Kaginado (literally "Key, Etc.") is a 4-minutenote including its 35 seconds long ED anime series animated by Liden Films and created by Key/Visual Arts, first released in October 2021. The anime is a Crossover Gag Series featuring the various Key franchises, namely Kanon, AIR, CLANNAD, Little Busters!, Rewrite and, to a lesser extent, planetarian. The setting of this series features the characters of the aforementioned franchises in form of Super-Deformed designs and interacting each other, with a lot of Mythology Gags, Breaking the Fourth Wall and self-parodies, as well as reused songs and soundtracks of each series. The first season has 12 episodes.The world of Kaginado is inhabited by the characters of the various Key franchises, with most of the visiting Kaginado Academy. They live their not-so-ordinary lives at the school and in town where a lot of random hijinks ensue. The world itself is observed by Yumemi Hoshino and Ushio Okazaki inside the planetarium.The final episode of the first season reveals the inclusion of Angel Beats!, followed by the announcement of a second season in April 2022. In the second season, Yuri Nakamura and her SSSnote "Shinda Sekai Sensen" or "Afterlife Battlefront try to lure out god and destroy the world of Kaginado, basically the same goal as in their home series, but they repeatedly fail comically. Throughout the course of the series, the SSS and Tenshi become more and more accustomed to the world of Kaginado instead.

Hotter and Sexier
 Kaginado / int_108c268e
comment
Hotter and Sexier: Ecstasy and Wafter are acknowledged as the R-rated works, to the point that the characters even mention Ecstasy Mode and Wafter Mode as sexier upgrades. Notably, since CLANNAD has no R-rated scenes, this is brought up in form of Fridge Brilliance. Tomoya has sex with only one girl in CLANNAD ~After Story~ (off-screen) and Tomoyo After, respectively, which is why he acknowledges only one girl for each work as his partner. Similarly, Kotarou has zero partners because Rewrite is for all-ages and has no R-rated version.

Amazingly Embarrassing Parents
 Kaginado / int_1434e55c
comment
Amazingly Embarrassing Parents: In episode 10, Akiko receives a Sailor Fuku from Koumura-sensei and runs around the school while wearing it, much to Nayuki's chagrin. Nayuki falls so much in despair that she borrows Kaori's Catchphrase and falls into the same depressed state she was in during her own route.

Sibling Rivalry
 Kaginado / int_19209d54
comment
Sibling Rivalry: Ryou has a deep grudge on Kyou because of the latter's action in CLANNAD, as well as the fact that Ryou is significantly less popular as a character. Haruka has a grudge on Kanata for similar reasons like Ryou, but in episode 8, she's willing to forgive her. Mainly because Haruka got her comeuppance in the previous episode. However, episode 12 heavily implies that Haruka is still not over it yet. Rin views Kyousuke as her romantic rival and doesn't want her brother to be flirty with Riki at all.

Always Someone Better

comment
Always Someone Better: Yukito is already struggling to earn money with his magic in AIR, but he can't measure up to Kotori who can basically do the same thing as him, but on a much bigger scale. And when he tries to challenge her to a fight, even when empowered by the feelings of his ancestors, his little puppet has no chance against Kotori's parents who use a shotgun and a chainsaw.

Heterosexual Life-Partners
 Kaginado / int_1a215b11
comment
Heterosexual Lifepartners: The initial contestants of the "Mister 'Miss Kaginado' Contest" consist of the male best friends of each protagonist and they were chosen because of that criteria. Kitagawa for Yuichi, Sunohara for Tomoya, Kyousuke for Riki (with Masato and Kengo competing who Riki's best friend truly is), and Yoshino for Kotarou (even though the former denies to be the latter's friend). Since Yukito has no male best friend, his ancestor Ryuuya was chosen instead. The winner, Hinata, also serves as one for Otonashi.

The Cameo
 Kaginado / int_1b65dfad
comment
The Cameo: Happens in every episode. You will see several characters having silent cameos, usually in form of still-frames. Most of the narrators do that in form of their voices. Episode 13 actually focuses on this, where characters who either only had silent cameos or only narration roles during the first season were now given their proper appearance.

Green-Eyed Monster: The slumber party consisting of the "secondary" heroines (Nayuki, Kyou, Komari, Kotori and Yurippe) are all jealous of the main heroines, which drives them crazy. This is also made worse by the fact that several of them share some traits with the main heroines, yet they aren't main heroines themselves.

