* SuspiciouslyPrescientPlanning:
** {{Defied|trope}} in one case. Fujimaru Takagi hacks an encrypted memory chip that belongs to his father, a high-ranking agent of the Third-I section of the Public Security Intelligence Agency, and discovers it contains video of what appears to be a gruesome viral outbreak in Russia known as the Christmas Massacre. After reviewing the footage, Fujimaru begins to (correctly) suspect that a woman (seemingly the perpetrator) who briefly appeared in the video is currently posing as [[spoiler:the new teacher at his high school, Maya Orihara]]. Due to the Russian Orthodox Church using the Julian calendar, though, Christmas in Russia is actually celebrated on January 7th on the internationally accepted Gregorian calendar. [[spoiler:Maya]] knows it will appear suspicious if she immediately gives a prepared alibi for what should be an unremarkable date that passed several months ago, so when asked what she was doing that day, she instead pretends she's forgotten and fakes looking through her agenda to refresh her memory.
** Fujimaru eventually deduces that the rumored {{Mole}} within Third-I is [[spoiler:Sayuri Hosho]], who had earlier been shot in the chest at contact range but "miraculously" survived due to having a bulletproof vest on and instead only got knocked out for a bit. As Fujimaru explains, [[spoiler:Sayuri]] was shot by Jack Daemon, a PsychoForHire who openly enjoyed killing people, with his file even stating he's a former SWAT member who was dismissed due to needlessly increasing the body count on missions. But while all of his other kills had been shot in the head, he only shot [[spoiler:Sayuri]] in the chest, even though a ProfessionalKiller like him would've expected a Third-I agent to be wearing a bulletproof vest. Not only that, but he didn't even check to make sure his supposed enemy really was dead despite having ample time to do so. The only explanation is that he and [[spoiler:Sayuri]] were working together and planned on having the latter be shot in a non-lethal manner to hide that the two are allies.
** Third-I finds itself in a race against time looking for a [[spoiler:neutron]] bomb in Tokyo that a terrorist cult intends to detonate to initiate their "Bloody Monday" plot, which Third-I figures will occur in a few days at midnight on Sunday. Russia, who had the bomb stolen from them by the terrorists and had already fallen victim to a similar attack from the cult, sends Agent Sasha Kabalevsky to help with the search, and she quickly figures out the bomb's coordinates from Third-I's evidence. However, Russia does not trust the Japanese government and tells Third-I that if the bomb is not recovered by 11pm on Thursday, Russia will take matters into their own hands using methods Third-I will likely disapprove of ([[spoiler:namely, by blowing up the entire building that the bomb's located in to prevent detonation]]). Once Thursday rolls around, one of Third-I's allies notes how strange it is that Russia won't wait any later than 11pm that night to stop an attack that supposedly won't take place for another three days, especially since a tip-off from a mercenary hired by the cult also said to get out of the city Thursday morning. [[spoiler:Then it turns out that "Bloody Monday" actually falls on the equivalent of a Monday on the ancient Babylonian calendar used by the cult; on the Gregorian calendar, however, it instead coincides with Friday, meaning there's only hours left until the neutron bomb detonates at midnight]].

Added DiffLines:

* DemotedToExtra: Aoi was one of the central characters in the first season, but barely has a role in the subsequent ones.
Is there an issue? Send a MessageReason:
Loads And Loads Of Characters is no longer a trope


* LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters: The series start off as just a few high school kids trying to outsmart a teacher. Later on we have more than a dozen of main characters. The story reaches a point where if a minor or secondary character appears at least once then they'll play a larger role in the future. Heck by the end of the manga we still have new major characters appearing.
** [[spoiler: Chapter 86[[http://www.1000manga.com/Bloody_Monday/86/02-03/]] shows you how large the current cast of main and secondary characters is. That's excluding all the dead and minor characters.]]
** And now there's a whole new group of terrorists, the Shooter of the Magic Bullet, in the sequel of the manga.

Not So Different has been renamed, and it needs to be dewicked/moved


* NotSoDifferent: Maya and Hibiki: born in a WretchedHive and forced into espionage, [[spoiler: they're offered Japanese citizenship when their duties are complete (plus a ton each of gold and silver for Maya), and both become a little more peaceful in the end]].

Natter. Also not an example.


* HollywoodHacking: Computer security is portrayed accurately, with bad guys employing tools that would give the NSA fits -- but which takes the Falcon five minutes to crack the Third-I mainframe, including a two minute bathroom break.
** [[TheWorfEffect This is done just to show how much of an incredible hacker Fujimaru is.]]
*** It took Falcon under five minutes to crack a security system ''he designed himself''. Doesn't seem too unreasonable he'd have a back door.

[[note]]Such a thing exists for the purpose of image enhancement but it only guesses what the missing data is; the real thing cannot help you get a clear image of a blurry face as it was done here.[[/note]]
