Find a Trope:
resolved Is this a case of Shared Family Quirks? Anime
Rumiko Takahashi wrote a short manga story called "Excuse Me For Being A Dog!!", in which the main character comes from a family cursed so its menfolk turn into dogs temporarily if they get too excited or suffer a nosebleed. Since he's tied to this cursed family through his father, there's several scenes where both of them turn into dogs. Does this count as an example of the trope Shared Family Quirks?
openAdaptational Time Period or Dub Induced Setting? Anime
Is there a name or trope for when a show in its original language doesn't specify the time period or year the setting takes place, but a foreign dubbed version does? I started watching the English dubbed version of the 1979 Anne of Green Gables anime that was uncovered, and I noticed that the Japanese version, similarly to the book, doesn't specify which year the series takes place in, whereas this English dub (specifically, episode 3) explicitly sets it in the year 1870. I wanted to try adding this to the series' page, but I can't find a trope that specifies this. If anyone could help with this, I'd really appreciate it.
resolved Differing Cities (?) Anime
What is the trope where there is a futuristic city while the primary setting the protagonists have is a reminiscent of a city from either 20th or 21st Century? Rich/poor division is not the focus here, so it will not be Urban Segregation.
Context from Twilight Star Sui and Neri:
openScene from Sousou no Frieren doubt Anime
My question is if this scene counts as camera abuse or as reality-breaking since when watching it closely there is a scene in which the broken glass is behind the two spheres, if it were camera abuse they would be in front, that's why maybe I think it's reality breaking Since as far as scenes that I could remember were one from the movie Dragon Ball vs Broly in which the fighters clashing fists break reality, but I'm not totally sure.
I give you the scenes I am referring to, the left is the scene from Sousou no Frieren and the right is from the movie that I am giving as an example.
resolved Magical Girl Companion Animal Anime
Exactly what it says on the tin. Most magical girl teams feature a creature that tags along and is usually responsible for giving the team their powers.
resolved Neutralizing the strongest asset of the enemy Anime
Is there a trope matching the tactic of going after the strongest element of an enemy to disable them for good ?
As explained in Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Main Characters under Chess Motif for Athrun Zala, this is his main role since receiving his Infinite Justice. He usually goes against those strong elements to occupy and neutralise them, leaving Kira free to do the damage, his Gundam is even specialized to force duels with his close-combat arsenal.
openCan always detect their own kind Anime
In Manga/Parasyte, the Parasites have the ability to detect another member of their species, even while outwardly appearing human.
Which trope is this? Psychic Radar? Supernatural Sensitivity? They don't seem to have any other Psychic Powers.
openRandom rocks exploding Anime
Two really powerful characters clash, and the show zooms in on a random rock formation nearby exploding from the shockwaves. An example is One Piece episode 1062 at the end of the clash between Zoro and King
Is there a name for this?
Edited by TheForsakenOne
I was wondering if a trope page exists for something like this? This exists outside of anime, but is pretty common specifically in anime. Either for titles associated as a group, or for an individual. I think the character doesn't specifically need to be incredibly powerful to fit into this trope, just that they actually have a title, but obviously it's more common for a powerful character to be given a title. Here are some examples:
One Piece: - World's Greatest Swordsman - The Strongest Creature - Shikibukai (Seven Warlords of the Sea) - Yonko (Four Emporers)
Toriko: - The Four Heavenly Kings - Gourmet Human National Treasures - "Knocking" Master
Feng Shen Ji: - Greatest Swordsman Under Heaven - Great Generals of the Dark Ones
Bleach: - Captains of the Gotei 13
God of Highschool: - The Six
