Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Date A Live is a Japanese Light Novel series written by Koushi Tachibana, with illustrations by Tsunako and published by Fujimi Shobo under their Fujimi Fantasia Bunko label. The novel was first published in March 2011.The story is set in an alternate Earth where phenomena known by the generic term "Spacequakes" occur. The first of these spacequakes devastated thirty years before the time the story takes place, claiming 150 million lives. The protagonist, an Ordinary High-School Student by the name of Shido Itsuka, lives in a world where these disasters are common place. Schools regularly have drills in case of a spacequake, evacuations are done swiftly, and a group known as the JSDF disaster response team rebuilds the destroyed areas impossibly quickly. However things have gotten strange lately for Shido, the spacequakes that slowed down to a halt have suddenly appeared once again with terrifying frequency; and they all seem to be centered around where Shido lived...Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })After a confusing series of events, Shido soon learns that all is not what it appears in the world. He discovers that the spacequakes aren't natural disasters, they are caused by beings known as "Spirits" being forcibly sucked into this world from their own; and it also turns out that they happen to be top class Bishojo as well. He also finds out his little sister, Kotori, is a sadistic commander of a Spirit Response force, Ratatoskr, whose goal is to capture the Spirits without harming them. Unfortunately there is another group called the AST (Anti-Spirit Team) who feel that simply killing them is the best solution. Shido, being the kindhearted hero he is, decides to use any alternative to save the Spirits since killing them seemed wrong (despite the fact they seem to cause mass destruction wherever they go). And it turns out that there is a way to save the Spirits without hurting them, the Spirits are able to lose their powers and live amongst normal people if Shido manages to... make them fall in love with him? As his sister Kotori bluntly lays it out for him, "Since it's like this, just go date her, and make the spirit fall for you!"Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); })And so yet another hero is created, off to save the world through the power of harems. But he better be careful, because the nefarious Isaac Wescott, Director of Deus.Ex.Machina Industries, seeks the power of the Spirits for himself so he can make a new world.Three manga adaptations were published: Date A Live (which follows the original novels, and got Cut Short), Date Ast Like (a Yuri spinoff involving Origami, with a girl from the AST called Mikie as the main character), and Date A Origami (a 4-koma which focuses on the romantic comedy aspect of the series). An anime adaptation produced by AIC Plus+ was announced for the Spring 2013 Anime season. At the end of the last episode, a second season was announced, this time being produced by Production IMS. At the end of the Second Season, a film adaptation was announced, which was also produced by Production IMS. A third season premiered in January 2019, this time being produced by JC Staff. A fourth season was announced to be in production on March 16 2020 and initially scheduled to premiere in October 2021, but was later delayed to Spring 2022, now produced by Geek Toys. A fifth season was announced in June 2022 via a teaser at the end of the 12th episode of the fourth season.Not to be confused with Live A Live.Now has a character page.

Stop, or I Shoot Myself!: A variation of this occurs when Shido threatens to kill himself by jumping off the roof of the school if Kurumi doesn't back down. She calls his bluff (he wasn't), and he drops. Only for her to save him, and try to invoke a What the Hell, Hero? moment on him.

Trailers Always Spoil
 Date A Live / int_143939c1
comment
Trailers Always Spoil: Several volume covers blatantly spoil some big revelations that are included in the story. Volume 4's cover depicts Kotori in her Spirit form; Volume 7 has Tohka in her Inverse Form; Volume 9 has Natsumi's true form; Volume 10 has Origami in her newly-acquired Spirit form, and Volume 11 displays her Inverse Form. The preview at the end of the anime's first season gives away some key characters for Volumes 5 through 7, namely the Yamai sisters, Miku Izayoi, Westcott and his subordinate Ellen, and Tohka's Superpowered Evil Side. Subverted with the preview for the anime's third season, which only shows parts from the first episode that viewers should know in advance, like Natsumi's introduction.

Tempting Fate: In episode 1 of season 2, Shido takes Tohka out shopping after she accuses him of cheating on her with Origami. He takes her shopping with him, and promises to buy her as much kinako bread as she wants. However the first bakery is sold out, and Shido tries to reassure her that there are plenty of other bakeries, and they couldn't all possibly be sold out, only to find out they are all sold out. Kotori wonders why they just all happened to be sold out that day, with Reine suggesting maybe they had a sale. Kyouhei then immediately enters the bridge, commenting that he bought up all the kinako bread so that Tohka wouldn't go crazy, and inadvertently causing the problem.

Right Behind Me: In episode 8 of the anime, after Shido asks Kurumi out on a date, he has a Flash Back of being told by Kotori to ask her out. So he promises to make Kurumi fall in love with him, only for Origami to show up behind him and ask what he's talking about. The light novel has the same scene without the flashback.

 Date A Live / int_1c398324
comment
Death from Above: Kotori, while brainwashed by Miku, was nearly ready to fire her ship's Wave-Motion Gun on the building below where Shido was at (along with hundreds of Miku's fans, but apparently they didn't matter). However, she's stopped with a quick knockout by Mana, who was sleeping at the time when the Fraxinus bridge crew heard Miku's Hypno Ray music, and wasn't under Miku's influence as a result. Origami remembers that her parents were killed by a mysterious energy beam that came from the sky. She later discovers, to her own horror, that she was the one who killed them in an attempt to prevent it from happening. She doesn't take it too well.

Reine later does this intentionally to Shido in Volume 4/episode 10 to calm him down when he starts freaking out and asking a lot of questions about what happened in the last day or so.

Breaking the Fourth Wall: In Episode 2, when the then-unnamed Tohka asks Shido to give her a name, Ratatoskr ends up suggesting "Tome". Tohka responds by firing at him and muttering that she gets the impression that she's being mocked. Shido mentally apologizes to all the Tomes in the world as he notes that the name is outdated, while scrolling text at the top of the screen insists that Shido's opinion on the name does not represent that of the anime staff.

In Medias Res: Each volume arc's prologue chapter tends to start with a latter scene which will inevitably make the reader confused. For example, Volume 5's prologue consists of the Yamai twins making advances at Shido despite not being formally introduced yet. The anime averts this and opts for a straightforward chronology.

Volume 18 has The First Spirit Mio hunting down and murdering all the Spirits with frightening ease to retrieve their Sephira Crystals, ultimately intending to cause a Death of Personality to Shido so she can have Shinji back. Tohka manages to revive herself stronger than ever and actually put up a fight until Mio uses her third angel Ain to just erase Tohka completely. Just when all hope seems lost, a clone of Kurumi sent into the future arrives to remind Shido that he still has her Sixth Bullet Vav sealed, giving him an opportunity to Set Right What Once Went Wrong.

