Humanity Is Superior: The foundation of Kingdom of Eldant: humans are not as magical as elves or as industrious as dwarves, but humans are the best to rule. Therefore humans rule, and other races must be 'grateful' for being 2nd-class citizens under human governance.

Heroic BSoD: Shinichi doesn't take it well when he turns out to be an invader to Eldant society after all, even if unwittingly. He goes back to being a shut-in until Miusel breaks him out of it. In episode 8, Miusel doesn't take it very well when she hears that Shinichi is spending the night at the palace with Petralka. She ends up taking a long time making dinner, and when the others complain about it, they go into the kitchen only to find out she's stirring an empty pot, while asking them to just be a little more patient.

Does This Remind You of Anything?
 Outbreak Company / int_14ed6ab7
comment
Does This Remind You of Anything?: Moe is treated like a religion, with Shinichi as its chief of religious mission. When the Japanese 'Papacy' attempt to control Eldant through said religion and threaten Shinichi with assassination if he doesn't play along, Shinichi immediately propose to establish a native church to the queen. The entire thing plays out like the Catholic-Anglican split. Not to mention their plan to hook the Eldant Kingdom's population on anime and manga, and then demand labour and resources from them in exchange for keeping the imports going is very similar to a drug pusher/addict dependency.

Conditioned to Accept Horror: At least Miusel and Bluk are. When Shinichi accidentally started hitting Bluk in a panic, Bluk just said the attacks were weak, as he had scales to protect himself, and offers Shinchi a stick to hit him with. When Miusel finds out, she was much more worried about Shinichi's knuckles bleeding than she was about Shinichi's reason for punching Bluk. It turns out that masters beating their servants was a common occurrence in their world, and thus they accept it accordingly.

Wrong Genre Savvy
 Outbreak Company / int_20a14df0
comment
Wrong Genre Savvy: Shinichi initially thinks Eldant is your typically fairy tale kingdom where everyone lives happily and class issues are minor. Nope. Concepts like human rights and equality are not only alien to their culture, but downright offensive. Beating a servant is absolutely normal, and the servant can't do anything about it. Being suspected of being a spy makes you guilty, even if you were an Unwitting Pawn. Showing you're better than the nobility at something, or interrupting them during a personal moment, can get someone discharged, beaten or executed.

Brutal Honesty: Shinichi has trouble keeping his thoughts to himself. It nearly gets him killed twice in episode 2. In Episode 11 Matoba straight up tells Shinichi that he is an unwitting pawn in the Japanese government's plan to conquer Eldant. He also tells Shinichi why he was chosen for the role in the first place; not because of his love of Otaku culture, but because no one in Japan will miss him or care if he disappears forever.

comment
Genre Blindness: Though Shinichi recognizes a lot of anime/manga tropes, he never seems to catch on that he's surrounded by girls like the main character of a harem series. Petrarca even calls him out on it at least once, but Shinichi never catches onto her seemingly Clingy Jealous Girl status. He's actually aware of this too but is playing dumb because he has been dumped in the past for being an otaku, thus subverting this trope.

comment
Captain Ersatz: No character in particular, but every manga, light novels, and whatnot are clearly meant to be something that is published in Real Life. In episode 2, Petrarca is trying to read Gaishi. Later in the episode, Shinichi is reading Attack on Titanic Godsnote Shingeki no Kyoshin, AKA Attack On Titan for Petrarca, especially the part where Hannes tries to save Carla from being devoured by a Titan. In episode 3, Shinichi does a dramatic reading of Attack on Titanic Gods for the students in his school. It's the scene where Eren vows to kill all Titans. From the same episode, it's revealed that Shinichi is a big fan of Rental Madoka and honors the birthday of the eponymous Magical Girl. The alarm he sets in his cellphone is pivotal in bluffing the terrorists later. The first part of episode 5 is essentially an homage to the history of dating sims. We have a parody of Princess Maker, Tokimeki Memorial, and Da Capo II, with the last one even directly parodying a scene introducing main heroine Yume. Later on in episode 5, we see a parody of Seitokai Yakuindomo called Seitokai Yakuintachi, and the heroine in question is called Shino as well. Episode 6 is centered around sports-based series like The Prince of Tennis, Inazuma Eleven, and Kuroko's Basketball.

