Loads And Loads Of Characters is no longer a trope


* LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters: The series started off with thirty-one students, one teacher, one principal, and two advisors. It has since expanded with new characters coming in from the magical community.
** The [[Characters/NegimaMagisterNegiMagi character page]] had to be split in ''seven'' because it broke the folder system. Twice.

Added DiffLines:

* JawDrop: [[WeaselMascot Chamo]] does this in chapter 50 when he sees Negi run out of magic, the Giant Oni is standing in front of him, and the powerhouse mage behind him gets out of his bind.
* JumpedAtTheCall
** Nodoka's Pactio was accidental, but her very first thought after discovering Diarium Ejus and seeing Negi in trouble was to use it to help him. Also, after the gang got separated in the Mundus Magicus, she joined up with a band of adventurers and sought two magical items that could give her Diarium Ejus a massive powerup, knowing the time will come when Negi will finally need her help.
** Haruna, unlike the others, had no reservations in kissing Negi for magic powers. In fact, literally the first time she saw Negi after learning about pactios she jumped him to get her own artifact...unfortunately there wasn't a magic circle drawn on the ground at the time so it only resulted in a confused Negi.
* KabukiSounds: In Negima?!, to highlight Setsuna's samurai qualities.
* KarmicDeath: [[spoiler: Negi is ''not happy'' with Quartum's treatment of Chachamaru.]]
* KarmaHoudini: [[spoiler: Fate]] can be seen as one considering everything he did to Negi is glossed over in the end, though he does redeem himself.
* {{Keigo}}: Negi is extremely formal to all but his closest and oldest friends.
* KiManipulation: Ki is in some ways the opposite of magic in that you create your own energy instead of pulling it in from the air around you. It can apparently be used in the same ways, though. Ku Fei starts the series as a peak martial artist, but before long begins using ki attacks. She lags behind the rest of the group, most of whom already used ki or magic.
* KickThemWhileTheyAreDown: Kotarou suggests this trope to Negi during their fight with [[InvincibleHero Jack Rakan]], but he decides not to, not due to [[HonorBeforeReason any sense of fairness]], but rather that he was pretty sure [[NighInvulnerability Rakan was faking it.]]
** And Negi was right on the money, his big attack did nothing to Jack.
* KillSat: Al-Iskandariya's, [[spoiler:part of Chachamaru's artifact]], is a massive satellite in orbit that can fire giant magical beams. [[spoiler:Also, it's shaped like a kitty.]]
* {{Kimodameshi}}: 3-A's haunted house is basically one of these.
* KissingDiscretionShot: When [[spoiler:Nagi and Arika]] kiss in chapter 269.
* KissingUnderTheInfluence: Due to a wish that Nodoka makes under the World Tree, Negi becomes magically compelled to attempt to kiss her. Asuna eventually intercepts him and nearly passes out due to how long it takes.
* {{Knighting}}: Princess Arika informally named Nagi her knight when she asked him to fight for her so they could save the Magic World from the war and Cosmo Entelecheia.
* LadyAndKnight: Konoka Konoe and Setsuna Sakurazaki
* LadyOfWar: Princess Arika and Setsuna.
* LanguageOfMagic: Latin, for common spells. Ancient Greek for High Ancient magic. Sanskrit for even more Ancient magic.
* LaserGuidedAmnesia: Some memory altering spells help protect the {{Masquerade}}
* LastNameBasis: For some reason, Asakura seems to be pretty much the only member for the class still referred to by her last name more often than her first.
* LateForSchool: [[LampshadeHanging noted]] by Setsuna on one of the few days they weren't late and [[StatusQuoIsGod "Yet they run"]]
* LavaAddsAwesome: The Ultimate Spell of Earth element wouldn't be awesome enough without it.
* LawyerFriendlyCameo: Ku:nel Sanders
* LeaningOnTheFourthWall: The characters seem at least somewhat aware they're in a manga series. Ako constantly refers to herself as a "side character", for instance.
* LecherousLicking: Evangeline licking Negi's wound, and Tsukuyomi licking her blade.
* LeftHanging:
** The Kansai mages' plot is never really resolved, and a number of threads get cut short by the GeckoEnding in the first anime ''Negima!'' for lack of time.
** The manga ending got hit by this even worse. All the major plot points were resolved off-panel and a number of minor ones were left dangling. There's also several ambiguous resolutions such as not revealing how the BigBad was defeated and who Negi ended up with. Sure, at least these two things were made more clear in the StealthSequel ''Manga/UQHolder'' years after the main manga ended. However, if you wanted answers to other plot points such as [[spoiler:who the Gravekeeper is, what happened to Arika]] or any number of other things like that, sorry, you won't get to know.
* LetsGetDangerous
