History Manga / Psyren

* AndTheJourneyContinues: The ending of the Manga heavily implies that the fight isn't quite over yet. [[spoiler:Yes, the future has changed, but all of W.I.S.E. are probably still alive by having been teleported out of the military carpet bombing. Ageha and Sakurako save #07 and the Elmore are getting hard looks from the government. Other characters like Oboro are also far from done causing trouble and he's not beyond using his career to tell everyone about Psyren. Finally, Ageha and Amagi and their teams are probably destined to have a final battle for the fate of the world. Plus small stuff like Ian and Fubiki aren't shown as having gotten together yet.]]

* AntiClimax: [[spoiler: Ageha and Miroku's fight, considering Amagi Miroku is one of the most powerful PSI-users, with the power to manipulate life energy, and is the leader of W.I.S.E and BigBad of the manga ([[UnwittingPawn kind of]]). It takes all but one chapter for Ageha to beat and fatally wound him (in ironically enough the exact time frame his [[OneWingedAngel Raging King]] last).]]
** [[spoiler: Miroku still lived for several chapters after the attack.]] Also taking the FridgeBrilliance entry below into account, [[spoiler: Miroku's body was made of souls/PSI energy and Ageha's abilities are anathema to that.]]
** A more extreme example would be [[spoiler: Amagi and Ageha's final battle with [[HumanoidAbomination Mithra]]. The fight lasts all of one page, and Amagi does nothing.]]

*** Seems like [[spoiler: the meteor ''wants'' to do that on its own, but can't. The "Promised Tears" that Mithra used supposedly acted as a homing beacon for the meteor.]]

* AxCrazy: [[spoiler: Yusuka, ''dear god'' Yusuka.]]
** [[spoiler: Abyss]]

* BladeRun: [[spoiler: Asuka]] manages to pull one off, triggering a fight against Junas.

* ConvectionSchmonvection: Managed to almost be subverted when Miroku [[spoiler: is "carbonized"- he obviously should be very much dead right now, but he's still standing and his eyes and brain are still intact. [[ArtisticLicensePhysics That's not how being carbonized works]].]]

** Right before that was Dholaki and Shiner vs the Drifters,[[spoiler: if it wasn't for Root the Drifters would've have been crushed.]]

** Sakurako delivers a very satisfying one to [[spoiler: Shiner.]] Might be unfair since [[spoiler:[[LiteralSplitPersonality she had help.]]]]

** Also when considering [[spoiler: Shao, who was better suited to fighting Vigo, almost had his heart torn out and then narrowly escaped being sealed in concrete during that short time. It is not difficult to imagine Vigo accomplishing his objective. The [[NonLethalKO one hit knockout]] is still an eyebrow raiser though.]]

** [[spoiler: As of chapter 138, it is confirmed that Ouroborous/Mithra is this. Even revealing its own true name as Quat Nevas, or as it titles itself "The One That Devours Stars.]]

* [[spoiler: EnemyMine[=/=]RivalsTeamUp: [[TheHero Ageha]] and [[BigBad Miroku]] team up to take down Mithra at the end of the Manga.]]
* EnergyBeings: [[spoiler: Asuka says that one becomes this when they master Nova]].

* EvilAllAlong: [[spoiler: Yusuka as of chapter 101.]]
* EvilTwin: [[spoiler: Amagi Miroku to Nemesis Q.]]

** [[spoiler: Ian, [[HeroicRROD overtaxing his PSI energy and destroying his brain]] by continuously healing people nonstop for 48 hours. Although this does give off shades of a heroic suicide, seeing that that the war had already taken everything else (read: the love of his life) from him.]]

* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Villainous version [[spoiler: Through Miroku's efforts to create a new world he inadvertantly offered the world on a platter to a CosmicHorror. [[PlanetEater Literally]].]]
** [[spoiler: In fact everyone's fights in the arc basically lead to this, so [[SarcasmMode nice job everyone!]]]]

* NotQuiteDead: [[spoiler: As of chapter 121, Vigo]].

** [[spoiler: And now Ageha and Amamiya have learned it too. In Amamiya's case it lets her fight together with her [[LiteralSplitPersonality other half, "Abyss"]], while enhancing the abilities of both. Ageha surrounds himself with Melchesse's Door to manifest a OneWingedAngel form called "Raging King".]]

* TranquilFury: [[spoiler: Asuka]] displays this when he [[spoiler: confronts Junas who had just impaled his son through the abdomen]].
* UnflinchingWalk - [[spoiler: Kabuto]] does during their fight with Ash. Inverted slightly due to walking through/past the explosions rather than from them.

* ImpersonatingAnOfficer: In an early chapter a pair of goons show up at Ageha's school trying to get his Psyren card. They flash fake police badges, but luckily for Ageha one of his classmates is the son of the local police chief and can tell the difference.

It was published in Weekly Shounen Jump from December 2007 to November 2010 and has been licensed by Creator/VizMedia. Volume 1 appeared State-side December 2010. Also it has two light novels written for it.

* SatelliteCharacter: A lot of people introduced at the beginning of the story have no part in later chapters. For example, Hiroki and Saka are introduced as two of Ageha's friends. As soon as Ageha starts working as a Drifter, both of them disappear entirely from the story. In fact, anyone who doesn't have some kind of power or who aren't directly related to someone who does disappear. Okumura, president of the school's Occult Research Club, gets to provide crucial plot details once before he is rendered completely useless.

* SatelliteCharacter: Hiroki and Saka are introduced as two of Ageha's friends at the beginning of the story. As soon as Ageha starts working as a Drifter, both of them disappear from the story.

