JUST WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK I AAAAAAAAAAAAAAM?You are now hearing the voice ofKatsuyuki Konishi(Japanese) orKyle Hebert(English)Or, if you somehow know of theADVdub, Brett Weaver.Hey! HEY! HEY! HEY! HEY! HEY! HEY! HEY! You got guts navigating to my page unannounced. But I like guts, both the word and that one guy from thatreally dark Japanese comic book. You don't need to say anything. I know exactly why you're here. You're here to hear about the undisputed leader of Team Dai-Gurren, the manliest, most tenacious man in the known galaxy and all of the multiverse, THE MIGHTY KAMINA!What's that? Some of you reading this don't know who I am? Well then, dig the wax out of your ears and listen close. The reputation of Team Dai-Gurren goes far and wide. When people talk about its badass leader, the man of indomitable spirit and masculinity, they're talking about me, THE MIGHTY KAMINA!What do you mean I just repeated myself? Hey! Hey! Hey! Just who the hell do you think I am? This is my page and I get to make the rules here see! Now sit back, relax and listen real close as I tell you the story of the greatest hero that EVER LIIIIIIVED!To start, I'm from that one anime. You know the one that created the phraseBeyond the Impossible. What? Not ringing a bell. MUST I SPELL IT OUT FOR YOU? I'm fromTengen Toppa Gurren Lagann! Can't you tell from myBadass Cape, awesome blue hair,awesome sunglassesandkickass sword? You can't! Well then,LOOKS LIKE I BETTER START AT THE BEGINNING!Years ago I ventured onto the surface world with my old man, but back then I was too scared to go where no man has gone before, so my old man sent me back to my home village in Jiha.I spent years trying to convince the village chief that there was a world above the ceiling to the underground village, but he wouldn't believe me. Can you believe that? How could he doubt the mighty Kamina?Well, anyway, after many years and zany schemes trying to break out onto the surface, fate smiled upon me. First, I met this really smoking hot sniper babe,Yoko, let me tell you with melons like that it wasLove at First Sightfor this great epic specimen of manliness. Oh, and I guess a giant robot dropped down and tried to terrorize the village,but that's not nearly as important. I mean, I could've beaten it with just the village chief's sword andmy manly spirit.No, seriously,I totally could have.Unfortunately, I didn't get to show the village, or Simon and Yoko, how manly I am and...what? Who's Simon? Ah, how could I forget to mention Simon, myblood brother!Simon is from Jiha Village, just like me.When his parents died in an earthquake, Simon was left all alone, but thenI came along and took him under my wing, guiding him and mentoring him so that he would one day become a badass pinnacle of manliness just like me,which he definitely did, though it took him a little while. But anyway, enough about Simon for now. This is my page, so right now, we're gonna talk about me!IT'S MY TIME TO SHINE!Anyway, long story short, Simon and Yoko helped me bust out onto the surface world where we were all thrust into battle againstbeastmenand theirGunmen. I totally jacked me one of them and named it Gurren, pairing it off with Simon's tinier Gunman, Lagann.Togetherwe formed the greatest giant fighting robot that ever existed, the Gurren Lagann. Aw, yeah, baby!With ourCombining Mechaand manly spirit,Simon and Iwere unstoppable! Well, at least until around the time we fought some monkey dude. See, as thehuman resistance,led by yours truly, started gaining momentum we took on a giant fortress called Dai Gunzan. Since Simon's Lagann canfuse with other mecha and take control of themI came up with this brilliant plan to have him take control of the enemy's main base. And while the plan worked in the end, during the battle, I sort of... well...died. But luckily, not long after my demise,Simon's manly soul finally awakened, and he took up my mantle and finished what we started!But that's not where my story ends! Death means nothing to this man! A true man never dies, even if he is killed! When Simon and the others were in danger, trapped bysome creepy shadow dude'sweird hypno spell thingy, I was able to briefly return and speak to Simon one last time, allowing him and everyone else to break free from the trap andfinish things once and for all. And while I can't go back to my world, I totally get to chillax wherever I wanna these days. And hey, this internet is a pretty cool place if you ask me. I'm totally going to make a new Team Dai-Gurren. We'll call it TeamShin-Dai-Gurren so you know it's even more awesome than the first.

