Up To Eleven is a defunct trope


* AxCrazy: DoubleSubverted. When she becomes a wolf in the ''Wit'' route, she completely loses it at the end and gleefully admits her intent to kill someone ever since she moved in Yasumizu. Later, in ''Darkness'', Haruaki understands that she lied in a fit of despair. ''Then'' he ultimately learns that she was trapped in a loop and kept memories of it, [[UpToEleven several hundred more times than him]], revealing that she was already insane from the start. Only by ''Myth'' she starts to snap out of it, thanks to Haruaki acting as her moral support.

* ClaspYourHandsIfYouBelieve: The changes in how people perceived and worshipped Lord Shin'nai throughout the time seem to have caused its nature to actually change. Originally starting as a worship to three discrete and benevolent figures, with time these figures seems to have amalgamated into a singular image, and so Shin'nai is a single entity now. And as the cult of Shin'nai had become oppressive so did Shin'nai itself turned into a tyrant. The fact that its cult has been in a flux seems to be also responsible why Shin'nai keeps changing shapes every time it appears but at the same time does not seem to have a "true" form.

!!The real Lord Shin'nai

The senior deity worshipped in the Kamifujiyoshi region, patron to denizens of the Fujiyoshi village and the opponent to the dreaded Ookami. In truth, however, Shin'nai and Ookami are one and the same, and the bloody and oppressive order of things in the region, including treatment of denizens of Yasumizu and Feasts of Yomi Purge with their murders and lynching, transpires with its full approval.
Lord Shin'nai only appears in person in one of the extra stories, where it directs its wrath to Hisako Mamiya.

* DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu: Averted. Even with Mujina on their side heroes cannot simply force Shin'nai to back off, so they are forced to bargain with it.
* DeityOfHumanOrigin: Lord Shin'nai seems to have come into existence from the worship of three human sacrifices whose remains Haruaki finds during ''Myth''.
* EldritchAbomination: Shin'nai manages to be even more terrifying and bizarre than Mujina or Tsuchigumo. It's capable of kidnapping people and forcefully dragging them into the spirit realm, and even though Tsuchigumo's form is gigantic and monstrous it is still solid, while Shin'nai's form constantly changes and it's implied it doesn't even ''have'' the real, true avatar.
* GodNeedsPrayersBadly: Averted, just like Mujina Shin'nai does not need prayers and worshippers to exist but it still wants to have those. Dispelling its cult does not deprive Shin'nai of its powers, and instead only serves to make it angry and to try to exact its revenge on those involved and enslave them to his will.
* JerkassGods: A cruel tyrant of a deity, Shin'nai was fully content with bloody and oppressive acts that had been occuring in its name, treating its worshippers as its servants and toys.
* NothingIsScarier: The fact that it never gets anything resembling a discernible avatar makes it much more intimidating.
* OrcusOnHisThrone: Shin'nai is never seen to act during the course of the main plot, letting its servants do their work. Only dismantlng its cult causes it to start acting in person and to try and get new servants.
* PostFinalBoss: It only appears in one of the extra stories, set after the conclusion of the main plot.
* RealAfterAll: Lord Shin'nai never personally shows up during the course of the main story, and, even with a confirmed existence of other supernatural entities, with how many lies and mystifications were involved in the Feasts it's easy to assume Shin'nai itself is also fictional. Turns out it's very real.

** The reason they are this and not BiggerBad or BigBadDuumvirate is because they are actually unaware of Rikako's goal and agenda nor do they know of the looping. She did not move to Yasumizu on their order, and her plan to bring forth Tsuchigumo is her idea alone, not something they sanctioned. She is also not getting any special privileges or parts in the feast, only knowing what she knows above the rest because of her status as the family head. All of this puts Rikako and the Miguruma as two separate factions in this situation, not immediately related or subservient to another within the context of the plot.

Another classmate of Haru and Yasunaga, he's actually the same age as them despite his small build. He has a tendency to do whatever he wants, which cause some to be wary of him. However, he's smarter than he looks, and as such Yasunaga consider him a genius, with a surprisingly good instinct.

* HopeSpot: The arrival of Haruaki for the first time after hundreds of loops makes her believe in a meager hope for escape or a FinalDeath for her, but his death in ''Yomi'' pushed her even further into insanity. Ultimately subverted, when she learns of his looping and helps him searching for a way to stop the looping phenomenon once and for all, and eventually they manage to do it.

Subverted is that Kiyonosuke isn't actually bitter about it, at least in the present - instead of being bitter for his brother and not Kiyonosuke himself being responsible for his accomplishments he was grateful once he realised it. And him not being the family head leaves him free to do what he wants with no responsibilities he does not care for.
