Aw, Look! They Really Do Love Each Other | |
| Loveless (Manga) / int_10dcbe05 | comment |
Aw, Look! They Really Do Love Each Other: Ritsuka and Soubi probably have one of the most complicated relationships in the series. Argue, argue, kiss, argue, hug, argue, argue, kiss... | |

Feel No Pain | |
| Loveless (Manga) / int_19211122 | comment |
Feel No Pain: The Zeroes. However, it backfires, as the lost of pain also made them deprived of a sense of temperature. Soubi eventually beats the male Zero pair., as no sense of pain = no ability to counteract hypothermia. | |

| Loveless (Manga) / int_19769f50 | comment |
Defeat Means Friendship: Not always the case, but it certainly became something of a history lesson for Natsuo and Youji. Hell, they went from being Ritsuka and Soubi's enemies to living with Soubi. | |

Crapsack World | |
| Loveless (Manga) / int_21d70919 | comment |
Crapsack World: Not only is the school for Sentouki attacked, but the ones dealing with the mess are the kids. The only adults that actually make any effort to physically help are blinded or end up as a depressed mute. In total, one person was blinded (in a very disturbing manner), one person went missing, one was knocked out and left outside before later being kidnapped, two kids were left unconscious on the floor, four unknown entities were injured, one had a mental breakdown and started crying out of fear, one was an emotional wreck, and one didn't know what to think. Then there's the fact that a portion of the Old School was damaged. This was all done by one guy and his partner, who ended up being held captive. The Dreaded then took it upon himself to send the previous emotional wreck a text message stating he would trade the kidnapped for the captive. Bitch. It's hard not to see the setting as this with all of the supremely screwed up stuff that happens in it. | |

Chekhov's Gun | |
| Loveless (Manga) / int_22cf536c | comment |
Chekhov's Gun: Soubi introduced himself to Ritsuka as Seimei's friend. However, it turns out that he despises Seimei more than anyone; even his former teacher, Ritsu. Also, Soubi was introduced as "he has no ears, so he's an adult". Though, if he hadn't lost his ears to Ritsu, he'd probably still have them. Soubi admits to himself in his fight with Natsuo and Youji that the things taught to him by Ritsu saved him. | |

The Bad Guy Wins: Seimei, in volume eight. Even worse, though Nisei was taken captive, he ended up getting him back through an exchange by using Kio as his own captive. In other words, no matter how it's looked at, he won. | |

Kick the Dog | |
| Loveless (Manga) / int_34dcfc96 | comment |
Kick the Dog: When they first come into the story, Natsuo and Youji kill an innocent dog because they found it annoying. Although their Heel–Face Turn does not excuse this behavior, they have become noticeably less violent since then; though there are still traces of their violence left. Then, there's also Seimei and Nisei, with their own evil stunts. | |

Psychopathic Manchild: Nisei. He takes delight in both stalking and torturing Soubi and Ritsuka, but refers to Soubi as 'mad' and 'creepy', and refers to himself as a pacifist. He's a stranger to the concept of love, but he also has no intention of ever finding out, even going so far as to call it sickening. | |

I'd Tell You, but Then I'd Have to Kill You | |
| Loveless (Manga) / int_4d7a7d53 | comment |
I'd Tell You, but Then I'd Have to Kill You: This is what Seimei says to Youji and Natsuo when they ask why he abandoned Soubi. Played straight and to horrifying effect when they start discussing books. Seriously. This is a rather twisted example, as it's less because of he doesn't want to say as it is the fact that he hates to be questioned. | |

Loving a Shadow | |
| Loveless (Manga) / int_516f986d | comment |
Loving a Shadow: Kind of. Ritsuka learns that Seimei is not at all the person that Ritsuka thought he was. While Seimei was caring (albeit a little distant) towards Ritsuka, he was, in reality, a cold, obsessive, and very violent man who was not above manipulating or murdering people who got in his way. When Ritsuka learns that even HE was manipulated by Seimei because of his twisted concept of 'love', Ritsuka is angry, but he forgives him. He still loves Seimei like he did when he was a child. Possibly a case of Stockholm syndrome, or there's some type of laser-guided mind-ray telling him to ignore the obvious. | |

Ambiguously Evil: Even though the Fearless pair aren't bad people, they're connected to Nisei, and fought Ritsuka and Soubi under his orders. Nisei being Seimei's Fighter, it's unknown where they really stand even though they associate with him. It doesn't help that Nisei calls Mimuro "senpai". | |

Flaw Exploitation | |
| Loveless (Manga) / int_8b3fe1cb | comment |
Flaw Exploitation: Seimei uses the fact that Soubi was once his Fighter by telling him that even now, he is still his Fighter. This helps him escape by telling Soubi to break the window, thus using both Soubi's abilities as a Fighter and the emotional weakness he has to their once shared name. | |

Third-Person Person | |
| Loveless (Manga) / int_8c681acc | comment |
Third-Person Person: Yuiko at first, though with Ritsuka's help she gets over it. There's also Yurio, who calls himself "Yuri-sama" (or "The Great Yuri" in Viz's release) instead of using any gendered pronouns. | |

There Are No Therapists | |
| Loveless (Manga) / int_96fbeaf | comment |
There Are No Therapists: Subverted in that Ritsuka does see a psychologist weekly, yet Misaki's abuse continues (and it's implied the older female psychologist has a crush on him — she takes him out on a "date" in an early volume). Justified, as it's his mother that sends him to therapy to try to get the "other" Ritsuka back. | |

"Not So Different" Remark | |
| Loveless (Manga) / int_984ef9ef | comment |
"Not So Different" Remark: Used when Ritsuka points out to Ritsu that the way Ritsu talks reminds him of Soubi. Yamato also makes this connection with Soubi on how she was always being told about Kouya and was waiting to meet her. Ai eventually sympathizes with Soubi when they are alone together before they meet with Ritsu. | |

Knight Templar Big Brother | |
| Loveless (Manga) / int_a0bb0b37 | comment |
Knight Templar Big Brother: Subverted with Seimei. To him, it doesn't really matter HOW you treat his younger brother Ritsuka. Seimei believes that Ritsuka belongs to him and will get rid of anyone getting in his way. Especially ironic because Seimei plays an actual Paladin character on the MMORPG "Wisdom Resurrection". | |

And That's Terrible: If it wasn't made clear enough that Seimei, even outright called a villain by Youji, was evil, we can't really help you. Not that Ritsuka was having any of this. Even Nakahira notices that he's not really a good person. | |

| Loveless (Manga) / int_a2b38d3b | comment |
Eye Scream: Alluded to, when Seimei plucks out not one, but both of Ritsu's eyes. It's made worse when we learn that he did it to write 'RITSUKA I'M BACK' on the wall. With BLOOD. Apparently leaving him a note in ink would have just been rude. Also, it was explained that Natsuo pulled out his own eye carelessly. Still didn't feel pain from it, though. | |

The much younger Ritsuka's "name" is Loveless; he struggles between his affection for Soubi and his own submissive personality that his brother took advantage of. | |

Right Makes Might: Averted. You can always count on Seimei to screw up your hero logic and twist it around enough to make someone else think they were wrong; even if they were right in the first place. Or he can tell someone they meant something they clearly didn't, hell, even convince someone that they belong to him. They'll believe it. If he can use your words and emotions against you, he will. | |
