Line #13 PlayingWith/ChasteHero


1	'''Basic Trope''': TheHero is ObliviousToLove.
2	* '''Straight''': Charles is TheHero and always defeats [[BigBad Emperor Evulz]]. Women have shown affection toward him on a number of occasions, but he's ObliviousToLove.
3	* '''Exaggerated''': Charles is a ChickMagnet with [[UnwantedHarem 100 self-proclaimed girlfriends]], but thinks of them as nothing more than TheLoad.
4	* '''Downplayed''': Charles has a canonical "LoveInterest" in [[TheHeart Alice]]. She's in love with him, but he thinks they're PlatonicLifePartners or JustFriends.
5	* '''Justified''':
6	** Charles [[DumbIsGood isn't the brightest thing on two legs]].
7	** If Charles is a KidHero, he doesn't understand the concept of love yet.
8	** Charles is UsefulNotes/{{Aromantic}}/UsefulNotes/{{Asexual}}.
9	* '''Inverted''':
10	** Charles is a CasanovaWannabe, while the women on the show are ObliviousToLove.
11	** Emperor Evulz is blind to the allure his power and charisma afford him, no matter how many would-be consorts throw themselves at his feet.
12	* '''Subverted''':
13	** It turns out that Charles understands love. He was just pretending not to understand [[CelibateHero because he's uninterested]] or UsefulNotes/{{asexual\|ity}}.
14	** Alternatively, Charles is afraid of starting a relationship, only for his enemies to [[ItsNotYouItsMyEnemies target his love interest.]] He pretends not to understand their feelings because [[GenreSavvy he's aware]] they might choose to stick with him even after explaining himself.
15	* '''Double Subverted''': His [[TheLancer even dumber sidekick]], Ivan, is still [[ObliviousToLove clueless as to why]] most women like him.
16	* '''Parodied''': Charles has ''never heard'' the word "love" before. When a woman says "I love you" and kisses him, he looks up the word "love" in a dictionary. [[TooDumbToLive Even after looking it up, he still doesn't get it.]]
17	* '''Zig Zagged''': Charles seems confused when Alice confesses to him, but happily agrees to go on a date with her. Once she's gone, [[IdiotHero he asks Bob what a "date" is.]]
18	* '''Averted''':
19	** Charles understands love and is aware that women are in love with him.
20	** No woman loves Charles.
21	* '''Enforced''': "We want to show our hero as [[CloudCuckoolander mildly insane, but lovable]]. Let's make him ObliviousToLove."
22	* '''Lampshaded''': "I love you, Charles." "Why do women keep saying that to me?"
23	* '''Invoked''': Charles knows what love is at first, but then Emperor Evulz [[UnPerson erases it from his brain]].
24	* '''Exploited''': Thanks to Charles being ObliviousToLove. A lot of succubi and seductresses wouldn't be able to seduce or charm the guy.
25	* '''Defied''': Charles asks [[WhatIsThisThingYouCallLove what "love" is]].
26	* '''Discussed''': "At least I know you're in love with me. Some airhead 'heroes' don't understand love."
27	* '''Conversed''': "Why doesn't Charles understand that those women are in love with him?"
28	* '''Deconstructed''': When Alice confesses her feelings to Charles, his confusion on the topic of love causes him to have conflicting feelings that overtake and haunt him. This confusion makes Alice think he doesn't love her, breaking her heart.
29	* '''Reconstructed''': Charles simply just tells her that the two can be JustFriends. There's no need for anything bad between them; He just feels like they could be the best of friends! Alice decides that it's simply just better to follow his advice. After all, soul mates don't have to be romantic.
30	* '''Implied''': Women often look at Charles and sigh, but he never seems to notice.
31	* '''Played For Laughs''': As a RunningGag, Charles always has to push past his UnwantedHarem to go between Troperville and Emperor Evulz's castle. (The women surround the city.) Sometimes he tells them, "Move aside, ladies, or I'll use my [[MacGuffin enchanted sword]] on you!", but it's always [[BlatantLies an empty threat]].
32	* '''Played For Drama''': It's not an empty threat; Charles [[WhatTheHellHero kills several of his lovers]] with the sword.

34	Back to ChasteHero. Also, I dunno why you keep telling me "Will you marry me" this, "You're the apple of my eye" that... It's just odd.
