• Dragon Ball: Well, at least was.
• Gundam Wing: Can out of the blue go to a streaming site to find a video of episode 1 and watch it.

Non-fighting games:

• Advance Wars: Played the four games.
• Final Fantasy IX: The previous ones never caught my eyes, and the later ones are just not quite as good in my opinion.

Fighting games:

• BlazBlue: Fan who doesn't even own any of the games. It's a bit sad since I loved the few experiences I had playing CS.
• Guilty Gear: What made me stumble into BlazBlue. Anyway, both series are awesome.
• King of Fighters: By August 2012 only.
• Street Fighter IV: The game that actually made me acknowledge the Street Fighter series.
• Tekken: Fan since aged 6. First fighting game I ever played? Tekken 2.
• Touhou: I play the fighting games: Immaterial and Missing Power,Scarlet Weather Rhapsody and Unthinkable Natural Law.

Yoi Takarokugai

"Demon... Thou shalt perish."

• Antiquated Linguistics: Served to Junichi as the above quote.
• Badass Family: His was, being a wind-empowered bloodline... Or so he thought.
  • Big Screwed-Up Family: His was. Once the leader died, it took little time for the family to degenerate into civil war and die out.
  • The Family That Slays Together: All assassination missions are solo, but the family formed only assassins.
• Black Sheep: It's his job to kill those in his family.
• Blow You Away: His elemental affinity is wind. His Shot Type uses wind to move his enemies around.
• Blue and Orange Morality: In Junichi's Arcade, he points out that he decimated the Kinma because Gold Demons are still demons, and he hunts demons. Note that Junichi called his gang Kinma to steal money from his greedy rivals.
• Child Prodigy
• Demon Hunting: What he does for a living.
• The Dreaded: His mother tried to make Yoi fear Saki, saying that she would avenge her death and take Yoi's life. Needless to say, he killed her unflichingly, and years later, when he actually meets Saki, he justifiably isn't impressed.
• Family Unfriendly Death: Subverted in his kills, for which the screen blacks out and the victim isn't seen.
• Final Boss: He is, rather unsurprisingly, this to Kyoku, Junichi and Saki. He is also Nii's final opponent, but this was expectable as the Hero is a staple final opponent for the Big Bad of a game.
• Hero with an F in Good: He is the Demon Slaying hero, who can save Kyoto from the Majins! He's also a stoic assassin with absolutely no idea of good and almost no attachment to anything or anyone.
• Ineffectual Loner: Averted, Yoi is one of the most potent characters story-wise despite working alone (even if sometimes he comes to Rin's rescue).
• I Work Alone: Even after joining the Yosseidan, he continued his travelling and never set foot in Edo afterwards. Knowing all too well that he isn't liked by his "peers", he quits the group so Rin can't be called out on keeping him in.
• It Runs in the Family: He views himself as normal, alluding that all of his family was like him.
• Knight Templar: Sticks to his code of honor, namely the code of his family, not knowing it is corrupted.
• Light Is Not Good: Wears all white and uses light sometimes. Evil as a demon hunter can be.
• Meaningful Name: If I take care to note it, it's because his case is a delicious Double Subversion. Yoi means "good intention", but he's present to kill both his half-sisters. Though, his principles also impose him to fight the demons around to save the people, and he truly thinks he's right.
• Powered by a Forsaken Child: Subverted. He tried to infuse his actual sister's lifeforce into his sword when he impaled her with it, but since her elemental affinity was water and not wind, it wound up rusting his sword instead, weakening it. Despite this hindrance, Yoi keeps using it because it's so bloodstained that it reminds him of his mission every single second he holds it.
• Power of the Void: This is the ultimate extension of his power. His Scorching Attack, Seirinkyokaisho, basically disintegrates his enemies with this.
• Razor Wind: His Senpuken.
• Self-Made Orphan: He killed both his parents himself at age 13.
• Sinister Minister: Was this, when his clan was still alive.
• The Stoic
• Teeth-Clenched Teamwork: With Rin, even though he's the only one clenching the teeth. Not because of Rin herself, but because of the rest of the Yosseidan. He leaves anyway, because he's unable to act within the group dynamics.

Kyoku Hajiro

"Sounds like a lie. Fine, I'll beat more precise answers out of you."

• Arrogant Kung-Fu Guy
• Big Screwed-Up Family: His sister Shini is a pariah, and Kyoku is known to get along with only his adopted sister Genkai. The Hajiros are known to be prone to quarrelling much more than the bloodlines used to, making them not much a threat to the Jiyubudoka.
• Big "Shut Up!": To Yoi in the latter's arcade.
• Blue and Orange Morality: In Junichi's arcade.
  Junichi: "Being formal is part of who I am."
  Kyoku: "Whatever, I don't care. What I see is just someone of acceptable power."
• Demon Hunting: Has done this for a while. In his arcade, against Noriaki, he mentions having given up the job, but in his ending, he takes it back.
• Final Boss: Oddly enough, he is Noriaki's.
• Hair-Trigger Temper: Regarding Yoi. Also, he hates formalities.
• Handicapped Badass: He invoked it, by breaking his own leg before going to defeat Majins. Though, it wound up bad when he tried to hunt stronger demons.
• He Went That Way: Nii points him to Yoi in his arcade.
• I Did What I Had to Do: His general attitude towards fighting unless he truly feels involved. [[In Rin's arcade, when he loses, he tries to hightail it out of here after saying this.]]
• It's Personal: With Yoi, because he wound his pride. In Noriaki's arcade, he doesn't take it well that the man beat Yoi before he could.
• I Work Alone: Mostly. He still cooperates with Itami for their mutual interest but the two of them are mostly on their own.
• Punch Them Down While They Are Trying To Stay On Their Feet: Does this when he beats Yoi in his Arcade.
• Pet the Dog: Subverted in his arcade, against Shini. Sure, he doesn't want her to get killed, but only for the family's credibility.
• Pride: Wants to get his back by beating Yoi.
• Smug Super: Basically, he's known as the World's Strongest Man. No doubt he's arrogant, with very good reasons.
• Superpowered Evil Side: Some characters note that he has eaten Majins, and hinted that assimilating too many of them could result in Demonic Possession. In Itami's Downer Ending, her death results in him discarding the Majin energy (rejecting it all in one extremely powerful attack) for purer rage.
• Technicolor Fire: Black flames.
• The Only One Allowed to Defeat You: In his arcadde, when Noriaki proposes to help, his answer is "He's mine.".
• Unknown Rival: Is this to Yoi, who didn't even see him when he saved him.
• Years Too Early: Treats Shini as this.

Rin

"It's not a matter of dignity. It's a matter of dealing with evil."

• Aloof Ally: Yoi. He ends up leaving her anyway.
• Final Boss: She and Itami are this to each other.
• Incorruptible Pure Pureness: Sure has the looks for it, but in truth she's just one more symbol of human egoism in the series.
• It's Personal: Sort of. Itami and her have been rivals for a long while, but Rin is trying to push her mentality behind killing Itami towards her responsabilities as a demon hunter rather than killing her for personal purposes.
• Just Business: The mask for her reasons to be here.
• Knight Templar: Of sorts. Like Yoi, she would kill all sorts of demons, even figurative. One of her inner demons is the existence of her twin sister Itami.
• Making a Splash: Her main element is water.
• Precision F-Strike: Against Itami, she mutters: "Bitch." before the fight.
• Willfully Weak: In her arcade, when fighting Yoi, he asks her to cease holding back, because he knew she was this.

Yun Hayako

"I don't like to be followed, especially this blatantly."

• Blow You Away: Has a blood-inherited wind affinity.
• Chaotic Stupid: Shini describes him - and herself - as "just messing around, doing whatever they want". Wrongly so, Yun is clearly defined as Chaotic Good.
• Friend to All Children: Why else would a robber go out of his way to build an orphanage.
• Hypocrite: Calls all Jiyubudoka, notably Noriaki, this.
• Just Like Robin Hood: His activity, and how he built an orphanage. He struggles against an addiction to stealing money, and failing at it.
• Misunderstood Loner with a Heart of Gold: Not so much loner as he hangs out with Saki at times; but he's definitely mistaken as a serial egoistical robber despite actually funding an orphanage.
• Spinning Piledriver: His Senpujin Riki.
• This Is Unforgivable: In his arcade, he lectures Nii about their ways of making money by pillaging, genociding and trash-talking bloodlines.
• Willfully Weak: In his arcade, him and Noriaki ask each other to not hold back the next time they meet.

Itami

"The "Greater Good" and all that? It's never been my thing."

• Big "Shut Up!": Her Last Words in Rin's arcade.
• Bring It: No gesture, she just says that word for word to Asuka when she attempts to stop her.
• Chain Pain: Wields a kusarigama.
• Dynamic Entry: In her arcade, against Saki and Rin.
• Final Boss: She and Rin are this to each other.
• Hidden Depths: She's a murderously violent and hateful Yakuza. She still cares for Kyoku and knows light magic enough to notice he is assimilating Majins, and she's ready to exorcise the demons off of him. She also knows that he wants to defeat Yoi himself, so she merely captures him. She also knows that she passed the Point of No Return, and whether her or Rin dies, it's good.
  "Let's purify the world! Off with one of us, tonight!"
• Kill 'em All: Averted. She renounced to kill her family out of hatred, but she still is out for Rin's head.
• No Cure for Evil: In her ending, Kyoku notes that he's unable to heal her because his powers are flame and evil.
• The Power of Hate: Believes in it... except in her arcade's Downer Ending, in which she bails out Majins, just so Kyoku can fight Yoi undisturbed, resulting in her death.
• Say My Name: Deals this to Rin in her arcade.
• Self-Made Woman: Somewhat. Having been disinherited and kicked out at age 13, she had lost everything. She resurfaced two years later as her family and especially Rin's Arch-Enemy.
• Yakuza: Works with them since she was kicked out of her home at age 13.

Junichi Takanosan

"I am merely... a curious one."

• Apologetic Attacker: In his Arcade, when he punches Asuka to knockout, he says sorry.
• Battle Trophy: In Noriaki's arcade, he intends to defeat him and bring the cup as this.
• Blatant Lies: To Rin. His last line before engaging the fight is how he's not really the fighting type; and after the fight, he talks like what he is: a true (though recently-earned) blackbelt.
• Boom, Headshot: With his trademark firework-like magic, Delivered he kills Yoi in his arcade this way.
• Corrupt Corporate Executive: A feudal-Japanese version.
• Family Unfriendly Death: His arcade ending. Though his death isn't seen outright, he closes his eyes on a razed Kyoto covered in the Ludicrous Gibs of its inhabitants.
• Lethal Joke Character: Story-wise. He is rather goofy and weak for showing up at a tournament with the fate of a big city hanging in the balance. He still is the single S-Rank threat to the Jiyubudoka because he has a personal militia and could control or shut down any backstage action at will.
• Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: His arcade. He kills Yoi, avenging his men; and letting the hordes of Majins raze Kyoto in one Zerg Rush.
• Revenge: Against Yoi, for wrecking his "Kinma" gang while he was away on a business trip.
• To Be Lawful or Good: Asks himself this shortly while learning from Asuka that she impeded his plan. Basically, it was this: "Do I keep talking with Asuka because I'm her friend or do I beat her up for impeding my plan?" Of course, he chooses the second option, because he's not good to begin with.
  • Lawful Selfish?: The argument being this line of his to Rin:
  "Fighting from selflessness is senseless."
• What Is Evil?: In some fashion. In his arcade, when Rin points him out as evil, he answers this.
  "You are mistaken. I am just letting due payback come to someone."
• Years Too Early: In Noriaki's arcade, the man tells him to come back to him after four or five years.

Asuka

"There's no stopping you? [...] Then I will stop at nothing!"

