In a World… where young witches and wizards train at the Tristain Academy of Magic. One of these students is Louise, who's so terrible at magic she's earned the nickname "Zero". When the time comes for students to summon their familiars, she ends up summoning Saito Hiraga, a normal teenager from modern Japan. Even though he's being treated like a dog and forced to do menial labor, Saito stays to protect his mistress. This means dealing with incoming advances from other women around him and getting involved in a war between Tristain's neighboring countries...The Familiar of Zero (Zero no Tsukaima) is a series of Light Novels written by Noboru Yamaguchi and illustrated by Usatsuka, which began publication under the MF Bunko J label in 2004; tragically, Yamaguchi passed away from cancer on April 4, 2013, leaving the series unfinished until it was confirmed in the summer of 2015 that the books would continue under the pen of an author that would turn out to be Yu Shimizu. The 21st novel was published in February 2016, while the 22nd and final planned novel was published in late February 2017.The series has an anime adaptation that ran for four seasons (titled The Familiar of Zero, Knight of the Twin Moons, The Princess' Rondo and The Familiar of Zero F) and aired from 2006 to 2012. The first season is the only season that has been dubbed in English. North Americans can watch season 4 of the anime, Familiar of Zero F, here legally on Crunchyroll. The novels also have a manga adaptation which was illustrated by Nana Mochizuki and serialized in Monthly Comic Alive from 2006 to 2009 (with a sequel Chevalier by Higa Yukari (serialized from 2010 to 2013)); both of them have been translated into English by Seven Seas Entertainment under the title Zero's Familiar. Two spin-offs (Zero no Tsukaima Gaiden: Tabatha no B�ken by Takuto Kon and Zero no Chukaima: Y�chien nano! by Takamura Masaya) and an official anthology manga were published in Japan, but not translated into English.

Fangirl: Saito and his male friends get a few after the Albion wars, hell even a girl support group formed from the schoolgirls in first and second year to help them. After his exploits in Romalia and Gallia, Saito comes back to Tristain and finds that a play his been written about him. It plays him up as a hero of the plebeians. His fan base has been extended to all the commoner woman who now want a piece of him. This was actually downplayed in the anime, believe it or not. In the book, one of the first things one of his fans asks of him is to name her unborn child.

This Is My Boomstick: The M72 Light Anti-Tank Weapon is probably a play on this. While not exactly weapons, 2 famous Mitsubishi fighter planes, the WWII A6M Zero and the modern F-2A Viper Zero are also examples. During the last episode they use a Flak 88, the biggest Boom Stick of the whole series.

Love Potion
 The Familiar of Zero / int_14a8974a
comment
Love Potion: Not that it doesn't work as intended. In fact, it works TOO well. Love Potions return again in the third season. Siesta plans to use one on Saito, but by Finagle's Law, it ends up spreading to a good amount of the women at the academy. Also, in the first case, at least, it seems to have the effect of severely altering the drinker's personality. Louise goes from regularly beating Saito to being ridiculously submissive. This is probably because if all it did was make her fall in love with Saito, the effect probably would have been unnoticeable, as her (denied) love for him was what led her to drink the potion in the first place. Incidentally it ONLY alters their personality, nothing else. Saito found this out the hard way when Louise reverted back to normal, complete with all her memories of everything that had happened. In Detail. She was not happy

Does This Remind You of Anything?: Take for example: in episode 2 of the fourth season you get the feeling that Joseph was about to rape Louise for a second when he said she was gonna "lose her honor", then you see his robe lowering and how he kneels in front of her while she's tied up on the ground and touches her face...

Defeat Means Friendship: Saito and Guiche become good friends after their duel in the first season. It didn't happen immediately afterward, but by the time they are fellows in the Undine Knights they are bosom buddies. Episode ten of season two shows an enemy dragon-rider that Saito shoots down help him and Louise escape enemy territory.

comment
Forgotten Phlebotinum: Saito's ability to see through Louise's eyes is only used a couple times. It's used once in Volume 2, then once in Volume 11 and again in Volume 14. The purpose of the ability is to notify Gandalfr whenever his master is in danger he wouldn't otherwise know about. The first time it was used was when Wardes turned traitor and tried to kill Louise. The second time was when the golem Jörmungand ambushed Louise and his fellow Knights of Ondine on their way out of Albion. Both times it notified Saito of his master's peril so he could come to the rescue. Unfortunately there are a whole bunch of other times where it would have come in handy but is just never mentioned, so this trope is usually in effect.

Above the Influence: Saito persistently brushes off the advances of a Love Potion-afflicted Louise in the first season. He often acts this way towards the other women as well, despite the fact that they all insist they're okay with it. Though he has intentionally kissed some of them, he often ends up regretting it.

Pyromaniac: Menvil... He just loves to burn humans to death. He said it himself. His men are also real bad mofos... They were ordered to cross the Tristain border to burn down the school, thus killing all the students... When they hear, that only the female students were left there, they consider to let them live for their personal use... Although, after they'd be finished with them, some of the girls probably would've wished for the first option. Menvil liked the suggestion, but he enjoys obviously murder more than sex. But then the actual plan is revealed: To take them as hostages because of the war Menvil's employers are.

