History Manga / PopcornAvatar

%%* {{Bishonen}}: Yama, the Deva god of death.

* KansaiRegionalAccent: Jagganath, for some reason, speaks in this manner.

* IllGirl: Ryuudou Kyouko.

* SchoolgirlLesbians: Morino Mizuki, the Deva of Water, and her friend and Avatar Araki Sanae, though the latter has shown actual visible signs of it (having hit on both Ren/Agni and Lisa).

* BatterUp: The first Asura avatar does a ''six-armed'' version of this early on.

* BigBad: [[spoiler:The Ryuudo siblings]]. Possibly.

* BigEater: Lisa and Amano/Indra.

* {{Bishonen}}: Yama, the Deva god of death.

* CallingYourAttacks: This ''is'' a shounen battle manga after all.

* ChildhoodFriends: Tabe-chan, with Sanae and Mizuki.
* ClassRepresentative: Tabe.
* ClothingDamage: Happens to Lisa in Chapter 5.

* ContrivedCoincidence: All of the Devas and Asuras introduced so far have all been Japanese, and conveniently found in or close to the city Kurando and Lisa live in. This fact is even [[LampshadeHanging lampshaded]] in a later chapter.

* DiggingYourselfDeeper: [[http://www.mangareader.net/popcorn-avatar/14/9 Kurando just can't catch a break.]]

* HealingFactor: One of [[spoiler:Ryuudou Taiga's abilities as his sister's avatar]].

* ManicPixieDreamGirl: Lisa plays this role for Kurando. And she knows it [[http://i31.mangareader.net/popcorn-avatar/3/popcorn-avatar-2081441.jpg]].

* PerpetualFrowner: Kurando again. He slowly gets over it however.

* StatuesqueStunner: Lisa.
* SuperSpeed: Ryou's initial power with his first Asura.
* SuperStrength: Shown by the first Asura avatar.

** Sort of happens again when [[SenseiChan Yayoi Mizuki]][=/=]Ravanna [[http://www.mangareader.net/popcorn-avatar/21/8 wakes up a sleeping Kurando while leaning over him]].

* {{Yakuza}}: Indra's current incarnation, Shakuei Amano, is part of a family of this.

* NotSoDifferent: Kurando and [[spoiler:Ryuudou Taiga, brother to and avatar of Kyouko/Vritra]].

* FinalDeath: The reason why Asuras and Devas don't duke it out themselves is because their avatars become mortal if they materialize on the physical plane, which would permanently crush their souls to dust. We get to see this happen twice, and they really are gigantic Indian titans. [[FridgeBrilliance This means that almost all those gods visually depicted in mythology ''are dead'']].

This personal perspective is challenged however when, one rainy day, he is pushed off a bridge by a busty blonde. Instead of falling to his death, as one would normally expect, he is given the ability to fly, and avoid the very messy fall into the river below. As he soon finds out from Lisa Vayu, the one who caused his fall to begin with, the power he has been given has a catch: he is now Lisa's avatar, her chosen representative in a battle where the fate of the whole world was in balance.

* [[MonsterOfTheWeek The Asura and their avatar of the week]]

* CorruptBureaucrat: [[spoiler:The police commissioner has been working with the Asura faction by supplying them a constant stream of convicted criminals to be used as their avatars]].

--->'''Lisa''' (while running after Kurando): Give me back my first time!

* [[ItsNotYouItsMyEnemies It's Not You, It's Your Enemies]]: The reason why Ren/Agni's first boyfriend makes an exit very quickly.

* JerkassGods: Most Asura themselves count, but this is also how [[spoiler:Kyouko/Vritra]] views the gods who had a hand in creation. Brahma, who created the world in the first place, did so on a whim and immediately abandoned it, while Vishnu, the aspect supposed to oversee creation from that point, doles out punishments and blessings without rhyme or reason.

* GagBoobs: Lisa. Ravanna even moreso.
* GreenEyes: Lisa.

* TheCheerleader: While showing none of the associated negative traits, Lisa pretty much becomes Kurando's ''literal'' cheerleader, and even dresses for the part. This is justified in a way, as there's very little Lisa ''can'' do but cheer for Kurando, as she can't intervene directly in avatar battles.

* FragileSpeedster: Kurando's initially this, as Lisa observes that he has "no toughness or power".
** LightningBruiser: What he becomes after he's been fighting for a while.

[[caption-width-right:250:Lisa and Kurando.]]

* BigDamnHeroes: Indra and her avatar's first appearance can be only described as this, complete with [[GreatMazinger dramatic lightning bolt]].

* WetSariScene: Lisa's first appearance has her soaking wet in the rain, which makes it so her bra is plain to see under her school blouse.

* HotMom: Lisa's mom Helen is quite a looker.

* CasualKink: Due to a misunderstanding, the males in the class assume that Kurando and Lisa are in [[{{BDSM}} "that"]] kind of relationship, with Lisa as the "master".

* AllMenArePerverts: Played by Kurando's male classmates to the hilt, to the point where they interpret Kurando's injuries after a battle as the result of him and Lisa [[{{BDSM}} "playing rough"]].

* MissFanservice: Why yes, Lisa ''also'' fills this role.

* SickeningSweethearts: Ren and her boyfriend initially are like this. [[TooGoodToLast It doesn't last past the first Deva and Asura battle they watch]].

* Bishonen: Yama, the Deva god of death.
