Very few adolescent boys and girls have an onset of special abilities. Yuu Otosaka is one such boy who uses his ability to possess other people for five seconds unbeknownst to others in order to lead a satisfying teenage boy's life: revenge against those who pissed him off, sneaking peeks at girl's bodies, cheating his way into a prestigious high school, and targeting a school idol as his girlfriend.Then one day, a mysterious girl from another high school named Nao Tomori suddenly appears before him and ruins all of his comfortable life in his new high school by exposing his cheating tendencies.In order to ensure he does not abuse his power again, she arranges for him and his little sister Ayumi to be transferred to Hoshinoumi Academy, a school for those with special abilities, that ultimately ends his chance with the girl who became his target due to their inability to maintain a long distance relationship.Becoming a part of Hoshinoumi Academy student council along with Nao and her friend Joujirou, these three reveal the destiny for wielders of special abilities, and trying to keep them responsible and not abusing their powers like Yuu did before.Charlotte is an original Seinen anime written by Jun Maeda, created by Key and animated by P. A. Works, all of whom are from Angel Beats! tenure. It can be viewed here on Crunchyroll for people in North America, Central America, South America, United Kingdom, and Ireland.

A manga adaptation of the original anime itself began appearing in September 2015, also in Dengeki G's Comic magazine.Now has a Characters Page in need of additional information.

Look Behind You: Done to Joujirou in Episode 6 to prevent him from tagging along with Yusa while they visit a sick Ayumi. Nao claims there's a sleeping giraffe outside, prompting him to go look. When he starts wondering why a giraffe would be at their school, she then knocks him out the window, then calls an ambulance for him.

Heroic BSoD: Played for Laughs when Joujirou meets Yusa, who turns from cutesy girl to badass trash talker with her special power. He reacts by smashing his head into the wall which causes a small fountain of blood to spray out from his head. Played for Drama when Yuu frantically searches for Ayumi in the middle of her school building's rubble. And after he's told she died, he suffers one for the entirety of Episode 7, attempting to run away and pick fights with strangers.

Rescue Romance: Invoked. Yu uses his powers to set up a car accident and save Yumi, the most popular girl at his school, to get her to fall for him. It works, but the arrival of Nao and Joujirou and his forced transfer to their school ruins it for him. Later used in a more emotional sense when Nao saves Yuu from his downward spiral after Ayumi's death, making him fall in love with her even in a different timeline when the death is averted.

He enters one with Nao in episode 13 after he fulfills The Promise made to her to strip every ability user's powers and return to her. Though he forgets about it, she's happy that he kept her flashcards, as battered as they were.

 Charlotte / int_19da8a03
comment
Incurable Cough of Death: Ayumi starts to do this in Episode 5, first over the phone while talking to Yu during their stakeout camping trip. Later when he's back home a few days later, she starts coughing again, and also mentions that she ran out of her pizza sauce. Double subverted, however, as while it turns out that her cough was merely a one-day cold, it does, in a very roundabout way, lead to her death. Yuu thinks she's still safe at home, but Ayumi, feeling all better, has decided to sneak out to school, where her yandere classmate's threatening her with a knife causes her to panic and accidentally trigger her special ability, Collapse. This kills her.

Chekhov's Gun: A box full of instant ramen cup which Yuu's uncle left for him on episode 1. It helps Yuu survive a few days after Ayumi's death when no one cooks meals for him. In Episode 5, the group finds a pit near their campsite, and realize it's potential hazard. Nao uses that pit to trick their target into revealing his powers of Flight. Nao gives Yuu a set of flashcards in episode 12 to help him on his mission to search for ability users worldwide. Once he starts losing his memories due to gaining tens of thousands of new powers, he forgets why he has the cards. But something inside him causes him to remember his mission to strip every power away, even if he can't recall why he's doing it, and for whom.

For Science!: Nao reveals to Yu in episode 2 that people with special abilities like them get experimented on heavily if they're found out by some scientists before her group can get to them. She then reveals that her brother was subjected to such experiments, and turned into a shell of his former self as a result. In episode 4, Nao tells Yu to possess the pitcher on the opposing team after they already lost the game. He doesn't see the point, but she tells him it's for an experiment. When he comes to, she's holding him up with her arms, but doesn't explain what she was doing. The reason behind this is revealed in episode 10. Nao told him to do that to steal his ability, ensuring the pitcher would never be able to abuse his ability again in the future.

