* ManBehindTheMan: To Michel.

* IDidWhatIHadToDo: [[spoiler: He sacrificed his body and revived Michel only to save Michal's life]]

[[Main/NoCelebritiesWereHarmed What does it look like]]? Seriously, though, Gackt (Gakuto in some scanslations, Gackto in the Del Rey print, and Gaito in the anime) is a self-obsessed pretty-boy prince that somehow manages to wear a fur coat and sit in a hot tub underwater. The main antagonist of the first arc, his aim is to trap the seven princesses in PeopleJars, use their pearls to summon the great Aqua Regina, and destroy the world as revenge for his people, whom she sealed underwater millennia ago to punish their king. At least, that's what he ''says'' his motivation is. He may not do much but drink wine, hold roses and order his harem around, but he holds formidable power, and he's out to double it -- and Kaito just may be the key to do that.

* UnluckyChildhoodFriend: It turns out that they were Gackto's only friends as a kid.

* CrossdressingVoices: Voiced by Creator/JunkoMinagawa.

* CrossdressingVoices: Lady Bat, of course. Voiced by Creator/SanaeKobayashi.

In the manga, Michel sends him and him only to capture the mermaids while he [[spoiler:kidnaps Michal.]] In the anime, Michel sends all 3 Winged Ones instead, but it's Lady Bat ordering Lanhua and Alala around.

* VillainousCrossdresser: Lady Bat.

* {{Odango}}: Lanhua.

Tropes associated with Gackto:

'''Izuuru''' was originally a shark, and is the oldest and most overdramatic of the Dark Lovers, though the writer describes her as "the only normal one". '''Eriru''', formerly a manta ray, is an idiot who twirls around to switch between her "evil" and "normal" personalities. '''Yuuri''', once a fish, is now a precocious, bratty child. '''Maria''', an eel, became a cold and gorgeous ice user.

Tropes associated with the Dark Lovers:
* AnIcePerson: Maria.

* BrattyHalfPint: Yuuri, and when she tries to act like an adult, she always looks more childish.
* ChristmasCake: Maria is clearly over 25, and she's often teased about it.
* DatingCatwoman: Hippo with Yuuri, later on.
* TheDitz: Eriru's nice personality.

* FriendlyEnemy: Eriru's nice personality. Yuuri, later on, tries her best to resist becoming this or pulling a HeelFaceTurn.
* GlowingEyesOfDoom: Eriru's evil personality has glowing red eyes.
* HarmlessFreezing: Maria's powers.
* InterspeciesRomance: Besides their fixation on Gackto, Yuuri eventually falls in love with Hippo.
* JekyllAndHyde: Eriru's first personality is friendly and harmless. Her second, on the other hand...
** She also has a third personality in the anime, which isn't very frequently seen. This one is distinctive for having more detailed eyes. In it, she's neither as perky or as evil as the other two; she is instead observant and thoughtful and can make some really insightful comments.
* LoveMartyr: All of them, but Izuuru takes this up ten notches.

* NinjaPirateZombieRobot: A rastafari with cat ears and black feathered wings. That's Eriru.

* PersonalityPowers: The cold Maria's ice and the obnoxious Yuuri's loud piano.
* PrecociousCrush: Yuuri looks and acts about nine. Gackto treats her like the black sheep of the harem because he doesn't like little girls (not that he loves any of them), which ''almost'' causes her to HeelFaceTurn out of spite.

* RedEyesTakeWarning: Evil Eriru.
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Izul and Eril.

* TheVirus: Yuuri's piano music.
