11	----
12	!!''Rakugo Tennyo Oyui'' contains examples of:
13
14	* AccidentalKiss: Yui and Miyabi in episode 11. Neither of them is happy about it.
15	%%* ActionGirl: Ryo
16	%%* AlphaBitch: Miyabi. She doesn't let up even when everyone's in the Edo period.
17	* AnguishedDeclarationOfLove: Gennai does this to Akira. As it turns out, this boosts Suzu's healing power enough to revive her, and helps Akira revive herself.
18	* AsHimself: Utamaru, the rakugoka who Yui begs to be apprenticed to, is both real and voiced by himself.
19	* BarrierMaiden: All six Tennyo's jewels reinforce the barrier around Edo. Though for a barrier maiden, they're pretty active in the field.
20	* BarrierWarrior: Suzu's power by itself is weak, but she can reinforce the others long enough.
21	%%* CheerfulChild: Suzu
22	* CombatTentacles: The giant cyclops...thing summoned in episode 8.
23	* ConvectionSchmonvection: Yui was protected by a magical barrier when Enchou's first home was on fire, but Tae wasn't.
24	%%* CuteLittleFang: Yui
25	* DangerousForbiddenTechnique: Yui's ''otoshi-banashi'' technique. As it's a fan slash from above, the stronger the enemy, the greater the height she needs. In the case of the black dragon, she's on the border between the atmosphere and ''space'', with the risk of death if she screws it up.
26	* DebutQueue: Though everyone is in Edo by episode 3, it takes one episode at a time for their powers to awaken to their maximum.
27	* DiegeticSwitch: One of the closing moments of the show has Hiromi Kashima, who sings the ED, appear on TV, and then cuts to the ED.
28	* FishOutOfTemporalWater: From the year 2005 to Keio 3, which puts them in 1867 on the Gregorian calendar. They all adjust surprisingly well.
29	%%* GenkiGirl: Yui, also TheDitz.
30	* HealingHands: Suzu's Tennyo abilities include these.
31	* HistoricalDomainCharacter: Enchou Sanyuutei, a real historical Rakugoka. Gennai Hiraga, a famous inventor (and Akira's love interest.) Toshizou Hijikata, commander of the Shinsengumi. All fairly major characters.
32	%%* IdiotHair: Yui.
33	* IntergenerationalFriendship: Akira's closest companion is Suzu, the 12-year old genius.
34	* InTheNameOfTheMoon: Each of the girls has a rather lengthy phrase when they transform.
35	%%* JidaiGeki
36	%%* KatanasAreJustBetter: Ryo
37	* LegacyCharacter: Even if the jewels forcibly teleport their users to the past.
38	%%* MagicalGirl
39	* MindControlEyes: Tae, for her duration of the wedding and when she and Ukyo are turned into the black dragon.
40	%%* MonsterOfTheWeek
41	* NoMrBondIExpectYouToDine: Sakyou treats Yui and Enchou to a meal before their arranged final battle.
42	%%* {{Ojou}}: Miyabi
43	* {{Otaku}}: Suzu in particular. She's an Edo fan, and is super excited about actually being there.
44	%%* OtakuOClock
45	* PaperFanOfDoom: Enchou, and also Yui's weapon once she awakens her powers.
46	* PowerGivesYouWings: All Tennyo, sans Akira and Ryo, have a pair of glowing wings on their back.
47	* PuppyLove: Suzu and Ponta. Though Ponta's a tanuki, so he may be somewhat older than her, but their mental ages are about equal. Also an InterspeciesRomance.
48	* SexualEuphemism: As Miyabi had yet to do "this and that," her first order of business is to spy on Yui and figure out what "this and that" is.
49	* SheCleansUpNicely: Everyone is excited to see the tomboyish Ryo dressed up in a kimono. It does look good on her. Hijikata especially thinks so.
50	* SheIsNotMyGirlfriend: Though Ponta says so, his grandfather still thinks Suzu is. Suzu also denies it.
51	%%* ShrinkingViolet: Tae
52	%%* TheStrategist: Suzu's power is noted to be this.
53	%%* TeenGenius: Suzu
54	* ThisIsMyBoomstick: When they're stuck without a kimono for blending in, Suzu and Akira impress a pair of local shopkeepers with their modern cellphones. Even without reception, the camera is enough to wow them.
55	* TitleDrop: Yui's RoleCalled title is dropped at the end of episode four when she awakens her true power as a Tennyo.
56	%%* TransformationSequence
57	* TransformingMecha: A karakuri variation. It can go from vaguely humanoid to a tank, but it's powered by Akira's own jewel energy, and she hadn't awakened at the time. It's also rebuilt into a time machine(!) in the final episode.
58	* TrueLovesKiss: Gennai wakes up Akira in this fashion when she's trapped in a LotusEaterMachine.
59	* UnholyMatrimony: Ukyo is to be wed to Tae in hopes of making her evil. Tae resists, though.
60	* WhereAreTheyNowEpilogue: As narrated by Yui. Notably, Tae becomes the StudentCouncilPresident.
61	* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: [[spoiler:When the wedding doesn't go through, Sakyou kills his younger brother on the spot. Since it makes his older brother happy, Ukyo doesn't resist.]]