Kurumi gets led into an alleyway by three thugs (more like she led them in, though) and... we see a truck run over a can of tomato juice. Similarly, when Mana kills Kurumi, the entire scene is covered in heavy shadows (and she wears red and black) so nothing is really visible before the camera cuts to a reaction shot of Shido watching.

Older Than They Look: Reine looks really young for someone who's more than 30 years old. Then again, her most noticeable features would be her baggy and sleepy eyes. Her true identity, Takamiya Mio, looks even younger, since she is the First Spirit and was effectively The Ageless. Tamae as well, leading her students to call her Tama-chan despite being a 29-year old teacher and a Christmas Cake to boot.

They are incredibly powerful and borderline indestructible but lost their memories (except humans that are given power by the Phantom spirit), are hunted just for existing and have no friends, human contact or chance at a normal life. Ratatoskr and Shido try to change this.

Tohka and Shido's suitcase in episode 1 of season 2, when due to watching a soap opera, thinks he's secretly getting tired of her and is leaving her for Origami. The latter playing up that part doesn't help matters either, and Shido has to reassure her the suitcase was for their field trip next week and the lock was broken on it, and that he was taking it to get it fixed. And that he is definitely not leaving or getting tired of her.

Dies Wide Open: Shido at the end of his first date with Tohka after Taking the Bullet from Origami. Tohka closes his eyes and covers him with her jacket before flying into a Roaring Rampage of Revenge. Turns out that he wasn’t actually dead. Later on, Mio bursts out of Kurumi’s chest and takes the time to close her eyes after she dies in agony.

Your Princess Is in Another Castle!: It's revealed at the end of Volume 7 that she was trying to find the Second Spirit, who was supposedly imprisoned by the DEM, and was the only one who knew where the First Spirit (her actual target) was. She offered help to Shido in the hopes of finding the Second Spirit in the place where Tohka was imprisoned, but the Second Spirit was actually imprisoned elsewhere. At least she got a pat on the head from Shido.

Split Personality: Kotori has one although it's more of her switching personalities more than anything else really. The best way to figure it out would be that she would be the nice little sister with her white ribbons, while she would be the sadistic commander if she's wearing her black ribbons.She has a third one when her 'Efreet' Spirit powers return. Yoshino has one as well (her puppet Yoshinon is the outspoken fellow while Yoshino herself is a shy girl).

Actor Allusion: Kaguya Yamai's colorful language is literally what would happen if Rikka Takanashi took further lessons from the Dark Flame Master. Ayana Taketatsu voices yet another annoying younger sister who is far more than she appears and basically plays a real-life galge. Kirino, is that you? Iori Nomizu voices a character based around rabbits. She doesn't randomly use 'Yes' this time around though. This isn't the first time Ryotaro Okiayu played a white haired man who owns a company.

Is It Something You Eat?: In Episode 7 of Season 1 of the anime, Mana and Kotori are having an argument about Shido. They mention various things, which confuses Tohka and Yoshino. They think the two girls are talking about rice, and Yoshinon then mentions something about mixing the two together in a bowl to eat, and Tohka innocently asks Shido to put Kotori and Mana together. He immediately asks if she's trying to make him into a criminal. Tohka in general will be prone to asking this, mainly because she's a Fish out of Water. Also overlaps with Big Eater and Extreme Omnivore.

Powered Armor
 Date A Live / int_3d59c9a0
comment
Powered Armor: The wiring suits the AST wear are effectively this, although the protective value comes from the Realizer fields rather than physical armor. Which makes sense in that spirit attacks that bounce off their fields will still cause massive scenery damage, so physcial armor would be bulkier and harder to move while providing little additional protection. This actually becomes a plot point with Yoshino's blizzard dome which freezes the AST's defensive fields if they are on and pummels them with ice if they turn them off. Origami destroyed part of a building such that it would topple onto the dome to weaken it.

Curb-Stomp Battle

Curb-Stomp Battle: Spirits versus, well anything that's not a Spirit really. Unless it's a very powerful Wizard from the DEM who can fight as well as them, if not better. Like Ellen. Kotori delivers one to Kurumi in episode 10. She also likely would have killed her had Shido not stopped her at the last second. In episode 4 of season 2, Kyouhei is so cunning during the fight with the DEM ship that the latter is unable to land any direct hits on them after their first sneak attack. He also utilizes his abilities to damage their ship and force them to retreat. Tohka suffers one as well against Ellen, who easily defeats her and was about to kidnap her right in front of Shido. Until he has a Traumatic Superpower Awakening and summons Sandalphon, Tohka's sword. Bailey suffers one from Mana in episode 7 of season 2. The latter uses the Fraxinus's Wave-Motion Gun to destroy the former's bandersnatch androids, and then defeats Bailey in about five seconds. After Mana knocks her out, she tosses her back to Bailey's underlings, who then flee the scene.

Mind-Control Music: Miku uses this on the audience in episode 7 of season 2 after losing to Shido in the contest they bet on. Unfortunately her hypno music also turns Yoshino, the Yamai girls, and even Kotori and much of her crew against him as well. Only Tohka seems unaffected, though it's because her ears were plugged up with the ear pieces they were using to help them during the concert, so she couldn't hear the music Miku used on them. Reine, at least one other member of Ratatoskr, and Mana are also unaffected due to not being around the bridge when the music affected the other crewmembers. Meanwhile Kyouhei doesn't seem to be affected by it either, but for obvious reasons he doesn't stop Kotori from attempting to fire on the stage below while under Miku's influence.

Tastes Better Than It Looks: "The Seventh Spirit", the first episode of season 3, starts with all the girls of Shido's harem making a stew consisting of all of their favorite foods, such as fried chicken, an ice cream cone, and a lollipop. The result is a grotesque, bubbling blob radiating a sickeningly purple color. To almost everyone's surprise, though, when Shido tastes it... it's actually pretty good. Disbelievingly, some of the girls try it and find that the taste is surprisingly pleasant.

Elemental Powers: With the exception of Natsumi and Nia, most of the Spirits' powers are elemental-based. Yoshino: Water and Ice. Kurumi: Darkness and Time. Kotori: Fire. Yamai Twins: Wind. Miku: Sound (and by extension, Music). Origami: Light. Mukuro: Space. Tohka is a subversion. While she mostly controls just Mana itself, which is Non-Elemental by nature, she does summon Sandalphon's throne from the ground, and when her power begins to come back to her it usually results in earthquake like damage, so she may possibly have some Earth element powers through seismic waves.