Poor Communication Kills
 The Familiar of Zero / int_1c445e86
comment
Poor Communication Kills: Louise and Saito have both made lots of progress in their relationship. Their problem is complete obliviousness on both ends. Saito probably wouldn't be blasted to hell and back so often if those two knew how to talk to (or simply cold read) each other. As it is, the fact Louise hasn't killed him yet is astonishing. A specific and hilarious early case happens when Saito is introduced to Henrietta for the first time. The Queen extends her hand to a clueless Saito, who asks Louise what he should do, and Louise carelessly tells him he should kiss her. So Saito takes Henrietta's hand... pulls her into an embrace, dips her down low and lays a passionate one on her mouth. He got a savage beating from Louise for that one.

I Need a Freaking Drink: Louise sees her familiar/servant/friend/love interest/(It's complicated!), Saito in a hot bath (heavily improvised, late at night, and out in school grounds) she angrily stormed off (all the while making herself even angrier by insisting to herself she had no reason to be angry) and grabbed a drink about to be ingested by another student. Through a long series of events (irrelevant to this example), the drink was spiked with a love potion (that also seriously altered her personality, apparently...) and only made the issue worse... for everyone.

Chekhov's Boomerang: The Water Ruby, a ring which Henrietta passed to Louise as a good luck charm before assigning her to a mission in Albion. It was vital to convince Prince Wales of Albion that Louise is really Tristain's ambassador. It is more than just a Tristainian royal keepsake as it was later revealed to be essential in unlocking the secrets of Void magic.

Later also seen by the cute (and bustier) half-elf Tiffania that even makes Siesta seems slender as Louise, as well becoming the Third-Option Love Interest for Saito Hiraga.

Ax-Crazy: King Joseph of Gallia. The previous king awarded the throne to him instead of his brother and his brother expresses happiness over Joseph having been made king instead of the seething jealousy Joseph had been hoping to see. This causes him to snap and murder his brother in a fit of rage during a hunting trip some time after.

Gratuitous English: Rather oddly considering they're supposed to be French-speaking, Queen Henrietta at least once clearly addresses Colbert as "Mister Colbert." Sheffield also uses the term "Miss" at one point to address Louise, although Sheffield is an English name, so she's got an excuse. They seem to use the Greek alphabet, at least in the manga.

Quadratic Wizards Linear Warriors: In-story example. The lack of any sort of Charles Atlas Superpower means that warriors and primitive muskets aren’t much of a match against people who can conjure giant fireballs and massive tornadoes, thus Halkeginia’s class gap between muggle commoners and noble mages.

Rags to Royalty: Depending on how you look at it, Tabitha might qualify as either a Snow White or Goose Girl style version as she's actually Charlotte Helene Orleans, the rightful heir to the Gallian throne but was denied her position after her father got murdered during a duel with his own brother and her mother became mad after drinking a potent poison actually meant for Tabitha. She was then sent to Tristain to keep her out of the way and adopted the alias Tabitha, the name of a doll given to her by her mother. The conspirators then arranged for her to become a knight so they could use her magical talent as an excuse to send her on dangerous missions.

Evolving Credits: This happens in both the first and second season's opening. During most of the two first seasons, it relatively remains the same, with just the bgm playing in the background, but when the final episodes of season one and two occurs, the opening seems to proceed as normally... only to have additional sounds during certain parts, such as the Zero Fighter fly-by and the magical explosion near the end of season one's opening.

Hegemonic Empire: Romalia also utilizes a different sort of hegemony over Halkagenia, a continent that consists of five independent nations (Albion, Gallia, Germania, Romalia, and Tristain). Romalia is relatively weak militarily, and it often remains neutral (such as when Albion declared war on Tristain), but the Romalian Emperor, by exerting control over the church, can nonetheless override the other rulers' decisions.

Power of Love: The light novels make it very clear that Saito's powers as a Gandalfr increase when feeling strong emotions. Anger, sadness, happiness, any will do, but Saito most frequently fuels his powers via his love for Louise. In a reciprocal twist, the quickest way to recharge Louise's willpower is apparently to trigger any of her myriad feelings for Saito.

This too also took over a dozen volumes.

Character Development
 The Familiar of Zero / int_3b113b7
comment
Character Development: Less apparent in the anime, but virtually every recurring character becomes more rounded as the series progresses, mostly as a result of growing maturity as well as the stark realization of the looming threats of war. Louise's development is one of the most obvious; starting off as a Jerkass with a Hidden Heart of Gold who frequently abuses Saito physically and verbally, she eventually becomes a Type B Tsundere towards Saito after realizing her own feelings to Saito and recognizing his exploits, effectively overcoming her noble upbringing which discriminates against commoners. The entire process took almost 20 volumes, spanning over a year in the series timeline. Saito also becomes more mature, though not as dramatic as Louise; starting off as a happy-go-lucky Ordinary High-School Student who could not resist being physically attracted to every beautiful woman he meets and ends up becoming a Chivalrous Pervert with clear objectives in life and who recognises his own failings and constantly reminds himself to resist any temptations so as to remain faithful to Louise. This too also took over a dozen volumes. The young nobles from the Tristain Academy of Magic such as Guiche and Malicorne became less Upper-Class Twit and more Knight in Shining Armor and thus more appreciative of commoners over time, especially after first-hand experiences with war and personally witnessing Saito's strength.