Adaptational Villainy: In Angel Beats!, Yuri wanted to take over purgatory and basically "free" it from God's rule so that the dead people there could have free reign despite her occasional mean streaks. When she made her first appearance at the end of Kaginado Season 1, she declares her group's intention to destroy the whole world just to spite the God who made it.

Massive Multiplayer Crossover: Yumemi and Ushio are watching the world of Kaginado inside the planetarium. The world of Kaginado has the characters from Kanon, AIR, CLANNAD, Little Busters! and Rewrite, with most of them attending the same school, yet retain the original school uniforms of their respective home series. There are a lot of fourth-wall breaking jokes and the characters even have (some) extended knowledge of the series they don't appear in. By the end of season 1, the characters of Angel Beats! has also joined the world of Kaginado.

Student Council President: Episode 21-23 is a mini-arc where various Key character are running for the high school's student council president candidacy, including middle school students, adults and even animals. All of them do it for personal reasons or are chosen by other characters to be candidates. The new student council president is nobody. All candidates share the same number of votes, and they all chase after Ayu who has yet to vote. However, episode 24 reveals that there is a new student council president, but it's not revealed who that is.

Actor Allusion: Episode 1 has Riki accidently blurb an "Uguu~", and Yuuichi points out that Ayu was just playing baseball before. Riki and Ayu are both played by Yui Horie. Episode 11 has Michiru calling for Sayuri's name. Michiru and Mai (and Mei) are voiced by Yukari Tamura. Episode 11 has Saya laughing maniacally, similar to Yurippe from Angel Beats!. Could also be Foreshadowing, as Yurippe herself appears at the end of the very next episode. Episode 18 has Dorj sing AIR's opening theme Tori no Uta, but with cat lyrics. Dorj is voiced by Lia, who has sung various songs for the Key franchises. Episodes 19 and 20 pair Tenshi and Kagari, who often talk one after another. They are both voiced by Kana Hanazawa. While they both look and sound very similar to each other, this also allows to show off how Hanazawa gives them distinct nuances to their voices, as Tenshi has an even softer voice than Kagari.

Sibling Team: The point of episode 7. The older siblings are the hitters, the younger siblings are the pitchers. The competition is about the bond and trust between hitter and pitcher and accomplish a homerun. Everyone fails spectacularly, while Shizuru and Nishizono don't even get a chance to participate at all. Kouko, who is the referee and not a player, declares herself the winner because she's the only true Cool Big Sis...despite that Fuuko doesn't even appear in the episode.

comment
Butt-Monkey: Sunohara from CLANNAD continues to be this, seen in episodes 2 and 3. In episode 6, the characters are shocked that he's the only one in the room who acts as the Only Sane Man, a reaction he finds quite rude. Kitagawa is treated as if he's a Flat Character version of Sunohara. Yukito can't catch a break as well, notably seen in episode 5 where he is unable to earn any money at the flea market, and is treated as a sex offender in episode 9. In episode 10, the literal poor guy is bribed to help out for the cultural festival, and in episode 11 he's playing a tree during Nagisa's stage play, most likely for the same reason (bribe). In episode 24, when he gets to say something cool for once and he anticipates to be treated as an awesome guy, Yuichi points out that Yukito's an adult and shouldn't even walking with them to school. The girls from Little Busters! (mainly Kud and Sasasegawa since they are the most upset about it) are the only ones (aside from Kagari who is from Rewrite) who remain in chibi form throughout the entire Pool Episode and are upset by this. Splashing cold water on them doesn't change their appearance like the other girls. Doing poses doesn't do it either for them. And when it seems it's because of Buxom Beauty Standard, they are then devastated that even Riki (the male protagonist of Little Busters!) gets un-chibified (twice). The same happens to them in episode 17. To twist the knife even further, some of the boys such as Masato unchibify too, and so do fellow Little Busters! heroine Haruka and fellow Pettanko Tenshi. When she's not unleashing her inner turmoil, Ryou is still this, as evidenced with being hit in the face with a volleyball in episode 17. Despite the ED, the merchandises and advertisements treat Rin as the main heroine of Little Busters!, the series never actually gives her the proper treatment. Instead, the series makes fun of how she's not the main heroine without actually explicitly saying so. Rin is not mentioned once to be Riki's main love interest, and instead jokes about Kyousuke being his true love. Episode 20 has Rin completely absent from the pajama party of main heroines, where she's replaced by Riki himself. Episode 24, the final episode of the anime, finally treats her like a main heroine. Yurippe's various scheme fail miserably. Notably, the SSS membersnote namely, Yurippe, Takamatsu, Noda, Shiina, Fujimaki, TK, "5th Dan" Matsushita, Ohyama and Takeyama who attempt to kidnap the second bus in episode 16 are not only foiled by the Rewrite cast, they don't get to enjoy the beach trip in the next episode at all, since they are buried in sand as their punishment. At the end of episode 17, they are still buried and left completely forgotten at the beach while half their heads are submerged by sea water. Yusa, the one member who is with them in the bus, actually gets scott-free for some reason, is able to enjoy the entirety of beach trip, and is the only SSS member to ride on the second bus for the trip back home even when there's enough empty seats in the first bus left.