Due to being out of options with his allies either brainwashed by Miku, or incapacitated, he's also forced to work with her in order to first get Miku out of his way, and later rescue Tohka. Miku intervenes when Shido gets bogged down while attempting to locate Tohka in episode 9 of season 2. With her help, he's able to locate Tohka much faster, though Miku claims she's just helping him because she wants Tohka's spirit powers as well.

Gory Discretion Shot: Used a fair bit in the anime, which seems to target a younger demographic than the light novels. While not a particularly violent series, basically nothing is shown. Blood splatters are basically it. The blood is red at least. Shido getting shot is basically a Freeze-Frame Bonus to even see his body falling, and he appears unhurt on the ground (after getting shot with the equivalent of an anti-tank round). Similarly, Shido appears unharmed after passing through Yoshino's "buckshot barrage" barrier; in the novel, he was unrecognizable until the Healing Factor kicked in. Kurumi gets led into an alleyway by three thugs (more like she led them in, though) and... we see a truck run over a can of tomato juice. Similarly, when Mana kills Kurumi, the entire scene is covered in heavy shadows (and she wears red and black) so nothing is really visible before the camera cuts to a reaction shot of Shido watching.

Break the Cutie: Happens to Tohka and Origami when they think Shido has been killed by the latter. Yoshino also. She created the Yoshinon personality to limit her own power so she wouldn't hurt anyone. And yet the AST still indiscriminately attack her. In fact Yoshino would easily have ended up like Kurumi if not for Yoshinon. Poor Miku. After she refused to sleep with a TV producer, false scandals about her popped up and ruined her Idol Singer career, and her fans (over 90% of them are males) turned against her. And on top of that, she lost her voice due to all the stress and pulled a Face–Heel Turn. For someone whose only talent was singing, it was as if she lost everything. No wonder she hates men so much.

Bag of Kidnapping: Possibly to keep her from trying to claw anyone else's eyes out, Shido used one on Natsumi to get her to her day of beauty, despite her being safely contained her the special housing unit for spirits at the time. Needless to say, she's not amused.

Disproportionate Retribution: The punishments Shido has to endure whenever he screws up in the training Ratatoskr gives him certainly qualify. When Kurumi sees four random guys shooting at a helpless kitten with airsoft guns, she decides to join in on the fun, but modifies the rules slightly. When Shido finds her later, it turns out her modified rules was to shoot the men with her magical gun.

Crazy-Prepared: Origami, in particular, her house. As in sentry guns are there to keep intruders out. Ratatoskr itself is this. They had plans ready in case the Spirit Tohka snuck past them to date Shido... which they didn't even think was possible. Murdoch out-crazy prepares them by having three satellites that he uses to Colony Drop one city just to take out Westcott. Though his plans failed, fans praise him for being that Crazy-Prepared for the situation.

All Your Powers Combined
 Date A Live / int_5288f02
comment
All Your Powers Combined: Volume 7 reveals that Shido can use some of the powers from the Spirits he kisses. Just like a certain protagonist. While Volume 4 implied it and Volume 5 confirmed it, Volume 7 outright shows him using multiple Angels at the same time, for the first time. Volume 12 takes this one step further by giving him complete control over all of the sealed Spirits' powers. Tohka's Full Form in the Mayuri Judgment movie is this, being the combined power of Tohka with all the spirits up to Miku, except Kurumi. Word of God even mentioned what additions the form would have had if Natsumi, Origami and Kurumi had lent her power to it.

Not What It Looks Like: Tohka and Shido's suitcase in episode 1 of season 2, when due to watching a soap opera, thinks he's secretly getting tired of her and is leaving her for Origami. The latter playing up that part doesn't help matters either, and Shido has to reassure her the suitcase was for their field trip next week and the lock was broken on it, and that he was taking it to get it fixed. And that he is definitely not leaving or getting tired of her. In episode 4 of season 2, after he inadvertently seals Yuzuru and Kaguya (due to them kissing him at the same time with his eyes closed), both girls lose their spirit outfits, go completely naked, and then make it sound like he was a pervert to Tohka. The latter doesn't take it too well.

Shido is coerced into doing this when he learns that its the only option the humans have against Spirits, aside from shooting them or letting them kill more people by accident. In Volume 5, this is also what he does to the Yamai twins by letting them both live on, instead of just one of them.

Torso with a View: In Episode 3 of the anime, when Shido takes the bullet, we briefly see Tohka's face through the big hole that opens up in him as he collapses. Happens to a random guy who was torturing a small kitten. Kurumi sees four men shooting at the kitten with airsoft guns, and she repays the favor to them by blasting them with a real gun. Shown more clearly in the anime, where the camera pans behind the unfortunate victim as she blasts holes in him.

Similarly, the second season's opening doesn't shy away from revealing Kotori's Spirit form from the get-go (doubles as Late-Arrival Spoiler), although the Yamai sisters and Miku's faces are not clearly shown. The same opening features the appearance of Isaac Westcott and Ellen Mira Mathers, the emerging villains of later volumes. Finally, the ending gives us a full shot of Tohka's Inverse Form, who only makes her formal introduction in the final episode.

Sequel Hook: At the end of Episode 12 of Season 1, Tohka asks Shido for a kiss. Although they're being spied on by the Ratatoskr, he follows through with it...only to end up kissing Yoshinon instead, who then, along with Yoshino, says "to be continued...sometime." Right after that, Season 2 was announced. Episode 10 of Season 2 takes a different approach; after the climax is over, we are treated to Kurumi musing that her target isn't present, before fading away into the shadows. The last portion is dedicated to the resolution of Miku's case, but then a movie adaptation of Date A Live was announced.

Shido getting shot is basically a Freeze-Frame Bonus to even see his body falling, and he appears unhurt on the ground (after getting shot with the equivalent of an anti-tank round). Similarly, Shido appears unharmed after passing through Yoshino's "buckshot barrage" barrier; in the novel, he was unrecognizable until the Healing Factor kicked in.

In Reine's case, it was a delayed Spit Take (she had to take a drink first). Shido does it in episode 8 of the anime when he sees Tohka running outside looking for him while he's on a date with Origami. (And Tohka. And Kurumi.)