Boob-Based Gag: Tiffania dubbed by Saito as "the big breasted fairy who saved my life". They are the source of many jokes such as people wondering if they are real. In the Sleipnir Ball (in the anime), she masquerades as Saito; Louise thought the one she saw was Saito, but looking a bit down, she saw a huge chest, because the magic did not seem to remove Tiffania's chest size!

Zero no Tsukaima fan fiction became popular on Naro during the late 2000s, eventually spawning a genre of isekai novels on the site, which became known as Naro novels. Zero no Tsukaima fan fiction writers eventually began writing original isekai novels, many of which were adapted into anime shows, popularizing the isekai genre.

Characterization Marches On: Siesta who in the first anime season is a good-natured classy woman; seen as the complete opposite of Louise. Later seasons however, Siesta's character takes a complete 180 and acts more like a desperate slut trying to force her way into the relationship. You never see the same lovable Siesta from season one again after deciding to change her actions. Saito went through an unexplained change between seasons. Season one, he always stayed calm whenever he ended up in embarrassing situations with the women. In season 2 and on he clearly shows a perverted side of himself anytime a woman tries to seduce him in some way or form.

In that exact same episode/chapter of the light novel, there's a really steamy, passionate scene where Princess Henrietta practically rapes Saito to avoid arrest by government officials looking for her.

The Atoner: Mr. Colbert detests violence because of the time he burned down a village on bogus orders. King Joseph can be seen as a twisted example. It's hinted at that he truly regrets not feeling remorse over killing his brother and that all his actions up to this point have been an attempt to try and make himself feel remorseful.

Fantastic Racism: References in the light novels indicate the elves hold the "Holy Land," and are resented for this as well as being feared for having unusually powerful magic. Montmorency said at one point that even a Square Mage is at a disadvantage against an elf. This is because Tiffania hides her pointy ears.

Fantasy Counterpart Culture
 The Familiar of Zero / int_57d43e40
comment
Fantasy Counterpart Culture: Most if not all the kingdoms and countries have seventeenth century Europe counterparts and most of the characters are named after either actual historical figures or fictional characters from the work Zero no Tsukaima draws a lot of its inspiration from, The Three Musketeers. So much so that it is definitely a case of Shown Their Work: Halkeginia (Zero No Tsukaima's Europe counterpart) is loosely based on seventeenth century Europe, with the countries, excepted Tristain, having the old Roman or Classical names of existing countries: The Kingdom of Gallia is the Kingdom of France, with some flavors of Spain in it (like the castle of Alhambra where Tabitha was imprisoned). The capital city is Lutèce (Paris), but the royale palace is in Versailles, just like it was in Real Life under the Ancient Régime. The Kingdom of Albion and the Holy Republic of Albion are respectively the Kingdom of England and the Commonwealth Republic (with some Germany in it). The capital city is Londinium (London), and the court took refuge in Newcastle during the civil war. The Holy Empire of Romania is The Papal States, and is descended from Halkeginia's version of The Roman Empire. The Empire of Germania is north-eastern Europe: a combination of the Holy Roman Empire, seventeenth century Austria and seventeenth century Poland (modern Poland and western Russia). The capital city is Vindobona (Vienne). The Kingdom of Tristain is the Austrian Netherlands (combination of modern Belgium and modern Netherlands), but only geographically speaking. Thematically and politically, it has more numerous similarities to France. The Grand Duchy of Grudenholf is the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg and, as seventeenth century Luxembourg was under Austrian Netherlands rule, is under Tristain rule. Outside of Halkeginia, there are also elven states like Sahara (the Ottoman Empire) or Rub Al'khali (probably the Emirate of Diriyah). Characters: Queen Henrietta of Tristain is Henriette Anne Stuart of England, cousin (and mistress) of Louis XIV, and wife of his brother, Philippe of France (who was ''busy'' with Armand de Gramont, Comte de Guiche). Her maidservant was Louise de La Baume Le Blanc, Duchesse de la Valière (also King Louis' mistress; the real Guiche was, prior to this, trying to get into her pants too, but Louis was more... persuasive). In the same vein, Louise de la Vallière is also one of the main characters in Alexandre Dumas's novel The Vicomte de Bragelonne, which makes central to the plot her affair with Louis XIV, while she is the fiancée of Raoul, who is the son of musketeer Athos and the titular Vicomte. Armand de Gramont, Comte de Guiche, is, of course, Guiche de Gramond, and was just as a playboy as Guiche, although better at it. He is also in The Vicomte de Bragelonne, where he is portrayed as the closest friend of Raoul. Kirche Augusta Frederica von Anhalt Zerbst's name comes from Sophia Augusta Fredericka von Anhalt-Zerbst, also known as Catherine the Great, Empress of Russia. Montmorency Margarita La Fère de Montmorency is probably a reference to both Charlotte Marguerite de Montmorency and the musketeer Athos, whose noble title is "Count de la Fère". Among the teachers of Tristain Academy, there is Jean Colbert, named after Jean-Baptiste Colbert the finance minister of Louis XIV, and Professor Chevreuse is probably named after Marie de Rohan, Duchesse de Chevreuse, a French noblewoman so infamous for being at the center of many the intrigues and conspiracies that she featured in The Three Musketeers as the lover of musketeer Aramis, then musketeer Athos, giving him a son, Raoul. Interestingly, the thief Fouquet contains three reference: first, Fouquet is the name of a corrupt French government official under Cardinal Mazarin and an underage Louis XIV; second, her alias as Ms. Longueville most likely references the French noblewoman and important member of the Fronde civil war against the Sun King; finally, her real name, Matilda de Saxe-Gotha (as well as Tiffania's family name), has for real-world equivalent the House of Sachse-Coburg and Gotha (which had a British branch that changed their name due to anti-German sentiment during World War I, becoming The House of Windsor...the current British royal family). Viscount Wardes, Louise's fiancee, is named after the Comte de Wardes, a character and antagonist from The Three Musketeers, who tries to stop d'Artagnan from traveling to England. The novel mentions that Cattleya, Louise's eldest sister, inherited a title from her father, out of compassion for her lifelong sickness, and of which she is the only member. Said title, Cattleya Yvette La Baume Le Blanc de La Fontaine, is a reference to famous French fabulist Jean de La Fontaine. Oliver Cromwell, the Lord Protector of Holy Republic of Albion, is, well, Oliver Cromwell, the Lord Protector of Commonwealth Republic. The civil war he leads is against James I of Albion, counterpart of James the First (father of Charles I against whom the real Cromwell led his rebellion). On the other hand, Prince Wales Tudor of Albion is a generic Prince of Wales. Giulio named himself after the Fantasy Counterpart of Julius Caesar, who apparently lived centuries ago in the history of the setting. So he's not actually a fantasy counterpart of a historical figure, just a fanboy of the fantasy counterpart of a historical figure. The fourteenth novel introduces a Gallian warrior named Batz Castlemorre. In real life, Charles de Batz-Castelmore was more commonly known as d'Artagnan (yes, he really existed). Albrecht III, Emperor of Germania, is maybe Albert VII, Archduke of Austria. Cardinal Mazarin, the chancellor of Tristain, is named after Cardinal Jules Mazarin, Italian cardinal and French politician under Louis XIV. Madame Molière, the chancellor of Gallia under Joseph's reign and his mistress, sports the stage name of Jean-Baptiste Poquelin, a.k.a. Molière, the famous French playwright. The campy Scarron is named after Paul Scarron, a novelist, playwright, and poet who lived during the time of Louis XIV. It is mentioned in passing that the grandfather of King Joseph of Gallia and his brother Charles of Orléans, as well as builder of Versailles, was named Robespierre III, most likely after Maximilien Robespierre. Maricorne isn't exactly historical, but has a rather... interesting... Spanish meaning.