comment
Advertised Extra: The five main heroines of each franchise, Ayu, Misuzu, Nagisa, Rin and Kagari are heavily advertised and most of the merchandise focus solely on them, but they have very little screentime since Kaginado doesn't focus on any character in particular. Although Ayu is the general exception of this. It wouldn't be until episode 20 where the main heroines (which also includes Tenshi) would have their dedicated episode together...except that Rin is completely omitted from the slumber party and have Riki replace her as a joke.

Black Comedy Rape
 Kaginado / int_4c851777
comment
Black Comedy Rape: Combined with Double Standard Rape: Female on Male. The ending of episode 20 implies that Riki is gangraped by the main heroines of the other Key series. All the traumatized boy has to say is that "The secret garden is only beautiful if the secret is kept". However, whether or not he was actually raped is left ambiguous and open to interpretation, since it's also possible that he was just interrogated by them.

Innocent Fanservice Girl: To prepare her ultimate power, Kanna strips herself naked and flies up to the sky, only for her to be disqualified by indecent exposure. She's oblivious to the effect it creates, leading to her opponent Kengo fainting from nose-bleed, and many of the male characters in the audience lusting over her naked body (barring Tomoya who looks away, and Riki and Yuichi who are unphased by it, all three of them being known to not be virgins).

Chased Off into the Sunset: Combined with Everyone Chasing You. Episode 23 ends with every character chasing after Ayu, so that she can cast the deciding vote for the student council president election. The chase scene is a Mythology Gag to Kanon's (2006) ED animation. While Ayu and her pursuers are running, the sky keeps changing accordingly to the position of the sun and the background changes to various locations from the different franchises, including Torishirojima, which is the location of Summer Pockets.

In episode 10, Kyousuke chooses Michiru, Mei, Kud and Shimako as the contestants of the beauty contest, and Kurugaya sneakily puts their photos inside her cleavage.

They make up in episode 11 because they still love marine products, regardless which species. Even though taiyaki isn't a marine product, just fish-shaped cake, which is lampshaded by Ryuuya.

Not-So-Imaginary Friend: Nishizono's younger sister Midori is depicted as an Imaginary Friend. In episode 7, when asked where Midori is, Nishizono claims that Midori has been standing next to her the entire time. Since the others don't see her, they are creeped out by this. Despite this, Riki actually counts Midori as one of the ten girls he had sex with. She actually makes her first appearance in episode 22, but none of the characters are shown to react to her unlike with all the other candidates.

High School AU: Much like Isekai Quartet, Kaginado follows the same premise of putting Key's various franchises into a high school setting and using Super-Deformed character designs.

Only One Name: While most of the cast of Angel Beats! are known for having only one name, the Kaginado credits extend this further with Matsushita, Iwasawa, Irie and Sekine, who do actually have full names, but are credited by only their family names instead. Similarly, Tenshi is credited by her nickname rather than her full name. Sekine and Irie do refer to each other by their given names, with an added "-n" to make them sound cuter.

Defeat by Modesty: Double Subverted in episode 3. The boys aren't bothered that they end up naked because of Lucia's "Extreme Vibration" curse, but once all boys of the "Soccer Club"note Sunohara being the only genuine member end up naked, Kanata and Shizuru suspend the Soccer Club indefinitely, thus the Neo Kendo Club win by default. Subverted in episode 13. While Kanna gets disqualified in the fighting tournament for stripping herself naked, she also defeats her opponent Kengo with her indecent expore, as his "innocence" cannot take that much stimula.