Eyes Always Shut: Matoba. His eyes open once in the first episode, when Shinichi wants to call it quits on his new job and Matoba bluntly asks if he knows the way back. His dull gaze along with his soft chuckle is our first clue to his Affably Evil status. Opens again at the end of episode 11 when Shinichi openly defies him in front of Petrarca. At the start of episode 12, Japanese soldiers try to assassinate Shinichi in his sleep.

Evolving Credits: The first opening uses the same song, but has some slightly different scenes than the one shown later in the series. Some examples are Shinichi falling into the gate between Eldant and Japan versus simply showing it the first time, and still shots used of Miusel and Petralka near the end of the song, as opposed to a fully animated sequence.

Out of Focus: Played straight. Petrarca's involvement seems to have greatly diminished after the initial episodes. Episode 5 has her reduced to having a gag scene, and she's actually one of the main heroines. Justified in light of the recent terrorist attack on her life, which required her to tone down her public presence and prevented her from regularly visiting Shinichi's school.

Actor Allusion
 Outbreak Company / int_392372f9

Actor Allusion: Several. Both Miusel and Sherlock shares the same voice actor, Suzuko Mimori. Miusel wears a pink beanie hat and ermine cape as disguise when she goes to Akihabara in episode 8, gets a Sherlock plushie and watched Milky Holmes anime with Shinichi. Later, in episode 10, there's a shot of Miusel trying to tame a wild bear, which references episode 4 of Milky Holmes. Petrarca shares the same voice as Cure Rosetta. Guess what doujin Shinichi throws to distract the guards in episode 9? Later during the movie filming she does the rosette sign. Minori says "Gatcha!" in episodes 9 and 10. In her debut episode, Sumire Uesaka Elbia's favorite character is listed as Takanashi Yozora from Mama no Iu Koto wo Kikinasai. In episode 10, she's also playing Sora's character in the bits parodying Listen to me, girls. I am your father!. And in episode 11, she sings "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" in Gratuitous English, which everyone sang with Hina in one episode. Shinichi's indie movie in episode 10 has a scene where he's running around with a pair of scissors, saying that he needs to cut. And he's trying to use it in episode 12. Sadly it doesn't work.

Crapsaccharine World: Eldant looks like a gorgeous fantasy world, complete with magic and dragons and pretty girls. But it's a medieval fantasy world. Classism and Fantastic Racism are rampant, 80% of the people are illiterate, and it's perfectly fine for nobles to beat their servants. Shinichi tries to build an integrated school to teach Japanese, and it's nearly blown up by terrorists who hate the "lesser" races.

Flame War: An interesting version, Shinichi's students have taken this to real life. They argue what makes a game, the actual game or the figures that come with it. It goes to the point of them insulting each other.

Curb-Stomp Battle
 Outbreak Company / int_3d699462
comment
Curb-Stomp Battle: Interesting variation of this in episode 6's soccer game. The dwarves dominate the first half of the game. But then the second half is dominated largely by the elves once magic use is allowed. The Japanese military vs the giant dragon in episode 10. While the dragon did destroy some things they brought over initially, once they go on the attack, the dragon doesn't stand a chance, and is forced to flee. The soldiers who try to attack Shinichiin episode 12 absolutely gets stomped by Peltralka's elite troops. And when they try a more subtle attempt later, they fail yet again. It's only because Peltralka likes Shinichi that she didn't just kick all the Earthlings out of her kingdom.

Blatant Lies: When Shinichi wishes to bring Miusel back to Japan with him during a shopping trip, Matoba claims that Eldantians cannot breathe the air of Earth, and that their respiratory system will shut down immediately. However, nobody explains this to Miusel, who stows away in Shinichi's luggage and suffers no ill effects from Earth's atmosphere.

