5	Akatsuki Ousawa returns to Earth from another world after defeating the Demon King Garius. He brings along the busty, pink-haired Miu, Garius' daughter whom he entrusted to Akatsuki with his dying breath. They're forced to attend the Japan branch of BABEL, a high school for teens returning from other worlds and their special powers. Akatsuki passes Miu off as his sister and they go through the difficulties of adapting back to Earth life while threats and ominous shadow organizations from Earth and other worlds hound their every footstep.

7	An animated adaptation aired during the Summer 2012 Season. Later it was released by Creator/{{Funimation}} in December 2013 under the name ''Aesthetica of a Rogue Hero''. There is also a manga adaptation entitled ''Hagure Yuusha no Kichiku Bigaku'' or, literally, "A Maverick Hero's Brutish Aesthetics".
8
9	----
10	!!This series provides examples of:
11
12	* AbsurdlyPowerfulStudentCouncil:
13	** The Student Council President runs the Japan BABEL sector, and has taken an interest in our Maverick Hero. May be seen as [[JustifiedTrope justified]], since the Student Council President is by far more powerful than his [[AdultsAreUseless professors]].
14	** Zigzagged with the other members. While they are certainly more powerful than the rest of the students, they pale in comparison to Akatsuki, and even when all three of them attempt to take him on, he still beats them with little trouble. Were it not for a more serious situation occurring at that moment, he would have beaten them in the tournament during episode 8.
15	* AlwaysInClassOne: TheHero and his [[HaremGenre harem]] are in the class B. However, the [[AbsurdlyPowerfulStudentCouncil Student Council]] are in the class A ([[spoiler:but TheHero will join the class A with his [[HaremGenre harem]]]]).
16	* AnnoyingArrows: Izumi's main form of attack.
17	* AnotherDimension: There are several, which power up visiting minors, surprisingly allow a trip home, and let said students keep their abilities as souvenirs.
18	* AlienSky: The world Akatsuki visited, became a hero in, and took Miu from has two moons that glow blue and green in the sky.
19	* BeachEpisode: Episode 7
20	* BerserkButton: Episode 6 provides a couple:
21	** For Ousawa Akatsuki it's his father and a girl's tears. Threatening Myuu or her friends will also trigger it.
22	** For Motoharu, it's less obvious, but it's Scarlet Dusk, apparently.
23	* BigBad: Lord Baram, though he's more of a NonActionBigBad while Phil acts as TheHeavy.
24	* BigDamnHeroes: Akatsuki, when the programmed cockatrice got all its [[RestrainingBolt restraining bolt]]s removed. [[spoiler: He also shows up to save a little girl from terrorists the instant her tears hit the ground.]]
25	* {{BFS}}: Akatsuki's sword ''Laevateinn''. Requires 7 [=ADs=] to generate. [[spoiler:Becomes bigger and sharp with 8 [=ADs=].]]
26	* BlatantLies: Myuu asks Akatsuki why she had to be naked as he took her across the worlds, and he replied that interdimensional travel is easier naked. [[SubvertedTrope Subverted in the original novels.]] It really was easier. [[note]] He basically cheated by using his SupernaturalMartialArts to place his energy in her body, fooling the gate into thinking she was part of him.[[/note]]
27	* BloodKnight:
28	** Akatsuki's reaction to Kaito's unusual handshake is to ask if Kaito wants this handshake to escalate. Kaito backs off, saying he's only here to greet him. During their scuffle, both of them are clearly enjoying testing each other's skills.
29	** Phil is a straight example. He's way too eager to fight, and when he does, he usually beats his opponents pretty badly, if he doesn't outright kill them first.
30	* BreakThemByTalking:
31	** Phil gradually tears away at Myuu to demoralize her in episode 9, by telling her she'll be given a public execution to lure out the dark clans, that she must have seduced Akatsuki to save her own skin, and even if she somehow stopped him, more would be sent after her, putting her friends on Earth in danger.
32	** He tries it again in episode 11. However, he's much less successful this time around due to words of encouragement from Akatsuki prior to the fight.
33	* BreatherEpisode: Episode 5, which follows Myuu, Akatsuki, Kazuha, and Izumi as they go underwear shopping.
34	* BullyHunter: Akatsuki informs the JerkJock he's confronting that he is this, and enjoys bullying bullies.
35	* BullyingADragon: Akatsuki has shown time and again that he's quite powerful. Nevertheless, some people, especially Haruka from the student council, insist on "punishing" him and bringing him down a notch.
