History VisualNovel / ElevenEyes

* SplitPersonality: When Yukiko [[TheGlassesComeOff removes her glasses]], she goes from a genki girl to an emotionless, cold blooded KnifeNut.

* PantyShot: Yuka has the most, though the other girls aren't immune.

Five years ago, Kakeru Satsuki's older sister committed suicide. Since then, his right eye has become [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/SupernaturalGoldEyes a shade of gold]], and he wears an [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/EyepatchOfPower eyepatch]] to cover it. The only people he's friends with are his childhood friend Yuka and classmates Kaori and Tadashi. But inside, he has no interest in anything. While walking home with Yuka one day, the world suddenly changes. The [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/RedSkyTakeWarning sky becomes red]], the [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/WeirdMoon moon becomes black]] and [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/EldritchAbomination Eldritch Abominations]] called Larva roam the street. This is just the beginning of what is about to unfold.

An anime adaptation, covering ''Sin, damnation and the atonement girl'''s story, aired in the fall of 2009 and is [[http://theanimenetwork.com/Anime/11-Eyes/Watch now playing]] on the [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Creator/AnimeNetwork Anime Network]].

* [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/AbridgedSeries Abridged Series]]: by [[https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLGtifTp1kr8vt02rmBkKhR7mBcBO8yv2e PichuandFreud]]
* [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/AbusiveParent Abusive Parent]]: Takahisa and Ema have the best trope from 11eyes. [[spoiler: His father abused sexually Ema, his younger sister. Their mother seemed caring in Takahisa's After Story but it implied that she did nothing to protect them in the past, which is probably the reason why Takahisa is so cold toward her during their meeting.]]
** Somehow in Misuzu's case. She thought her father was indifferent to she and her mother and exiled them after [[spoiler: Misuzu amputated him during a duel.]] However, in Misuzu's After Story, it's revealed that her father cared for her and their relationship improved.
* [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ActionGir Action Girl]]: Yukiko, Kusakabe, Kukuri.
* [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/AdaptationalHeroism Adaptational Heroism]]: The horrible things that Index did in the original game were never mentioned in the anime.
* [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/AdaptationalVillainy Adaptational Villainy]]: The Black Knights were evil in the original visual novel, but that was explained that [[spoiler: they were insane because of the Larvaes in their bodies; after that Misao revived them again]]. They cared for each other, and while they hated the Fragments, they never tortured them [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ForTheEvulz For The Evulz]] like in the anime. [[spoiler: Meanwhile, Lieselotte in the game was more sympathetic because of her [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/DarkAndTroubledPast Dark And Troubled Past]] and her genuine care for Vlad. In the anime, the past was [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/AdaptedOut Adapted Out]] and she never cared for him.]]

* [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/AffablyEvil Affably Evil]]: [[spoiler: Kanae. She could offer you a cup of tea and try to kill you afterward.]]
* [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/AllJustADream All Just A Dream]]: [[spoiler: Episode 11 is what might have happened had Kakeru not been prepared. His vision comes to an end just after the credits, leading to him snapping back into action]].
* [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/AlmostKiss Almost Kiss]]: When Kakeru and Yuka think they're the only ones left the first time they enter the Red Night, this takes place. It's broken only by their sudden return to the real world. When Yuka tries it again, Takahisa arrives.
* [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/AmbiguouslyEvil Ambiguously Evil]]: In the anime, until it's revealed that [[spoiler: Liselotte is the true BigBad]], all of Black Knights can fit with this trope, due to their sadism toward Fragments, especially the ones who have a more important role like Ira or Superbia.

* [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/AntiMagic Anti-Magic]]: Yuka's late blooming ability. Problem is, it cancels out her friends' powers too. She decides to call it "Hands of Glory". Though she doesn't actually know what that means...
** May count as a [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/StealthPun Stealth Pun]], considering that a [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/HandOfGlory Hand of Glory]] was an obscure piece of magical folklore: A talisman made from the hand of a hanged man, used by burglars to keep the members of the household from waking up.
* [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ArcWords Arc Words]]: "Faad sehteio fresce en tora!" or "For my friends and for tomorrow!" The quote is first uttered in episode 5, but it becomes the band's motto for the rest of the series.
* [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ArtificialHuman Artificial Human]]: [[spoiler: Shiori. Although in truth she was born a human, but her family line is cursed with weak bodies and have no eyes, so to accomplish her missions she is given a artificial body.]]
** [[spoiler: Benedictus and Scholastica too, as they are from Shiori's same family line, even if Scholastica is a real hologram. Georgius is one too but to a lesser extent]].
* [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BathSuicide Bath Suicide]]: [[spoiler: Kukuri's death.]]
* [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BattleCouple Battle Couple]]: Misuzu and Kakeru (literally if her route is chosen) as well as Yukiko and Takahisa in the game.

** Samson and Misao can somehow works [[spoiler: as Samson is in love with her]] but isn't really a couple. Subverted with Benedictus and Scholastica who are more a [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/SiblingTeam Sibling Team]].
* [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BeethovenWasAnAlienSpy Beethoven Was an Alien Spy]]: Major revolutions in history, like the two World Wars, the French and Russian Revolutions, etc., were caused by Liselotte Werckmeister. Liselotte was even an acquaintance of Hitler.

* [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BerserkButton Berserk Button]]: Takahisa's gets pressed early on in episode 9.
** Kakeru seems to lose it when [[spoiler: Yukiko is killed in front of him.]]
* [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BewareTheNiceOnes Beware the Nices Ones]]: Kukuri, at the end of the game, you'll see some explanation for who is the most powerful of the cast.

* [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BigBad Big Bad]]: Avaratia, leader of the Dark Knights who are keeping Lisette, the girl in the crystal, [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/DamselInDistress trapped inside]]. He and his knights aim to kill the Fragments, i.e. the protagonists, in order to keep her imprisoned. [[spoiler:[[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/DiscOneFinalBoss Except]] it turns out that they were keeping Lieselotte, Lisette’s [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/SuperpoweredEvilSide Superpowered Evil Side]], trapped within the crystal, and the Larvas made them go insane.]]
* [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BigBrotherInstinct Big Brother Instinct]]: If her route isn't chosen, Yuka could be viewed as one. Not in the anime however, as Kakeru is in love with her.

*** In Before Story, there is Benedictus, one of apostles. He seems to be an {{Aloof Big Brother}} to his younger sister Scholastica. Even under his Acedia's form, he became enraged when [[spoiler: she is cut off by Misuzu in the game.]] Misao had also this role toward Scholastica even if she isn't related to her.
** Kukuri of course. She could smash you with a car if you touch Kakeru. In the game it's possible that [[spoiler: she was this way with her younger brother in her parallel world. She actually went berserk when she learned that he died and killed the scientists charged with his death]].
* [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BigDamnHeroes Big Damn Heroes]]: Almost all of the main characters invoke it at least once when saving their friends from the Dark Knights.
* [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BigEater Big Eater]]: Takahisa.
* [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BittersweetEnding Bittersweet Ending]]: by the end of the anime [[spoiler: Yukiko, Takahisa, Shiori and Saiko are dead. Even if they seem to be alive, those are not the same characters as the ones we're familiar with. But at least Liselotte is defeated.]]
* [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BleachedUnderpants Bleached Underpants]]: Applies to ''[=CrossOver=]'' and the anime (mostly).
* [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BodyHorror Body Horror]]: When Misuzu uses her strongest blade it harms her by sticking needles into her flesh.
* [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BreakTheCutie Break The Cutie]]: There are a lot of examples in 11eyes universe. So:
** Shiori when [[spoiler: Kukuri stabbed her after her battle against Avaritia]].
** [[spoiler: Lisette of course. The crusade made her mentally broken and her meeting with Michel Maximilian didn't make her better. That's one of the most harsh scenes into 11eyes.]]
** Scholastica [[spoiler: in the anime where Shiori killed her. In the game, there is her torture scene by tentacles.]]
** Irene [[spoiler: when she thought Sebastianus was alive, her body is ripped off.]]
** Yuka somehow or other in the game. [[spoiler: After Kakeru discovered that she created a false world, she was absorbed by Liselotte. Although he didn't love Yuka, this scene was very sad.]]
* [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BreakTheHaughty Break The Haughty]]: Kanae toward the ending of Crossover.

*** Also the scene [[spoiler: where Kakeru rejected her love as he loves Yuka.]]
* [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BrokenBird Broken Bird]]: Practically all of the main female characters. Some are worse than others, but they all have a tragic backstory.
* [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BromanticFoil Bromantic Foil]]: Tadashi. He never gets involved in the plot in any meaningful way, and is the [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ButtMonkey Butt Monkey]] of the story. In ''Story of Another side'', that changes a bit.
* [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BrotherSisterIncest Brother–Sister Incest]]: Kukuri of course. Subverted in the anime, but in the game she has her own route, which is also actually the True Ending of 11eyes. [[spoiler: However, since Kikuri is his sister from the alternative universe, this somehow makes them unrelated to blood in our world, although they remain biological brothers and sisters.]]
** In Before Story, there wasn't really any incest between Benedictus and Scholastica but it's invoked when [[spoiler: Liselotte forced Benedictus to rape Scholastica in an illusion]].
** [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ParentalIncest Parental Incest]]: Between [[spoiler: Saiko and Takahisa in the game. Saiko is said to use sex for satisfying both of them, although they aren't related.]].
* [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TheBrute The Brute]]: Gula, one of the Black Knights. He uses a massive club and attacks with strength alone. However, he is the first to fall.
* [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ButNotTooForeign But Not Too Foreign]]: Yukiko
* [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Canon Canon]]: A lot of fans found Misuzu a lot better match than Yuka, as she isn't a [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ClingyJealousGirl Clingy Jealous Girl]] and a crazy [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Yandere Yandere]]. In the game, there is Kakeru × Shiori which is viewed as canon.
* [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/CatSmile Cat Smile]]: Yukiko displays one occasionally, usually when groping the other girls.
* [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/CharacterDevelopment Character Development]]: Takahisa who was originally a Jerkass became more a [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/JerkWithAHeartOfGold Jerk with a Heart of Gold]] later and even became one of the most sympathetic characters from the anime.
** Lisette who was actually [[spoiler: the [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BigBad Big Bad]] ]] seems more sympathetic after everything she endured during the crusade and became even one of the most popular girl after her role in her If Story. Vlad seems nicer in If Story than in the original.