Ass Pull
 Charlotte / int_275ca6e1
comment
The episode eventually handwaves this by stating that the syndicate somehow knew all about everyone's powers long in advance and had carefully prepared so many long-term plans and checkins from years in the past so that any sudden disruption would cause them to realise time had altered and murder the hostages. However, the logical thing to do would still have been to try it before going straight to "let's walk into the obvious trap". It also makes the entire syndicate plotline feel like even more of an Ass Pull, since if they had such a massive amount of information about every wielder and years worth of setup, why did they even need to torture Kumagami? And how were they instantly defeated one episode later by two people's minds being wiped with no further consequences?

Awesome, but Impractical
 Charlotte / int_2bdae2ae
comment
Awesome, but Impractical: Yuu and the others who have special powers, though each of them has some kind of drawback: Yuu can transfer his soul to another person and do whatever he wants, but only for five seconds, and his body is left unconscious during that time. There seems to be no limit to how often he can do this however. His true ability is "Plunder", allowing him to steal the abilities of other people with powers. In order to utilize this power, he has to be able to see their face. Nao can make herself invisible, but only to one person at a time. Everyone else can see what she's doing. However, considering that she often has to conceal herself from marks, this seemingly useless ability ends up being well-suited to her needs. Joujirou has Super-Speed, which he calls teleportation. Unfortunately he can't slow himself down, so he ends up crashing into stuff repeatedly and has to wear safety equipment underneath his uniform. Yusa has the ability to be possessed by her older sister Misa. However, she doesn't have control over it. Misa on the other hand, has pyrokinesis without a drawback being given during her introduction. Kumagami can pinpoint the location of someone with special powers and what special powers this person has. Unfortunately he can only do it while soaking wet and fully clothed. Episode 10, however, seems to hint that his soaking-wet appearance is just to hide his identity. Ayumi has the ability to cause a collapse of an area, but she doesn't seem to have conscious control of its effects and she needs to be under extremely high mental duress to access it. Her power activating at the wrong moment kills her in one timeline. Yuu's older brother has the ability to leap through time. Despite that, he must have light enter both of his eyes in order to use it and it makes him slightly lose his sight with every use. He lets Yu plunder his power after going blind, and Yu himself loses the power forever after suffering an Eye Scream.

Gratuitous English
 Charlotte / int_2e6a41e0

Gratuitous English: One of the bad guys in episode 11 speaks in fairly decent English. He then has another man translate what he just said for the main characters. Nao gives Yuu a bunch of English flash cards to help him on his international journey in episode 13, and at first he has to use English to communicate with people. Yuu's voice actor completely butchers the pronunciation, which is justified in-universe for a Japanese teenager who's bad at English; what comes across as implausible is how the English-speakers he talks to are able to understand his English without subtitles! This whole problem is dispensed with when he steals an ability that makes people percieve whatever he says in Japanese as if it were in their language and vice-versa, so that from then onward all foreign diaglogue is represented as Yuu hears it: in Japanese.

Evolving Credits: The end credits for each episode feature stills of the character that featured most prominently in that episode. Episodes 2 and 5 have Nao with song from Aoi Tada, while Episodes 3 and 4 have Yusa with her "Do It Yourself" Theme Tune song from Maaya Uchida, credited as How-Low Hello. Episode 6, being a Wham Episode, has nothing but a Credits Roll with black background and acoustic music.

La Résistance: Hoshinoumi Student Council, lead by Nao, is basically a simple version of this. Their main goal is to saves many of the ability wielder from scientists' reach by stopping them from using their power for their own benefit. It's revealed that their action is inspired by Yuu's older brother Shunsuke along with Kumagami that forms a group of ability wielder in many previous timeline to help them survives against the scientists.

Nao can make herself invisible, but only to one person at a time. Everyone else can see what she's doing. However, considering that she often has to conceal herself from marks, this seemingly useless ability ends up being well-suited to her needs.

Blessed with Suck: Some children in this world are born with superpowers, but they often come with crippling drawbacks, and getting found out gives them a good chance of being captured and experimented on like a guinea pig. And those powers eventually fade away anyway once they grow past adolescence. The final ability wielder's power is "courage". Its only effect is making the user courageous, regardless of the dangerous situation they're in.

He then stabs the man again with a second one, and says he'll kill them the next time they try to pick a fight with him. Yuu suffers this after getting hit with some crossbow bolts in episode 13. This after stopping lots of bullets being shot at him earlier on.

Strictly Formula: The first half of the show always follows the story of the efforts of main protagonists trying to find and stop other kids with special abilities from showing off their power for their personal benefits with no or little development for the main story, and a few Running Gag jokes like Ayumi and her passion for pizza sauce, Misa and Yusa's different personalities, and so on. However, this is totally discarded after Episode 6.

comment
The show ultimately ends on a bittersweet note, as Yu is able to successfully plunder all of the ability wielders around the world so that they can avoid being exploited, but this came at the cost of his sanity and his memories, including why he was even doing it in the first place. He only kept going becuase of a vague recollection to do so, thanks to Nao's study notes. Shunsuke rescues him and brings him back to Japan, but since Yu's lost all of his memories, he doesn't know who anyone is anymore, but Nao vows to make new memories with him and everyone else instead.

