I feel like the summary needs work. Is the high school really important enough to be the first thing that gets a mention? How about the Kings system, or the mystery plot...
I made this Idolized Julius Kingsley icon back when Akito first came out, and now that the crossover is actually happening, I don't care.

- Expy: Hmm, a White Haired Nice Guy and a Tall, Dark, and Handsome Badass Longhair Samurai. Where have we seen that before?
- Add to that a Smoking Blond Bartender with Sunglasses. Shizu-chan?
The second may be accurate, but the first looks really iffy. Given the amount of shoehorning Expy gets (50%+), I'm leaving this here.

I wouldn't call the second accurate either. Expy is " a character from one series who is unambiguously and deliberately based on a character in another, older series. A few minor traits — such as age and name — may change, but there's no doubt that they are almost one and the same." Which is definitely not the case here.
And the "white haired guy = Allen expy!" and "long, black-haired samurai guy = Kanda expy!" is getting old. Guys, D-Gray man is not *that* popular.
I would say the Shizuo example qualifies. Kuroh - > Sebastian, Munakata -> Roy Mustang, also. Fushimi in his crazier moments is probably intended to evoke Light, but not to expy levels.

X-14: Killer Cheese
Adolf was a war scientist in world war II. Did the show say either way whether he was a nazi or affiliated with them? Sure, the former is unlikely given the kind of person he was, but I'm just wondering if he could have been working with them even if he didn't necessarily sympathize. I mean, they were the only people he could have been working for while in Germany, right?
edit: Wait, I found out how to start a Headscratchers page and this belongs there. Go there to reply if you want.

Would Shiro fall under the Parasol of Prettiness trope? It's a female trope but's sometime's used "as a sign of demureness and innocence" which fits with his personality for a lot of the series.
If it has a plot then I have something to say about it!
PaperMaster
Alright, since the anime is almost over, it could really use some crosswicking. All we really have to do is add the examples to the respective trope pages, though we should be careful that they make sense even for someone who's never seen the series. So, uh, go to town!

Would the 5th and 6th clans fall under Hufflepuff House or not?

Can Neko's powers be considered an example of Chekhov's Gun? I mean, it was first introduced in episode 2 but in my opinion at that time it was Played for Laughs...then we find out in episode 7 that she's responsible for Yashiro's(actually The Colorless King) False Memories.

Someone want to edit those paragraphs about the manga and novels into bullet lists? That should probably be done, for clarity.
