8''Syukusho Gakuen'' or ''Shrink 'High'' in its English incarnation, is a [[FreewareGames freeware]] Japanese [[DoujinGame game]] created in UsefulNotes/RPGMaker VX.
9
10The plot revolves around the detective, Chijinda You, investigating the mysterious events and disappearances at Yabaize High School. The game plays itself out like a straight JRPG, where you explore for clues and items and engage in various battles for the first part of the game. You'll find yourself running into characters from Japanese anime left and right. You can even get [[DeadpanSnarker Kyon]] as a party member. It seems quite innocent enough.
11
12Then you find out just [[ShrinkRay why]] it's called [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Shrink 'High]].
13
14Needless to say, the focus of the game takes a sudden turn. Suddenly, 90% of the cast is bigger than you. And most of the 90% will either mistake you for an insect, or be a part of the secret society that's behind it all, and will [[GiantFootOfStomping do]] [[JustEatHim anything]] to ensure you don't meddle in their plans anymore.

16This game was until recently [[NoExportForYou Japan Only]], but a fan translation was created with added content. The only currently available download of the English version is [[http://www.mediafire.com/file/c8ub135hw54j6fa/Shrink_%2527High_%252B1.rar/file here]]. '''NOTE:''' that file requires that you [[https://www.rpgmakerweb.com/download/additional/run-time-packages install]] RPG Maker VX runtime package separately (it comes pre-packaged with VX '''Ace''' RTP, which is incompatible) ''and'' paste this [[https://www.dllme.com/getfile.php?file=26604&id=73b5e408ef0b2a8d498107448ea119b6 .dll file]] into the game's folder to make it work correctly.
17
18Has a sequel referred to in English as ''Shrink High Gaiden Hanpane Island''. Unlike the original game, it is distributed commercially, so the [[https://www.mediafire.com/file/hcm95lig6ymzzaa/Shrink_High_Gaiden_English__.rar/file English patch]] is useless if haven't bought the game itself. It takes the adventure to a girls' boarding school on the eponymous island. Chijinda must go there to investigate a series of disappearances [[HereWeGoAgain similiar to those at Yabaize,]] while also searching for his missing friend/partner, Narue...
19
20!! This game provides examples of:
21* AcademyOfAdventure: Yabaize High School and the surrounding area. No, this is ''not'' just because of the A.S. Society's shenanigans; there's a fair bit of paranormal activity going on [[IrrelevantSidequest that has nothing to do with them]]. Same goes for the girls' academy on Hanpane Island in the sequel.
22* AffablyEvil:
23** Erika is [[PsychopathicManchild a completely amoral idiot]], and she's cheerful and friendly even when she's eating you alive.
24** The Director herself is generally a rather friendly person when you talk to her, and she just wants to take over the world. She treats Chijinda with [[WorthyOpponent a great deal of respect]], and appears to sincerely regret that so many people have to be sacrificed for her success. [[spoiler: This slips after [[VillainousBreakdown she is defeated in battle for the first time]], but [[GracefulLoser reasserts itself after her second defeat]].]]
25* AGodAmI:
26** The Director has a really subtle example even before [[spoiler: her VillainousBreakdown]], in that her basic attack is called "Fist of Heaven's Judgment." It could be passed over, but it's a subtle hint that despite her AffablyEvil attitude, her ego is really out of control.
27** [[spoiler: The President, if she's not redeemed, gets a god complex upon realizing her power as the Daidarabotchi. Like the Director, she also has an attack alluding to this: "Endless Natural Law."]]
28* AIRoulette: Shamisen the cat is an uncontrollable party member, and he's usually not very helpful to your party. When you want him to leave someone alone because you have them caught in a [[StatusEffects Sleep/Poison lock]], Shamisen will helpfully [[AnnoyingVideoGameHelper scratch them awake with his claws]]. When you want him to attack, Shamisen might just decide to use his "Catnap" ability, going to sleep and allowing him to recover HP and AP...whether or not he needs any and whether or not you need him fighting.