36	* ButtMonkey: Haruka towards Akatsuki. She always tries to punish him, but he ends up defeating her, usually by stealing her underwear.
37	* ChivalrousPervert: Even if a bigger pervert than usual examples, Akatsuki takes care not to inflict physical injuries on his female opponents (preferring to deal with them in... creative ways to say the least).
38	* ClassRepresentative: Kuzuha Doumoto, who is noticeably younger than her classmates in 1-B.
39	* CleavageWindow - Myuu's P.E. uniform inadvertently sports one - due to her "size" it can't be zipped up properly.
40	* ClothingDamage: Interestingly, in episode 6, Sleipnir zaps Akatsuki with enough force that it throws him across the room when he tries to touch the bike. But when Haruka tries to touch it, it zaps all of her clothing off, leaving only her socks and shoes. Akatsuki gives her his jacket, and interestingly, in the next scene a few hours later, she hasn't bothered to change into a spare uniform while taking out some terrorists.
41	* ConservationOfNinjutsu: Typically, the more opponents Akatsuki faces off against, the faster he defeats them.
42	* CoolBike: Sleipnir, the supersonic bike, is introduced in episode 6. It's also an EmpathicWeapon, shocking Akatsuki when he first tries to ride it, [[spoiler: and later, frying Haruka's clothes off after she tries to confiscate the bike from its new master, Akatsuki.]]
43	* CoolSword: The sinister-looking sword that buries itself in the ground pointy end first after falling from the sky during the anime opening sequence is Akatsuki's. Uesaki Ryouhei has a pimped-out scimitar.
44	* CreditsRunningSequence: Myuu does this in the ending song.
45	* CurbStompBattle: Akatsuki is generally on the giving end of these. Practically everyone he fights, whether a dark lord, or a JerkJock, or even a member of the AbsurdlyPowerfulStudentCouncil, usually ends up humiliated in defeat at best, or dead, in the case of the dark lord.
46	* CursedWithAwesome: Akatsuki repeatedly states that he cannot use spells, and in episode 3 of the anime it is shown that he can't make use of BABEL's Arms Device, a bracelet which supposedly creates a weapon fitting the wearer's personality, magic, and fighting style. Later in the episode, he is finally able to summon his weapon, but it takes at least ''seven'' of the bracelets to create a physical form for his powers.
47	* CuteMonsterGirl: Myuu
48	* DatePeepers: Myuu and Izumi follow Akatsuki and Kazuha into a manga cafe in episode 3.
49	* ADayInTheLimelight: Episode 6 of the anime showcases Hikami Kyouya's underlings, showing that the other two members under Haruka aren't just a yes-man and a pencil pusher.
50	* DCupDistress: Myuu is uncomfortable with her large bust.
51	* DeclarationOfProtection: Akatsuki does this for Myuu in episode 10.
52	* DefeatByModesty: Akatsuki disables the warrior-maid squad by teleporting their panties off their wearers. Actually, it's... uh, one his favorite tactics.
53	* Main/DidTheyOrDidntThey: Episode ten pushes this trope to its limit. Myuu tries to [[Main/IntimateHealing share her body heat]] with a seemingly unconscious Akatsuki. He is apparently naked (though the shadows are specifically drawn in a way that he might still be wearing underwear). She strips down to her panties and presses herself against him. He then starts grabbing her butt, still appearing unconscious. His hand start to pull her underwear aside, and then [[ImmodestOrgasm she arches her back and cries out in pleasure]]. He thanks her and says now they are both cured. Did they actually do it, or did he just manipulate her energy again?
54	* DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu: Akatsuki does this when he defeats Phil, [[spoiler:or rather, the dragon god the latter signed a pact with.]]
55	* DoubleStandardAbuseFemaleOnMale: While Akatsuki can typically dodge attacks from women, when he's being punished for being a pervert, they usually hit him, such as when he causes a PottyFailure to three girls in episode 2, and later when he steals underwear from them in episode 5.
56	* DualWielding: Haruka's Arms Device is a pair of curved blades.
57	* ElementalPowers: So far the anime has shown:
58	** BlowYouAway - Nanase Haruka at the very least manipulates wind for flight. Also in the manga, Myuu's Sorting Hat-like test results reveal an affinity for wind, but the anime shows her casting spells of various elements.
59	** DishingOutDirt - Doumoto Kuzuha, as well as the Student Council's Aihara Minami. Both can manipulate earth directly for attacks, or make constructs out of them.
