This page lists all of the YMMV tropes in the original series Gai-Rei. For YMMV tropes that appear in the prequel see YMMV.GaReiZero.

* {{Anvilicious}}: Nothing is subtle in this manga, pretty much.
* DesignatedVillain: [[spoiler:Yomi, who makes the upgrade from AntiVillain to ApocalypseMaiden [[BecauseDestinySaysSo because the Kyuubi demanded it]].]]
* EnsembleDarkhorse: Yomi. Why did you think [[Anime/GaReiZero the prequel]] exists?
* FanPreferredCouple: Despite Kagura and Kensuke being the OfficialCouple, Kagura x Yomi gained prominence amongst many fans, especially those who had watched the [[Anime/GaReiZero prequel]]. There are multiple reasons, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FnaGOLtLoKs&playnext_from=TL&videos=76RdKlmuwZo such as this]].
* SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments:
** Soul 33 sees Kagura and Kensuke getting trapped exploring the lockdown zone when the ground caves in under them. Eventually, they are rescued from their predicament by a horde of ghosts in the area. Most of them soon wander away once the heroes are safe, and two of the ghosts—a pair of street musicians—invite the pair to their place to chat. The visit to the zone goes to show that while they may be spooky and intimidating, ghosts aren't inherently malevolent.
* LesYay: Izumi/Yomi and Kagura, to the point where some argue that the subtext, in reality, is just plain text.
* MagnificentBastard: The God of the Land is a deity that follows the call of nature to support the Dark Priestess and the [[TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt Decimation Plan]] to cleanse the world. The Land God is introduced while interrupting protests around [[HellGate Naraku]] and murdering JDSF soldiers to spread miasma across Tokyo and turn the city into a hellhole. He allows the heroes to escape, knowing that he has ensured the awakening of the Dark Priestess and that she will be hunted by the Agency. Dedicated to defend the Black Priestess Yomi, the Land God makes a temporary truce with the heroes to defend her in the house of his human friend Michael until Yomi embraces her role after suffering a great loss. When The Decimation Plan starts and many Narakus are summoned across the world, the Land God appears to the cowardly world leaders to criticize them for their corruption of the world. When the Light and Dark priestesses reconcile and leave the apocalyptic plan to create a world where humans and spirits co-exist instead, the Land God [[GracefulLoser accepts the results]] and leaves, feeling no regrets for his role.
* ViewerGenderConfusion: Lord Tamamo is female?
