Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })Star Driver: Kagayaki no Takuto (translated as Radiant Takuto or Takuto of the Radiance) is a Humongous Mecha anime series created and animated by BONES and produced by Aniplex, which ran as part of the Fall 2010 lineup and has been licensed for the USA by Bandai Entertainment. Episodes are being added to Hulu and can be found here. US viewers can also watch this show at Crunchyroll.On Southern Cross Island, Wako Agemaki and her fiance Sugata Shindo find a boy passed out on the beach. This boy is Takuto Tsunashi, a transfer student at Southern Cross High, who was so excited to begin his new life that when he missed his ferry, he swam across the sea himself.So begins Star Driver, a show about high school and the joy of youth.Beneath the school, a sinister organization called the Glittering Crux Brigade is trying to awaken the giant robot Cybodies. To this end, they are kidnapping the four Maidens of the island to undo the four seals on Zero Time, a hidden dimension that captures active Cybodies so they can't exist in the real world. They've broken one, and Wako is next up. Takuto is too late to save her, and the Glittering Crux escapes into Zero Time... but then Takuto follows them, calling his own Cybody Tauburn and transforming into the Galactic Pretty Boy.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); })So begins Star Driver, a show about mecha and lots and lots of camp.Star Driver is an eclectic combination of Humongous Mecha, high school, shonen, and Magical Girl tropes that brings together Soul Eater director Takuya Igarashi and Revolutionary Girl Utena writer Yoji Enokido for their first joint project since Ouran High School Host Club. It's notable for its beautiful animation, bizarre Jigsaw Puzzle Plot, FAAAABULOUSness, eclectic cast of characters, love of Genre-Busting, and numerous Shout Outs to popular anime shows.This page has a character sheet, as well as Crowning Moment of Awesome, Funny, Heartwarming, and Tear Jerker pages.A Compilation Movie, with about three minutes of new footage, called Star Driver: The Movie was released on February 9th 2013. | |

Does This Remind You of Anything? | |
| Star Driver / int_14ed6ab7 | comment |
Does This Remind You of Anything?: Boy, there sure are a lot of guys queuing up to break Wako's 'seal', aren't there? The maidens having to be nude to be the power source of the mech. The end of episode 8, what with all that prolonged, synchronized panting from Takuto and Sugata... Then there's Head in episode 16, where he talks about people with weak marks "wither" in sight of his "sword"... A more disturbing instance would be Mizuno's panicking when Head was about to break the West seal | |

Poor Communication Kills: Sora was in love with her fiancé Ryousuke, but Ryousuke never openly revealed that he felt the same way, leading Sora to think that her feelings were unrequited, and so she started to fall for Tokio instead. Ryousuke only reveals that he did love Sora by giving her the pocketwatch that he always kept that had her picture after it is revealed she is pregnant with Tokio's child, Takuto. | |

Chekhov's Gun: Takuto bringing out Sugata's knife in episode 19 as Sugata's birthday present to Wako began as a symbolic gift representing Sugata's care for Wako, but Wako puts it to use later in the episode. Kanako's Cool Ship. Good for evacuations. | |

Ordinary High-School Student | |
| Star Driver / int_22e5329e | comment |
Not entirely true. Glittering Crux members approach each other out of costume on a couple occasions, but feel the need to confirm they have the right person with their organization's secret handshake the first time they do so. There's no sign the costumes fool anyone (if they've met in-costume, they can recognize each other out-of-costume and vice-versa), so much as everyone puts some effort into pretending to be Ordinary High School Students when not fighting each other in Zero Time. | |

Parental Abandonment | |
| Star Driver / int_297ab1b9 | comment |
Parental Abandonment: It seems that Takuto was raised by his grandfather and he's searching for his absent father Tokio Tsunashi, better now known as Head. During the events of the final episode it becomes an attempt at Offing the Offspring on Head's part, if his tone is any indication Mizuno and Marino were also abandoned by their father, and their mother left to search for him. Well, Mizuno was abandoned. Marino just came into being because Mizuno's mother left. | |