** Chisame's artifact is normally incredibly situational but during the magic world arc she [[spoiler:hacks into Kurt Godel's security and completely trashes the system, shattering his illusions.]] Near the end of the manga she one ups herself [[spoiler:by hijacking Al-Iskandaria at firing the KillSat.]]
** When Dynamis attacks her group and [[spoiler:erases Craig and Aisha]] Nodoka uses the opportunity to catch him unaware, [[spoiler:steal his key and teleport to safety.]] She can't fight back, but she doesn't really need to.
-->'''Nodoka:''' "You made the mistake... of thinking of me as a mere powerless girl, Mr. Mage... [[GivingSomeoneThePointerFinger WHAT IS]] [[PreAssKickingOneLiner YOUR NAME?!]]"
* LetUsNeverSpeakOfThisAgain: After the "Kissing Terminator" incident with Negi, Asuna demands that nobody ever mention it again.
* LightheartedRematch: Due to Kotaro's love for fighting, post Kyoto arc he and Negi seem to squabble and fight a lot of fun to prove which is stronger. Negi initially doesn't care, but later he grows to enjoy such rematches.
* LightningGlare: Asuna and Ayaka frequently get into this early on in the series.
* LikeBrotherAndSister: Kotaro views Natsumi as a sister, though for her part she's crushing on him.
* LingerieScene: During the pre fight between Asuna and Setsuna, they begin dressing themselves without paying attention and end up wearing some quite revealing undergarments.
* LiveActionAdaptation: ''Negima!!''. Yes, there are supposed to be two exclamation points.
* LivingShadow: Zazie's 'friends'.
* [[OnlySaneEmployee Liz Lemon Job]]: Chisame's job is to BrightSlap Negi every time he does or considers doing [[WhatTheHellHero something profoundly stupid]]. She's even better at it than Asuna, which is good since Negi and Asuna were separated for most of the Magic World.
* LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters: The series started off with thirty-one students, one teacher, one principal, and two advisors. It has since expanded with new characters coming in from the magical community.
** The [[Characters/NegimaMagisterNegiMagi character page]] had to be split in ''seven'' because it broke the folder system. Twice.
* LockDown: Why are there blast doors in Library Island?
* LookWhatICanDoNow: Negi pulls out no less than '''five''' new techniques as trump cards during his fight with Rakan. Trump card number 3 was basically an ''upgrade'' to trump card number 2, and trump card number 4 wasn't even used except to trick Rakan into helping Negi set up for trump card number 5. Kotaro also demonstrates a brand new form and a few new techniques during that fight.
* LostInTranslation: The official Del Rey English release removed foreshadowing for jokes and innuendo in several places, and made it so Negi was at the bottom of his class instead of the top, among other things. The Omnibus re-releases fixed this.
* LotusEaterMachine: [[spoiler: Cosmo Entelecheia, apparently.]]
* LoveChart: Chamo can apparently produce love charts with some weird magic and isn't even aware of what will be on them until he looks himself.
** There is also [[http://img26.imageshack.us/img26/305/negima.png this chart]], ''which has to leave some things out''.
* LoveConfession: All over the place. Many students to Negi, Nagi to [[spoiler: Arika]], Asuna to Takamichi, and so forth.
* LoveDodecahedron: Chamo describes it as something of a web
* LoveIsInTheAir: When Asuna force-feeds Negi his own love potion; particularly notable in ''Negima!''
* LovePotion: See above. Also, the love chocolates which Asuna mistook for just plain chocolate that caused her to become infatuated with Negi for a whole day, though it's specifically pointed out that magic isn't supposed to work on Asuna, making it questionable [[ShipTease how much effect they had.]]
** Although it is hinted that Asuna is more strongly protected from magical ''attacks'' than magic in general. She can still form pactios and be magically carried, such as by Negi's staff or [[spoiler: Misora's broom]], even though the lifting power is slightly weakened.
* LoverTugOfWar: Having a battle harem will cause this to happen at one point.
* LoveTriangle: Lampshaded [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments when Nodoka looks in her artifact]] for clues to resolve the situation.