Brought Down to Normal
 Date A Live / int_66ea7e5c
comment
Brought Down to Normal: The premise of the series. If Shido has a good relationship with the main Spirit that is introduced, then he can induce this to her via kissing her. Why he can do this is unknown at this time. Can't Stay Normal: Type 2. Every volume brings a new threat that can't be thwarted without their powers. Nerf: What happens when they do use their powers after having them sealed. Specifically, they seem to have a partially powered state where they are weaker and get a sort of partial Astral Dress. The difference being that their powers will flow back to Shido when they calm down, while if they take back all their power Shido has to kiss them again. We've only seen it with Tohka, who gets the skirt of her Astral Dress combined with her school uniform. However, Tohka duels Origami's AST squad without a problem in the low power state. Later, she gets owned by Ellen in the same mode however.

Serious Business: Ratatoskr takes Shido's dates with girls very seriously. Since it's to save the world... In episode 6 of season 1, while Kotori is out, the Fraxinus crew vote to put all sorts of things in the way of the AST in order to prevent them from seeing Shido and the girls, even though neither group was aware of the other. They end up doing a lot of things to hinder the AST's progress, such as destroying a bridge, passing cows in front to block a road, and putting up a wall. Ryouko eventually gets sick of all this and starts blasting all of the traps put in their way, though it doesn't help them much.

Godzilla Threshold: The appearance of a spirit warrants this, though the different human organizations have different ways of handling said spirits: The AST/DEM Wizards attempt to kill the Spirits, usually by shooting them. For the most part though, it doesn't seem very effective, at least when shown on screen. The Ratatoskr organization, on the other hand, utilizes a more unconventional method; have Shido talk to the Spirits, take them out on dates, and seal their powers with a kiss. As evidenced by Tohka, Yoshino, and Kotori, this seems to have a better success rate, though it's not always easy for them either, particularly because the AST gets involved regardless.

Unwinnable Training Simulation: During Shidou's date training, he's given a time limit to make his galge choice, but is stuck making poor ones because of the nature of the options, and he gets punished for making them. When he wants Kotori show him better, she waits out the time limit, citing all the options as bad. "Waiting out the timer" never works in his real dates and his backup insists he follows through with their poorly-worded options despite his complaints.

In episode 5 of season 2, Shido has to cross-dress as a girl to approach Miku, who Does Not Like Men. While he fools the trio of girls Ai, Mai, and Mii, Tohka asks him what he's doing. When he tells her he has a reason for this and asks her to play along, she agrees, and says how nice it is to meet this woman who is totally not Shido. Origami isn't fooled either, but takes lots of pictures.

Food as Bribe: When Reine tells Shido in episode 12 that Kotori's feelings for him were already at max level, Kotori claims it must have been a fluke. When Reine tries to clarify that it isn't, Kotori then points at her and mentions a dessert. Reine immediately claims the numbers must have been an error.

Poor Miku. After she refused to sleep with a TV producer, false scandals about her popped up and ruined her Idol Singer career, and her fans (over 90% of them are males) turned against her. And on top of that, she lost her voice due to all the stress and pulled a Face–Heel Turn. For someone whose only talent was singing, it was as if she lost everything. No wonder she hates men so much.

Bullying a Dragon: Basically, the AST's mission. The Non-Lethal Warfare helps them get away with it, but aside from the very strongest Wizards, they're in trouble if a Spirit decides to get serious. And the more realistic ones know it. Even the Wizards handpicked by DEM wasn't immune to this either, as Ellen would attest in Volume 9.

Nice Job Breaking It, Hero!

Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: In episode 6 of the first season, while traveling to the hot springs, Tohka gets upset that Shido is too far away to pet her head like he's doing for Yoshino. He says it's her fault for wanting to sit up front while he's stuck in the back. She then pouts some more and stomps her feet so hard she breaks the floor of the van and damages the bridge they were driving on as well. This also inadvertently stops the train the AST team was using to get to the hot springs, and forces everyone to go the rest of the way on foot. In episode 1 of season 2, Shido attempts to buy some kinako bread for Tohka to make her happy again after she suspected him of cheating on her with Origami. Unfortunately they can't find any, causing Kotori to wonder why they just happened to be all out of that particular bread in every bakery. Kyouhei then walks into the bridge with a large bag of kinako bread, stating he bought all of it to ensure they have enough to give to Tohka, but inadvertently caused the problem because of it.

Flawed Prototype: Originally, the Sephira Crystals, the artifacts that empower the Spirits, were so unstable they killed their hosts. As seen from Kotori's example, Sephira Crystals can be toxic to the host's body, and can even induce madness. As a result, Mio Takamiya stated that they need to be further refined by killing the initial host and then transplanting the gem into another host. Doing so, would ensure that the Sephira Crystals will come closer to completion and resolve the negative drawbacks. For example, Camael, Kotori's Angel, originally belonged to Sawa Yamada, Kurumi's friend.

Instead of warning her before she enters the room, he decides to just dive down as long as he can, having to resurface right in front of Tohka, who freaks out and nearly drowns him.

Timey-Wimey Ball: After the events of the Stable Time Loop are fulfilled, Kurumi (in the present) and Shidou (in the past) seem at a loss for what they can do. Then, a Shidou from eleven minutes into Shidou's future appears to Kurumi and gives her an idea that she relays to Shidou in the past. Shidou finds past Kurumi and gets sent back in time again. Despite his efforts during this second chance, he runs out of options and decides the only course of action is to shove Origami's parents out of the way of the energy blast that would kill them. He succeeds in doing that but is hit by it instead. At this point, he's stepping on his own timeline - once, by saving Origami's parents in a way that interferes with him saving a younger Origami from a collapsing building in a few seconds; and, twice, by never being the Shidou who returns to the present Kurumi to inspire her about going back in time a second time (for reasons of it not being necessary anymore and for reasons of being dead). There's also the issues with explaining to past Kurumi about her sending Origami back into the past short-circuiting nothing about the situation. Despite all this paradox, upon saving Origami's parents, a new timeline "starts" a day after Origami's non-existent rampage where the only major difference was her situation, e.g., not knowing who Shidou was, not going to his school, and having a much more level personality. Shidou and Kurumi are the only people who remember anything about the original timeline. Origami, however, retains her inverse Spirit as a split personality that also remembers the original timeline and goes on laser-guided rampages whenever it sees other Spirits. This also proves interesting in that the events in which the spirits are captured in the new timeline seems to mostly follow the old timeline even without Origami's presence in the events in the new timeline, even though in the old timeline she proves pivotial in multiple situations like attacking Kotori during the water park date or delaying AST and DEM attacks during the school festival that would eventually leading to Tohka being captured and inversing, thus you would have thought that things would have changed considerably there.