60	** AnIcePerson - Hikami Kyouya
61	** MakingASplash - Izumi Chikage prefers to cover her target's head with a sphere of water. She can also blast enemies with water from her fingertips if there's enough of it nearby.
62	** PlayingWithFire - Uesaki Ryouhei, the student enforcer with EyesAlwaysShut. Also, Onizuka's elemental affinity.
63	* EnemyMine: The student council, who had largely been at odds with Akatsuki, end up helping him defeat Phil. Or at least slowing him down long enough for Akatsuki to recover.
64	* EpicFlail: Aihara Minami's Arms Device is a mean-looking spiked ball attached to a length of chain.
65	* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Myuu's father was the EvilOverlord back in her world.
66	** given what some of Alayzard's other leaders get up to, this may actually be simply a matter of perspective. Akatsuki, at least, seemed to hold a lot of respect for him, despite joining the fight because Myuu's father killed one of his best friends. Also, in the scene where Myuu's father asks Akatsuki to take Myuu home with him, it's clear that he's doing this because it's Myuu's best chance for a long (and hopefully happy) life - he's using his ''dying breath'' to ask his enemy to keep his daughter safe and well.
67	* EveryoneHasStandards: In episode 7, Akatsuki was preparing to take off Kazuha's one piece swimsuit, but he's stopped by Kaidou, who tells him that they're airing this and him taking the swimsuit off a little girl would have the MoralGuardians crack down on them. So Akatsuki relents and lets Kazuha keep her swimsuit.
68	* EvilOverlord: Myuu's Father.
69	* ExperiencedProtagonist: All those with magical powers, by virtue of having completed adventures in the alternate worlds.
70	* FanService: There's a lot of it, and when it's inflicted by Akatsuki, it's usually [[HilarityEnsues for laughs]].
71	* FireForgedFriends: Kazuha, Izumi, and Myuu all become this after sharing some humiliating things together. Despite the situations, they do become good friends as the show goes on.
72	** Awesome moment of sneaky: Akatsuki orchestrated at least one of these ''on purpose'', to help Myuu gain Kazuha and Izumi as friends and allies. Myuu's the only one who figures this out.
73	* ForcedOrgasm: Courtesy of Akatsuki's power to control internal organs. He's quite fond of using it on girls for this purpose.
74	* FormulaWithATwist: The series is a combination of both the {{Isekai}} and ExtranormalInstitute tropes in which people from the mundane world are so commonly summoned into other worlds that they then return with new powers which don't allow them to fit back into normal society. They are thus mandated to enter a special school for people with their credentials. The protagonist was a hero summoned to such a world but, after killing the Demon King, respected the man's dying wish by taking his daughter back to his world with him, where she can live a new life.
75	* FullPotentialUpgrade: Akatsuki needs over half a dozen Arms Device wristbands to be able to summon his sword.
76	* FunWithAcronyms: COCOON, which stands for "Children of Cross Over Other Nation"
77	* GeniusBruiser: Noted by a guy Akatsuki was fighting - "I thought you were just [[DumbMuscle all brawn]] and no brains... but your cognitive ability is impressive."
78	* GirlishPigtails: Miu sports them whenever she's not at home.
79	* GoodIsNotNice:
80	** Akatsuki may be the protagonist, but he's also a serious pervert, and isn't afraid to beat people down if they get on his nerves.
81	** Lord Baram as he deems the daughter of the dark lord to be a threat to their world even though she has done no harm and is even willing to have Akatsuki executed for aiding and protecting her even though he's a hero.
82	* HellYesMoment:
83	** [[spoiler:One occurs in episode 6, when Akatsuki [[StealthHiBye suddenly appears]] out of nowhere to punch a terrorist in the face after the little girl he had as a hostage shed some tears. While Haruka does criticize him for potentially endangering the girl, he brushes off her complaint, as he did save her.]]
84	** Another happens when Akatsuki catches up to Phil in episode 10.
85	* HandsomeLech: {{Zig-Zagged}} continually. Akatsuki doesn't have the slightest care when it comes to stripping anyone, especially females, of their clothes. Sometimes their embarrassment provokes him to toy with his current victim more. However, he is good-natured at heart and he will fight like hell to prevent any girl's tears from falling.
86	* HeroOfAnotherStory: Everyone in BABEL, since they are all returning "heroes".
87	* HeroAcademy: BABEL's schools function like this. A sci-fi WizardingSchool where the student council functions also as an EliteArmy unit.