Come Episode 11, the true source of abilities and the show's title is revealed. The driver Furuki is blackmailed by a group of hunters of power-wielders, so Kumagami gets captured and is forced to compromise Shun and his group after a Cold-Blooded Torture. In an attempt to save a kidnapped and ransomed Tomori in exchange for Yu, Yu gets his right eye slashed and - after an unintended trigger of his collapse ability - causes Kumagami to do a Heroic Sacrifice for Tomori.

Paper-Thin Disguise: Yuu uses Groucho glasses when sneaking into a cram school to research his rivals for the high school entrance exam in Episode 1. Yusa uses sunglasses and a flu mask as part of her disguise when visiting a sick Ayumi in Episode 6. She wasn't fooled. In episode 10 while infiltrating Ayumi's school, Yusa and Nao attempt to wear the girl's middle school uniform, while Joujirou attempts to disguise himself as a teacher. Nobody there is fooled, as Joujirou isn't recognized by one of the real teachers there and dragged to the faculty office, while one of the boys there immediately recognizes Yusa. Another student comments that Nao is very pretty, and sort of suspicious for being seen with Yusa. Yuu really wants to do a Face Palm while hiding in a storage locker at how easily they were caught.

Fake-Out Opening: The first episode is written in such a way (even going so far as to seemingly give detailed introductions to characters who will otherwise never appear again), giving the impression that the series would be some kind of lighthearted romantic comedy about Yuu using his special power to cheat his way around an idyllic highschool life. It's only towards the end that he transfers to the show's real setting and meets the rest of the real cast.

All Your Powers Combined: Given enough time and exposure to ability users, Yu could become this. It is hinted in universe that this would not be a good thing as it would make him extremely dangerous, maybe Drunk with Power (justified fear since he was petty in the use of his powers), and make him that much more noticeable to scientists. Potential limits or restrictions to his 'plunder' ability are not yet explained. Yuu decides to willingly pull this off on a world-wide scale, so that way no one else will have special abilities, thusly saving all ability wielders.

As a result, she feels it's best to cut their losses there, though he doesn't take it too well, and has the same shocked look on his face after going home.

Artistic License – History: In opening narration, not only did René Descartes not live in ancient times, but in the 17th century, but Yuu uses his famous sentence cogito ergo sum (I think, therefore I am) in a completely different context than the former did. note Descartes was making note that if thought existed, a source of said thought had to exist as well, and therefore somebody/something existed. Whether they were himself or somebody/something else, was largely irrelevant to that paragraph of his essay.

Required Secondary Powers
 Charlotte / int_5b6e57e
comment
Required Secondary Powers: Generally Defied. A majority of ability users have limitations on how they can use their powers, either because of scope (Nao can only become invisible to one person at a time) or control (Joujirou can 'teleport' using psychic self-propulsion but can't control the amount of force behind it), and does not have any degree of super-reflexes or invincibility, so often gets Amusing Injuries. This is played straight with Yu. His ability to possess people for five seconds is just secondary since his real power is to steal any other person's ability.

Episode 2, where Yuu and Nao visit Nao's brother on the outskirts of town. The moment was entirely funny when Nao, being a Big Eater, rudely ate her lunch box (which is still smoking hot) inside an air conditioned train, pissing off the passengers standing near her, and after she sees Yuu hasn't eaten his sandwich, the scene cuts to the two of them waiting for the bus, while Nao eats his sandwich. When they are riding the bus a few minutes later, the whole situation becomes more gloomy as Nao tells him about her and her brother's backstory.

Evil Laugh: Played for Laughs, Yuu does this in the first episode after he is asked to hang out with the School Idol girl he's targeted as a girlfriend, only to realize that his laughing was too loud inside his classroom. Played Straight in episode 7, after Yuu beat a bunch of thugs thanks to him abusing his ability, he starts to laugh maniacally under the showering rain.

Punny Name: Kumagami's nickname: Pooh. Shunsuke called him "Pooh", named after the fictional bear created by A. A. Milne "Winnie-the Pooh". It's like that because 'Kuma' means bear.

 Charlotte / int_7241785e

You Can't Fight Fate: Zigzagged in episode 10: Played mostly straight with Shunsuke. Despite his attempts at saving ability users from the organization, they are kids going up against adults, some of whom are well armed. He instead uses his knowledge of lottery numbers to instead gain incredible wealth, and then open up schools to shelter kids with abilities. Averted with Yuu. He manages to save Ayumi from her Yandere classmate, then greets Shunsuke's associates as he walks home with her, knowing full well who Shunsuke was due to being told earlier in the episode in an alternate timeline.

