16 | ---- |
17 | !!''Persona 3 FTW'' provides examples of: |
18 | |
19 | %%* AdaptationDistillation: All the social link and plot stuff is there, it's just funnier. |
20 | %%* AffectionateParody |
21 | * AlternateCharacterInterpretation: The comic interprets many characters differently than the game; notably, the MC is a CloudCuckooLander to the extreme, while the [=FeMC=] is a CloudCuckooLander [[BewareTheNiceOnes but quite violent]]. [[invoked]] |
22 | * AnticlimaxBoss: The Strega battle during the Hanged Man Shadow boss fight just had the group push Takaya and Jin off the bridge. [[invoked]] |
23 | ** The solo-Jin battle consisted of the MC critical hitting Jin, then wiping him out with an all out attack. WordOfGod confirms this is what happened when he loaded the battle from a save file. |
24 | * ArousedByTheirVoice: Takaya. The author's quite enraptured by Creator/DerekStephenPrince's voice. |
25 | -->'''Yukari:''' I know he just locked us in here, which is bad and stuff, but...does anyone else want to have sex with his voice? |
26 | -->'''[[[EvenTheGuysWantHim Everyone]] raises their hands.]''' |
27 | %%* AsYouKnow: Played with Ikutsuki. |
28 | %%* ArtEvolution: Compare the first comics with the recent ones. |
29 | %%** In fact, compare the comic above to [[http://www.theduckwebcomics.com/Persona_3_FTW/index.php?p=745305 this one with the FeMC.]] The evolution's subtle, but it's there. |
30 | %%* AxCrazy: The MC in [[http://www.theduckwebcomics.com/Persona_3_FTW/index.php?p=546538 this strip.]] Or whenever he's around Bebe. |
31 | %%* BlatantLies: Yukari denying the fact she may or may not have bought a sex toy online. |
32 | * BewareTheNiceOnes: The normal portrayal of the [=FeMC=] is as a cute, CloudCuckooLander, but violent girl. Including ''tearing off the pigtails'' of a girl who harassed her friend. |
33 | %%* BigBallOfViolence |
34 | %%* BigEater: The best way to the MC's heart is through his stomach. |
35 | * BreadEggsBreadedEggs: To get nephew to attend rehab Kaz decides to bribe his nephew with candy, drugs, and drugged candy. |
36 | %%* ButtMonkey: Ken during The Answer. He seems to escape this in the main plot because he's OutOfFocus. [=FeMC=], however... |
37 | %%* CatSmile |
38 | %%* CatchPhrase: For Akihiko: Ya dumb broad. |
39 | %%** [[UsefulNotes/AmericanAccents "Like, I know, right?!"]] from your basic random schoolgirls to Ryoji. |
40 | %%* CharacterExaggeration: For everyone. |
41 | %%* CloudCuckooLander: The Main Character (both male and female), without saying a single word, though the female occasionally acts as the [[OnlySaneMan Only Sane Woman]]. |
42 | %%* CreepyChild: [[spoiler:Pharos.]] |
43 | %%** But he gave MC a [[spoiler:Chocolate platypus!]] |
44 | %%* CuteBruiser: The [=FeMC=]. Isn't she just adorable when she hurts people who tick her off? |
45 | %%** Due to the art style, ''everyone'' who would be a bruiser (cute or otherwise), is now this trope. |
46 | %%* DaydreamSurprise: The MC [[http://www.theduckwebcomics.com/Persona_3_FTW/5139666/ throwing a beehive at Bebe]]. |
47 | %%* DoomyDoomsOfDoom: [[http://www.theduckwebcomics.com/Persona_3_FTW/5124987/ 'Back at the Legion of Doom']] |
48 | %%* EvenTheGuysWantHim: [[http://www.theduckwebcomics.com/Persona_3_FTW/index.php?p=591894 It's all in the voice, for Takaya]]. |
49 | %%* FastballSpecial: The [=FeMC=] does this with Koromaru [[http://www.theduckwebcomics.com/Persona_3_FTW/index.php?p=772881 against a would-be shrine vandal.]] |
50 | * {{Filler}}: Not a FillerStrip, but rather on time comics that are filling in for days that the game pretty much just skips over. This can mainly be seen on the [[http://www.theduckwebcomics.com/Persona_3_FTW/index.php?p=638464 internship arc]]. |
51 | %%* FunnyBackgroundEvent: [[http://www.theduckwebcomics.com/Persona_3_FTW/index.php?p=673718 The MC's table catching fire]], which is also a ShoutOut to WebAnimation/ZeroPunctuation. |
52 | %%* GunsAreWorthless: In the final battle against Takaya, Akihiko wonders if [[spoiler:Shinjiro]]'s bones were made of cookies. |
53 | %%* HeadphonesEqualIsolation: Akihiko's LoveEpiphany in [=FeMC's=] [[http://www.theduckwebcomics.com/Persona_3_FTW/index.php?p=760487 Star Rank 9]] ends up being the victim of this. |
54 | %%* HiddenObjectGame: The boss battles. |
55 | * HypocriticalHumor: In [=FeMC=] Justice 4, [[WordOfGod Scott states only Akihiko should say "Ya dumb broad"]], despite Jin saying it back when he was defeated by the male MC and co. |
