* ShipToShipCombat: With all the women surrounding Kojou, this was a given amongst the fandom.
* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodCharacter:
** Aya Tokorogi could have been a BigBad that actually poses a danger to the protagonists for several story arcs, but after a threatening debut chapter, she's defeated just as formulaically as the others before her. The character she apparently kills [[spoiler:doesn't even die]].
** Motoki is supposed to be some kind of magician involved in something, but from what the anime actually shows, you would assume his powers are "being an extra" and "standing around and talking cryptically". He doesn't even show up often enough to justify being called the BromanticFoil.

* CounterpartComparison: Fans of ''LightNovel/ACertainMagicalIndex'' tend to notice more than a few similarities in ''Strike the Blood''. Both star a male teen (Touma/Koujo) with a unique relationship to a female teen (Index/ Yukina) that drew the attention of a powerful secret organization (The Church of Necessary Evil/The Lion King Organization) due to their special abilities (Touma's Imagine Breaker/Koujo being the Forth Progenitor) . The protagonists both live in a CityOfAdventure where the majority of their series' plots take place (Academy City/Itogami City), and both series mostly use a GirlOfTheWeek formula to tell story arcs around. The protagonists also form a BattleHarem out of the girls they end up meeting or rescuing.

* CompleteMonster: [[AbusiveParents Aya Tokoyogi]] from the "Fiesta for the Observers" arc is the most depraved and cruel villain in the series. A [[WickedWitch witch]] imprisoned for unspeakable crimes, Aya used her [[TrulySingleParent daughter/clone Yuuma]] to free her, only to rip the source of her power away from Yuuma and leave her near death while mocking her as a worthless existence. Aya would proceed to attempt to destabilize the core of the island they were on to kill all 500,000 residents. Her ultimate goal is simply to rewrite the world itself, destroying it, and then recreating it in her own twisted image [[AGodAmI as a new god]].

Not YMMV. And does not count since some villains (like Rudolf) have pretty darn good reasons to attack the island.
