* MainCharacterFinalBoss: Ayato Kamina ends up [[spoiler:becoming the final boss of the show after he merges with Ixtli and becomes the True [=RahXephon=]. During this time, his song ends up killing off several characters and when Quon appears to him in her own ascended form, its so they can merge together, allowing Ayato to rewrite reality so that the Mulian threat never existed and all Mulians could live normal lives as humans.]]

Misuse: screams only. Also, it's ZCE that relies on another trope.

It's 2015, and OrdinaryHighSchoolStudent Ayato Kamina lives in a sharply delimited world. Three years earlier, something happened that enclosed Tokyo in an impenetrable shell called "Tokyo Jupiter"(becuase that's where it is and what it resembles). As far as Ayato and the other inhabitants of the city are concerned, the rest of the world simply vanished, and they are all that is left. His painting, and getting by day-to-day while his widowed mother spends all her time on her secret job for the government are more important to him. At least, until mysterious invaders pass through the barrier and attack Tokyo with advanced fighters while strange, sculpture-like war machines protect the city.
