Grumpy Bear is no longer a trope. Moving examples to other tropes when applicable.


** Nephthys [[LampshadeHanging Lampshades]] this by pointing out how Kodya's [[GrumpyBear gruff and cynical nature]] might explain this better than any special qualities Gyrus might have.

* MissFanservice: Most of the female cast wears a FormFittingWardrobe and get a couple of fanservice scenes, mostly Tori. Averted with Tori's NoJustNoReaction to being offered a ChainmailBikini that's supposedly a piece of very high-level armor.

* RetGone: Season 3 introduced the character [Redacted], whose appearance is a dark grey silhouette with a black box censoring their face. People in-universe see an actual person with an actual name, it's just the audience who doesn't get to know [Redacted]'s identity. The implication is that at some point in the future their identity becomes retroactively erased.

Added a bunch of Season 2 tropes. Still needs a lot more wiki magic.


* TheAssimilator: [[spoiler: Don can assimilate the boss swords and the souls of the ones who carry them, regaining their abilities.]]



* BitchInSheepsClothing: [[spoiler: Don. Even when it was just him, Gyrus, and Masiosare, he always ended up being the one to backstab Gyrus in the end.]]



* CuteBruiser: Sylvia is a RoseHairedSweetie. She can also lift several tons, catch boulders, and [[TheWorfEffect physically restrain Tori]], all while still being rather cheerful and affectionate to others.

to:

* CuteBruiser: Sylvia ** In Season 2, Don is a RoseHairedSweetie. She can also lift several tons, catch boulders, orange. [[spoiler: Masiosare has green and [[TheWorfEffect physically restrain Tori]], all while still being rather cheerful and affectionate to others. black.]]



* CuteBruiser: Sylvia is a RoseHairedSweetie. She can also lift several tons, catch boulders, and [[TheWorfEffect physically restrain Tori]], all while still being rather cheerful and affectionate to others.



** [[spoiler: This is the ultimate fate of Masiosare, who is "killed" by Gyrus taking his body back from his future self's mind.]]
* DespairEventHorizon: [[spoiler: Masiosare is a possible future of Gyrus where he experienced this, deciding to just end the Room of Swords and everyone in it to stop Don.]]



* FissionMailed: [[spoiler: Done towards the end of Season 2 as part of Feather's Breaking Point: Bad Trip, which temporarily traps Don, who perceives time as far longer than it actually is as part of it--complete with a false season ending and a fake advert. The false comment section sees Don, Feather, and Masiosare commenting, with the latter telling Feather to let Don go.]]



* FutureMeScaresMe: [[spoiler: Masiosare, the entity behind everyone's appearance in the Room of Swords, is a potential future of Gyrus where he stopped caring about others in his quest to destroy Don and the Room of Swords.]]



** [[spoiler: In the end, we learn that Masiosare--the godlike entity that invited everyone to the Room in the first place--is actually a possible future of Gyrus.]]
* LiteralSplitPersonality: Xinju's ability is to split himself into 6 chakra clones. He blames Gyrus for losing his seventh, the heart chakra clone. [[spoiler: His heart chakra clone, Hinju/Serdtse, actually survived, but is currently in hiding from Don. They reunite into Ainju during the endgame of Season 2.]]



* MentalWorld: [[spoiler: The Black Box, though it's also a good deal more than that.]]



* OneWingedAngel: [[spoiler: As he starts to reabsorb the boss swords, Don starts to live up to his "cockroach king" epithet.]]
* [[ThrownDownAWell Oubliette]]: [[spoiler: The Room of Swords is a prison for Don.]]



* ThePowerOfLove: [[spoiler: What allows Nephthys to see a future that Masiosare could not, even after hijacking her foresight.]]



* RealityWarper: [[spoiler: Don, though he can't manipulate anything beyond the three dimensions he's presently in. The boss swords are fragments of Don's power mixed with Masiosare's, which is why they grant the powers they do. Speaking of which: Masiosare is a future of Gyrus with absolute control over the Black Box, with powers over spacetime mastered.]]



** This is later revealed to be the result of [[spoiler: MentalTimeTravel--namely, stabbing yourself with the sword restores you and your mind at your past self's location in an alternate timeline.]]



* StalkedByTheBell: The Black Sun in the sky disappears in about 36 hours on every Voyage. The smaller amount of time is left, the more[[TheDreaded Shadow Monsters]] appear, and if the characters are still present when time is up, it's GameOver.

to:

* StableTimeLoop: [[spoiler: Masiosare, the entity behind everyone's summoning to the Room of Swords, is a potential future of Gyrus that spent years manipulating the probabilities of Gyrus's future to ensure his own existence--the result of Gyrus reaching a DespairEventHorizon and deciding to annihilate the Room of Swords and everyone in it as a way of preventing Don from controlling the Black Box. Then defied: Nephthys finds a future that Masiosare could not, resulting in Gyrus's present self taking over and killing him.]]

* {{Wingdinglish}}: Sylvia, being a cavewoman, uses a variant instead of the language everyone else does: Emoji-lish. [[spoiler: The Shadows use a more traditional version.]]

Every indication so far is that there's no "mistaken" about it.

Badass In Charge is only meant to be an index, not a trope on its own.


** [[spoiler:Gyrus]] is implied to be this, as all the experienced characters imply that he was once TheAce or even the BadassInCharge of their group before his disappearance and amnesia. His original CowardlyLion nature shocks Kodya, who apparently used to look up to him.
