be between sanguine and choleric.
** Tsubaki is Eclectic. She loves sports and is an energetic tomboy, but is peaceful, kind and friendly most of the time. Still, she does have her temper.
** Ryota is Sanguine, since he's kind, energetic, and almost always happy and cheerful.