Wham Episode

comment
Wham Episode: Volume 1. When Origami takes a shot at Tohka, but Shido pushes her out of the way, just in time to get shot instead. What was supposed to be a light-hearted episode suddenly does a Mood Whiplash at that moment. Actually subverted because he gets better due to his Healing Factor. Volume 3's Kurumi arc plays this straight since she's the first Spirit whose powers Shido fails to seal. Volume 7, which was the second half of Miku's arc, was this due to the introduction of Inverse Form. Volumes 10 and 11 was a major hit considering that it finally got around to the Origami arc that's been hinted at since the first Volume. To start, Origami was forced into becoming one of the Spirits that she has always hated. She then teams up with Kurumi to go back in time in order to kill the Spirit that murdered her parents...only to realize that the Spirit attack that killed her parents had actually come from Origami herself during a skirmish with Phantom. Of course, the revelation that Origami had killed her own parents instantly causes her to go Inverse once she returned to the current day. The subsequent destructive rampage that her Inverse form went on was so great that it forced Shido and Kurumi to team up in order to prevent this from happening in the first place. However, Shido's first attempt reveals that his actions not only led to the events that would cause Origami to time travel in the first place, and then inverse afterwards, it made him realize that he had just perpetuated a Stable Time Loop. It took a second attempt, in which Shido was able to save Origami's parents from being hit at the last second, to break this time loop, which ended up creating a new timeline. Volume 13 was another major one as it resulted in the loss of a Spirit crystal to the enemy. During Shido's attempt to seal Nia, DEM interrupts at the last second, and forces her to go Inverse Form by jogging her memory of the endless torture DEM had performed on her. Amidst the confusion, Artemisia ends up removing her Inversed Qlipha Crystal, and gives said crystal to Isaac, who absorbs it. As a result, not only does Isaac now have Spiritual Power, him, Ellen, and Artemisia now have knowledge of the previous timeline. The volume also ends with Nia's positing the theory that all the Spirits, including those that were believed to be pure, were human at some point, something that is proven right in Volume 15 by Inverse Tohka, though in a bit of pure irony, Volume 18 reveals that Tohka herself is a actually a pure Spirit, much like the extracanonical spirits (Rinne, Rio, Maria, Marina, and Mayuri), and the First Spirit herself. As the title of Volume 18 will tell you, the whole volume is this. Mio have finally revealed herself and her intention to restore Shinji Takamiya as her eternal lover by killing Kurumi first and foremost, then proceeds to tear apart virtually all opposition, including Shido's entire harem, and ended up killing all of them with incredible ease. It was barely averted by Shido using Zafkiel to rewind time to the day before. As if Volume 18 wasn't WHAM enough, Volume 19 top that as Mio blows herself in a Heroic Sacrifice to put an end to Westcott. Tohka then takes possession Mio's Sephira Crystal.

Cry Cute: Kotori after having to see Shido almost die again thanks to crossing a five meter barrier that would kill anyone approaching it. Interestingly enough, she didn't react at all the first time...note If Shido used his Healing Factor while crossing said barrier, he would be instantly frozen, so to cross the barrier to get to Yoshino he couldn't use his power, meaning he had a real chance of getting Killed Off for Real. Yoshino after Shido manages to get through said barrier to hand her Yoshinon. Kaguya and Yuzuru in episode 4 after Shido helps them to realize they're not that different.

AST vs Spirits. Justified in that the Spirits are Nigh-Invulnerable, so they don't feel all that threatened and so don't fight back seriously either. Medical Realizers heal most injuries that happen fairly quickly (Origami mentions getting a broken arm healed overnight) This removes most of the consequences of the Child Soldiers. The AST members seem to be generally sane and well adjusted, or at least, their issues don't come from fighting.

Arc Number: The number thirty appears quite a bit in this series. The first spacequake occurred thirty years prior to the story's setting, along with the First Spirit's appearance. Reine claims she hasn't slept in thirty years, though she herself looks no older than her late twenties. Westcott is said to have had a fallout with Woodman thirty years ago. Just like Reine, his age is not disclosed, despite his Bishōnen looks.

Take a Third Option
 Date A Live / int_950bbfa7
comment
Take a Third Option: Shido is coerced into doing this when he learns that its the only option the humans have against Spirits, aside from shooting them or letting them kill more people by accident. In Volume 5, this is also what he does to the Yamai twins by letting them both live on, instead of just one of them. When he first tries talking to Tohka at school in episode 2, many of the suggestions Kotori gives him don't seem to work very well. So Shido ends up just asking her questions and answering Tohka's questions, which seems to work a lot better overall. He does manage to convince her to go on a date and show her that not every human is out to get her. Also what Origami tried against the blizzard dome Yoshino set up. It would have worked if not for Tohka's intervention. During his date with Kotori in episode 11, all of the options he's given seems to go bad, and Kotori doesn't seem like she's having too much fun. So he then decides to throw away the earpiece used to communicate with the Ratatoskr, and instead just takes her out to an amusement park, which seems to work a lot better.

Strike Me Down with All of Your Hatred!: Played straight but it's Shido who invokes this towards Origami. He then tells her that since she thinks it's Efreet who killed her parents, and that Shido currently has Efreet's powers thanks to him sealing Kotori, he goads her into killing him if that's what it takes to satisfy Origami's revenge. Origami doesn't go through with it.

Big Bad: Sir Isaac Ray Peram Wescott, managing director of Deus Ex Machina Industries, and creator of the Spirits who caused the war between them and mankind. He plans to use their power to become a god and create a new world in his image, purely For the Evulz. While he was relatively out of the picture for the first four volumes or so (the entirety of the anime's first season minus his involvement with Mana and Origami's new weapons), once he makes his appearance, it's made clear that he harbours ill intent towards the Spirits, and slowly overrides the story's initial Excuse Plot.

Deus Ex Machina (DEM) Industries, a corporation based in England, and the company that makes the Realizers. In Volume 5, DEM's managing director (Westcott) gets Origami's punishment for borrowing a prototype without permission changed from "dishonorable discharge" to "2 months house arrest", which means she is basically taken off from active duty and given a vacation. They also get the school's field trip changed to a small, isolated island as part of their plan to kidnap Tohka.

