12	----
13	!! Shuuen no Shiori Project contains examples of:
14	* AbandonedArea: The Music room in the OldSchoolBuilding A-ya, B-ko, C-ta, and D-ne always meet at for their occult talks.
15	** Slightly subverted with the Film Club kids as 10 years ago it was still a normal HighSchool.
16	* AlphabeticalThemeNaming
17	* AlternateUniverse: The second novel is just this with all of the Occult Club members switching around the urban legends they got before; A-ya gets the Monkey Paw; B-ko, Mearry-san; C-ta, Doppelganger; and D-ne, Hide and Seek Alone.
18	* AnyoneCanDie: [[spoiler:[[EverybodyDiesEnding And everyone does]].]]
19	* ArtifactOfDeath: The Book and Bookmark of Demise.
20	* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: [[spoiler: D-ne uses the wishes of the Monkey's Paw to become B-ko and to escape from her impending misfortune. Unfortunately, this backfires as becoming B-ko causes all of B-ko's misfortune to befall on her, also getting her killed by an impostor in the end.]]
21	* BreakingTheFourthWall: The Occult Club does just this at the end of the second novel. [[spoiler:The traitor [[YouBastard was you all along!]]...[[UnseenAudience or is it?]]]]
22	* ChekhovsNews: In B-ko's song, Warning of Imposters, the beginning is a tv forecast calling a chance of imposters in the area. [[spoiler: it ends up being her imposter.]]
23	* ColourCodedForYourConvenience: A is red, B is purple, C is some variant of green, D is some kind of blue, and [[OddNameOut E is yellow.]]
24	* CreepyDoll: D-ne's Ririka doll.
25	** A-ya's bunny doll counts as this too.
26	* DysfunctionJunction: A-ya is a [[LonersAreFreaks loner]], an occult freak, and [[ManipulativeBastard quite frankly]], a [[{{Jerkass}} jerk]], B-ko, while [[TheAce seemingly perfect]], is actually a {{Mood Swinger}} {{Tsundere}} that's constantly worried about her image, and both C-ta and D-ne are {{Stepford Smiler}} [[StalkerWithACrush stalkers]] who are [[CrazyJealousGuy way]] [[ClingyJealousGirl too]] [[{{Yandere}} obsessed]] with the former two. And these guys are supposed to be [[AntiHero our protagonists]].
27	* DwindlingParty: [[spoiler: Every character dies at the end of their chapters, until the entire cast has died.]]
28	* ExactTimeToFailure: If you do not fulfill Kokkuri-san's demands by one week, you'll die.
29	* ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin: It's a bookmark. And it kills people.
30	* EvilPhone: C-ta has a case of this with Mearry-san.
31	** [[TechnologyMarchesOn Apparently it can use]] Website/{{Twitter}} as well; [[LiteralMetaphor being "followed" now sounds so much more ominous...]]
32	* {{Foreshadowing}}: The smell of D-ne’s shampoo really sticks around.
33	** B-ko mentions Mearry-san in their discussion about who’s watching A-ya.
34	* IronicEcho: “I will protect you.”
35	* LoveConfession: [[spoiler:D-ne to B-ko.]]
36	* LoveDodecahedron: D-ne is in love with B-ko, who's in love with A-ya, who either loves rumors or C-ta or maybe just [[ChasteHero doesn't care about love]]. C-ta, as much as he'd deny it, is obviously in love with A-ya too, and he also has a lot of moments with D-ne.
37	* MadnessMantra: “WHY WON’T YOU COME OUT WHY WON’T YOU COME OUT…”
38	** “No no no no no no no no no no no that’s wrong”
39	** It's been said you can't have a Shuuen no Shiori novel/manga chapter without a page of words repeating over and over.
40	* MediumAwareness: A-ya displays instances of this especially in the second novel.
41	* [[spoiler:MetaTwist: Invoked]] at the end of the second novel. [[spoiler: This is a Shuuen no Shiori novel. What do you mean, everyone's going to live?]]
42	* MurderIsTheBestSolution: They must kill the traitor in order to end the game.
43	* NoNameGiven: All we know is that their names might end in a particular syllable.
44	** [[spoiler:A-ya's classmate who gets sliced in half and D-ne's classmate who ends up hanging off the building don't even get that much.]]
45	* NiceJobBreakingItHero: The incident from ten years ago that started the rumours of the Book of Demise was [[spoiler:caused by the Film Club trying to make a movie.]]
46	* OneLetterName: This would have been literal, had Suzumu not decided calling them by only one letter would sound weird.
47	* RashomonStyle: Each arc of the novels and the manga focuses on each character's POV of the demise game and how they tried to handle the situation.
48	* StalkerWithACrush:While only D-ne’s crush has ever been explicitly stated in canon, [[spoiler:C-ta has four cameras in A-ya’s room and a microphone in his bag.]]
49	** He’s just doing that because he’s A-ya’s [[{{Yandere}} ‘’one and only best friend.’’]]
50	* TrueCompanions: Yes, really. They're ultimately depicted as such in the song ''Shuuen no Shiori''.
51	* UnmovingPlaid: In some of the music videos, the main characters' school uniforms' skirts/pants are depicted as such.