56 | * IdiosyncraticEpisodeNaming: The majority of The Journey and The Answer have very reference/in joke filled page titles. |
57 | %%* InfiniteAmmo: [[http://www.theduckwebcomics.com/Persona_3_FTW/5130902/ TAKE THE BREAD!!!]] |
58 | %%* InnocentInnuendo: [[http://www.theduckwebcomics.com/Persona_3_FTW/index.php?p=550000 'It's too big. I'm pulling out.']] |
59 | %%* JumpingTheShark: Summer Uniforms, [[http://www.theduckwebcomics.com/Persona_3_FTW/index.php?p=566132 apparently]]. [[invoked]] |
60 | %%* LikesOlderWomen: Kenji, even more than in the game. [[http://www.theduckwebcomics.com/Persona_3_FTW/index.php?p=549996 "If she were like 30 years older..."]] |
61 | %%* LovableSexManiac[=/=]StalkerWithACrush: Aigis |
62 | %%* LoveAtFirstSight: The Female MC, for Shinjiro. |
63 | %%* MajorInjuryUnderreaction: [[http://www.theduckwebcomics.com/Persona_3_FTW/5127488/ Kaz's leg being twisted unnaturally? LET'S GET SOME TACOS]] |
64 | %%* MissingStepsPlan: [[http://www.theduckwebcomics.com/Persona_3_FTW/5130906/ Kenji's plan to get Ms. Kanou to love him.]] |
65 | %%* MisterSeahorse: This is pretty much how Fuuka and Akihiko rationalize both the existence of [[spoiler: Ryoji/Pharos]] and [[http://www.theduckwebcomics.com/Persona_3_FTW/index.php?p=641344 the MC's weird cravings.]] |
66 | %%* NoodleIncident: Just how and why did Fuuka set manga on fire? |
67 | * OfficialCouple: [=FeMC=] is openly smitten with Shinjiro from his introduction, spends their entire social link trying to get into his pants, and ultimately shares her last scene with him. |
68 | %%* {{Otaku}}: Bebe. |
69 | %%* PassThePopcorn |
70 | %%* PhraseCatcher: "Shut up, Ken." |
71 | * RunningGag: Every social link has, at some point, a frame involving the main character and the person with whom he is having the social link skipping off into the distance. For some social links this is ill-advised for the person in question ([[spoiler:Chariot]]) and others it really just doesn't work out at all ([[spoiler:Tower, [[CreepyChild Death]], Sun, [=FeMC's=] [[AbortedDeclarationofLove Star]], [=FeMC's=] [[BadassLongcoat Moon]]]]). |
72 | ** Aigis' tendency to dry-hump and/or make out with the MC whenever possible. |
73 | ** Almost ALL of the damage received by the characters in the entire series can be summed up in only one word: [[FeelNoPain "Ow."]] |
74 | ** The author repeatingly inserting himself as a cameo'd toy version of himself, or off-handedly mentioning him or his own comic. |
75 | * SanitySlippage: Tanaka (whose rival is a coconut) gets more and more insane as the Devil Social Link progresses. |
76 | * ScrewYourself: Well technically they didn't GET that far, but the MC and [=FeMC=] making out [[RealityBreakingParadox caused an]] EarthShatteringKaboom. |
77 | * ShoutOut: |
78 | %%** [[http://www.theduckwebcomics.com/Persona_3_FTW/index.php?p=654368 Alternate title to this comic?]] ''[[Film/PulpFiction Pup Fiction]]''. |
79 | %%** And all the Maya comics are a ShoutOut to ''WebAnimation/ZeroPunctuation'' in art style. |
80 | %%** The final devil rank has a Creator/MontyPython joke. |
81 | ** The first devil comic is also a reference to ''Franchise/ShinMegamiTensei''. Tanaka asking for money is treated as a demon recruitment encounter, complete with him telling the MC his arcana. |
82 | %%** [[WebVideo/YuGiOhTheAbridgedSeries Shut up Ken.]] Though unlike the series, he gets to finish his "No you shut up!" Probably because it was [[TookALevelInJerkass Yukari.]] Also in his {{Flashback}}: |
83 | %%--->'''Police Officer:''' You kids and your anime and your video games and your [[Anime/PersonaTrinitySoul anime based off of video games.]] |
84 | %%* TriggerHappy: Chihiro, oh so much. |
85 | * TheVoiceless: The [=MCs=] have absolutely no dialogue apart from invoking their Persona for the first time. |
86 | %%* WallOfText: Used for a laugh with [[http://www.theduckwebcomics.com/Persona_3_FTW/index.php?p=554499 Maya]]. |
87 | %%* WouldHurtAChild: After Shinjiro is shot, Ken notes that the [=FeMC=] is now single. She swiftly decks him. |
88 | %%* WithFriendsLikeThese: The MC is not the greatest friend ever. |
89 | %%* YourHeadAsplode: Apparently, listening to the Chairman's puns for the first time causes this. |
90 | %%* YourMom: Aigis's response to Akihiko asking why she couldn't open the door in the Chariot/Justice boss fight. |
