This is for Agent Ali character trope :
- Alpha Bastard : Agent Sam has this shade as he consider the young agents as loser. Just like when he stop Aleks who attempt to fight with Rudy, Sam told to Aleks that he didn't want his teammate got "disease loser" from the young agents.
- Cheaters Never Prosper : Due to her injuring Chris in first round, Agent Rizka receive a penalty of losing 10 points of her scores from Agent Leon.
- Multicolored Hair: Agent Kim is the only agent with very odd color hair as she has blue hair with yellow and pink streak
- Multinational Team : Sam's team consist of four Agents from different countries. Kim is from South Asia possibly South Korea, Riza is from Indonesia, Aleks and Sam are possibly from Europe.
- Musical Assassin: Agent Kim's main weapon is Sonic Keytar.
- Pet the Dog: While Rudy still not mellowed, at least he gives Ali some tiny encouragement to Ali to not giving up or underestimate himself about his ability as agent.
- Younger Than They Look : Despite looking like much older than Ali and the other Academy Agents, they are still 14-16 years old. The youngest one are same ages with Roza and Zass.
This is for BoBoiBoy character tropes :
- Irony: Gentar is hammy and overconfident like Fire/Blaze or Wind/Cyclone. But he is actually formed by two serious and calm Elemental Form like Thunderstorm and Quake while he still inherited some Thunderstorm's aggressiveness.
- Made of Iron: Gentar is immune with any laser attack. It's because Gentar actually absorb its laser which causing trigger his electricity absorption power awaken. Gopal use this again by ordering Probe to shoot Gentar with huge scale of laser beam to strengthen Gentar.
- Split-Personality Takeover:
- When Boboiboy first time transform into Fire in Original Series for first time due to his stress during night and accidentally causing many fire accident in Rintis Island, he has no idea about what he do as Fire.
- Then almost happens again when he become Tempest in season 2. Luckily, Kuputeri able to calmed him on time before Boboiboy fully being controlled by his elemental power for second time.
- Unstable Powered Child: Although Boboiboy mostly stable and controllable, he still has a moment where his power actives against his will mainly because of his stress and desperation like how he unlocked Fire and Tempest for the first time.
- Hot Paint Job: Blaze outfit consist of glowing flame motif on his jacket and short.

While I wait for the response to my last question, guess I'll keep going.
@ Cuphead
- No Sympathy: In the ending for "The Delicious Last Course", Saltbaker is defeated and loses his bakery from the battle with the heroes. Cuphead comments it serves him right for his evil deeds as Saltbaker mourns his shop. Though the epilogue shows that Cuphead forgave him after Saltbaker put in the community service and properly atoned for his crimes.
@ "Battle for the Empire" recap in IDW Sonic.
- Let No Crisis Go to Waste: After Starline, Surge, and Kit are defeated, Eggman reclaims control of his Eggpireal City. And, realizing Sonic, Tails, and Belle are still in the city, commands his Badnik horde to attack the three.

To everyone's horror, Endeavor uses Prominence Burn, a pillar of flames that reaches the sky...
Nezu laments that Endeavor can get away with destroying surveillance around his fights against Shirou by paying them back later.
^ "destroying surveillance" is not correct English and "paying them back later" doesn't make sense.
How about this?

- Clark Kent Outfit: Nikolas is one of the medics on the ship, but underneath the labcoat he is ripped with bulging muscles and six-pack abs. Yoshiki tends to wear a button-down shirt and suspenders, but when he works in the engineering room, he takes his shirt off and is revealed to have a six-pack.
- Fun with Acronyms: Dai's name, D.A.I., means Destructive Artificial Intelligence. She prefers to spell it like Dai cause it rhymes with "die."
Dai: There's nothing I enjoy more than a good play on words.
- The Password Is Always "Swordfish": The password on Jordan's father's tablet... is "password." Even Ai lampshades that it's a weak password.
- Russian Roulette: Vladimir can be killed this way from losing the Bidding Game in Chapter 2. Since there are no guns on the ship, Dai makes him pour vodka into vials and a drop of poison into one before putting them into a centrifuge to mix them up. The chambers are numbered, meaning he already knew which one the poisoned drink was, and swallows it, knowing it leads to his death.
- Sacrificial Lamb: Sora is always the first player to die regardless of the timeline you jump to.
- Shout-Out:
- In Day 1 when playing with Melody, you play with her dinosaurs and have this dialogue.
Jordan: *ROAR* We dinosaurs shall rule over this land. It shall be named... Garden Land.
Melody: That's a silly name. Let's call it something else.
Jordan: Ah! Curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal! - In Day 11 during the Logiship Game, if you select #3, you find out you killed yourself. The achievement for it is "I immediately regret my decision."
- In Day 1 when playing with Melody, you play with her dinosaurs and have this dialogue.

For Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes:
- Demoted to Extra: While several characters from Three Houses are AscendedExtras in this game, others are victims of this trope.
- Gilbert/Gustave is the Sixth Ranger and Number Two of the Blue Lions in Three Houses and the Tritagonist of the Azure Moon route. He is also one of the Mutually Exclusive Party Members and The Mentor of Dimitri in Azure Moon. However, he is an NPC in Three Hopes and his role as The Mentor and Sixth Ranger of the Blue Lions is given to his comrade-in-arms Rodrigue (who is an NPC/Guest-Star Party Member in Three Houses). Also he is neither the army's second-in-command nor the Tritagonist of Azure Moon (sorry, Azure Gleam) in Three Hopes, due to Felix and Dedue being Dimitri's main retainers and the two Tritagonists of Azure Gleam instead.
- Cyril is a background character during the first half of Three Houses, but becomes a supporting character during the second half of the Siver Snow route and is the Sixth Ranger of the Golden Deers in the Verdant Wind route. He's also a playable character in almost every routes. However, he's an NPC in Three Hopes and never joins the Golden Deers for plot related reasons (he's instead working with the aforementioned Blue Lions). His role as the team's Sixth Ranger is given to Shamir, his mentor.
- Hanneman is one of the four teachers acting as the mentors of the playable characters in Three Houses. In said game, he becomes an Optional Party Member after clearing chapter 7 (which involves mopping the floor with his students) in every routes, despite being mostly affiliated with The Empire. Unfortunately he only joins The Empire in Three Hopes and isn't a playable character in the base game. While datamining implies that he might become a DLC character later on, it's still a downgrade compared to his role as a playable character from get-go in Three Houses.
- Alois the first member of the Knights of Seiros introduced in both Three Houses and Three Hopes suffers from this as well. While he has more screen time in Three Hopes than in Three Houses, he is a playable character in the latter but only a boss in the former.

For Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes:
- Suspiciously Similar Substitute: Several characters who are Demoted to Extra are replaced by characters who are related to them and have either similar outfits, movesets, roles or backstories. Among those are:
- Rodrigue, who replaces his friend Gustave as The Mentor and Sixth Ranger of the Blue Lions;
- Monica, who replaces her professor Hanneman as the Red Mage of the Black Eagles;
- Shamir who takes the role of Sixth Ranger of the Golden Deers from Cyril, her apprentice;
- Jetalt who becomes the 11th-Hour Ranger in every routes in Three Hopes. In Three Houses his former squire Alois (who is an NPC in Three Hopes) Was the 11th-Hour Ranger of the Academy phase of Three Houses instead.

For Just Here for Godzilla Visual Novel:
- Missing Parts The Tantei Stories: There are a few specific factions of why they wanna play Missing Parts.
- The ones who root for adorable non-romantic girls of the week.
- The ones who are in only for shipping materials.
- The ones who are only in for Case 3 "The Entrusted Paper Knife" and Case 5 "The Lost Pocket Watch", both are famous for their major plot developments and Character Focus on fan favorite characters such as Teppei (among Yaoi fangirls), Morikawa, Kyoka and Liangxue. However, they're also infamous for mean-spirited downer endings where the people The Hero roots for (Liangxue and Naoharu Morikawa, respectively) turn out to be arc villains in each case and meet their demises at the hands of the Big Bad via Heroic Sacrifice in any ways.
For Never Live It Down Visual Novels:
- Missing Parts The Tantei Stories:
- Kyōsuke Magami never lives it down for his Alcohol-Induced Idiocy in the beginning (but after the opening sequence) of Case 3 "The Entrusted Paper Knife" by stealing a (presumably) Colonel Sanders statue after drinking a few glasses of liquor at Spirit liquor bar and bringing that statue into his bathroomnote . The next morning, he's confused how and why could he stole that statue last night after drinking.
- Kyōka Narumi never lives it down for her "fathercon"note tendencies, particularly when Kyōka reluctantly confesses to Kyōsuke that she feels annoyed when her father (Seiji Narumi) has a bad behavior of drinking and often hangs out with her Childhood Friend Narumi Tsukishima at Spirit (the regular liquor bar Narumi always drinks at) before Seiji was reported disappeared a year ago. Even Narumi jokingly lampshades her for being a fathercon.
- Narumi Tsukishima will be remembered for her occasional Alcohol-Induced Idiocy behavior of chaotically ransacking Spirit (the name of the liquor bar she regularly drinks at), much to Master's A.K.A. Kaoru Yaejima's (the bartender and the owner of Spirit) chagrin, as exhibited in Case 2 "The Red Cameo".
- Liangxue Li is considered as the true or main heroine for a few fans, particularly in the Golden Ending where she realizes that she murdered lots of people under Yikai Wei's orders (as Yikai brainwashes her for long time since her adoption and turning her into an Obliviously Evil Dragon Lady), leading to her Heroic Sacrifice by Taking the Bullet when Yikai attempts to kill Kyōsuke with a gun. She ultimately dies from mortal injuries after being shot at/near the heart as the result of her action, and Kyōsuke's promise to become as himself who Liangxue likes before her death affects his character development.
- Emii A.K.A. Shigeyoshi Momochi, aside from his camp Ambiguously Gay personality, he never lives it down for hilariously "molesting" Teppei Shiraishi (his favorite type) offscreen as a requirement when Kyōsuke wants some important informations from Emii.

- In "The Rival", Anias gets zero punishment for her evil actions.
- In "The Nobody", neither The rest of the Wattersons nor Rob get punished for their actions.
- In "The Robot" Rocky and pretty much everyone else gets zero punishment for being mean to Gumball.
- Frame-Up: In "Everybody Hates Tom", Roy uses the sabotaged Helping Hands to make it look like Tom is Responsible.

For My Ideal Academia.
- Anger Born of Worry: Shirou had tried to seek and fight the Beast alone and suffered a serious injury. When he wakes up in the hospital from his injury, everyone is glad he survives but then gets mad at him for his action.
- Villain Respect: While fighting Mount lady and seeing how hard she fought to give her adopted son time, the Hero Killer Stain deems her a worthy hero.
So no response to my question?
- Lightswitch Surprise: At the end of "Silencer", Jagged Stone calls Bob Roth into his office, which Bob finds pitch black. Jagged turns a light on over himself, sporting a very serious tone and expressing his displeasure at Bob's attempts to plagiarize one of Kitty Section's songs (one of whom just happens to be his son).

In their debut appearance, the two act like dutiful Company agents whose only concern and preoccupation is Penny's dating life.
