History Characters / SchoolDays

* AssholeVictim: [[spoiler:Come on, you know you were celebrating when he got killed in Episode 12.]]

* HateSink: His anime incarnation, unlike his other incarnations, is a DeconstructedCharacterArchetype of the HaremGenre lead who is deliberately made to be an unlikable VillainProtagonist. Though appearing to be a nice enough guy who's just looking for the love of Kotonoha, it is gradually made clear that he is really TheSociopath looking only to satisfy his ExtremeLibido. To that end, he strings along all the girls in his harem, shamelessly cheats on whoever he is dating at the time, and displays zero regard for any of the girls' feelings. This culminates in him cruelty rejecting Sekai, whom he flat-out ''impregnated'', by ''kissing Kotonoha right in front of her'', an action that causes her to snap and [[DeathByWomanScorned kill him afterwards]].

* HateSink: his anime self has become this and it's very clear that the show establishes how cruel and selfish he is and he gets killed viciously for his deplorable behavior.

* IdiotHair: [[WhatAnIdiot Rather fittingly]].

%%* DeathBySex:

* {{Gainaxing}}: Happens on a few occasions.

* WeaponOfChoice: A box cutter knife, which she used to stab ''Tomaru'' of all people.

** It's even worse in the game, School Days HQ, since you actually get to see [[spoiler:the tape of Nanami and Kyouichi having sex, and you find out that Kyouichi made her call him "Onii-chan" as a turn-on, that Nanami [[VocalDissonance puts on a really high, feminine, not-usually-like-her voice]] when having sex since she loves him so much, and he's planning to have her call him "Goshujin-sama" meaning "Master" the next time they make love. So in the game, not only did everyone get to watch Nanami and Kyouichi do the deed, but they're ''kinky,'' too! It's embarrassing enough that other people watched you have sex with your loved one; having other people watch you have ''role-play sex'' with your loved one has got to be '''torture'''.]]

** In ''Shiny Days'', he may successfully [[spoiler:force Kokoro to give him a blowjob.]] While the Japanese reluctantly let this pass, [[{{Bowdlerize}} these scenes were removed from the JAST USA release in order to avoid legal controversy]]...only to be added back in in a later free patch.

** In ''Shiny Days'', he may successfully [[spoiler:force Kokoro to give him a blowjob.]] While the Japanese reluctantly let this pass, [[{{Bowdlerize}} these scenes were removed from the JAST USA release in order to avoid legal controversy.]]

* {{Expy}}: Of Satsuki Shigehara from ''Large PonPon''.
** Wearing a ribbon and into [[spoiler:bondage with a whip]]? Midori Nagawa.

* BewareTheNiceOnes: Shows herself over and over again to be an extremely sympathetic and self-sacrificing person, although it's not entirely clear [[spoiler:how much of that was just a ploy to win Makoto. If it was all an act, it was an [[WhatAnIdiot amazingly]] [[IdiotPlot stupid]] [[TooDumbToLive one]].]]

* KarmaHoudini: Big fucking time. Even moreso Minami, in ''Cross Days''.

* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: They are the cause of the most infamous IdiotPlot to happen.

** Played much more '''impressively''' and straighter in ''Shiny Days'' "Rain of Carnage" ending [[spoiler:when she discovers that Makoto and Kyouichi have been raping poor Kokoro. She [[LadyOfWar kills them with her katana]], rescues Kokoro, and sets the entire building '''[[KillItWithFire ablaze]]'''.]]

* PragmaticVillainy: When considering the possibility that [[ChildhoodFriendRomance Otome is the person Makoto loves]] [[MurderTheHypoteneuse and what to do about that]], she concludes that she probably can't kill someone as athletic as Otome, who plays on the basketball team.

* WeaponOfChoice: Japanese Saw in the first game. [[spoiler:Crowbar]] or [[spoiler:Katana]] in Cross Days.
%%* WhosLaughingNow

%%* DeathBySex

* WeaponOfChoice: [[KnifeNut Knives]]

* NonindicitaveName: One meaning of "makoto" is truth/honesty, which is pretty hilarious considering who we're talking about here.