Chick Magnet: It's Shido's job description. Ironically, he's fairly bad at it. Kotori says this when Tohka appears asks Shido to take her on the date he asked for and Kotori and Reine happen to see them together in a restaurant. Then again, considering how quickly he got Tohka to warm up to him, and what he did for Miku in Volume 7, considering that she gave him much more help than he gave her, he may actually be much more competent in this department than Kotori claims he is.

Creature-Hunter Organization: Played With, The Amazon Brigade Anti-Spirit Team is tasked of fighting the Spirits, Person of Mass Destruction that has been causing phenomena called Spacequakes— which are "earth" quakes IN SPACEnote actually just quakes not occuring on the ground but on the atmosphere.. The thing is, they are horribly ineffective at fighting the spirits (except for the two elites among them, who are One Women Armies) since the spirits have powerful Deflector Shields. This trope is subverted in two ways: One, the spirits are sentient and can be reasoned with. They can also have their powers sealed, reducing them to normal humans. So there really isn't much reason fighting them (unless they're psychos). Two, the AST has their rival organization: Ratatorsk, who decided to have someone date these spirits to submission, since they conveniently all happen to be girls. This is because their leader is also sort of one, and had her powers sealed as well.

She falls into a Heroic BSoD and doesn't even try to defend herself from the latter's Roaring Rampage of Revenge. Fortunately for both of them, he gets better. She has a bigger one when she travels to the past in season 3 and discovers she was the one who killed her parents in the first place, not Efreet or Phantom, as she previously believed. This causes her to go to her Inverse Form in the present.

Mega-Corp: Deus Ex Machina (DEM) Industries, a corporation based in England, and the company that makes the Realizers. In Volume 5, DEM's managing director (Westcott) gets Origami's punishment for borrowing a prototype without permission changed from "dishonorable discharge" to "2 months house arrest", which means she is basically taken off from active duty and given a vacation. They also get the school's field trip changed to a small, isolated island as part of their plan to kidnap Tohka. Asgard Electronics, the company backing Ratatoskr, may also fit here. It's implied that they were able to come up with fairly strong backgrounds for the sealed Spirits.

Underdogs Never Lose: In Miku's arc during season 2, she makes a bet with Shido. If his school wins the festival event, he could seal her powers. But if her school wins, he becomes her slave and gives the power of the spirits he's sealed so far to her. When episode 7 begins, Miku's school wins the concert portion. She then begins to taunt Shido. stating the reason he lost was because he relied too much on his friends. Then it turns out Shido's school was voted the most popular due to their maid cafe. Miku understandably doesn't take this well.

Selective Obliviousness: Shido claims he passed out shortly after Origami did in episode 10 while visiting her at the hospital. She then tells him that her parents died in a fire five years earlier caused by one of the spirits, which was also why she's a member of the AST and so intent on killing spirits. He just found out moments earlier that Kotori was a fire-based spirit, but chose not to say anything about it, particularly after her reveal.

Cycle of Revenge: Spirit shows up on Earth, a huge calamity happens in a particular area. The survivor of said calamity then wants revenge to the Spirit who killed that person's parents or loved ones. Spirit (may or may not have to be the same Spirit) then gets dragged on by the revenge of said person and tries to defend herself from attacks. In case you haven't noticed, this is how Origami deals with Spirits with Tohka and Yoshino just trying to defend themselves. Shido's journey in Volumes 11 is all about breaking it.

comment
12-Episode Anime: The first anime season. Seems to be doing 3 episodes per light novel. While fairly faithful to the novels, some details are omitted, probably for time reasons. Examples being the Realizer which powers the AST and Ratatoskr's tech the Fraxinus' Transporter, and even Kotori's Volume 1 reveal of Shido and her being Not Blood Siblings. Omission of the second can feel like a Plot Hole at times.

Double Standard: Abuse, Female on Male
 Date A Live / int_c0e3994b
comment
Double Standard: Abuse, Female on Male: Shido gets put through hell by Tohka at the beginning of Volume 2/Episode 4 of season 1, thanks to Kotori tricking him into several Accidental Pervert moments. The novels state that Shido came to school the next day as a Bandage Mummy. In Episode 7 of season 1, Mana introduces herself as Shido's younger sister. As she goes to hug him, Kotori roundhouse kicks him out of jealousy. Lampshaded by Shido: At the end of Volume 4/episode 12, Kotori asks if what Shido said to her was true earlier. He reaffirms that he loves her...as a sister, promptly her to deliver a flying kick to him in response. Earlier in the episode it also happens in some ImagineSpots Kyouhei has, where he imagines the scenarios Shido is in with Kotori where she beats him up for various things. Episode 3 of Season 2 starts with the Yamai sisters getting way too close for comfort with Shido in bed as part of their competition to seduce him. It reaches the point where they’re stripping him down and brushing off his frightened, tearful protests as whining.

Also, we see quite a lot of them in Volume 6-7 as Tengu's theme for the school festival, which Shido had to wear as well. Including a maid café. Nia wears a revealing maid outfit in Volume 13 to reward Shido for helping her manga work.

Shout-Out

comment
Shout-Out: When Kotori tries to wake Shido up, he tries to get her to go away by saying that unless she lets him sleep for another ten minutes, he's going to give her the tickle hell virus. Otherwise known as the T-Virus. In the anime, the first spacequake alarm has small buildings, trains and the like retracting into the ground for the obvious Neon Genesis Evangelion reference. The spacequakes themselves in the anime, when observed very closely, bear a striking resemblance to a Subspace Bomb going off. The poses Shido and Tohka make during their first encounter seem familiar. The original Mobile Suit Gundam is referenced several times, with Shido noting that red makes you three times faster and Kotori quoting Char's "Because he was a kid" line while wearing his sunglasses and drinking whiskey. Miku in general is one big shout out to one of Japan's most popular idol icons; Miku Hatsune. When Tohka goes to the arcade to relieve her stress at one point, take note of the first game she plays, straight down to the arrangements of the HUD elements, the Bushwacker cockpit and her imagination putting Origami in an Owens. Heck, the game pod she was in is similar to the ones that Kidō Senshi Gundam: Senjō no Kizuna uses. In episode 2 of season 4, one of the magazines on Nia's floor has the poster for Gekijōban Shōjo☆Kageki Revue Starlight on it. The fictional version of Shido says "He's just a passing-through high school student."