29* AllPowerfulBystander: [[spoiler: Madoka]] ''may'' be this; it's unclear what her exact powers are, since [[spoiler: her fight against you and her destruction of the A.S. Society are AllJustADream if you win]]. Either way, she knows about the plot, but doesn't get involved beyond her interactions with Chijinda.
30* AlmightyJanitor: The nameless C-Rank Member you first encounter is quite a bit more powerful than average. Part of this is, of course, because you meet her [[DegradedBoss well before C-Rank members become regular enemies]], but she also has more HP than normal and, when you fight her while shrunk, is capable of attacking with both feet instead of just one, a skill only shared by Reina and [[spoiler: Madoka]].
31* AmazonBrigade: The Advanced Sciences Society. All its full-sized combat members are female.
32* AntiVillain:
33** The majority of the high-ranked villains, in contrast to the rank-and-file {{Mooks}}, are [[WellIntentionedExtremist trying to make the world a better place through horrific methods]].
34** In the second game, [[spoiler: the President dislikes humanity, with the exception of Chijinda, and she wants to be restored to her true form, the titanic Daidarabotchi. She's a villain because she doesn't really care if the world burns so long as she can stop being trapped in a weak, confining human form, but the player's choices will determine whether she is an enemy of humanity afterward.]]
35* AscendedExtra: Mizuho and Tetsuko/Lady Masque are potential party members in the sequel, after just being a part of the [[QuirkyMinibossSquad Quirky Miniboss Squad]] in the first game.
36* AsskickingLeadsToLeadership: Higher-ranked A.S. members are exponentially more powerful than lower-ranked members, whether they're actually in combat units or not.
37* AssKicksYou: Chijinda can end up sat on--accidentally or otherwise--by a giantess if he's not careful. This can also be done as an attack move against the entire party, but is less likely to be a OneHitKill.
38* AttackOfThe50FootWhatever: THIS a thousand times. It's essentially the entire point of the game, and once you're shrunk you'll be hard pressed NOT to run into this. It's not just humans, [[BigCreepyCrawlies either]]... Most of these are just POV specific, though, as the game DOES focus on shrinking. For this trope played completely straight see [[spoiler: the Director snapping and enlarging herself to ran rampant in the endgame. And, while missing the 'attack' part, Narue possibly enlarging to help fight her off.]]
39* AuthorAppeal: Macrophilia, obviously, along with a variety of related fetishes.
40* BigBad: The Director heads the A.S. Society and is the one behind ThePlan in the first game.
41* BigBadDuumvirate: In ''Hanpane Island'', the various enemies are allied, but not precisely in any form of hierarchy. The Heavenly Queens and the President have their own agendas, the Heavenly Queens have varying levels of allegiance to their group, and Narue has no real agenda at all and doesn't take orders from anyone; [[PsychopathicManchild she just wants to play]]. [[spoiler: In the end, either Narue or the President becomes the final BigBad.]]
42* BigDamnHeroes. In the sequel [[spoiler:the Vice-Director repeatedly pulls this card to get the party out of a sticky situation. It reaches its peak in the finale where [[AttackOfThe50FootWhatever she reappears as a giantess to fight her equally titanic foe]]]].
43%%** [[DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment Oni Demon.]]
44%%** Ancient Omega Weapon.
45%%** [[spoiler:Ultimate A.S. Weapon.]]
46%%** [[spoiler:Madoka.]]
47%%** [[spoiler:[[Anime/PrincessMononoke Tatarigami]].]]
48* BossInMookClothing: You can fight C-rank A.S. members while shrunk. It's probably better to just run.
49* BraggingRightsReward: The Challenger's Soul. It's a decently-powerful accessory, but if you're strong enough to get it, the rest of the game will be a cakewalk anyway.
50%%* CastFromHitPoints
51* CharlesAtlasSuperpower: Kyon lacks Chijinda's PsychicPowers, and his abilities primarily revolve around developing his raw stats to higher-than-normal levels.