• He Who Fights Monsters: Says this about both Rin and Itami. If the battle goes on, she will resort to kill both herself.
• Kick the Dog: Slaps Saki while lecturing her on her Suicidal Overconfidence.
• Lawful Stupid: Goes all it against Yun in her arcade. When Yun retorts that he's stealing to those who stole from his family - and other ones - she is left with nothing to say, only causing the fight due to her disgust of him.
• Murder Makes You Crazy: In her arcade. Killing Rin and Itami makes Asuka flip off for good to the point she's Driven to Suicide by madness and fear thereof.
• Odd Friendship: With Junichi.
• Only Sane Woman: The strain on her nerves is hard though, and the fact that she accepted to kill Rin and Itami if things go wrong might be a snap.
• The Stoic: The face she adopts towards the others.
  • Dissonant Serenity: When talking to her sisters, especially with Rin.

Saki

"I am Mother's revenge!"

• Ascend to a Higher Plane of Existence: In her Arcade, she lets her holy magic progressively possess her.
• Hair-Trigger Temper: In Itami's arcade, she starts a fight with little provocation. She is the one to start the fight against the worst example of Hair-Trigger Temper in the cast. Also, she gets excited fast against Yun and Yoi, though this last one isn't quite a case of Hair-Trigger Temper since It's Personal.
• Holier Than Thou: Serves this to almost everybody, Yun and Yoi.
• Invisibility Cloak: Used a seal to hide herself from sight in Asuka's Arcade, but failed to remain unseen.
• It Gets Easier: With sealing off instead of outright killing, but it's almost the same. She takes a while to succeed in sealing Kyoku, but preparing the seal for Nii takes less time so, and when she faces Yoi right after, she manages to appose the seal on the entire stage, and before the fight even begins.
• Joke Character: Story-wise, she's treated as such, even though she isn't the weakest in the tournament. She doesn't make any apparition in any arcade past stage 4.
  • Lethal Joke Character: Compare the arcades. She's the only one to meet the True Final Boss even if she doesn't meet the conditions to fight him. She dies of it, but still.
• Revenge Before Reason: She's getting herself in range fo Majins to kill Yoi.
• Years Too Early To Slay Demons: Itami tells her this in her arcade. When Saki points out Itami is only one year older than her, Itami explains that life has taught her to kill stuff.

Noriaki Hakamuro

"Time for you to learn to respect people without lineage!"

• Badass Normal: Much less gifts in magic than others, and no blood-inherited power. Can beat a good part of the cast fair and square. He has already stopped Yosseidan investigation teams - a dozen men trained in magic - all by himself.
• Blood Knight: Truly loves a good fight. In his arcade, he tells Junichi to come back after four or five years for another bout.
• Code Name: His family name, Hakamuro, has been invented by the Jiyubudoka.
• The Dragon: To Nii, at least for the truly-involved characters. He's actually The Brute.
• For Great Justice: Truly believes he's doing this by virtue of being with the Jiyubudoka, though this tends to fade in his arcade.
  "Unlike so many of you [demon slayers] and those [Jiyubudoka] out there, I truly fight for justice."
• Japanese Honorifics: His using of -san for Nii leads Yoi to believe that Nii is Noriaki's brother until Nii puts his foot down.
• Noble Demon: Big time. By affirming his presence as a Jiyubudoka and brutally beating several bloodliners to say Lamarck Was NOT Right, he earned himself intense hate from several of the old clans, Yun first. He knows that he's working with some bad guys, but he doesn't really care as long as he gets to tell his motto.
• Red Baron: Introduces himself as "The One Who Defeats Blood". Justified in that he's one man able to beat people with blood-inherited powers, but it doesn't really sound cool.
  • Junichi gives him the more Badass-sounding moniker "Bloodline Cutter".
• Skill Gate Character: Story-wise. He's working as a guard as well as fighting in the tournament, sending people investigating background packing... most of them.
• Spirited Competitor
• Years Too Early: Delivered by Yoi, when Noriaki stands up to him.
  "You're thinking way ahead of yourself, you demon-worshipping idiot."

Nii Dakara

"Everything's at its place."

• The Chessmaster: Plays this role. He manipulated demon hunters away from his zone of action by organizing the tournament in Kyoto, he baited Yun in too by promising a huge money reward as well, and getting everyone scared of Majins will take everyone's attention out of his personal plans.
• Chronic Backstabbing Disorder: In Noriaki's Arcade, he takes the head of the Jiyubudoka. How? Trapping Noriaki and the current leader in a formal meeting, and calling his men to kill Noriaki while he's killing the leader by impaling him via a spear through the throne.
• Code Name: His real name is unknown.
• The Dragon: He's this to the Jiyubudoka leader who organized the tournament.
  • Dragon with an Agenda: It's obvious that his motives are his only. Noriaki's arcade ending tells it all too well.
• Final Boss: To Yoi, Yun and Asuka so far.
• Manipulative Bastard: Though the idea behind him is that of a Magnificent Bastard, it's much too early for him to get coined as one.

"Okay, so I got in a land where one who wants to kidnap people plays card games!"

Tropes associated to "me":

• And I Must Scream: Undergoing spiriting away while conscious is described to be a very bad experience. Luckily there's a Time Skip that flashes forward to the time he lands in Gensokyo. It's partly covered in chapter 8's first flashback which explains his trail of thoughts. That wasn't pretty.
• Ass Pull: Invents new spells (and derivations thereof) almost everytime mid-action, taking everyone by surprise. One thought text is, unsurprisingly:
  Time to pull a new Spell Card out of my a**! (Yes, it's censored and actually spoken censored.)
• Badass Longcoat: Tries to play on this by wrapping vests around his waist, but in narration it's said to be a dubious taste.
• Butt Monkey: If he's considered a Gappy Stu, he's this to the ensemble.
  First, all Gappies get gapped in by Yukari. While it is true in his case, he had thrown himself into the Hakurei Border first and got his existence torn in several pieces before getting picked up and resting in non-piece in a gap for a Time Skip of unknown length.
  Then, his surviving body can't take easily the training Reimu, Marisa and Sanae give due to literal holes causing several hemorragies, resulting in (while Gappies get all-might) learning to barely float down slower.
  And when he finally leaves, he meets very few youkai (barely Suika and then Cirno cameoing) before finding his destination - the Scarlet Devil Mansion. He doesn't defeat Meiling (most Gappies would have), but gets a ticket in by getting blood sucked from him by Remilia. And for the overkill value, he gets burned by Flandre's danmaku and bleeds to death in Voile as the end of his life.
  • Anti-Gappy-Stu? After a rethinking time, he still survived much more than should be possible for a sickly human. Two weeks of rather intense or not (according to chapter 8's first flashback) training, a skirmish with Cirno (though she played into his hands by saying she would kill him in one hit), and then getting bitten by Remilia and scorched by Flandre's danmaku. And he died by the ensuing excessive bleeding, not by the deadly danmaku that preceded it.
• Brutal Honesty: When not abusing the Sarcasm Mode.
• Calling Your Attacks: "Fuck It!" is up to now the only one.
• Combat Pragmatist: Has disrespected the Spell Card Rules several times (mostly unknowingly), hoping his weakness and his being rather unknown will result in absence of punishment.
• Crazy Sane: The craziness is more or less honest, depending on the moment. Getting in Gensokyo definitely has taken a toll on his sanity, given what he went through.
• Drunk with Power: Even with extremely low power, he still has even more screws loose than before and goes outright outlandish.
• Deadpan Snarker / Stepford Snarker: Your Mileage May Vary
• Death Is Cheap: But it comes fast and rather painfully.
• Exact Words: In Chapter 8's second flashback sequence, Reimu owns him verbally on this, when he said he'd take every single considerable risk to fly. Except she refused because she would not take those risks and therefore not train him until she found a solution for his existence-slipping.
• Fire, Ice, Lightning: The first two are mainly visual motifs, with very low actual usage of such powers. His innate power is much more useful in using the third power, by manipulating electrical tension.
• First-Person Smartass: First chapter only. Afterwards, the narration got switched to third person due to my incompetence with first person. He's still sarcastic as all hell.
• Flip Flop of God: Is he truly me or not? Even I can't seem to know correctly what I want.
• Genre Savvy: Given that he's a self-insert and I had read the Universe Compendium before the official fiction start (July 22nd, 2011), he knows much more than he shows.
  • Dangerously Genre Savvy and Wrong Genre Savvy: Oscillation, but the taking ridiculous risks part is there. Death comes evidently less than a day after leaving. But being a ghost is actually like an instant powerup (not really instantly realized though; also, look up the Butt Monkey entry).
  • Also, murmuring to himself Flandre's name when faced with hesitation sparked interest (if also mefiance) in Meiling.
• Good Is Not Nice: Zig Zagged. Both the "good" and "not nice" parts are ambiguous.
• Gratuitous Japanese: It's more of a tendency to spout fake Japanese which ends up not being understood.
  • Though, the Spell Cards are partly named in Japanese in-narration.
• Heroes Prefer Swords: Somewhat: even with the ability to fire danmaku, he prefers to form a lightning bolt as a sword for several attacks.
• She's Mine: When he gets confronted by Nouwa at the Tower, after a first exchange of blows that turns to Nouwa's advantage, he growned this to urge Komachi and Youmu to go inside.
• I'm Having Soul Pains: Result of trying to experience a bit of craziness in order to use danmaku? Hitting a literal wall in his mind.
  • Before that, getting spirited away resulted in extreme amounts of this. Pain lasted until death. Given that he had several literal holes in his body according to chapter 8, it's only normal.
• Ineffectual Loner: Trying to go alone in Gensokyo isn't a good idea. And even though no wild youkai came for free lunch, every single fight opportunity is an occasion to get the lower end of the stick in a Curb-Stomp Battle.
• Izuna Drop: Landed one on Youmu as part of his last training.
• Joke Character: During the early parts of the story. Pre-death, all he can do is pick up his Spell Card Deck and hope for the best. Post-death, despite getting some power, is not much better.
  • Lethal Joke Character: Come Chapter 6 interlude 6 and when when Youmu asks him to go full power, he corners Youmu by activating Reibaku ignoring its defensive condition. But she still protected herself from the attack string. And when she sees a more dangerous attack coming, she instantly retaliates like the opening had been humungous.
• Kamehame Hadoken: Fired twice a big electric laser beam. Trust my Word Of God for it, it's based off Justice's Gamma Ray.
• Leeroy Jenkins: In chapter 8's flashback, he outright mentioned to himself having had an approach akin to Leeroy in order to fly, because he needed to ignore all sorts of knowledge to do so.
• Limit Break: Reibaku is so far his single Spell Card.
  • But a literal one was breaking Reibaku's defensive condition in using it in a derivate method. This was somewhat lampshaded by the declaration, even though, by Spell Card Rules, it's outright cheating.
  "Akuten Nishiki - Reibaku" *