Idiot Ball
 Charlotte / int_7286e96d
comment
Idiot Ball: It's not a wise decision to suddenly startle a nervous person who's aimed his arrow at your face at point blank. If it hadn't been for Joujirou, Nao would already be dead. In episode 11, Yuu gets attacked by an ability wielder. He just stares at her and lets her cut his eye, which also disables his time-leap ability. Seriously, Yuu? In episode 11, instead of using his telekinesis to intimidate the syndicate into letting Nao and Kumagami go, or using his possession/plunder ability to have them knock each other off the ledge, thus leaving them vulnerable, Yuu only takes over their bodies to INSPECT THEM FOR WEAPONS. It can't even be argued that he was worried about others being in the abandoned area, as he notes earlier in this same scene that they seem to be the only ones there. Yuu then decides to telekinetically throw objects at the pair of terrorists who he'd already determined to pose no direct threat, turning his back on the ability-wielding girl who is clearly carrying a weapon that just left him half-blind. She ends up driving him into a rage and "collapsing" the building, fatally injuring Kumagami. The reason Yuu got in this mess in the first place was because Shunsuke willfully glanced over the fact that their organization's driver had a family, giving enemies ample opportunity to blackmail him and make him kidnap one the organization's most important members. Backing up even further, there's yet another problem. Why does someone as important as Kumagami ever leave the underground base? He could have just called the school every time he detected an ability-user. Instead, he physically goes there, with no bodyguard, to do his completely unnecessary water-dripping ritual, providing many opportunities for someone to capture him. Going a bit further, there's a simple solution that's never even attempted. Why doesn't Yuu go back to the time Kumagami leaves and say, "Dude, seriously, stay and let's play another game, or you'll get captured, tortured, and killed."? The episode eventually handwaves this by stating that the syndicate somehow knew all about everyone's powers long in advance and had carefully prepared so many long-term plans and checkins from years in the past so that any sudden disruption would cause them to realise time had altered and murder the hostages. However, the logical thing to do would still have been to try it before going straight to "let's walk into the obvious trap". It also makes the entire syndicate plotline feel like even more of an Ass Pull, since if they had such a massive amount of information about every wielder and years worth of setup, why did they even need to torture Kumagami? And how were they instantly defeated one episode later by two people's minds being wiped with no further consequences?

From Bad to Worse: At the end of episode 5, Ayumi comes down with a bit of a cold. She does recover, and feels good enough to go back to school despite Yu's insistence on keeping her home. Ayumi gets attacked by her Yandere classmate, which triggers Ayumi's ability of collapse, which destroys the school and gets herself killed. This sends Yu into a Heroic BSoD, isolating himself from his friends, abusing his powers on random thugs just because he can, and nearly becoming a drug addict, at least until Nao stops him.

Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: Yuu tells Ayumi to stay in bed for several days in Episode 6 while she is sick. However, by the third day she is feeling better, but since Nao wants more confirmation, he tells her to stay home again. However, she doesn't listen, and sneaks out to go to school anyway. She then gets assaulted by one of her classmates who was jealous that the boy she liked was now focusing all of his attention on Ayumi. The Stinger at the end of the episode hints that some debris caused by Ayumi's Traumatic Superpower Awakening may have fallen on top of Yuu while he was frantically digging through the rubble in an attempt to find her.

Show, Don't Tell: Yu, Nao, and Joujirou's powers are all shown in the first episode, then given a brief explanation as to their usage as well as the drawbacks. Yu's power is shown when he uses it on people for his own advantage, such as having girls peek at their underwear, or making bullies fight amongst their friends, or cheating by looking at other people's tests. Joujirou's power is first shown when something crashes into a building as Yu attempts to run away from school after being accused of cheating. Nao disappears in front of Yu, then he suddenly starts getting beat up by thin air. However Joujirou says he saw her beating him up, as her power only works on one person at a time.