52* CharmPerson: The "{{Moe}} Appeal" and "{{Tsundere}} Appeal" attacks can inflict the "Love-Struck" status effect (essentially [[StatusEffects Paralysis]] that only works on men). So can Kanon's "Call Me Queen!" attack, which is a charm effect delivered via a whip strike. The player characters are made of sterner stuff than most, though; the average shrinky gets Love-Struck just by getting a glimpse of a giantess' panties.
53* CombatTentacles: The "tentacle rape" attack.
54* CovertPervert: Narue puts on the show of simply being her boss’s peppy sidekick, but it’s clear she has feelings for him and is giddy to see him shrunk down to a cuter size. She also has an optional scene that has her having sex with him, which turns out to be AllJustADream on her part. [[spoiler:These tendencies were extracted from her in the sequel in order to create a wicked clone who doesn’t have the same inhibitions she does]].
55* CuttingOffTheBranches: The second game goes with the ending where [[spoiler:the Director is killed and Narue becomes a giantess]].
56%%* DangerousForbiddenTechnique: [[spoiler:The Manga/DeathNote]].
57%%* DarkActionGirl: Kanon.
58* DatingCatwoman: The Vice-Director serves as the game's [[BettyAndVeronica Veronica]].
59%%* DeadlyUpgrade
60%%* DeathMountain: The mountain.
61* DegradedBoss: You can fight a C-rank fighter early on, first at human size, then as a shrinky. You don't fight any other A.S. members until much later.
62* DiscOneNuke:
63** Subverted by a MagnificentBastard of a game designer. The [[spoiler:Manga/DeathNote]] is an EasterEgg item that's not all that hard to find, and kills all non-boss enemies on the field when used. [[spoiler:It also reduces your party's max HP if used too often, and doesn't tell you about it until you suddenly look at your HP and find that you're a hundred HP short of where you should be.]] There's a couple of times where it's really virtually necessary to use to pass opposition that's entirely beyond your level, but otherwise, use with caution.
64** Completing the [[spoiler:Madoka quest]] early can get you a piece of endgame-class gear.
65** SaveScumming the Lottery can net you a legendary supersword.
66* DoNotCallMePaul: TheDragon gets pissed off whenever people don't refer to her as her proper title.
67* DragonAscendant: In the second game, Madame Vice-Director is the highest-ranking member of A.S. left standing. However, [[spoiler: only Erika is still loyal to her. The Four Heavenly Queens are pursuing their own agendas, and not all of them appreciate her involvement.]]
68* DualBoss: At one point, the Vice-Director and Erika team up to fight you together. If you [[BerserkButton defeat one]], the other TurnsRed.
69* EarnYourHappyEnding: After defeating the Director, [[spoiler:she reveals she is actually from a distant [[AfterTheEnd post-apocalyptic]] future two centuries from now, and the atrocities she had committed were all necessary to her plan to ensure that it never comes to pass. With her defeated, humanity still faces the spectre of collapse, but the nations of the world are forewarned against the threat and the Vice-Director can help restore the surviving shrinkies to normal.]]
70* EliteMooks: A.S. Society combat members.
71* EnemyMine: Mizuho and Lady Masque team up with Chijinda fairly early on in the sequel, after [[spoiler: Narue shrinks them all, along with their village.]]
72* EnemyWithout: In the sequel, [[spoiler: 'Narue', who had seemingly pulled a FaceHeelTurn, actually turns out to be this- she's a clone whose mind is filled with Narue's repressed desires. The real Narue is a prisoner of the NASS.]]
73* EvenTheGirlsWantHer: The Director. At least one girl at Yabaize is shown having heart-shaped thoughts of her.
74* EverythingTryingToKillYou: From bugs, mice, birds, to robots, to giant high school girls, you'll be hard pressed to find something that won't try to kill you.
75* EvilerThanThou: In the second game, [[spoiler: Clone Narue and the President end up trying to decide who the BigBad is. Which of the two becomes the FinalBoss is decided by the player's actions.]]
76* ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin:
77** Shrink 'High, well...involves people shrinking. Pretty clear there.
78** The game takes place in Yabaize High School, which can roughly be translated into English as 'One Dangerous High School'.
79* ExtremeOmnivore: Erika basically functions as a garbage can for the Vice-Director's failed experiments. She also swallows any shrunken people the Vice-Director wants to have killed off.
80%%* FaceHeelTurn: [[spoiler: Narue, in the sequel.]]
81* FailedASpotCheck: Chijinda's brain kinda turns off in the sequel when he meets a girl heading the "Neo-Advanced Science Society." He knows that something's wrong at the Girls' College, but missing the fact that a resurrection of the organization involved in the Yabaize shenanigans is also involved in things at the College is inexcusable.
82* FauxAffablyEvil: In the sequel, [[spoiler: [[FaceHeelTurn Narue's]] text boxes imply that she speaks in a cheerful, singsongy voice whilst she enslaves/slaughters entire villages.]]
83* FetishFuelFuture: For some reason, everyone at Yabaize High (with the exception of Kyon, Hiroshi of the Furyou Brothers and the shrinky prisoners sans the brainwashed shrinkies) is into the giantess fetish. Every boy goes crazy with lust when he's shrunken and looks up at a girl, and every girl who gets a chance to play with shrinkies thoroughly enjoys it. (This may have been arranged by the villains.)
84* ForcedLevelGrinding: If you don't want to be killed by ''mice'', you'd best grind your ass off. [[spoiler: There's a SchmuckBait item available that appears to assist in this. However, the Manga/DeathNote will ''take away your Max HP if you use it more than a few times. And the worst part is that you won't even know that your MaxHP went down unless you look.]] Did we mention that the game is NintendoHard?
85* FunWithAcronyms: "Advanced Science Society." The Vice-Director even pokes fun at it once.
86* GambitPileup: ''Hanpane Island'' is completely out of control. ''Every major character'' has an agenda of their own at some point.
87* GeneticEngineeringIsTheNewNuke: In between shrinking people, the villainesses create [[CuteMonsterGirl Cute Monster Girls]] in the lab, including a [[SuccubiAndIncubi succubus]], a [[OurFairiesAreDifferent fairy]] and a CatGirl.
88* GetOutOfJailFreeCard: [[spoiler: Erika gets off completely scot-free for murder and cannibalism, and Mia's probably getting released as soon as the stink dies down. This is justified: Mia's in an extremely good position to plea-bargain for both of them, being the only one who the authorities can turn to to restore the shrinkies to normal, and in addition Chijinda is going to bat for them.]]
89* GiantEqualsInvincible: [[spoiler: There's a difference between being a 1/100-size human attacking full-sized humans, and being a human attacking a giantess. The former is a difficult battle, but possible. The latter requires either tanks with anti-giantess weaponry or a giantess of your own to help; as one path in the second game shows, it's simply impossible to do any damage on your own with just a magic sword.]]
90* GiantFootOfStomping: You'll be avoiding these.
91* GiantSpaceFleaFromNowhere: [[spoiler: [[HotWitch Madoka]] [[Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica (no relation)]]]] not only has no relation to the main plot, nobody even ''tries'' to explain what she's doing in the game. She simply exists to reward you for solving a puzzle, provide {{fanservice}}, and later face you in an OptionalBoss battle.
92* GiantWoman: From the player’s perspective, all of the women in the duology are going to be this. However a truer example arrives in the climax of both games.
93** In the first game [[spoiler:the Director snaps and enlarges herself to a size far larger than buildings and goes on a rampage. If Narue decides to fight fire with fire then she also becomes this size]].
94** In the sequel [[spoiler:regardless of which path is chosen the President unlocks her true form through science and eclipses Narue in size. If Clone Narue survives she takes control of the real Narue and uses her gigantic body as her plaything. Finally in either scenario the Vice-Director pulls a BigDamnHeroes moment and arrives as a giantess thanks to her drinking a growth potion earlier]].