Stylistic Suck: Shinichi does this in episode 10 with a movie, after someone leaks the footage the Japanese soldiers shot of the soccer game during episode 6. He does this to fool people into thinking said footage was merely a fantasy movie the Japanese military was making, and deliberately infringes on many copyrights in order to get cease and desist letters from the companies that own those copyrights.

While they seem like your typical racist supremacist group and they claim to view Japan as nothing but invaders, only taking captive of a few nobodies in our world to make a statement, when Shinichi calls the leader out on their Fantastic Racism motives, the leader AGREES. At the same time, the terrorists want to maintain the status quo, and continue to see Shinichi as a threat.

Pragmatic Adaptation
 Outbreak Company / int_603f1a80
comment
Pragmatic Adaptation: The 12-Episode Anime adaptation follows the rough outline of the first 4 volumes of the series, but with many of the details changed. Most notably: Brooke was never a major character but here he's Demoted to Extra, with any hint of his backstory or connection to the lizardman Tribal Council being Adapted Out. His wife Cerise appears only as a cameo in the opening credits. By contrast Romilda and Loek receive extra focus. The Eldant soccer tournament from book 3 is compressed into a single Elves Versus Dwarves match between Shinichi's students. Petrarca's bout of ennui is concluded long before the movie filming; as a result Gallius has no opposition to the project, and even acts in it himself. The anime version of "Faldra" isn't a marionette dragon lifted by wyverns but rather a walking animatronic built by the JSDF, and is destroyed before it can be used. The Beach Episode draws loosely on material from book 7, while Myusel's trip to Japan is anime-original (though a similar event would happen in book 9, released after the anime's completion). Book 4's Sequel Hook is removed by having the attack on filming come from a wild dragon, rather than one under Bahairam control. Instead the anime's finale is the "Shinichi angers the Japanese government" storyline from book 2.

Cannot Spit It Out: Petrarca cannot seem to tell Shinichi that she likes him directly, instead opting for indirect approaches. Miusel suffers from this as well; she was content with her current situation until the appearance of Elbia. She also tends to drop hints that she has feelings for him that are deeper than a mere servant-master relationship but never outright tells him that.

And then totally forgetting to get said items when he goes back to Japan himself due to Miusel sneaking there with him.

comment
Because You Were Nice to Me / Single Woman Seeks Good Man: Hinted to be the reason why Miusel is quite dedicated to Shinichi despite starting to serve him only a short time ago, even asking him to take her back to Japan when he gets to return home one day. Also justifies Petrarca's attachment to him, because he treated her kindly without having any ulterior motives, so she didn't need to put a guard up around him. Miusel shows further examples of this, wishing her efforts to be acknowledged by Shinichi, even reiterating her desire for him to take her back to Japan when he gets the chance to return home. She doesn't mind if she can never come back to Eldant. Elbia also falls under this, as Shinichi manages to get her off the hook for being an unwitting enemy spy.

An Offer You Can't Refuse: Rare inverted, heroic example. In episode 12, Japan attempts to kill Shinichi after he attempts to stop their attempts at cultural warfare with Eldant. Both of their attempts fail, and after the second one Petralka threatens to cut off all diplomatic ties if the Japanese government attempted to kill him again, or hindered his work at introducing otaku culture to them. It seems to work, as Matoba later says that what Shinichi is doing may benefit them more in the long run, and for now at least, allows him to continue working without threatening his safety.

Despite this, he maintains an amicable tone and bears no ill will towards Shinichi until the end of the episode, when Shinichi decides to Take a Third Option. Just Following Orders: When attempts are made on Shinichi's life, Matoba seems to make empty excuses on behalf of Japan's government. However, he does help Shinichi goad the superior to threaten him within earshot of Petrarca, leaving the viewers to believe that despite Matoba's intentions, he ultimately falls under this trope.