comment
The Unreveal: As the final two volumes were completed posthumously using Yamaguchi's notes as a basis, there are some very interesting plot threads introduced in both Volumes 20 and 21 that ultimately go unexplored. Due to their nature however, all examples are spoilers. See that snippet up at Alternate Universe? We ultimately learn little, if anything, about either the Markey people that Brimir descended from, how they even got to Halkegenia in the first place, or about the people on Earth that were pursuing them in the first place, the Varyag. The fact that Saito finds the Varyag's origin story, or at least as told to him, to be extremely suspect (Their soldiers were described as wearing armor reminiscent of Greek heavy infantry......despite allegedly having existed during the Stone Age), is also not followed up on.

Inconsistent Dub
 The Familiar of Zero / int_5b607875
comment
Inconsistent Dub: The European Spanish dub suffers of this regarding the use of the word Familiar (Tsukaima in Japanese). Everybody refers their familiars as such in Spanish, despise in Spanish (in all dialects) the word Familiar normally reffers to both a member of a family and also when something is familiar for someone.note See "Blind Idiot" Translation for more details. The problem here is in the same episode the dub use Familiar and also the Spanish word Sirviente (Spanish for Servant who is the equivalent for Familiar in that language). On the other hand this is avoided with the Spanish title: In both Spain and Latin America it was renamed as La Magia de Zero (The Magic of Zero) for the already explained reason. The Mexican Spanish dub avoids this entirely: It's now translated consistely as Guardian Mistico (Mystical Guardian) or simply as Guardian. Oddly enough, in the pilot dub used during the Official Fan-Submitted Content, Sirviente was used just like the European Spanish one.

A specific and hilarious early case happens when Saito is introduced to Henrietta for the first time. The Queen extends her hand to a clueless Saito, who asks Louise what he should do, and Louise carelessly tells him he should kiss her. So Saito takes Henrietta's hand... pulls her into an embrace, dips her down low and lays a passionate one on her mouth. He got a savage beating from Louise for that one.

Fantastic Measurement System: Mages are ranked as either "Dots", "Lines", "Triangles" or "Squares" in terms of how powerful they are, which references the four elements of magic. Higher ranked mages can combine more elements into a single spell (dots only one, lines two, and triangles and squares three and four respectively), and in addition require less willpower to cast spells of the same level as lower ranked mages.

Pragmatic Adaptation: The arcs and deeper details surrounding them are compressed in the anime, or some are outright ignored; case in point being Tiffania's introduction and eventually joining Saito's party, in the novels she took some time to gather courage to leave the forest, that and she was taking care of lost children, the anime glosses this over and make her join right in.

Summon Binding: For mages in training, summoning and binding familiars is a rite of passage that determines their future education and is a measure of their potential. The plot is kicked off when Louise, Inept Mage that she is, summons a normal human boy named Saito from another world and binds him as her servant. It's implied that the familiar runes Mind Rape Saito and make him forget the bonds he has with his family and old world and, over time, replace them with a desire to serve and protect his master. This is confirmed in the light novels, as the Mind Rape from the contract is undone and Saito gets all the feelings of homesickness back in a large burst and complicates his relationship with Louise.

