1Tropes which appear in ''Jean's Magical Education'', the fifth story in the ''Fanfic/TouhouDoujinDawitsusFolly'' fanfic series.
2
3Note that YMMV tropes should go on the [[YMMV/TouhouDoujinDawitsusFolly YMMV page]] for the series.
4----
5* AccidentalPervert: Believe it or not, robotic hands. Some of Nitori's robotic arms are programmed to massage anyone who moves on their allocated table. Hatate happens to wake up on one of these and instantly the hands get to work on stripping her and wrapping her in a towel. Fortunately Nitori stops this [[{{Fanservice}} madness.]]
6* [[ThrowItIn Ad Libbing:]] In-Universe, by Yutaka when trying to check up on Reimu.
7* AllJustADream: Both Chen and Dawitsu think this of reality at some point, and are disappointed when they find out they're wrong.
8* AllLoveIsUnrequited: Name-dropped by [[GenreSavvy Dawitsu]].
9* AloneWithThePsycho: The opening of Chapter 17 pretty much centers around [[spoiler:Reimu, Jean, Marisa, and Yutaka all playing on the Dawitsu Mansion's VideoGame/{{Portal}} floor, while not knowing Medicine Melancholy is waiting to attempt to kill them.]]
10* [[AndImTheQueenOfSheba And I'm The Queen Of Sheba]]: Reimu denies trying to kiss Jean [[DudeShesLikeInAComa while he's sleeping]] and thus Marisa claims that there are flying pigs in Gensokyo. Jean replies that considering the strange stuff he's witnessed in Gensokyo, [[ArbitrarySkepticism it isn't that unlikely]] that [[CueTheFlyingPigs pigs may fly.]]
11* AndNowYouMustMarryMe: Flandre again, innocent-like again.
12* AndYourLittleDogToo: Medicine Melancholy almost quotes the trope name, 'And when I do, I'll kill you... and your little human, too!', as well as 'I'm going to kill you... and your fellow tengu reporter too!'.
13* AnIcePerson: Dawitsu uses freezing powers to [[spoiler:extinguish the part of the Forest of Magic's fire that's closest to Alice's house.]]
14* AnythingYouCanDoICanDoBetter: The reason Hebiko begins writing is simply because Tokage's writing is so [[{{Squick}} god-awful]] that she is ''sure'' she can do better.
15* AppealToFlattery: Hatate tries this on Yukari, but less successfully than Dawitsu. It seems [[CharacterDevelopment she's learnt her lesson.]]
16* ArmorPiercingQuestion: A boy in Dawitsu's class asks Dawitsu when he's teaching sex ed whether Dawitsu keeps looking at Yutaka due to testosterone... Dawitsu doesn't know how to respond.
17* [[AscendedFanboy Ascended Fangirl:]] Tokage desperately wants the approval of Yukari for her Dawikari fanfiction.
18* AttentionWhore: Dawitsu, upon hearing that [[spoiler:Jean is Myouren's reincarnation.]] He begins a jealous rant about how ''he's'' the [[ItsAllAboutMe main character]] and that ''he's'' the best original character. [[ConflictBall He even starts a fight over it.]]
19* AwfulWeddedLife: Dawitsu takes the cynical approach to marriage, and says that if he ''did'' ask Yutaka to marry him in the past, that the marriage would probably be loveless. Yutaka superficially agrees with him, but according to the narration, she's [[UndyingLoyalty lying.]]
20* AwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachOther: Remilia shows Flandre how much she cares [[spoiler:by finishing ''Literature/OfMiceAndMen'' with her, letting her cry if she wants to.]]
21* BadassTeacher: Dawitsu has shades of this.
22* [[BeQuietNudge "Be Quiet!" Nudge]]: In the form of elbowing Jean in the gut, courtesy of Marisa.
23* BerserkButton: Mentioning Kaguya to Mokou is a death wish.
24* BewareTheNiceOnes: Asking who the 'cute girl' is when referring to Yutaka, and then asking how old she is, when you happen to be a ten-year old boy, will earn you a BRUTAL scolding from Yutaka. Do ''not'' hit on her. Also, Reimu treats Dawitsu like crap while he's ''trying to comfort her'' and prompts this response from him, '[[BigShutUp FOR GOD'S SAKE, SHUT UP!]]' and he proceeds to rant about how idiotic her logic on men is. Done a second time with Yutaka [[spoiler:when Dawitsu reveals he told Ran it's okay if she leaves him. Yutaka pours boiling tea in his face, and yells about how [[ObliviousToLove stupid]] he is for not noticing that Ran loves him...]]
25* BigDamnKiss: Reimu to Jean, albeit [[SubvertedTrope Jean REALLY doesn't want it.]]
26* BiggerOnTheInside: Marisa mentions that the Dawitsu Mansion feels this way, Yutaka claiming it's due to her "[[TechnoBabble localised space compression technique]]".
27* BilingualBonus: Anything said by Jean in French. A pretty hilarious example comes from Jean, while [[FridgeBrilliance cooking mushrooms]], singing '[[Music/{{Queen}} Nous sommes le champignons, nous sommes le champignons, pas le temps pour les perdants, parce que nous sommes le champignons... du monde...]]', as he's not actually singing 'We are the Champions', but '[[WordSaladLyrics we are the mushrooms]]', a joke [[ComicallyMissingThePoint comically missed]] by a reviewer. Also, Dawitsu's sentences in French are [[WordSaladHumor total gibberish]] when translated.
28* BlatantLies: All of Marisa's attempts to justified her breaking and entering of the Dawitsu Mansion.
29* BluntMetaphorsTrauma: Jean, again. A particularly hilarious example is when he tells Mokou and Marisa (who have recently fought) to "[[JustForFun/IThoughtItMeant Kiss and]] [[LesYay make out]]". Also, Dawitsu can't say French sentences properly [[spoiler:when disguising as Jean.]]
30* BreadEggsMilkSquick: Yutaka tries to synthesize milk from its main components: lactic acid, water, lactose, fat, [[{{Squick}} white blood cell debris, a trace of skin, various antibiotics]]... sadly, this is actually [[TruthInTelevision quite accurate.]]
