10----
11!!Tropes:
12* AffablyEvil: Aizen
13* AintTooProudToBeg: Ishida, when staring down near certain death[[spoiler: from Byakuya.]]
14* AnnoyingArrows: Earlier on, Ishida's unaugmented arrows mostly were this to Renji. To Ishida's considerable frustration.
15* AllLoveIsUnrequited: Ishida likes Orihime, Orihime likes Ichigo, and Ichigo knows nothing.
16* AwesomenessByAnalysis: Ishida.
17** Aizen and Ulquiorra count as well.
18** Urahara
19* BadassBookworm: Ishida, most of the Karakura Gang, and Aizen count to varying degrees.
20** Special mention goes to Urahara for being the one of the few people Aizen is extremely reluctant to engage.
21* BeyondTheImpossible: [[spoiler: Ichigo unlocks Bankai by sheer force of will in ten seconds. In canon, Urahara states that a minimum of three days is required using his method and it otherwise takes ''centuries''. ]]
22* BulletHell: Ishida loves to subject his enemies to this.
23* CannibalismSuperpower: [[spoiler: Aizen has Hollowified Ashido with the intention of Ashido's Hollow devouring all Hollows in existence, and then Arracnarizing him in order to gain a WorthyOpponent.]]
24* CastFromLifespan: Uryuu's modified version of the Sanrei glove training. It caused his power to swell to enormous heights, but cut his life expectancy in half.
25* CessationOfExistence: What Quincies inflict on the souls they kill when they use their powers.
26* CombatPragmatist: Many people have shades of this, but Ishida and Gin are the strongest examples in the story. The latter especially.
27* CoolSword: The Skyfather Bolt deserves its own entry.
28** BladeBelowTheShoulder
29** BowAndSwordInAccord: With the creation of the Skyfather Bolt, Ishida qualifies.
30** LaserBlade
31** PowerLimiter: The Skyfather Bolt requires so much reishi that maintaining it keeps Ishida's Letz Stil from burning out his Quincy powers. Dispelling it returns Ishida to his full Letz Stil power.
32* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: [[spoiler: Orihime and Ganjyu, most prominently.]]
33* DamagedSoul: Ishida's soul.
34* DangerousForbiddenTechnique: Letz Stil, just as in canon.
35** A Visored mask. [[spoiler: Ichigo loses control of his, and if not for Ishida's intervention would have killed innocent people.]]
36* DeaderThanDead: What happens to people a Quincy kills, and what happens to them if they're eaten by a Hollow.
37* DefeatMeansFriendship: Yoruichi and Byakuya's, to be specific.
38* {{Determinator}}: Uryuu, so very much.
39* DisabilitySuperpower: Ishida considers inducing this in himself in order to further his command over Ransotengai.
40* DistractedByTheSexy: Uryuu is briefly distracted by Yoruichi's. And by Orihime's. Hallibel's too.
41* DissonantSerenity: Ryuuken, when he [[WalkIntoMordor enters Los Noches]] in order to [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments chastise Uryuu for not attending classes.]]
42* FaceHeelTurn: [[spoiler: From the perspective of his friends, Ishida pulled one.]]
43* FriendlyRivalry: Uryuu and Ichigo have one.
44** [[spoiler: It's not so friendly anymore.]]
45* HeroesPreferSwords: Despite being an archer first and foremost, Ishida's current most potent attack is the [[CoolSword Skyfather]] [[LaserBlade Bolt.]]
46* HeroicSecondWind: Ishida got one against Byakuya as he began to understand Byakuya's conflict and saw how to persuade him to join their side.
47* HypocriticalHumor: Ishida mentally berates Ganjyu for ogling Orihime when he was doing exactly that himself just a few moments ago.
48* ImHavingSoulPains: Does Uryuu ''ever''. The pain is so bad he can't even remember his own name.
49* JerkassWithAHeartOfGold: Ishida can be this at times. Ryuuken also supposed to be this at heart, but he hides it much, much better than his progeny.
50* LockedIntoStrangeness: After Ishida's hair bleached after he finished his Sanrei training.
51* LonelyAtTheTop: By joining Yoruichi and Byakuya as one of the big players, it is implied there will be a disconnect between Uryuu and his weaker friends.
52* MagikarpPower: Implied to be a lot of Uryuu's Techniques, but special mention goes to Kido Absorption.
53* MagicMissileStorm: Essentially what Ishida pulls all the time in combat.
54* MajorInjuryUnderreaction: The flesh is flayed from Ishida's hand to the point where his fingers are shiny bone, and he barely pays it any mind.
55* MaskOfPower: [[spoiler: [[OhCrap Gin has one.]]]]
56** [[spoiler: [[OhCrap Aizen's got one.]]
57* MoralEventHorizon: [[spoiler: In-universe, Ichigo tell Ishida that if he takes away Ichigo's powers, they're through. Orihime tells Ishida that if helping him gain his powers means that he'll use them to hurt Ichigo, then she wishes she'd never met Ishida.]]
58* MoreDakka: The cornerstone of one of Ishida's most successful strategies.