* EvenEvilHasStandards: She can become violent, manipulative, and jealous depending on how Makoto treats her, but she will never kill or physically hurt him (something Sekai will do if pushed too far). [[spoiler: If she attempts to do so (as shown in the extended version of ''Bloody End''), she'll quickly snap out of it and [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone come to realize what a horrible person she's become]]. ]] It should be noted that [[spoiler:she ''will'' kill Makoto and his friend Kyouchi in ''Summer/Shiny Days'' if she catches them raping her little sister Kokoro, but that isn't her being evil; it's her being [[BigSisterInstinct protective]]. ]]

* MurderTheHypotenuse: [[spoiler:Her saw-related bad ending and the anime GrandFinale.(though in the latter's case, Sekai wasn't really a hypotenuse anymore)]]

* SexSlave: Sort of, if she ends up in a relationship with Taisuke and Makoto completely abandons her, she completely [[EmptyShell resigns on life]] and becomes just a living sex-toy for Taisuke's lust. And Taisuke, inflamed by her gorgeous body, has sex with her on every occasion.

* AmbiguousDisorder: His bizarre lack of expressiveness, complete inability to control his sexual urges, and severely limited understanding of the thoughts and feelings of others suggests that there's ''something'' wrong with him, though what exactly is never discussed. At his absolute worst, he verges into TheSociopath territory. It is at least partly due to the negative traits he inherited from his vile father.

* AbsoluteCleavage: Her normal attire in Summer/Shiny Days shows a really large amount of cleavage. Her red dress in Cross Days averts this trope.

* MsFanservice: Oh yes she is. See AbsoluteCleavage and BuxomIsBetter above.

* IllGirl: It's later revealed that she [[spoiler: suffers a chronic illness]].

* LikeFatherLikeSon: Even though he [[YouAreWhatYouHate hates]] [[ArchnemesisDad the man,]] Makoto has ''a lot'' in common with his father Tomaru. Their [[ReallyGetsAround legendary]] [[AnythingThatMoves lust,]] for example, being the most prominent. There's also their tendency of banging people they're related to, though in Makoto's case, he [[ParentalIncest (usually)]] [[SurpriseIncest has no idea that he's related to a number of his love interests.]] Oh, and in some of the more [[DownerEnding infamous routes,]] the utter ''[[BastardBoyfriend lack]]'' [[BastardBoyfriend of respect towards their partners (as shown with them viewing women as merely objects to use for sex)]] is another trait they share.

* TheCameo: They make a brief appearance in the anime finale. They also get a passing mention in one of Hikari's endings as new first-years in Sakakino High [[spoiler: who want to try out Makoto in bed for themselves]].

* ChivalrousPervert: [[AvertedTrope Averted]] in the anime adaptation and [[AvertedTrope averted]] ''[[UpToEleven hard]]'' in the ''Cross Days'' manga. In the visual novel, while he typically has no problems screwing anyone who gives him an invitation, it's shown that he's at least capable of putting someone else's feelings above his own. In one route, [[spoiler:he'll temporarily break up with Kotonoha because he feels that his carnal desires are hurting her.]] Of course, exactly how chivalrous her turns out be depends entirely on the player's choices.

* GayOption: for [[spoiler: Yuuki]] in ''Cross Days''

* HiddenEyes: Displayed by him a few times.

* IdiotHair: [[WhatAnIdiot Rather fittingly.]]

** [[spoiler:Taken UpToEleven in ''Cross Days'' and its manga adaptation. She is so paranoid and insecure about her relationship with Makoto that she views any female getting too close to him as a threat, even if said person is trying to help her out.]]