31* BreakingTheFourthWall: Marisa and Dawitsu do it as usual, but this book is notable in that Reimu also does it.
32* BrownBagMask: Reimu has a varient on this. After the {{Paparazzi}} catch her BigDamnKiss with Jean, she's so ashamed that she wears a pot on her head.
33* CallingYourAttacks: As usual, but this time [[LampshadeHanging lampshaded]] by Jean [[BilingualBonus in French.]]
34* ChildrenAreInnocent: [[AvertedTrope Averted]]. While not out-and-out evil, the kids in Dawitsu and Yutaka's class are ''far'' from naive.
35* CloneDegeneration: Dawitsu's [[SuperDeformed Chibi Clones]] are said to have a life expectancy of two days, after which they 'disintigrate'.
36* CoolTeacher: Dawitsu tries to be this and fails.
37* [[ComeOutComeOutWhereverYouAre Come Out, Come Out, Wherever You Are:]] A non-villainous example. Patchouli asks this of Flandre when walking into an empty basement, but [[spoiler:Flandre isn't hiding. She's escaped. [[HereWeGoAgain Again.]]]]
38* ComicallyMissingThePoint: Tokage doesn't seem to understand that showing a fanfiction involving real people to ''the person she's writing about'' is... a tad strange and could have drastic results.
39* ContinuityPorn: So, you thought [[spoiler:Dawitsu eating Minoriko Aki]] was a throwaway gag? Think again.
40* CovertPervert: It may be just a small joke, but there's nothing ''forcing'' Eirin to stick a thermometer in Kaguya's mouth and inspect her mouth with a gloved hand just to tell if she's [[HollywoodPudgy fat]] or not...
41* [[CrackOhMyBack Crack! Oh, My Back!]]: [[InvertedTrope Inverted.]] Yukari stamps on Dawitsu's back while he's on the floor, causing it to snap, but Dawitsu explains that she's just ''fixed'' a back cramp he's had all day.
42* CrackPairing: In-universe. Hatate has a couple of these, and Aya even [[LampshadeHanging calls them]] "Crack Pairings".
43* CrazyPrepared: Nitori's house is filled with many traps, including robotic hands and sleeping gas, and almost every room of hers has CCTV. The same robotic hands can be used to massage guests, so she's even prepared in more than one way...
44* CreepyShadowedUndereyes: Byakuren gets 'panda eyes', but not due to being villainous, but due to being tired. Tokage also gains them by being an [[TheInsomniac obsessive writer]].
45* CurbStompBattle: Reimu's severe beating of Dawitsu, which involves sending him ''through her roof'', meeting him in the air, and smacking him away like a baseball with her Gohei through his mansion's window.
46* DeadpanSnarker: Jean, whenever he speaks [[BilingualBonus French]], is either being emotional or snarky. Of course, people in Gensokyo don't know French, and are [[IgnoranceIsBliss gladly unaware of what he has to say.]]
47* DeathByDespair: [[InvertedTrope Inverted.]] [[spoiler:Medicine Melancholy gets badly damaged, and due to SympathyForTheDevil, Jean, Yutaka, Dawitsu, Reimu, Marisa, Ran, and Chen all decide to have her smaller doll ([[{{Fanon}} her 'mind']]) repaired, thus they send her to Alice. Alice treats Medicine with affection and kindness, playing with her as a doll, the exact opposite to the abandonment that caused her to become a youkai in the first place. The result? She experiences true happiness for the first, and last time.]]
48* DeathSeeker: Mokou is certainly one.
49* DeepSleep: Hatate sleeps through KOGASA BREAKING THROUGH HER WINDOW TO SURPRISE HER.
50* DefeatMeansFriendship: Dawitsu and Jean fight, but after are simply talking about 'guy stuff'. As the narration [[LampshadeHanging lampshades]]; 'Dawitsu and Jean were talking 'guy stuff' with each other in Marisa's study, seemingly totally oblivious to the fact that merely moments ago, the two were shooting magic laser beams and bullets at each other without mercy.'
51* DeliveryStork: Flandre still believes in this, and asks Patchouli and Yutaka when the stork is going to give them a baby. [[ImpossibleTask Which, of course, can't happen with a Lesbian couple,]] though [[FridgeBrilliance adoption is a similar idea to the delivery stork.]]
52* DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment: This line by Dawitsu: 'Also, I'm pretty sure that Yukari's pretty...', with pretty being used both times as the same meaning (he gets interrupted, and was most likely going to add 'angry' to the end.)
53* {{Determinator}}: Dawitsu, at first. He insists he wont give up on teaching, though he does [[KnowWhenToFoldEm learn to fold 'em.]]
54* DirtyKid: Sosake, a kid at Keine's School- he clearly finds both Yutaka and Keine attractive.
55* DisproportionateRetribution: Medicine Melancholy doggedly pursues Jean and tries to kill him only because he happened to be around when Flandre accidentally smashed her latest body to smithereens.
56* DissonantSerenity: [[spoiler:Medicine escapes from [[SealedEvilInACan her can]] and proceeds to attack the one who sealed her in there, Hatate, and decides to kill Aya too due to her being a witness, and assures her it's nothing personal. Aya responds with, 'Oh yeah, of course, I guess if I were in your situation, I'd also want to kill the... [[ZigZaggedTrope WHAT AM I SAYING?]] No! I don't want to die!']]
57* DoesNotKnowHisOwnStrength: [[DiscussedTrope Discussed]] by Remilia and Flandre [[spoiler:when they finish ''Literature/OfMiceAndMen'' together.]]
58* DoesNotLikeMen: Remilia has shades of this. Yutaka jokingly [[PlayingWithTropes plays with]] this trope, saying the reason she's a lesbian is because men are egotistical. Of course, she's being satirical.
59* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: Dawitsu tells Flandre an obviously plagiarized story- [[Literature/HaruhiSuzumiya 'The Melon's curry and Harold E. Suzie Mia.']] As you can tell, [[BlatantLies it's totally about fruit curry.]]