59* MundaneMadeAwesome:
60** The power of a Quincy who is also a tailor!
61** [[spoiler: As Ishida, Aizen, and Tousen ascend into the sky, all three adjust their glasses.]]
62* [[MyNameIsInigoMontoya My Name Is Ichimaru Gin]]
63* NakedFirstImpression: Yoruichi's reveal to Uryuu, natch.
64* PeoplePuppets: Ishida is capable of doing this to people, but is currently unskilled at it.
65* PersonOfMassDestruction: Almost everyone.
66* PhysicalGod: Aizen and Yamamoto might as well be this. Even the extremely powerful Captains and Ishida, some of the strongest souls to ever exist, are like insects before a storm.
67* PowerDyesYourHair: Ishida's Sanrei Glove training dyed his.
68* PreAssKickingOneLiner: Uryuu loves his, and gripes to Yoruichi when she convinces him to withdraw despite him having just used one-liners that will never again be so appropriate.
69** He finally gets one fighting [[spoiler: Barragan. "Those aren't stars."]]
70* PreMortemOneLiner: [[spoiler: Ishida to Barragan.]]
71* PullingThemselvesTogether: Ishida is capable of this, to the point where he can substitute thread for entire organs. Temporarily at least.
72* PureEnergy: What Quincies use and fashion to their purposes.
73** ChargedAttack: The purpose of the Overchannel ability.
74** EnergyAbsorption: The cornerstone of how a Quincy gathers power, and Ishida is learning how to this to enemy Kido.
75** EnergyBow: Was there ever any doubt? Ishida's primary dispenser of superior firepower.
76** HomingProjectile
77** LaserBlade: Ishida has been known to pull these out every now and then.
78** RainOfArrows: Uryuu has at one point "blocked out the moon" with the amount of arrows he can fire. His rate of fire has only gone up since then.
79* RedRightHand: [[spoiler: Ishida gains one as he creates the Skyfather Bolt in order to keep his powers from burning him out. All the flesh from his hand has been obliterated in doing so and cannot be restored. Shortly after, he joins Aizen.]]
80* ScarfOfAsskicking: Byakuya gave his to Ishida.
81** [[spoiler: Upon defecting to Aizen's side, Ishida returns it.]]
82* ScaryShinyGlasses: Ishida and Ryuuken have them. Ishida takes the time to readjust them even when he's nearly the end of a climatic battle.
83* SelfStitching: Uryuu does this a lot with his Ransotengai, to extremely impressive effect. Combined with Blut Vene, he is very hard to damage and bleed out.
84* ShootTheHostage: Gin incinerates entire buildings of bystanders to get to Uryuu.
85* SoulPower: Also a good descriptor of Ishida's power, and a very accurate description of shinigami and hollow power.
86* SpecsOfAwesome: Uryuu has earned this trope.
87* TheStoic: Ishida and Ryuuken.
88** NotSoStoic: Ishida isn't nearly as stoic as he'd like to believe.
89* StoicSpectacles: Special mention must be made for Ryuuken and Uryuu, who raise this to an art form.
90* TalkingIsAFreeAction: Played with. Sometimes this is played straight.
91** [[spoiler: And sometimes you're Renji, for whom running his mouth earns him an arrow to the face.]]
92* ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill: If you think your unending storm of magic arrows isn't enough, use Blut Arterie.
93** Byakuya's assault on Ishida, before he unlocked Blut Vene, should have been this. Byakuya was extremely surprised when it was not.
94** [[spoiler: Ishida fills the sky with so many arrows that they look like stars from the ground. Then he brings them crashing down on his foe. At one point he spends several days amassing firepower, and unleashes it all on Aizen. It actually pushes Aizen to his limits to repel the full force of the attack.]]
95* ThisLooksLikeAJobForAquaman: Uryuu's modified version of the Sanrei glove training only works for him because he is the only Quincey who is also a Tailor.
96* TimeDissonance: Seems to apply to most of the long-lived shinigami, but in Uryuu's case he's become so fast that he considers being shot out of a cannon a modest speed.
97* TimeToUnlockMoreTruePotential: Was there ever any doubt?
98* TookALevelInBadass: Uryuu took lots and ''lots''. Yoruichi can't believe he actually met his goal of matching and surpassing a Captain in strength.
99** [[spoiler: Aizen's mask makes him so powerful his spiritual pressure can no longer be perceived.]]
100* TrainingFromHell: Uryuu goes through a truly horrific version of this that can charitably be described as insane and suicidal.
101* TrickArrow: Uryuu can make his arrows explode, home in on targets, and split into more arrows midflight, among other things.
102* TheUnfettered: Aizen.
103* WellDoneSonGuy: Uryuu has this relationship with his father, Ryuken.
104** [[spoiler: There are shades of this in Ishida's relationship with Aizen.]]
105* WhamEpisode:
106** [[spoiler: Aizen is the product of Urahara's first experimentation with Hougyoku and is in fact so intertwined with Hougyoku that it is debatable that they can be considered two separate entities.]]
107** [[spoiler: Ishida defects to Aizen's side.]]