* [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ChildSoldiers Child Soldiers]]: Yukiko
* [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ClingyJealousGirl Clingy Jealous Girl]]: Yuka. [[spoiler: She actually imposes a [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TheFinalTemptation Final Temptation]] on Kakeru out of jealousy. Hands of Glory isn't her true power.]]
** By episode 9, she's well on her way to becoming a [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Yandere Yandere]].
* [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ClubPresident Club President]]: Yukiko creates the Modern Society Studies Club and ends up roping every one of the chosen ones into it.
* [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ContinuityNod ContinuityNod]]: Misuzu is descended from Ryuuichi Kusukabe, a character who first appeared in ''3days''. Yukiko makes a reference to Tsukiko, her older sister, who also appeared in ''3days''. Takahiro Kuroda, the master of Café Cyberiada was the protagonist of another previous Lass game, Festa!! -Hyper Girls Pop- and his wife is Nanako Chikami from 3days.
* [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ConvenientlyAnOrphan Conveniently an Orphan]]: Everyone, to a degree, though Misuzu's mother is still alive and Yuka is living with a nice adopted mother and father. Takahisa is a [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/SelfMadeOrphan Self-Made Orphan]]. Life was not kind to the six chosen ones.
* [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/CoolBigSis Cool Big Sis]]: Kukuri
* [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/CrouchingMoronHiddenBadAss Crouching Moron Hidden BadAss]]: Yukiko seems like a ditz most of the time, [[spoiler: until the glasses come off.]]
* [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/CrystalPrison Crystal Prison]]
* [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/CursedWithAwesome Cursed with Awesome]]: Kakeru and his eye's ability to see future events. It plays a big role in stopping the [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BigBad Big Bad]] in episode 12.
* [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/CuteMute Cute Mute]]: Kukuri.

* [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/DamselInDistress Damsel in Distress]]: Yuka. There is also Shione in Crossover.
** Subverted with [[spoiler: Lisette, who turns out to be [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/SealedEvilInACan Sealed Evil in a Can]] ]].
* [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/DarkActionGirl Dark Action Girl]]: Pretty much all the female Dark Knights.
* [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/DarkChick Dark Chick]]: Superbia, Invidia.
* [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/DarkIsNotEvil Dark is Not Evil]]: [[spoiler: The Black Knights]].
* [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/DarkWorld Dark World]]: The Red Night.
* [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/DeathByOriginStory Death by Origin Story]]: Kukuri. [[spoiler: Turns out she's still alive]]
* [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/DeclarationOfProtection Declaration of Protection]]: Kakeru's motivation for learning how to fight and protect Yuka.

* [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/DemotedToExtra Demoted to Extra]]: Shiori, Tadashi and Kaori. They all had a bigger role in the original game, even though Shiori's role becomes a bit more important toward the ending. Kukuri too, while she had a key role in the game.
* [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/DeusSexMachina Deus Sex Machina]]: [[spoiler: The seal on Shiori's body can be removed by these means]]. Misuzu also explains that it's a way to transfer power among the Kusakabe, and Kakeru does have some Kusakabe blood in him.
* [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/DiegeticSoundtrackUsage Diegetic Soundtrack Usage]]: Kakeru's ringtone is a midi version of the OP. Yuka's cell has the ED.
* [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/DiesWideOpen Dies Wide Open]]: Yukiko in the anime.
* [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/DissonantSerenity Dissonant Serenity]]: In the anime, Yuka becomes increasingly calm as the tension rises.
* [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Doppelganger Doppelganger]]: Kukuri Tachibana looks exactly like (and has the same name as) Kakeru's sister Kukuri. In the Xbox 360 version, a real doppelganger is a sub-boss.
* [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/DoubleStandardAbuseFemaleOnMale Double Standard Abuse Female On Male]]: Kaori on Tadashi.
* [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/DownerEnding Downer Ending]]: [[spoiler: Episode 11 in the anime, also a case of [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TheBadGuyWins The Bad Guy Wins]]. Averted if you continue onto episode 12]].
* [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/DrivenToSuicide Driven to Suicide]]: Kakeru's sister in the very beginning. [[spoiler: Turns out there are parallel worlds, and in at least two of them, Kakeru's sister, Kukuri, knew about Liselotte's plan, which needed Kakeru's golden eye to succeed. So in one world, she had the spirit of Abraxas, which had a chain whip attack, which she used to kill him, then herself. But that world didn't have the golden eye, and instead the Kakeru in Yuka's universe/world had it, while Abraxas didn't exist in that version of Kukuri. So instead of killing both of them, Kukuri in Yuka's world only killed herself since she lacked the chain-whip attack of Abraxas. Yeah, it's kind of confusing.]]
* [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/EarlyBirdCameo Early-Bird Cameo]]: Early on in the anime, you can see at least one instance of a pillar of flame lighting up in the background while Kakeru/Yuka are in the Red Night area. Takahisa can also be seen in the school and in the Red Night area, but we're not introduced to him properly until about episode 4.
* [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/EarnYourHappyEnding Earn Your Happy Ending]]: [[spoiler: Episode 12 can be viewed as this. Episode 11 can be considered "the bad ending", and is probably what Kakeru saw at the beginning of episode 12 had he done what he did in episode 11, where everyone ends up dying]].
* [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/EldritchLocation EldritchLocation]]
* [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/EnemyMine Enemy Mine]]: [[spoiler: After learning the truth about Liselotte, the girl trapped in the crystal, the main characters help the surviving Dark Knights to fight Liselotte. They fail in episode 11, but succeed in 12]].
* [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/EpicFlail Epic Fail]]: Kukuri's guardian angel, Abraxas, wields some wicked maces. Abraxas is also a case of [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ChainedByFashion Chained By Fashion]].
* [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/EvenEvilHasLovedOnes Even Evil Has Loved Ones]]: Liselotte is very lovey-dovey toward Vlad. [[spoiler: Subverted finally in the anime, where she refuses to listen to him]].
** Nearly all the Black Knights [[spoiler: even though they actually aren't evil]] have a lot of examples of this in the game.

** In the game, Invidia can be really cruel but she is actually in love with Ira. [[spoiler: And she breaks down when he's killed, Subverted in the anime, where she doesn't give a damn about his death]].
** It's also hinted enough that Acedia cares about his younger sister a lot [[spoiler: and he is furious when she is killed]].

* [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/EvenEvilHasStandards Even Evil Has Standards]]: Kanae in Crossover. Although she is actually [[spoiler: the Mastermind behind Crossover's events, she doesn't want Liselotte to destroy the world. However, her goal is to suppress every form of magic in the world so that Thule could dominate the world. So her goal isn't really more enjoyable than Liselotte's]].
* [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/EvilTowerOfOminousness Evil Tower of Ominousness]]: Landmark Tower in the real world is replaced by six pillars where the Black Knights reside.
* [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Expy Expy]] - Lieselotte strikingly resembles Suigintou from [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Manga/Rozen Maiden ''RozenMaiden'']]. Kakeru Satsuki bears more than a passing semblance to Minato Arisato from [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/VideoGame/Persona3 ''Persona3'']]. And someone capitalized on the fact that Misuzu resembles Mitsuru, and came up with [[http://danbooru.donmai.us/post/show/483699 this.]] ('''Warning Danbooru link''')
* [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/EyepatchOfPower Eyepatch of Power]]: To cover Kakeru's heterochromia
* [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ FateWorseThanDeath Fate Worse Than Death]]: Lisette's fate is the best example of 11eyes. And even the death is impossible for her.
* [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ FanserviceWithASmile Fanservice With a Smile]]: There's the entire ongoing subplot to get everyone who's not Yukiko into the outfits of Cyberiada, the cafe where Kakeru and Yukiko work. It ends up succeeding.
* [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/FirstNameBasis First Name Basis]]: Yuka worries about this between Kakeru and Misuzu in the anime, noting a change in dynamics between them.
* [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ GenkiGirl Genki Girl]]: Yukiko Hirohara. Kaori is the one from Crossover.
* [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ GoodIsNotNice Good is Not Nice]]: Yuka at the end of the anime. It's however kinda subverted in the game. Can be applied to Takahisa at the beginning.