60* DoubleEntendre: One that you'll miss the first read through- Marisa gets refused access to the Dawitsu mansion's books, and she says to Yutaka, "Hey, I was starting to like you more than Patchy! She's rubbed off on you, hasn't she?" to which Yutaka replies, "[[LesYay I guess you could say that...]]"
61* [[DudeShesLikeInAComa Dude, He's Like, In A Coma!:]] Marisa trying to steal a kiss with Jean... while he's sleeping. Reimu does the same, but the moment's [[MomentKiller killed]] by the [[HypocriticalHumor previous culprit.]]
62* DyingAlone: Yutaka refuses the Dawitsu Mansion rather modestly (Dawitsu wanted to give it to her in his will in case he dies.) and says 'Boss... I can't accept this. I... shouldn't get the mansion. That belongs to Tomasu... or your children, should you ever have any...', and Dawitsu wryly replies 'And who would I have kids with, eh? Are you gonna volunteer?'. Yutaka quite clearly sees the poorly-hidden message of his speech, an inherent fear of DyingAlone. Yutaka tries to comfort him by saying 'You never know, perhaps someone will come along...' but is still upset with her boss' pessimism.
63* EldritchAbomination: Tokage's fanfic seems to inherently be one, as the only person who hasn't vomited or almost vomited at the sight of it was Yukari, an EldritchAbomination in AFormYouAreComfortableWith.
64* EEqualsMCHammer: [[AvertedTrope Averted]], beyond perhaps the music lessons (which may be a little advanced for compulsory school), Dawitsu and Yutaka's teaching of the human village school children is not only shown in detail, but is around correct in level for people aged ten.
65* EnemyMine: A strange example is which, due to the [[BlueandOrangeMorality oddness of Tengu society]], Aya and Hatate end up quarelling over who took the picture Reimu and Jean's BigDamnKiss first, and they eventually settle ([[ItMakesSenseInContext to avoid diplomatic defeat]]) to work together and form 'The Bunbunmaru Spirt News'. Also, after being slandered by the aforementioned newspaper, Dawitsu and Yukari put aside their differences to get revenge on Hatate and Aya.
66* EnergyWeapon: Jean learns how to fire [[http://duwee-davisii.deviantart.com/#/d55fd10 THE frickin laser beam.]]
67* EpicFail: Kogasa's attempt to make a 'Parakasa' by abandoning a parasol. She dumps it in a river declaring no-one will ever find it, and ''five seconds'' later an unseen person in the river (presumably a Kappa) says 'OW! Oh, what's this? A parasol? Oh, I wonder if I can extract the iron from the handle?'.
68* EroticDream: Marisa assumes Jean is having one of Byakuren, and tries to take advantage of this by kissing him in his sleep- this is [[spoiler:not the case- he's seeing Byakuren as a [[ThisIsWrongOnSoManyLevels sister]], not a lover, and thus gets very, ''very'' panicked when a real life kiss comes in.]]
69* EvenEvilHasStandards: Dawitsu complains about Tokage's perversion, and says 'she is ''the biggest pervert I've come across.'' And I've met perverts! Hell, ''I'm'' a pervert, but she... oh God...', and proceeds to tell about how she invaded his bed to check out his [[UnusualEuphemism man-carrot.]] Also, when Hebiko and Tokage are arguing over whether {{Fanfic}} should be nauseatingly romantic or not, even ''Tokage'' agrees with Hebiko that the Harem Fic suggested by a Cat Youkai is 'just sick'. Also [[SubvertedTrope subverted]] by Aya and Hatate when they tell Alice that there are some gossip-based subjects even ''they'' won't touch. Upon being asked to name one, they are at a loss, and simply tell Alice to shut up.
70* EvenTheGirlsWantHer: Marisa claims that ''she herself'' is this after both Reimu and Jean stare at her rain-dance with awe.
71* EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: Yutaka and Dawitsu discuss Yutaka's ([[SubvertedTrope and Yutaka's alone]]) tendency to call Dawitsu 'Boss' instead of by his name, and she says that she's so used to calling him 'Boss' that she couldn't really call him anything else.
72%%%%* EvilIsHammy: Medicine Melancholy.
73* EvilLaugh: Marisa repeatedly 'cackles' in this book. It's like the author suddenly noticed Marisa is a witch.
74* ExpendableClone: Dawitsu's chibi clones are treated like this, but [[JustifiedTrope in fairness]], their life expenctancy is only short.
75* FacePalm: One is delivered by Jean. Yukari does this many times also. Marisa, as well. It's like the cast became [[DeadpanSnarker Deadpan Snarkers...]]
76* FanFic: In-universe. Dawitsu sarcastically encourages a Dawikari-shipping Lizard Youkai that [[NominalImportance gets a name]] once we find out she not only starts writing a fanfiction, but encourages others to do the same and even gets her own book (The Forbidden Love of Yukari Yakumo)
77* FanOfUnderdog: Yutaka is apparently this, and shows as much by letting, of all the boys in her teaching group with a crush on her, the slightly overweight kid and the stuttering kid hold her hand as part of an exercise on electricity, infuriating the other boys.
78* {{Fanservice}}: Aya and Hatate getting massaged, if you like that sort of thing. Also, Kaguya in a tiny, cleavage-enhancing dress normally worn by rabbit youkai.
79* FantasticRacism: Reimu considers Medicine Melancholy not 'a person' on the grounds that she's a Youkai.
80* FauxSymbolism: In-universe. A squirrel youkai is writing a FanFic about Dawitsu, and has him wear a feather boa. She justifies her choice of wear to Dawitsu by claiming it 'symbolizes his sensitive side'. Dawitsu responds by saying it's about as symbolic as a lamppost.
81* FeigningIntelligence: Dawitsu does this occasionally, reading a double meaning to one of Yukari's insults, thinking she was showing a nicer side and trying to comfort him.
82* FelonyMisdemeanor: Hatate's paper gaining popularity, again. Aya publishes an article about it, stating "Libellous Newspaper gains popularity, [[TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt Apocalypse at hand!]]" Also, Kaguya seems legitimately frightened of 'Humans in space suits that bear a flag with fifty stars and thirteen stripes'.