* FiveManBand: Both the main group and Elmore's kids fall into this trope.
** Ageha's Group
*** TheHero - Ageha
*** TheLancer - Sakurako [[spoiler:Especially pronounced after she learns Nova.]]
*** TheSmartGuy - Kabuto
*** TheBigGuy - Hiryuu (of the GeniusBruiser flavor, is sometimes TheLancer early on as well)
*** TheChick - Oboro (also TheMedic).
*** [[TheSixthRanger The Sixth Rangers]] - [[spoiler:Matsuri and Kagetora]]
** Elmore's Kids
*** TheHero - Fredrica [[spoiler:Eventually demoted to Lancer status]]
*** TheLancer[=/=]TheSmartGuy - Shao
*** TheBigGuy - Kyle
*** TheChick - Marie [[poiler:Eventually becomes the leader as well as TeamMom]]
*** TheMedic[=/=]TheQuietOne - Van
*** TheSixthRanger - Ageha
** The W.I.S.E. Starship Commanders
*** BigBad - Grana
*** TheDragon - Junas
*** EnigmaticMinion - Shiner
*** EvilGenius - Caprico
*** TheBrute - Dholaki

* NotSoDifferent: Yusaka sees incredible similarities between Ageha and Miroku.

* ApocalypseWow: [[spoiler:The energy from Amagi's "Sephiroth Tree," which had blanketed the entire world in his power and was on the brink of [[PlayingGod starting a new race]], is all absorbed when [[CosmicHorror Quat Nevas]] [[GiantSpaceFleaFromNowhere arrived]], which used it to start drilling to the Earth's core in order to [[PlanetEater consume the planet]]]]. Played with in that [[spoiler:it is [[AlternateContinuity ultimately prevented]]]].

* ZettaiRyouiki
** Amamiya Sakurako.
** [[spoiler:'''Future''' Fredrica]].

* CastFromHitPoints: Overusing PSI and/or using emotions to fuel it instead of concentration can cause brain damage for the user. The raw Melchesse's Door, Frederica's {{Pyrokinesis}} and Nova are especially prone to this.

*** TheChick - Marie (spoiler:Eventually becomes the leader as well as TeamMom]]

*** TheChick - Marie ([[spoiler:Eventually becomes the leader as well as TeamMom]]

* ActionBomb: [[spoiler:Yusaka]].
* ActionGirl: Sakurako, and so naturally [[spoiler:Abyss]].

* AnIcePerson: #03.

* BloodKnight: Junas, hence his quote on the Character Sheet. [[spoiler:Future!Kyle]] has shades of this, as shown [[http://www.mangafox.com/manga/psyren/v15/c117/10.html here]]
* BodyHorror: The process in which Tavoo are born, [[spoiler:as well as Oboro's Biological Ruin technique.]]

** Ageha's Black Burst. [[spoiler:Constrasting with Miroku's white bursts.]] This aspect is taken to an extreme with Ageha's [[spoiler:[[http://www.mangafox.com/manga/psyren/v15/c136/19.html Raging King Nova]]]]. [[SuperPoweredEvilSide At least we hope not]].

* {{Fanservice}}: Very rarely, but can there be any other reason to have [[http://www.mangareader.net/346-53886-1/psyren/chapter-123.html a cover]] with Sakurako, Marie, and Fredrica wearing what is arguably lingerie, but is certainly enticing nonetheless.

* IKnowYourTrueName: Shao's Trance-aligned abilities take a form of this, where he's able to see who a person really is on the inside, whether it be a starry sky (that is, Ageha) or something far more terrifying, like [[http://www.mangafox.com/manga/psyren/v07/c055/17.html THIS]].

** [[spoiler:Sakurako´s dark inner self is AxCrazy and [[strike:pretty]] '''[[http://www.mangafox.com/manga/psyren/v13/c105/9.html really]]''' obsessed with Ageha.]]

* JerkassFacade: Fredrica

* GoOutWithASmile: [[spoiler:Yusaka]] is a rare villainous example.

* {{Kuudere}}: Sakurako. She hardened herself so much when she started going to Psyren, [[spoiler:it created a schism in her mind, and all of her stronger emotions took the form of Abyss]]. Ever since Ageha answered her plea to save her, she's been opening up more and more.

* LuminescentBlush: Sakurako upon realizing she spilled out all of her feelings to Ageha, despite the facade she's built up for so long of [[{{Kuudere}} imperviousness]]. Ageha gets one too upon remembering his response, both of which become full red faces.

* ConvectionSchmonvection: Managed to almost be subverted when Miroku [[spoiler: is "carbonized"- he obviously should be very much dead right now, but he's still standing and his eyes and brain are still intact. [[YouFailPhysicsForever That's not how being carbonized works]].]]

* FiveBadBand: The W.I.S.E. Starship Commanders
** BigBad - Grana
** TheDragon - Junas
** EnigmaticMinion - Shiner
** EvilGenius - Caprico
** TheBrute - Dholaki

* AnimeHair: Ageha and Hiryuu have mild forms of it, whereas Kyle looks like he's a [[DragonBall Super-Saiyan]].

* CooldownHug: Ageha does this to [[spoiler:Abyss]] when she goes [[BerserkButton berserk]] after he tells her he wants [[spoiler:the other Sakurako]] back. [[GenreSavvy Knowing]] [[UnstoppableRage she wants to kill him]], he knocks her out and uses Melchsee's [[spoiler:Vortex]] to continue is ''other'' fight.

* {{Badass}}: Kagetora, the Elmore kids, and Grana.
** Pretty much every character in the series actually. Even Kabuto [[TookALevelInBadass starts getting badass]] eventually.
** This shonen is unique in that even TheMedic characters are {{badass}}. Healing effectively with PSI requires you to synchronize with your target's rhythm (breathing, pulse, etc.), a mindset which naturally has quite a few combat applications.