95* {{Grievous Harm with a Body}}: Midway through the game Kyon gets the skill "Ally-oop!", which consists of him throwing [[TheHero Chijinda]] at an enemy, for quite a lot of damage. defeating a powerful OptionalBoss in the late game unlocks "triple ally-oop!", which has him throw Chijinda, Narue and [[Literature/HaruhiSuzumiya Shamisen]] one after the other, all in one turn.
96* GuideDangIt: There are a lot of times that you're given absolutely no indication of where to go, particularly near the beginning of the game, and there are many items that are {{permanently missable|Content}} without warning or indication that they were even there.
97* HandsomeLech: Chijinda.
98* HardLevelsEasyBosses: Random encounters can be [[NintendoHard ridiculously hard]] if you haven't ground enough. The majority of the bosses, by contrast, can be handled by any party that can ''get'' to them in the first place.
99* HeelFaceDoorSlam: [[spoiler: The Director regains her sanity after you defeat her giant form, but by then it's too late to save her.]]
100* HGamePOVCharacter: Chijinda is a Type IIIB. He is perverted and often ethically-questionable, peeping on girls and even [[spoiler:[[DudeShesLikeInAComa taking advantage of them while they sleep]]]], but he's rather likable and not actually a bad guy [[spoiler:except in the ICanRuleAlone ending]].
101* InfinityPlusOneSword: It exists, but the effort required to get it is almost as hard as beating the game itself. Essentially, [[spoiler:there are five swords that can be forged into it, but [[GuideDangIt you have to know where they are, which bosses drop them, and what the conditions TO get them to drop them are]]. [[PermanentlyMissableContent If you miss even one, you cannot go back and try for it again]].]]
102* MadScientist: The Director and Vice-Director, as well as many lower-ranking A.S. members.
103* TheManyDeathsofYou: Any situation where there is at least one giant girl (including Narue before she joins your team or is sleeping) is involved, and trust me, '''there's a lot of them''', chances are Chijinda is going to die in some way, shape or form if he's not careful. In fact, '''Any'' time a giant girl kills you, [[NonStandardGameOver it has a unique death screen]].
104* MassiveMultiplayerCrossover: Characters from several anime and games cross into the game. Some are even main characters.
105* MechaMooks: The majority of the A.S. Society's forces are composed of these.
106* MediumAwareness: Kyon is more or less aware that he's in a video game, though he doesn't bring it up too often. At one point, he even mentions that "there's enough holes in the fourth wall around here already."
107* MetaGuy: Kyon. He's in charge of LampshadeHanging, [[ShoutOut Shout Outs]] and generally having an encyclopedic knowledge of anime, manga and video game tropes and memes.
108* MinoredInAsskicking: The Director would rather not get her hands dirty, and prefers diplomacy or a shrink ray to engaging in violence. When it comes down to it, though, she's the head of an organization where AuthorityEqualsAsskicking, and can throw down harder than any of her subordinates when Chijinda comes calling.
109* {{Minigame}}: Avoiding the GiantFootOfStomping is done through a minigame.
110* MotiveRant: Chijinda encourages the Director to give one [[spoiler:as she's dying]].
111* MultipleEndings:
112** Three endings. Two depend on whether you [[spoiler: enlarge Narue for the final battle.]] The final one [[spoiler: has Chijinda [[ICanRuleAlone take over from the Director and enlarge the remaining girls to conquer the world.]]]]
113** ''Hanpane Island'' has two endings, depending on which final boss you get, either [[spoiler: Clone Narue or the President. The main difference is that the President survives in the former, and in the latter you get a scene with DaChief summing up the plot and dangling threads.]]
114* NightmareFuel: Kyon [[InvokedTrope invokes]] the trope by name inside Erika's stomach.
115* NintendoHard: If you're not careful, mice can murder you if you stray too far without grinding. Not to mention the widespread status inflicting enemies, as well as the instant death scenes you can trigger.
116%%* NobleDemon: Lady Masque.
