Before making a single edit, Tropedia EXPECTS our site policy and manual of style to be followed. Failure to do so may result in deletion of contributions and blocks of users who refuse to learn to do so. Our policies can be reviewed here.
All images MUST now have proper attribution, those who neglect to assign at least the "fair use" licensing to an image may have it deleted. All new pages should use the preloadable templates feature on the edit page to add the appropriate basic page markup. Pages that don't do this will be subject to deletion, with or without explanation.
All new trope pages will be made with the "Trope Workshop" found on the "Troper Tools" menu and worked on until they have at least three examples. The Trope workshop specific templates can then be removed and it will be regarded as a regular trope page after being moved to the Main namespace. THIS SHOULD BE WORKING NOW, REPORT ANY ISSUES TO Janna2000, SelfCloak or RRabbit42. DON'T MAKE PAGES MANUALLY UNLESS A TEMPLATE IS BROKEN, AND REPORT IT THAT IS THE CASE. PAGES WILL BE DELETED OTHERWISE IF THEY ARE MISSING BASIC MARKUP.
Dare to Be Badass - Minato often calls people onto this. Got it himself a couple of times.
Break the Badass - There was an entire chapter about Minato coming to terms with his fear of dying after being called out by Ryoji. Also, Shinji's resolution after Akihiko's death.
Crowning Moment of Heartwarming - The ENTIRE Epiclouge. Yes, even the parts where Minatos threatens Metatron to stay out of his business and he crushes Izanami after the events of Persona 4 with THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE
Not to mention chapter 94 when Minato sleeps with Mitsuru and technically has "robo-sex" with Aegis while dating Yukari who is in this story is Little Miss Weapon Wieldin' Mood Swings. And earlier in story, he did it to Chihiro and Yuko! Good thing he is also a Manipulative Bastard. He does feel guilty about it though...
Very, Very nearly Jin. The one flaw in The Plan was that he didn't account for Jun Kurosu.
Nightmare Fuel - How the author goes into GREAT detail about how Nyarlathlotep destroys most of Minato's Personae falls greatly into this trope.
When Minato gets scared, you'll know it, because the Narrator keeps narrating through the fear. It get's really bad when he's scooping his lungs up off the floor and running for his life while under Panic.
Rated "M" for Manly - Played straight and inverted. It's a very intellectual story, but the guns are huge and destructive, every other character is badass to some degree, and lots of things go boom.
Replacement Scrappy - Averted HARD. Shinji's development after Akihiko's death is flawless.