  Translates to "Bad Atmosphery, Method 2 - Spiritual Bind".
• Madness Mantra / Survival Mantra: Two of them, both covered in chapter 8's flashbacks. While both are definitely Madness Mantras, he did both in order to maintain his existence.
  • The first was while he was "resting" in The Nothing After Death, asking to himself, each time more desperately:
  "Why would gods you pray for inflict such a treatment to a new prayer? Why? Why?"
  • The second instance of it was, shortly after arriving in Gensokyo, when the training begins. When he finally elevates himself mid-air, he momentarily feels his unstable existence slipping into oblivion again and starts shouting like crazy:
  "Not again! Not again! Not again!!!"
• Not Even Bothering with an Excuse: To not say goodbye to Marisa and Sanae, when time comes to leave the Hakurei Shrine. He says goodbye to Reimu and that's it.
• Our Ghosts Are Different: Now we have a Deadpan Snarker Psycho Electro ghost who wears three vests, two around the waist.
• Precision F-Strike: "Fuck it!" A Shout Out to Guilty Gear, namely Order Sol's "Rock it!". Noticeable in that it's said in straight English compared to the fic being written in French, and that like its inspiration, it's the name of an attack. First used in a (failed) attempt at a Talk to the Fist.
• Reluctant Psycho: At least not really lucid.
• Roses are Red, Violets are Blue: Tried to be a Warrior Poet and mused to himself (before going to maul Chiyuri) this poem:
  "Roses are red,
  Violets are blue.
  I am already dead,
  and so are you."
• Sarcasm Mode: On-and-off.
• Shock and Awe: Misuse of the power of using tension first manifested by sparks surrounding the body. Even while running under high tension, he looks like a shooting electric arrow.
• Shout Out:
  • See Precision F-Strike.
  • In a bonus chapter, I mobilize most characters of Gensokyo for a harmless card game. The game itself is one to trading card games in general, especially ''Yu-Gi-Oh!'' and Magic: The Gathering, which I both played. The title of that bonus chapter? "It's just a card game."
  • When asked what if it felt weird to return to the world of the living, his answer is:
  "Meh, it's more boring than weird. Changing worlds once two weeks passes annoys me unless I end up in World 8-4, kicking some dragon's butt so all that stuff ends..."
• Standard Status Effects: Bad Atmosphery: Reibaku inflicts paralysis, somewhat.
• Stronger With Age: And being here for two weeks means being barely able to trade hits with Cirno.
  • Downplayed Trope in that he still traded with her Ice Cube: Great Crusher, her most powerful Spell Card from Touhou Hisoutensoku.
    • Zig Zagged: Breaking the Great Crusher by punching it only resulted in more pain, directly and indirectly.
• Take That Me: A sort of. Musou Note n°3 has the self-insert mocking Reimu's joy over Luke's return. Me (as the author) answers "Shut up, me."
• The One Guy: Averted. Despite the rarity of guys, given my friends' fan fics are considered canon in this one, there is actually a handful of guys existing in Gensokyo. Still, that makes 4 guys, and most PC-98 characters returning and a dozen of O Cs coming means that it's 5-on-over-100.
• The Power of Friendship: Very very low opinion on this. Cue Eiki cutting the sentence short.
  "And the Power of Friendship is sh-." *whack*
• The Power of Hate: He and Nouwa have real bad blood together.
• This Is Me On Drugs: Rather, how I was on 7/22/2011 on drugs. I've changed a bit since then, especially about my unfriendly disposition.
• Training from Hell: Two weeks with Reimu, Sanae and Marisa. It results in learning to fall slower than normally. Results in unknowingly becoming able to fly when dying and becoming a ghost, obtaining a youkai power in the process.
• Ungrateful Bastard: His running away from the Hakurei Shrine. Reimu got the thanks, but it's quickly revealed that Marisa was the most involved one in his training.
• Wangst: Angsts a deal. He himself notices.
  "Optimism? It's been shattered when I came here..."
• Weak, but Skilled: Usually able to think and maintain an excuse for self-control, but too snarky to believe in the existence of his own powers. It means he can't use them to full extent since his own will acts unconsciously against it.
  • Unskilled, but Strong: Chapter 6, interlude 6. When focusing only on not thinking and using the power that he has, he can reach Power Levels way above what shown previously. But for that he has to hold back the thinking.
• What Kind of Lame Power Is Heart, Anyway?: Could quote the trope! Also, being barely able to fly without utterly concentrating makes him a ground-based fighter, really weak in general.
• You Can't Go Home Again: Has never displayed the flimsiest of hopes for returning, given what he went through.

"The world - no - the whole universe is turning around him, or what! Screw you all!!"

said just before attacking Reimu

Tropes associated with Nouwa:

• A Chapter In The Limelight: Chapter four is focused on her.
• Alto Villainess: She looks very mannish, and the voice is outright said to be alto. Given that she's born from a male spirit, it maybe had some influence.
• Battle Aura: Has 2 kinds: Her white phantom-like one, and her red one made of sheer hate.
• Butt Monkey: Might appear as this before her return in Chapter 6: Her first fight (against the Author Avatar) ends up with her taking a miracle Reibaku and seeing my Author Avatar run even though she wiped the floor with him when he tried to run. Then she picks up fights against Remilia (with Marisa) and Reimu, who leaves Shingyoku to take care of her. She lost every single fight in the end. Her first victory comes begin chapter 7, against the Author Avatar.
• Cessation Of Existence: She implies that once she's done killing the Author Avatar, she'll do this, but Chen disagrees.
• Evil vs. Evil: Takes her matches against the Author Avatar as this.
• From Nobody to Nightmare: Chapter 6, interlude 1. She is freed from Shingyoku's seal and Came Back Strong. She has enough power to break Mima's seal (which was mentioned to be the biggest and strongest one) in one shot, and then pull a One-Hit KO on a terrified Shingyoku (Though, it must have helped that Shingyoku was terrified by Mima and not her, leading to its male form taking the attack without even trying to defend himself.
• Hates Everyone Equally: Almost. She hates the Author Avatar more, and Marisa a good chunk less.
• Kill 'em All: She mentions once, when talking with Yukari, that she "already killed them all but him". Who "them" refers to is still a mystery, though.
• Rage Against the Heavens: When she notices people are focusing on Hakugyokurou on suspect about the Author Avatar's presence (just a guess, but she knew it was highly probable), she decides to attack Reimu, while initially she decided not to.
• Screw This, I'm Outta Here: Inverted, see Rage Against the Heavens.
  She could as well have said: "Screw This, I'm Attacking You! LEEROOOOOOOOY JEEEENKIIINS!"
• Shadow Archetype: She is an ikiryo, a spirit created out of a living human's will. She made it clear that she has been created by the Author Avatar's hate of everything and suicidal desires.
• Shock and Awe: Had it before coming back. She strangely mentioned not having the same powers as before immediately upon returning.
• Miss Swears A Lot: She has extremely rough, mannish speech patterns.
• The Power of Hate: She lives by it, being an ikiryo/raging spirit created out of general frustration. It is easily seeable in her ability to use violence as Pure Energy. And also her Status Buff Seal of Hatred amps it up.

"Whatever Reimu wants... Reimu wants it."

Tropes associated with Luke:

• Combat Medic: He is highly skilled in medicals as a result to studying in Eientei. If he has the appropriate healing tools, of course; he doesn't use any supernatural healing gift, but ordinary medicine.
• Extra Ore Dinary: Has the power to manipulate iron. And he can be extremely destructive with it as well.
• Leitmotif: Ironheart, though it's not used yet because he still hasn't taken part in serious battle action.
• Made of Iron: He survived nasty injuries, such as being shot three times, and being burned in the back by a white-hot iron marker, resulting in the kanji burnmark he has on his back that marks him as an evil spirit, thing he is not.
• Martial Pacifist: He tries to resolve every conflict the non-violent way (because it would be unfair to count on strength for everything (Reimu's Fantasy Heaven being an instant ticket for victory), but he does take part in battles if he ever meets refusal in his non-violence offers.
• Reckless Pacifist: In his own fiction, Luke tried extreme measures to stop some persons in their maniacal schemes. Including an extremely dangerous technique that razed everything in a one-kilometer-radius sphere.
• The Reliable One: For Reimu's every problem, she can count on him. Whenever she does have problem, the most common one being anger management.
• Sanity Ball: Is the one carrying it, as in "he's the only one keeping his composure in all the events that have been happening".
• Thou Shalt Not Kill: Definitely part of his usual attitude. He only uses his Dangerous Forbidden Technique against people that force him to resort to this.

Tropes associated with Dondeo:

• Blow You Away: The power of manipulating air.
• Dark and Troubled Past: Arrived in Gensokyo with heavy burns and Laser-Guided Amnesia.
• The Quiet One: Keeps his calm and self-control in every situation, even moreso than Luke.
• Really Gets Around: Has many relations in the Scarlet Devil Mansion, the Eientei, and Youkai Mountain.
• Weirdness Magnet: Despite him being the most serious and flat-earth character in the fic, he's this. His relationship with Sakuya lead to Remilia visiting the Human Village more frequently because she always wants to make sure he takes a great deal of care to her favourite maid, and this has not gone unnoticed.

"I'm just a wandering bird, looking for a home."

• Badass Teacher
• Felony Misdemeanor: Invoking this by smashing all Gensokyo-surveillance drones she can find so she can find who's behind this.
• Miss Exposition: Had to play this for a short while regarding her explanation on Mubana Academy.
• Oh Crap: Yumemi is after her.
• The Power of the Sun: Implied in her so-far-only spellcard:
  "Light: Solar Ray"
• Winged Humanoid: She's a bird youkai with four white wings to boot.

Tropes associated with Eri:

• Hime Cut
• Power Levels: Did attribute vague power assessments. Nothing of the likes of numbers, though.
• Yamato Nadeshiko: Though she broke out of the traditional calm exterior in front of her now-escaped doll's image.
• You Gotta Have Green Hair

Tropes associated with Sae:

• Attention Deficit... Ooh, Shiny!: Eri mentions that she's gone in and out of Mubana Academy solely out of curiosity.
• Cat Girl: Nekomata.
• Youkai: Same.

Tropes associated with Shumi:

• Fiery Redhead
• Irony: When Luke hit her into the Misty Lake? It was her fault, because her presence vaporized more water around her, thickening the mist and resulting in the collision.
• Playing with Fire
  • Elemental Rock-Paper-Scissors: When Luke hits her into the Misty Lake by mistake, she gets out of water a crying mess, barely able to do anything else. She is this weak to water.

Tropes associated with Sayuri:

• Blush Sticker: In the most literal meaning of the term.
• No Name Given: For now, her name has never been mentioned. In fact, she has not given her name to anybody, because she never had a name before, being just a doll.
• Power Levels: Eri assesses she's more potent than Sae or Shumi.

Tropes associated with Mariko:

• Arm Cannon: Carries around some protective gear that allows her to focus her firepower even more.
• Cute Little Fangs
• Glass Cannon: It's said she focuses on her sheer firepower.
• Our Vampires Are Different
• Your Vampires Suck: Averted. She's extremely weak to sunlight, which shines everywhere at Mubana Academy (the scenery is made of lots of glass). She left in a quest for dark sceneries.

Tropes associated with Fumu:

• Cats Are Snarkers / Cats Are Mean: She was noted for having an abrasive attitude.
• Cute Bruiser: In a Cute 'em Up setting as Touhou, any girl can be assumed to be cute. And she was, physically-speaking the strongest girl in the Academy.
• Hair-Trigger Temper: Eri suggests she has it.
• Meaningful Name: Kogami means "tiger bite". She has more than one bite, though.
• No Social Skills: Eri suspects she's the instigator of the dropouts, because she's pretty much still wild.

Captain: Kuuki Kishitsu

Other members: Shadou Koukyu, Honbuki Houka

Tropes associated with the team:

• Mighty Glacier / The Brute: The whole team is composed of some of the heaviest persons, fighting-wise. Koukyu is by a good margin the least power-oriented fighter of the three.
• Villain Protagonist: By virtue of siding with the Operation G, and being supervised by Niki. Otherwise...
  • Anti-Villain: ... they are usually nice guys, except for their crippling personal issues.

Tropes associated with Kuuki:

• Blood Knight: He enjoys generally the fighting itself, though he doesn't enjoy the potential harsh consequences.
• Brains and Brawn: With the rest of his team. Even though he's far from weak, it's fairly obvious which side is which.
• Bruiser with a Soft Center: Mostly a Nice Guy, but he can kick ass if need arises.
• Genius Bruiser
• Gentle Giant: In contrast to the rest of the team. Just don't say anything bad regarding Niki or you will Talk to the Fist.
• I Love Nuclear Power: He could say literally the phrase.
• Meteor Move: Goumariki, with him as part of the meteor.
• Multicolored Hair: All the time.
• My Master, Right or Wrong: Niki saved his life from errance and starvation, and for this reason Kuuki is devoted to Niki to his last breath.
• Real Men Wear Pink: Even his hair has a pink hue.
• Red Oni, Blue Oni: Be it to Koukyu or Houka, he's always the Blue Oni.
• Shock and Awe
• Stuff Blowing Up: His Ultimate, Meteor Piledriver, makes an explosion at impact.
• Use Your Head: More likely to think, but he uses a headbutt as an easy throw.
• White-Haired Pretty Boy: Not a Bishōnen, but he isn't ugly at all.
• Wrestler in All of Us: Uses several wrestling moves. Powerbombs, powerslams and piledrivers are commonplace with this guy.

