* FanGirl: Hamuko is one for [[{{Persona 4}} Risette and Naoto]].

* AllAsiansAreAlike: Inverted about Americans by Hamuko.

* {{Foreshadowing}}: [[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Foreshadowing/TheFoolsTournament Has it's own page now.]]
** [[spoiler: Minato asking Hamuko if she's going to skip flirting and go straight to raping him in chapter 14.]]
** [[spoiler: Hamuko being "afraid" of Minato after he practically "assaulted" her during the make-out session in chapter 35.]]
** [[spoiler: Hamuko nibbling on Minato's ear, even saying that she was hungry.]]
*** [[spoiler: Heck, all of chapter 35, especially the way Hamuko is acting, is foreshadowing! Even the author states it in the author notes!]]

''[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/7082084/1/The_Fools_Tournament The Fools' Tournament]]'' is a ''{{Persona 3}}'' fanfiction by {{Tropers/Shenjay}} [[hottip:*: beta read by Evilshroom, who later becomes co-writer for the final chapters]]. It's a novelization of Persona 3, with a twist. Both the male protagonist ([[FanNickname Minato]]) and the female protagonist ([[FanNickname Hamuko]]) partake in this adventure. [[hottip:*:whereas you can only play as one or the other in the game itself and the other protagonist is nonexistent.]] It's pretty straightforward... until the two learn about social links and then compete for them, causing them to try to ruin each others' social lives. HilarityEnsues.

!!!This work contains examples of:

* ForScience: Hamuko claims this is her motivation for doing some questionable things[[spoiler: [[hottip:*:examples, like teasing Yukari into thinking Hamuko and Minato are dating, or flirting with Aigis.]]]]

* [[spoiler: IncurableCoughOfDeath: Shinjiro. "The medical Chekhov's Gun. If you coughed in the first act, you can bet that you'll be dead by third."[[hottip:*:quote taken from main page.]] Shinji literally coughs during TFT, and almost dies, what do we find out later? He's been dead and that world was just a vision.]]

* ShapedLikeItself: Aigis wonders if toast tastes like toast[[hottip:*:That was the third choice. The first two were that the toast tasted like diabetes, or spring]].

* [[CutenessEqualsForgiveness Tears Equals Forgiveness]]: Averted [[hottip:*:for those thinking tears/crying equals cute/moe]], Minato tells Hamuko that crying won't solve everything.

** [[WordOfGod Shenjay even says]] that the tournament, which nearly became an ArtifactTitle after months of not being mentioned, will begin from that point onward.

* [[spoiler: BreakingTheFourthWall: The Q and A chapter, it's not so much as "breaking" the fourth wall, as Hamuko Armageddon it to oblivion and then [[ToiletHumour shat]] all over it. Aigis helped her by giving her the hammer and Minato just stood there confused, all this to the tropers' and audiences' amusement.]]
