An incredible invention, developed over decades in secret, empowers humans to make their grandest dream a reality...
To travel through time!
The Time Tenshi series features Kenji Johnson, whose grandfather Tensai Shiro has invented a time machine which he calls the Time Window. Aided by a cast of lovely and well-endowed women, Kenji must help protect time from the machinations of Chrontek, a rogue time-traveling group from the future.
Presently, the Time Tenshi series consists of these games:
- Time Tenshi
- Time Tenshi 2/Time Tenshi 2:Special Edition
- Time Tenshi Paradox: Episode 1
- Time Tenshi Paradox: Episode 2
- Time Tenshi (2020)
Please add tropes to this page as you see them!
Tropes in the original Time Tenshi series of games:
- Apocalypse How:
- The Earth of the future is faced with a Category 6 as a result of the Collapse. Chrontek's goal is to prevent it from happening in the first place.
- Time Tenshi 2 ends with a Class X-4, with the entire universe being completely destroyed! Fortunately, the Time Window is able to keep the destruction that occurs in the future from reaching back to the modern world, so while that future universe was completely obliterated, the modern world and a new future remain.
- Beauty, Brains, and Brawn: The current three Time Tenshi can be categorized as this, though they're all beautiful and brainy to some degree. The bubbly Kyo works as the Beauty, the thoughtful and rational Rose is the Brains, and the feisty tomboy Tessa is most certainly the Brawn.
- Breast Expansion: A side-effect that comes as a result of women traveling through time. However, that's not the only consequence...
- Chainmail Bikini: Partially justified because the protective ability of the Time Suits comes from the quantum field they generate, so the ability to adjust to increasing bust size is more important than skin coverage.
- Combat Stilettos: Both Kyo and Bunni wear high-heeled shoes as part of their Time Suits. Tessa frequently gripes about this and tells Kyo that she would be better off wearing more practical footwear.
- Curb-Stomp Battle: Use of the Quantum Guards can very easily result in one of these.
- Fanservice: Time traveling results in Breast Expansion, and the girls’ outfits show this off.
- Modesty Towel: One event with Kyo has the Player Character bumping into a freshly showered Kyo wearing just a towel, with her breasts being so big they almost spill out of the towel.
- Nobody Could Have Survived That: When asked if Princess Neferu-re could have survived the climax of Time Tenshi 2, Michelle declares that she feels that there's no way that she could still be alive. At which Tessa remarks, "So, seeing as that this place basically operates on anime logic, that probably means that she's alive, well, and already cooking up some evil scheme to pay is back for what we did."
- Time Tenshi Paradox: Episode 2 reveals that Tessa was right.
- Oh, Crap!: Tessa namedrops this Trope when Bunni and Mizuki use their Quantum Guards for the first time with Bunni becoming a Giant Woman and Mizuki gaining four copies of herself. She even follows up by adding that This Is Gonna Suck.
- Time Crash: In the first game, there are concerns that changes to the past could cause this. At the end of Time Tenshi 2, collapsing Neferu-re's schemes while she's re-writing reality actually does cause that future to be utterly destroyed in a temporal storm. Fortunately, Tensai is able to use his Time Window to keep the destruction from reaching the present.
- Upgrade Artifact: The Quantum Guards introduced in Time Tenshi 2 function this way, providing the users with stronger quantum fields and a variety of "assault modes" such as:
Tropes in the rebooted Time Tenshi 2020:
- Adaptational Modesty: The Time Suits in the new series aren't as revealing as the previous ones.
- Flawed Prototype: The Time Window itself is this, especially compared to time machines seen in media. It can only send people back and forth between the present and past, the process of traveling through time puts the body through a great deal of stress. And most importantly, it's accuracy is low in terms of targeting a specific time unless it can lock onto an energy signature. This turns into a major plot point, as this is the reason the Time Window cannot be used to simply go back and prevent the fire that killed Kenji's parents.
- Reed Richards Is Useless: Deconstructed in terms of the girls' various inventions. One of them is a green energy generator that provides all of the lab's energy with plenty to spare, but since it could easily be turned into a weapon of mass destruction, Tensai refuses to sell it. Another is a tissue regenerator that can easily heal wounds that they tried to sell on the open market. But medical industries prevented it from being sold because it would cut into their profit margins.
- Further deconstructed in regards to Bunni and Mizuki, who view Tensai and the girls as being at least partly responsible for the fate that befell their time. Mizuki in particular feels that their caution with the Time Window makes them partly guilty for what happened to their time, when Rose, Kyo, and Tensai are genuinely concerned about making sure that their inventions aren't used for the wrong reasons.
- Retail Therapy: A justified example. Kenji is feeling down after the fight he has with Tensai on the first day. Michelle recommends taking Kenji shopping for things to make his new apartment feel more like home. Though the primary reason for this is that he lost all of his belongings in the fire and needs new clothes and more to replace them all.
- Tamer and Chaster: In addition to the Time Suits being less revealing, the reboot does not feature the Breast Expansion that was present in the original games.
