Tropes associated with Revenge Road:
- Adaptational Villainy: Hikaru is depicted as ditzy and quite childish but otherwise nice in canon, though she is depicted as a Clingy Jealous Girl in the first movie (albeit only because she was under a lot of stress, not helped by the Love Triangle). Here, she's depicted as an outright Yandere who's decided to murder Kyosuke and Madoka simply for being happy together.
- Alliterative Title: Revenge Road.
- All Just a Dream: Kyosuke wakes up to realize that the entire thing was a dream, only for Madoka to answer the door and get shot.
- Ax-Crazy: Though Hikaru in this fic has always had a few sanity problems, when she goes off the deep end following her Despair Event Horizon, she goes off hard.
- Big "NO!": Kyosuke lets one of these out when he learns that the terrifying dream that he had is, in fact, becoming reality.
- Boom, Headshot!: Hikaru kills Madoka with one of these, which is a mercy compared to what she does to Kyousuke.
- Cold-Blooded Torture: Kyosuke suffers an agonizing death from being stabbed in the throat, then tortured to death with knives.
- Cruel and Unusual Death: Kyosuke, for reasons outlined in Cold-Blooded Torture above.
- Despair Event Horizon: Hikaru crosses it when, after trying one last time to get together with Kyosuke and break up him and Madoka, it turns out that the Kyosuke she was with was an impostor.
- Evil Laugh: Hikaru lets these out, often in mid-narration, as she slowly slips into insanity.
- Green-Eyed Monster: Hikaru, who is jealous of the happiness Kyosuke and Madoka share more than Madoka for having Kyosuke, to the point that she uses this as her motivation for her violent revenge upon them.
- How We Got Here: Hikaru narrates this story as she's being interrogated by the police.
- If I Can't Have You…: Hikaru regarding Kyosuke and Madoka."But if I wasn't ever going to be happy again, then I would make sure that they wouldn't be alive to enjoy their happiness."
- Instant Death Bullet: Hikaru shoots Madoka in the head and kills her instantly.
- Murder Is the Best Solution: In Hikaru's mind."Another thing I learned was that the only way to ever solve your problems was through violence"
- Murder the Hypotenuse: Interestingly enough, Hikaru believes Madoka, for being her friend, deserves more mercy than the one who rejected her, and kills her with a head shot.
- Punctuated Pounding: Hikaru tells Kyosuke her different grievances each time she slashes him.
- Revenge: Hikaru's motivation is revenge on Kyosuke and Madoka for being happy together when she wasn't going to be happy ever again, though she is markedly more pissed at Kyosuke for rejecting her than Madoka for being with him, such that she reserves her absolute worst for him.
- Revenge Fic: With the horrificness that this fic inflicts upon Madoka and Kyosuke for the "crime" of being together and for Kyosuke not choosing Hikaru instead, and for Hikaru being portrayed as an obsessive Yandere willing to kill and torture Kyosuke just for not being with her, it's little wonder that this is one of the most infamous fics of its kind on the net.
- Shout-Out: Fatal Attraction and Psycho are both referenced when Hikaru kills Kyosuke and starts gleefully talking about doing so.
- Stalker with a Crush: Hikaru makes repeated and obsessive efforts to win Kyosuke back, which don't really end well.
- Tears of Remorse: Kyosuke is "overcome with remorse" as he cries over Madoka's body, possibly out of a belief that he caused this to happen, although it's never explained.
- Woman Scorned: Hikaru is anything but happy about Kyosuke having rejected her, to the point that she reserves the worst of her violence for him.
- Villain Protagonist: Hikaru is the main protagonist of this little piece, and she is portrayed as an obsessive and murderous Yandere.
- Yandere: Hikaru's entire motive is to try to win Kyosuke back no matter the cost, but when that fails, she wants to make sure that Kyosuke and Madoka can't enjoy happiness together if she can't, and goes completely Ax-Crazy.
