| Darwin's Game (Manga) | comment |
Kaname Sudo is just another Ordinary High-School Student, but one day receives an invite from his friend to join the Darwin's Game, which is apparently a survival game played on one's phone. Kaname accepts, completely disregarding the fact that his teacher just told him that his friend—the sender of the invite—has apparently gone missing. The moment he does, a snake leaps out of the phone and bites him in the neck before vanishing. However, he was the only one able to see the snake, and he immediately collapses before he can say anything more.As you'd expect, Kaname soon finds himself targeted by the Ax-Crazy contestants of the game, all of whom are out to kill each other in order to win. Now Kaname must fight for survival and search for the truth behind Darwin's Game, or die trying.A shounen manga drawn and written by the two-man team FLIPFLOPs, the manga ran in Bessatsu Shonen Champion from December 12, 2012 to November 12, 2023, and was collected in 30 volumes.An Animated Adaptation by studio Nexus under director Yoshinobu Tokumoto premiered on January 3, 2020. Aniplex USA has licensed the series with a simuldub being provided by Funimation.A light novel interquel, Flag Game, details the Sunset Ravens' Clan Wars in Shibuya between the events of the Treasure Hunt Game and the Hunting Island Game. It is centered on Shuka Karino's quest for revenge on her parents' killer.The 25th volume also announced an upcoming manga spinoff centered on Rein.Beware of spoilers, some of which are unmarked Late Arrival Spoilers. | |

Everyone Has a Special Move: All players have a Sigil, which lets them use a supernatural ability. For instance, the Banda-kun can turn invisible while Shuka can control the movements of string-like objects. | |

Sliding Scale of Free Will vs. Fate | |
| Darwin's Game (Manga) / int_129074bf | comment |
Sliding Scale of Free Will vs. Fate: Though Magnolia and Towa can see the future, the future's not set in stone. If they foresee a Bad Future, it is because they can take measures to prevent it. If the future was set in stone, then they wouldn't be getting visions in the first place. Only a future they can change will be shown by their Sigil. | |

Defeat Means Friendship | |
| Darwin's Game (Manga) / int_19769f50 | comment |
Defeat Means Friendship: Kaname gets a lot of clan members and allies this way: After Kaname defeats Shuka in battle, the next day she became much friendlier and was outright smitten with him. Kaname even noted it's like her personality changed overnight. He gets The Florist and Ryuuji to temporarily ally with him after he has defeated them. A bit of Enemy Mine was also involved, especially on the latter's part. Ouji spotted Kaname and was about to snipe him, but Kaname easily cornered him before he could take the shot. In a sense, the outcome of the Duel with the Pirate King event was a double-layered version of this, all thanks to Kaname. By locking out the enemy team's victory condition, Kaname gives his own teammates leverage in negotiating a favorable surrender since the alternative would cause unnecessary casualties for both sides. After accepting Kaname's conditions, Kouu, the enemy team's leader, can't figure out which of them actually won. | |

Playing with Fire | |
| Darwin's Game (Manga) / int_1cc9f5e5 | comment |
Playing with Fire: The unnamed female character who appears for 2 pages before being killed off by Wang, leader of the "Eighth" clan, has the ability to throw pyrokinetic bombs. She later stars in the omake strips, where the fact that she was killed before readers even knew her name (Akane Shidou) is brought up several times. Sig of the "Eighth" clan can envelop his body in intense flame. This puts the Florist at a severe disadvantage, as his plants are incinerated on contact. | |

Crapsack World | |
| Darwin's Game (Manga) / int_21d70919 | comment |
Crapsack World: After the Greed Invasion, Kaname's world fell into ruins with society falling apart and dangerous Greed everywhere. Japan, though shown to be heavily affected, is actually one of the safer places due to the abundance of Sigil users, especially those that can detect the Greed masquerading as humans. Other parts of the world with far less Sigil users are nowhere near as lucky, with survivors unable to trust each other. | |

