* BagOfHolding: The Hammerspace Bag.



* CompetitionFreak: Character with the Competitive Quirk.



* InvisibilityCloak: The Sneaking Suit Artifact.



* TheKlutz: A character with the "Clumsy" Quirk. Comes in CuteClumsyGirl flavors.



* ShrinkingViolet: Characters with the "Shy" Quirk.
* SkeletonKey: A Skeleton Key is a listed artifact.



* {{Telepathy}}: 2 Gimmicks involve this, both of which are Esper Gimmicks. One is Brain Drain, which lets you MindProbe people, while the gimmick actually called this lets you communicate telepathically. It can be cross classed, but is best used by the Esper class since while untethered they can communicate with any number of people over any distance with no effort, while other characters can only communicate with one person over a larger distance, and cannot attack while they're doing so. It can also be used to see when people are lying.

* KamahameHadoken: The Chi Blast Gimmicks lets Shonin fire energy blasts by default, but they can also apply a variety of additional effects to them. Normally this would result in them burning an equal amount of points, and forces them to make an additional Powerful check at a higher difficulty depending on how many effects they add, They can, however, avoid this every once and a while by shouting the name of the attack out loud-so if you're playing with a Shonin with this Gimmick expect to hear stuff like this often.

* MindPrope: The Brain Drain Gimmick lets Espers do this. At first, they can only ask yes-or-no questions, but after becoming untethered they can ask any sort of question. Unfortunately if the Esper fails a Charming check then the one they're probing will know exactly what they just did...

* AstralProjection: The Spirit Projection Gimmick lets characters astrally project themselves. Any character can take it as it's a cross class Gimmick, but it's an Esper gimmick by default. The Transcendent Tonic lets any character use this ability temporarily.



* CatGirl: And cat guys, naturally (although they're much rarer). One of the playable races, officially named the Nyanko.

to:

* BalefulPolymorph: The Transmorgrify Gimmick lets Witches transform both enemies and allies into harmless animals. This is treated as a OneHitKill ability against those with low enough HP, but it can also be used on those with more HP, as long as the Witch has their permission. Why would you want to transform your ally into a [[Film/MontyPythonAndTheHolyGrail newt?]] Who would expect that the newt was a spy?
* BarrierWarrior: The Esper can become this through the use of the Psionic Shell Gimmick, which lets them create shields that they can apply to one person. They also gain the ability to create much larger shields of potentially any size after becoming untethered.
* CatGirl: And cat guys, naturally (although they're much rarer). One of the playable races, officially named the Nyanko. They're something of a tribal race.
* CharlesAtlasSuperpower: The Delinquent class is MadeOfIron already. Upon taking the Body of a God Gimmick, though, their basically superhuman status is cemented. They can leap through buildings InASingleBound, are immune to falling damage, can climb up steep walls like a spider, and sprint like a semi truck.



* {{Cthulhumanoid}}: The Octopodes. They are regarded with hesitance and distrust, {[DarkIsNotEvil but not because they're actively malicious.]] They'd rather peddle strange alien wares and obsess over local customs.



* DrawAggro: The Gimmick Hey! You! lets the Delinquent challenge opponents to fight them, forcing their opponent to attack the Delinquent. However, the Delinquent must also attack their opponent.
* EnergyWeapon: The Mecha Pilot class gets access to a RayGun and a LaserBlade, and Energy Weapon is also a Shonin Gimmick that lets you make one. It can be cross-classed, as well.
* FantasyKitchenSink: The game assumes that the setting is one of these.
* FlyingBroom: The [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Flying Broom]] Gimmick lets witches fly on staff like objects such as shovels and brooms. They can also grant this ability to other characters using their potions.



* ImprovisedWeapon: The Delinquent can reroll attack checks made using improvised weapons after picking up the [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Improvised Weapon]] Gimmick, although the weapon will break afterwards.
* JapaneseDelinquents: Both types can be found in this game: Delinquent is a character class while Bozosoku gang members are listed as an enemy type in the bestiary. The Delinquent character class in particular is extremely tough, primarily because they're criminals in a world where the ghetto is filled with monsters.
* KamahameHadoken: The Chi Blast Gimmicks lets Shonin fire energy blasts by default, but they can also apply a variety of additional effects to them. Normally this would result in them burning an equal amount of points, and forces them to make an additional Powerful check at a higher difficulty depending on how many effects they add, They can, however, avoid this every once and a while by shouting the name of the attack out loud-so if you're playing with a Shonin with this Gimmick expect to hear stuff like this often.
* LittleBitBeastly: Besides the Nyanko, there are also the Usagi, who have bunny ears. They actually come from the heavily militarized culture of Usaag and are defined by their impatient attitude. While gun bunny is a real life word with it's own etymology, here gunslingers are called Gun Bunnies because of all the Usagi mercenaries and gunrunners.



* ManOnFire: While normally upon drinking a fire potion made by a Witch a character becomes WreathedInFlames, it has a potential side effect of simply setting that person on fire for a brief period.
* MindOverMatter: The Telekinesis Gimmick lets Espers lift objects, up to 500 lbs. They can go over this limit while Untethered as long as they pass a Powerful check.
* MindPrope: The Brain Drain Gimmick lets Espers do this. At first, they can only ask yes-or-no questions, but after becoming untethered they can ask any sort of question. Unfortunately if the Esper fails a Charming check then the one they're probing will know exactly what they just did...