Tropes associated with Koukyu:

• Acrofatic: Despite being rather heavy, he usually wears clothes that hide his fat. Also, he isn't absurdly fat (93 kg for 1.85 m) and he has power-oriented moves.
• Ambiguously Brown: His second outfit has him with an obscure tan.
• Big Brother Instinct: Sorta, towards Houka.
• Boisterous Bruiser
• Cool Shades: His second outfit, again.
• Fingerless Gloves
• Formerly Fat
• Heavy Sleeper
• Hell-Bent for Leather: His second outfit. He suggests the same fashion to Houka and she runs with it too. Kuuki's comment:
  "You're making yourselves look like goth band rejects."
• Hot Blooded
• Jerkass Façade: Has one, really spicy, for those who want to dig into his motives.
• Rapid Fire Fisticuffs
• Rule Of Cool: Runs after it.
• Spin Attack: Rarely indulges into this contrary to what could be. When he does... He does it For Massive Damage!
• Unskilled, but Strong: Has little knowledge of magic, even less than Houka. Therefore, he is unable to maintain wind currents, rather relying on sudden shockwaves.

Tropes associated with Houka:

• Alcohol Induced Idiocy: She drinks a lot and she's definitely not the smartest of the load. She's not The Ditz though.
• Beware the Nice Ones: Essentially nice, but she packs a wallop.
  • Her frustration also lead to the start of the story, with her as the bad guy.
• Booze Flamethrower: Subverted. She drinks often and breathes fire, but it's fire magic and she doesn't ignite alcohol.
• Bottle Fairy: She loves drinking, but that makes her performances unreliable at best.
• Confusion Fu
• Creepy Child: Much older than the norm, but looks the part.
• Cute Bruiser
• Drunken Master
• Fire Breathing Diner: One of her trademark moves involve spewing out fire.
• Friend to All Children: She's an orphan, so she has a soft spot for abandoned children.
• Hard Drinking Party Girl: Her Fatal Flaw, aside from wrath. She looks underage, so Kuuki and Koukyu try to avoid giving her too much because of potential controversy.
• Hell-Bent for Leather: Her 2P costume. Thank you Koukyu.
• Kick Them While They Are Down: Her Super move Zanki Taikuuken looks like it since she hammers the ground with both hands. It results in a massive flame spike surging from the impact point.
• Little Miss Badass: Again, not really this little.
• Meaningful Name: Houka's name is a homophone for voluntary arson.
• Mighty Glacier: She cannot move around fast. Sure she can dodge and all, but she's nearly as bad as Kuuki when it comes to strolling across an arena. She is also really powerful not only in physical power, but in magic as well. Her innate brutal force is what compelled Mashin to clone her.
• Playing Drunk: When fighting. Her fighting style is being a Drunken Master. Sometimes she really is drunk, though.
• Rage Quit > Face Heel Turn: Essentially, the beginning of the story. Houka runs away from Akina's group of disciples and is then tricked by Niki into joining Kuuki.
• Saying Sound Effects Out Loud
• Super Strength: So far her only use of magic. She learns to make explosions, and then volcanos.
• Unskilled, but Strong
• Wrestler in All of Us: Under Kuuki's tutoring, she invents the Houka Buster, which is essentially a jumping Rock Bottom, with one arm spin added for good measure.
• Youkai Motifs: Oni. Demonic undertones? Check. Loves sake? Check. Enormous physical strength? Compared to the other girls, check.

Captain: Shiro Kokuu

Other members: Karyu Nantogan, Tenko Sanjou

Tropes associated with the team:

• Child Prodigy: All three members were examples, to an extent. Shiro having a power-nullifying natural gift, Karyu for being so proficient at Taek Won Do, and Tenko being just a self-taught fighting prodigy who wins many fights with no actual fighting training.
• Hero Antagonist: In contrast to Team Ougoku, they look and act the part of a hero, except that they are against Operation G.
• The Rival: Shiro is Kuuki's, Karyu is Koukyu's and Tenko is Houka's.

Tropes associated with Shiro:

• Badass Longhair
• Counter Attack: He's renowned for those.
• Guttural Growler
• Light 'em Up
• Jerk with a Heart of Gold
• Man in White
• Mighty Glacier: He hits hard and is magic is powerful enough to nullify or counteract anybody else's. Though, he is really slow; though since he usually confronted Kuuki and his equally low speed, he said he was a Lightning Bruiser.
• Power Nullifier: His shields break all sorts of magic.
• The Quiet One: Usually leaves the speaking and badass boasting to Karyu and Tenko.
  • Beware the Quiet Ones: He kicks more ass than his teammates.
• Smug Super
• The Stoic
• White-Haired Pretty Boy: Tints his hair silver. If not tinted, his hair is a pale, dirty blonde.
• White Mask of Doom: He has one, and he likes to wear it because of his passion for theater, but it obscures his vision; so of course he never wears it in actual bouts.

Tropes associated with Karyu:

Expy of Street Fighter's Ken Masters.

• Bring It: He likes taunting and being flashy, but this one is his favourite.
• But Not Too Foreign: Averted. He's born 100% American, but eventually came to live in Japan.
• Composite Character: He had a lot of different educations. By now he has traits of his own childish bratty persona, his parents' American fighter mentality, his rival Seino's rigorousness in fighting, and his Korean master's Taekwondo For Great Justice mindset.
• Extremity Extremist: Unless doing the "basic stuff", Karyu's fighting style is Taek Won Do, so he mostly attacks with kicks. He still can - and will - punch if he needs though.
• The Four Gods: Notices these strange vibes when he sees Seino and Akira.
  "Okay, did you guys bring a Genbu too?"
• Handsome Lech: Sort of since he's still young, but definitely heading into this.
• Hot Blooded: Karyu is a name he made up. Fittingly enough.
• Hurricane Kick: No, he doesn't fly.
• Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Not really assholish, but his taunting and braggish attitude can tick off more than one person.
• Lonely Rich Kid: The start of everything that happened in his life. He felt lonely, so he decided to annoy other people to get noticed. This got him sent in Korea for reeducation, where he grew his heart of gold and his fighting skills.
• Mr. Vice Guy: In a way. He likes money, women, and getting in a good brawl.
• Playing with Fire
• The Rival: He has loads of them. Koukyu, Seino, name your choice.
• Shoryuken: Has one, evidently.

Tropes associated with Tenko:

• Badass Bookworm: Mid-Heroic BSOD, she started reading because she thought about not being able to fight at high levels anymore. Even after it, she still tries to be a Badass Bookworm, but just fails to understand books, because she has been skipping lessons all her childhood. Her failings are Played for Laughs.
  • Cute Bookworm: Same failure as a bookworm, but you can consider her cute.
• Berserk Button: If you ever try to undermine her Smug Super boasting. Yes, even post-Heroic BSOD.
• Dishing Out Dirt
• Doppelgänger Attack: Her Mahouken Geneizan.
• Dumb Blonde: Part of her hair is blonde.
• For the Lulz: Her life with her secluded family felt so boring that she felt the need to drop out of her house.
• Jerkass: Of sorts. Since she has been labeled a prodigy by her master, she's arrogant when it comes to fighting. Even Karyu says it's exaggerated, and of course she won't listen to anyone who can't beat her, unless Shiro and Karyu both tell her to shut up. Until her Heroic BSOD, that is.
• Just a Kid: She behaves like a child despite being 16, for the sole reason that her parents neglected her education and left her upbringing to others. Also, she did drop out of her house several times and she has a penchant for skipping her home lessons.
• One-Winged Angel: Has one such form, but usually refuses to use it because it's ugly.
• Playing with Fire: Kintou has a sword of Hard Light. She has sword motifs too, but her magic sword is made of magical densified fire.
• Smug Super: She rarely ever lost a match for a good portion of the plot, which made her Insufferable Genius attitude worse and worse with the passage of time. She gets given several attitude adjustments that greatly diminished her ego.

Captain: Rikuto Yoshimoto

Other members: Torou Teisou, Keiko Seichi

Tropes associated with the team:

• The Big Guy: Except Rikuto - who's no slouch in this domain either - the team is composed of the heaviest hitters in their side. Also, they are the Mighty Glacier type, except Rikuto.
• Not So Harmless Hero Antagonist: While Gontorou and Keiko look serious, Rikuto's gests caused Team Ougoku to dismiss them as a real threat. And then, Rikuto pops up backstage and - unhindered by anything - attacks Touma directly. This leads to Touma getting punched out of the building.

Tropes associated with Rikuto:

• Animal Motifs: The wolf. Mildly, like his inspiration.
• Boisterous Bruiser: Of sorts.
• Child Prodigy: Defied this trope in order to not be noticed. In his refusal to be a mediatic figure, Rikuto kept holding back on the road to power.
• Combat Pragmatist: More "tactician pragmatist". He assumes the façade of a Boisterous Weakling to totally fool Team Konryuu and get right at Touma's face unhindered.
• Giving Someone the Pointer Finger: With Death Glare, When Team Ougoku escapes right after "burying" Touma.
• Gratuitous English: Invokes this because "it sounds different". And he's born in America.
• Ground Pound
• Hot Blooded
• Justice Will Prevail: His general trail of thought.
• Ki Attacks: His only notable long-range moves. He maintains his attacks because they're ground-bound.
• Milking the Giant Cow: In general, his moves are extremely visible due to him making huge gestures. Even though this results in him being rather predictable and easy to tire out, he prefers to keep going because he takes much momentum in his gests, and it hits hard while being endearing to watch.
• Sins of Our Fathers: Pursuing Touma because Touma's grandpa killed his dad.
• Technician Versus Performer: In regards to his brother, or his team partner Torou, he's the Performer, both of them being technicians compared to him.

Tropes associated with Torou:

• Badass Arm Fold: Adopts this whenever he needs to feel threatening.
• The Big Guy: He's the biggest guy around. Even bigger than Kuuki.
• Cool Mask: His 2P outfit has him as a Masked Luchador.
• Emotional Bruiser
• Fingerless Gloves
• Flash Step: A slower and shorter one than a Fragile Speedster would do, but it's there.
• Gentle Giant
• Mentor: He mentors Rikuto, his own team leader, in fighting.
• Mighty Glacier: He defies this trope, but succeeds only halway in doing so: while he is faster than one would expect for such a muscle mass, he cannot truly escape being rather slow.
• Nice Guy
• Odd Friendship: With fellow "kinda-wrestler" Rigan. They wrestled each other more than once before the story. What's funnier is that he doesn't know that Rigan and Rikuto are brothers, because he doesn't know Rigan's name.
• The Paragon Always Rebels: Eldest son (Setsuna is older than him though.) of the head of Operation G, yet he is against it.
• The Quiet One: Normally. He is much more mature than his age suggests.