Big Brother Instinct: One of the young girls included in Kyousuke's candidates for the beauty contest in episode 10 is Mei, which her older brother Youhei is obviously none too pleased about when he sees her photograph (he's even audibly threatening to kill Kyousuke in the background while Kurugaya is talking in the forefront). On a more serious note, him defending Mei from the soccer team in the CLANNAD anime was also referenced earlier in episode 6, and he casually comments that despite not being doting towards Mei, any older brother would do that to anyone who makes their younger sister cry. When Mei ends her candidate speech with "and toilet seat cover" in episode 22, Sunohara wants the person who taught her this "dumb joke" to show themselves, presumely so he can beat them up.

Lemony Narrator: Starting from episode 2, there's a narrator every episode, but they don't necessarily appear in the episode. Some of them also mention that they are done with the narration or express themselves while in-character. The narrators are characters that exist within the various franchises. However, the second season rarely uses opening narrations. Episode 2: Naoyuki Okazaki from CLANNAD. Episode 3: Midou from Rewrite. Episode 4: Keisuke Tachibana from AIR. Episode 5: Sakura Kashima from Rewrite. Episode 6-7: Kouko Ibuki-sensei from CLANNAD. She also appears in those episodes. Episode 8: Yumemi Hoshino from planetarian. She also appears in the episode. Episode 9: Yuichi Aizawa from Kanon. He also appears in the episode. Episode 10: Hijiri Kirishima from AIR. Episode 11: Yaobikuni from AIR. Episode 12: Yuzuru Otonashi from Angel Beats!. He appears at the end of the episode. Episode 16: Misuzu Kamio from AIR. She appears at the beginning of the episode. Episode 20: Akiko Minase from Kanon.

Secret Circle of Secrets: Parodied in episode 9 with the 21st Protagonist Convention. The protagonists are sitting in a council meeting, have their faces covered in brown paper bags and have the room lit with only torchlights to make the atmosphere ominous. They address each other as Comrade A, Comrade K, Comrade O, Comrade N and Comrade T...except they keep saying their real names before backtracking to their council names. By the end of the episode you have heard every council member's name but Yukito's. The council is seen again at the end of episode 20 (the 22nd Protagonist Convention), this time with Otonashi being added to their ranks (which would make him the second Comrade O).

Token Adult: Yukito is the only male protagonist who doesn't attend Kaginado Academy and is therefore not a student like the others. That's because he's already an adult. Although Kotarou is secretly almost 30 years old, but is physically in his teens. Because of his age, Yukito having sexual relationships with the three teenage heroines is treated as a crime by at least three of the other protagonists. This is addressed again in episode 24, where Yuichi points out how Yukito walking with them to school doesn't make sense.

comment
Spotlight-Stealing Squad: During the first season, Sunohara, Shizuru and Nishizono appeared in and had more prominent speaking roles in more episodes than a majority of other characters with 6, 9 and 7 appearances in 12 episodes respectively. Some characters were lucky to appear as background characters in one episode, let alone several. Kyou and Ryou almost fall into this given they appeared in almost every episode during the first half of the series, but didn't make any more significant appearances beyond episode 7. Lampshaded in the second season's first episode, in which the characters who had the most appearances become the target of a grudge. Except Shizuru, who's had so many appearances that she is apparently above jealousy. With season 2, Yurippe as the seasonal Big Bad appears in almost every episode of the season, except for episode 19. Throughout both seasons, Ayu is the main heroine with the most amount of appearances and speaking roles. Chihaya still holds a grudge against Sakuya for stealing the spolight on her route.

Uke: Riki is often treated this way. Kappei is treated as this in season 2, a nod to Sunohara mistaking him for a girl and the BL overtones of Sunohara and Kappei in Kappei's route in their home game. Naoi acts like this towards Otonashi, to the point that Naoi would reduce himself as Otonashi's personal dog/mascot and imagines himself as the Eve to Otonashi's Adam.

Adaptational Dumbass: Yurippe of Angel Beats!, while freely admitting that she and her organization are "a bunch of morons", was still easily the smartest and most capable of the bunch, possessing great leadership skills and being very good at well calculated strategic thinking in most situations, which allowed her to get one over on Angel and the Student Council on more than one occasion. The Yurippe of this series is more of an impulsive Butt-Monkey and Ineffectual Sympathetic Villain whose plans for "destroying the world" are all crazy schemes that are never met with success, much to her constant frustration.