Elemental Hair Colors

comment
Elemental Hair Colors: On the Played Straight side, we've got Fiery Redhead Kirche (fire affinity), Rei Ayanami Expy Tabitha (wind), Mme. Chevreuse (brown / Earth), and Miss Longueville (green / Earth). On the other hand, Louise, Cattleya, and their mother Karin all have pink hair, but all have a different affinity (Void, Earth, and Wind, respectively). It's notable that the main characters who are not magic users of some kind (Seito, Siesta, Marteau, Scarron, and Jessica) all have very dark brown or black hair.

comment
Meaningful Echo: As the True Companions makes their way toward rescuing Tabitha, she's reading a story about a girl being rescued from a dragon. Saito admits to Louise (in the light novel, at least) that he's trembling with fear of the elf they have to fight; the story Tabitha's reading mentions that the hero who rescues the girl trembles with fear of the dragon. And the overcoming of the elf's shields parallels the dragon's defeat as, both times, the sword suddenly glows (in Derflinger's case, with Louise's Void "Dispel") before striking the final blow.

comment
Meaningful Name: A mage's "runic name" is chosen to reflect his or her elemental affinity and abilities. For example, Tabitha's runic name is "Blizzard", implying she's skilled with wind and water spells, while Guiche's is "Bronze" because he prefers to summon bronze golems that fight for him. If you think about it, Louise's unwanted nickname "zero" fits her very well, since it turns out she can cast void magic to nullify magic effects.

Can't Stand Them, Can't Live Without Them: Saito and Louise drive each other nuts but can't part from each other without feeling depressed or listless. It's taken to the Logical Extreme in Volume 8 of the novel. A depressed Louise is upset that even in a dream, she's unable to tell Saito she loves him. Deciding she can't leave him until she's said it at least once, she attempts suicide just to meet him again. Only to be stopped by Siesta. Only to fall either way. Don't worry, they get out safe and sound... at Guiche's expense...

Bolivian Army Ending: Both Volume 2 and 7 end with a variation of this, though the ones at the receiving end are not the main characters. In Volume 2, the Albionian Royalists’ glorious last stand got most of the wind knocked out of it after Prince Wales’ assassination, so they ended up getting massacred. Volume 7 closes with Cromwell, up to then the main antagonist, cheerfully greeting the “reinforcements� from the Gallian airship armada… only to be bombarded and killed along the rest of the Reconquista army.

Ready for Lovemaking: Louise did this for Saito when she was under the influence of a Love Potion, wearing a rather transparent nightgown.

The Magic Versus Technology War: A bit. An actual war with this trope didn't happen in this story, but magic being impractical and slow, the fact that Saito had firearms and vehicles from Earth gave him an incredible advantage when fighting enemies in that magical world. Saito mentions that if an all-out war occurs between the two worlds, the battle would be one-sided in favor of Earth.

See that snippet up at Alternate Universe? We ultimately learn little, if anything, about either the Markey people that Brimir descended from, how they even got to Halkegenia in the first place, or about the people on Earth that were pursuing them in the first place, the Varyag. The fact that Saito finds the Varyag's origin story, or at least as told to him, to be extremely suspect (Their soldiers were described as wearing armor reminiscent of Greek heavy infantry......despite allegedly having existed during the Stone Age), is also not followed up on.

Mind Rape
 The Familiar of Zero / int_8a4988bb
comment
Mind Rape / More than Mind Control: Louise spends most of volumes 10 and 11 angsting over the possibility that Saito’s then-newfound courage and determination could be the result of the Familiar contract brainwashing him into servility, and wondering if his feelings for her could be a fabrication as well. This gets solved in two parts: In volume 10, Louise confronts Saito on his (perceived) fearlessness, prompting him to explain somewhat angrily that he’s actually scared out of his wits yet trying his best to retain composure. Fittingly, a normal person persevering in the face of danger and his own fear is precisely the theme of "The Hero of Ivaldi", the book Tabitha spends most of the volume reading. Still unconvinced, in volume 11, Louise has Tiffania use her Oblivion spell to erase any possible thought-alteration that the contract could have caused, with somewhat unexpected results. For a while, Saito had noticed that he’d get severe bouts of homesickness whenever he was far from Louise, and it’s then revealed that the Familiar contract acts as a suppressant for those emotions whenever the Master is close. While Louise’s other fears turn out to be unfounded, Saito is hit with a year’s worth of homesickness all at once and suffers a temporary Heroic BSoD. In the end, he gets over it and returns to Louise all the same, but not before voicing his annoyance at her continuing to distrust his feelings.

His men are also real bad mofos... They were ordered to cross the Tristain border to burn down the school, thus killing all the students... When they hear, that only the female students were left there, they consider to let them live for their personal use... Although, after they'd be finished with them, some of the girls probably would've wished for the first option. Menvil liked the suggestion, but he enjoys obviously murder more than sex. But then the actual plan is revealed: To take them as hostages because of the war Menvil's employers are.

