This Fanfic Contains Tropes Of:

---

In General

• Adaptational Angst Upgrade: Everyone falls under this category from the boyfriends frustration at Teiko for experimenting on their lovers and making their childhoods a living hell to the Miracles trying to overcome their Dark and Troubled Past of being superpowered Child Soldiers and all the trauma that came with it. There's plenty of angst to go around in this story.
• Child Soldiers: with Super-Soldier thrown into the mix. Teiko basically created superpowered assassins and soldiers at their disposal.
• Color-Coded for Your Convenience: The Rainbow Motif and Western Zodiac are used.
  • Rainbow: Power Nullifier
  • Purple: Super-Strength, Nigh-Invulnerability, Healing Factor
  • Pink: Technopath
  • Blue: Super-Speed, Healing Factor
  • Green: Telekinesis
  • Black: Laser-Guided Amnesia variant of Invisibility
  • Yellow: Shapeshifter, Healing Factor
  • Red: Seers, Compelling Voice
  • Orange: Power Floats
  • White: Cast from Lifespan
  • Gray: Body Snatcher
  • Gold: Telepathy, Compelling Voice variant of Mind Control, Seers
  • Silver: Super-Speed, Power Floats, Super-Strength
  • Brown: Playing with Fire
  • Soldier: Little Bit Beastly
  • Capricorn: Our Mermaids Are Different variant of Shapeshifter, Telepathy
  • Sagittarius: Healing Factor, Nigh-Invulnerability,
  • Libra: Emotion Control
• Connected All Along: Himuro was connected to Nijimura Shuzo and Yachi's aunt was the one who saved Hinata. The Kasamatsu family was related to the Yamamoto family in Iwatobi.
• Humans Are Bastards: Most if not all the Miracles hold this view on humanity and to be fair they're pretty well Justified in that philosophy considering they were born and raised as superpowered Child Soldiers. They've all seen the worst humanity has to offer and the power difference between them aren't doing them any favors either. This is Deconstructed when they slowly stop being so hostile towards humans thanks to the JSDF's dedication to helping them through their trauma and the love and support they get from their human partners.
• I Just Want to Be Normal: The Miracles and other Teiko and Samezuka victims expressed this, using their powers for Mundane Utility.
• The Immune: There are special people out there who are apparently immune to the superpowers of the Miracles like Furihata Kouki.
• Invasion of the Baby Snatchers: Teiko
  • They kidnapped runaways and other children that the world won't miss via manipulating their insecurities and desires. For example, Mihashi Ren and Tajima Yuichiro were kidnapped. If these children as much as express something different and did not want it, they will implore that this was their fault. They also had no problem Faking the Dead for these children either when they kidnapped them.
  • They had no problem, torturing and killing the children under their control if they misbehave or failed to live up to expectations.
  • They were trained to be assassins and soldiers. Hinata escaped at age 10 and from Word of God that he was there at Cairo where everyone got shot, he displayed skills of an assassin when provoked such as Tsukishima using him to win at lasertag.
• Mad Scientist: Teiko scientists. There are Token Good Teammate then and there but overall, the lot are a bunch of nutters. One doctor in JSDF expressed that they could've put their mind to save humanity such as permanently eliminating cancer but instead they decided to create and experimented on a bunch of superpowered Child Soldiers by turning them into assassins.
• Official Couple: Lots of them
• Post Humous Character: White, Brown, Orange. Orange was the major reason why Kuroko decided to finally formulate an escape plan. Averted when it's revealed Orange survived due to a scientist slipping a sleeping formula instead of poison but Orange's story still drove Kuroko's motivations.
• Power Incontinence: Downplayed. All the Miracle's have complete control when they activate their powers but when they try to shut them off, some of that power still affects their daily lives to smaller degrees. They call this effect "Latent Overflow".
  • With Kuroko instead of being completely Invisible, it only gives him a very low presence which allows most people to overlook him.
  • Kise is able to copy any skill he sees which is an offshoot ability of his power to Shapeshift into anyone.
• Reasonable Authority Figure: JSDF.
• What Measure Is a Non-Human?: A driving theme in the entire series, be it the ones they created from test tubes and the experimented children they kidnapped. Teiko scientists see them as monsters that they created while JSDF and others who know them sees them as traumatized children. However, the Miracles themselves recognized they are just as capable of horrible things as they are doing good.

Don't Blink You'll Miss It

• And You Thought It Was a Game: Kagami initially believed the Miracles to be some kind of hoax or prank originally since he heard it from word of mouth. ...Didn't really help that he only watches the Sports channel so despite it being on International news, he had nothing to verify the claims and didn't care enough to try.
• The Bet: Played with. Both Kise and Kagami tries to make a bet that the winner of the practice match would get to keep Kuroko on their team. Kuroko makes it very clear to them that no matter what's the outcome of the game, he'd stay with Seirin since he never agreed to the bet in the first place making it All for Nothing- not that they were listening to him anyway.
• The Bully: Justified in the Miracles case during their time at JSDF where they had No Social Skills and hated humanity after everything they've went through. Due to that they used to be terrible bullies to the children there who were trying to help them socialize better, something that infuriated Kasamatsu. They mercilessly taunted the kids and tormented them by even threatening to use their powers on them. Thankfully, they've gotten much better over the years and slowly dropped all those nasty habits.
• The Chessmaster: Kuroko displayed some tendencies when he initiated his escape plan.
• Mistaken Identity: Kagami was originally thought to be a Miracle due to his odd hair and eye color and coincidental timing of one of them enrolling at Seirin at the same time. At least until he made it quite clear he's American anyway.
• Survivor's Guilt: The Miracles expressed this because it was their escape that led to the first Teiko's death sentence of their peers.
• Too Qualified to Apply: One of the conditions the school board put forth when they all enrolled was that they couldn't compete in official games as it would give the schools with Miracles an unfair athletic advantage. Though this is Subverted when it comes to practice games and as long as each school has a Miracle of their own they're allowed to play in the official matches.
• Understatement: After Youji explains to his son that it wouldn't be easy trying to befriend the Miracles- Kasamatsu figures out with certainty that he was vastly underestimating the problem, something he clearly wasn't impressed with. According to him:
  Kasamatsu [Narration]: Instead of being just difficult to deal with they are going to be complete assholes and budding psychopaths to the other kids.
• What Is This Thing You Call "Love"?: The Miracles honestly believed they are incapable of such and its ongoing theme in the first story. Due to being artificially created and their pasts as child assassins they have serious doubts.
• You Remind Me of X: Kagami reminds the Miracles of Orange a lot with his Brutal Honesty and how open be is about his feelings. That's one of the reasons Kuroko got so attached to him at first.