Wham Episode: Episode 6. Nao suspects that Ayumi may be the latest person with an ability, but they don't have enough clues to verify it. Though she is still sick and told to stay in bed for one more day, Ayumi decides to sneak out and go to school anyway. She is then assaulted by a Yandere who likes a boy in their class who is now trying to get a little more friendly with Ayumi, thus causing Ayumi to trigger her ability, which creates a localized earthquake that destroys the building she's in. Episode 7 follows the aftermath shown in the previous episode, and Yu's reaction to it. He doesn't it take it well when the doctor tells him Ayumi is dead. Episode 9, revealing some very critical details about the world. Namely, Yuu and Ayumi were once imprisoned by scientists until Yuu's older brother was able to use his ability to change the world by traveling to the past. Also, this episode reveals there might be a way to save Ayumi. Episode 10 reveals that Yuu has the ability to poach the abilities of people he leaps into, using this to time leap and save Ayumi. Come Episode 11, the true source of abilities and the show's title is revealed. The driver Furuki is blackmailed by a group of hunters of power-wielders, so Kumagami gets captured and is forced to compromise Shun and his group after a Cold-Blooded Torture. In an attempt to save a kidnapped and ransomed Tomori in exchange for Yu, Yu gets his right eye slashed and - after an unintended trigger of his collapse ability - causes Kumagami to do a Heroic Sacrifice for Tomori.

Asshole Victim: Subverted in episode 7. Though Yuu fights guys who look like stereotypical thugs, in almost all of those fights, he was the one who initiated it.

Superpower Lottery
 Charlotte / int_8fac4a3a
comment
Superpower Lottery: Some abilities like Tomori's are relatively weak. Others like Takajou's have brutal side effects that makes using them impractical. However, there are certain characters with very powerful abilities with effects that greatly outweigh the cost. Yuu's ability allows him to control someone for up to five seconds, but leaves his body exposed while doing so. However, he can use it as many times as he wants and at the start of the series, he exploits it to cheat on tests and get into a good school. This is merely a side effect of his true ability, plunder, which allows him to permanently steal the abilities of other ability wielders. Shunsuke has Mental Time Travel, which comes at the cost degrading his eyesight every use and seals itself once he goes blind. The series's beginning is actually the result of Shunsuke's multiple time leaps. In general, those with the ability to locate other ability wielders. Kumagami's ability identifies both the location and the ability of the individual, but activates at random times. Another character with a similar ability that Yuu plunders can track other ability wielders in real-time, but lacks the ability-identification aspect. In-universe, the members of Shunsuke's Syndicate are treated as such, and each member is stated to have a very powerful ability. However, aside from Shun and Kumagami, only Maedomari stands out. He can wipe individual memories and his only downside is needing time to locate it.

Set Right What Once Went Wrong: Used twice in episode 10: Shunsuke gives an Info Dump to Yuu as to what he's done with his powers.

He then uses his knowledge of future events such as lottery numbers to gain large sums of cash to open up schools to protect them with, with Nao being at one such school. After Yuu is told more about his power by Shunsuke, he uses his power to obtain his brother's time leap abilities in order to go back to a few days before Ayumi's death, and prevent it from happening in the first place.

Take a Third Option: Yu is offered this after he's exposed for using his powers to cheat on tests. Seeing as it was pretty much An Offer You Can't Refuse, he doesn't have much choice but to accept Nao's invitation. Yusa is given this option as well in Episode 3 after she accidentally takes her producer's smartphone home with her and reads a text on it regarding some illegal activities. Simply returning the phone or taking it to the police would spell trouble for her, so Nao decides to Blackmail the producer instead to keep him from threatening her with some flashy displays of force. And like Yu, she's offered some sanctuary at their school afterwards.

Foreshadowing: Ayumi's pizza sauce running out in Episode 5 foreshadows the "running out" of humorous times as by the end of Episode 6, things have gotten much more serious. Yuu's true ability, "Plunder" can be considered foreshadowed in Episode 5, where Yu possesses the person with the ability to fly and is almost instantaneously able to grasp how to use it in a five second window. When Ayumi starts coughing during the phonecall with Yuu, lot's of viewers sensed that there was something going wrong. Ayumi's interest in stars + the opening + the title of the anime. During the baseball game, the main characters note that the catcher on the team is quite skilled. It turns out that Arifumi wants to use his powers to help said catcher go pro.

Made of Iron: Joujirou can go through windows and into walls at near-mach speeds and come out with little more than scratches. The body armor that he wears is just icing on the cake. Nao brushes off a punch to the face and being beaten by a mob with little more than an "ouch".

Episode 11 is a huge one after episode 10's seemingly happy ending. Kumagami is tortured to reveal information. Yuu also suffers a severe Eye Scream attack, and is stabbed in the shoulder, causing him extreme stress, and triggering the "collapse" ability. Kumagami then is killed attempting to shield Nao from falling debris.