A little help here?The Berserker: I attack, then I attack, and then I attack some more. It's a great strategy, I don't know why not enough people use it.Beneath the Mask: All right, I was serious once already, let's not go opening up old wounds, that's not what I'm about. But, if you must know, I basically shout a lot to hide the fact that I might be one step away from having my own piss running down my leg. If I act like I know what I'm doing, then my enemy would think the same. Plus, it motivates others, Simon especially.Big Brother Instinct: My relationship with Simon.Big Brother Mentor: Hey!

If it does, then that makes me the most manly zombie in history!Deconstructed Trope: I might appear to be a straight example of being theHot-BloodedAll LovingIdiot Hero, but I'm actually this trope's version of those tropes. Mostly due to the fact as, like I said before, all the shouting is just a coping mechanism and I probably would've been dead a lot sooner if Simon and Yoko weren't keeping me in line.Reconstruction: Ironically, my death was actually caused by me trying to be smart and have a plan whenrushing headlong into actionand winging itproduced better results. Go figure. More importantly, I inspire people to get things done because I can boast and bruise with the rest of 'em. After all,just who the hell do you think I am?Decoy Protagonist: I'd say it sucks to be me because I only got to scream and shout for eight episodes, but life these days does have its perks.

Myself, as depicted inKen's Rage.(Best read in the voice ofAkira Kamiya. Channel the spirit of the64th master of Hokuto Shinkenthrough the following —Takehito Koyasu,Kunihiro Kawamoto, Hiroshi Abe,Hideo Ishikawa,Katsuyuki Konishi,Takaya Kurodaif you're speaking Japanese. For anyone speaking English, then it'sLex Lang, John Vickery, Robert Kraft,Kaiji Tang, andRobbie Daymond)(A giant Mook charges at Kenshiro. Take a wild guess as to what happens next.)ATATATATATATATATATATATATATA... OWATTA!!(The Mook is flattened by theHokuto Hykaretsuken - the Hundred Crack Fist. He gets back up, but...)Sono otoko wa mō shindeiru(He is already dead).Mook:...Nani?!HIDEBU!!(The Mook's body begins to twist and deform. Soon, splat!)Some people never learn. Are you okay, troper? Not harmed? Good. I tend to wander a lot in the wasteland. I'm never in one place for very long. It's fortunate you found me. Risky, but it's about time that I told you my story.I was created in the year 1983 by Tetsuo Hara and Yoshiyuki Okamura "Buronson"; having drawn inspiration fromMax Rockatansky(a character played by American actorMel Gibson),Bruce Lee(the Chinese martial artist of Jeet Kune Do fame), and Yūsaku Matsuda (a Japanese actor whose specialty was detectives). A single look at me, and the inspirations in question are more than obvious.My name is Kenshiro. Sixty-fourth successor to the assassin's style of Hokuto Shinken. Translated, it usually means 'Divine Fist of the North Star.' Just how dangerous is Hokuto Shinken, you ask? We attack by striking the opponent'skeiraku hiko, their pressure points.A single tapcan easily kill a person, as you have already witnessed.I was named afterKenshiro Kasumi, Ryuken's half-brother and the 62th successor to Hokuto Shinken. He is quite infamous in the Shanghai underworld asYánwáng, the King of Hell.I, along with Toki and Raoh came from the Land of Shura. We were later adopted by Ryuken (born Ramon Kasumi), and along with a fourth adopted brother named Jagi, began to train under Ryuken for the chance to become the sixty-fifth successor to Hokuto Shinken.During this time, I would also become engaged to my childhood sweetheart, Yuria. I spent my time training with Ryuken and my brothers and spending time with Yuria.Then, Ryuken named me as successor. Me, the youngest of the brothers. Toki was a foregone conclusion, but he told me that he was ill, thus it fell onto me.It could not happen at a worse time.In the year 199X, the world was bathed in nuclear fire. Raoh sought refuge in a bomb shelter on the training grounds. Toki sacrificed his place inside a bomb shelter for Yuria and myself. And somehow, Jagi survived.When we emerged from the shelter, the world we once knew was now gone. The strong preyed upon the weak. Warlords rose to fight for what remained of clean food and water. The flame of life was sputtering. Once it went out, then it could not be