88	* HopeSpot: One occurs in episode 11. Several characters attack the dragon, and it seems they're defeating it. [[spoiler:But then he recovers, and knocks several of them out, and taunts Myuu by wondering how she felt as they were on the verge of victory only to then have it taken away.]]
89	* HostageSituation: One occurs in the latter half of episode 6.
90	* {{Hubris}}: Despite being unable to defend herself from being stripped of her underwear multiple times by Akatsuki, Haruka still thinks he's nothing.
91	* TheHunterBecomesTheHunted: A game on the beach where all the other contestants must bring back Akatsuki's swimsuit within an hour turns into this.
92	* TheImmodestOrgasm: Akatsuki bites the earlobe of a battle maid he's succesfully grappled. She gives a shriek, and crumples to the ground, dazed. In the manga, it is deliberately stated that his special ability can be used this way. In the anime, he can also make them lose control of their bladder too.
93	* ImpossibleTheft: Akatsuki has an amazing talent for stealing [[PantyThief girl's clothes]] while they are wearing them.
94	* InnocentFanserviceGirl: While technically any girl that Akatsuki strips counts, Myuu is subjected to this the most.
95	* InstantRunes: When these start to come out of Akatsuki's right or left hand, you'll want to pay attention.
96	* IntercontinuityCrossover: The first half of a three-minute promotional video for the ''Rogue Hero'' anime showcased Akatsuki fighting and winning against several Anime/QueensBlade Rebellion characters. Perhaps due to the limited length of the clip, only two characters, Anelotte and Liliana, receive the usual ClothingDamage prevalent in Anime/QueensBlade. The crossover happens courtesy of Hobby Japan.
97	** In episode 5, Myuu switches the TV on to cover for a moment of awkwardness, saying there's a show she wanted to catch. The TV flips on to a battle scene from said promo video, Branwen and Liliana getting some extra screen time. While Myuu's gasping in shock, trying to process what she's watching, Akatsuki remarks that developing an interest in sex is completely normal.
98	* {{Jerkass}}: Phil and Lord Baram.
99	* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Akatsuki.
100	* JerkJock: Kenya Onizuka, a class A student who was demoted to class B due to being hotheaded. He therefore feels that all his classmates are below him and treat them accordingly.
101	* KiManipulation: Akatsuki is a very strong ki user.
102	* LastRequest: The Demon King asked Akatsuki to take care of his daughter with his last breaths.
103	* LoopholeAbuse:
104	** Kazuha tells Izumi that putting collectible straps on bookbags is prohibited. Later on, she ends up having one on her bag too, and Izumi calls her out on it. But Kazuha states that the class rep is allowed to have one.
105	** Akatsuki tries to utilize the rule set in the contest of episode 7 that he can go anywhere on the beach, including its facilities to escape. However, some of them question whether him going into the women's shower room is okay. While technically allowed, he's really bending the rule in order to chase after Haruka after she flees in there.
106	* LovableSexManiac: Izumi interprets Miyu's attempts at stealth (pulling the two of them into a side alley) as an invitation to fool around in public.
107	* LoveEpiphany:
108	** Myuu has a subtle one in episode 4 after Akatsuki helps her to be more honest with her feelings.
109	** Haruka seems to have developed a crush on him as well by the end of episode 6.
110	* MagicKnight:
111	** Ironically, Akatsuki fits the bill, despite having no magic skill at all. His control over chi can be used to augment his defense, allow an injured person to heal faster, or to throw an energy ball that ignores magical barriers.
112	** Myuu is a classic example, even though her title is "[[PrettyPrincessPowerhouse princess]]" instead of "sir". She's able to fake cast one spell and punish whoever takes the bait with a quick shot, which she demonstrates in a practice bout against a teacher of BABEL, knocking him out in one action. She's also able to use her staff to block a monster who's several times her size and weight.
113	* MagicalAccessory: The BABEL Arms Device ([=ADs=]) - Generates any kind of weapon. If you have enough, even a {{BFS}}.
114	* ModestyBedsheet: Myuu hastily wraps Akatsuki's bedsheet around her as a makeshift dress so she doesn't have to converse with him stark naked.
115	* MuggingTheMonster: An unlucky JerkJock tries to put Akatsuki in his place. Seconds later, he's tossed at high speed into the hall, taking the classroom door with him.
116	* NoHoldsBarredBeatdown: [[spoiler:Akatsuki gives one to Phil in episode 10 after the latter attempted to kidnap Myuu back to her homeworld.]]