117* NoodleIncident: Detective Chijinda, and sometimes others occasionally brings up a prior case of his that occured in Borneo. whatever it was, it was both enough of a nightmare to make Chijinda traumatized and hesitant to talk about it, and enough of an OffscreenMomentOfAwesome to be the reason Yabaize's principle specifically chose him to investigate the strange happenings in the area. it also apparently involved the paranormal, considering that Chijinda's reaction to [[spoiler:being shrunk]] is that it's "Borneo all over again!".
118* NonstandardGameOver: Plenty of them, usually involving giantess-related deaths. Sometimes you survive... as a plaything.
119* NPCRoadblock: The area behind the principal's fireplace is blocked off by maids. You have to wait for Kagami to move out of the way.
120* OptionalBoss: Your first encounter with Reina is a [[SubvertedTrope subversion]] of a HopelessBossFight. You're not supposed to be able to defeat her, but if you do, the game accepts the outcome and gives you some nice rewards (as well as possibly saving the life of two minor characters).
121* PeninsulaOfPowerLeveling: There's an area on DeathMountain that, early in the game, spawns endgame animal monsters. Using a certain DiscOneNuke, it's possible to accelerate your LevelGrinding a fair distance, but [[DangerousForbiddenTechnique don't do too much of it]].
122* PerkyFemaleMinion: Erika.
123* PhysicalGod: [[spoiler: The awakened Daidarabotchi in the sequel is the largest giantess seen in the game, and has psychokinetic powers that dwarf Chijinda's as much as her body does. On the route where she turns evil, she starts [[AGodAmI claiming godhood]], and is absolutely capable of backing it up.]]
124%%* PornWithPlot
125* PressXToDie: When you're shrunk, save often to separate slots. The game does not play fair.
126* {{Pride}}: Regardless of the sizes of anyone involved, [[BigBad the Director's]] ego will be the biggest thing around.
127* PsychicPowers: Chijinda develops them early on, and they form his personal suite of special abilities.
128* PsychoForHire: Kanon doesn't care about the Society's vision, goals or organizational culture. She just likes to hurt people.
129* PunchClockVillain: The rank-and-file A.S. members tend to range from this to PsychoForHire.
130%%* QuirkyMinibossSquad: The Four Heavenly Queens.
131* RedemptionEqualsDeath: Possibly. [[spoiler: The Furyou Brothers can make a HeroicSacrifice to ensure that you get to the enlarger. It's possible to avert this by defeating Reina, however.]]
132* RenegadeSplinterFaction: The Four Heavenly Queens form the Neo-Advanced Science Society in the second game, planning a second Operation: Humanity's Reduction for their own reasons. [[spoiler: They've broken ties with Madame Vice-Director, who would otherwise be the DragonAscendant]].
133* {{Retcon}}: In the first game, the Four Heavenly Queens are killed in the penultimate boss fight. In the second game, they're alive, well, and running around.
134* SaveToken: While you can save at any SavePoint, you can use bookmarks to save at any time, which are expended after use.
135* SchizophrenicDifficulty: While the game's always NintendoHard, some parts are harder than others; generally speaking, once you've adapted to an existing difficulty, the game changes the rules on you, resulting in the difficulty varying.
136%%* ShoutOut
137* ShrinkRay: What you run into after the first quarter of the game and a weapon of choice for the villainesses.
138* SitcomArchNemesis: In the sequel, [[spoiler: Madame Vice-Director]] is totally just working with Chijinda because [[EnemyMine they have mutual enemies]], and besides, she's [[TheOnlyOneAllowedToDefeatYou the only one who gets to crush him under her feet]]. She's absolutely not nursing a {{tsundere}} crush on him from the last game, she [[IWasJustPassingThrough was just passing through when she saved him]], and they're still enemies, baka! ...In other words, the fact that they're technically still enemies is played ''entirely'' for laughs, usually at her expense.