Mood Whiplash
 Charlotte / int_a4c37cbe
comment
Mood Whiplash: Episode 2, where Yuu and Nao visit Nao's brother on the outskirts of town. The moment was entirely funny when Nao, being a Big Eater, rudely ate her lunch box (which is still smoking hot) inside an air conditioned train, pissing off the passengers standing near her, and after she sees Yuu hasn't eaten his sandwich, the scene cuts to the two of them waiting for the bus, while Nao eats his sandwich. When they are riding the bus a few minutes later, the whole situation becomes more gloomy as Nao tells him about her and her brother's backstory. Episode 6, in a broader sense, turns out to be mood whiplash for the entire series. It goes from the usual beginnings of each episode, turns funny with some Ship Tease between Nao and Yu, and then ends with Ayumi's "collapse" power triggering as she's about to get attacked by a Yandere, with Yu frantically running into the collapsed section, the episode ending with debris about to fall onto him. To make it worse, The Stinger reveals blood flowing among the debris. The entire second half of Episode 6 turns this series from a somewhat flat and repetitive storyline with jokes and gags everywhere into a potentially tragic drama. Happens in Episode 7, albeit very briefly. Joujirou and Yusa come to hopefully break Yu out of his rut, but when Yu decides not to answer them, Misa gets pissed and drops the cream stew Yusa cooked. Joujirou does his usual fanboying, but it's only for a second and the show quickly returns to its dramatic mood. Episode 11 is a huge one after episode 10's seemingly happy ending. Kumagami is tortured to reveal information. Yuu also suffers a severe Eye Scream attack, and is stabbed in the shoulder, causing him extreme stress, and triggering the "collapse" ability. Kumagami then is killed attempting to shield Nao from falling debris.

The Promise: In Episode 12, Yuu confesses to Nao, and the two of them promise that after Yuu saves every single ability wielder in the world, the two of them will become lovers. Although, for the more experienced viewers, this seems to be a bad sign.

Though he forgets about her, deep down he remembers it being very important, and it helps him to just barely finish his mission and return to her.

All Up to You: Subverted in episode 11. Due to extensive Black Mail, Yuu is tasked with stopping the rogue ability user group by himself with Shunsuke's group nearby to assist if needed. Unfortunately one of their members attacks him to prevent him from using his abilities properly. Though he nominally stops them after unconsciously triggering the "collapse" ability, Kumagami, one of the hostages, is killed shielding Nao from the falling debris. Shunsuke's group was also unfortunately unable to assist as Yuu used that ability rather quickly due to being stabbed by the girl attacking him, and they were wondering why he hadn't used the time-leap ability yet.

Loophole Abuse
 Charlotte / int_b1dde8fd

Loophole Abuse: In Episode 4's baseball game, Joujirou barely manages to bunt the ball. The opposing team thinks it's an easy out, only for him to use his Super-Speed, and crash into a hill far away. However, the umpire didn't see him touch the base, and Joujirou's distance from first base is a bit excessive. Nao shows the umpire video footage that Joujirou did indeed touch the base. Though a bit confused at what just happened, he calls the play safe.note In baseball, if the batter can make it to first base before the baseball is thrown and caught by the first baseman on the opposing team, he can run or slide past it and still be safe.

Superpower Russian Roulette
 Charlotte / int_b2e42598
comment
Superpower Russian Roulette: Certain abilities are activated automatically, but some of them are downright devastating, either to the wielder or to those around them. Ayumi gets hit hard. Case in point, her ability "collapse" is incredibly dangerous and destructive. Not only that, but it's triggered by her emotions and she can't turn it off. It ends up killing her and after Yuu plunders it, causes him to accidentally kill Kumagami. After Yuu plunders telepathy, it fills his head with voices and he can't sleep unless he takes pills.

Nao gives Yuu a bunch of English flash cards to help him on his international journey in episode 13, and at first he has to use English to communicate with people. Yuu's voice actor completely butchers the pronunciation, which is justified in-universe for a Japanese teenager who's bad at English; what comes across as implausible is how the English-speakers he talks to are able to understand his English without subtitles! This whole problem is dispensed with when he steals an ability that makes people percieve whatever he says in Japanese as if it were in their language and vice-versa, so that from then onward all foreign diaglogue is represented as Yuu hears it: in Japanese.

New Powers as the Plot Demands
 Charlotte / int_c26e2b1

New Powers as the Plot Demands: Yuu finds out more about his ability to take over people's bodies briefly once his brother and Nao mention to him what it actually does. It allows him to steal ability-users powers. It gets used extensively in episode 13, when he starts traveling around the world to take their powers and save them from being further exploited. He also conveniently gains abilities that then help him to search for others more easily, such as being able to see where ability users are simply by looking at a map. Or having various languages around the world translate automatically into Japanese for him, thus avoiding his need to learn new ones.