Tournament Arc

comment
Tournament Arc: Tournament Episode to be exact. Episode 19 parodies Dragon Ball's Tenkaichi Budokai, with each series sending their strongest character to fight for them in the tournament to determine the strongest character of Key. The participants are Mai Kawasumi (Kanon), Kannabi-no-Mikoto (AIR), Kotomi Ichinose (CLANNAD), Kengo Miyazawa (Little Busters!), Chihaya Ohtori (who summons Sakuya to fight for her) (Rewrite) and "5th Dan" Matsushita (Angel Beats!), although Tenshi (Angel Beats!) later joins the battle and wins the competition.

Art Shift: This is deliberately done in episode 4, where the girls (and Riki) are drawn in their normal proportions to provide service, rather than in this series usual chibi style. Episode 10 does this briefly again when Kuruguya shoves the loli photos into her cleavage. Episode 17 repeats the same premise of episode 4. A close-up on Takamatsu's raging face is also shown in normal proportion, since he's unable to show of his muscles like the other guys. The beginning of episode 20 has the main heroines in normal proportions to show off their pajamas.

Sexual Euphemism
 Kaginado / int_9597a894
comment
Sexual Euphemism: While the word "sex" is never outright said out loud in the series, the savvy audience realize soon that "partners" refer to "girls they had sex with", due to Tomoya having only one "partner" per visual novel, Kotarou having zero, and Riki having ten, while Yukito is declared "guilty" for having "partners" because of the age gap. Later in episode 20, Kagari uses the word "reproduction" as a substitute for sex, which is significantly less ambiguous, and she even says that Riki is the Key human who "reproduced" the most often.

Chick Magnet: Lampshaded in episode 9, as the protagonists have quite the harems. Riki goes beyond that, having the biggest harem of them all and being also a Dude Magnet. Kotarou, Yukito and Yuichi are jealous that Riki has been intimate with ten different girls. In the same episode, the boys all refer to Tomoya as "Harem King". Episode 20 takes this further, as Riki easily gets the sexual attention from the Key main heroines.

Election Day Episode: Episode 21-23 isa a mini-arc revolving around various Key characters trying to become the student council president. The candidates form various parties and try to attract votes from other students. Yurippe and Naoi believe that becoming the student council president would effectively make them the god of the Kaginado world, which is mostly a school. The result of the election: All candidates share the same amount of votes, with Ayu being the only character left who has not voted yet because she has been confined in the "self-reflection room" the entire time, leading to the entire cast chasing after her.

Adaptational Jerkass: Ryou is notably much more bitter and cynical here than her canon counterpart, and she has a big grudge towards her twin sister Kyou for stealing Tomoya away from her. In Season 2, this also extends to her sister's pet boat Botan for not liking her either. Speaking of Tomoya, one gets the idea he doesn't like his wife very much in Kaginado, unlike his canon self. In episode 9, he laments wanting to walk away when Nagisa uttered the word "Anpan" when they met, and mocked her death in the same episode. The writers seem to have noticed this, as in season 2 we have Tomoya and Nagisa sitting next to each other on a bus going to a field trip, and then asleep, cuddling and holding hands on the way home.

Which is true, since of all visual novels and games purely made by Key (Heaven Burns Red is a collaboration work done by Key and Wright Flyer Studios), there is no other heroine who wears glasses.

Notably, since CLANNAD has no R-rated scenes, this is brought up in form of Fridge Brilliance. Tomoya has sex with only one girl in CLANNAD ~After Story~ (off-screen) and Tomoyo After, respectively, which is why he acknowledges only one girl for each work as his partner. Similarly, Kotarou has zero partners because Rewrite is for all-ages and has no R-rated version.

Hypocritical Humor: In episode 6, when Kyou and Kanata brag about how cute their younger sisters are, Kouko immediately turns on the TV to show Ryou being interviewed, with Ryou revealing how her older twin practiced kissing while masquerading as her. Kanata is disgusted by Kyou, but then the interview switches to Haruka, who reveals that Kanata did the same thing as Kyou, only instead of just practicing, she actually did kiss Riki. Kaori then looks down on Kyou and Kanata for being such disgraceful older sisters, then the interview cuts to Shiori who reveals how her older sister used to say "I don't have a little sister". In episode 21, when Yurippe learns that most members of the SSS have been hanging out with their new friends at Kaginado Academy instead of attending the meeting, she claims that they have been "corrupted". Then Yukito, Saya and Yukine show up, who Yuri has already befriended with. Obviously, Otonashi comments on how she's been "corrupted" as well.