** Can be applied to [[spoiler: the Black Knights. They want to save the world but their actions toward Fragments aren't really viewed as good.]]
* [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ GoryDiscretionShot Gory Discretion Shot]]: Played straight for many of the characters that get killed. [[spoiler: Strangely averted for Yukiko, we get to see Superbia rip the fragment out of her, and get to hear her scream and die. Probably why Kakeru loses it and charges Superbia before Yuka "intervenes"]].
* [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/GottaKillThemAll Gotta Kill Them All]]: The Black Knights appear to have this goal for the heroes. [[spoiler: The reason is because each of them (except for Kakeru) holds [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/SoulJar a fragment of Liselotte's soul]] or to be exact, a smaller fragment of Liselotte's fragment of the Emerald Tablet]].
* [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/GratuitousForeignLanguage Gratuitous Hungarian]]: In the anime version; the most noticeable location being the episode titles, which get worse every episode. The opening narration though is really good, thanks to being voiced by a Hungarian, András Faragó. Which begs the question why no one asked for his opinion on the translations.
** There's also a bit of [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/GratuitousItalian Gratuitous Italian]] in episode four when Tadashi is trying to get close to Shiori and failing horribly.
* [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/GreyAndGrayMorality Grey and Gray Morality]]: In the visual novel, it's shown that no character is truly good or evil. Actually, It looked like a [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BlackAndWhiteMorality Black and White Morality]] first but the Black Knights weren't all bad actually, and some of them had a particular goal to act like this toward Fragments and still kept some human qualities. Furthermore, even Liselotte isn't all bad either.
* [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/HealingFactor Healing Factor]]: Yukiko shrugs off some pretty serious damage during the course of events. [[spoiler: That she was a child soldier who had this ability exploited really reveals what she's gone through.]]
* [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/HealingHands Healing Hands]]: Another of Kukuri's powers. She even equates it to an RPG.
* [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/HeelFaceTurn Heel-Face Turn]]: [[spoiler: Velad in episode 12, after seeing Kakeru talk about how there can be hope for a better future, and ends up helping to banish Liselotte]].
* [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/HeroicBSOD Heroic BSOD]]: [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/NotSoStoic Misuzu]], after [[spoiler: she learns the truth about the Fragments]].
* [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/HeroicSacrifice Heroic Sacrifice]]: [[spoiler: Avaritia holds Liselotte from behind in episode 12 to ensure that she gets banished to an alternate dimension where she hopefully can't escape. Unfortunately he gets sucked in as well]].
** Subverted with Sebastianus in Before Story. It's a [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/StupidSacrifice Stupid Sacrifice]] but heroic anyway.
* [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/HotForStudent Hot For Student]]: Saiko-sensei, the school nurse, who smokes, drinks and is frequently sniffing around for virgins. Kakeru wonders how she became the nurse in the first place.
* [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ HumansAreBastards Humans Are Bastards]]: Liselotte's motivation for wanting to [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/KillEmAll Kill Em All]].
* [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ICannotSelfTerminate I Cannot Self-Terminate]]: [[spoiler: When Takahisa starts to lose control of himself, he asks Yukiko to kill him]].
** Lisette [[spoiler: before the final battle, begs for Kakeru to kill her]].
* [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice Impaled with ExtremePrejudice]]: Yukiko does this a couple of times, has it happen to her as well, and later [[spoiler: a possessed Yuka does it to Kakeru in episode 11]].
* [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/InstantRunes Instant Runes]]: Acedia, Yuka, Misuzu, and [[spoiler: Shiori]].
* [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/IKnowYouAreInThereSomewhereFight I Know You Are in There Somewhere Fight]]: Kakeru to Liselotte in her final CrossVision view. "Lisette Weltall!" "No, I'm Liselotte Werckmeister--" "Lisette Weltall! Listen to me!"
* [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy I Want My Beloved to Be Happy]]: In episode 11, after learning Yuka may still be alive, Kakeru vows to find her. Then Misuzu mentions this trope in her mind.

* [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Jerkass Jerkass]]: In the anime, there is Yuka who is surely a real [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BitchInSheepsClothing Bitch in Sheeps Clothing]] toward the end. [[spoiler: She was nice at the beginning, but finally when the madness leads her towards [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Yandere Yandere]], she didn't care for Yukiko or Takahisa when they are killed and tried to kill Misuzu herself. She even freed Liselotte herself to have Kakeru for herself. And she still ends up with Kakeru though]]. Subverted in the game.
** In the anime, there is Takahisa but is actually a [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/JerkWithAHeartOfGold Jerk with a Heart of Gold]].

* [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/JerkWithAHeartOfGold Jerk with a Heart of Gold]]: Takahisa acts cold towards most people, but he does save them occasionally in the other world.

** Georgius although [[spoiler: he unwillingly sacrificed his comrades in the battle. He is really a good person and accepts every people even if they haven't the same belief]].
** Benedictus is a [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Jerkass Jerkass]] but he really loves his father and although he isn't always kind toward Scholastica, he cares for her and tries to protect her during serious moments.
** Sophia isn't a [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/JerkWithAHeartOfGold Jerk with a Heart of Gold]] but has more a [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/HiddenHeartOfGold Hidden Heart of Gold]] as she tries to persuade Shiori she isn't a kind person.
* [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/JerkWithAHeartOfJerk Jerk with a Heart of Jerk]]: Johanna. [[spoiler: She only saved Shiori in her trial because she was just viewed as interesting. To Johanna, it's really a miracle.]]
* [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/KarmaHoudini Karma Houdini]]: Incoming apocalypse be damned, how can someone get away with brutally murdering three of the most sympathetic characters, one of whom was completely innocent. Well, [[spoiler: Misao]] managed to pull it off somehow.
** Despite becoming overly clingy, putting a razor blade in another of the cast's tea and willingly unleashing the [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BigBad Big Bad]], [[spoiler: Yuka]] somehow gets out of punishment without one single character calling [[spoiler: her]] out.
** [[spoiler: Michel Maximilian. He is the one who transformed Lisette into Liselotte and yet, Nobody knows what's happened to him and he doesn't seem to have paid the price for his actions]].
* [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/KillEmAll Kill Em All]]: The bad ending. It rivals [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion End of Evangelion]] but is revealed to only be a possible scenario.
* [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/LightIsNotGood Ligh is Not Good]]: [[spoiler: The girl in white trapped in the crystal seems like an innocent person, but in actuality she's Liselotte, a pretty evil person bent on destroying all of mankind due to losing her lover. Doesn't help that the Dark Knights look evil and continually attack the main characters without bothering to tell them why]].
** Can be applied to [[spoiler: Johanna. She is supposed to be the Pope of Index but she is far from being a saint as she actually willingly sent the Punishement Squad to their deaths in the battle against Liselotte. Her real role is watching the events and Sophia herself even calls her a sadist]].

* [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ LoveMakesYouEvil Love Makes You Evil]]: Liselotte. Although she was already evil before, her meet with Vlad and his death makes her a lot crazier.
** Yuka in the anime somehow. She isn't actually evil, but she became crazy [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ Yandere Yandere]] when she thought Kakeru and Misuzu were lovers.
** [[spoiler: Superbia, although she isn't really evil. However, unlike her lover Avaritia, she could kill you in a gory manner without any regrets]].
* [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/LoveTriangle Love Triangle]]: More than just a triangle in 11eyes game. In the anime, it's however limited to Kakeru, Yuka and Misuzu.

* [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/MultipleEndings Multiple Endings]]: [[spoiler: Interestingly, episode 11 is a "What if" bad ending, and is pretty damn depressing. Episode 12 can be viewed as an "alternate/happy" ending, or maybe at the start of episode 12, Kakeru used his foresight ability to see what would happen in episode 11 if he took the action he did in trying to save Yuka]].
* [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/MySisterIsOffLimits My Sister is Off Limits!]]: In Yukiko's after story, Ema's thanking Kakeru for all the help in getting the school festival ready. Takahisa becomes furious.

* [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/NiceJobBreakingItHero Nice Job Breaking It, Hero!]]: [[spoiler: After all but two of the Black Knights are defeated, it turns out they were the ones who were trying to stop the world from ending, not cause it]].
* [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/NiceJobFixingItVillain Nice Job Fixing It, Villain!]]: [[spoiler: After the Dark Knights take the fragment out of Yukiko, Yuka suddenly shows up and throws it into the crystal seal holding the witch. So from the POV of the Dark Knights, the "bad guys" just released the [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BigBad Big Bad]], while from Yuka's POV, she was helping to release an innocent person, and also, "protecting" Kakeru since the Dark Knights were attacking him]].
* [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/NotWhatItLooksLike Not What It Looks Like]]: In episode six of the anime, Yuka walks in on Kakeru and Misuzu in what looks to be a compromising position.

Until it's revealed that these are, in fact, the names of the Black Knights. [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ThemeNaming Theme Naming]] runs among them. Ominous Chanting is present in ''[=CrossOver=]'''s OP ("Endless Tears...") and the anime's OP ("Arrival of Tears") as well.
* [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/OneManArmy One-Man Army]]: Vlad. Though he has some help for the second one.

* [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Pet The Dog Pet the Dog]]: A lot of characters have a [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/PetTheDog Pet the Dog]] moment:

** Nearly all Black Knights have a [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Pet The Dog Pet the Dog]] moment. Superbia in the anime is cruel as hell toward the Fragments but she really loves Avaritia. In Before Story, she also has a [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Pet The Dog Pet the Dog]] with Scholastica when she taught origami to her.

** In Before Story, Benedictus is shown as unsympathetic by his [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Jerkass Jerkass]] nature at times. However, he really cares for his younger sister and tried to save her somehow in the battle. He also has one with his father at the beginning.
** Johanna has a [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Pet The Dog Pet the Dog]] moment toward Shiori After Story's end as she decided to [[spoiler: help Shiori in her trial. However it's kinda subverted as she only did it because she found her as a very interesting individual. She is still a monster though]].
** Kanae has many examples [[spoiler: although she still the [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BigBad Big Bad]] from Crossover]]. At times, she answers to students's questions when she is in the library, as she did for Shuu when he searched for Doppelganger. She also has a [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Pet The Dog Pet the Dog]] moment with a cat during a meeting with Shuu.

* [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/RapeAsDrama Rape as Drama]]: In every case where this is shown, it leads to drama for the character. Lisette can say this very well [[spoiler: after having been captured by crusaders who destroyed her village, she is raped by them many times and nearly killed. That event leads her to her hatred for the world as well as her transformation in Liselotte.]]
** Ema, Takahisa's sister [[spoiler: is said to have been raped by her abusive father. It lead to Takahisa to burning him alive then living in street where he fortunately met Saiko who took him under her wing]].
** In Before Story [[spoiler: Benedictus is forced to see tentacles growing from his own body which raped his sister Scholastica before tearing her apart. It made Benedictus mad and apparently lead to his own death.]]
* [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/RedemptionEqualsDeath Redemption Equals Death]]: Vlad could be viewed as one. [[spoiler: He spent all the time to wish the destruction of the world and is charged of Liselotte's actions. Even if he was already died, he helped Kakeru through Eye of Aeon to fight her before the Eye is absorbed by Demiourgos. In If Story, he came back to the past to protect Lisette from her fate too and died afterward]].
* [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/RedOni,BlueOni Red Oni, Blue Oni]]: Takahisa is the former while Ema is the latter.

* [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/RedSkyTakeWarning Red Sky Take Warning]]
* [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Ruritania Ruritania]]: The nation of Drasuvania, which figures into the backstories of Vlad and Yukiko.
* [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/SayMyName Say My Name]]: Yuka says Kakeru's name. '''A LOT'''.