Harem-Powered: Shido can absorb the powers of any Spirits he romances with a kiss so they can have normal lives. Over time, he gains a measure of control over his powers and can develop rudimentary versions of the Spirits' magical weapons for his personal use. This is because the First Spirit resurrected Shido as a Half-Human Hybrid when he died before the events of the story. The collective powers of the Spirits were always meant to be Shido's and the First Spirit merely turned regular humans into Spirits as a way to perfect and refine those powers until Shido eventually obtained them.

Spoiler Opening

comment
Spoiler Opening: The anime's first season opening shows the first 3 Spirits, and there are also previews for each main girl. They all spoil Kurumi's left eye, which is a big hint as to what her powers are. The three girl silhouettes are also spoilers in themselves - Touka doesn't know very well what to do. Kotori is distant. Origami is lamenting. That's exactly how their personalities are. Similarly, the second season's opening doesn't shy away from revealing Kotori's Spirit form from the get-go (doubles as Late-Arrival Spoiler), although the Yamai sisters and Miku's faces are not clearly shown. The same opening features the appearance of Isaac Westcott and Ellen Mira Mathers, the emerging villains of later volumes. Finally, the ending gives us a full shot of Tohka's Inverse Form, who only makes her formal introduction in the final episode.

That Came Out Wrong: In the OVA, Tohka tells her classmates about the wonderful date Shido took her out on. At first they think it's sweet, until she mentions things such as hitting and being in ecstasy, making it sound like they had sex. The naked picture she took and gave him that he accidentally loses in the class only reinforces their suspicions. He tries to tell them they were only at an arcade, but they won't let him explain, forcing him to run out of the classroom.

In Spite of a Nail: During Volume 11 (season 3 in the anime), Shido successfully saves Origami's parents from their predicted deaths, creating a new timeline in the process. However, said parents still die a year later in an unrelated traffic accident, though this carries no ill change to Origami. While she still holds some hatred towards spirits, and joins the AST like her original counterpart, she fights not as an avenger, but as a protector, following the example of someone she believed to be Shido's older brother (in actuality, it was Shido himself) Taking the Bullet for her parents. Essentially, nothing of significance changes except Origami is not into Shido and hasn't met him before, and everything past her Face–Heel Turn doesn't happen..

Schmuck Bait: Shido sometimes feels that the responses he's given by Kotori and the others are meant to make him look foolish. As an example, in volume 1, when he first runs into Tohka at school, she asks who he is. One of the answers is simply him giving his name, but they choose to make him pick the third choice, which was to tell her she should give her name before asking for his. He's reluctant to, but Kotori forces him to say it. And when he does, Tohka responds by shooting some magic at him. Before he's tossed away he tells Kotori she sucks. He later just gives natural responses to her questions, which works better.

Hoist by His Own Petard: Shido tries to make Origami hate him in the OVA by attempting to make her do humiliating things such as changing into a school swimsuit with some dog ears and tail, then get on all fours. She promptly does that, stating there was a shop nearby and even uses his belt as a leash. He also tries to say he's a pervert, but she doesn't seem to lose interest despite all that, and unfortunately nothing seems to faze her. Kotori suggests he break up with her, only to accidentally say it to Tohka who was calling him at that exact moment. Tohka's mood drastically shifts, forcing him to focus attention on her, and when he says he doesn't hate her, he forgot he was also calling Origami at the same time, who also heard everything he told Tohka. In the end, his plan only ends up making Origami like him even more.

He hasn't favored any one of them either, although Tohka does seem to have a slight lead despite this as some characters have mentioned Shido loves her and there are even in-universe Shido/Tohka supporters. Then there's the fact how in Volume 15, Tohka is the only one who enters her Inverse Form again when Mukuro makes everyone forget Shido.

The Magic Goes Away: In Volume 20, Inverse Tohka (now named Tenka) reveals that she took Mio's Sephira Crystal at the end of the previous volume and created a parallel world with decelerated time because when the Crystal disappears, the other crystals Mio created will disappear as well. This means the Spirits will return to their previous state, which is ordinary humans for most of them, but for a Pure Magic Being like Tohka, nothing.

Fairy Tale Episode: "Fairy Tale" (episode 5 of season 4) has Shido and all of the sealed Spirits become fairy tale characters trapped in Beelzebub. They are as follows: Shido, for some reason, becomes one of The Three Little Pigs. The other two are conspicuously absent but the wolf is definitely present. The shy, sweet Yoshino becomes Little Red Riding Hood, again with the wolf present. Nia, being a manga artist, becomes the protagonist of her own manga series, Silver Bullet. the food obsessed Tohka becomes Momotarō, complete with kibi-dango, which she uses to calm the wolf. Kaguya and Yuzuru, being twins, become Hansel and Gretel, respectively. Fire spirit Kotori becomes The Little Match Girl, with some extra powers over perception. Natsumi, who could use her Angel to change the appearance of anyone and anything but those illusions can have break under certain circumstances, becomes Cinderella, and transforms back from her beautiful form to a dirt-covered version of her normal form when the clock strikes twelve. Miku, who had the power of her voice and is just happy with people hearing her sing (and, unrelatedly, harrassing Natsumi), becomes The Little Mermaid, though does not become human because she refuses to give up her voice. ...and, finally, Origami (who is shameless around Shido) becomes the emperor without clothes, with only her royal ermine cape protecting her dignity. She has to have it pointed out to her that she's stark naked under the cape.

Nerf: What happens when they do use their powers after having them sealed. Specifically, they seem to have a partially powered state where they are weaker and get a sort of partial Astral Dress. The difference being that their powers will flow back to Shido when they calm down, while if they take back all their power Shido has to kiss them again. We've only seen it with Tohka, who gets the skirt of her Astral Dress combined with her school uniform. However, Tohka duels Origami's AST squad without a problem in the low power state. Later, she gets owned by Ellen in the same mode however.

Suspiciously Specific Denial: In episode 6 of the first season, while enroute to the hot springs, Ryouko states that they're simply using the AST's special train on a routine maintenance mission to make sure that nothing is wrong with the rail or the car, while wearing civilian clothing and carrying gear for a hot springs visit. Origami also says that they have to be ready for anything, and is seen carrying around camera gear and other stuff not exactly suited for a military drill much like Ryouko. A short while later, they're stopped by a wall that the Fraxinus crew put up. Ryouko places some C4 on it, and orders her girls to turn around while she blows it up. She then claims that the wall simply collapsed on its own, with Origami agreeing. In episode 5 of season 2, Shido has to cross-dress as a girl to approach Miku, who Does Not Like Men. While he fools the trio of girls Ai, Mai, and Mii, Tohka asks him what he's doing. When he tells her he has a reason for this and asks her to play along, she agrees, and says how nice it is to meet this woman who is totally not Shido. Origami isn't fooled either, but takes lots of pictures.