"Blind Idiot" Translation: While acting-wise the European Spanish dub is pretty good, the translation is sometimes too literal: Louise's nickname Louise The Zero is translated literally in Spanish as Louise La Cero. Even if that makes sense as Louise is cataloged in her world as a Zero talent mage, it was turned into "Louise la Inútil" (Louise the useless) for the official translation, making the nickname to not go with the untranslated name of the cartoon, although, It goes more among the lines of Woolseyism as they are adapting the names like "Kirche the Ardent" became "Kirche la ardiente" (both a fire mage and a seductress) and "Guiche the Bronze" became "Guiche el chico de bronze" (an immature kid and also a master of metal creations) for the Latin America dub.

Character Exaggeration

comment
Character Exaggeration: Every single named character gets this, with varying levels, in the anime; their quirks and personality traits are amplified for the sake of constant slapstick. Louise is more violent and mistrusts Saito more easily, resulting in more punishment and explosions for him; Saito himself is more of a willing pervert, the "accidental" part is less pronounced, resulting in him deserving some of the punishing; Siesta appears in situations she wasn't originally in, heavily exaggerating her clingy quirks and snark comments on her bigger bosom over Louise's.

Hot Springs Episode
 The Familiar of Zero / int_926e0d7d
comment
Hot Springs Episode: When a hot spring erupts on Saito and Louise's land, Saito quickly converts it into a onsen and invites everybody to use it. Several characters had never heard of a hot spring, but agree to come when it is explained, and the girls like how it is good for the skin. They agree to have the boys and girls take turns, but the boys (except for Saito) predictably try to peep, only to be blasted away. Tiffania faints from the heat and has to be carried out. Later that night, Saito and Louise use the onsen together.

Big Bad: King Joseph is this within the majority of the series. He is responsible for Tabitha's plight, the murder of his brother and the terrors that Reconquista has caused, due to him being responsible for their rise within the shadows. The Ancient Dragon later becomes the main and final antagonist of the series during F's Episodes 10-12 after Joseph's death, posing a more serious threat to the main characters than many of the franchise's villains.

"Not So Different" Remark: While the elves and humans both display Fantastic Racism, in episode 9 of Season 4, after Lukshana goes off on her own to explore Tabitha's castle, Guiche and Ari both go looking for her. Montmorency later sees Guiche talking to a maid and immediately assumes that he's cheating on her (again). She refuses to listen to an explanation and storms off, after which Ari mentions that when it comes to women, they both have the same issues. Both of them are later seen eating together and angrily agreeing with each other with supposedly how badly their women treat them.

 The Familiar of Zero / int_a53be897
comment
Halkeginia (Zero No Tsukaima's Europe counterpart) is loosely based on seventeenth century Europe, with the countries, excepted Tristain, having the old Roman or Classical names of existing countries: The Kingdom of Gallia is the Kingdom of France, with some flavors of Spain in it (like the castle of Alhambra where Tabitha was imprisoned). The capital city is Lutèce (Paris), but the royale palace is in Versailles, just like it was in Real Life under the Ancient Régime. The Kingdom of Albion and the Holy Republic of Albion are respectively the Kingdom of England and the Commonwealth Republic (with some Germany in it). The capital city is Londinium (London), and the court took refuge in Newcastle during the civil war. The Holy Empire of Romania is The Papal States, and is descended from Halkeginia's version of The Roman Empire. The Empire of Germania is north-eastern Europe: a combination of the Holy Roman Empire, seventeenth century Austria and seventeenth century Poland (modern Poland and western Russia). The capital city is Vindobona (Vienne). The Kingdom of Tristain is the Austrian Netherlands (combination of modern Belgium and modern Netherlands), but only geographically speaking. Thematically and politically, it has more numerous similarities to France. The Grand Duchy of Grudenholf is the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg and, as seventeenth century Luxembourg was under Austrian Netherlands rule, is under Tristain rule. Outside of Halkeginia, there are also elven states like Sahara (the Ottoman Empire) or Rub Al'khali (probably the Emirate of Diriyah).

Happiness in Slavery
 The Familiar of Zero / int_a58802b7
comment
Happiness in Slavery: Even after all the whipping and explosions Saito has suffered under Louise, he still loves her and steadfastly remains loyal and protective. Quite possibly best exemplified in the last episode of season one, where instead of going home to his world, Saito throws away his only chance to help/save/stay with Louise, and the first episode of season three, when the runes disappear from Saito's hand, meaning he is no longer Louise's familiar. Despite this, he promises to never leave, suggesting they can now live as a regular couple. Of course, Louise, being the tsundere she is, promptly blows him up.

For the Evulz: After Joseph steals Louise's void magic ability in episode 3 of Season 4, he uses it to set off some magical bombs. His reasoning for all the evil deeds he's doing is because he wants to feel some kind of emotion, such as Louise does when she begins to shed tears after he starts blowing up his fleet along with Romalia's fleet. He doesn't seem to care that his actions are hurting or killing lots of people. His stated goal is to destroy the world, causing atrocity after atrocity until he is finally capable of showing remorse over the acts he has committed.

 The Familiar of Zero / int_b58642b1
comment
Trapped in Another World: Saito is trapped in Louise's world. In the novels, one of his main motivations is getting back to his own world. He managed to find a possible way back to Earth, via a Void-based portal spell. By then however, he became too attached to Halkeginia and decided not to leave. At least for now. Trope Codifier and Genre Popularizer: It codified and popularized the isekai genre, along with the website Shosetsuka ni Naro ("Let's Become Novelists"), known as Naro for short. Zero no Tsukaima fan fiction became popular on Naro during the late 2000s, eventually spawning a genre of isekai novels on the site, which became known as Naro novels. Zero no Tsukaima fan fiction writers eventually began writing original isekai novels, many of which were adapted into anime shows, popularizing the isekai genre.