* [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ScarsAreForever Scars Are Forever]]: Invidia
* [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/SchoolFestival School Festival]]: Putting on one is a major subplot in Yukiko and Takahisa's after stories in ''Resona Forma''.
* [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/SchoolNurse School Nurse]]: Saiko-sensei. Though with her smoking and chasing after students, she's not very good at the job.
* [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ScrewDestiny Screw Destiny]]
* [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/SenseiChan Sensei-chan]]: Saiko-sensei.
* [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ SevenDeadlySins Seven Deadly Sins]]: A very prominent motif in the story.
* [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ ShipperOnDeck Shipper on Deck]]: Saiko, the nurse, seems a bit too interested in trying to hook up Kakeru and Yuka. She gets mad at Takihasa when he didn't come home, until she thinks he spent the night with Yukiko, then seems okay with it, much to his dismay.
* [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ShoutOut Shout-Out]]: There is a room full of shout outs in the visual novel. Here's the image [[http://danbooru.donmai.us/post/show/253313]].
* [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ShutUpHannibal Shut Up, Hannibal]]
* [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/SiblingYinYang Sibling Yin-Yang]]: Takahisa and Ema. And Benedictus and Scholastica (Acedia siblings) in Before Story.

* [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/StopOrIShootMyself Stop, or I Shoot Myself]]: In episode 12, Kakeru, having forseen the future had he done what he intended in episode 11, instead threatened to commit suicide, and thereby killed the lover Liselotte was trying to meet up with again.
* [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/SugarAndIcePersonality Sugar-and-Ice Personality]]: Misuzu. Can be applied to Vlad in If Story.
* [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/SupernaturalGoldEyes Supernatural Gold Eyes]]: Known specifically as the Eye of Aeon, it allows Kakeru to see the future. The real value of the eye is that it allows the user to assimilate previous users' experience, memories and above all, to see different possibilities of the future and realize the one that the user desires.
* [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TakeAThirdOption Take a Third Option]]: Instead of trying to do the episode 11 Bad End plot, Kakeru pretty much stabs himself in episode 12. It ends up working and he recovers later.
* [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TakingYouWithMe Taking You with Me]]: Invidia plans to kill everyone in Kakeru's gang by exploding herself, but she fails due to [[spoiler: Yuka's power awakening]].
* [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TalkingInYourDreams Talking in Your Dreams]]: Vlad, a knight with the same kind of heterochromia as Kakeru, appears in his dreams every time that the Red Night occurs.
* [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TalkingWithSigns Talking with Signs]]: Kukuri Tachibana. Scholastica did it too in Before Story.
* [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TeamDad Team Dad]]: Samson in Before Story. Georgius could be one too but to a lesser degree.
* [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TearsOfBlood Tears of Blood]]: Kakeru, usually when weird supernatural stuff starts happening.
* [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TrueCompanions True Companions]]: "For our friends and tomorrow!"
* [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Tsundere Tsundere]]: Mio from Crossover. Misuzu could also be viewed as one, but she is more of a [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/SugarAndIcePersonality kuudere]]. Kaori is one toward Tadashi.
* [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/UnluckyChildhoodFriend Unlucky Childhood Friend]]: Yuka and Kakeru, Tadashi and Kaori.
* [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/UnstoppableRage Unstoppable Rage]]: [[spoiler: Takahisa after Saiko is killed. He asks for a [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/MercyKill Mercy Kill]] from Yukiko while he's still himself]].
* [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/VillainousFriendship Villainous Friendship]]: Between the Black Knights [[spoiler: although they aren't the bad guys]] Avaritia and Superbia are the Type I in the anime,as Avaritia protected Superbia from Shiori's attack. However it's kinda subverted [[spoiler: as Avaritia is really [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TheDragon The Dragon]] and Liselotte is really the [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BigBad Big Bad]] ]].
** In Crossover, Kanae and Liselotte who were Thule Members are type III. Kanae really admires Liselotte [[spoiler: although she doesn't want her to destroy the world]] but Liselotte didn't care for her and was just interested in the destruction.
** However, between Liselotte and Fu Manchu are more or less the type IV. Liselotte as for Kanae saw just Fu Manchu as a pawn for her destruction of the world and Fu Manchu in return mocked openly Liselotte and even [[spoiler: revealed her intentions to Georgius]].
** Between Liselotte and Walter, the main antagonist of 3days, a prequel of 11eyes, have a relationship which could be more of Type IV but Liselotte [[spoiler: after having discovered that Walter was the only one who infiltrated the Index Underground Library]] gained some respect to him and their relationship could be viewed as type II as Walter thinks Liselotte as weak and would like to be Thule's leader instead of her.
* [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ViolentlyProtectiveGirlfriend Violently Protective Girlfriend]]: Misuzu can be viewed as one to Kakeru although she isn't really his girlfriend. Yuka is one somehow.
* [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/WeirdMoon Weird Moon]]: The moon is black, [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/GiganticMoon three times larger than normal]], and once Kakeru and Yuka leave the strange otherworld, still visible.
* [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/WhamEpisode Wham Episode]]: Episode 9. Things are not the same any more for the main characters after that.
* [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/WhatTheHellHero What The Hell, Hero!]]: Interesting trope for this series. [[spoiler: Turns out that the main characters are actually "the bad guys", and the Dark Knights are the "good" ones, trying to keep the evil witch from achieving her goal to collect the fragments within the main characters and destroy humanity. However, a lot of it probably could have been avoided, had the Dark Knights not attacked them and continually told them "we need to kill you", which justified the main characters in defending themselves and killing the Dark Knights, so this trope applies to both sides if you think about it]].
* [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/WhenAllYouHaveIsAHammer When All You Have is a Hammer]]: Takahisa's method of fighting is with fire, since that's all he has in the Red Night area.
* [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/WhipSword Whip Sword]]: Invidia. It resembles a human spine.
* [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/WhoWantsToLiveForever Who Wants to Live Forever?]]: [[spoiler: Lisette/Liselotte, because of [[CycleOfRevenge what she went through in the Crusades]], became immortal, [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/LoveMakesYouEvil fell in love with Vlad]], went crazy when he died and then [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt decided to wipe out all of humanity]] ]].
* [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/WhiteGloves White Gloves]]: Misuzu, when she's not using her powers.
* [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds Woobie Destroyer of Worlds]]: Liselotte, or rather, Lisette. After what she's gone through in the Crusade...
* [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Yandere Yandere]]: Yuka. Specifically, episode 10 of the anime, [[spoiler: with her handing that cup of tea to Misuzu with the razor blade at the bottom of it, and how she corrects Kakeru gently about using Misuzu's ''last'' name]].
** In the game, Yuka even [[spoiler: tried to make a world where Kakeru knows just herself]]. However, in this case, she is more a dorodere case as [[spoiler: she especially hated herself for her orphanage's event. Her personality was a bit different from the anime]].

Five years ago, Kakeru Satsuki's older sister committed suicide. Since then, his right eye has become [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/SupernaturalGoldEyes a shade of gold]], and he wears an [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/EyepatchOfPower eyepatch]] to cover it. The only people he's friends with are his childhood friend Yuka and classmates Kaori and Tadashi. But inside, he has no interest in anything. While walking home with Yuka one day, the world suddenly changes. The [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main RedSkyTakeWarning sky becomes red]], the [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main WeirdMoon moon becomes black]] and [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main Eldritch Abominations]] called Larva roam the street. This is just the beginning of what is about to unfold.

An anime adaptation, covering ''Sin, damnation and the atonement girl'''s story, aired in the fall of 2009 and is [[http://theanimenetwork.com/Anime/11-Eyes/Watch now playing]] on the Creator/AnimeNetwork.

* AbridgedSeries: by [[https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLGtifTp1kr8vt02rmBkKhR7mBcBO8yv2e PichuandFreud]]
* AbusiveParent: Takahisa and Ema have the best trope from 11eyes. [[spoiler:His father abused sexually Ema, his younger sister. Their mother seemed caring in Takahisa's After Story but it implied that she did nothing to protect them in the past, which is probably the reason why Takahisa is so cold toward her during their meeting.]]
** Somehow in Misuzu's case. She thought her father was indifferent to she and her mother and exiled them after [[spoiler:Misuzu amputated him during a duel.]] However, in Misuzu's After Story, it's revealed that her father cared for her and their relationship improved.
* ActionGirl: Yukiko, Kusakabe, Kukuri.
* AdaptationalHeroism: The horrible things that Index did in the original game were never mentioned in the anime.
* AdaptationalVillainy: The Black Knights were evil in the original visual novel, but that was explained that [[spoiler:they were insane because of the Larvaes in their bodies; after that Misao revived them again]]. They cared for each other, and while they hated the Fragments, they never tortured them ForTheEvulz like in the anime. [[spoiler:Meanwhile, Lieselotte in the game was more sympathetic because of her DarkAndTroubledPast and her genuine care for Vlad. In the anime, the past was AdaptedOut and she never cared for him.]]

* AffablyEvil: [[spoiler:Kanae. She could offer you a cup of tea and try to kill you afterward.]]
* AllJustADream: [[spoiler:Episode 11 is what might have happened had Kakeru not been prepared. His vision comes to an end just after the credits, leading to him snapping back into action]].
* AlmostKiss: When Kakeru and Yuka think they're the only ones left the first time they enter the Red Night, this takes place. It's broken only by their sudden return to the real world. When Yuka tries it again, Takahisa arrives.
* AmbiguouslyEvil: In the anime, until it's revealed that [[spoiler:Liselotte is the true BigBad]], all of Black Knights can fit with this trope, due to their sadism toward Fragments, especially the ones who have a more important role like Ira or Superbia.

* AntiMagic: Yuka's late blooming ability. Problem is, it cancels out her friends' powers too. She decides to call it "Hands of Glory". Though she doesn't actually know what that means...
** May count as a StealthPun, considering that a "HandOfGlory" was an obscure piece of magical folklore: A talisman made from the hand of a hanged man, used by burglars to keep the members of the household from waking up.
* ArcWords: "Faad sehteio fresce en tora!" or "For my friends and for tomorrow!" The quote is first uttered in episode 5, but it becomes the band's motto for the rest of the series.
* ArtificialHuman: [[spoiler:Shiori. Although in truth she was born a human, but her family line is cursed with weak bodies and have no eyes, so to accomplish her missions she is given a artificial body.]]
** [[spoiler:Benedictus and Scholastica too, as they are from Shiori's same family line, even if Scholastica is a real hologram. Georgius is one too but to a lesser extent]].
* BathSuicide: [[spoiler:Kukuri's death.]]
* BattleCouple: Misuzu and Kakeru (literally if her route is chosen) as well as Yukiko and Takahisa in the game.

