History Manga / TrinitySeven

** In the first light novel, Arata and Lilith are having a romantic moment at the academy's garden during the night. They're about to kiss only for the rest of Trinity Seven and Selina to reveal they have been watching the whole time. Arata was more than happy to continue where they left off, but Lilith goes ballistic with her machine gun and knocks everyone out with sleep bullets.

* BalancedHarem: All the girls of Trinity Seven are crucial to the plot because they're fundamental for Arata's progression as a Demon Lord candidate as he acquires their archives by becoming closer to them. All of the Trinity Seven are prominent and get plenty of screentime. Some other girls who aren't part of Trinity Seven and also love Arata, like Hijiri and Anastasia, are relevant too.

* BreakingTheFourthWall: It's lampshaded from chapter to chapter.
* BridalCarry: Arata carries some girls like Mira, Liese, Arsha, and Anna bridal-style at different points. And in all cases the girls are naked.

* BuxomBeautyStandard: Arata seems to think so. Though smaller ones have their own charm too.

* {{Ninja}}: Levi. Her CatchPhrase is :"Because I'm a ninja", even if it has nothing to do with the situation.

* AntiMagic: Arata's power.

* BalancedHarem: All the girls of Trinity Seven are crucial to the plot and fundamental for Arata's progression as a Demon Lord candidate as he acquires their archives by becoming closer to them. Lilith gets the main heroine treatment more than the others, but all the Trinity Seven are important to Arata and get plenty of screentime. Some other girls who aren't part of Trinity Seven and also love Arata, like Hijiri and Anastasia, are relevant too.

* BorrowedCatchphrase: The OVA has Arata borrowing Arin's {{catchphrase}}, "This is difficult," when they're being scolded by Lilith and Arin hasn't thought of a way out other than enduring it.

* CatchPhrase:

* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: The Headmaster.

* EmotionlessGirl: Arin, for the most part, in stark contrast to her Thema, Wrath.

* GingerbreadHouse: The demon commander Arbariccia, controlling the body of a CuteWitch, lives at a house made of candy.

* HandsomeLech: Arata and the Headmaster.
* HaremSeeker: Arata, sort of.

* HotTeacher: Lilith.

* IceQueen: How Levi describes Lilith before Arata came in, and Mira, who shows this a lot during the early chapters of the manga.

* TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers: The headmaster's words to Arata about Trinity Seven: "Meet them, fight them, and violate them".

* LittleMissBadass: Levi.
* LittleMissSnarker: Levi.

*** And then there's her fight with the headmaster at the end of the episode, who is so much more powerful that he dispels all of her attacks with ease, and even gives her pointers on how to be stronger.

* ReiAyanamiExpy: Arin.

** [[ThePowerOfHatred Wrath]] (Ira): Arin, TheStoic.

* HenshinHero: Use of magic requires entering Magus Mode, which involves opening one's Grimoire, an InstantCostumeChange into a (cooler or sexier) outfit, and conjuring any required tools. (Lilith, for example, goes from her more conservative preferred clothes to A-grade ZettaiRyouiki, a tight white sleeveless blouse and short tie, and full-length OperaGloves, plus {{BFG}}.) Leaving Magus Mode returns one's clothing to normal -- unless one has been forcibly returned to normal by Arata's AntiMagic, of course. The only exception to this is Levi, who doesn't seem to change outfits at all when she activates her Magus mode. Coincidentally, she is also the only of the Trinity Seven who Arata hasn't forcibly stripped naked via his AntiMagic.

-->-- '''Lilith Azami'''

It turns out that this world was an illusory recreation of Astil Manuscript, a [[LoyalPhlebotinum grimoire]] the ''real'' Hijiri left behind when the Black Sun appeared and triggered the "Breakdown Phenomenon" which destroyed his hometown only three days before. He was eventually confronted by Lilith Azami, a crimson-haired girl he (and the fake Hijiri) met earlier, who forces him to choose either dispelling the illusion, surrendering the grimoire, and having all his memories of his past life erased... or be executed on the spot for creating the illusion in the first place. However, when the fake Hijiri confesses that the real one is still alive, Arata decides to TakeAThirdOption: keep the grimoire, become a magician, save Hijiri ''and'' stay alive through it all.

* ActionGirl: Levi and Akio above all others, though Lilith is plenty capable with her magic guns. To a lesser extent virtually every named female character qualifies.

* ChekhovMIA: It's mentioned early on that the seventh of the Trinity Seven went missing a year or two ago. [[spoiler:That's Liese.]]

** In the same OVA he later turns down Lilith when she offers to have sex with him so he can learn about her magic thema, Lust. He explicitly points out that since everyone's thema is the opposite of their personality, it means Lilith doesn't want to be lustful.
* ClassicalElementsEnsemble: In Levi's spin-off, Ryuhime has four ninja spirits which each having one of the four ElementalPowers of Chinese mythology: Itsukihime has the power of GreenThumb (Wood), Homurahime has PlayingWithFire powers (Fire), Sakaihime has DishingOutDirt abilities (Earth), and Sumihime has MakingASplash abilities (Water). Ryuhime herself rounds uot the FiveManBand by possessing the element of gold (Metal).