Tropes associated with Keiko:

• Angst: She asks herself why her brothers work for the Operation G staff, because this makes them her enemies.
• Badass Normal: Her level in magic is abysmally low, yet she's as capable as the other girls, perhaps moreso, despite being a rookie.
• Combat Pragmatist: Has taken this approach in order to be as strong as her brothers.
• Cute Bruiser: This is a total opposite of her brothers. While Seino and Tsuyoshi are known for their gifts in using magic (namely fireballs), she's at her best up close and personal.
• Determinator: She can receive far more punishment than other girls. As well, she's absurdly insistent in looking for Seino, and comes back like a boomerang when Akira and Setsuna send her buzzing off.
• Flash Step: She aids herself with earth magic. That's pretty much the only magic stuff she can do, actually.
• Hot Blooded
• Martial Arts Headband
• Perpetual Frowner: She's definitely angsty about her brothers leaving and herself never being aided in leaving her family house. She has her few smiling moments, but that's for her teammates only.
• Rapid Fire Fisticuffs
• Super Strength: She trained hard to have this.
• Tomboy

Captain: Seino Seichi

Other members: Akira Ii, Setsuna Teisou

Tropes associated with the team:

• Screw the Rules, I Have Money! / Screw the Rules, I Have Connections!: Team Konryuu usually diverges from the plans of their partner teams, because they can get away with it.
• Skill Gate Characters: Seino and Setsuna place the Skill Gate rather high for the Hero Antagonist teams when it comes to fighting. When fighting in front, at least.

Tropes associated with Seino:

• Bash Brothers: To a degree, with Akira.
• Blood Knight: The guy has been fighting and perfecting his style for the whole of his life, but with Tsuyoshi's "training" he fears about taking it too far.
• Blue Oni: To Akira's Red.
• Does Not Like Shoes
• Energy Ball: He has a variety of those, charged with fire or electricity.
• Glass Cannon
• He Who Fights Monsters: He's afraid of fighting his Aloof Big Brother Tsuyoshi because he fears that he may become too enthusiastic in fighting. When he reconciles with his family after being defeated, he succumbs to it in one way.
• Kamehame Hadoken: He is somewhat specialized in his fireball moves, though his Ultimate looks like he's channelling Justice's Gamma Ray rather than Ryu's fireballs.
• No Social Skills: He doesn't know much outside of fighting. And he's running away from his younger sister Keiko because he doesn't want her to find out that he doesn't really so much as know her.
• Not Himself: What he thinks Tsuyoshi wants him to be.
• The Quiet One
• Rival Turned Evil: Karyu thinks of him as that. Seino is much more pragmatic.
• The Stoic
• Tiger Versus Dragon: He invokes this with Akira, him as the Dragon.

Tropes associated with Akira:

• Action Fashionista: Of sorts: he has an iconic outfit, but it is classy.
• Animal Motifs: The tiger. Long story short, he picked it up after Seino named his moves after dragons, and suggested him Theme Naming.
• Affably Evil: He gives a bit of his wealth to his coach to help finance Operation G, yet he is friendly to almost everybody. He even dates Keiko, though this only leads to her using him to get information on the team, leading to Rikuto taking Touma by surprise.
• Badass Longhair
• Braids of Action: Sometimes.
• Death from Above: His Ultimate, White Tiger's Silver Arrow.
• Dynamic Entry
• Energy Ball: Fires some, but is not as gifted as Seino in this regard.
• Extremity Extremist: He kicks really much, only using his hands for magic and simple moves. Or his Tiger Claw.
• Flash Step: Subverted; while he's usually very fast on his feet, he doesn't have one.
• Ki Attacks
• Long-Haired Pretty Boy
• Oh Crap When he runs to Touma's rescue after Seino and Setsuna are ambushed by Torou and Keiko, he runs into Hakkou. Cue Curb-Stomp Battle.
• Rich Idiot with No Day Job: Double Subverted somewhat, since he doesn't really have access to his rich father's estate. He has only his pocket money, but he's rich enough to have stopped school.
• Ship Tease: Has asked Keiko on a date and she accepted. Though, she did so only to get him to talk about Seino, and a date-peeping Setsuna didn't help to appease the tension.
• Spam Attack: His Tiger Claw is basically Rapid Fire Fisticuffs.
• Technical Pacifist: He disagrees with the orders Touma has been given to investigate the Operation G staff's enemies, because he'd rather stay out of his enemies' faces. Rightfully so, when he realizes Rikuto pulled a New Face Team on Team Konryuu and Keiko and Torou are blocking the path to his teammates, leaving him alone to try and save Touma.

Tropes associated with Setsuna:

• Action Girl: Stands out even amongst other girls in that she can take out the guys. She packs enough power to take out Torou!
• Attack Reflector: More like "deflector", but she's able to create ice barriers.
• Boobs of Steel: Justified: she's one of the oldest girls in the cast. Since the younger ones are 16 and she's 20, the difference in breast size and experience is noticeable. She's the strongest girl in the cast, bar the usually older and more experienced background characters.
• Counter Attack: Not really, but her Dream Freeze lets her dodge attacks and Flash Step behind the opponent to attack.
• Date Peepers: Spies on Akira's date with Keiko so he doesn't talk too much.
• Everything's Better with Sparkles
• Fiery Redhead: Averted. She's a redhead, still, but fitting with her powers rather than her hair, she's An Ice Person.
• Flung Clothing: Whenever pitted against Torou or Kintou, as a sign she isn't holding anything back on her brothers. And it's reciprocal, as a family tradition.
• Iron Lady: Despite not actually ruling anyone.
• Human Popsicle: The tip of the iceberg when it comes to her abilities.
• I Have Brothers: Ten of them, and she's been raised in fighting by being pitted against them.
• Ice Queen: Not defrosting anytime soon.
• Jerkass Façade: Compared to girls, she can be unusually rough in her speech. She's been raised with dudes.
• Lady of War
• Perpetual Frowner
• Smug Super: Emphasis on super. She's much more experienced and powerful than most of her opponents, and as smug as befits her power.
• The Stoic

Captain: Fuushi Zanjima

Other members: Shakurou Kokuu, Izumi Umigiri

Tropes associated with the team:

• Anti-Hero Antagonist: Not that obvious with The Ditz Izumi, but Fuushi and Shakurou give quite the Good Is Not Nice and Jerk with a Heart of Gold vibes respectively. And since they are the antagonists, they are blurring the line between good and evil when compared to Anti-Villain Protagonist Team Jundou.
• Badass Biker: The three usually travel with motorbikes.
• Fire, Ice, Lightning: Shakurou's Playing with Fire, Izumi is An Ice Person and Fuushi has Shock and Awe.
• Vitriolic Best Buds: The guys on a side and Izumi on the other one.

Tropes associated with Fuushi:

• Abusive Parents: Natsuki gave him harsh treatments that made it all the harder to keep training. He went the Determinator way through that.
• Anti-Hero: Type III.
• Berserk Button: Don't talk about his family.
• Bigger Is Better: He has a super version of his uppercut move where he spins and jumps for additional momentum.
• Calling The Old Hag Out: His general objective towards Natsuki.
• Flash Step: His Ultimate has him apparently punch through the opponent.
• Gone Horribly Right: See Abusive Parents. Sure, Natsuki beat the tar out of him without him having the right to hit her back; but he resisted and managed to train, giving him a battle-hardened body and mind that clearly surpasses his half-brother's.
• It's All About Me: To a degree. He still considers whatever his team needs, but he doesn't give anything about the rest of the anti-Operation-G teams.
• Megaton Punch: His most powerful moves are essentially this.
• Missing Mom: She died by childbirth when Fuushi was born, leading to his dad quickly finding a new wife... Then, it went From Bad to Worse.
• Not So Different: He is as ruthless and uncaring as his mother. He isn't glad when she points this out.
• Psycho Electro
• Red Eyes, Take Warning
• Rogue Protagonist

Tropes associated with Shakurou:

• Anti-Hero: Exact same deal as Fuushi. There's a reason they get along.
• Bad Powers, Good People: Uses dark and fire magic for Fire and Brimstone Hell effect. Good Is Not Nice, but he's good nonetheless.
• Bring My Red Jacket: Wears a red jacket pretty much all the time. Cue his younger brother Aoshi's Dangerous Sixteenth Birthday. It was not dangerous for Aoshi, but for him because Aoshi impaled his arm with an ice shard.
• Can't Go Back To Normal: Even after dealing with Aoshi, he can't adapt to a normal lifestyle or take school again. He doesn't know what to do with his screwed life by then.
• Dark Is Not Evil, but Good Is Not Nice, and Dark Is Edgy.
• Fragile Speedster: To a degree.
• Ground Pound: Kick-based version in his Soul-eater Axe.
• Kick Them While They Are Down
• Perpetual Frowner
• Playing with Fire: Double Subverted. He frequently uses flame-like dark magic, but that isn't fire. He still has fire magic to speak of, but he uses it so rarely that it's generally a surprise.
• Red Oni: To both his brothers' blue.
  • Hidden Depths: Deep inside, he's in fact the Blue Oni to Aoshi's Red.
• Sir Swears-a-Lot: Not that much, but bringing up Aoshi is enough.
• Teeth-Clenched Teamwork: With Shiro, they keep Team Kokujin and Team Mugen synchronized to act against the Operation G staff, though they are pretty spiteful to each other.
• Trademark Favourite Food: Meat.
• White-Haired Pretty Boy
• Wouldn't Hit a Girl: Less than Aoshi. His reluctance doesn't hinder him the very least bit when in competition.

Tropes associated with Izumi:

• An Ice Person: Not that much in terms of behaviour, she's in fact Hot Blooded and nicer than her teammates - if you don't make her angry.
• Berserk Button: Don't call her a "Baka!".
• Cell Phone: Makes extensive usage of hers.
• The Ditz
• Dye Hard: Has strands of blue hair.
• Everything's Better with Spinning: Being lightweight even among girls, she uses this to get some momentum and power. Actually, since she did it so much, she's much more physically potent than she looks.
• Fingerless Gloves
• Foil: To both of her teammates, providing some "good" image with her idiotic and carefree attitude.
• Girlish Pigtails: Averted. She's okay for a ponytail, but that's all.
• Not So Harmless: She looks like an idiot and only weighs 39 kg, which would make her a bottom-feeder, but she's actually stronger than the standards for girls.
• Pint-Sized Powerhouse: 150 cm, 39 kg, can smash opponents with ice cubes her own height. Manually.
• Small Name, Big Ego
• Trademark Favourite Food: Ice cream!
• Wrestler in All of Us: Uses the Diamond Dust move often used by joshi (female Japanese wrestlers).

Captain: Kiyoshi Junrin

Other members: Aoshi Kokuu, Haruka Chinai

Tropes associated with the team:

• Knight Templar: So much. They look like heroes in comparison to Team Kokujin. Even when they pit themselves against Natsuki, Kiyoshi's purpose in doing so is to call her out so she quits messing with the tournament because he wants to win it fair.
• Anti Villain Protagonist: In fact, the only thing that doesn't make them outright heroes is that they work for the bad guys.
  • Teeth-Clenched Teamwork: They want Operation G to complete, and for that they need to protect their coach Natsuki, but they have a clear grudge against her for experimenting in her own tournament.