** Samson and Misao can somehow works [[spoiler:as Samson is in love with her]] but isn't really a couple. Subverted with Benedictus and Scholastica who are more a SiblingTeam.
* BeethovenWasAnAlienSpy: Major revolutions in history, like the two World Wars, the French and Russian Revolutions, etc., were caused by Liselotte Werckmeister. Liselotte was even an acquaintance of Hitler.

* BerserkButton: Takahisa's gets pressed early on in episode 9.
** Kakeru seems to lose it when [[spoiler:Yukiko is killed in front of him.]]
* BewareTheNiceOnes: Kukuri, at the end of the game, you'll see some explanation for who is the most powerful of the cast.

* BigBad: Avaratia, leader of the Dark Knights who are keeping Lisette, the girl in the crystal, [[DamselInDistress trapped inside]]. He and his knights aim to kill the Fragments, i.e. the protagonists, in order to keep her imprisoned. [[spoiler:[[DiscOneFinalBoss Except]] it turns out that they were keeping Lieselotte, Lisette’s SuperpoweredEvilSide, trapped within the crystal, and the Larvas made them go insane.]]
* BigBrotherInstinct: If her route isn't chosen, Yuka could be viewed as one. Not in the anime however, as Kakeru is in love with her.

*** In Takahisa After Story, Takahisa towards Ema. [[spoiler: It's revealed the reason why he ran away from his family was because he burnt alive his father who abused Ema sexually. He also ran away from her for her safety.]] When they reunited, he acted as an overprotective brother towards her again and had been furious when he thought Kakeru was interested in Ema.
*** In Before Story, there is Benedictus, one of apostles. He seems to be an {{Aloof Big Brother}} to his younger sister Scholastica. Even under his Acedia's form, he became enraged when [[spoiler:she is cut off by Misuzu in the game.]] Misao had also this role toward Scholastica even if she isn't related to her.
** Kukuri of course. She could smash you with a car if you touch Kakeru. In the game it's possible that [[spoiler:she was this way with her younger brother in her parallel world. She actually went berserk when she learned that he died and killed the scientists charged with his death]].
* BigDamnHeroes: Almost all of the main characters invoke it at least once when saving their friends from the Dark Knights.
* BigEater: Takahisa.
* BittersweetEnding: by the end of the anime [[spoiler:Yukiko, Takahisa, Shiori and Saiko are dead. Even if they seem to be alive, those are not the same characters as the ones we're familiar with. But at least Liselotte is defeated.]]
* BleachedUnderpants: Applies to ''[=CrossOver=]'' and the anime (mostly).
* BodyHorror: When Misuzu uses her strongest blade it harms her by sticking needles into her flesh.
* BreakTheCutie: There are a lot of examples in 11eyes universe. So:
** Shiori when [[spoiler:Kukuri stabbed her after her battle against Avaritia]].
** [[spoiler:Lisette of course. The crusade made her mentally broken and her meeting with Michel Maximilian didn't make her better. That's one of the most harsh scenes into 11eyes.]]
** Scholastica [[spoiler:in the anime where Shiori killed her. In the game, there is her torture scene by tentacles.]]
** Irene [[spoiler:when she thought Sebastianus was alive, her body is ripped off.]]
** Yuka somehow or other in the game. [[spoiler:After Kakeru discovered that she created a false world, she was absorbed by Liselotte. Although he didn't love Yuka, this scene was very sad.]]
* BreakTheHaughty: Kanae toward the ending of Crossover.

*** Also the scene [[spoiler:where Kakeru rejected her love as he loves Yuka.]]
* BrokenBird: Practically all of the main female characters. Some are worse than others, but they all have a tragic backstory.
* BromanticFoil: Tadashi. He never gets involved in the plot in any meaningful way, and is the ButtMonkey of the story. In ''Story of Another side'', that changes a bit.
* BrotherSisterIncest: Kukuri of course. Subverted in the anime, but in the game she has her own route, which is also actually the True Ending of 11eyes. [[spoiler: However, since Kikuri is his sister from the alternative universe, this somehow makes them unrelated to blood in our world, although they remain biological brothers and sisters.]]
** In Before Story, there wasn't really any incest between Benedictus and Scholastica but it's invoked when [[spoiler:Liselotte forced Benedictus to rape Scholastica in an illusion]].
** ParentalIncest: Between [[spoiler:Saiko and Takahisa in the game. Saiko is said to use sex for satisfying both of them, although they aren't related.]].
* TheBrute: Gula, one of the Black Knights. He uses a massive club and attacks with strength alone. However, he is the first to fall.
* ButNotTooForeign: Yukiko
* {{Canon}}: A lot of fans found Misuzu a lot better match than Yuka, as she isn't a ClingyJealousGirl and a crazy {{Yandere}}. In the game, there is Kakeru × Shiori which is viewed as canon.
* CatSmile: Yukiko displays one occasionally, usually when groping the other girls.
* CharacterDevelopment: Takahisa who was originally a Jerkass became more a JerkWithAHeartOfGold later and even became one of the most sympathetic characters from the anime.
** Lisette who was actually [[spoiler:The BigBad]] seems more sympathetic after everything she endured during the crusade and became even one of the most popular girl after her role in her If Story. Vlad seems nicer in If Story than in the original.

* ChildSoldiers: Yukiko
* ClingyJealousGirl: Yuka. [[spoiler:She actually imposes a [[TheFinalTemptation Final Temptation]] on Kakeru out of jealousy. Hands of Glory isn't her true power.]]
** By episode 9, she's well on her way to becoming a {{yandere}}.
* ClubPresident: Yukiko creates the Modern Society Studies Club and ends up roping every one of the chosen ones into it.
* ContinuityNod: Misuzu is descended from Ryuuichi Kusukabe, a character who first appeared in ''3days''. Yukiko makes a reference to Tsukiko, her older sister, who also appeared in ''3days''. Takahiro Kuroda, the master of Café Cyberiada was the protagonist of another previous Lass game, Festa!! -Hyper Girls Pop- and his wife is Nanako Chikami from 3days.
* ConvenientlyAnOrphan: Everyone, to a degree, though Misuzu's mother is still alive and Yuka is living with a nice adopted mother and father. Takahisa is a SelfMadeOrphan. Life was not kind to the six chosen ones.
* CoolBigSis: Kukuri
* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadAss: Yukiko seems like a ditz most of the time, [[spoiler:until the glasses come off.]]
* CrystalPrison
* CursedWithAwesome: Kakeru and his eye's ability to see future events. It plays a big role in stopping the BigBad in episode 12.
* CuteMute: Kukuri.

* DamselInDistress: Yuka. There is also Shione in Crossover.
** Subverted with [[spoiler:Lisette, who turns out to be SealedEvilInACan]].
* DarkActionGirl: Pretty much all the female Dark Knights.
* DarkChick: Superbia, Invidia.
* DarkIsNotEvil: [[spoiler:The Black Knights]].
* DarkWorld: The Red Night.
* DeathByOriginStory: Kukuri. [[spoiler:Turns out she's still alive]]
* DeclarationOfProtection: Kakeru's motivation for learning how to fight and protect Yuka.

* DemotedToExtra: Shiori, Tadashi and Kaori. They all had a bigger role in the original game, even though Shiori's role becomes a bit more important toward the ending. Kukuri too, while she had a key role in the game.
* DeusSexMachina: [[spoiler:The seal on Shiori's body can be removed by these means]]. Misuzu also explains that it's a way to transfer power among the Kusakabe, and Kakeru does have some Kusakabe blood in him.
* DiegeticSoundtrackUsage: Kakeru's ringtone is a midi version of the OP. Yuka's cell has the ED.
* DiesWideOpen: Yukiko in the anime.
* DissonantSerenity: In the anime, Yuka becomes increasingly calm as the tension rises.
* {{Doppelganger}}: Kukuri Tachibana looks exactly like (and has the same name as) Kakeru's sister Kukuri. In the Xbox 360 version, a real doppelganger is a sub-boss.
* DoubleStandardAbuseFemaleOnMale: Kaori on Tadashi.
* DownerEnding: [[spoiler:Episode 11 in the anime, also a case of TheBadGuyWins. Averted if you continue onto episode 12]].
* DrivenToSuicide: Kakeru's sister in the very beginning. [[spoiler:Turns out there are parallel worlds, and in at least two of them, Kakeru's sister, Kukuri, knew about Liselotte's plan, which needed Kakeru's golden eye to succeed. So in one world, she had the spirit of Abraxas, which had a chain whip attack, which she used to kill him, then herself. But that world didn't have the golden eye, and instead the Kakeru in Yuka's universe/world had it, while Abraxas didn't exist in that version of Kukuri. So instead of killing both of them, Kukuri in Yuka's world only killed herself since she lacked the chain-whip attack of Abraxas. Yeah, it's kind of confusing.]]
* EarlyBirdCameo: Early on in the anime, you can see at least one instance of a pillar of flame lighting up in the background while Kakeru/Yuka are in the Red Night area. Takahisa can also be seen in the school and in the Red Night area, but we're not introduced to him properly until about episode 4.
* EarnYourHappyEnding: [[spoiler:Episode 12 can be viewed as this. Episode 11 can be considered "the bad ending", and is probably what Kakeru saw at the beginning of episode 12 had he done what he did in episode 11, where everyone ends up dying]].
* EldritchLocation
* EnemyMine: [[spoiler:After learning the truth about Liselotte, the girl trapped in the crystal, the main characters help the surviving Dark Knights to fight Liselotte. They fail in episode 11, but succeed in 12]].
* EpicFlail: Kukuri's guardian angel, Abraxas, wields some wicked maces. Abraxas is also a case of ChainedByFashion.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Liselotte is very lovey-dovey toward Vlad. [[spoiler:Subverted finally in the anime, where she refuses to listen to him]].
** Nearly all the Black Knights [[spoiler:even though they actually aren't evil]] have a lot of examples of this in the game.