* DeadpanSnarker: Arin.

** Levi takes on Liselotte in episode 6 to give Mira time to use her scan ability and select the appropriate counter to use on her.

* EmotionlessGirl: Arin, for the most part

* FunctionalMagic: Mages use different magic processes and styles according to the thema of their research.

* IAmNotLeftHanded: Levi does this a few times against Liselotte in episode 6. Several of her attacks manage to nearly land against the latter, and when she attempts to teleport, Levi's SuperSpeed is able to keep up with wherever she goes.

* InTheNameOfTheMoon: The Trinity and Arata's transformations begin with this: "Connecting to the [insert name] Archive, executing my thema".

* KickChick: Akio's primary means of magic delivery is via devastating kick.

** Liselotte has this look from time to time in episode 6 when it seems Mira and Levi have the upper hand. The others also have this look when Liselotte seems to be have the advantage.

* OvershadowedByAwesome: Selina ''is'' a magus, but she's an ordinary one, unlike the rest of the cast.

* PiggybackCute: In Chapter 21/Episode 9, Arata and Mira need to climb a ladder, but she's GoingCommando due to ClothingDamage earlier. Arata then decides to climb with Mira on his back

* PowerAtAPrice: [[spoiler:Liese's ultimate spell allows her to [[TimeStandsStill freeze time]], but it risks trapping her for good. Arata promises Selina to bring her sister back. He keeps his promise]]
** It's implied every Last Crest involves the user taking massive risks for similarly massive power. More than a few mages choose to broaden their power base by exploring other Themas rather than seek out something so dangerous, even if they could potentially achieve the power to become one of the Trinity Seven.

* PowerStereotypeFlip: Magic operates irrationally and without "common sense", so a regular mage can only use it by working with a thema that is ''absent'' from their normal personality makeup.

* SevenDeadlySins: The archives from which magi can derive a thema are based on them and even the [[DangerousForbiddenTechnique Last Crest]] of each archive is named after the patron demons governing them. However, his/her thema is actually the opposite of his/her actual personality.

** [[VillainousGlutton Gluttony]] (Gula): Akio, a lithe and fit KickChick.
** {{Greed}} (Avaritia): Yui, a humble girl [[IJustWantToHaveFriends who only wants to have friends]].

* TeamTitle: The titular Trinity Seven are a set of seven powerful magi who have learned the DangerousForbiddenTechnique at the heart of each of their magic Archives, one for each type. All the current group are students at Royal Biblia Academy.

* FourElementEnsemble: In Levi's spin-off, Ryuhime has four ninja spirits which each having one of the four ElementalPowers of Chinese mythology:
** Itsukihime - [[GreenThumb Wood]]
** Homurahime - [[PlayingWithFire Fire]]
** Sakaihime - [[DishingOutDirt Earth]]
** Sumihime - [[MakingASplash Water]]

** {{Envy}} (Invidia): Levi, a {{Ninja}} with no high expectations of others.

** {{Wrath}} (Ira): Arin, TheStoic.

* BareYourMidriff: Akio tends to only have the top few buttons of her shirt done up, leaving her belly exposed.

* BuxomIsBetter: Arata seems to think so. Though smaller ones have their own charm too.

* NiceHat: Lilith always has a little beret-like hat, in or out of Magus Mode.

* ProtagonistCenteredMorality: Arata's Breakdown Phenomenon causes people to ''disintegrate'', yet the only person he shows any concern about is Hijiri. Arin deliberately triggers one in episode 2, causing some of the student body to literally melt, and yet come next episode [[EasilyForgiven she and Arata have a wacky summer break episode tending to a beach shack]].

** In the Dante's Gate arc, Arata and the Trinity Seven plus Selina are scattered across the circles of Hell where they must face one of the Malebranche's demon generals.
** It happens again the Battle Against the Gods arc where [[spoiler:the heroes are defeated by the goddess Aryan Celes. Arata, the Trinity Seven and the few surviving Adjudicators are sent to separate dimensions in order to prepare themselves for the rematch against Aryan Celes and her god's kin that have possessed most of the Adjudicators.]]

** In the first light novel, Arata and Lilith are having a romantic moment at the academy's garden during the night. They're about to kiss only for the rest of Trinity Seven and Selina to reveal they have been wayching the whole time. Arata was more than happy to continue where they left off, but Lilith goes ballistic with her machine gun and knocks everyone out with sleep bullets.

* BalancedHarem: Lilith is the main heroine who is the closest to Arata, but he shows a fair share of attention to all the girls, and the manga seems to be aiming for a [[MarryThemAll Harem Ending]] (which is apparently how Trinity Seven is supposed to work).

* ImmortalityStartsAtTwenty: In the first light novel, Lilith explains to Arata that very powerful maguses stop their aging processes at the prime of their youth. Arata and the Trinity Seven might have already stopped aging.

* PowerPerversionPotential: When Arata discusses learning how to focus his AntiMagic attack to hit single targets, the others (not unreasonably) assume it's because he wants to be able to disrobe them more effectively.