83** Though, for Kaguya, it makes sense: what event started the invasion of the Moon in Touhou canon?
84* FlyingBroomstick: Jean gets one, just like Marisa.
85* FreudianCouch: Yutaka's thoughts are once drawn to the idea of her standing over Reimu, lying on a couch after the shrine maiden discusses her and Jean's story during her HeroicSafeMode.
86* FreudianSlip: Dawitsu when getting an outfit for Yutaka to wear ''as a teaching assistant''- after she refuses to wear a schoolgirl outfit, Dawitsu says 'Fine, I'll get you a teacher's hat and a [[OfCorsetsSexy corset]]... er... [[LameRhymeDodge jacket!]]'. He also tells Flandre that he's been 'a terrible father to her'.
87* FriendToAllChildren: Yutaka plays this straight, being HotTeacher to the boys and an idol to the girls. Dawitsu [[InvertedTrope Inverts]] this, trying to be cool and loved by the kids, but gets spitballs fired at him, and is overall mocked and hated by the kids, the boys mainly.
88* FutureLoser: Kaguya. Once a princess. Now a lazy, [[HollywoodPudgy overweight]] kotatsu-dwelling do-nothing.
89* GadgeteerGenius: Nitori, as well as a freakin' badass.
90* GamerChick: Once again, Ran. Her game-of-the-moment this time is VideoGame/{{Mother 3}}.
91* GetOut: Dawitsu pulls this on one of the kids he's teaching.
92* TheGift: Reimu is described as being a natural with Danmaku by Marisa, who follows by [[DeconstructedTrope deconstructing]] this idea by saying that because she's such a natural, she's never really trained or taught herself, and so will be no good for teaching Jean danmaku.
93* GilliganCut: Surprisingly in literary form. Aya says there is no way she'll try out Nitori's massaging robot hands, and an hour passes, and she's saying how good the massage is ([[{{Fanservice}} while being massaged.]])
94* GoodWithNumbers: Dawitsu, surprisingly. He almost instantly figures out that sixty-nine hours is around three days after Hatate states it's nearly six.
95* [[GRatedDrug G-Rated Drug:]] Aya snorting ink again. Also [[AvertedTrope averted]] with [[spoiler:Alice giving Opium to Medicine Melancholy as pain relief while fixing her.]]
96* [[GreenEyedMonster Green-Eyed Monster:]] Marisa acts this way when Jean falls in LoveAtFirstSight with Byakuren, and stamps on his toes, and commands him (as his magic instructor) not to fall in love unless she tells him to.
97* GuiltyPleasures: Yutaka claims that the various [[BadFic Bad Fics]] Dawitsu [[BlatantLies forces himself]] to read because he secretly loves them as they depict him as a Sex God.
98* GutFeeling: Tewi's intuition allows her to tell that Marisa's lying about him being a [[CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass.]]
99* HardWorkMontage: Kaguya decides to get fit after becoming HollywoodPudgy and being told to get some exercise by Eirin and Reisen.
100* [[HehHehYouSaidX Heh Heh, You Said Balls]]: Dawitsu scolds a child for saying balls during the sex ed, saying that it isn't clever or funny to say 'balls'. Right before his ten year old audience bursts into laughter at the word.
101* [[SheIsNotMyGirlfriend He Is Not My Former Lover!]]: Alice about Dawitsu, after revealing she kissed him to Hatate.
102* HeliumSpeech: Hatate gets it after Dawitsu's scientifically impossible prank.
103* HeroicBSOD: [[spoiler:Flandre has one after discovering that people who are 'broken' do not get fixed thanks to reading ''Of Mice and Men''.]]
104* HeroicSafeMode: Reimu enters this after being humiliated and separated from Jean, speaking in a CreepyMonotone and emotionlessly relaying the mean things she had done to Jean.
105* HeroicSelfDeprecation: Dawitsu does this to death in the final chapter, to the point of {{Wangst}} for some. The Narrator even [[LampshadeHanging lampshades how pointless it is.]]
106* HonorAmongThieves: Marisa, despite [[spoiler:her house is burning to the ground, guards the house and makes sure it isn't destroyed.]] The reason? Because she doesn't want all the books she's 'borrowed' to be destroyed, and has to keep them intact for when she dies and thus has to 'return' her books to the people she stole from.
107* HonoraryUncle: Chen refers to Yutaka as 'Aunty Yutaka' at one point in the book.
108* HotTeacher: Yutaka, according to all the boys in the class.
109* HumongousMecha: Nitori has one in the final chapter which [[BigLippedAlligatorMoment comes right out of nowhere and is never mentioned again.]]
110* HypocriticalHumor: Dawitsu reads the Bunbunmaru Spirit News; An scandal about Reimu? Hilarious, comedy gold. An article about he and Alice's BigDamnKiss? [[FelonyMisdemeanor The worst thing in the world.]]
111* IDoNotLikeGreenEggsAndHam: Marisa makes Bracket Fungus soup, which, as you can imagine, looks disgusting, and is thickened only by the slime produced by the fungus itself. Jean doesn't want to try it, but when he finally does... ''absolutely loves it.''
112* IJustWantToBeNormal: [[AvertedTrope Averted]] by Yutaka, who claims she's happy with being weird.
113* [[ImStandingRightHere I'm Standing Right Here:]] After several boys shout out their affections for Yutaka, claiming she's 'their type', one call is followed by a girl shouting 'Hey! I'm going out with you!'.
114* [[ImYourBiggestFan I'm Your Biggest Fan]]: [[spoiler:Dawitsu ends up saying this to [[MessianicArchetype Byakuren]] when his disguise is rumbled.]]
115* IneffectualDeathThreats: Medicine Melancholy plays this straight despite being capable of carrying murder out due to her [[CosmicPlaything incredibly bad luck.]]
116* InelegantBlubbering: Reimu's sudden burst into tears after being asked about Jean's absence by Dawitsu and Yutaka, showing off her [[{{Tsundere}} Dere-dere]] side in full effect. Also, when [[spoiler:Jean finds out he's Myouren's reincarnation and feels like he's being treated like a shadow of the man.]]