117	* NoSell: A lot of attacks against Akatsuki end up looking like this.
118	* NotWhatItLooksLike: In episode 3, Akatsuki takes Kazuha to a manga cafe private room, claiming he'll "make an adult of her". He immobilizes her, then approaches her, and gives her a hug, [[spoiler:only to then tell her she should show more emotion if she wants to be more "adult" about things. It works, as she does start smiling later on.]]
119	* OddlyShapedSword: Akatsuki's sword blade resembles a giant key, and is actually ''blunt.''
120	* PantyThief: Akatsuki would make [[Manga/NegimaMagisterNegiMagi Jack Rakan]] proud. He also steals brassieres off their wearers with no problem.
121	* ThePlan: Myuu figures out why Phil wants to take her back alive to her world. [[spoiler:The dark clans are still putting up resistance despite the dark lord's death. Myuu states that if they truly just wanted to stop the Dark clan from rebelling, he'd kill her on the spot and drag her corpse around to demoralize them. However, she also correctly assumes he was going to use her public execution back in her world as bait to lure them out, so that the humans there could wipe them out.]]
122	* PottyEmergency: Kazuha suffers one in episode 2 after being locked in the gym storage room.
123	* PottyFailure: Akatsuki can invoke this trope by using his powers to make girls lose control of their bladders.
124	* PowerPerversionPotential: Akatsuki's ability to control internal organs would usually be used to negate fatigue, or possibly as a OneHitKill by stopping a person's heart, but he uses it to make girls lose their bladder control or [[ForcedOrgasm give them orgasms]].
125	** Akatsuki is also adept at focusing his chakra or chi, like onto his soles to let him stick to walls. He explains and demonstrates this by clinging to the shower walls with his bare feet - ''while Myuu was still showering.''
126	* ProjectileSpell: Glowing, tracking arrow variation. One to two hundred of these are not a threat for our hero, though.
127	* PunchedAcrossTheRoom: Akatsuki does this to Kenya in episode 2.
128	* RandomPowerRanking: Supposedly, students work their way from E-class to A. Akatsuki and Miu enroll as part of Class 1-B. The JerkJock that Akatsuki humiliates on his first day of school is supposedly of Class A.
129	* RegeneratingHealth: Non-video game example. In episode 10, the poison from one of Phil's attacks finally gets to Akatsuki, and he focuses on preventing it from spreading. Later, he's still a little doozy, but tells Myuu he'll WalkItOff. When she protests and tells him to at least wait a little while, he says he probably can't [[spoiler:due to Phil appearing in front of them.]] He does recover later, after the others buy him enough time by distracting Phil.
130	* ReligiousAndMythologicalThemeNaming:
131	** BABEL, the name of the network of school for returnees from alternate worlds, is named after the [[Literature/TheBible Biblical]] TowerOfBabel. The Japan branch is itself a huge tower.
132	** Laevateinn, Akatsuki's sword, is the name of the FlamingSword used by the giant Surt to burn the entire world at Ragnarok in Myth/NorseMythology.
133	** Sleipnir, the supersonic bike, is the name of a legendary eight-legged horse from Myth/NorseMythology, the strongest horse and ride of Odin, the King of the Gods.
134	* RingsOfDeath: Onizuka's Arms Device.
135	* RunningGag: Myuu's large boobs cause any outfit she wears to develop a CleavageWindow, regardless of the original design.
136	* SequelHook: The end of episode 12 has new trouble brewing up in Alayzard. Akatsuki is getting ready to go back, but this time, several others want to go with him.
137	* ShoutOut:
138	** In episode 1, in the English Dub There is a reference to Ghostbusters at 4:30 in the form of "The flowers are still standing"
139	** In episode 5, Myuu claims she came into the living room where Akatsuki was at, [[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial not to show off her pajamas]], but to watch her favorite TV show which turns out to be ''Anime/QueensBlade Rebellion''. She immediately turns it off.
140	** To ''Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann'' in episode 10, by Akatsuki in reference to his deal with Garius.
141	* ShutUpKiss: Given by Akatsuki to Myuu in episode 10.
142	* SkinshipGrope:
143	** Izumi does this to Myuu when they get a private room in a manga cafe.
144	** The saleslady in episode 5 seems to get a little too into it when showing Myuu how to put on a bra.
145	* SleepWalking: to an extreme degree: Akatsuki is able to converse with and molest Myuu in his sleep.