Aerith and Bob: There are names like Henrietta, Guiche, Tabitha, Agnes... all appropriate for the setting. Then there are names like Hiraga Saito and Siesta. People do notice Saito's fairly strange name, but it's justified. Seems to be played straight in Siesta's case—there's no Expy nation of Spain, her only named relatives have British-sounding names, and she's of Japanese descent.

First Girl Wins: Mostly played straight, but mildly toyed with as well. Louise was the first girl we're introduced to, she wasn't the first girl to whom Saito showed an overt attraction, but she was the first girl he shared an intimate moment with, and she's the one he's ultimately fallen in love with to the point of marrying her at the end of the light novel and F.

Element No. 5
 The Familiar of Zero / int_bed47e72
comment
Element No. 5: Void is the legendary fifth element. The reason a mage's rank doesn't go beyond "Square" is because everyone thought it was just a legend. While never outright stated, it seems to be heavily implied that void type mages can't use any other type of magic. That would mean that no mage above square rank is even possible.

Translator Microbes
 The Familiar of Zero / int_bf487e2b
comment
Translator Microbes: The Halkeginian language is magically translated into Japanese and vice-versa for the benefit of Saito and his interlocuters. The limitations of this form of translation became apparent in later volumes when Saito tried to learn the Halkeginian script and realised that he was reading the words as if they were translated idiomatically, which is not a problem if he just want to understand the overall meaning of the text but becomes a problem if he wanted to understand it literally.

In volume 10, Louise confronts Saito on his (perceived) fearlessness, prompting him to explain somewhat angrily that he’s actually scared out of his wits yet trying his best to retain composure. Fittingly, a normal person persevering in the face of danger and his own fear is precisely the theme of "The Hero of Ivaldi", the book Tabitha spends most of the volume reading.

Shout-Out
 The Familiar of Zero / int_c75df49a
comment
Shout-Out: Hard to say if it's this or Theme Naming, but Guiche's giant mole-critter familiar is named Verthandi, the original (Norse) spelling of Belldandy's name from Ah! My Goddess. Take a look at Belldandy (the mole). It has a blue triangle on its forehead. Belldandy from Ah My Goddess has a blue gem in her forehead. And some of the translations actually render the familiar's name as Belldandy — which may just mean the translator didn't realize that's not the Norn's original name. The reason for Princess Charlotte's mother insanity (and the insanity itself) is identical to the fate of Princess Kushana's mother from the Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind manga, only with a happy ending. One episode features the cast investigating a secret chamber in the school, the entrance of which happens to be in a girl's bathroom. Yes. Also, the series features a character named Louise Valliere, a Cardinal Mazarin, a teacher named Chevreuse, a quest to retrieve an embarrassing item from a royal's lover, a port named La Rochelle, and references to the Siege of Amiens. And that's just for starters. Louise's outfit in Season 4, Episode 2 screams of A Certain Magical Index. This line from Season 4, Episode 6: A very local one was added in the Mexican Spanish dub in Season 1, first episode: While Saito trying to escape from the castle, he compares Louise and the nobles with some kind of "cult" or freaks. While it could be a coincidence, it could be a reference from the infamous case of the Cuban-American Voodoo cult leader Adolfo Constanzo, who murdered many people in human sacrifices for some drug cartels and used his body parts for supposed spells.note Needless to say, that case still shocks Mexican society to this date.

Fake-Out Make-Out
 The Familiar of Zero / int_cddc61ac

Fake-Out Make-Out: Used by two different pairs in one episode. Louise x Agnes being the more entertaining of the two — Agnes eavesdrops on a conversation between conspirators, Louise comes up behind her and gasps when she overhears part of the plot. When one of the men goes to investigate, Agnes quickly kisses Louise until the man walks off. Agnes looks disgusted (or, at least, very embarrassed) afterwards, but for some odd reason, someone happens to mention a rumor to Louise later on that Agnes might like women... In that exact same episode/chapter of the light novel, there's a really steamy, passionate scene where Princess Henrietta practically rapes Saito to avoid arrest by government officials looking for her. Also on the subject of Agnes, she is androgynous/masculine in appearance note  As long as she's wearing something loose enough to hide her figure, which is definitely NOT masculine , so her and Louise kissing wouldn't necessarily look like a lesbian makeout session to unknowing observers. Then there's another moment where the Queen and Saito do this, only using something more... racy.

Lighter and Softer
 The Familiar of Zero / int_ce6555f0
comment
Lighter and Softer: If you read the novels after having watched the anime, you'll be outright startled at how much the violence was toned down. For example, when Saito beat Wardes for the first time, rather than just swinging his sword at Wardes and making him collapse, Saito hacked his arm off. And during their final confrontation, rather than Wardes vanishing in the explosion of light created by Louise's void magic, he is ventilated by high-caliber machine gun rounds (only for it to later be revealed that he survived). Additionally the 4th season of the anime is far lighter and softer than the equivalent parts in the novel (dealing with Romalia and the elves), which has far more intrigue and a very real crisis to deal with.

With Tabitha the girl in the background is... Slyphid's human form. Probably for obvious reasons.