** In the game, Invidia can be really cruel but she is actually in love with Ira. [[spoiler:And she breaks down when he's killed, Subverted in the anime, where she doesn't give a damn about his death]].
** It's also hinted enough that Acedia cares about his younger sister a lot [[spoiler:and he is furious when she is killed]].

* EvenEvilHasStandards: Kanae in Crossover. Although she is actually [[spoiler:the Mastermind behind Crossover's events, she doesn't want Liselotte to destroy the world. However, her goal is to suppress every form of magic in the world so that Thule could dominate the world. So her goal isn't really more enjoyable than Liselotte's]].
* EvilTowerOfOminousness: Landmark Tower in the real world is replaced by six pillars where the Black Knights reside.
* {{Expy}} - Lieselotte strikingly resembles Suigintou from ''Manga/RozenMaiden''. Kakeru Satsuki bears more than a passing semblance to Minato Arisato from ''VideoGame/Persona3''. And someone capitalized on the fact that Misuzu resembles Mitsuru, and came up with [[http://danbooru.donmai.us/post/show/483699 this.]] ('''Warning Danbooru link''')
* EyepatchOfPower: To cover Kakeru's heterochromia
* FateWorseThanDeath: Lisette's fate is the best example of 11eyes. And even the death is impossible for her.
* FanserviceWithASmile: There's the entire ongoing subplot to get everyone who's not Yukiko into the outfits of Cyberiada, the cafe where Kakeru and Yukiko work. It ends up succeeding.
* FirstNameBasis: Yuka worries about this between Kakeru and Misuzu in the anime, noting a change in dynamics between them.
* GenkiGirl: Yukiko Hirohara. Kaori is the one from Crossover.
* GoodIsNotNice: Yuka at the end of the anime. It's however kinda subverted in the game. Can be applied to Takahisa at the beginning.

** Can be applied to [[spoiler:the Black Knights. They want to save the world but their actions toward Fragments aren't really viewed as good.]]
* GoryDiscretionShot: Played straight for many of the characters that get killed. [[spoiler:Strangely averted for Yukiko, we get to see Superbia rip the fragment out of her, and get to hear her scream and die. Probably why Kakeru loses it and charges Superbia before Yuka "intervenes"]].
* GottaKillThemAll: The Black Knights appear to have this goal for the heroes. [[spoiler:The reason is because each of them (except for Kakeru) holds [[SoulJar a fragment of Liselotte's soul]] or to be exact, a smaller fragment of Liselotte's fragment of the Emerald Tablet]].
* [[GratuitousForeignLanguage Gratuitous Hungarian]]: In the anime version; the most noticeable location being the episode titles, which get worse every episode. The opening narration though is really good, thanks to being voiced by a Hungarian, András Faragó. Which begs the question why no one asked for his opinion on the translations.
** There's also a bit of GratuitousItalian in episode four when Tadashi is trying to get close to Shiori and failing horribly.
* GreyAndGrayMorality: In the visual novel, it's shown that no character is truly good or evil. Actually, It looked like a BlackAndWhiteMorality first but the Black Knights weren't all bad actually, and some of them had a particular goal to act like this toward Fragments and still kept some human qualities. Furthermore, even Liselotte isn't all bad either.
* HealingFactor: Yukiko shrugs off some pretty serious damage during the course of events. [[spoiler: That she was a child soldier who had this ability exploited really reveals what she's gone through.]]
* HealingHands: Another of Kukuri's powers. She even equates it to an RPG.
* HeelFaceTurn: [[spoiler:Velad in episode 12, after seeing Kakeru talk about how there can be hope for a better future, and ends up helping to banish Liselotte]].
* HeroicBSOD: [[NotSoStoic Misuzu]], after [[spoiler:she learns the truth about the Fragments]].
* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:Avaritia holds Liselotte from behind in episode 12 to ensure that she gets banished to an alternate dimension where she hopefully can't escape. Unfortunately he gets sucked in as well]].
** Subverted with Sebastianus in Before Story. It's a StupidSacrifice but heroic anyway.
* HotForStudent: Saiko-sensei, the school nurse, who smokes, drinks and is frequently sniffing around for virgins. Kakeru wonders how she became the nurse in the first place.
* HumansAreBastards: Liselotte's motivation for wanting to KillEmAll.
* ICannotSelfTerminate: [[spoiler:When Takahisa starts to lose control of himself, he asks Yukiko to kill him]].
** Lisette [[spoiler:before the final battle, begs for Kakeru to kill her]].
* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: Yukiko does this a couple of times, has it happen to her as well, and later [[spoiler:a possessed Yuka does it to Kakeru in episode 11]].
* InstantRunes: Acedia, Yuka, Misuzu, and [[spoiler:Shiori]].
* IKnowYouAreInThereSomewhereFight: Kakeru to Liselotte in her final CrossVision view. "Lisette Weltall!" "No, I'm Liselotte Werckmeister--" "Lisette Weltall! Listen to me!"
* IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy: In episode 11, after learning Yuka may still be alive, Kakeru vows to find her. Then Misuzu mentions this trope in her mind.

* {{Jerkass}}: In the anime, there is Yuka who is surely a real BitchInSheepsClothing toward the end. [[spoiler:She was nice at the beginning, but finally when the madness leads her towards {{Yandere}}, she didn't care for Yukiko or Takahisa when they are killed and tried to kill Misuzu herself. She even freed Liselotte herself to have Kakeru for herself. And she still ends up with Kakeru though]]. Subverted in the game.
** In the anime, there is Takahisa but is actually a JerkWithAHeartOfGold.

* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Takahisa acts cold towards most people, but he does save them occasionally in the other world.

** Georgius although [[spoiler:he unwillingly sacrificed his comrades in the battle. He is really a good person and accepts every people even if they haven't the same belief]].
** Benedictus is a Jerkass but he really loves his father and although he isn't always kind toward Scholastica, he cares for her and tries to protect her during serious moments.
** Sophia isn't a JerkWithAHeartOfGold but has more a HiddenHeartOfGold as she tries to persuade Shiori she isn't a kind person.
* JerkWithAHeartOfJerk: Johanna. [[spoiler:She only saved Shiori in her trial because she was just viewed as interesting. To Johanna, it's really a miracle.]]
* KarmaHoudini: Incoming apocalypse be damned, how can someone get away with brutally murdering three of the most sympathetic characters, one of whom was completely innocent. Well, [[spoiler:Misao]] managed to pull it off somehow.
** Despite becoming overly clingy, putting a razor blade in another of the cast's tea and willingly unleashing the BigBad, [[spoiler:Yuka]] somehow gets out of punishment without one single character calling [[spoiler:her]] out.
** [[spoiler:Michel Maximilian. He is the one who transformed Lisette into Liselotte and yet, Nobody knows what's happened to him and he doesn't seem to have paid the price for his actions]].
* KillEmAll: The bad ending. It rivals [[Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion End of Evangelion]] but is revealed to only be a possible scenario.
* LightIsNotGood: [[spoiler:The girl in white trapped in the crystal seems like an innocent person, but in actuality she's Liselotte, a pretty evil person bent on destroying all of mankind due to losing her lover. Doesn't help that the Dark Knights look evil and continually attack the main characters without bothering to tell them why]].
** Can be applied to [[spoiler:Johanna. She is supposed to be the Pope of Index but she is far from being a saint as she actually willingly sent the Punishement Squad to their deaths in the battle against Liselotte. Her real role is watching the events and Sophia herself even calls her a sadist]].
* LittleMissBadass: Yukiko, when [[TheGlassesComeOff she takes her glasses off]].
* LittleMissSnarker: Shiori Momono, a returnee from Italy. Frequently wishes death on Tadashi. Then again, so does Kaori, but in a much more physically violent manner.
* LovecraftianSuperpower: The strongest of Misuzu's blades has some elements of this, including being powered by her own life force, that proves why she doesn't use it very often.
* LoveMakesYouEvil: Liselotte. Although she was already evil before, her meet with Vlad and his death makes her a lot crazier.
** Yuka in the anime somehow. She isn't actually evil, but she became crazy {{Yandere}} when she thought Kakeru and Misuzu were lovers.
** [[spoiler:Superbia, although she isn't really evil. However, unlike her lover Avaritia, she could kill you in a gory manner without any regrets]].
* LoveTriangle: More than just a triangle in 11eyes game. In the anime, it's however limited to Kakeru, Yuka and Misuzu.
* LoveYouAndEverybody: Done by Kakeru.
* {{Magitek}}: Syu, the protagonist of ''[=CrossOver=]'''s new story, makes use of this, as he's been seen casting Instant Runes from his cell phone.
* MergedReality
* MoodWhiplash: "Kakeru-kun, I've made you lunch and FREAKY MASK BLOBS!!"
* MultipleEndings: [[spoiler:Interestingly, episode 11 is a "What if" bad ending, and is pretty damn depressing. Episode 12 can be viewed as an "alternate/happy" ending, or maybe at the start of episode 12, Kakeru used his foresight ability to see what would happen in episode 11 if he took the action he did in trying to save Yuka]].
* MySisterIsOffLimits: In Yukiko's after story, Ema's thanking Kakeru for all the help in getting the school festival ready. Takahisa becomes furious.
* NiceHat: Kukuri wears one.
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: [[spoiler:After all but two of the Black Knights are defeated, it turns out they were the ones who were trying to stop the world from ending, not cause it]].
* NiceJobFixingItVillain: [[spoiler:After the Dark Knights take the fragment out of Yukiko, Yuka suddenly shows up and throws it into the crystal seal holding the witch. So from the POV of the Dark Knights, the "bad guys" just released the BigBad, while from Yuka's POV, she was helping to release an innocent person, and also, "protecting" Kakeru since the Dark Knights were attacking him]].
* NotWhatItLooksLike: In episode six of the anime, Yuka walks in on Kakeru and Misuzu in what looks to be a compromising position. Some IntimateHealing was involved after the Eye of Aeon was used for the first time.
* OfficialCouple: Unless her route is chosen, Yukiko and Takahisa end up together. Tadashi and Kaori become one in Resona forma.