Tropes associated with Kiyoshi:

• Aloof Ally: To Aoshi.
• Anti-Hero: Post Heel Face Turn, he's a Type II.
• Apologetic Attacker: Sort of. He's always well-mannered, and if he feels really concerned (like when he injures his opponent for real), he falls into this.
• Badass Longcoat
• Badass Normal: Downplayed since he does have notions of magic, just less than most others.
• Dark Is Not Evil: Dresses mostly in black, but the white in his clothing is the thing to stand by.
• Even Bad Men Love Their Mamas: Clearly not reciprocal, and once Kiyoshi finds out, he's justifiably angered about that.
• Jerkass Façade: Serves this to anyone who attempts to meddle with his team or his mother outside the ring.
• Power of Trust: Subverted: he really thought his mother was in the fighting business just to help him. He finds out that he's a test subject, just like everyone else.
• The Rival: Views Fuushi as this and awaits the day they will fight.
• Slouch of Villainy: Adopts this whenever he talks to his team in formal manners.
• The Stoic
  • Not So Stoic: Justifiably cracks when he discovers Natsuki tested on all the contestants in the tournament. He's obviously pissed when he goes say some words to her.
• Sugar and Ice Personality
• Tall, Dark and Handsome

Tropes associated with Aoshi:

• Above Good and Evil: He doesn't care about that kind of things.
• Always Save the Girl: Despite being a dick, by his rules, "men and women don't fight".
  • Though, if a girl attacks him threateningly enough, he'll justify himself riposting.
    "Bitches are fair game."
• An Ice Person: Full force.
• Annoying Younger Sibling: Was this to Shakurou and Shiro. Both kept rejecting him and now, Aoshi's more or less screwed up, making his state of mind and his Face Heel Turn a bad Nice Job Breaking It, Hero turn of things.
• Badass Bookworm
• Badass in a Nice Suit: He usually dresses classy, and no doubt he's an excellent fighter.
• Berserk Button: Beating Shakurou, or men beating up girls.
• Bishōnen
• Blond Guys Are Evil: Not really evil, just working for the bad guys, and a dick to anyone who tries to mess with that.
• Blue and Orange Morality: He has his own standards.
• Broken Bird: Has been abandoned and left behind throughout his childhood. Nice Job Breaking Him, Bros.
• Cool Big Bro: In his early childhood, he thought of Shakurou and Shiro as this. Then he got rejected.
• Deadpan Snarker
• Did You Just Flip Off Cthulhu?: To Akina, of all people! Nobody messes with Kiyoshi's plans.
• Evil Is Deathly Cold: He looks like the Good Is Not Nice type of person.
• Green-Eyed Monster: Bonus points for actually having Green Eyes.
• Hidden Depths: Deep inside, he has a Hair-Trigger Temper that would make him the Red Oni to Shakurou's Blue.
• Ineffectual Loner: Notably subverted, he actually is interested with Kiyoshi and can sometimes go out of his way to help his leader for no reason at all.
• Jerkass: Even though he's pretty gallant and likes fair fights, outside a match he falls into this.
  • Jerkass Façade: When he notices there are matters for Kiyoshi, he shoos off most attempts to help.
• Lean and Mean: One of the leanest men around, and also one of the meanest when using his Jerkass Façade.
• Like Brother and Sister: His desperate need for a family leads him to be a better sibling to Haruka than Akina ever was.
• Purely Aesthetic Glasses: Wears those outside fights to look intelligent.
• Selective Obliviousness: He has his ideals, but he doesn't give a shit about anyone else's.
• The Stoic
  • Not So Stoic: Of course, he has that "harming girls in front of him" Berserk Button thing. Don't hit it.
• Unstoppable Rage: When he stalls for Kiyoshi, it takes a load of time and people to bring him down, because of this.
• Villain with Good Publicity: He is known as an elegant and courteous man, if a bit cold.

Tropes associated with Haruka:

• Attention Deficit... Ooh, Shiny!
• Blondes are Evil: Averted. She's not evil per se, just absolutely thoughtless. But after growing a conscience with Aoshi... she starts as such.
• Cheerful Child: She looks like one when speaking (even things one shouldn't smile about). When not talking or interacting, she has a blank face.
• Cloud Cuckoo Lander: An extreme case. It even lead to her running away from the orphanage because she didn't know where she was going. Then Aoshi found her.
• Creepy Child
• Dissonant Serenity: She is always cheerful and serene. One could have thought she was very emotional, but she's the total contrary of that.
• The Drifter / Walking the Earth: A one-moment period stint, triggered unwittingly by Houka. When she left Akina and the other girls behind, Haruka didn't come back because of her general lack of attention. This resulted in her being found by Aoshi, and you know what that means.
• Girly Girl: Oppositely to Izumi (at least in terms of behaviour).
• Gradual Grinder: Since she is rather weak, she has to hit lots of times to actually win.
• Hope Is Scary: She is generally scared when Kiyoshi and Aoshi give her diction lessons, even though she loves speaking to people.
• Cute Chick In A Badass Suit: Her second outfit.
• Lack of Empathy: When she beats people, she doesn't give a thing about it, rather jumping around and yaying like a kid for having won.
• Parental Abandonment: The reason all her upbringing was left to her big sis' Akina.
• Pillar of Light: Punches vertically to make one, beginning her Ultimate Flower Storm Upper.
• Show Some Leg: Her third suit. Akina threw quite the temper tantrum when she saw it, thinking Aoshi and Kiyoshi were making her look like a prostitute, but when she gets to Aoshi, he tells her that Haruka composed her attire herself this once.
• Stronger Sibling: If you look who she's an Expy of, you'd think she is. Her sister doesn't think so.

Captain: Rigan Yoshimoto

Other members: Yuuji Uramichi, Akemi Reitou

Tropes associated with the team:

• Highly Visible Ninja
• McNinja: Of those three, only Akemi isn't born in America.

Tropes associated with Rigan:

• Badass Longhair
  • Long-Haired Pretty Boy
• Bash Brothers: Averted with Rikuto, who left him alone. He is looking for him when not in business.
• Disappeared Dad: His father was killed. He doesn't seem to have as much Revenge as Rikuto inside him. Yeah, seem.
• Dynamic Entry.
• Fragile Speedster: Big time.
• Hair of Gold
• Hard Work Hardly Works: Rigan's on par with Rikuto. Even though Rigan trained much harder.
• Highly Visible Ninja: He invokes this.
  "Ninja should be invisible by their own discretion, not that of their clothing."
• Light 'em Up
• Masked Luchador: Has trained several years in Mexico and has several lucha moves. He wrestles with Torou from time to time.
• The Stoic: Emotionally withdrawn is more appropriate.
  • Not So Stoic: When he hears rumors about a battle between his brother Rikuto and Touma (partially responsible for his father's death), he is hot-bloodedly disappointed.
• Shoto Clone: Somewhat: his basic skills are the shoto basic moves.
• Street Urchin: Was this after the murder of his father. He ran from the States to Mexico, and then to Japan where he became the ninja he is.
• Technician Versus Performer: When you compare him to Rikuto, he's the technician. But if you compare him to Yuuji, he's the performer.

Tropes associated with Yuuji:

• Badass Normal: Next to no magic talent, but still manages to be a contender.
• Blow You Away
• Boring, but Practical
• But Not Too Foreign: Averted. He's fully American-blooded, but raised in Japan.
• Counter Attack: Has one as part of his brawling style.
• Fragile Speedster: Defied Trope. Even though he's a ninja, he will not fall prey to the stereotypes and adopt this lineup. Yuuji is noticeably stronger physically than Rigan.
  • Fridge Logic: He's born in the States, and his usual philosophy and fighting style are just Americanized versions of what he was taught.
• I Did What I Had to Do: His attitude in general.
• Lightning Bruiser: Except his ridiculously bad level in magic, he isn't weak, moves fast, and hits fast.
• Nice Shoes: He modernized the Reitou clan notably by proving by his fighting ability how those are better than sandals. This leads to funny arguments with Rigan (voluntarily on Rigan's part since he wears boots, not sandals).
• Spin Attack
• The Stoic: So much.

Tropes associated with Akemi:

• Alcohol Hic: Not in fighting, but outside competition she could be on par with Houka.
• Bad Powers, Good People / Dark Is Not Evil
• Beware the Nice Ones: Look just above.
• Big Eater
• Cloud Cuckoo Lander: Due to her general lack of attention to anything that isn't Rigan or Yuuji, and later her focus on Revenge.
• Dissonant Serenity: She's introduced only a bit after Niki killed her dad. It's only visible in her clothing since she dresses in black while she was previously wearing blue.
• Everything's Better with Princesses: Since her father died, she is actually regarded as a queen in her clan.
• Obfuscating Stupidity: She'll pretend to be stupid just so nobody looks at her.
• The Ojou
• Playing with Fire: She can use some fireballs.
  • Technicolor Fire: Those are pure white.
• Troll: Not quite as effective as Satome since the latter trolls her.
• Yamato Nadeshiko: Just a wannabe, though.
• You Are Already Dead: She can shoot balls of dark, poisonous energy to damage her enemies even after hit.

Captain: Kintou Teisou

Other members: Tsuyoshi Seichi, Satome Rokuendo

Tropes associated with the team:

• Ambiguously Evil: Much like a Wild Card team. They out-gambit the Villain Protagonist teams, but they are Villain Protagonists too, and what they want isn't quite revealed...
• Batman Gambit
• Card-Carrying Villain: They admit being outright villainous to the other teams just so they don't meddle in their true carefully-planned goal.
• Enigmatic Minion: To the Operation G staff. Though they are kept in the dark for most of the real thing.
• Obfuscating Stupidity: Kintou, Tsuyoshi and Satome lead Teams Ougoku, Konryuu and Jundou to obvious failures.
• The Power of Friendship: Kintou and Satome are friends to Ginshi. Tsuyoshi? He's even closer to her.
• Supporting Protagonist: They brief the other teams claiming it's for Ringoto's security fairly often, but they do it wrong on purpose to Epic Fail effect, but this hides their true goals, bringing Mashin to the eyes of all to thwart his plans whatever they may be.

Tropes associated with Kintou:

• Absurdly Sharp Blade: Always makes one out of light.
• Aloof Big Brother: Though he's in fact the youngest main character of his family, he has younger brothers.
• Blue Blood: The Teisou family are all noble and potent fighters.
• Evil Laugh: How he sets his team up as Obviously Evil.
• The Law of Diminishing Defensive Effort: Defied. In battle, he's definitely unwilling to drop his guard even though he's one of the world's greatest fighters.
  • Though, he does attack with pretty nonchalant gestures, so it would be an attacking counterpart of this trope.
• Hot Blooded Sideburns
• Insufferable Genius: He's considered as World's Strongest Man, so he takes many opportunities to boast off and get some respect.
• The Proud Elite: Oh so much. The Teisou family is known for being a breed of extremely good fighters.
• Rule Of Cool: He attacks with relatively smooth and nonchalant gestures.
• Smug Super
• World's Strongest Man

Tropes associated with Tsuyoshi:

• Above Good and Evil: In his own view, he's so neutral that taking upon oneself to be good or evil is a good way to earn his disdain.
• Aloof Older Brother
• Arrogant Kung-Fu Guy
• Badass Back: Indulges in this heavily.
• Blood Knight
• Dark Is Not Evil: Though, in his case, Dark is still uncaring, violent, and alien, as well as a villainous Supporting Protagonist. It looks very much evil actually.
• Death from Above: His Splitting Purifier. The first part is just an overhead chop, but the second part is that exact same chop, done while descending of a hulk jump.
• Evil Counterpart: He looks like this to his younger brother Seino.
• Fingerless Gloves
• Jerk with a Heart of Gold: He's extremely brutal and has no qualms hitting anyone if it means the team can advance unhindered (that's basically his role). Despite this, he usually stops at knocking people unconscious, and he could go as far as leaving the unconscious body to the partners just so they allow the victim to rest properly.
• Kamehame Hadoken: Being an Expy of a specialist, this was inevitable.
• I Need You Stronger: Tries to invoke a good challenge by "training" Seino.
• Meaningful Name: Tsuyoshi means that, well, he's strong. Damn right he is.
• Obliviously Evil
• Older Sidekick: To Kintou and Satome, he's a trustworthy Secret Keeper while also being The Brute.
• Spirited Competitor: And he goes to lengths just to preserve the competition.
• World's Strongest Man: Strives to be this, but keeps getting crossed by Kintou.

Tropes associated with Satome:

• Action Girl: Tries to avoid looking like one.
• Ambiguously Evil / Good All Along
• Bifauxnen: She looks slightly male, especially in her clothing, but her gender never is ambiguous.
• Byronic Heroine
• Blondes are Evil: It's a façade.
• Combat Pragmatist: Relies on her looks to be mistaken for "just a pretty girl".
• Crossdresser: Dresses like a man. Like a Bishōnen, but hey!
• French Jerk: She lived her first eleven years in France, and can be jerkish. She notes that the Japanese are much nicer than the French... except for her grandfather.
• Hair Flip: She just loves doing it.
• Long Lost Granddaughter: Was this to Mashin, because she has lived her eleven first years in a French orphanage.
• Multicolored Hair: In her second outfit.
• Obfuscating Stupidity: She has a lot of narcissistic manners for her to overplay, in order to hide her Hidden Depths.
  • Also, she manipulated Team Ougoku into distrust, doing the most difficult part of the work when it came to drawing the teams to utter failure.
• Peek-A-Bangs
• Smug Snake: Behaves like this, though she's actually a Smug Super.
• Technicolor Fire: Green, like her inspiration Ash Crimson.
• Troll: Notably, she underlines Akemi's failure to realize that she got fooled by an impersonator of her own brother.
• Turned Against Their Masters: She turned against Mashin just before her apparition. In fact, she kickstarted a plot involving half of the cast, in order to force Mashin to reveal himself.