Really Gets Around: Yuichi has slept with all of his five heroines and is respected for that. Yukito has slept with all three heroines, but is judged by it because of the age gap. Riki has slept with ten different girls, which not only has him earn the respect of the fellow protagonists, the main heroines are interested in him because of the fact that he he has slept with so many girls. In episode 19, it's explicitly Yuichi and Riki among the audience who aren't phased by Kanna flying naked in the air because they are the least innocent. Also, due to Riki's high sex count, Kotarou, Yukito and Yuichi panic and think of ways how to increase their sex count to compete with Riki's, while Tomoya is the only one who thinks that having one partner is enough.

Bait-and-Switch Credits

comment
Bait-and-Switch Credits: The five main heroines of each franchise, Ayu, Misuzu, Nagisa, Rin and Kagari are present in every picture of the ED. Yet they have very little screentime overall, and aside from the first episode, there has not been an episode truly dedicated to any of them during season 1. As of the second season, Tenshi joins them in the ED, although the six heroines aren't all present in every picture and are sometimes split in a couple of them. It wouldn't be until episode 20 (the 8th episode of the second season) that they finally get a dedicated episode to themselves...except that Riki is replacing Rin in that episode.

Mundane Afterlife: Discussed in episode 14. Yurippe is under the belief that the world of Kaginado must be an afterlife created by a god, and various Key characters comment on how they either died or almost died or are spirits, while characters like Yuichi insist that they are not dead or characters like Kyousuke or Kagari may have created this world themselves.

Cloudcuckoolander: A staple by Key, so all characters retain their weirdness from their home series. The most notable mention is Mai, whose Flanderization has her reduced to only saying her catch-phrases, which most of the time don't make any sense. Any outsider would not understand that "Honey bear" stands for "yes" and "Ponpoko tanuki" stands for "no", a Mythology Gag from Kanon. In episode 9, Kotarou later lampshades that Mai got those two catch-phrases from Yuichi in the first place.

Double Subverted in episode 3. The boys aren't bothered that they end up naked because of Lucia's "Extreme Vibration" curse, but once all boys of the "Soccer Club"note Sunohara being the only genuine member end up naked, Kanata and Shizuru suspend the Soccer Club indefinitely, thus the Neo Kendo Club win by default.

Disappointing Older Sibling
 Kaginado / int_ce0722f8
comment
Disappointing Older Sibling: Most of the younger sisters hold grudges towards their older siblings for the things they did in their canon series. Ryou and Haruka still hate their twin sisters Kyou and Kanata respectively for not only stealing the protagonists from them, but for impersonating them while doing so as well. Shiori still hates Kaori for the latter denying the former's existence, Rin is still angry for Kyosuke being romantically involved with Riki, and Chihaya is angry about the fact that fans think of her route as Sakuya's route. Shizuka doesn't even bother to show up because she continues not to view Shizuru as her older sister. Mei, who actually has a normal relationship with Sunohara, is grossed out by him because It Makes Sense in Context.

Second Place Is for Losers
 Kaginado / int_cef6a167
comment
Second Place Is for Losers: In episode 20, Nayuki, Kyou, Komari, Kotori and Yurippe hold a slumber party for "secondary" heroines, one room next to the main heroines who also hold a slumber party. All of the five secondary heroines are incredibly jealous for not being the main heroine. The two slumber parties are contrasted by each other by the positivity and negativity of their respective parties. On one hand, the main heroines wear proper pajamas and are barefoot (except for Kagari who has a Limited Wardrobe), they consume bakery sweets and juice, they have (mostly) fun conversations and are sitting in a well lit room. On the other hand, the secondary heroines wear tracksuits and socks, they consume junk food and soft drinks, they cynically complain all the time and are sitting in a dark room. This overall portrays the secondary heroines as losers. Episode 22 confirms this trope even more, as the secondary heroines form the Loser Heroine Gang.

In episode 19, Kotomi participants in the fighting tournament as CLANNAD's strongest character because of her violin. The soundwaves she produces can shatter walls, glass and porcelan.

