8 | !!Tropes in the story: |
9 | |
10 | * AffectionateGestureToTheHead: In chapter 1, Isana gives this to Shinta to comfort him when it seems that they are about to lose. |
11 | * BeautifulAllAlong: [[spoiler:Sano]] |
12 | * BerserkButton: Don't harm happy couples near Shinata. He will be very pissed and [[spoiler:attack even the enemy god, which is technically against the rules]]. |
13 | * CharlesAtlasSuperpower: Guardian god Kuebiko's agent Sakura Noto is naturally strong and fast from working on a farm. |
14 | * CloseCallHaircut: Shinta is a regular recipient of this. |
15 | * DivineDate: Shinta's and Isana's relationship, though at first it's mostly one-sided on the former's side. |
16 | * DoubleEntendre: When Shinta was talking about the RedStringOfFate, everyone else thought he was talking about something else. |
17 | -->'''Shinta''':"That is, when there's a little skinship between Isana and I... It'll get bigger due to excitement!!!"\ |
18 | '''Yorutono, Kasama, and Isana''' are dumbfounded at what he said.\ |
19 | '''Isana''': "Wh...Wh...Wh...What...You idiot! What...What gets bigger...? What are you saying...?"\ |
20 | '''Shinta''': "Ah...The red string, of course." |
21 | * ImprobableWeaponUser: The agents of the gods fight using the power of their wish. The more territory a god has, the more wishes the god grants to their respective agent. |
22 | ** Shinta's first wish grants him and Isana the RedStringOfFate. They use it as a rope to bind, hit, and block their opponents. |
23 | ** Shinano's first wish grants him strengthend hands to chop off beer bottle necks; he uses the bottle necks as a range attack. He can also practically just use his strengthend hands to attack his opponents directly. |
24 | ** Kasama's first wish grants him an Anti-Theft Safe that he can use to attack and trap his opponents, it can also be used to protect himself. The greedier he gets the more powerful it is. |
25 | ** Mirei's first wish grants her the power to control whoever looks into her eyes. |
26 | ** Sakura's tenth wish grants a large scarecrow. The scarecrow's power is when at least a strand of hair of the opponent is inserted into it, the opponent is put into [[YourMindMakesItReal a nightmare that causes physical damage]]. |
27 | * InvisibleToNormals: Gods are invisible to humans unless they are agents. Isana is visible due to Shinta's wish. |
28 | * LoopholeAbuse: Technically, it is a major foul for the human agent to strike the opponent's god-partner in a battle. [[spoiler:Shinata got around this by "accidentally" hitting the enemy god while in a rage. He then repeated it several times over]]. |
29 | * LoveAtFirstSight: Sano for Mirei Ayanokouji. |
30 | * LoveGoddess: Isana is the goddess of marriage. Ironically though she admits she has very little knowledge of marriage. |
31 | * MagicallyBindingContract |
32 | * {{Miko}}: Isana's smaller girl form looks like one. |
33 | * RedStringOfFate: The 1st wish power Shinta has with his contract with Isana. It's size varies depending on each others' feelings for one another; Shinta's side size is large that it is wrapped around his wrist and Isana's side size is just tied to her pinkie finger. |
34 | * {{Shapeshifting}}: Isana can shapeshift from her titanic [[spoiler:sealed]] form to a girl around Shinta's age. |
35 | ** {{Sizeshifter}}: She can shrink her titanic form so she can sit on the couch. |
36 | * ShrinesAndTemples: Every 100 years, the gods have a competition for territory. Smaller territories are shrines while larger ones are akin to temples. |
37 | * SillyMeGesture: Isana does it after giving strange descriptions of her true form to Shinta then telling him that she lied and actually can't remember. |
38 | * ThinksLikeARomanceNovel: Tsubaki |
39 | * TVNeverLies: Shinano believes that it takes a karate master to break the top of beer bottles. |
40 | * YearsTooEarly: Mirei tells Sano that he is 100 years too early to confess. |