Supporting Harem: Louise is the female protagonist and Saito's indisputable love interest, but this doesn't stop other girls from pursuing him. At the end of the series, the supporting haremettes give up when Saito and Louise get married.

The Mexican Spanish dub avoids this entirely: It's now translated consistely as Guardian Mistico (Mystical Guardian) or simply as Guardian. Oddly enough, in the pilot dub used during the Official Fan-Submitted Content, Sirviente was used just like the European Spanish one.

Moment Killer
 The Familiar of Zero / int_ece6f910
comment
Moment Killer: This happens often in the anime. Whever a moment could happen, any other character walks into the situation and everything is ruined. Cue Explosion. If they don't walk in, it is at the very least witnessed by someone else and consequences will be had later. Basically, nobody in this show has a sense of privacy and everyone has impeccable timing. If no one else can kill the "Moment" Saito will find a way to say something stupid, usually about events involving another girl or Louise's breast size, out loud in front of Louise.

Easily Forgiven: Louise essentially kidnaps Saito from his old life by force, enslaves him, forces him to do her chores, beats him whenever she gets upset, and denies him food as punishment when she's unsatisfied with his work. But despite all this, Saito still ends up falling in love with her.

Joshikousei
 The Familiar of Zero / int_f4de9a30
comment
Joshikousei: In one of the light novels, Saito has a seifuku made and persuades Siesta to wear it. Guiche and Malicorn loudly express outrage at how "indecent" it looks, but they're clearly fascinated - and then Guiche asks where he can get one, to give to Montmorency. She wears it to class the next day, drawing everyone's attention, including Louise's. In the anime, Saito sees the seifuku at a shop (how the shop obtained it is anybody's guess) and buys it for Siesta. Later in the episode when the main cast is trapped in a cave, Siesta comes running to them (complete with very audiable bouncing) wearing the seifuku, much to the party's amusement. The second PS2 game is based around Saito dreaming about attending school in Japan with many of the female characters. Louise is the only one wearing a sailor uniform due to apparently being a transfer student, whereas the others wear a blazer uniform.

Last Stand: Saito does one during the end of Season 2, combined with One-Man Army. As to be expected of such lopsided odds, it doesn't go well for him, although he does buy the Tristan army the time they needed to evacuate. It's also subverted because although he technically dies, he's brought back to life almost right away shortly afterwards.

Dude, Where's My Respect?
 The Familiar of Zero / int_f818b637
comment
Dude, Where's My Respect?: To list some of Saito's accomplishments: Fought and stalled an army of seventy thousand. Saved Tabitha, a princess of the neighboring country, from her Evil Uncle in his own castle. Showed nobles that, yes, commoners can kick their asses. Gained the admiration of several nobles in the academy. Used modern weapons—that is, a M72 LAW rocket launcher that has fallen into the country. Fought an elf and survived. This is one of his biggest ones, really, as elves in the novel are practically demigods. Refused a chance to abandon Halkegenia and return to his homeland Japan (although he was lined up to be shot by the Pope's Windalfr, if he stepped into the portal), got a tank, and defeated an entire platoon of magitek weapon-wielding medieval mecha designed specifically to ward all medieval weaponry and magic, by himself, with ammunition support from Tabitha and steering from Colbert, both guided by Saito. His victory was then claimed by Vittoro's Crusaders faction to be entirely their job and their success. Twice. This time all of the Undine Knights were upset by that. All of this happened after Saito had an important and complex part of his bond with Louise broken by a brute force Amnesia spell, specifically the part designed to make Saito ignore everything but Louise's positive qualities and block out anything that doesn't make him subservient to her. Yet he still soldiered on for her, regardless. Yet Louise still shows him no respect, even calling him a dog and continuing to whip him. She also refuses to accept his being a noble (When she was a Chevalier, he later became the same. When she became a Court Lady, he later became a Lieutenant of the Imperial Army. When she became in line to the throne, he later became a Duke.) meaning similar or equal grounds to her. When this was mentioned to her in the Light Novel, she yelled at him loudly, mocking the thought of them ever being equal using her last name as her entire argument, and lastly called him a dog some more for good measure.

Love Makes You Crazy
 The Familiar of Zero / int_f96f8980
comment
Love Makes You Crazy: This is a reoccurring theme in the franchise as a whole. It's easier to count the number of relationships where the partners aren't completely out of their minds then it is to count the number of relationships where people are. Louise's obsession with Saito will cause her to beat him if he so much as looks at another woman. And when he (occasionally) gets angry and leaves she ends up hardly able to leave her bed.

Theme Naming
 The Familiar of Zero / int_fd94c4ac
comment
Theme Naming: Many of the Halkeginian names and terms derive from Norse Mythology, particularly Norse dwarves. Just to name a few from the Academy of Magic alone: '''Alviss Dining Hall, Fenrir's Library Austri Plaza and Vestri Court. Hell, even the Void familiars follow this theme: Gandálfr, Vindálfr, and Mjöðvitnir are all Norse dwarves, while Lífþrasir is one of the two humans who are destined to survive Ragnarok and repopulate the world. Saito's talking sword is Derflinger while the display sword was said to have been made by a Count Spee. Derflinger was a WWI German Battlecruiser (named for a 30 Years War General), while Graf (Count) Spee would be a WWI German Admiral or the WWII pocket battleship named for him..
