History Manga / PandoraHearts

* CoolGun: Gil's got some nice revolvers.

* ThreeAmigos: Oz, Alice and Gilbert especially once the latter two [[CharacterDevelopment warmed up to each other]].

* {{Bishonen}}:
** Let's jump right in: Oz, Gil, Break, Vincent, Elliot, Jack, Glen [[spoiler:(Levi, Oswald, ''and'' Leo, after his ImportantHaircut)]], Duke Barma, Reim, Cheshire... [[SarcasmMode Did we miss]] [[CastFullOfPrettyBoys anyone?]]
** Reim is a notable example; the fact that no male or female pronouns were used to refer to him for some time didn't help. They fixed this in the anime however, giving him less feminine features and a [[Creator/JunichiSuwabe decidedly male voice]].

%% * GettingCrapPastThe Radar: Due to overwhelming and persistent misuse, GCPTR is on-page examples only until 01 June 2021. If you are reading this in the future, please check the trope page to make sure your example fits the current definition.

* PeekABangs: Break's bangs cover the left side of his face [[spoiler:because his left eye socket is empty]]. Cheshire's bangs cover the right side of his face. [[spoiler:This is not a coincidence. He has Break's left eye]].

[[caption-width-right:315:Pictured: [[BrokenHero Oz Vessalius.]] Not pictured: [[CowardlyLion Gilbert Nightray]] and [[LittleMissBadass Alice.]]]]

* OverprotectiveDad: Oscar, who may not be Ada's real father but treats Ada like his own daughter. In Retrace 24, he is outraged that Ada is "in love with someone," and drags Oz, Gilbert, and Alice to help look for Ada in her school in Lutwidge and find out just ''who'' she has a crush on. Though [[RedHerring hints]] point to either Gil (treasuring the hat that Ada gave him) or Elliot (as she was disappointed that she couldn't return his school bag to him), it later turns out to be [[spoiler:Vincent]].

** When [[spoiler:Break]] dies, [[spoiler:Sharon]] lets out an anguished scream. All the more heartbreaking due to how [[TheChick calm, composed]] and [[{{Ojou}} ladylike]] [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness she generally is]].

** Sharon--TheChick. She's the peacekeeper and emotional support of the group.

* OffModel: The anime. [[http://pandora-derps.tumblr.com/ There's a blog dedicated to collecting these]].

* FireworksOfLove: In Retroce XXXIII, Oz and Echo watch fireworks together during their NotADate at a festival. Oz then gives Echo a hair brooch, something Echo knows is supposed to be a romantic gesture even if Oz doesn't get it.

* SwordCane: Break again.

* ThirdPersonPerson: Echo.

* TimeAbyss: The Abyss (of course), which has been stated to be a god-like entity that is both the end and the beginning of the world. Glen Baskerville [[spoiler:(his soul and legacy, at least)]] and [[spoiler:Jury]] are also implied to be this as well.

* WorldOfChaos: [[EldritchLocation The Abyss]].

* {{Yandere}}: Hoo boy.

* FeudingFamilies: Nightray and Vessalius.

* FourthWallObserver[=/=]MediumAwareness: [[spoiler: The Jury]] are well aware of the fact that the events transpiring is nothing but a story being recorded into a book.

* [[KnightTemplarBigBrother Knight Templar Younger Brother]]: Vincent.
* KnowledgeBroker: Rufus Barma.
* LargeHam: Uncle Oscar has shades of this. He even overshadows Alice sometimes...
** Alice is {{Chewing the Scenery}} like it's going out of style.

''[=PandoraHearts=]'' is a DarkFantasy manga by Jun Mochizuki [[GenreMashup (although it is considered an amalgamation of many, many different genres)]], which was serialized in Creator/SquareEnix's ''Monthly G Fantasy'' magazine from 2006 to 2015. It was made into an anime series airing in 2009. Yen Press has published the English-language version of the manga for North America, and [[Creator/NipponIchi NIS America]] has announced their intent to localize the anime in a bid for new ground.

!!''[=PandoraHearts=]'' provides examples of:

* PoisonousFriend: During the first half of the manga, Gilbert had the increasingly powerful urge to [[spoiler:kill Alice]]--both because [[spoiler:her contract with Oz was slowly killing him]] and he was [[spoiler:[[GreenEyedMonster incredibly jealous of how close she was to him]]]]. CharacterDevelopment allows him to develop a much healthier mindset, and [[spoiler:after a while he no longer counts as this trope]].

* DancesAndBalls: Oz's Second Coming of Age ceremony. [[spoiler:Turns out, it was a ploy to get several people in one place for a plot to repeat the Tragedy of Sablier. The plot failed, [[KillEmAll but that doesn't]] stop it from [[BreakTheCutie not ending well]].]]

* IHaveTheHighGround: Alice goes out of her way to provide examples for this trope.

* SeriousBusiness: Gil is ''very'' attached to his [[NiceHat hat]]. Epic arm-wrestling ensues.

* NiceHat:
** Gilbert's hat is very becoming on him.
** There's also Break's chain, TheMadHatter. However, although it is a nice looking hat, seeing it is ''not'' a [[FamilyUnfriendlyDeath good sign]]. Break himself sometimes sports one.

* LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters: And all of them will be integral/contribute to the plot in some way. Even Isla Yura.
** Thankfully, it's a CastOfSnowflakes, so they're all quite easy to distinguish from each other.

* RapunzelHair:
** Jack. A braid that long... fluttering in the wind?
** Alice too.
** [[spoiler:Lacie]] had this too, at least when she was young.

* SpotOfTea: Break and Sharon are almost always drinking tea.
