* KirkSummation: Takeru pulls one off with Fujimaru, who ''attempts'' to do a ShutUpKirk, but doesn't quite succeed.
* LetNoCrisisGoToWaste: The city government sure didn't waste any time in setting up a dictatorship after meteors hit Tokyo. [[spoiler:Subverted in that it turns out that ''they'' were the ones who caused said fall of meteors in the first place, so.]]
* StormingTheCastle: Most of the series is the heroes making their way to Shinjuku precisely so they can do this.
* TheTeam:
** Being TheHero, Takeru is (implicitly) TheLeader, as well as TheHeart. Though no one would look to him for a strategy, he tends to be the one taking charge and whose lead the others follow.
** While Fujimaru could also fit the role, Souichi is TheLancer in the first half of the series, typically being the one fighting alongside Takeru but generally being far more down-to-earth and strategic than him. Eventually, he joins Ken and Souji as TheBigGuy.
** Fujimaru, being the GadgeteerGenius and MrExposition of the group, is the TheSmartGuy. Aside from technical and intelligence support, he's also the group's primary driver/pilot.
** Both Ken and Souji are TheBigGuy, with their main roles being to provide muscle support.
** Akane is TheMedic, being the NonActionGuy who patches up the heroes.

->''"If you can laugh it off, you'll always manage somehow!"''
-->'''--Takeru Shakudou'''
Two years ago, Tokyo was supposedly hit by meteors, rendering it an island isolated from the rest of the world, receiving help from only the Governor Kuroyuki. However, their saviour soon revealed herself to be a dictator, and any attempts to defy her now are pointless, as she wields an army of ''tekigousha''--people who possess right arms with mysterious abilities.
One day, Takeru Shakudou awakens, with no memories of the past two years and suddenly discovering his power a tekigousha. Quickly discovering the cruelty of Kuroyuki's reign, he vows to take her down and restore happiness to the people, no matter how hard he has to fight.

->''"If you can laugh it off, you'll always manage somehow!"''
-->'''--Takeru Shakudou'''
Two years ago, Tokyo was supposedly hit by meteors, rendering it an island isolated from the rest of the world, receiving help from only the Governor Kuroyuki. However, their saviour soon revealed herself to be a dictator, and any attempts to defy her now are pointless, as she wields an army of ''tekigousha''--people who possess right arms with mysterious abilities.
One day, Takeru Shakudou awakens, with no memories of the past two years and suddenly discovering his power a tekigousha. Quickly discovering the cruelty of Kuroyuki's reign, he vows to take her down and restore happiness to the people, no matter how hard he has to fight.
''Snow White and Seven Dwarfs'' (''Shirayukihime to 7-nin no Shuujin'') is a manga by Kuroko Yabuguchi, though its title can also be read as ''Snow White and the Seven Prisoners''. It takes place in a post-apocalyptic Japan, and is very loosely based off of the original tale of SnowWhiteAndTheSevenDwarves.
----
!! Tropes associated with Snow White and Seven Dwarfs:

* AlasPoorVillain: Takeru is ''not'' happy at all when [[spoiler:Uzuki]] dies.

* BadassCrew: Takeru and co.
* BadassFamily: Souichi and Souji, though it takes a while before Souichi's convinced to let Souji fight as well.

* BewareTheNiceOnes: Takeru.
* BigBrotherInstinct: Souichi.
* BioAugmentation: What each tekigousha has been through to give them their special right arm.

* GratuitousEnglish: K.K. occasionally spits this out.
* HeelFaceTurn: Fujimaru and K.K. both pull one at different times, for different reasons.

** K.K., while normally content with just taking orders, betrays the government to [[spoiler:save Fujimaru's life]].
* HeterosexualLifePartners: Fujimaru and K.K., what with being ChildhoodFriends.