reignited.Jagi challenged me for the title of successor, believing that no younger sibling should outdo the elder. Looking back on it now, I shouldn't have shown him mercy. It would've save me plenty of grief down the line.Jagi turned a longtime friend, Shin, against me and kidnapped Yuria. These seven scars you see on my chest? That's Shin's handiwork, hence one of my many nicknames, 'The Man With The Seven Scars.'Thus, began my quest to get Yuria back.In my quest did revenge, I began to being hope back to the wasteland. Not even Jagi's attempts to stain my name couldn't stop my rise as a hero of the Wasteland. Only after my encounter with Shin, did I learn the truth from Jagi as to why Shin rose against me.Hewas the one who drove Shin to madness. My mercy can only go so far.Many warlords and bandits have fallen to my fists. Souther. The Fang King. The Golan Colonel. I would even challenge Toki, who complimented me on my growth. I made friends, even lost some good ones in my journey. But there was one more opponent that I had to face, my greatest challenge yet: our brother, Raoh.Our battle took place at the Hokuto training grounds. He gave me the fight of my life. But in the end, I was the victor. He even extended Yuria's life for several more years so we could live in peace.Then, he returned to Heaven, and reunited with Toki.A decade would pass. During this time, Yuria would pass away, and I would reunite with Bat and Lin, two children whom I knew in the past, now leading an army against the Celestial Emperor.My journey would eventually lead me back home, to the Land of Shura. Here, I would discover several revelations regarding my past. The first was that I had an actual brother names Hyoh, and that we both are descended from the main Hokuto bloodline.I would then face off against Kaioh, Raoh's elder brother in combat. Hokuto Shinken versus Hokuto Ryuken. While the latter is deadlier, the former is the more superior style. And I proved it by defeating Kaioh.My exploits are not just confined to only manga and anime.I also graced the fighting tournament scene with my presence. Not the first time, mind you, but that was the most prominent.My exploits was also retold in video game form, even visitingthe city of Eden in search for Yuria.Want to know why Hokuto Shinken is the ultimate style? I'll show you, troper.100% Heroism Rating: My exploits in the wasteland have earned both praise and respect, as I fight to protect the weak.All-Loving Hero: It's true that while I show compassion to even some of my enemies, I am not beyond ending themshould they are beyond redemption.And the Adventure Continues: Even now, I protect the innocent in any way I can.Badass in Distress: If I end up fighting someone the likes of Souther for example, I would lose the first round and end up having to be rescued. Sadly, when people rescue me, some of them die.Bad Powers, Good People: Hokuto Shinken is indeed an assassin's art, my personality is anything but.I am kind and compassionate to those who know me. If you're a villain...say your prayers.Bare-Fisted Monk: I prefer to fight barehanded. But I can use melee weapons if needed, preferring a pair of nunchucks.Bash Brothers: Once I cleared things up with Rei in regards to Jagi kidnapping his sister and not me, we made quite the formidable team.Battle Strip: Whenever I use theTenryū Kokyū Hō(Art of Dragon's Breathing), it destroys my jacket and shirt.Berserk Button:Like to torture and kill those weaker than you? Expect a housecall from me.Exploit and abuse childrenand women? You're condemned to die in more ways than one.Pretend to know anything of Hokuto Shinken? I shall show youtrueHokuto Shinken.Big Brother Worship: I always admired Raoh, untilhe became a warlord. I admitted as such to my brother in our final fight. I still feel this way for Toki, of course.Big Good: Of course.Black Comedy: You thoughtDeadpoolwas bad? You should see what I do to bandits who try and kill me.Boss Subtitles: One of my many titles isThe Savior Of The Post-Apocalyptic World.Bruce Lee Clone/No Celebrities Were Harmed:Kind of stating the obvious, troper.Bruiser with a Soft Center: What drew Yuria to me wasmy gentle heart and the will to help others.Bullying a Dragon: You think that by now that bandits and thugs would stop and rethink about their lot in life instead ofmaking me angry.Cain and Abel: Jagi is the Cain to my Abel.My