* OminousLatinChanting: The OP ("Lunatic Tears...") has ominous chanting of the SevenDeadlySins. Until it's revealed that these are, in fact, the names of the Black Knights. ThemeNaming runs among them. Ominous Chanting is present in ''[=CrossOver=]'''s OP ("Endless Tears...") and the anime's OP ("Arrival of Tears") as well.
* OneManArmy: Vlad. Though he has some help for the second one.
* OnTheNextEpisodeOfCatchphrase: "Is there an answer at the end of the nightmare?"
* OralFixation: Takahisa always has something in his mouth, be it a cigarette or food.
* OrdinaryHighSchoolStudent
* PaintItBlack: [[spoiler:Lisette's outfit turns from white to black when she becomes Liselotte.]]
* PantyShot: Yuka has the most, though the other girls aren't immune.
* {{Pet The Dog}}: A lot of characters have a PetTheDog moment:

** Nearly all Black Knights have a PetTheDog moment. Superbia in the anime is cruel as hell toward the Fragments but she really loves Avaritia. In Before Story, she also has a PetTheDog with Scholastica when she taught origami to her.

** In Before Story, Benedictus is shown as unsympathetic by his Jerkass nature at times. However, he really cares for his younger sister and tried to save her somehow in the battle. He also has one with his father at the beginning.
** Johanna has a PetTheDog moment toward Shiori After Story's end as she decided to [[spoiler:help Shiori in her trial. However it's kinda subverted as she only did it because she found her as a very interesting individual. She is still a monster though]].
** Kanae has many examples [[spoiler:although she still the BigBad from Crossover]]. At times, she answers to students's questions when she is in the library, as she did for Shuu when he searched for Doppelganger. She also has a PetTheDog moment with a cat during a meeting with Shuu.
* PhantomZone: Time comes to a halt during the Red Night, and any property damage that occurs there doesn't transfer back to the real world.
* PlayingWithFire: Takahisa
* QuirkyMinibossSquad: The Black Knights, with Avarita functioning as TheDragon.
* RapeAsDrama: In every case where this is shown, it leads to drama for the character. Lisette can say this very well [[spoiler:after having been captured by crusaders who destroyed her village, she is raped by them many times and nearly killed. That event leads her to her hatred for the world as well as her transformation in Liselotte.]]
** Ema, Takahisa's sister [[spoiler:is said to have been raped by her abusive father. It lead to Takahisa to burning him alive then living in street where he fortunately met Saiko who took him under her wing]].
** In Before Story [[spoiler:Benedictus is forced to see tentacles growing from his own body which raped his sister Scholastica before tearing her apart. It made Benedictus mad and apparently lead to his own death.]]
* RedemptionEqualsDeath: Vlad could be viewed as one. [[spoiler:He spent all the time to wish the destruction of the world and is charged of Liselotte's actions. Even if he was already died, he helped Kakeru through Eye of Aeon to fight her before the Eye is absorbed by Demiourgos. In If Story, he came back to the past to protect Lisette from her fate too and died afterward]].
* RedOni,BlueOni: Takahisa is the former while Ema is the latter.

* RedSkyTakeWarning
* {{Ruritania}}: The nation of Drasuvania, which figures into the backstories of Vlad and Yukiko.
* {{SayMyName}}: Yuka says Kakeru's name. '''A LOT'''.
* ScaledUp: For the final battle, Avaritia turns into a giant black dragon.
* ScarsAreForever: Invidia
* SchoolFestival: Putting on one is a major subplot in Yukiko and Takahisa's after stories in ''Resona Forma''.
* SchoolNurse: Saiko-sensei. Though with her smoking and chasing after students, she's not very good at the job.
* ScrewDestiny
* SenseiChan: Saiko-sensei.
* SevenDeadlySins: A very prominent motif in the story.
* ShipperOnDeck: Saiko, the nurse, seems a bit too interested in trying to hook up Kakeru and Yuka. She gets mad at Takihasa when he didn't come home, until she thinks he spent the night with Yukiko, then seems okay with it, much to his dismay.
* ShoutOut: There is a room full of shout outs in the visual novel. Here's the image [[http://danbooru.donmai.us/post/show/253313]].
* ShutUpHannibal
* SiblingYinYang: Takahisa and Ema. And Benedictus and Scholastica (Acedia siblings) in Before Story.
* SimultaneousArcs: Essentially what Cross Vision does.
* SleepCute: After the first Red Night, Kakeru decides to stay at Yuka's house. She holds his hand as they sleep beside each other. Aww...
* SplitPersonality: When Yukiko [[TheGlassesComeOff removes her glasses]], she goes from a genki girl to an emotionless, cold blooded KnifeNut.
* StepfordSmiler: [[spoiler:Yukiko]]
* StopOrIShootMyself: In episode 12, Kakeru, having forseen the future had he done what he intended in episode 11, instead threatened to commit suicide, and thereby killed the lover Liselotte was trying to meet up with again.
* SugarAndIcePersonality: Misuzu. Can be applied to Vlad in If Story.
* SupernaturalGoldEyes: Known specifically as the Eye of Aeon, it allows Kakeru to see the future. The real value of the eye is that it allows the user to assimilate previous users' experience, memories and above all, to see different possibilities of the future and realize the one that the user desires.
* TakeAThirdOption: Instead of trying to do the episode 11 Bad End plot, Kakeru pretty much stabs himself in episode 12. It ends up working and he recovers later.
* TakingYouWithMe: Invidia plans to kill everyone in Kakeru's gang by exploding herself, but she fails due to [[spoiler:Yuka's power awakening]].
* TalkingInYourDreams: Vlad, a knight with the same kind of heterochromia s as Kakeru, appears in his dreams every time that the Red Night occurs.
* TalkingWithSigns: Kukuri Tachibana. Scholastica did it too in Before Story.
* Team-Papa: Samson in Before Story. Georgius could be one too but to a lesser degree.
* TearsOfBlood: Kakeru, usually when weird supernatural stuff starts happening.
* TrueCompanions: "For our friends and tomorrow!"
* {{Tsundere}}: Mio from Crossover. Misuzu could also be viewed as one, but she is more of a [[SugarAndIcePersonality kuudere]]. Kaori is one toward Tadashi.
* UnluckyChildhoodFriend: Yuka and Kakeru, Tadashi and Kaori.
* UnstoppableRage: [[spoiler:Takahisa after Saiko is killed. He asks for a MercyKill from Yukiko while he's still himself]].
* VillainousFriendship: Between the Black Knights [[spoiler:although they aren't the bad guys]] Avaritia and Superbia are the Type I in the anime,as Avaritia protected Superbia from Shiori's attack. However it's kinda subverted [[spoiler:as Avaritia is really TheDragon and Liselotte is really the BigBad]].
** In Crossover, Kanae and Liselotte who were Thule Members are type III. Kanae really admires Liselotte [[spoiler:although she doesn't want her to destroy the world]] but Liselotte didn't care for her and was just interested in the destruction.
** However, between Liselotte and Fu Manchu are more or less the type IV. Liselotte as for Kanae saw just Fu Manchu as a pawn for her destruction of the world and Fu Manchu in return mocked openly Liselotte and even [[spoiler:revealed her intentions to Georgius]].
** Between Liselotte and Walter, the main antagonist of 3days, a prequel of 11eyes, have a relationship which could be more of Type IV but Liselotte [[spoiler:after having discovered that Walter was the only one who infiltrated the Index Underground Library]] gained some respect to him and their relationship could be viewed as type II as Walter thinks Liselotte as weak and would like to be Thule's leader instead of her.
* ViolentlyProtectiveGirlfriend: Misuzu can be viewed as one to Kakeru although she isn't really his girlfriend. Yuka is one somehow.
* WeirdMoon: The moon is black, [[GiganticMoon three times larger than normal]], and once Kakeru and Yuka leave the strange otherworld, still visible.
* WhamEpisode: Episode 9. Things are not the same any more for the main characters after that.
* WhatTheHellHero: Interesting trope for this series. [[spoiler:Turns out that the main characters are actually "the bad guys", and the Dark Knights are the "good" ones, trying to keep the evil witch from achieving her goal to collect the fragments within the main characters and destroy humanity. However, a lot of it probably could have been avoided, had the Dark Knights not attacked them and continually told them "we need to kill you", which justified the main characters in defending themselves and killing the Dark Knights, so this trope applies to both sides if you think about it]].
* WhenAllYouHaveIsAHammer: Takahisa's method of fighting is with fire, since that's all he has in the Red Night area.
* WhipSword: Invidia. It resembles a human spine.
* WhoWantsToLiveForever?: [[spoiler:Lisette/Liselotte, because of [[CycleOfRevenge what she went through in the Crusades]], became immortal, [[LoveMakesYouEvil fell in love with Vlad]], went crazy when he died and then [[TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt decided to wipe out all of humanity]]]].
* WhiteGloves: Misuzu, when she's not using her powers.
* WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds: Liselotte, or rather, Lisette. After what she's gone through in the Crusade...
* {{Yandere}}: Yuka. Specifically, episode 10 of the anime, [[spoiler:with her handing that cup of tea to Misuzu with the razor blade at the bottom of it, and how she corrects Kakeru gently about using Misuzu's ''last'' name]].
** In the game, Yuka even [[spoiler:tried to make a world where Kakeru knows just herself]]. However, in this case, she is more a dorodere case as [[spoiler:she especially hated herself for her orphanage's event. Her personality was a bit different from the anime]].

The game is a indirect sequel to ''3days'', an earlier novel (though it seems most Lass’ games share universe anyway). Several characters between the games are related.

The game is a indirect sequel to ''3days'', an earlier novel. Several characters between the games are related.

** Not really in Kakeru's case, as the couple is official according to the player's choice in the game. However, in the anime, Yuka and Kakeru end up together and in the manga, he ends up with Misuzu. However a later Lass game, Liber 7 seems to point to Misuzu’s route and After Story as the True Route after all.