117* [[InHarmsWay In Harm's Way:]] Jean starts off running from danger left, right, and center, but after a near-death experience, he comes to love the danger.
118* InNameOnly: Referenced in the title of Chapter 2.
119* InsaneTrollLogic: Marisa seems disappointed that Jean doesn't know the way to Eientei, a place which he's never visited, and by all means is difficult to find anyway.
120* InsecureLoveInterest: Bizarre [[SubvertedTrope subversion.]] [[spoiler:Ran reveals that she has always been hopelessly in love with Dawitsu, and Dawitsu (who doesn't want to be with her) kindly lets her down by saying she's too good for him/he's not good enough for her.]]
121* TheInsomniac: Tokage, of the obsessive type. She spends her nights writing terrible fanfiction, but Hebiko's implied to do the same, on account that she (along with Tokage) don't respire as much to keep their heat up (being reptiles and all) and thus don't need to respire as much, so it may also be of the 'superpowered' variety.
122* IronicEcho: Reimu mentions in one scene that Dawitsu 'needs exterminating'. Cut to the next scene, where Dawitsu remarks 'Ugh... what a day... I wish someone would just come up and exterminate me...'
123* ItMakesSenseInContext: {{Invoked|Trope}}. Chen walks into the foyer to see "her mistress wrestling with a human witch, and a miko shouting angrily at a strange man who was speaking a language she couldn't understand." Naturally, she [[AllJustADream thinks she's dreaming]], and goes to bed hoping that she'll wake up in the real world.
124* [[ItsAllMyFault It's All My Fault:]] [[spoiler:Flandre blames herself for her lack of socialization despite it being Remilia's doing that she was locked in the basement, and she insists that Remilia's the 'good sister' and that she's the bad one to Jean, who's desperately and obliviously trying to comfort her.]]
125* ItOnlyWorksOnce: Marisa's rain-dance instruction book causes it to rain around the immediate area. It soaks the book. And Marisa even [[LampshadeHanging references the Trope]] by saying 'It's only good once'.
126* JerkassHasAPoint: Yukari goes skits about how Hatate [[CrackPairing shipped]] her and Dawitsu, and gets even ''more'' angry when she finds out the article implies he 'cheated on' her with Alice. Dawitsu then adds (from the floor) 'Yeah, she has a point, if I really was with Yukari, I'd at least stay faithful...'
127* {{Joshikousei}}: Dawitsu tries to get Yutaka to dress as one.
128* JustFriends: Alice and Dawitsu, and [[SubvertedTrope they're telling the truth]].
129* KnowWhenToFoldEm: Dawitsu eventually gives up being head teacher and lets the [[HotTeacher obvious favorite]] Yutaka take lead while he's the assistant.
130* LameRhymeDodge: Dawitsu replacing '[[OfCorsetsSexy corset]]' with 'jacket'.
131* LargeHam: Medicine, and on rare occasion, Jean. Dawitsu also takes the recurring mantel, but less so than before.
132* LarynxDissonance: [[AvertedTrope Averted]] this time round. Dawitsu perfectly (or at least good enough that he can fool Hatate) imitates Alice's voice using his mimicry skills.
133* LaserGuidedKarma: [[spoiler:Minoriko Aki returns to kick Dawitsu's ass for eating her [[ContinuityPorn in the Grimoire of Dawitsu.]]]]
134* [[LastSecondWordSwap Last-Second Word Swap]]: Dawitsu does this when reviewing Tokage's fanfic: 'That... was the most... ...''wonderful romance story I've ever heard!'''
135* LawOfInverseRecoil: The Master Spark propels Jean and Marisa's broom like a rocket despite being a [[EnergyWeapon laser beam.]]
136* LeaveMeAlone: Remilia says this after finding out Rinnosuke didn't 'de-flower' Sakuya... she had a perfectly functioning sex life prior, and that Dawitsu had [[FriendsWithBenefits slept with her.]] She wasn't happy.
137* [[LifesWorkRuined Life's Work Ruined:]] Eirin's medicine collection gets destroyed by Marisa and Jean's [[HilarityEnsues Hi-larrrrious antics.]] She is not best pleased, but seems more depressed than angry.
138* LittleBitBeastly: [[DiscussedTrope Discussed]] by Ran and Dawitsu [[spoiler:when Dawitsu is trying to let Ran down nicely, one of his lines being 'you simply aren't... the right sort for me', which Ran responds to with 'Is it the tails? Because I can conceal them...']]
139* LonersAreFreaks: [[PlayingWithTropes Played With.]] Mokou is unsettlingly calm about saying she has no friends, but at the same time, mostly acts like a sane individual... unless her BerserkButton is pressed...
140* LoveAtFirstSight: Jean to Byakuren, though that leaves after [[spoiler:TheReveal]]. Marisa and [[HypocriticalHumor Alice]] both mock the idea.
141* LoveTriangle: A LOVE SQUARE is proposed by Aya and Hatate, but it's totally (or at least partially) false.
142* MadScientist: Nitori borders on this at times.
143* MagicFromTechnology: Mokou treats the idea of transforming heat energy (fire) to electrical energy is an impressive feat after Jean tells her about this every-day aspect of the Outside World.
144* MajorInjuryUnderreaction: Dawitsu has tea thrown in his face. His reaction? 'Oh, third degree burns get better...'
145* ManOfAThousandVoices: Dawitsu, again. He uses this well during his teaching career despite being a hated teacher.
146* MercyKill: [[DiscussedTrope Discussed]]. [[spoiler: The Mercy Kill featured in ''Literature/OfMiceAndMen'' is discussed with Flandre by Remilia in one of her few moments of kindness.]]
147* MiniDressOfPower: While not 'of power', Kaguya wears a tiny dress worn by a rabbit youkai for her exercises, which apparently accentuates her cleavage (according to Mokou, who is calling her [[SlutShaming a slut]])
148* {{Moe}}: In-universe. Tokage claims one of her [[EldritchAbomination story ideas]] is this. But it's probably [[NauseaFuel not.]]