Shout-Out
 Charlotte / int_c75df49a
comment
Shout-Out: Yuu references the philosopher René Descartes in the first few minutes of the first episode when he contemplates his ability. Nao refers to Ichiro when she sees Misa running to the first base in Episode 4. During Episode 5, Misa snatches a game console from Joujirou and immediately belts out a string of ORA ORA ORAs. Yuu watches a bit of Angel Beats! in a manga cafe in Episode 7. The Angel Beats! cast makes lots of cameos in the background as well! As seen in the arcade, there's a poster of Girls Dead Monster on the wall and on the gaming screen we see T.K. and Matsushita. Also, when Yuu listens to ZHIEND for the first time, the scene, colors and his reaction are extremely similar to Iwasawa Masami hers when she listened to Sad Machine for the first time. Dango play a big role in Episode 7. One of Key's and Jun Maeda's most famous works had the "Big Dango Family".

Spoiler Opening
 Charlotte / int_cd83fa5b

Spoiler Opening: Subtle, but it's there. The opening puts a lot of focus on Nao. She's Yuu's Love Interest. The lyrics talk about the world's collapse, loneliness, loss, moving forward, bearing the role of a god, becoming a monster, and coming back home. Shunsuke comes from a Bad Future. Both the Otosakas and Nao are alone, in that Yuu and Ayumi were left behind by their brother, while Nao's own brother was Driven to Madness. Ayumi is killed by her ability, driving Yuu to grief. Nao saves Yuu from his grief, letting him move past her death. Yuu's ability is plunder, and he decides that he'll strip all ability holders of their powers. After stealing many abilities, he breaks down mentally and becomes a monster whose only purpose is to steal them from others. He comes back home in the end, but loses his memories from the stress of his task.

To make it worse, The Stinger reveals blood flowing among the debris. The entire second half of Episode 6 turns this series from a somewhat flat and repetitive storyline with jokes and gags everywhere into a potentially tragic drama.

Drugs Are Bad: The moral of the story in episode 7. Although Nao spends most of the episode accompanying Yuu invisibly when he falls into a spiral of self-destruction, and only watches as he viciously beats up punks on the street while abusing his power, she finally intervenes only when he tries to use the drugs he picked up from one of the thugs, while telling him he will no longer be human if he goes through with it.

Bad Future
 Charlotte / int_deb39de3
comment
The lyrics talk about the world's collapse, loneliness, loss, moving forward, bearing the role of a god, becoming a monster, and coming back home. Shunsuke comes from a Bad Future. Both the Otosakas and Nao are alone, in that Yuu and Ayumi were left behind by their brother, while Nao's own brother was Driven to Madness. Ayumi is killed by her ability, driving Yuu to grief. Nao saves Yuu from his grief, letting him move past her death. Yuu's ability is plunder, and he decides that he'll strip all ability holders of their powers. After stealing many abilities, he breaks down mentally and becomes a monster whose only purpose is to steal them from others. He comes back home in the end, but loses his memories from the stress of his task.

Casual Danger Dialogue
 Charlotte / int_df41acb
comment
Casual Danger Dialogue: In episode 2, after Joujirou crashes into some large windows in the cafeteria, Yu notices he's bleeding quite a bit in areas not protected by a suit under his uniform, such as his head. Joujirou doesn't seem to think it's such a big deal, even as blood squirts from his head. He does it again in episode 3, this time while attempting to grab some curry. Yu once again is freaked out by the blood on his head. During episode 13, Yuu has some casual thoughts while mobsters are shooting at him. However, his forcefield protects him. And later when attacked by a man with a crossbow, he seems uninterested in it while getting shot.

Expy: Nearly half of the main characters. Yuu is expy to both Lelouch vi Britannia from Code Geass (both use powers that light up their eyes to manipulate others and have a little sister whom they love very much) and to Light Yagami from Death Note (both have the same evil grin, same way of laughing and both are considered as humble Bishounen in their respective series). Just like Yuu who has similarities to a certain Code Geass character, Nao has her own in Leila Malcal. Both resemble each other in terms of appearance and for being a leader of their respective groups. Joujiro is basically Takamatsu from Angel Beats!. They share similar looks, similar ripped body, similar personality, and the same voice actor. Another Angel Beats! comparison; Sala Shane has the same voice actress, both singing and speaking as Masami Iwasawa, she even has an accident happen to her earlier in her life, however unlike how Iwasawa's ultimately lead to her death, Sala only lost her eyesight.

Shunsuke gives an Info Dump to Yuu as to what he's done with his powers. He goes back in time, and attempts to save ability users, but is repeatedly thwarted by the organization studying them. He then uses his knowledge of future events such as lottery numbers to gain large sums of cash to open up schools to protect them with, with Nao being at one such school.