Laser-Guided Amnesia

comment
Laser-Guided Amnesia: Endemic to the setting, with Shido and Kotori having significant holes in their past memories. Notably, the entity that gave Kotori her Efreet powers, Phantom, then proceeded to strip Shido and Kotori of their memories. While Kotori forgot only about the existence of said entity; Shido forgot a lot more. Most of the Spirits have no memories that they were once human and seem to have lost variable amounts of basic knowledge. Tohka seems to be the one that was hit the hardest by this, as she even doesn't has a name, creating a lot of Fish out of Water situations (she didn't know what a (animal) fish was either, or that they swim, for that matter. She thought they were only food and an aquarium was a restaurant). It's because Tohka is a pure Spirit and therefore had zero interaction with human world or even a name to begin with.

comment
Volumes 10 and 11 was a major hit considering that it finally got around to the Origami arc that's been hinted at since the first Volume. To start, Origami was forced into becoming one of the Spirits that she has always hated. She then teams up with Kurumi to go back in time in order to kill the Spirit that murdered her parents...only to realize that the Spirit attack that killed her parents had actually come from Origami herself during a skirmish with Phantom. Of course, the revelation that Origami had killed her own parents instantly causes her to go Inverse once she returned to the current day. The subsequent destructive rampage that her Inverse form went on was so great that it forced Shido and Kurumi to team up in order to prevent this from happening in the first place. However, Shido's first attempt reveals that his actions not only led to the events that would cause Origami to time travel in the first place, and then inverse afterwards, it made him realize that he had just perpetuated a Stable Time Loop. It took a second attempt, in which Shido was able to save Origami's parents from being hit at the last second, to break this time loop, which ended up creating a new timeline.

Efreet!Kotori saving Shido, Tohka, Origami, Mana, and a big chunk of the city from Kurumi at the end of Volume 3/episode 9. And easily defeating her, no less. Tohka and Yoshino do this again in Volume 4/episode 12, distracting Origami long enough for Shido to seal Kotori's Spirit powers. In Volume 7, we have Miku coming to Shido's rescue when he's trapped by some Wizards while trying to rescue Tohka. And later on, when Tohka loses control of herself and attacks them, Yoshino and the Yamai twins come to help.

Miku wins the singing contest, but Shido's school wins overall. Miku doesn't take this well. The Spirits decide to create a manga about their encounters with Shido to appeal to Nia, who says that she can only love 2D (fictional) characters. However, Nia refuses to read it unless they can prove its value by beating her in a sales competition. They tie, but Nia does them a service and reads it anyway, falling for him once she confirms that it's all true with Rasiel.

Kyouhei immediately suggests that line, and then when he gives his perverted reason, Kotori has him dragged out of there, and then says that very line. Shido immediately starts to ask Kurumi that (before he realized what he just asked her), and Kotori also realizes she was broadcasting to him.

Darkest Hour: Episode 7 of season 2/Chapter 5 of Volume 7. Tohka has been kidnapped by Ellen, and several of the other spirits that Shido sealed, as well as Kotori's crew have been brainwashed by Miku. Shido is at a complete loss as to how to solve this issue, until Kurumi shows up and offers him her help. Volume 18 has The First Spirit Mio hunting down and murdering all the Spirits with frightening ease to retrieve their Sephira Crystals, ultimately intending to cause a Death of Personality to Shido so she can have Shinji back. Tohka manages to revive herself stronger than ever and actually put up a fight until Mio uses her third angel Ain to just erase Tohka completely. Just when all hope seems lost, a clone of Kurumi sent into the future arrives to remind Shido that he still has her Sixth Bullet Vav sealed, giving him an opportunity to Set Right What Once Went Wrong.

Running Gag
 Date A Live / int_f9f2c33
comment
Running Gag: The Ai, Mai, and Mii trio. The first would always bring up a subject during a certain situation (usually geared towards Shido and his actions) with the second supporting the first's statement with her own opinion. The latter then concludes the entire subject with her signature catchphrase "Gross!". Later changed to "That's so lame!" in the second season of the anime as well as the English dub for the first season.

You Killed My Father
 Date A Live / int_fb6b207f
comment
You Killed My Father: Origami speaks puts the blame for her parent's death on Kotori while the latter is in her spirit form Efreeth in episode 12. Which turns out to be The Reveal as well, since it causes Kotori to back off long enough for Origami to take flight again and activate her weapons again. Only, Kotori was not the Spirit that killed Origami's parents... And then it turns out Origami herself killed her parents after thinking that Phantom was the one who did the deed. To say she went ballistic is an understatement.

Well-Intentioned Extremist: The AST. Kurumi also; the reason she killed over 10000 people was to accumulate enough power so that she could go back 30 years in time to kill the first Spirit that caused the spacequake 30 years ago.

Was Once a Man
 Date A Live / int_fdad625e
comment
Volume 13 was another major one as it resulted in the loss of a Spirit crystal to the enemy. During Shido's attempt to seal Nia, DEM interrupts at the last second, and forces her to go Inverse Form by jogging her memory of the endless torture DEM had performed on her. Amidst the confusion, Artemisia ends up removing her Inversed Qlipha Crystal, and gives said crystal to Isaac, who absorbs it. As a result, not only does Isaac now have Spiritual Power, him, Ellen, and Artemisia now have knowledge of the previous timeline. The volume also ends with Nia's positing the theory that all the Spirits, including those that were believed to be pure, were human at some point, something that is proven right in Volume 15 by Inverse Tohka, though in a bit of pure irony, Volume 18 reveals that Tohka herself is a actually a pure Spirit, much like the extracanonical spirits (Rinne, Rio, Maria, Marina, and Mayuri), and the First Spirit herself.

Exotic Eye Designs: Anyone with Spirit powers has whitened pupils. This of course includes Spirits themselves. Kurumi seems to be an exception at first, but when she uses Spirit powers it sometimes shows (albeit not in her left clock eye). The original Kurumi also has the white pupil all the time.

Talking Is a Free Action: During the Dating Sim choices Kotori gives her crew just 5 seconds to make their decisions, but after that the time taken for the crew to explain their choices and for Kotori to relay to Shido which option to choose both count.

Cut Short: The manga adaptation, although it's because of the health of the artist, rather than the usual reasons.
