Line #18 PlayingWith/CueTheSun


1	'''Basic Trope''': Sunrise is a good omen.
2	* '''Straight''': As [[TheHero Bob]] defeats [[EvilOverlord Emperor Evulz]], the sun rises.
3	* '''Exaggerated''': As Bob defeats Emperor Evulz, TheNightThatNeverEnds breaks and the sun rises.
4	* '''Downplayed''': As Bob defeats Emperor Evulz, the night sky lightens a few degrees.
5	* '''Justified''':
6	** As a lich, Emperor Evulz has power that blocks the sun from ever shining in his {{Mordor}}. [[NoOntologicalInertia When he's defeated, this spell is broken]].
7	** The battle took what, ten hours? It's only logical for morning to break.
8	* '''Inverted''':
9	** As Bob defeats Emperor Evulz, the sun sets, symbolizing the definite end of Evulz' life.
10	** As Bob defeats Emperor Evulz it rains, symbolizing the loss of his WorthyOpponent.
11	** The sun rises in the middle of the night, unusually bright, signaling the invasion of Emperor Evulz [[LightIsNotGood Von Helios]].
12	** With Emperor Evulz's defeat, Bob [[RidingIntotheSunset walks off into the sunset]].
13	* '''Subverted''': That which rises is not the sun.
14	* '''Double Subverted''': These are the celestial messengers of the sun goddess, here to save Bob [[LoadBearingBoss from Evulz' crumbling citadel]]. It's the first time the oppressed people here see something close to pure sunlight.
15	* '''Parodied''':
16	** The rising sun has a smiling face and sings the ''Music/OdeToJoy''.
17	** Evulz was defeated in the afternoon and a second sun rises out of nowhere.
18	** Catching a glimpse of a painting of the sunset hanging on Evulz' wall gives Bob the fortitude to attack him properly.
19	* '''Zig Zagged''': As Bob fells Evulz with his blow, the sun rises from the east. But when Evulz rise again and go OneWingedAngel, the sun hides itself. After a difficult battle, Evulz is gone for good, but the sun won't rise. Turns out that Bob needs to [[DeaderThanDead kill Evulz's soul]] in TheUnderworld before the sun will rise. [[ToHellAndBack When he does so]], the sun itself rises in the realm of the dead.
20	* '''Averted''':
21	** The story takes place at midnight.
22	** The story takes place deep in the Arctic Circle in the dead of winter; the sun isn't going to rise for days.
23	* '''Enforced''': This story is titled ''[[AdjectiveNounFred Samurai Punk Bob]]: The Return of [[Myth/EgyptianMythology Ra]]''.
24	* '''Lampshaded''': "It's a new day for the people of this land."
25	* '''Invoked''': Bob times his deathly blow to the rising of the sun.
26	* '''Exploited''': Bob rushes to Evulz's citadel before the sun rises, hoping that he can paint himself as the legendary hero.
27	* '''Defied''': Emperor Evulz hides somewhere safe until daybreak.
28	* '''Discussed''': ???
29	* '''Conversed''': ???
30	* '''Implied''': Bob's final battle against Evulz takes place offscreen; the audience sees events from his daughter Grace's POV while he's fighting the emperor. Fifteen minutes after Grace takes note of the sun's ascent, Bob comes home holding Evulz's head by one hair.
31	* '''Deconstructed''': Legends say that whenever a great evil is defeated, the sun will rise. Since Bob (a {{Ninja}}) defeats Evulz in the midnight, the people won't believe that he's their hero.
32	* '''Reconstructed''': Considering this, Bob [[PalsWithJesus asks his celestial friend Alice]] to shower the world with light should he defeat Evulz.
33	* '''Plotted A Good Waste''': The entire story is about humanity's desperate attempts at surviving a [[WorldWarIII Nuclear]]/[[ColonyDrop Impact]]/[[ChekhovsVolcano Volcanic]] [[EndlessWinter Winter]], the thick cloud of dust and debris kicked off by the apocalypse blocking off the sun and being a disaster all by itself. The sunlight peering through the thick cloud of dust and debris, instead of being a metaphorical positive omen, is an indication of said cloud thinning out.