For the first five episodes, it's mostly lighthearted, though with a few hints at something sinister going on behind the scenes. It's usually just about finding a different superhuman each week and convincing them to not abuse their powers.

Exact Words: Nao says that if Yu will just eat one bite of his food, then she promises they'll never have anything to do with each other ever again. After Yu finishes eating, he points out this promise, which is when Nao tells him he didn't eat one bite, but rather the entire thing.

Big Damn Heroes: Shunsuke, who even lost his eyesight and ability to save everyone. His friends that helped him each timeline fit to this trope as well. In the final episode, Shunsuke shows up with a helicopter as Yuu is about to get killed. Done repeatedly by Yuu in episode 13 as he searches for ability users worldwide. He ends up protecting many of them from getting exploited or attacked before stealing their powers to prevent further exploitation.

Defied Trope
 Charlotte / int_ec02c97e
comment
Generally Defied. A majority of ability users have limitations on how they can use their powers, either because of scope (Nao can only become invisible to one person at a time) or control (Joujirou can 'teleport' using psychic self-propulsion but can't control the amount of force behind it), and does not have any degree of super-reflexes or invincibility, so often gets Amusing Injuries.

Mundane Utility
 Charlotte / int_eff83d77
comment
Mundane Utility: In Episode 2, Joujirou uses his ability to buy some sandwiches without having to wait in line in the cafeteria. Unfortunately with this method the sandwiches he grabs are random due to not having time to pick, and the resultant shock wave of his passage overturns every table in the vincinity◊. On top of that Yu mentions all the sandwiches are squashed as well. Done again in Episode 5, though Misa's not too happy with being used as a lighter.

Would Hit a Girl: The suspicious man chasing after Yusa in episode 3. After Nao spots him and chases after him behind a building, he punches her in the face rather hard. The muscular man in episode 11. He kidnaps Nao not before he punches her so hard that makes her flying across her room and falls unconscious immediately.

Earn Your Happy Ending: Yuu's formidable task of finding every ability user in the world in episode 13 really takes a heavy toll on his sanity. Fortunately Nao's notes become a Chekhov's Gun for him, and it helps him to carry out his mission even after he forgets why he was searching for ability users and even who gave him the notes in the first place.

In episode 10 while infiltrating Ayumi's school, Yusa and Nao attempt to wear the girl's middle school uniform, while Joujirou attempts to disguise himself as a teacher. Nobody there is fooled, as Joujirou isn't recognized by one of the real teachers there and dragged to the faculty office, while one of the boys there immediately recognizes Yusa. Another student comments that Nao is very pretty, and sort of suspicious for being seen with Yusa. Yuu really wants to do a Face Palm while hiding in a storage locker at how easily they were caught.

Running Gag: Joujirou's habit of getting limited foods in the cafeteria, and the Amusing Injuries he often has on him afterwards. Any time Joujirou, or any male fan of Yusa, goes into fanboy mode. If Nao is within earshot, she will comment at what a disgusting turn off that is.

Cerebus Roller Coaster: This show's all over the place with this. For the first five episodes, it's mostly lighthearted, though with a few hints at something sinister going on behind the scenes. It's usually just about finding a different superhuman each week and convincing them to not abuse their powers. The show takes a pretty dark turn in episode 6 and 7, where one of Ayumi's classmates tries to murder her, which triggers Ayumi's "Collapse" ability, which kills Ayumi as the school collapses on top of her. This hits Yu hard, and he ends up nearly becoming a drug addict if it wasn't for Nao's intervention. After that, things seem to be fine, and even gets a Hope Spot in episode 10, as Yu's real ability, called plunder, is to steal the abilities of others; he was able to acquire the ability to time travel to go back and save Ayumi from her fate. Then it all goes straight to hell again: in episode 11, a rogue group of international ability wielders kidnap Kumagami and Nao in order to Black Mail Shunsuke and Yu. Kumagami's tortured, and dies after protecting Nao from the collapsed warehouse that Yu unfortunately brought down. The show ultimately ends on a bittersweet note, as Yu is able to successfully plunder all of the ability wielders around the world so that they can avoid being exploited, but this came at the cost of his sanity and his memories, including why he was even doing it in the first place. He only kept going becuase of a vague recollection to do so, thanks to Nao's study notes. Shunsuke rescues him and brings him back to Japan, but since Yu's lost all of his memories, he doesn't know who anyone is anymore, but Nao vows to make new memories with him and everyone else instead.

Kumagami is subjected to Cold-Blooded Torture, including pulling his fingernails and losing some of his teeth, and Nao is hanging in her underwear with her hands tied, along with some bruises throughout her body. Additionally, she sustained a rather hard punch while attempting to defend herself in her room.