Overshadowed by Awesome: During the filmmaking in episode 10, the Japanese govt builds a giant robot dragon, after attempting to use a real one failed. Unfortunately, a real dragon shows up, destroys the robot one, and proceeds to attack the characters. Gallius attempts to gather the Erdant soldiers to defend against the dragon, only to then be forced to stand around in awe as the Japanese Army, using modern human weaponry, delivers a Curb-Stomp Battle to said dragon, forcing it to flee.

comment
Wham Episode: Subverted in episode 3; Miusel appears to die, but the next-episode preview intentionally reveals her survival. And subverted again in the beginning of the next episode, in which Petrarca and the doctors seem to be mourning the loss of Miusel, but it turns out they were mourning the death of Petrarca's fish, Elizabeth. Episode 8 is a straight example. Gallius reveals that his parents murdered Petrarca's parents, and the former emperor (her grandfather) died from grief. Since Petrarca inherited the throne, Gallius's parents were presumably exiled or executed. Unusually for this sort of trope, Petrarca knows all of this, and her bossy tsundere attitude is apparently a facade to cover up how upset she is over this situation. Episode 11, full stop. Matoba finally makes clear that their spreading of otaku culture was nothing short of an invasion to allow the Japanese government to monopolize Eldant's resources.

You Have Outlived Your Usefulness: The Japanese government attempts to kill Shinichi after he throws a Spanner in the Works in their takeover plans by suggesting Eldant create their own work, rather than rely solely on the Japanese government giving them stuff. Fortunately for him, Petralka also realizes this, and helps protect his life.

Take a Third Option: In episode 11, Shinichi is forced to continue doing his job in spreading otaku culture, despite the Japanese government monopolizing the supply and manipulating Eldant society's demand into submission. If he does not, he'll be "replaced". What does he do? He gives Petrarca the idea that Eldant should make their own products, eliminating the need to rely on the Japanese government for their products.

Elves Versus Dwarves: Even though they are both oppressed by humans, elves and dwarves don't get along with each others. This causes some problems in the desegregated school. This even applies to their favored aspects of moe. The elves love the delicate mastery of the narratives, while the dwarves love the craftsmanship that goes into character figurines. Heated debate ensues.

Mood Whiplash: A rather dramatic one happens in episode 3. It goes from being a light hearted comedy with some romance thrown in, and switches gears abruptly when some terrorists infiltrate the school Shinichi had built, with plans to kill him and blow it up. We have a fun-filled episode 7, with lots of gags and cute moments from Miusel... then the tension drops to zero almost immediately when Petrarca trudges off depressed because she couldn't meet Shinichi.

Happiness in Slavery: Non-human races have no concept of personal rights, so being treated pretty badly by humans and being forced to serve in the army for any social mobility is normal to them. Shinichi hopes he can get rid of this by treating everyone equally, but this riles the feathers of some extremist humans.

Chekhov's Skill: Miusel's startlingly quick mastery in speaking Japanese turns out to be the reason the group was able to uncover the plot of the insurgents, as she manages to act as a translator while their translator rings are off, with their enemies none the wiser. She goes from awkwardly able to speak the language to being quite fluent in just twenty days. In episode 7, because the rings have no effect outside of Eldant, she is shown to speak Japanese fluently enough that the ring isn't necessary.

Averted in the final volume of the Light Novel, where he returns to Japan with Miusel in tow as his new girlfriend.

The Ace: Miusel has been said and proven to be exceptional in her ability to use magic. She is also very competent at housework and absorbs the Japanese language at an exceptional pace. In episode 7, she learns how to make omelet rice - complete with a character drawing using ketchup - after seeing it just once at Akihabara. Petrarca has also been shown to have quickly grasped the Japanese language, easily reciting a tongue twister (twice, no less) without the help of her ring.

Hypocritical Humor: Minori claims Shinichi is teaching the students terms that are too high in level, and suggests she take over for a while. She then proceeds to teach the class BL terms. A group of dwarves appeared to stop some of their classmates from arguing heatedly about Dating Sims, only to declare that they should be debating the relative merits of young girls. Slightly justified since dwarf females remain this size for life.