Heart Is an Awesome Power | |
| Darwin's Game (Manga) / int_3496b29a | comment |
Heart Is an Awesome Power: Kaname is of the opinion that even seemingly weak Sigils can be incredible if people use them right. He has yet to be proven wrong. Some examples: Ryuji thought his Living Lie Detector ability was worthless. Then Kaname declared to Wang that he didn't consider Ryuji a friend and that he was just an ally of convenience, which his Sigil called bullshit on, proving to Ryuji that Kaname actually feels the exact opposite. Ryuji was incredibly moved by it and was grateful to know his Sigil wasn't so worthless after all. Ouji thought his Super-Senses was too limited to be useful in most circumstances. But then he met Kaname and was encouraged to be more open-minded about his Sigil. He then literally shifted his perspective and discovered that his Sigil wasn't limited to ground-bound perspectives and that he could see things from the sky. After the Greed invasion developed to the point that they impersonated the people they killed, previously weak combat Sigils became absolutely vital to differentiating real humans from the Greed masquerading as humans. | |

Deus ex Machina: In the final chapter, the First Guardian (implied to be God, or at least one of the creators of all World Lines) restores Kaname's pruned World Line and sends him back home as thanks for stopping the Greed; without them, he would've been stuck as a wandering spirit, unable to do anything but observe the World Line without Greed or Darwin's Game. | |

Bittersweet Ending | |
| Darwin's Game (Manga) / int_40cc0c7e | comment |
Bittersweet Ending: The end of the Greed is caused by Kaname completely removing Shirogane (the mastermind behind the Darwin's Game server, the Greed, and Shigeo's Start of Darkness who also stole Snow/Jitter's World Class Hub powers) from existence. With the collapse of the Greed's existence, Kaname becomes a wandering spirit without a physical body as he observes a World Line where everyone is happy (since Shion never dies to a Greed, the Darwin's Game server never comes to exist), but the price was the pruning of all World Lines affected by the Greed, including his native World Line where Rein became its Guardian. Though he's invited by the First Guardian to Ascend to a Higher Plane of Existence, Kaname refuses the invite and just wants to return to his native World Line and the friends he fought alongside. As thanks, the First Guardian restores Kaname's pruned native World Line and sends him home. Even if the world of the Sunset Ravens is heavily scarred by the Greed, the Greed are no more and the Ravens are finally together for good. | |

Adaptational Superpower Change: The anime had characters give Glowing Eyes of Doom whenever they used their Sigil (a la Darker than Black); in the manga, no such detail happens when Sigils are used.

Time Skip: The story has plenty of time skips, and the ones below are the most significant: After Kaname wins the Treasure Hunt event, there is a one-month time skip. After Sunset Ravens defeats Eighth in a clan war, there is another one-month time skip. After the Sailors vs Pirates event, the surviving D-Game players spend some time in the onis' World Line, but by the time Kaname gets back, five years had passed in his own world. After Kaname makes contact with Izaya in the past, they spend six months hiding from the Big Bad. | |

Heroic Sacrifice: Police officer Terada initially doesn't believe Kaname's claim of being chased by a panda man. When Banda-kun breaks into the police box, Terada winds up getting stabbed, but still uses his last moments to help Kaname get away. In the climax, the old Seigen is implied to have used himself as bait to pinpoint Shirogane's location in the Pacific Ocean. Despite failing to kill Shirogane with a Suicide Attack, his sacrifice is implied to be the reason Kaname infiltrates the island six months later via his new powers as Guardian of the World Line. | |

He Knows Too Much: Executioners, subordinates of the Game Master of Darwin's Game, are sent out to deal with law enforcement personnel that have either become aware of the game or end up participating in it. Trinity agents attempt to pull this trope on Ayanokouji when they catch him communicating with a detective that got caught up in the Treasure Hunt event, though he wipes their memories so that they report back to their leader that they got nothing. | |

The Reveal | |
| Darwin's Game (Manga) / int_6b2b3b59 | comment |
The Reveal: After thoroughly analyzing the Darwin's Game app itself, Rain became absolutely certain of a few things about the GM. The real purpose of Darwin's Game is to spread Sigils around. The more wielders of powerful Sigils, the better. Also, the app doesn't need an internet connection to work, which could only mean the GM has a Sigil that can manipulate electromagnetic waves. | |

Immune to Bullets: The Doume have a Sigil that makes all projectile weapons pretty much useless against them. To defeat them attackers need to use close-combat weapons, which is extremely dangerous. Defeating just one is incredibly difficult at the best of times, and only players with the most powerful or otherwise well-suited Sigils can hope to stand a chance. | |

