Tropedia

  • 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.

  • Crowning Moment of Awesome: Noriega proclaims himself to be the King of Judoh to the Vita Company members. Giovanni then kicks the door open and shoots him. All of the Vita Company members then stand up and proceed to repeatedly shoot Noriega, as he realises that they were still loyal to Clair. Also The Battle of Kabuki Road, wherein a ramen chef deflects a hail of bullets with a frying pan, and Clair charges a tank with a hand grenade.
    • "And what did I say?" "....you piss me off." Cue Bay Side Slider and "Forcing restart."
  • Crowning Moment of Heartwarming: Come back, Mauro.
  • Crowning Music of Awesome: "Bay Side Slider", J's Powerup Theme Music, played on bagpipes and electric guitar.
    • Also "FACE", the opening theme. Hey! Boy! Looking for your soul! The second ending theme, "Hikari" by Kyoko's seiyuu Saeko Chiba is pretty nice, too.
  • Designated Villain: Toward the end, some characters view Clair as a villain when he obviously isn't in that villainous a position anymore.
  • Draco in Leather Pants: Clair and Shun. In Clair's case, the leather pants are literal as well as figurative!
  • Ensemble Darkhorse: Clair Leonelli and Ken Edmundo.
  • Fridge Brilliance: Shun effortlessly beats up Daisuke earlier in the series, but in the finale Daisuke has the upper hand. Is it heroic resolve? No, it's that Shun still hasn't completely recovered from the sniper bullet that went through his chest not too long ago
  • Fridge Logic: If Monica can barely manage to earn enough to pay for the trailer she shares with her mother, how can she afford to keep a donkey? And how is said donkey housetrained if there's no way it can fit into their trailer home?!
  • Hollywood Homely: Kyoko gets depressed when trading cards of beautiful girls are being passed around and there isn't one of her. Turns out there was, but she didn't know about it.
  • Ho Yay: Mitchal & Ian. The fact that Mitchal blew himself up shortly after Ian's death, and the fact that they're almost always together is certainly yaoi fodder.
  • Magnificent Bastard: Lorenzo Leonelli. His son Clair tries to live up to this, but falls short.
  • Memetic Molester: Lorenzo is known to have been physically and emotionally abusive to Clair, and thought to have been sexually abusive as well. His imposing and creepy nature doesn't help any.
  • The Scrappy: Again, Lorenzo. Many fans hate him for the way he treated Clair.
  • So Bad It's Good
  • The Woobie: Most of the important guys (and one little girl).