* ACupAngst: Setsuna is pretty short and underdeveloped for her age and is rather self-conscious about it.
** Taken UpToEleven in ''Summer Days''/''Shiny Days'', in which Setsuna works at Radish Restaurant in place of Sekai and has to wear a {{Stripperiffic}} uniform while working alongside the much [[BuxomIsBetter bustier]] Oruha and Noan. Also, the game introduces Kazuha, Futaba, and Karen, who are not only younger than her but also much more developed.

[[folder: Uzuki Ii]]
!!'''Uzuki Ii'''

Kokoro's classmate.

[[/folder]]

* {{Stripperiffic}}: The waitress uniforms that they wear.

* SecretRelationship: Has this with Yuuki in ''Cross Days''' "Lies and Lies Pile Up" ending.

* StrongFamilyResemblance: With their sister, Hanon.

* NamedAfterSomebodyFamous: The Ashikaga Clan.
* NerdGlasses: Large, circular ones, to be exact.

* RedOniBlueOni: The blue to Makoto's red.

* NamedAfterSomebodyFamous: The Kitsuregawa Clan.

* OfficialCouple: With Yuki if he doesn't pursue Ai [[spoiler: or Makoto]]. [[spoiler: And in the ''Cross Days'' manga.]]

* SecondLove: To Yuki after Kotonoha.

* GreenEyedMonster: Towards Nanami due to the latter's natural athleticism.

* NamedAfterSomebodyFamous: The Ashikaga Clan.

* EyesAlwaysShut: Youka.

* ThreeWaySex: [[spoiler:With Yuki.]]

* {{Otaku}}: Especially {{Eroge}}.

* KarmaHoudini: [[spoiler: Along with Ion and Youka.]]

* [[IdenticalTwinIDTag Not Twin But Still Identical ID Tag]]: Hanon wears blue.

* PunnyName[=/=]ThemeNaming: Her name contains the kanji "葉" like her sisters. The "non" part is likely a pun for "none", in other words, zero.

* UncannyFamilyResemblance: Taken UpToEleven.

* HopelessSuitor: To [[spoiler:Yuuki]].

%%* DeathByWomanScorned: [[spoiler:Probably the most infamous example in anime.]]

* DeathByWomanScorned: [[spoiler:Probably the most infamous example in anime.]]

* ReallyGetsAround: He's an hedonistic pervert who's more than willing to sleep with several women while still being an relationship and which makes him a super shady {{Slimeball}}.
** The original visual novel actually [[AvertedTrope averts]] this, for the most part. While he can still be an unfaithful asshole, he'll usually only sleep with Sekai and/or Kotonoha (ThirdOptionLoveInterest not withstanding). One notable ending does play this trope straight; however, but it is PlayedForDrama as Makoto is using the sex to cope with losing Sekai and is clearly ''very'' unhappy.
* RedOniBlueOni: The red to Yuuki's blue in ''Cross Days''.

** Ditto with ''Cross Days''' manga adaptation.

* FreudianExcuse: Constantly bullied by no less than five girls[[note]]In some routes, even more than that[[/note]], with other people constantly abusing her insecurity. She finally meeting people who treat her with genuinely kindness, only to have the same people stab her in the back, and [[spoiler:is raped by a person she thought she could sort of trust (her boyfriend's BromanticFoil), and finding out her boyfriend was dancing with her best friend while she was being raped]]. In a few possibilities, being cruelly dumped after the former mentioned event. Is it any wonder she snaps the way she does on the bad endings?

* [[spoiler:EvenTheGirlsWantHer: Has a scene with with Roka in ''Cross Days'']]

* DemotedToExtra: In the manga.

* LaserGuidedKarma: During middle high, [[spoiler:she intervened and prevented Ai and Makoto from successfully confessing their feelings.]] As karma falls back, she failed in her own confession for him too.

* ThemeNaming: With her mother, [[YamatoNadeshiko]]

* PluckyComicRelief: especially in the anime.

* UsedToBeASweetKid: [[spoiler:Until he was raped by Kei…]]