149* MomentKiller: Marisa to Reimu trying to kiss a [[DudeShesLikeInAComa sleeping Jean.]] Also, Aya and Hatate do the same earlier on.
150* MotorMouth: This is apparently how Marisa recites her spells in apparent silence- it's recited so quickly that it sounds like a low-level buzz to the untrained ear, referencing the firing sounds of the Touhou games.
151* MoodSwinging: Reimu, of all people in chapter 3.
152* MorningRoutine: The start of the book, this time subverted as Jean wakes up, but it's at the middle of the night, in the middle of the Forest of Magic, and is too panicked by Fujiwara no Mokou appearing to do anything resembling a routine.
153* MotherBear: An odd age-flipped version with Marisa and Jean.
154* MundaneMadeAwesome: [[InvertedTrope Inverted]]. Alice tells Hatate and Aya that [[spoiler:the forest of magic caught fire]], and they treat it as if it's no more interesting than typical gossip.
155* MyGirlIsASlut: Rinnosuke stands up for Sakuya in the below instance by telling Remilia that she cannot control aspects like that of Sakuya.
156* [[MyGirlIsNotASlut My Maid Is Not A Slut:]] An odd non-romantic version. Remilia doesn't seem to comprehend the idea that Sakuya is not a virgin, and has a fully consensual and sexual relationship with Rinnosuke.
157* {{Narcissist}}: Dawitsu does love a good ego massage, according to [[OnlySaneMan Yutaka]].
158* NauseaFuel: In-universe- Tokage's story certainly is this. Dawitsu [[VomitIndiscretionShot throws up]] for [[OverlyLongGag two minutes.]]
159* NeckLift: Remilia does a variant of this by choking Dawitsu with his own collar.
160* NeverSayThatAgain: Dawitsu describes says (referring to Yutaka) 'Ain't she an angel?', and the Amateur writer sparrow youkai he's talking to points out that using the word 'angel' to describe anything is hackneyed and a sign of bad writing. Also, Aya tells Hatate to never say 'Oh, goody!' again.
161* [[NiceGuysFinishLast Nice Gals Finish Last:]] We find out this is Reimu's FreudianExcuse for being a {{Tsundere}}.
162* NightmareFuel: In-Universe- Alice's dolls of Yutaka and Dawitsu. Both of the latter are extremely disturbed by the effigies, but seeing as Alice gave them as a gift, they graciously accept them.
163* NoFourthWall: Any moment when Dawitsu refers to Jean's rivalry with himself due to being 'the most popular original character'. Also, Ichirin seems to have an argument with [[SilentSnarker Unzan]] about how she's his hitbox, and also an excuse to have a male as a boss...
164* NominalImportance: Tokage Reiketsu and Hebiko Bemyouna.
165* {{Nosebleed}}: Dawitsu has a tiny one over the thought of Yutaka, Reimu, Chen and Ran having a SlumberParty.
166* NoSenseOfPersonalSpace: Tokage ''is waiting in Dawitsu's bed'' to see his [[UnusualEuphemism man-carrot.]]
167* NotSoImaginaryFriend: People treat Ichirin as if Unzan is an imaginary friend, but, of course, he's real.
168* NotWhatItLooksLike: Dawitsu thanking Yukari for an unspecified 'favor'. Turns out to be giving him some chocolate, but Hatate writes up a news article that [[CrackPairing says]] otherwise. Also, an audio-only version heard by Tokage is Dawitsu saying 'Almost there... almost there... yes... yes... yes... YES! (scream of victory and ignored references to beating an extra stage) In your face, Ran! You're next, Yukari! Whoo! Yeah!'. It doesn't help that he's exhausted afterwards. Tokage interprets it as saucily as possible, and wonders [[{{Squick}} what could be in Ran's face...]]
169* NotWorthKilling: Mokou treats Aya and Hatate like this after she gets used as a RedShirt by them and... doesn't die.
170* ObliviousToLove: [[spoiler:Dawitsu cannot see that [[TheWoobie Ran]] is, and has been for some time, painfully in love with him, having to accept that he's interested in other women.]]
171* ObsessionSong: Dawitsu sings ''the'' ObsessionSong, 'I'll be watching you.'
172* OfCorsetsSexy: Dawitsu thinks so, or so his FreudianSlip implies.
173* OhCrap: Dawitsu does something that makes [[StepfordSmiler Yut]][[EyesAlwaysClosed aka]] ''visibly'' irritated. Not good.
174* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: A figure from Dawitsu and Yutaka's past is know as 'Squishy', and Yutaka asks what his name was, as she's forgotten, and Dawitsu only refers to him as 'Squishy', so Yutaka assumes he never learnt his friend's real name.
175* OtherStockPhrases: Byakuren says 'I was just resting my eyes' after being woken up by Alice.
176* OutOfCharacterMoment: Reimu going almost insane with happiness at finding out Jean's still alive and well.
177* [[PaperThinDisguise Paper-Thin Disguise]]: [[ParodiedTrope Parodied]]. Reimu wears a pot over her head and expects not to be recognized, while ([[LampshadeHanging as Jean's thoughts point out]]) she still wears her distinctive red-and-white {{Miko}} getup.
178* [[spoiler:[[ParentsKnowTheirChildren Sisters Know Their Brothers]]:]] [[spoiler:Jean and Byakuren know they somehow have met before, and it turns out it's because [[{{Reincarnation}} Jean was the reincarnation of Myouren.]]]]
179* PlotArmor: Dawitsu claims this is the only reason people like Reimu in the heat of a massive [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech "Reason You Suck" Speech.]]
180* PoisonousPerson: Medicine Melancholy. Fortunately she's SealedEvilInACan for the most part.
181* ThePowerOfLove: The final chapter's name is a direct ShoutOut to the TropeNamer, ''Film/BackToTheFuture1''.
182* PrecociousCrush: Almost all of Dawitsu and Yutaka's class' boys have one for [[HotTeacher Yutaka]].
183* PrettyBoy: [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]] and [[ParodiedTrope Parodied]] by the Dawikari community's reaction to seeing Dawitsu in person. A [[CatGirl cat youkai]] strokes his hair, calling it 'silky smooth', and claiming he's probably '{{Bishounen}}', despite the fact ''Dawitsu himself'' knows otherwise.