Tatsuya Zanjima, Miki Yagawa, Hakkou Seichi and Akina Chinai

Tropes associated with Tatsuya:

• Anime Hair
• Badass
  • Badass Grandpa: 55 years old.
  • Badass Normal: Uses magic sparingly, yet he is reknowned for being nearly unbeatable head-on.
  • Lamarck Was Right: Most definitely, his sons' strength makes him proud. Them constantly fighting each other, not so much.
• Clothes Make the Legend: Averted, he's reknowned, but the outfit he wore while he was a fearsome fighter has gone unremembered.
• Cool Old Guy
• Determinator: Even God Mode Eiko, who outpowers him by far isn't enough to keep him downed.
• Good Scars, Evil Scars: He had a fighting career, and many scars due to having fought so much.
• Jerkass: Of sorts: he's infamous in the community for his reluctance with progress.
• Living Legend: To a degree, but he was as hated as loved. Even while not fighting, he has mixed reception. His unlikely survivals made people think he orchestrated fake attempts at taking his life.
• Made of Iron
• Pet the Dog: When he is told that Natsuki has used the tournament she organized for research, he expresses concern for his son Kiyoshi.
• Rated M for Manly: He was. And he shows obvious preferences towards manly men rather than bishies.
• Refuge in Audacity: He can think quite the flamboyant things.
• Spirited Competitor

Tropes associated with Miki:

• An Ice Person
• Attack Reflector
• Awesomeness by Analysis: She is skilled at Power Copying too. Demonstrated by showing off her Typhoon Slicer she copied off Touma's Rinshuu Rekkai.
• Beware the Nice Ones: Usually playing fair, but in the face of cheating, she will do what she has to do.
• Christmas Cake: She's 29.
• Clear My Name: A variant: she wants her brother to avoid doing such evil things because it is detrimental to her reputation.
• Dance Battler: She mixes ballerina and other dances into her attacks.
• Finger Poke of Doom: One Limit Break of hers ends with this.
• Power Limiter: Her bracelets are one.
• The Stoic: Usually.
• Sweet Tooth: Yup.
• White-Haired Pretty Girl
• Worthy Opponent: Considered this by many of the Operation G staff. Except Niki.

Tropes associated with Hakkou:

• Arrogant Kung-Fu Guy: When he ceases ignoring his own martial arts skills.
• Authority Equals Asskicking: CEO of the scientific enterprise called Number Zero. Also a major kicker of arses.
  • Asskicking Equals Authority: Killed the former CEO of Number Zero to take his place when back from jail.
• Badass Cape
• Battle Aura: Proof he's much stronger than the others is that it shows up whenever he ceases holding back.
• Better as Friends: Pulled on him by Miki. He's a dozen of years older than her, after all.
• Bishōnen: Tries his hardest to be one at his age.
  • Older Than They Look: Manages to still look young despite being 42 years old.
• The Dreaded: To the Operation G Staff. As much as they respect Miki, they fear having to fight Hakkou, because he is much more powerful than them.
• Holding Back the Phlebotinum: Doesn't engage his enemies often because his excessive power could lead to him getting jailed for overkill.
• Let's Get Dangerous: When he stops trying to be overly protective of his looks, he packs a hell of a punch and engages in displays of power that make pretty much all his peers jealous.
• Oh Crap: When he goes to take on Eiko and she takes his first assault without much effort.
• Psychic Powers: Only has the attacking variety.
• Physical God: God Mode Hakkou would be the God to end all Gods in terms of power, though Ringoto isn't okay with having Hakkou as a god-like entity because he has an "ungodly" behavior.
• Real Men Wear Pink: He takes great care of his long hair, and collects Shoujo manga.
• Rule Of Cool: One of his driving lines, oppositely to Tatsuya.
• Spam Attack
• Sphere of Destruction: His Ultimate, seen from afar, still as this visible.
• There Is No Kill Like Overkill: When he fights, he indulges into heavy displays of power that often end up being this.

Tropes associated with Akina:

• A Mind Is a Terrible Thing to Read: Reason she doesn't use her developed Psychic Powers all the time.
• Anime Hair: Brown with (usually) pink strands.
• Ascended Fangirl
• Badass Bookworm: She is all too happy to state that she could inflict a Curb-Stomp Battle on her sister.
• Badass Cape
• Brainy Brunette
• Cool Big Sis: For Haruka, though given how blank and devoid of feelings their interactions are, it doesn't look the part.
  • Team Mom: She was this to a good part of the girls. Houka, Tenko, Izumi, Haruka and Akemi all have been trained to differing degrees by her.
• Cute Bookworm: To a certain degree.
• Deadpan Snarker
• Dye Hard: Always dyes her hair big time. Usually pink, but blue is not unseen.
• Extra Eyes: Usually manifests her Psychic Powers blatantly via an eye opening in the air out of nowhere.
• Friend to All Children: Works in an orphanage where she raises Haruka.
• Impossibly Cool Clothes
• Justice Will Prevail
• Luckily My Powers Will Protect Me: Since she exposes her powers so blatantly, you'd think she never bothered to hide them, like she wants everyone to know of her being a psychic.
• Morality Chain: She was this for Haruka until the beginning of the plot. She was a physical chain as well, preventing Haruka from drifting.
• Not Good with People
• Screw the Rules, I'm Doing What's Right
• SNK Boss: Reaches this level of power.
• Toku: Likes this.

Natsuki Junrin, Niki Yagawa, Ginshi Kesshaku, Touma Toudo, Ringoto Teisou, Mashin Kisei, Houka-2, Eiko

Tropes associated with Natsuki:

• Absurdly Youthful Mother
• Abusive Stepmother: To Fuushi. She was very caring of Kiyoshi. But it was an experience for her to guess which of them two would be the stronger one.
• Action Mom: This once, it's not a good thing.
• Archnemesis Stepmom: To Fuushi, again.
• Batman Gambit: She loves predicting Fuushi's hate of her. She's the reason the Anti-Hero Team Kokujin is rather ineffectual.
• Big Screwed-Up Family: She invoked it by marrying with Tatsuya.
• Blondes are Evil
• Broken Bird: Has been broken at the tender age of 13 by a former executive of the then-illegal ''Number Zero'', who kidnapped her and experimented on her. She lost all sorts of moral compasses and took all the man's possessions for herself after he died.
• The Chosen One: Perhaps the cause she was experimented on was her inborn holy power.
• Evil Genius
• Flash Step
• For Science!: She even made her marriage and offspring her experiment!
• Guinea Pig Family: She drugged Kiyoshi more than once, and at the tournament she organizes, she drugs every single participant by hiding a serum in the food.
• Hot Mom: But an evil one.
• How Do I Shot Web?: Has inborn holy powers, but forgot how to use them after her traumatic childhood.
• Lack of Empathy: Real bad.
• Lady of War: Subverted: She isn't graceful in battle, just outside.
• Ninja: Has some elements of this because she's been trained to become one (of sorts) for several years, when she was kidnapped.
• Not Good with People: Ever since she lost her only friends at childhood.
• Poisonous Person
• Powered by a Forsaken Child: Inverted roles: she absorbed the lifeforce of her kidnapper.
• Pragmatic Villainy: She intervenes rarely, and if so it's for an experiment, or to stall Fuushi.
• Statuesque Stunner: Trumps most other girls in the setting at 186 cm (Ginshi still trumps her by being 190 cm tall). She had Tatsuya marrying her mere months after his former wife died.
• Wicked Stepmother

Tropes associated with Niki:

• Asian Rune Chant: Doing it in the exact same bored and somewhat mocking fashion as Chouji did was how he fooled the Reitou clan into believing he was Chouji.
• Authority Equals Asskicking: Operation G executive. And he kicks ass as well as he kicks dogs.
• Badass Mustache: Grew one to distinguish himself, but it only resulted in him being called ugly.
• Black Screen of Death
• Butt Monkey: Was this in his family. No wonder he ran away.
• Cool Shades: Carries a pair. Those are his friend Chouji's shades.
• Cunning Like a Fox: He is rather fond of trickery.
• Fastball Special: Can fling himself into battle.
• Flash Step
• Good With Numbers: Not that it matters, because Miki surpasses him in those regards too.
• It Was a Gift: Chouji's Cool Shades.
• Master of Disguise: It works. Niki fools the relatives of his dead close friend Chouji he impersonates. Justified as they have been working together as said friend was sickly. Though, he grows one big identity complex after being "Miki except worse" and impersonating Chouji (his dead friend), because without this, he is noone and there is noone for him to be.
• Poisoned Weapons: His hands, thanks to magic learned from his friend.
• Shadow Pin
• Sore Loser: Big time.
• Turned Against Their Masters: Against his family, to be more honest.

Tropes associated with Ginshi:

• Absurdly Youthful Adoptive Mother: She's 39, and even though she took in Tsuyoshi, she looks nowhere near her age of 39.
• Affably Evil: She's usually civil and polite. Unless you're being a thorn in her side, that is: she's rather fond of Disproportionate Retribution and Cool and Unusual Punishment.
• Arms Dealer: And she knows what she does enough to get approached by Ringoto.
• Artificial Limbs
• Attack Reflector
• Audible Sharpness: When using magic to make slashing Hard Light.
• Badass in a Nice Suit: Dresses like her wealth allows for, and real strong.
• Badass Longhair
• Big Fancy House: How about aircraft as a home?
• Blondes are Evil
• Blood Knight: She likes making use of her Power Copying.
• Blow You Away
• Bring It
• Cloud Cuckoo Lander: Somewhat literally, as she usually lives airborne, but she definitely is eccentric.
• Cool Ship: Her tournament is organized in a giant airship.
• Deadpan Snarker: She has her moments.
• Fingerless Gloves: One. Her right prosthetic arm is fully hidden by a long glove.
• Flash Step
• For the Lulz: Her reasons. Though she knows Operation G is about enhancements, so she thinks about replacing her prosthetic right arm.
• Good Scars, Evil Scars: She has a pretty ugly scar under her chest. She takes care of hiding it.
• Jerk with a Heart of Gold: She usually fights when it's about killing off or seriously dissuading someone, so it can feel weird to know that outside a fight (or business) she's actually Affably Evil and could help people, as Team Magou can attest.
• Kamehame Hadoken: Is able to fire big energy balls.
• Kung-Fu Clairvoyance: Has high sensory ability she acquired at training.
• Lightning Bruiser: Leans toward Glass Cannon, usually.
• Narcissist
• Omniglot: Speaks proficiently at least three languages (English, German and Japanese).
• Playing with Fire: Her Tactical Lance isn't an actual fireball, just an Energy Ball. But its upgrade Limit Break, Titan Drill has this added on for good measure.
• Poisoned Weapons: She copied a magic skill of poisoning from Niki who himself learned it.
• Power Copying: Holds some gift that allows her to do this.
• Red Baron: "Silvertongue", when alluding to her business practices.
• Slouch of Villainy
• Sore Loser: Still loses by a wide margin to Niki in these regards.
• Spirited Competitor: She is skirting the line with Blood Knight, though.
• Statuesque Stunner: 190 cm, 84 kg. She's the woman with the largest frame, by far.