actual blood brother Hyou was also the Cain to my Abel when he was driven mad by Hokuto Ryuken.Catchphrase: Be it in either English or Japanese, my favorite quote consists offour simple words:Omae wa mō shindeiru(You Are Already Dead)Charles Atlas Superpower: I had to train my ass off in order to get to where I am at. Toki, on the other hand was the prodigy and a shoe-in for the title of successor before his illness forced him out of the running.Cool Horse: Kokuoh, Raoh's elephant-sized stallion, of which I accquired after his passing.Cool Uncle: Ryu certainly thought so.Crazy-Prepared:Hokuto Shinken has techniques for just about any given situation. Case in point:Tenryū Kokyū Hō(Art of Dragon's Breathing): A normal human can only use up to 30 percent of his/her body's potential.This technique allows me to draw upon the remaining 70 percent.Hyakuretsu Ken(Hundred Crack Fist): My signature technique, in which I strike all 708 pressure points. The more destructive version is known as theSenjukai Ken(Thousand Hand Destruction Fist)Nishi Shinkū Ha(Two Finger Air Snatch): Did you fire an arrow or throw a knife at me? I'll catch it in between my index and middle finger and kindly return it, point-first.Zankai Ken(Remorse Fist): I strike the pressure point "Tōi", which leaves my victims (like Spade) with only 3 seconds (or 7 in the Anime) to live after I set them free.Use that short time window to think about your sins before your whole body is split in half vertically and explodes!Jū Hazan(Soft Breaking Slash): With a flurry of kicks, I movedMr. Heart's fat away in order to give him a deadly punch that caused him toburst like a balloon. YourKevlardisno good for defending against Hokuto Shinken!Jūji Zan(Cross Slash): This is the technique I used to defeatShin; but in fact,he died by commiting suicide.Despite our rivalry,I buried him honorably because he loved the same woman I did (Yuria).Zankai Sekiho Ken(Burden of Regret Walk Fist): By striking the point known as Shitsugen, the person affected will walk backwards, unable to stop. Very dangerous if you're near a cliff... or in Amiba's case, the edge of a high-rise -he fell to his death!TenhaKassatsu(Heaven Breaking Impalement): It was how I was able to not only counter Souther's Tenshō Jūji Hō (Heaven-Soaring Cross Phoenix), but it was also how I discovered Souther's inverted pressure points.UjōMōshō Ha(Fierce Flying Smash): With this technique, I defeated Souther; but although he died painlessly,his pyramid was destroyed under the weight of Shu's grieving spirit.Even if you have dextrocardia,that doesn't make me vulnerable to an untimely death!Seiei Kō(Sobering Sharp Hole): By tapping the pressure point Ryugan, it makes the person's body feel like a bundle of raw nerves, causing pain at the slightest touch.Musō Tensei(Enlightened Transmigration): This is Hokuto Shinken's ultimate technique, unlocked only by embracing true sorrow. It allows me to be immune to attacks and to use the techniques of past opponents.Deadpan Snarker: Pretty much my default expression.Death Glare: Statistically speaking, if a mook finds himself being stared down by me, his last wordsbefore dying is eitherNani?orHIDEBU!Determinator: Nothing will stop me from doing what's right.Does Not Like Guns: Firearms...so uncivilized. I prefer either a melee weapon or my bare hands.The Dreaded: Only to those who prey upon the weak. My name alone can make a bad guy rethink challenging me.Emotional Bruiser: Manly? Yes. Sensitive? Also, yes.The Fettered: When it comes to my morals and my beliefs, I will not budge. There is no compromise when it comes to that.Fingerpoke Of Doom: The whole aspect of Hokuto Shinken. A simple tap to a single pressure point will end you, troper. For example, should I tap the hidden point known as Gakuchū, your head would cave in and explode.Fountain of Expies: It appears I have inspired a group of imitators. FromJohnathan Joestar and his direct and indirect descendantstoa hunter of rare foodstoa wrongfully imprisoned man battling his way through a world even more hellish than mine is.There's even a doctor that has my appearance, though he's more closer to my brother Toki in terms of healing people.Friend to All Children: As an orphan before Ryuken took me in, I have a soft spot for children.Harming a childis a very quick wayto make me feel disrespected.Friend to All Living Things: I refuse