History Anime / CControl

* NiceJobBreakingItHero: In episode 6, Kimimaro faces Sennoza, a philanthropist who greatly helped the third world. He defeats him (it is implied that he actually bankrupted him), reversing almost all of Sennoza's work.

* ParentalAbandonment: Kimimaro's father left [[spoiler:and later committed suicide]] and his mother died. He's supported by his maternal grandmother.

* BigDamnHeroes: The White Knight flation used by Kakazuzu allows him to invoke this trope. Deals are normally one-on-one duels, but when White Knight is used then Mikuni can bring another one of his Asset's into the fray.

* WomanInBlack: Jennifer.

* SweetTooth: Most of time, Jennifer appears eating a lollipop or fast food

* MesACrowd: Part of the effect of the flation E.B.O. wielded by Georges causes him to take on Jennifer's appearance, thus creating the illusion that there suddenly are more of her.

** Shown in the 8th episode to be a different color in different Financial Districts; whereas the Far Eastern Financial District has a red sky, the Southeast Asian Financial District's sky is green.

* InvisibleToNormals: Midas Money, while not invisible, appears like normal money to everyone but members of the Financial District. Played a bit when it comes to the district itself, while a few people in various high power positions are aware of both the districts existence and C, only card holders are granted access.

* InvisibleToNormals: Midas Money, while not invisible, appears like normal money to everyone but members of the Financial District. Of course only the initiated know the District even exists.

** Jennifer Sato has white hair.

* LadyInRed: Msyu.

* BewareTheNiceOnes: Sennouza... ooooh boy. A noted philantropist who uses his Midas Money to help kids in impoverished countries, and offers to reimburse the lost half of an Entre's fortune if they back out of a deal with him. If you do battle him, however... what he will unleash upon you is quite literally comparable to the wrath of God himself. Complete with an [[OurAngelsAreDifferent angelic (but still utterly terrifying) Asset, DramaticThunder, [[BoltOfDivineRetribution lightning bolts]] and GlowingEyesOfDoom.

* BareYourMidriff: Msyu

* CuteMonsterGirl:Msyu. Also Q[[spoiler:... [[SlasherSmile usually]].]]

* EldritchLocation: The Financial District

* FemmeFatalons: Msyu

* KillItWithFire: Msyu

* LadyInRed: Msyu

* OneLetterName: the asset Q, and the phenomenon known as C.
* OneLetterTitle: the short title of the anime is simply ''[C]''.

* PintSizedPowerhouse: while Msyu is not abnormally small on a human scale, she is pretty small for an Asset (though not the smallest). During his first Deal, Kimimaro, faced with a [[AttackOfTheFiftyFootWhatever skyscraper-sized metal ball-throwing beast knight thing]], remarks that his own Asset looks pretty underwhelming compared to his opponent's, but when Msyu [[KillItWithFire gets him to let her use her Mezzoflation]], she proceeds to prove him wrong.

** The whole concept of Midas Bank,. It's probably the "simplest" way to make good money in a completely screwed up economic environment, but you constantly need to participate in "deals", and if you go bankrupt, you lose way more than just your money.

** The name of Jennifer's asset György is apparently spelled "WWJF". The four-letter codes on the cards don't reflect the name of the asset. Kimimaro simply named his asset after the code on his card.

* TheDeterminator: Kimimaro. [[spoiler: Later, Jennifer, in a very tear-jerking way.]]
* TheMasquerade: Of a sort. "There is no code of silence, but most wouldn't believe you, so I recommend silence." They don't seem to care if the whole world knows, it's just that the Financial District and its activities don't leave much believable evidence.
* TheVamp: Jennifer's recruitment pitch to Kimimaro was delivered while on top of him. This could be her vamping him...or it could just be lust, we don't know.

The series is directed by Kenji Nakamura, whose previous projects, ''Anime/{{Mononoke}}'' and ''Literature/{{Trapeze}}'', should be enough to tell you that MindScrew and mindbogglingly good-looking scenes await those who take this anime on. Broadcasted as part of the {{noitaminA}} block during the [[Spring2011Anime Spring 2011 season]]. It is produced by Creator/TatsunokoProduction.

* TakeOurWordForIt: All we get to see of Kimimaro's fight with Sennoza is Msyu getting beaten within an inch of her life. Somehow, Kimimaro wins, but we don't get to see.

* HornedHumanoid: All Assets have horns of some description. Some Assets are humanoid. Do the maths.

* DefeatMeansFriendship: After Kimimaro defeated him, [[spoiler: and [[RetGone in so doing, retconned his children's birth, his marriage, and most everything except being an ordinary schoolteacher]]]], [[spoiler: his teacher Ebara]] became a valuable advisor when it comes to handling the Deals and the consequences thereof. [[DrivenToSuicide For a while.]]

* DefeatMeansFriendship: After Kimimaro defeated him, [[spoiler: and [[RetGone in so doing, retconned his children's birth, his marriage, and most everything except being an ordinary schoolteacher]]]], [[spoiler: his teacher]] has become a valuable advisor when it comes to handling the Deals and the consequences thereof.

* DisappearedDad: Kimimaro's father. [[spoiler:It's revealed in Episode 3 that he was once a rather successful Entre, but then went bankrupt all at once and was DrivenToSuicide as a result. His body went unidentified, so (almost) no one knew what happened to him.]]

* DramaticThunder: Played with during the battle beween Kimimaro and Sennoza. The dramatic thunder is actually produced by Sennoza's [[ShockAndAwe lightning-wielding]] asset, Karma.
* DrivenToSuicide: Makita jumps in front of a train after losing to Mikuni. [[spoiler:Kimimaro's father hung himself after going bankrupt. Ebara is talked out of jumping off a roof, but later walks into oncoming traffic.]]

** Masakaki especially, in-keeping with his uncanny appearance.

* CuteMonsterGirl:Msyu

* AboveTheInfluence: It's made clear in episode 7 that an entre can rape their asset without much difficulty, if they feel like it. Kimimaro ends up sucker-punching the guy in question. And later Msyu asks him to kiss her ([[InnocentFanserviceGirl she doesn't really understand the implications]]), and he politely turns her down.

** Shown in the 8th episode to be a different colour in different Financial Districts; whereas the Far Eastern Financial District has a red sky, the Southeast Asian Financial District's sky is green.