Tropes associated with Touma:

• Animal Motifs: Cats, and sometimes the phoenix.
• Anti-Villain: Moreso than every other one. Types I and II.
• Arrogant Kung-Fu Guy: Not this much because he admits his weaknesses due to sickness, but he doesn't understate his ability.
• Awesomeness by Analysis: Capable of easily reading his opponent's moves.
• Badass: To a certain degree. He can only fight short, but he can deliver quite the curbstomp as long as the fight is short-lived.
  • Handicapped Badass: Has an unknown heart sickness that could kill him in one moment of hyperactivity, despite being really potent.
• Battle Aura: When he is serious, he has one, though this is a mark of the incoming Heroic RROD.
• Counter Attack
• Deadpan Snarker
• Disability Superpower: His unknown sickness is related to magic, but augments his heart rate to dangerous levels if he gets serious.
• Dropped a Bridge on Him: When he was about to get caught, Niki dropped a ton of sand over him before evacuating Team Ougoku, leaving Team Konryuu to try and take him out of that.
• Everything's Better with Spinning: His Rinshuu (Circular Heel) has so many variations it alone makes around half of his movepool. And let's not get started on his Cursed Wings of Fire Ultimate, where he grows wings of fire and flings himself at the enemy while spinning like a drill.
• Expy: If it's noted here, it's because Touma's case is strange. Originally - aka when I worked on A-Ko Project with my brother rather than this Suspiciously Similar Substitute - he was to expy Tenjou Tenge's Mitsuomi Takayanagi, due to interaction with several of my brother's characters. I had to change the expying when porting him into the very different context.
• Heroic Resolve: Despite being a villain, Touma has the heroic motive of fighting against sickness in the world. His grandfather died of an unidentified sickness Touma has too, strengthening his will to fight it. He rarely asks for drugs despite his would-be-constant need for those.
• Hidden Depths: Operation G worker, backstage curbstomper, Jerkass... with a heart of gold, and student in medicinal science.
• I Did What I Had to Do: His attitude towards his "bad" business in the Operation G. He's fully willing to be jailed for what he has done, but actually he didn't do this much.
• Ill Boy
• Jerkass: To anyone that bothers him. It's justified since he's really high on edge, working his ass off to save his own life. Too much to bother with nuisances.
• Kindhearted Cat Lover
• Legacy Character: Of sorts. He took the place of his grandpa after the latter died by the same heart sickness Touma contracted.
• Nigh Invulnerability: If he's serious, he's solid enough to receive little injury even from being punched out a window. Though, this doesn't cover the ensuing Heroic RROD.
• Parental Abandonment: He has been raised by his grandfather, and is known to live alone now that the old man died.

Tropes associated with Ringoto:

• Affably Evil: And debatably not even evil.
• Badass Bookworm
• Badass Preacher: So much that he's willing to create God since there isn't one. That's the thing behind Operation G.
• Baddie Flattery: He never underestimates anybody, and cites their good points as reasons for him to be serious, even though the praise is not hypocritical at all.
• Blow You Away
• Flash Step
• Four is Death: Has four executives.
• Gratuitous English
• Razor Wind
• Spam Attack

Tropes associated with Mashin:

• A God Am I: His reason to participate in the project was so he could say this.
• Lack of Empathy: He even chastises Touma on being "bad at even recruitment". Note that Touma is sick and close to death should his condition get worse. And he's the one not doing much.
  • Jerkass Has a Point: He was utterly fooled because when he tried recruiting Chouji, he fell
• Man in White
• Pragmatic Villainy: To some degree, since he only acts for his own advantage.
• Surrounded by Idiots: He'd find something to Trash Talk every single of his co-workers about.
• The Unfettered: I have referred to Mashin several times as "the ultimate egoist" of the fiction. It all ultimately boils down to whether things help him or not.

Tropes associated with Houka-2:

• Ax Crazy
• Blood Knight: Some things never go off.
• Brainwashed and Crazy: She is born brainwashed, and was so during her first fight. Then, when she was dumped to her own devices, not knowing what to do, Brainwash Residue being the only things she had, she attacks the heroes at random.
• Divergent Character Evolution: Zig Zagged. Houka-2 is originally Brainwashed and Crazy, and since she knew nothing else, Brainwash Residue ensued and she stayed as she was, which means evil. She's told to be more like Houka to blend better, but as she learns, she realizes that being like her doesn't help people understand her, so she wants to avert being exactly the same.
• Evil Knockoff
• Playing with Fire: Same as normal Houka.
  • Pyro Maniac
• Red Eyes, Take Warning
• Shadow Archetype: Evidence is evidence.

Tropes associated with Eiko:

• Artificial Human: Though she looks much like a Robot Girl.
• Brainwashed and Crazy: Her first appearance.
• BFS: Drops one on you, made of solid dark magic, in one of her Super moves.
• Storm of Blades: When she isn't dropping BFS's.

Tropes associated with Loke:

• The Ace: A Child Prodigy who was referred to as a war hero, all this under age 20. He utterly enjoys his fame...

• Always Save the Girl: He can be rather caring towards some females in the cast, especially Caelia.
• An Ice Person
• Asskicking Equals Authority: How he got up in the ranks. He believes really hard in this.
• Bishounen
• Cryonics Failure: All too prone to use that.

• Insistent Terminology: Even though he's a defector, he holds Pride in his former rank and his title of Hero.
• Jerkass: Of course, taking after the God of Assholes himself, Jin Kisaragi.
• Knight in Sour Armor: He finds everything somewhat dull and depressing.
• Names to Run Away From Really Fast: His first name is Loke. Like in Loki, and yes, that Loki.
• Nietzsche Wannabe: Somewhat. At least moreso than Jin, since he remains rather apathetic. His will is clearly to wipe out everything to start his new order from scratch.

• Does Not Like Shoes
• The Dreaded
• High Pressure Blood: Never does she bleed, but the eye she previously masked is in fact extremely bloodshot, hinting her to have this.
• Humans Are The Real Monsters: When she gets to think about it. Not that it's any sort of motivation for her...
• Kill 'em All: Her standard solution to pretty much anything.

Tropes associated with Adelbert:

• Berserk Button: Faye's clones. And their clones. And the clones of their clones! *

• Smug Super: A great deal of that he is.

Tropes associated with Caelia:

• Action Girl: Definitely so.
• Badass Bookworm
• Blind Justice: She was so before she saw the thing.

• He Knows Too Much: Despite utterly disliking the use of such attitude, she uses of it against anybody who discovers her rebellion from inside.
• Knight Templar

• Single-Target Sexuality: She can't get interested in anyone else than Loke.

Tropes associated with Yaki:

• Brains and Brawn: He's Hari's Brawn.
• Deadpan Snarker
• Genius Bruiser: Though he doesn't get to show it often.
• Hollywood Cyborg

• Stone Wall
• Undying Loyalty: To Hari, obviously enough.

Tropes associated with Regulus:

Tropes associated with Nobunaga:

• World's Strongest Man: He is rumored to be the single most powerful living person.

Tropes associated with Albus:

• Badass Bookworm
• Child Prodigy: Given how he has a rather good level in alchemy (he's faring better at it than a good part of the cast), he is this.
• Creepy Child

Tropes associated with Reiei:

• Ascended Fanboy: Was a fan of Mortimer von Abendroth, Heida's butler. After he tried to rebel, he briefly rejected Mortimer and fought him, but Mortimer broke his resolve with words while holding back on him. After that one fight which he is ashamed of, he became a candidate for succession and a student to Mortimer.
• Badass Bookworm
• Berserk Button: Insulting Heida or her butler and his master, Mortimer von Abendroth.
• Big Badass Wolf: His inability to become one is a major factor in his low self-esteem.
• Dark Is Not Evil: Very dark and gloomy.
• Epileptic Trees: In his RP of origin, he was said to be (maybe) a blood relative of Valkenhayn's. Maybe Mortimer truly has some blood link with him...

• The Stoic: Even when his Berserk Button described above is triggered.
• Undying Loyalty: To his master Mortimer, and his master's master Heida.

Tropes associated with Mint:

• Blade Spam
• Clones Are People Too: In her RP of origin, she was supposed to be a returning Zeta with drastic changes in personality. Now she's a clone intent on proving this trope by living for herself.
• Clone Degeneration: Being a clone of a clone of a clone, she has almost nothing in common with her original.

• Younger Than They Look: Mint isn't older than three years old, but she behaves like a 16-year-old.

Tropes associated with R:

• Bad Powers, Bad People: In fact much more positive than it could be: R is a Knight Templar whose nuclear engine has no side-effect.
• Bare-Fisted Monk: His fighting style is fighting barehanded.
• I Love Nuclear Power: How he packs so much sheer power despite fighting barehanded? His Kimota Engine.

• Leeroy Jenkins: His general attitude.
• Psycho Electro: His insanity is Black and White Insanity, but well...

Tropes associated with Johnny:

• Badass Boast: When he returned, he immediately rescued Eta, addressing the thugs with this (immediately followed by thinking to himself that it wasn't any wonder Tsutomu did that because it's pretty cool):
  "This is a single-barrel shotgun, and that means I win, you lose."
• Brilliant, but Lazy: The attitude he generally adopts.
• Do-Anything Robot: He has given many adjustments to his robotic body over time. His body is a Swiss Army Weapon.
• Expy: Of EX-Ky. Which means that despite being based off of Ky, he takes traits of Sol: mild jerkassery when miffed, general un-care, and a much less uptight attitude.
• Fingerless Gloves
• Immortality: Type 1. Thanks to his robotic body, he's now basically The Ageless.
• Jerkass Façade: When in RJ-hunter mode.

• Hot Blooded
• Ill Boy: The shield Touko uses? It was a family heirloom from both his and her families and Touko had the shield given by Kouma himself when he got sick because of its side-effect. He's very disease-prone due to after-effects of his stint in holding the shield.
• Mighty Glacier
• Totally Radical
• Undying Loyalty

• The Perfectionist
• The Unfought: In the RP, he was dropped in favor of Jin Denzuki's return as Johnny D. Flash.

Tropes associated with Shibi:

• Dark Is Not Evil: Uses darkness, and her Finishing Move is the Instant Death variation.
• Expy: Of Touhou's Komachi Onozuka.
• Lady of Black Magic: A well-educated Yamato Nadeshiko, but she can use her Sinister Scythe to punish those who try to do her wrong in one too many ways.

Tropes associated with Zack:

• Ambiguously Gay: He's definitely a girly-boy.
• Beam Spam: Can fire this with his weapon, which is somewhat a laser gunblade.

• Glowing Eyes of Doom: Those are neon lights.
• Nerves of Steel: Literally.
• Red Oni, Blue Oni: He's a notable blue to #41's Red.
• Redheaded Hero: Yup, that metal mass still is a redhead. And he's part of a protagonist team.
• Shock and Awe: His attacks are electrical in nature, and his weapon is a highly-conductive sword.
• The Smart Guy: His analytical personality constrasts Kouma's hotheaded attitude and Touko's Obfuscating Stupidity.
• The Spock: A tamer variant to Touko's Kirk and Kouma's McCoy. He has the advantage of not considering people's deaths as just, though.
  • Spock Speak
• Tin Man: Though he's a robot, his AI is developed enough to develop emotion. He doesn't seem to realize it, or thinks that since it's programmed, it's not real emotion.

Tropes associated with Sojiro:

• Badass Driver: He pilots a drone so well that he can do extreme acrobatics with it.

• Hollywood Nerd
• Patriotic Fervor: He's utterly devoted to the order represented by Regulus and Edge, regrdless of everything else.

• The Stoic: In fact, he hides his true allegiance. He doesn't give a thought about the Rex Regina, he just supports Edge and Regulus because of his utter awe for them.

• Wind is Green: His uniform is green as sign of his status as an air force officer.

• Bare-Fisted Monk: Fights barehanded, with a stolen Powered Armor on.
• The Comically Serious: Intended as this to Shike's Hot Blooded attitude.