* NatureHero: The Primal class.



* {{Oni}}: A playable race. They are pretty much exactly what you'd expect, being long-lived ogre-like humanoids that primarily dwell alone in places like caves and abandoned ruins.



* OurFairiesAreDifferent: Yousei are not actually fairies, but there's little difference between the two of them. They tend to gather around magical and divine hotspots.
* OurMermaidsAreDifferent: Ningyo. Since they are usually called Merfolk they are now listed as that within the book. Merfolk are regarded with wonder and awe in Neo Dokio and are a race that has taken to magic rather than science.



* {{Robot}} / {{Golem}}: All one race here, known as Golems in version 1.00, and renamed Automatons in version 1.01 since they are not necessarily actual golems.
* ScarilyCompetentTracker: The Hunter's Prey Gimmick lets the player ask a variety of in depth questions about someone that they're hunting.
* ShoutOut: *Many.*
** The Kerolians are one to Manga/SgtFrog as alien frog people.
** One of the Magical Girl's signature attacks is a reference to Manga/SailorMoon.
** A couple of Artifacts are also references, such as the [[Manga/TigerMask Tiger Mask]].



* SlimeGirl: [[RareMaleExample And guys]]. They're known as the Oozlings, and were created to serve mages. They don't start out as particularly intelligent, but they get there. Unfortunately they're regarded as something of a mistake by the general public.
* SpiderSense: The Precognition Gimmick gives Espers a sort of sixth sense that lets them divine the consequences of their actions and tell whether or not they're in danger.
* {{Tanuki}}: One of the game's races. They're 2 feet tall magical shapeshifters. It's said that they used to be gods, and they're good natured but mischievous and have a weakness for human vices.

** The Shonin is in it's element when it's doing something that it's trained for, as this lets them burn up to three Training Pool points in the place of a stat. A lot of mechanics are balanced around requiring you to burn a point, so this is really good. The downside is that, again, it requires you to doing something that you trained for, so if you trained in order to fight robots and you're up against zombies, then you're not fighting the right enemy and so you can't use it.
* UnderwaterCity: Ryugu.
* UnstoppableRage: The Primal Rage Gimmick. It's a Primal Gimmick but can be cross-classed. It powers up the character that uses it, but comes with a variety of drawbacks.



* WitchClassic: The Witch class, which draws on arcane power and magical potions.

to:

* WingedHumanoid: One of the races, called angels. They may or may not be [[OurAngelsAreDifferent literal angels from Heaven]]. (Or [[GratuitousJapanese tennin]] from [[GratuitousJapanese Tengoku]], as this is a Japanese setting. Yes, there are angels in Japanese folk religion.) [[OurFairiesAreDifferent Yousei]] also have wings.
* WitchClassic: The Witch class, which draws on arcane power and magical potions.potions.
* WreathedInFlames: If a Witch takes the Studied [Fire] Gimmick, they can brew fire potions, which grants this ability to anyone who drinks them.

''Gratuitous Anime Gimmick'' is an anime themed TabletopRPG developed by Matthew Morgan. It was made with the self-admitted goal of invoking as many anime cliches, tropes, and archetypes as humanly possible. It uses its own system, mostly based on class abilities (called "gimmicks") and d10s.

It's available [[http://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/210738/Gratuitous-Anime-Gimmick here]].

*BadAssCrew: One of the Delinquent's gimmicks is called ''The Boys,'' and provides a gang of loyal... well, delinquents.
*BadassDriver: Gun Bunnies are implied to be this, and the ''Defensive Driving'' gimmick makes it more explicit by letting the character turn cars into armor.
*CatGirl: And cat guys, naturally. One of the playable races, officially named the Nyanko.
*GunFu: The Gun Bunny class is built almost entirely around making trick shots and dodging bullets.
*HitPoints: Player characters only get three, with non-player characters and enemies usually getting more. Player characters make up for it with readily accessible healing, armor, or the ability to just flat out ignore damage.
*HumongousMecha: The Mecha Pilot class.
*MachineEmpathy: Espers can pick up ''Technopathy,'' which lets them speak with machines. This can be cross-classed, with the possible implication of cybernetic implants.
*MadeOfIron: The Delinquent class is built around this. Both of its base gimmicks allow it to ignore restraints, curses, poisons, illusions, and a whole mess of other impairments, including straight up damage. Not because the Delinquent is magical, but because the Delinquent is ''just that tough.''
*MagicalGirl: One of the playable classes. The normal girl form and Magical Girl form have different abilities, and a Magical Girl's identity is kept secret with magic... even if she doesn't do anything to hide it.
*{{Muggle}}: The Everyguy class has no magic, psychic power, mecha, or even the incredible physique of the Delinquent. He's literally just a guy. Instead of big, flashy powers, the class messes with the game's meta, altering turn orders or deciding who's getting attacked this round. The player has a great deal of power; the character has none.
*NoSell: The Delinquent's ''Blow for Blow'' gimmick lets it completely ignore a punch, and return with a counter attack.
*OrdinaryHighSchoolStudent: One of the suggested occupations of the Everyguy class.
*PsychicPowers: The Esper class revolves around telepathy, telekinesis, and every other psychic staple.
*UrbanFantasy: The game's default setting, Neo Dokio. Somewhere between corporate espionage, private militaries, and modern politics are witches, giant monsters, and alien invasions.
*WizardsAndWitches: The Witch class, which draws on arcane power and magical potions.
