8 | !!This game provides examples of: |
9 | |
10 | * AnimateBodyParts: [[spoiler:Hina actually isn't blood-related to Tsubaki Tougo, and isn't even human at all: she is the 9th tail of Mikoto, separated and turned into a human form.]] |
11 | * TheCorruption: [[spoiler:If an ayakashi devours random people and not those who are "destined" to be devoured by them, eventually they start turning into a monster called "akujiki" (literally translated as "bad eating; eating unusual things"). The final phase of it is becoming a mindless omnivorous black blob.]] |
12 | * CuteIsEvil: Played with. [[spoiler:Most of the ayakashi are pretty cute and friendly, but later it turns out that they occasionally engage in some magic form of [[ImAHumanitarian man-eating]] called "the Meal". Still, it's not a necessary habit, and not all of them do it.]] |
13 | * DarkIsNotEvil: |
14 | -->'''Kurogitsune''': We black foxes aren't villains! We're just a rare species! |
15 | * JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Kurogitsune, while he is rude and feisty, is rather protective of Yue. |
16 | * LittleBitBeastly: Kurogitsune, in his human form, has fox ears and a tail. |
17 | ** Mikoto as well (but with 8 tails instead of just 1). Gold Fishes, however, are much closer to [[FishPeople another trop]] in that case, which looks much less cute and much more [[UncannyValley eerie]]. |
18 | * NoSocialSkills: Touchika Akiyoshi. Downside of being [[ShelteredAristocrat the son of the local aristocrats]]. |
19 | * NotAMorningPerson: Yue, apparently. |
20 | * PaperTalisman: Kurogitsune, in his human form, has one covering up his eye. |
21 | * ReallyWasBornYesterday: [[spoiler:Yue, despite his appearance, is only seven years old.]] |
22 | * SelfMadeOrphan: [[spoiler:It turns out that Yue magically devoured both of his parents when he was born. Though it was just instinctive and not voluntary, obviously, since he was just a newborn at the time.]] |
23 | * SleepyHead: Yue is constantly falling asleep when he shouldn't be. |
24 | * SpareBodyParts: Abe-san-no-tachi has four arms and often uses the "we" pronoun. |
25 | * TitleDrop: Right at the very beginning. The game starts with a song, which first line is "Aka ya akashi ya ayakashi no", which can be translated as "Of the red color, the ceremonial lights and the ayakashi". The term "ayakashi" originally means a specific kind of youkai, but in this game, it refers to all kinds of supernatural beings. |
26 | * {{Youkai}}: The vast majority of the cast are this. However, instead of ''youkai'', another term, ''ayakashi'' is used. |