Translator Microbes: Come in the form of rings that enable its wearers to understand and speak Eldantian. It's a telepathy-based magical artifact and doesn't work on recordings or if speaker and listener both aren't wearing a ring. For this reason, when the diplomatic mission need to discuss sensitive matters, they simply take off the rings. The only kingdom citizen who can 'talk' to Shinichi without rings is Miusel, who learned Japanese kana from him. She's, in fact, become so fluent in Japanese that she was able to spend a whole day in Japan without much trouble aside from some cultural issues.

However, she quickly points out the many things he's done to help bring Eldant society closer than ever before, and tells him to never say being there was a bad thing.

Self-Deprecation: Done at the start of episode 7 when Shinichi outright calls the director of a Minami-ke Okaeri parody "terrible". The director of its real counterpart also directed this anime. It gets even more hilarious when you consider that Okaeri was actually well-received, compared to the previous season, which was widely regarded as awful. Brick Joke: The director gets his payback by removing Miusel's lewd scenes with Shinichi in the episode, as revealed in the next episode preview.

Cope by Creating: A while after the werewolf Elbia joins the protagonists as their group artist, she starts hiding away in her room, drawing non-stop while avoiding food, sleep, and baths. Shinichi confronts Elbia over this, fearful that he's turned her into a hikikomori. Instead she explains that short-term obsessive episodes are considered perfectly normal for werewolves, who had to find more socially acceptable ways of channeling their hunting instincts after they were integrated into human society. The Animated Adaptation, however, isn't an example - Elbia is shown losing sleep, but it's treated at face value as Shinichi getting her addicted to Japanese art (in general, the adaptation drops out a lot of the novels' racist themes in order to focus more on its allegories for the British opium trade).

You Can't Go Home Again: Even if Shinichi wants to, the location of the rift to Japan is not disclosed to him. If he is ever allowed to go back to Japan, he has to get drugged willingly before the special forces bring him back to his home.

Reasonable Authority Figure
 Outbreak Company / int_dca70c44
comment
Reasonable Authority Figure: Petrarca occasionally comes off as a Royal Brat, but is quick to cite when a ruler should be merciful with her subjects. After Miusel nearly sacrificed herself to save her, she even completely drops her previous Fantastic Racism towards her. Later on she spares Elbia and allows her to work for Shinichi as an artist. All things considered, Matoba is a very reasonable boss for Shinichi. After the terrorist incident, Shinichi wonders whether he's actually an invader and that the ultra-nationalists are right. Matoba reassures Shinichi that he is not, as long as he doesn't hold the invader mindset.

Just Following Orders: When attempts are made on Shinichi's life, Matoba seems to make empty excuses on behalf of Japan's government. However, he does help Shinichi goad the superior to threaten him within earshot of Petrarca, leaving the viewers to believe that despite Matoba's intentions, he ultimately falls under this trope.

Assassin Outclassin': Due to Shinichi throwing a Spanner in the Works of Japan's attempt to takeover Eldant using cultural warfare, they attempt to kill him at least twice in episode 12. Fortunately for him, Petralka realized this, so she put her elite guard, which consisted of her maids, to protect him. They even used ice magic to conceal themselves from the soldiers' thermal scans.

Ambiguously Gay: Garius. He blushes when Minori says he would be the uke in Shinichi x Garius pairing. He borrows a BL book from Minori later on and claims he doesn't "bat for both teams". After Petrarca eats rice off of Shinichi's face, he follows suit. Though this could be because he simply doesn't understand the implications.

NEET: After he was rejected by a girl for being an otaku, Shinichi spent some time being one. He already got over it, though. Petrarca decides to become one after being over stressed with all of her work. Shinichi helps her go full NEET, but later shows to her that her staff members are worried about her and his own history as a NEET to snap her out of it.

Never Learned to Read: Played straight for the demi-humans in the other world. Only nobility get to learn to read and write, and they're all humans. Later subverted when Shinichi sets up a school for them and starts to teach them how to do so. Played straight and subverted in the case of Miusel. She can read, write, and speak Japanese thanks to Shinichi's guidance, but apart from being able to speak Eldantian, she is unable to read or write in her native language.