139* StrongFleshWeakSteel: Whenever a named opponent is using any kind of PoweredArmor, they're actually far stronger outside the armor. [[spoiler: Averted with the 90-series tanks, which really are better-armored than Chijinda and Kyon, though they may be offensively weaker depending on how powerful your weapons are.]]
140* SwallowedWhole: Usually a NonstandardGameOver when done by a giantess, though on one occasion it's required for the plot to progress. Also an attack used by slightly less super-scaled monsters.
141* SympathyForTheDevil: If you do the diary sidequest, Chijinda goes through a lot of this with regards to the Vice-Director.
142* TakeUpMySword: [[spoiler:After the Director tells Chijinda her motives, she urges him to save the world in his own way and prevent her timeline from coming to pass. Should he be up for it, she'll even offer him [[ICanRuleAlone leadership of the A.S. Society]].]]
143* TooDumbToLive: When you're shrunk, you can die quite often just by being in the wrong place at the wrong time. You can also die by deliberately getting too close to a giantess, in which case you have nobody to blame but yourself. This is even {{lampshaded}} if you get killed by the first giant schoolgirl you meet: the game offers you a [[VisualNovel/{{Tsukihime}} Teach Me, Narue-Sensei!]] session, in which [[WhatTheHellPlayer Narue points out that you pretty much had to have gotten yourself squished on purpose]].
144* {{Tsundere}}: The Vice-Director, big time. The Director, Kanon and Reina also have the "[[CharmPerson Tsundere Appeal]]" attack, but none of them precisely fits the trope.
145* UnexplainedRecovery: [[spoiler:The Four Heavenly Queens were killed in battle in the first game. In this game, they're apparently "still at large" and involved in the plot.]]
146%%* UnholyMatrimony
147* UnitsNotToScale: Individual intestinal bacteria act as opponents to 2cm tall heroes, and enchanted mitochondria are about the size of bullfrogs. (Outside of the WombLevel, there's a ''fairly'' standard scale in use.)
148* UniversalDriversLicense: Kyon's [[LampshadeHanging suspension of disbelief]] is shredded yet again when Chijinda suggests driving [[spoiler:tanks]]. Chijinda [[BellisariosMaxim tells him not to worry about the details]].
149* UselessUsefulSpell: Usually averted. Status effects are ''extremely'' useful against bosses; in fact, poison is by far the most powerful and reliable weapon you can use against giantesses.
150* UtopiaJustifiesTheMeans: [[spoiler: The Director intends to shrink all humanity to solve war and resource shortages, bringing people under the control of benevolent goddesses. A.S. members murdering for pleasure right now is an acceptable loss, but she plans to stop it once humanity's under control.]]
151* VictoriasSecretCompartment: Narue provides this convenient and comfortable means of getting around.
152* VillainousBreakdown: [[spoiler: The Director]] completely loses it when she's defeated.
153* VillainPedigree: Unrelated animals and supernatural creatures --> BigCreepyCrawlies --> MechaMooks --> A.S. Members.
154* WeCanRuleTogether: The BigBad offers the player a position within the Society at one point. [[spoiler: If you accept, it's a NonstandardGameOver.]] She offers it again near the end after you know the full extent of her plans, but you aren't given the option to accept this time.
155%%* WellIntentionedExtremist: [[spoiler:The majority of the leading villains.]]
156* WhiteMagicianGirl: Narue, who serves as TheMedic and as Chijinda's plucky assistant.
157* WolfpackBoss: The boss fight before the last, where you fight the Four Heavenly Queens all at once.
158* WombLevel: One of the villainesses eats you. How do you get out? [[YouDoNOTWantToKnow You don't want to know.]]
159%%* WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds:
160%%** The [[TheDragon Vice Director]]. Needless to say, her past isn't exactly sunshine.
161%%** [[spoiler:The [[BigBad Director]]'s past leads her to decide to [[UtopiaJustifiesTheMeans do something about it]].]]
162* WorthyOpponent: The Vice-Director and most of the Heavenly Queens view Chijinda this way. In the former case, it leads to a rather blatant crush.