Deconstructor Fleet: Star Driver has taken elements of just about every genre it's drawn influence from (Humongous Mecha, Slice of Life, Magical Girl, Romantic Comedy), taken tropes inside those genres, and put them out on full display, playing with them, playing them straight, lampshading them and making them work (thus far) into something nearly predictably entertaining. | |

| Star Driver / int_334b7f3a | comment |
Cryptic Background Reference: The series has a good deal of mysteries that are never explained: The ruins hidden on the island and what sort of civilization might've inhabited them are never really expounded upon. The drama club's play (and by extension its sequel, the North Maiden's Sam the Squid-Piercer story) seems to parallel whatever conflict occurred between Samekh and Ayingott that resulted in Ayingott being crushed in Samekh's hand, but this is never told to the audience with full disclosure either. Why Ayingott has much more sentience than the other Cybodies and why it's "evil" are never even hinted at. Whatever the Entropeople are and who that second, boyish voice Sarina speaks with are not explained. That second voice is actually Vice President. | |

| Star Driver / int_34f8042a | comment |
Gratuitous French: "Apprivoise", the activation phrase for any Cybody, is French for "tame". The Star Swords are named after gems reworked in French. "Sapphire" becomes "Saphir", "Diamond" becomes Diamant, and so on. | |

This Cannot Be!: Most of Takuto's opponents have this reaction when he comes up with a new way to win in every battle. Head's in episode 16 is probably the most notable, since he is usually so smug and confident. | |

OnceAnEpisode | |
| Star Driver / int_37499c8 | comment |
Once an Episode: One of the Maidens will sing her song, which means it's fightin' time. Everyone will enter Zero Time, where Takuto meets his opponent and will apprivoise, causing Tauburn to break through the fabric of Zero Time to answer the summons; once inside Tauburn, Takuto will transform into his Galactic Pretty Boy outfit. After this, we're shown a Humongous Mecha duel; upon Takuto's victory, the opponent's Cybody will explode at least once on the ground and then, for some reason, in the air. Subversions abound; on a few occasions there is no fight, once or twice there's a fight but no song (such as when the Maiden is occupied), and very rarely the song starts, but the fight does not. This is demonstrated best with the East Maiden, whose song only appears twice, and only one of those occasions accompanies a battle. | |

Character Development: Particularly noticeable with Mrs. Watanabe by episode 12, to the point that one of her personal 'staff' deigns the comment, "She's having more fun these days, isn't she?" And although a few of the cast's development (including her own) begins early on, it progresses at a much quicker pace for the rest of the Glittering Crux (and even the main trio) from this episode on. | |

Sufficiently Analyzed Magic: Professor Silver doesn't quite know what he's doing—the Cybodies are just that mysterious—but he does an incredible job with what he's got. Take, for example, his development of the Overphase System, which he likens to a "phase 3.5"; the 3.5 is inaccurate because according to Word of God, the fourth phase entails nothing but the unsealing of the ultimate Cybody, King Samekh. The guy made up a further level of synchronization. | |

You Have Failed Me | |
| Star Driver / int_474e3977 | comment |
You Have Failed Me: A relatively benign example. Glittering Cross members lose their Star Driver (pilot) status if they let a valuable Cybody be destroyed. It seems to be mostly a formality, with loss of bragging rights as the only evident consequence; as is eventually pointed out on-screen, the organization still relies on things like the Science Guild's technology and the Otona Bank's financial support even after the leaders of those brigades have lost their Star Driver status. Once they develop the means to restore broken Cybodies, regaining Driver status appears to be as simple as volunteering to have one's Cybody regenerated. | |

Paper-Thin Disguise | |
| Star Driver / int_48b9731f | comment |
Paper-Thin Disguise: The Glittering Crux members may wear very extravagant outfits and wear very large masks, but they do absolutely nothing to change their very unique and noticeable hairstyles between their secret and normal identities besides maybe wearing a hat. Even if their masks cover half their faces and they do a decent job of changing their voices, the audience can immediately figure out who is a Glittering Crux member. Nearly the entire cast, on the other hand, are routinely shocked when a Glittering Crux member reveals their true identities. Not entirely true. Glittering Crux members approach each other out of costume on a couple occasions, but feel the need to confirm they have the right person with their organization's secret handshake the first time they do so. There's no sign the costumes fool anyone (if they've met in-costume, they can recognize each other out-of-costume and vice-versa), so much as everyone puts some effort into pretending to be Ordinary High School Students when not fighting each other in Zero Time. | |

Power Perversion Potential | |
| Star Driver / int_4d070ee3 | comment |
Power Perversion Potential: Benio's first phase can certainly be played this way - it's activated with a kiss. While not specific to any one individual, those who don't get frozen during Zero Time could certainly use that fact in this way. Ginta uses his first phase to spy on Wako while she's purifying herself. When Kou and Madoka were possessing Takuto and Sugata's bodies, they were only a few seconds from making out with each other before Wako showed up. Kinda deconstructed with Ryousuke, whose X-Ray vision type First Phase theoretically allows for this, but unfortunately makes him see the affair between his fiancé Sora and Head. He then takes out his own eye in an attempt to stop it. | |