184* PrideBeforeAFall: Medicine Melancholy jeers at Dawitsu's VideoGame/{{Portal}}-style turrets because they have 'non-lethal lasers'. Then they say [[OhCrap 'Target Acquired']]...
185* PuppetShows: Alice performs one [[spoiler:after fixing Medicine Melancholy, who's still off her face from Opium. Ultimately, it is this kind, caring play that she enjoys with her that causes [[TearJerker Medicine to die of happiness]], as she's no longer an abandoned doll...]]
186* PurpleProse: [[ParodiedTrope Parodied]] with Tokage's writing style.
187* RedShirt: Fujiwara no Mokou is [[InvokedTrope deliberately treated as such]] by Aya and Hatate to act as a litmus test to see if [[ItMakesSenseInContext their houses are still filled with Hydrogen Cyanide gas]]. Of course, she's immortal, and is reborn as soon as she dies, so this is actually a [[SubvertedTrope subversion]].
188* [[spoiler:{{Reincarnation}}:]] [[spoiler:Jean is the reincarnation of [[PosthumousCharacter Myouren Hijiri.]]]]
189* ReplacementGoldfish: [[DefiedTrope Defied]] by Jean [[BilingualBonus in French.]]
190* TheReveal: [[spoiler:Not exactly well-done, Jean finds out he's the reincarnation of [[PosthumousCharacter Myouren Hijiri.]] He over-reacts majorly.]]
191* {{Revenge}}: [[DiscussedTrope Discussed]] with chapter five's name- Revenge is rarely sweet.
192* RhetoricalQuestionBlunder: Hatate has one to Aya's question of 'Do you want to publish newspapers again?'
193* RunningGag: Aya ''still'' snorts ink.
194* SarcasmMode: Dawitsu's quite [[DeadpanSnarker snarky]] line "Anyway, I'd love to stay and be abused by you all day, but I have a job to do, so I'll see you later, eh? Why don't you ask Rinnosuke for help, I'm ''sure'' he'd oblige."
195* SceneryGorn: [[DownplayedTrope Downplayed.]] The abandoned staff room in Keine's school is described as such: 'The Kotatsu in the middle of the staff room was so covered in dust that Yutaka had trouble figuring out how best to convert the matter without creating a significantly large, space consuming object. In the end, the two decided to just stay out the horrid room and hang around outside, drinking tea made by the school cooks.'. If ''Yutaka'' can't convert the dust into anything discreet, there's a ''lot'' there.
196* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: Said word-for-word by Dawitsu when the kids start singing, '[[CrackPairing Dawi and Yukari, sitting in a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G!]] First comes love, second comes marriage, third comes a youkai in a baby's carriage!'
197* [[SealedEvilInACan Sealed Evil In A Vacuum Cleaner:]] Medicine Melancholy, as established [[ContinuityPorn in the last book.]] [[spoiler:She finally escapes.]]
198* SecurityCling: Jean does this to Marisa after they get discovered trying to steal from the Dawitsu mansion by Ran. Also Aya and Hatate cling to each other when they think Mokou would kill them.
199* SeriesContinuityError: The Bunbunmaru Spirit News is often referred to as the Kakasimaru Spirit News. Lord knows what the name actually is.
200* ShipTease: [[InvokedTrope Invoked]] and [[LampshadeHanging lampshaded]] by Dawitsu, who actually ''encourages'' the ridiculous shipping community surrounding he and Yukari despite not having any feelings of that nature for Yukari.
201* ShoutOut: Many, again. One particularly obvious one is to ''WesternAnimation/MadagascarEscape2Africa'', with Hatate confusing six to nine with sixty nine, as well as a [[Franchise/BackToTheFuture 1.21 gigawatt master spark.]] Also, chapter 8 shouts out to ''Literature/OfMiceAndMen''. On top of that, Marisa's rain-dance is a shout-out to Mother 3's '[[MemeticMutation Wess Dance]].
202* [[SlapSlapKiss Slap-Slap-Kiss:]] Hatate, who thinks Dawitsu and Jean are the same person, suggests this is the reason Dawitsu got smacked like a baseball with Reimu's gohei just before Jean and Reimu have their BigDamnKiss.
203* SleepyHead: Kaguya looooves her Kotatsu, and claims a healthy woman is one with plenty of sleep. [[OnlySaneMan Reisen]] points out that ADEQUATE sleep is required, not oversleeping.
204* SlumberParty: Yutaka offers Reimu to join her for one, and she does. [[{{Squee}} D'awwwwwww...]]
205* SomethingThatBeginsWithBoring: Marisa, Reimu and Jean get so bored that they consider playing 'I spy'.
206* SpitTake: Dawitsu ''[[InvokedTrope actively]] [[ParodiedTrope tries]]'' to set this up by, after hearing Alice say she wouldn't mind seeing a sex scene between himself and Yukari.
207* SuperDeformed: Dawitsu's chibi clones. Again.
208* TalkativeLoon: Indirectly implied with Hatate as she begins to recall her traumatic experiences with Nitori's massaging robot hands.
209* ThatManIsDead: Of the literal variety. [[spoiler:After founding out he's the reincarnation of Myouren, Jean insists that he isn't treated as a brother by Byakuren, as he's merely on the same reincarnation line, not the same person, and says that Myouren is dead.]]
210* TheMindIsAPlaythingOfTheBody: [[spoiler:Implied by the fact that Jean is a different individual to Myouren despite being on the same reincarnation line as him.]]
211* ThroughHisStomach: Both a thought of, but abandoned gender-flipped version and a regular version, as Jean considers making Reimu breakfast to make her feel better, but abandons the idea when he fails to get the fire stove working, and Marisa plays the trope straight by making Jean [[IDoNotLikeGreenEggsAndHam Bracket Fungus Soup.]]
212* {{Tsundere}}: Though Dawitsu doesn't out and out call her one [[RunningGag like he does Reimu]], Dawitsu says that Remilia is 'Like an armadillo; hard on the outside and soft on the inside'. Remilia doesn't take kindly to this.
