History VisualNovel / DaCapoII

* TechnologyMarchesOn - In-universe example. In episode 6 of Season 1, Minatsu, a [[spoiler: highly advanced RobotGirl]], seems amazed that Yoshiyuki is able to talk on a small device known as a cellphone. Which apparently didn't exist before she was put to sleep.

** Saying about Erika, just think of [[RieKugimiya who]] voiced her...

The sequel to the first ''DaCapo'', ''DaCapoII'' is set two generations, approximately 53 years after the events of ''DaCapo''.

The sakura tree that Sakura Yoshino's grandmother had planted was again in bloom. The main protagonist is Yoshiyuki Sakurai, a second year student at Kazami Academy. Much like Junichi in ''DaCapo'', he is surrounded by his friends, [[ThoseTwoGuys two of which are male]], Wataru and Suginami, and he can also see other people's dreams. He had a friendly relationship with Yume and Otome Asakura, granddaughters of Nemu and Junichi. Yoshiyuki lives in Sakura's home, and she is now the principal of Kazami Academy. His childhood friend, Koko Tsukishima, confesses to him in the first episode and he accepts. He also accidentally awakens a robot, Minatsu Amakase, who hates all humans.

* BigFancyHouse - Mizukoshi makes a comment about growing up in one, since she's clearly related to [[TheOjou The Ojous]] of the first Da Capo, Moe and Mako. [[spoiler:Anzu]] also lives in one...entirely alone.
* {{BishoujoSeries}} - It's a DatingSim like its [[DaCapo prequel.]]

** Also, Yoshiyuki's first dream in the first episode of the second season is a callback to how Junichi had the same kind of dream (only that it involved Nemu though) in the very first episode of the first season of the original ''DaCapo''.
* CanonImmigrant - Aisia from the second season of the [[DaCapo first visual novel's]] [[TheAnimeOfTheGame anime adaptaion]] is one of the heroines in the UpdatedRerelease of the visual novel.

* ClapYourHandsIfYouBelieve - The never withering sakura tree is the physical embodiment of this. However, [[spoiler:it is exactly this in ''DaCapoII'', as it also grants impure wishes.]]

* ContinuityNod - One that doesn't go explained in the English release is the series of robot names. It's explained that Minatsu is Mi + summer, with Miaki and Mifuyu being autumn and winter respectively. So what happened to spring? Why, it's [[DaCapo Miharu]] of course.

* {{Expy}} - Most of the characters are reminiscent of characters in the original ''DaCapo'', with some of them being descended from characters in ''DaCapo'', though the only genealogies that are confirmed is that Yume and Otome are Junichi and Nemu's grandchildren, and Nanaka is related to Kotori, [[spoiler:though it's been said that Nanaka also blood-related to Junichi.]]

* GagBoobs - Some of the ladies of DaCapoII are pretty well stacked (Koko, Mizukoshi...), but Akane tops them all easily.

* IdenticalGrandson: Suginami in this series looks and sounds suspiciously like the Suginami from the first DaCapo.

* [[IllBeInMyBunk I'll Be In My Bunk]]- One possible interpretation for a scene with Yoshiyuki, Wataru and Koko where Yoshiyuki puts the image of Koko squirming in embarrassment into Wataru's head, who suddenly has to leave to take care of something. When he returns after Koko has already left, he basically comments about how he can't control his sex drive. How else are you supposed to interpret that?

* LittleSisterHeroine - Yume. A clear expy of [[DaCapo Nemu]], she remains a definite tsundere type and is largely differentiated by being less of a ClingyJealousGirl.

* OlderThanTheyLook- Sakura doesn't look like she's aged at all since DaCapo.

* SuperDeformed - The map choices for lunch time and after school have SuperDeformed pictures of the girl whose event will be at that location, averting one particular GuideDangIt from [[DaCapo the first game.]]

* TimeSkip - ''DaCapoII'' takes place 53 years after the events of ''DaCapo''.

* UpdatedRerelease - Like its [[DaCapo predecessor]], this one has updated versions with new characters and storylines, in the form of ''Plus Situation'' for the PS2 (with no adult content) and ''Plus Communication'' for the PC (with adult content).