Super Dickery: The preview for the last episode includes a voiceover from Wako saying "Takuto...it would have been better if I'd never met you." In the actual episode, Wako has an internal monologue where she states she sometimes wishes that Takuto had never come to the island and they'd never met, because things would be easier and she wouldn't endure the pain that comes from loving him along with Sugata, concluding the monologue with "You don't know how much it hurts to deeply love two people at once." | |

Eating the Eye Candy: Tiger and Jaguar take entirely to much enjoyment out of Takuto showing the Drama Club his "mark" (which, of course, is on his chest...). Okamoto loves to look at pretty boys.

Meaningful Name | |
| Star Driver / int_6bda9a30 | comment |
Meaningful Name: Eva uses Christianity, RahXephon uses Mayan...Star Driver uses Phoenician. Pretty much every Star Driver's name has a connection to the Phoenician letter their Cybody is named after. Tsunashi can be written as 十 (he wears a Tau, hence Tauburn, which means "mark"), Sugata can be written as 丰, and Agemaki can be written as 丫. Sakana-chan (Fish-girl in the translation) is so named because her mark, "Nun", means "fish." Yet another clue before the reveal of Keito as the East Maiden was that Nichi is written as 日, which looks just like the Phoenician letter heth (meaning "wall" in Phoenician). In the play in episode 22, the main trio are playing characters named after the English translation of their letters. Takuto is Mark, Sugata is Columner (Column/Pillar), and Wako is Kleis (feminine form of Klaus, which sounds like 'Claws' which are hook shaped.) | |

The Chosen One: Played with. The members of Glittering Crux consider themselves "the chosen of humanity," but there's a definite hierarchy and Star Drivers with true emblems consider themselves the real chosen, with Samekh's Driver named "King" over them by default. However, of all Cybodies Tauburn is the only one specifically designed for use by humans, making Takuto (as the bearer of the Tau emblem) the ultimate Chosen One of the series. | |

And the Whams just keep on coming: Episode 17 has Head and his division Vanishing Age usurp the entire Glittering Crux and BLOW UP the cybercaskets, effectively removing all pilots without "true marks" from the battles with Takuto. Episode 23. Sugata joins the Glittering Crux. Holy shit. Episode 24: Keito kisses Sugata, Keito reveals herself to Wako and Takuto, Sugata reveals himself to Wako and Takuto, Head breaks the East Maiden's seal, and King Samekh is revived. Episode 25. Head Gundam Jacks Samekh. Sugata sacrifices himself to seal up Samekh. | |

| Star Driver / int_92286f7f | comment |
Precursors: Cybodies were created by the Entropeople who inhabited the Earth since at least the Age of Dinosaurs. At some point, they left Earth and the Cybodies behind Neglectful Precursors: They left powerful weapons (including one that can destroy a planet) to be sealed by humans and except for Sarina refused to interfere or help | |

Given the whole, you know, kill the world and travel through time to fulfill an insane fantasy ploy he just tried to pull, you'd think maybe there'd be some kind of rejection or punishment... | |

Mood Dissonance: There is a Leitmotif where the maiden of the week sings a song while the pilots activate their mecha, each according to her character type. The first by Sakana is a haunting melody of loss and longing, while Wako's song focuses on rebirth. Mizuno's song is about blue skies and sunshine, while Keito sings about things starting to pass on. Put another way, Sakana sings about winter, Wako sings about spring, Mizuno sings about summer and Keito sings about autumn. | |

In episode 20, we find out that Head, then known as Tokio Tsunashi, was in a similar position to his son, with Ryousuke Katashiro being Sugata, and Sora being Wako. It... doesn't turn out well. According to the official pamphlet, George and Tetsuya are both in love with Benio. Wako and Keito for Sugata. | |

You Gotta Have Blue Hair: Sugata has blue hair, and numerous other characters have odd hair coloring. In fact, it seems that the more important a character, the more they follow this trope. Even if they don't have oddly colored hair, they'll at least, like Keito, have hair that is more vibrantly colored than all the background characters. | |

His level of interest on any particular girl hasn't been delved into yet, though he is protective of anyone he cares about, seen more clearly in later episodes when it comes to Wako or Takuto. Takuto reveals to be one after an interview states that he had a crush on Hana, but backed off since Hana had feelings for Natsuo. George and Tetsuya for Benio, who's in love with Sugata. | |

| Star Driver / int_c26e2b1 | comment |
New Powers as the Plot Demands: Takuto is a major offender with this trope, though with him being a Showy Invincible Hero and based on the previously unexplored level of camp in the series, it's all but expected. What's not expected is Wako invoking this in Episode 19. | |