Chekhov's Gunman: Episode 13 has a silhouette standing next to the scolded group early on in the episode. This silhoette turns out to be Kappei Hiiragi who has been present the entire episode. Episode 22 has Ayu being stuck in the "self-reflection" room. This becomes important in episode 23, since she's the only character left who has not voted yet, which would make her vote the tie-breaker.

Flanderization
 Kaginado / int_e5e6640b
comment
Flanderization: Due to Kaginado being a Gag Series, some characters have their key traits greatly exaggerated for humor. Most notably is Mai, whose dialogues consist only of her catch-phrases. Also of note are Misuzu who acts even more childish than she did at the end of AIR and she's obsessed with "crossing the goal" (in reference to her infamous death scene), Ayu whose taiyaki theft is almost her entire character, and Rin whose entire personality has been shifted to being pissed off at Kyousuke, Masato and Kengo or somebody else whenever she speaks. The second season continues to do this with the added Angel Beats! characters, with Tenshi and Naoi being the most notable example, since the former keeps eating Mapo Tofu in every scene she appears in and the latter's loyalty and obsession toward Otonashi become a full-blown crush.

A-Cup Angst: It's a running gag that Kud and Sasagesawa are tormented by the show for having flat boobs, although it doesn't stop other Pettanko characters to receive fanservice scenes. When the two try to run for student council candidacy together, they are joined by fellow pettanko Yui, who is under the belief that their boobs will grow bigger someday.

The room with the main heroines hold a proper and fun pajama party with bakery sweets and juice, while the room with the secondary heroines is filled with negativity and jealousy, the girls all wear sports jumpsuits and socks, and they consume junk food and soft drinks instead.

Groin Attack: Episode 7. While Ryou, Haruka and Shiori throw their baseballs right in the gut of their older sisters, Rin throws hers in Kyosuke's balls. Sakuya willingly jumps into Chihaya's ball to get hit in his balls as an apology. Sunohara fears that the same will happen to him, only for that comment to gross out Mei. Tomoyo returns Takafumi's ball by kicking it back and hitting him in his nuts and sending him into the sun on top of that.

One-Steve Limit: In episode 6, Nishizono lampshades that Tomoyo's father might have named her half-sister "Tomo", so in case if he accidently misnames one of them, he can shrug it off as a simple mistake. Kanata lampshades that Kanako does not only sound like her, but that even their names are too similar. While not mentioned, Yuusuke Yoshino from CLANNAD and Haruhiko Yoshino from Rewrite appear in the anime. They both even appear in episode 18, yet nobody ever references that they share the same family name despite both of them being commonly referred to by their family name. Similarly, Yukine and Kengo share the same family name Miyazawa. Since the two are generally referred to by their given names, it never comes up.

The Starscream: Unsurprisingly, Naoi betrays Yurippe in episode 21, so that the disciplinary committee would arrest her and he would have an easier time to become the next student council president. To be fair, Yurippe was trying to cheat during the election, and Naoi gets immediately his comeuppance by Tenshi who uses a Guard Skill specifically designed to "erase" him.

Undying Loyalty: Subverted. While the SSS were absolutely loyal to Yurippe in their home series (sans Otonashi who discovered the truth later on), they all seemingly eventually lose their loyalty towards her because they found new friends and interests in the world of Kaginado, leaving her alone and by herself. Luckily for her, Yurippe herself already found new friends and gets the support from the Loser Heroine Gang specifically. Double Subverted in episode 23, where it turns out that the loyal members of the SSS just left the meeting room to capture the traitors. Although at this point, Yurippe has already lost her ambition to destroy the world.

Running Gag: In addition to several which are present from their home series', Kaginado adds some new ones such as: Nishizono being a Covert Pervert. Riki being a closet uke for Kyousuke. Yuichi's Brutal Honesty, and Nishizono being a Deadpan Snarker. Riki's promiscuity. Yukito being a pathetic hobo who will do anything for food. Kyou making a profit on earplugs through Kotomi's terrible violin playing. Shima's jealousy of Misae showing affection to the other cats of the Keyverse making him angry enough to crack walls with his paws. Misuzu reenacting the famous "goal!" Scene for comedic effect. Yurippe's schemes ending in failure, usually with her yelling at the top of her lungs whenever it happens. Naoi's subservient love for Otonashi.