146	* SlipperySoap: Haruka slips on some soap in episode 7 when she attempted to take Akatsuki's trunks for a contest. She's saved from hitting the ground by him, but not before he strips her swimsuit.
147	* SpellMyNameWithAnS: In the manga, Akatsuki pronounces her name as Miyu, and is quickly told by the girl that it's Myuu.
148	* SpontaneousWeaponCreation: The primary function of the Arms Devices.
149	* StealthHiBye: Akatsuki has a tendency to do this, seemingly appearing out of nowhere at times.
150	* SummonEverymanHero: Part of the high concept of the series is "What happens once the Everyman Hero returns home when the job is done?" Akatsuki, and the other Summoned attending BABEL as students, are survivors of a massive outbreak of the trope.
151	* SuspiciouslySpecificDenial: Myuu has one in episode 4 when asked about her relationship with Akatsuki. She denies anything funny going on between them at home, and that he probably already has a girl he likes, but has a [[LoveEpiphany strange feeling]] in her heart shortly afterwards.
152	* TakenForGranite: The cockatrice monster in episode 3 does this to several students, including Kazuha and Izumi.
153	* TakingTheBullet: Well, it's a feather attack, but Izumi does this for Myuu in episode 3, which causes her to turn to stone.
154	* TalkingIsAFreeAction: Phil courteously waits for Akatsuki to finish talking to Myuu and Haruka and get their AD bracelets in episode 12 before attacking again.
155	* TokenMiniMoe: Kazuha.
156	* TournamentArc: A fighting contest takes place during episode 8. However, it's interrupted by the arrival of Phil, who came to Earth to find the dark lord's daughter.
157	* {{Tsundere}}: Princess Listy El Da Sherfied, and to a lesser extent Myuu. The way Myuu tries to invite Akatsuki to party up with herself, Izumi, and Kuzuha exemplifies it. As of the end of episode 6, Student Council Vice-President Nanase Haruka turns into one, generally getting flustered anytime Akatsuki is brought up.
158	* UndeadTaxExemption: Due to the nature of traveling to different worlds, travelers who return to Earth are enrolled in BABEL, a special school designed to hone any skills and special powers they may have acquired. This is also why no one blinks an eye when Akatsuki brings Myuu to Earth and claims she's his long lost sister.
159	* TheUnfought: Akatsuki never gets his chance to fight the student council president due to him having to attend a conference, and Phil interrupting the fighting contest and attempting to kidnap Myuu. The closest they got was when he first appeared while the former's skills were being assessed early on, and he attempts to attack Myuu to gauge Akatsuki's abilities.
160	* VaporWear: When BABEL's female students are in P.E. uniform, they're not wearing bras.
161	* WellIntentionedExtremist: [[spoiler:Tanaka]] even went as far as to masquerade as a [[spoiler:bullied student]]. Akatsuki finds him out though.
162	* WhamLine: Phil delivers one to Myuu at the beginning of episode 9, when he says he's here to reclaim the daughter of the dark lord. Up until this point, everyone thought she was Akatsuki's long lost sister.
163	* WhenAllYouHaveIsAHammer: Akatsuki has a couple of different abilities, but his favorite one seems to be "punch something as hard as he can".
164	* WhenSheSmiles: Kazuha does it in episode 3.
165	* WhateverHappenedToTheMouse: An in-universe example. It's said that of the many people summoned to another world, only around half ever return.
166	* WhatTheHellHero: Akatsuki delivers one to Myuu in episode 10. [[spoiler:He chastises her for attempting to kill herself, and says that doing that is taking the easy way out. He then gives her a DeclarationOfProtection.]]
167	* WouldHurtAChild: One of the terrorists hiding in the group of hostages does this after the student council takes out his allies. He grabs her and puts a gun to her head, and threatens to kill her if their demands aren't met.
168	* YouAreNotAlone: Akatsuki tells Myuu this in episode 10, [[spoiler:when she thought she was alone and had nowhere to go to escape after Phil told her about others coming after her if he failed. Akatsuki tells her he'll protect her and anyone she cares about.]]
169	* YouKillItYouBoughtIt: Myuu's father, a dark lord, asks Akatsuki to look after her with his dying breath.
170	* ZeroApprovalGambit: Akatsuki does this in episode 2 when Kazuha suffers a PottyEmergency. So he makes Myuu and Izumi also have to go, which forces them to put aside their differences for their mutual hatred in him. Plus this prevents Izumi and Myuu from making fun of Kazuha later, as they also had a PottyFailure.