Shout-Out | |
| Star Driver / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: Takuto's first foe is a Crux Star Driver and boxer codenamed Raging Bull. In episode 3, Kanako says that her husband is "the head of Grand Tonnerre Foundation" which also shares the same name of the company that Eclair Tonnerre's family owns in Ouran High School Host Club. The "STAR DRIVAAAAAAAAAAAA" Eyecatch is likely a reference to the eyecatch from Gunbuster. Wako's fantasy in episode 4 is very reminiscent of Ouran, with roses all around the screen and a "caption" done in the style as the ones used constantly in that series. The book Tiger referenced in episode 4 was very clearly Little Black Sambo. There's a poster of the cover of the opening theme single, "Gravity 0", in Mizuno and Marino's room. "I think playing the piano suits you more than carrying a kendo stick." Also, the line about Mizuno being a weirdo outcast and a "witch." Katashiro's past shares some similarities with Mikage/Nemuro's, with Head/Tokio/Reiji playing Akio to Sora's Tokiko. Hell, the series' premise itself has many parallels with Utena, as does the antagonist. This makes a lot of sense when you realize that Star Driver's writer, Yoji Enokido, also wrote a large portion of Utena. The boxing ring that forms during Takuto and Kanako's fight looks conspicuously similar to the one from Mobile Fighter G Gundam's second OP. Madoka and Kou. Let's see, two girls, one is blonde, the other turquoise-haired, they're a couple ... Hmmm... The main branches of the Glittering Star and Takuto's Galactic Pretty Boy costume take inspiration from Antoine de Saint-Exupéry's The Little Prince. The author's earlier novel Night Flight likely provided the source for the drama club's name. More than that, in Episode 4 Takuto outright says "The essential is invisible to the eyes." Sugata's King's Pillar looks a lot like the Seven Swell, only the former is blue while the latter is the entire rainbow. During Head's Evil Gloating in Episode 25, he says "The young think they can overcome anything with spirit." Becomes something of a Brick Joke later on when Takuto delivers a knock-out blow to him, a la Kamina/Simon. Wako's Cybody, Wawna◊, was based off of Sailor Moon. Ayingott going to town on Tauburn have more than a passing resemblance to Berserk Eva 01 vs Sachiel. | |

Troperiffic | |
| Star Driver / int_c89f0472 | comment |
Troperiffic: Practically everything in this series has been done before. However, instead of being a Cliché Storm, this series seems to enjoy playing with and parodying various tropes found in other anime such as Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann, Code Geass, and the writer's previous works (Revolutionary Girl Utena, Ouran High School Host Club, and FLCL). There's even a bit of Sailor Moon since the same scriptwriter worked on both. It lampshades these tropes (or at least makes them very obvious) rather frequently, so much so that it could develop into a blatant Deconstruction. For some bizarre reason, this all works to make the series almost scarily entertaining. | |

Threesome Subtext: Sugata and Wako are engaged, but he just wants her to be happy. Takuto is clearly in love with Wako. Wako flat-out says she's in love with both of them, and for bonus points is a Yaoi Fangirl. Oh, and Sugata is Ambiguously Gay. Although Word of God implied they hooked up after the series ended, keep in mind who we're dealing with. | |

Later, when she volunteers to participate in the Drama Club's play, Wako calls her "a Young Gangan". Young Gangan is the name of the magazine in which the Star Driver manga is serialized. | |

Attack Drone: After Takuto uses the "It'll Be Alright" spell given to him by Mizuno in battle, the pieces of Tauburn's skirt suddenly fly off and start shooting down the balls of energy the enemy was using against him. | |

Beware the Nice Ones | |
| Star Driver / int_fccd06b6 | comment |
Beware the Nice Ones: Sugata's maids, Tiger and Jaguar, are well-versed in taijutsu, according to their bios and the fight in episode 6, not to mention their real jobs: killing Sugata should he try to leave the island. Takuto himself could also count as this. Also, Sugata himself. Wako proves that even she has lines you don't cross with her in Episode 19. | |

Theme Naming | |
| Star Driver / int_fd94c4ac | comment |
Theme Naming: Everything from the costume design to the character and cyberbodies names to Benio's ability makes much more sense when you realise that they are all based on the Phoenician Alphabet◊. Rock Theme Naming: Star Swords are typically named for types of gems or stones. | |