Time Travel: The island the participants of the Island Hunting Game are transported to has a statue on it that is identical to the one in Shibuya, including the chunks taken out when D-Game players died on it. Ouji wonders if this means the game teleported them to the future for this event. The island itself is called the "Country of Japan", and Arabaki all but states that this is the case... but makes it sound more like an alternate universe version. However, there are hints that point towards this, from the discovery of the island's monsters in Columbia by US Forces, to a USN Task Force sailing toward the island near the event's climax. It's revealed that the island was actually ripped from an alternate universe. | |

People Puppets: One application of The Florist's Sigil; by attaching vines to other players and injecting special drugs, he can control them. They have to be alive, however, and there is a limit to what he can compel them to do; he can't force them to take actions that are wildly out of character or completely suicidal, but getting them to hunt and kill others on his behalf is a simple ask. Once the vines are removed, they return to normal. | |

Bystander Syndrome | |
| Darwin's Game (Manga) / int_c83f40d8 | comment |
Bystander Syndrome: Enforced by the powers-that-be of the D-Game. Whenever a game starts, they send a signal that affects every non-player in the area within several hundred meters which leaves them in a trance and unaware of anything happening. Move far away enough from the starting point though and a player can encounter unaffected people, which was how Kaname managed to get a police officer's help early on since he was in a moving train. For larger events, the range limit is increased to the entire event area and perhaps beyond and hypnotises all non-players into leaving the area. | |

Point of Divergence | |

Point of Divergence: A significant "Turning Point of Fate" leads to the creation of a new World Line. One such moment was thirty-five years before Chapter 1, when Shion Takanashi, Shidou Izaya's wife, was mysteriously murdered by a Greed. Notably, when Kaname makes the Greed's existence collapse in the climax, the World Line where Shion is never murdered asserts itself, causing Kaname's native World Line to be pruned. | |

Exact Words: This comes into play during the Treasure Hunt game. Kaname's team deduces that the requirement that players need to collect three rings to survive if the clear condition isn't meant means that there's a second, hidden treasure that the rules are alluding to without explicitly mentioning. This also means that everyone who wasn't killed during the event gets to live if the treasure is found. | |

Language Drift: Despite the remarkable fact that the island natives speak Japanese like the main characters, one key term is different. To them, Sigils are the power to see the future that their shrine maidens inherited from their ancestors; to the main characters, Sigils cover every power granted by Darwin's Game. After they join Kaname in his world though, they started using the word like Kaname and the other people of his world do. | |

Suicide Attack | |
| Darwin's Game (Manga) / int_f13a0451 | comment |
In the climax, the old Seigen is implied to have used himself as bait to pinpoint Shirogane's location in the Pacific Ocean. Despite failing to kill Shirogane with a Suicide Attack, his sacrifice is implied to be the reason Kaname infiltrates the island six months later via his new powers as Guardian of the World Line. | |

Deadline News: While the reporter was doing a broadcast of the damaged Moyai Statue, strange animals appear and kill her, alerting Darwin's Game GM to an invasion and forcing him to set up an impromptu Game Event with the goal of exterminating those animals. | |

Trial by Combat | |
| Darwin's Game (Manga) / int_f617419c | comment |
Trial by Combat: The people of "Japan" had a divine trial as a tradition decades ago: the accused gets pitted against one of his tribe's warriors in a battle to the death, and the survivor is considered to be the one in the right, as it was believed that divine intervention gave him the power to win the trial. The current chief got rid of the trial because he considered it cruel and unnecessary. Rick purposely throws Kaname into one with the implication of throwing his own life away to clear him, but the natives discover that each understood the other's intentions during the trial and had zero intention to kill. The natives ultimately understand that Kaname was never their enemy. | |

No-Gear Level | |
| Darwin's Game (Manga) / int_f7d66b6f | comment |
No-Gear Level: Kaname goes through this late in the series. By going back to a point before he got his Sigil through Mental Time Travel, he has to try to stop the initial Greed incursion without his powers, the strong bonds he built with his allies, or the physical conditioning he went through after joining D-Game. | |

Shown Their Work | |
| Darwin's Game (Manga) / int_ffad4e9f | comment |
Shown Their Work: The game ends up actually being a reasonable demonstration of different evolutionary advantages. While murdering everyone who opposes you initially seems like a good strategy, no matter how powerful you are you will eventually run into a problem you can't solve on your own. You will need allies. And turning your enemies into allies is a better use of energy than assuming everyone is against you. Cooperation is one of the reasons humans are at the top of the food chain instead of bears. | |