Younger Than They Look: Male dwarves are this trope to eleven. At age ten, they have full beards and some of them even have male pattern baldness. The anime even lampshades, when we see a male dwarf, there is a caption saying age 10. However, this is apparently averted for female dwarves like Romilda. Female dwarves, on the other hand, are Older Than They Look eternal young girls!

Clingy Jealous Girl
 Outbreak Company / int_eb5b71fe
comment
Clingy Jealous Girl: Petrarca, and it's the main reason why she antagonized Miusel in the beginning. Miusel is one to a lesser extent. She obviously doesn't like Elbia hanging on Shinichi so much, as she feels her usefulness to Shinichi isn't as important. She also tries to wordlessly brush off Elbia's advances towards Shinichi, but Minori calls her out on this, and she lets slip that she'll have to work harder. In episode 7, Miusel is shown to be attached to Shinichi, enough that she actually disguises herself as luggage and sneaks into Japan with him. And when he spends a night with Peltralka in episode 8, she suffers a Heroic BSoD from it. Petrarca gets jealous over Shinichi's suggestion that Miusel should become a teacher at the school, teaching Japanese. She realizes the implication of them spending pretty much 24/7 with each other.

In the last episode, after Elbia is tazed and held at gunpoint, Minori comes to her rescue. Then, both of them make an entrance to save Shinichi and Miusel from the burning library.

comment
Undying Loyalty: Miusel makes it a point early on that she's eternally grateful to Shinichi for everything he's done for her, including teaching her how to read and write, allowing her to befriend the Supreme Ruler, and helping to eliminate Fantastic Racism altogether. She also doesn't hesitate for a second when Shinichi asks if she would come with him to Japan if they ever got the chance. This finally reaches a point in the penultimate episode, where she outright states that he'll always be her master, and she doesn't care if he's an invader or not, because his kindness is genuine and both her life and the lives of everyone else in Eldant have improved thanks to him. In the last episode, when Shinichi is knocked out in a burning building and Miusel isn't able to carry him to safety, she stays by his side, using her magic to protect him from the flames for as long as she can. When it looks like her magic is going to run out before help will arrive, she refuses to abandon him, even if it means she'll die as well.

Dark Secret: Petrarca is an elf. The kingdom will crumble if it ever gets out. Which also makes her a particularly unnerving example of Boomerang Bigot, when you consider her initial treatment of Miusel. Then again, half-elves apparently suffer discrimination from both pure humans and pure elves.

Petrarca's bout of ennui is concluded long before the movie filming; as a result Gallius has no opposition to the project, and even acts in it himself. The anime version of "Faldra" isn't a marionette dragon lifted by wyverns but rather a walking animatronic built by the JSDF, and is destroyed before it can be used.

Mighty Japanese-y: The series might as well be titled Shinichi and The Queen of Eldant, at least at first. Then it ends up being not so simple with Shinichi realizing that the cultural suppression tactics the Japanese government are using are harmful to the native culture and they're perfectly willing to kill anyone who gets in the way of their goal. Realizing he was this trope ends up causing him to have a Heroic BSoD. Bonus Point: Shinichi is here to sell addictive stuffs (namely Moe), just like any good capitalist. His improving the country is just part of building the market. You know, just like the old British Empire. The Japanese government on the other hand are portrayed extremely negatively, which eventually causes their colonization efforts to fail. Just like the British Empire.

Shown Their Work: Despite the initial silly premise, it seems as if a lot of work was done in accurately representing a "What If?" situation in the face of such a culture clash. Many logical steps are taken in developing the Erdant Empire to become a country fit for enjoying foreign entertainment, including access to better technology (the windmill power plant) and better education (the school). It even takes the class structure aspect seriously, as even though Shinichi is shown to be teaching mostly nobles, he helps Miusel study just as much and intends on integrating the other races in his school as well. The next episode preview is framed as part of videogame played by Bluk. When he starts it, he first blows the root part of the cartridge, just like how you start problematic copies of old NES or SNES games.