* AMindIsATerribleThingToRead - As [[spoiler:Nanaka]] discovered. She also gets quite embarrassed when she reads what Yoshiyuki and Yume did the night before.
** In episode 7 of the anime, also happens when she tries to confess her feelings for Yoshiyuki. After getting trapped up on the roof during a typhoon, he ends up rescuing her due to a coincidence where he went back to get his notebook. She almost seems to confess her feelings for her, until he accidentally touches her hand, which causes her to understand his intention, which was [[ShipSinking purely as a friend.]]

* TheOtherDarrin - Just like its [[DaCapo predecessor]], cast swap-outs were in order for the all-ages versions and adaptations, although not to the same degree. A good number of characters kept their original voice talents.

* CashCowFranchise - The DC franchise as a whole.

* FoeYay - Suginami and Mayuki really seem to enjoy being enemies.

* ChasteTeens - The girls are all unattached. [[DatingSim Obviously.]] However, at points it is justified or averted. Nanaka is popular enough to get confessions all the time, but rejects them because the admirers are shallow and Koko is fixated on Yoshiyuki. And it's mentioned in passing outside of Minatsu's[[labelnote:*]]Read: The one that is not in love with Yoshiyuki at the start[[/labelnote]] route that she's gotten a boyfriend.

* ChasteTeens - The girls are all unattached. [[DatingSim Obviously.]] However, at points it is justified or averted. Nanaka is popular enough to get confessions all the time, but rejects them because the admirers are shallow and Koko is fixated on Yoshiyuki. And it's mentioned in passing outside of Minatsu's[[hottip:*:Read: The one that is not in love with Yoshiyuki at the start]] route that she's gotten a boyfriend.

* WhiteHairedPrettyGirl - Anzu.

** To be specific, in the original Japanese versions, his name was obscured with a random string of kanji that made no literal sense whatsoever (think transliteration of foreign languages into Chinese, or the stuff that was pulled in Musha Gundam). The trick here is that when said string is read out loud, [[{{Mondegreen}} it SOUNDS like "Garrison"]].

* PutOnABus - After Minatsu's expulsion/graduation, she and her whereabouts are not mentioned at all in the second season.

* DeadpanLoli - The trope may have been renamed, but Anzu clearly fits this mold a bit more closely due to not actually being snarky, just deadpan and something of a troll.

* ShoutOut - The minor character [[SouthPark "Garrison-sensei"]]. [[WordOfGod According to the translators of the game,]] yes, there really was a character directly referencing SouthPark in the VisualNovel.

* {{Bishoujo}} - It's a DatingSim like its [[DaCapo prequel.]]

* ZettaiRyouiki - Koko and Anzu are Grade A.

** In episode 12, [[spoiler: Minatsu saves Maya's little brother, which causes Maya to reconsider her opinion]].

** Subverted when Minatsu saved Maya's brother from being hit by a car (she gets hit instead).

* SpiritedCompetitor: Mayuki. She enjoys Suginami's pranks because of the challenge foiling him presents and at one point challenges Yoshiyuki to a literal CookingDuel when she learns he knows how to cook.
* StepfordSmiler - [[spoiler:Sakura.]]

* TheOtherDarrin - Just like its [[DaCapo predecessor]], cast swap-outs were in order for the all-ages versions and adaptations, although not to the same degree. A good number of characters kept their original voice talents.
* TheQuietOne - Anzu.
* TheTease - Anzu and Akane. Anzu in particular combines a talent for innuendos and knowledge of moe tropes to hilarious effect.

* EveryGirlIsCuterWithHairDecs - The entire female cast has something in their hair.

* Retcon - [[spoiler: Yoshiyuki in Otome and Yume's routes temporarily]]

** Sakura also meets a girl who the game seems to think you should recognize in the ending, but it doesn't tell you who she is. She's undoubtedly a character from another VN by Circus, though.

* GreenEyedMonster - Yume is rather jealous of her sister in Yume's route. Especially since he's rather {{oblivious to love}}.