213* BigShutUp: Mokou screaming 'SILENCE!' Also, Dawitsu shouting 'FOR GOD'S SAKE, SHUT UP!' at Reimu.
214* SickeninglySweethearts: Tokage's writing style is a [[ParodiedTrope parody]] of this. Dawitsu even vomits at the reading of it.
215* SilentSnarker: Unzan seems to be this, if Ichirin's reactions are genuine.
216* {{Slapstick}}: Reimu whacks both Ran and Marisa off Jean with her Gohei in what the narration calls 'an almost slapstick-esque manner'.
217* SpeakOfTheDevil: Marisa and Jean start talking about people who've romantically pursued Marisa in the past. Who should appear round at Marisa's house? Alice herself, of course.
218* SpeechImpediment: Not PlayedForLaughs, rather shown in a realistic sense. A child in Dawitsu and Yutaka's class called [[Manga/DeathNote Kyousuke]] is bullied for having a stutter, but is one of the nicer children of the class, and while still having a crush on Yutaka, is far more 'gentlemanly' than most, and is more innocent than depraved.
219* SweatDrop: Used in places.
220* SympathyForTheDevil: Yutaka and Jean both feel sorry for [[spoiler:a destroyed Medicine Melancholy,]] despite the latter [[spoiler:was nearly killed by her.]]
221* TalkingInYourSleep: Jean is prone to this.
222* TeachersPet: There are a ''lot'' of these in Dawitsu and Yutaka's class, all giving apples to Yutaka, but no-one giving them to Dawitsu.
223* TeacherStudentRomance: Heavily [[PlayingWithTropes Played With.]] Thankfully [[AvertedTrope averted]] by Yutaka and the various kids in her class, but teased at with Marisa and Jean. The latter is [[DefiedTrope defied]] by Nitori when Aya attempts to [[DiscussedTrope discuss]] it, Nitori claiming that there's no tension between male student and female teacher. The fact that the teacher is younger than the student also makes it a bizarre [[InvertedTrope inversion.]]
224* TeamMom: Marisa is this to Jean, and is quite freaked out about this development.
225* TheHeart: Surprisingly, Hatate plays this to Aya occasionally, and Jean to Marisa/Reimu.
226* TheTease: Yutaka, to ''the kids in her class''.
227* TeleportSpam: Dawitsu does this when imitating [[VideoGame/SonicHeroes Team Dark's]] [[ThePowerOfFriendship Team Blast]], Chaos Inferno.
228* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: [[BewareTheNiceOnes Dawitsu]] delivers a scathing one to Reimu before being utterly [[CurbStompBattle curb-stomped.]]
229* ThisLoserIsYou: ''Literature/OfMiceAndMen'' unintentionally makes [[DoesNotKnowHisOwnStrength Lennie]] this to Flandre, and causes her [[spoiler:HeroicBSOD when she finds out he accidentally kills someone.]]
230* UniverseBible: Jean views the Grimoire of Dawitsu as this, even though in reality it's written by an UnreliableNarrator.
231* UnusualEuphemism: Tokage refers to Dawitsu's [[SelfDemonstratingArticle long john silver]] as a [[Fanfic/ForbidenFruitTheTempationOfEdwardCullen Man-carrot.]]
232* VitriolicBestBuds: Alice and Marisa act this way, Marisa remarking that Alice's crush on her is 'really in the past after all... I missed the good old insulting each other days...'. Alice replies that she feels the same way.
233* WaxingLyrical: Jean starts singing [[Series/EurovisionSongContest Allez Allez Allez]] to himself, annoying Marisa, who doesn't know what the song is.
234* WhatIsThisThingYouCallLove: Kogasa asks this to Alice, who responds by several failed attempts at defining it coherently.
235* WholesomeCrossdresser: Dawitsu claims to Keine that he could cross-dress and convince others that he's female. Considering his ability to shape-shift using [[VideoGame/TeamFortress2 the Spytron 3000]], this may well be true.
236* WhoWantsToLiveForever: Mokou explicitly states that she wants to die on numerous occasions.
237* WiseBeyondTheirYears: Marisa is quite smart, certainly smarter than the eight-years-older-than-her Jean. [[InvertedTrope Inverted]] with Kaguya and Mokou, and Tewi plays this straight in respect to the former pair by being totally neutral to their conflict despite being much younger than Kaguya or Mokou. Of course, she's still 1000 years old, so she's perhaps a [[SubvertedTrope subversion.]]
238* WhyIsntItAttacking: Mokou is said to be "surprised" Jean hadn't attacked her. {{Subverted|Trope}} in that if Jean wasn't completely powerless, he probably would have.
239* WordSaladHumor: Dawitsu's horrible attempts at French, doubles as a BilingualBonus.
240* WorstNewsJudgementEver: Hatate has this, and Aya picks up on it, saying she's "filling the paper with useless, mundane stuff" [[HypocriticalHumor despite one of her stories]] was on her rival gaining popularity and a subsequent "[[EndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt Apocalypse at Hand]]".
241* YouAreACreditToYourRace: Byakuren congratulates Shou's progress in Buddhism, claiming it's great for an 'animal youkai such as [her]self' to have come this far.
242* YouKeepUsingThatWord: Dawitsu insists on calling a Glokenspeil a xylophone, a mistake brought up by Yutaka regularly.
243* YouNeedToGetLaid: Yutaka tells this to Dawitsu, even though he has an [[UndyingLoyalty undying]] [[AllLoveIsUnrequited love]] for her, and tells him that he has her full blessing to find someone else. She even says 'you're all pent up.'
244* YouRemindMeOfX: Dawitsu himself doesn't say it, but Ran notes that Dawitsu like Hebiko because she reminds him of himself.
245* YouWereTryingTooHard: Dawitsu's attempts to be a CoolTeacher reek of this.
246* ZanyScheme: Marisa and Jean accidentally knock Dawitsu and Yutaka unconscious while Jean's practicing using the master spark. Marisa's conclusion? While they're unconscious, let's steal their books!
