History Fanfic / ISeeTheOcean

[[caption-width-right:350:some caption text]]

* ComicallyMissingThePoint: Despite Makomo's battle IQ and general intelligence, she is dense when it comes to romance. She doesn't understand why Sabito and Giyuu get upset when she keeps talking about Kyojuro's testicles, and explicitly asks why two teenagers would want to sneak away to be together.

* Coming of Age Story: All the kids at the beginning of the story grow up, in their bodies and in maturity.

* {{Adaptational Badass}}:
** In the series' source material, several demon slayers have enhanced senses. In ''I See the Ocean,'' Makomo has enhanced eyesight.
*** In chapter 10, it is mentioned that she can [[spoiler:see people's lips moving clearly enough to read their words from eight kilometres away.]]
*** Makomo can see through thin materials like shoji doors and eye masks.

* {{An Arm and a Leg}}:
** [[spoiler:Douma rips off Makomo's right arm.]]

* {{Art Attacker}}:
** Synesthetic imagery and other literary devices are used to supplement Makomo's enhanced vision and predictive ability.

* {{Awesomeness by Analysis}}:
** Makomo learns by watching. By observing natural weather phenomena, this leads to the creation of [[spoiler:storm breathing]].

* {{Badass Family}}:
** The Urokodaki family currently consists of Makomo, Sabito, and Giyuu, who are all noted to be very strong within the demon slayer community.

* {{Chekhovs Gun}}:
** Makomo complains about overextending her limbs a lot in the first third of the story. Ergo, [[spoiler:a demon rips her limb off]]

* {{Combat Medic}}:
** Shinobu.

* {{Comically Missing the Point}}:
** Despite Makomo's battle IQ and general intelligence, she is dense when it comes to romance. She doesn't understand why Sabito and Giyuu get upset when she keeps talking about Kyojuro's testicles, and explicitly asks why two teenagers would want to sneak away to be together.

* {{Face on the Cover}}:
** Makomo's face is drawn a lot.
*** Makomo's late teenage/early adult looks are inspired by K-pop idol Minji of NewJeans, as proclaimed by the author.

* {{Fatal Flaw}}:
** Makomo is consistently overconfident and a paranoid coward at the same time. This results in her keeping her foreknowledge a secret from mission planning, which then directly results in [[spoiler:her losing an arm]].

* {{First-Name Basis}}:
** Sabito and Giyuu panic over the fact that Makomo and Kyojuro are on a first-name basis. Hijinks ensue.

* {{Gone Horribly Wrong}}:
** Tengen and Kanae lead a mission with Makomo and Shinobu as their support to verify rumours of Upper Moon activity. However, [[spoiler:Douma]] takes an unexpected deviation in the route and confronts the two girls instead of the two Hashiras.

* {{Gut Punch}}:
** Makomo [[spoiler:loses an arm]] and thus loses the ability [[spoiler:to raise her arm above the shoulder or move it fast, despite it being reattached]]. This deviates from common self-insert tropes, as most of them do not mess with a standard self-insert formula.

* {{Its Personal}}:
** Shinobu becomes outwardly emotional and aggressive in chapter 11 due to [[spoiler:Douma scarring her sister's face and almost killing her]] and [[spoiler:when he dismembers her best friend]]

* {{Living Weapon}}:
** The demons are not to be messed around with.

* {{Nausea Fuel}}:
** A demon eats Makomo's parents and it is described vividly, with various metaphors and disgusting chewing sounds added to the writing for literary dramatic effect.

*** Notably in chapter 10, when Makomo describes Senjuro as [[spoiler:the kind of beautiful cherubic child that some people dream of violating]].
*** [[spoiler:Douma]] is implied to enjoy hunting women in more than one way.
** Medical gore and violation, with extreme detail

* {{Not So Stoic}}:
** Makomo tells cringey jokes to Sabito.

* {{Offscreen Moment of Awesome}}:
** Uzui and Kanae's tag teaming, holding off Douma during [[spoiler:when Kanae was supposed to die in canon]].

* {{Promoted to Parent}}:
** Urokodaki legally adopts Makomo.

* {{Ridiculously Photogenic}}:
** Douma is described to have "ethereal beauty" and "a fascinating face."

* {{Skip the Anesthetic}}:
** Shinobu and the Butterfly House medical team only give Makomo hallucinogens instead of anesthetic because they need to find out how much pain she can still feel to test her nerve damage on [[spoiler:the place her arm was, for reattachment surgery]].

* {{Strapped to an Operating Table}}:
** The surgeons do not attempt to listen to Makomo's concerns and they shove a rope back into her mouth during the surgery.

* {{The Internet Is For Porn}}:
** Makomo misses the 21st century's internet because of porn access.

* {{True Beauty Is on the Inside}}:
** Kyojuro falls for Makomo even though he can't see her face.

* {{True Companions}}:

* {{What Beautiful Eyes}}:
** Makomo's eyes are described to look like the ocean, and various artworks depict her eyes in stunning shades of blue, with hints of green and gold.