* ThemeTuneCameo: Kakeru's ringtone is a midi version of the OP. Yuka's cell has the ED.

[[quoteright:218:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/11eyes-TVT.jpg]]

* PinchMe: [[spoiler:Episode 11 is what might have happened had Kakeru not been prepared. His vision comes to an end just after the credits, leading to him snapping back into action]].

* ZettaiRyouiki: Yuka, Shiori, Yukiko, and Kaori.

* FanWebcomic: Pixiv user Zouazarashi drew fancomics featuring the Black Knights around the time of the game's debut, and is now [[PromotedFanboy drawing them for the anime's website]]. The Black Knights act a lot goofier in these than they do normally.

* GreyandGrayMorality: In the visual novel, it's shown that no character is truly good or evil. Actually, It looked like a BlackAndWhiteMorality first but the Black Knights weren't all bad actually, and some of them had a particular goal to act like this toward Fragments and still kept some human qualities. Furthermore, even Liselotte isn't all bad either.

* ContinuityNod: Misuzu is descended from Ryuuichi Kusukabe, a character who first appeared in ''3days''. Yukiko makes a reference to Tsukiko, her older sister, who also appeared in ''3days''.

* {{Tsundere}}: Mio from Crossover. Misuzu could also be viewed as one, but she is more of a {{kuudere}}. Kaori is one toward Tadashi.

* AdaptationalVillainy: The Black Knights were evil in the original visual novel, but that was explained that [[spoiler:they were insane because of the Larvaes in their bodies after that Misao revived them again.]] They cared all for each other, and while they hated the Fragments, they never tortured them ForTheEvulz like in the anime. [[spoiler:Lieselotte]] in the game was more sympathetic because of her DarkAndTroubledPast and her genuine care for Vlad. In the anime, the past was AdaptedOut and she never cared for him.

* AffablyEvil: [[spoiler:Kanae. She could offer you a cup of tea and try to kill you afterward]].

** Especially if we ignore the fact that the anime has really messed up everything. In the game, the Black Knights are more developed than in the anime and except their cruelty toward Fragments, they aren't really evil or even sadistic. Their background in Before Story arc shows all of them are even kind people (even if in Acedia's case, it's a bit uncertain).

** [[spoiler:Benedictus and Scholastica too, as they are from Shiori's same family line, even if Scholastica is a real hologram. Georgius is one too but in a lesser extent]].
* BathSuicide: Kukuri's death.

* BigBad: You'd think it was [[spoiler:the Dark Knights,]] but in actuality, [[spoiler:it's the girl in the crystal.]]

* HealingFactor: Yukiko shrugs off some pretty serious damage during the course of events. That she was a child soldier who had this ability exploited really reveals what she's gone through.

*** In Takahisa After Story, Takahisa towards Ema. It's revealed the reason why he ran away from his family was because he burnt alive his father who abused Ema sexually. He also ran away from her for her safety. When they reunited, he acted as an overprotective brother towards her again and had been furious when he thought Kakeru was interested in Ema.

* DiesWideOpen: Yukiko.

* BrotherSisterIncest: Kukuri of course. Subverted in the anime, but in the game she has her own route, which is also actually the True Ending of 11eyes.

* BrotherSisterIncest: Kukuri of course. Subverted in the anime, but in the game she has her own route, which is also actually the True Ending of 11eyes/

* BrotherSisterIncest: Kukuri of course. Subverted in the anime, but in the game she has her own route, which is also actually the True Ending of 11eyes, however in Resona Forma [[spoiler:Kukuri is from another world and it is revealed that they aren't related.]]

** [[spoiler: Benedictus and Scholastica too, as they are from Shiori's same family line, even if Scholastica is a real hologram. Georgius is one too but in a lesser extent]].

** Kakeru seems to lose it when [[spoiler: Yukiko is killed in front of him.]]

* BigBad: You'd think it was [[spoiler: the Dark Knights,]] but in actuality, [[spoiler: it's the girl in the crystal.]]

* BittersweetEnding: by the end of the anime [[spoiler: Yukiko, Takahisa, Shiori and Saiko are dead. Even if they seem to be alive, those are not the same characters as the ones we're familiar with. But at least Liselotte is defeated.]]

** Irene [[spoiler: when she thought Sebastianus was alive, her body is ripped off.]]

*** Also the scene [[spoiler: where Kakeru rejected her love as he loves Yuka.]]

* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadAss: Yukiko seems like a ditz most of the time, [[spoiler: until the glasses come off.]]

* DownerEnding: [[spoiler: Episode 11 in the anime, also a case of TheBadGuyWins. Averted if you continue onto episode 12]].
* DrivenToSuicide: Kakeru's sister in the very beginning. [[spoiler: Turns out there are parallel worlds, and in at least two of them, Kakeru's sister, Kukuri, knew about Liselotte's plan, which needed Kakeru's golden eye to succeed. So in one world, she had the spirit of Abraxas, which had a chain whip attack, which she used to kill him, then herself. But that world didn't have the golden eye, and instead the Kakeru in Yuka's universe/world had it, while Abraxas didn't exist in that version of Kukuri. So instead of killing both of them, Kukuri in Yuka's world only killed herself since she lacked the chain-whip attack of Abraxas. Yeah, it's kind of confusing.]]

* EarnYourHappyEnding: [[spoiler: Episode 12 can be viewed as this. Episode 11 can be considered "the bad ending", and is probably what Kakeru saw at the beginning of episode 12 had he done what he did in episode 11, where everyone ends up dying]].

* EnemyMine: [[spoiler: After learning the truth about Liselotte, the girl trapped in the crystal, the main characters help the surviving Dark Knights to fight Liselotte. They fail in episode 11, but succeed in 12]].

* GoryDiscretionShot: Played straight for many of the characters that get killed. [[spoiler: Strangely averted for Yukiko, we get to see Superbia rip the fragment out of her, and get to hear her scream and die. Probably why Kakeru loses it and charges Superbia before Yuka "intervenes"]].

* HeelFaceTurn: [[spoiler: Velad in episode 12, after seeing Kakeru talk about how there can be hope for a better future, and ends up helping to banish Liselotte]].
* HeroicBSOD: [[NotSoStoic Misuzu]], after [[spoiler: she learns the truth about the Fragments]].
* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler: Avaritia holds Liselotte from behind in episode 12 to ensure that she gets banished to an alternate dimension where she hopefully can't escape. Unfortunately he gets sucked in as well]].

* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: Yukiko does this a couple of times, has it happen to her as well, and later [[spoiler: a possessed Yuka does it to Kakeru in episode 11]].

* JerkWithAHeartOfJerk: Johanna. [[spoiler: She only saved Shiori in her trial because she was just viewed as interesting. To Johanna, it's really a miracle.]]
* KarmaHoudini: Incoming apocalypse be damned, how can someone get away with brutally murdering three of the most sympathetic characters, one of whom was completely innocent. Well, [[spoiler: Misao]] managed to pull it off somehow.
** Despite becoming overly clingy, putting a razor blade in another of the cast's tea and willingly unleashing the BigBad, [[spoiler: Yuka]] somehow gets out of punishment without one single character calling [[spoiler: her]] out.

* LightIsNotGood: [[spoiler: The girl in white trapped in the crystal seems like an innocent person, but in actuality she's Liselotte, a pretty evil person bent on destroying all of mankind due to losing her lover. Doesn't help that the Dark Knights look evil and continually attack the main characters without bothering to tell them why]].

* MultipleEndings: [[spoiler: Interestingly, episode 11 is a "What if" bad ending, and is pretty damn depressing. Episode 12 can be viewed as an "alternate/happy" ending, or maybe at the start of episode 12, Kakeru used his foresight ability to see what would happen in episode 11 if he took the action he did in trying to save Yuka]].

* NiceJobFixingItVillain: [[spoiler: After the Dark Knights take the fragment out of Yukiko, Yuka suddenly shows up and throws it into the crystal seal holding the witch. So from the POV of the Dark Knights, the "bad guys" just released the BigBad, while from Yuka's POV, she was helping to release an innocent person, and also, "protecting" Kakeru since the Dark Knights were attacking him]].

* PaintItBlack: [[spoiler: Lisette's outfit turns from white to black when she becomes Liselotte.]]

** In Before Story [[spoiler: Benedictus is forced to see tentacles growing from his own body which raped his sister Scholastica before tearing her apart. It made Benedictus mad and apparently lead to his own death.]]

* WhatTheHellHero: Interesting trope for this series. [[spoiler: Turns out that the main characters are actually "the bad guys", and the Dark Knights are the "good" ones, trying to keep the evil witch from achieving her goal to collect the fragments within the main characters and destroy humanity. However, a lot of it probably could have been avoided, had the Dark Knights not attacked them and continually told them "we need to kill you", which justified the main characters in defending themselves and killing the Dark Knights, so this trope applies to both sides if you think about it]].

* {{Yandere}}: Yuka. Specifically, episode 10 of the anime, [[spoiler: with her handing that cup of tea to Misuzu with the razor blade at the bottom of it, and how she corrects Kakeru gently about using Misuzu's ''last'' name]].

* WeirdMoon: The moon is black, three times larger than normal, and once Kakeru and Yuka leave the strange otherworld, still visible.

* {{Big Brother instinct}}: If her route isn't chosen, Yuka could be viewed as one. Not in the anime however, as Kakeru is in love with her.

* {{BrotherSisterIncest}}: Kukuri of course. Subverted in the anime, but in the game she has her own route, which is also actually the True Ending of 11eyes, however in Resona Forma [[spoiler:Kukuri is from another world and it is revealed that they aren't related.]]

* {{Expy}} - Lieselotte strikingly resembles Suigintou from {{Rozen Maiden}}. Kakeru Satsuki bears more than a passing semblance to Minato Arisato from ''VideoGame/Persona3''. And someone capitalized on the fact that Misuzu resembles Mitsuru, and came up with [[http://danbooru.donmai.us/post/show/483699 this.]] ('''Warning Danbooru link''')