to harm animals. Granted that the exception I made was that pack of wolves, but in my defense, I was left half-dead by Shin.Genius Bruiser: Ryuken was a firm believer that training the mind was just as important as training the body. I am quite knowledgeable in mythology and religion.Genre Savvy: Seriously?Feigning surrender,playing deadorbegging for mercynever works on me. It only makes villains' deaths bloodier and more gruesome!Glowing Eyes of Doom: If my eyes arean evil shade of crimson, then too bad. You just disrespected me.Good Is Not Soft: The innocent, weak and kind hearted deserve care and kindness. I will show as much as I can. But to those who relish in evil, I shall show no mercy.The Greatest Style: Let me say it again: Hokuto Shinken is invincible!Healing Hands: Hokuto Shinken can heal as well as harm. Although Toki was much better at the former than I ever was. Either way,I can cure various ailments, including muteness and blindness.The Hero: I do what I do not for recognition or for honor. The wasteland is a brutal and unforgiving place.People need something to believe in.Heroic BSoD: Yuria. Even now, I still miss her. We spent several years in peace until death took her.For a time, I was severely depressed following her death.Heroic Build:The first of the Shonen heroeswith a physique that could rival even a career bodybuilder.Hero with Bad Publicity: Both Boss Fang and Jagi are guilty of this trope, moreso with Jagi. That stopped once I dealt with Jagi once and for all.Hitman with a Heart: Hokuto Shinken is an assassin's art, but I am no assassin.Honor Before Reason: Sometimes, it gets me into trouble when I spare someone's life who just moments ago was trying to kill me. They won't get a second chance if they squander my generosity.Hurting Hero: Lesser men would have broken should they went through what I have went through. But that doesn't stop me in the least.I Have Many Names:The Man With The Seven Scars,The Savior Of Century's End, andThe Savior Of The Post-Apocalyptic World. Take your pick.Identical Grandson: Well, try Identical Nephew to my uncle, Kenshiro Kasumi, the 62nd successor to Hokuto Shinken. Rumor has it that I am his reincarnation, if they are indeed valid.Implacable Man: Are you running away from me? I'll find you. Did you drop a high-rise on me? I'll shrug it off. Did you leave me half-dead?Then you don't deserve to live any longer!In-Series Nickname: My friends usually call me Ken.Incorruptible Pure Pureness: Nothing will stop me from doing what is right.It Never Gets Any Easier: With every bandit and warlord I kill, it really doesn't get any easier. I bear that sadness as a burden. It keeps me focused.Lightning Bruiser: While not the fastest per se, my strength makes up for my lack of speed.Manly Tears: There is no shame in crying.Made of Iron: Those seven scars on my chest? Courtesy of Shinsticking his finger in my chest. Melee weapons to the face? Giant stone pillar? The occasional sucker punch?Might be a bit of bleeding, but I will be slightly annoyed.Nice Guy: I'm pretty affable to be around... as long as you're one of the good guys.Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: I spared Jagi in our first encounter, which led him to being the catalyst of all of my problems along with several others. On the second fight, I held no such compunctions.Through some cruel, sick, diabolical twist of fate, I sent Amiiba to an unsuspecting new world rather than the Hell he so justly deserves. I can only hope the inhabitants there see his true nature.Nice Job Fixing It, Villain: Want to know how I ended up in the race for the successor? Raoh taught me Kung Fu, which led me in joining the race.One-Man Army: So you brought an army to face me? Honestly, you should have brought more men.Power Copying: Thanks toSueishin, I can learn another's techniques just byfighting or observing them.I used Nanto Seiken techniques against Shew and Toki's and Rei's techniques against Raoh.Pre Ass Kicking One Liner: Before the ass-kicking ensues, I deliver these to my enemies.Rejected Apology: Most of the time, I tend toleave my enemies behind to die whenever they cry for forgiveness.Right Makes Might: My skills in Hokuto Shinken is only matched bymy desire to do what is rightand tonever give up.Shipper on Deck: Bat and Lin make a nice couple. Its one of the reasons why I pushed the both of them together.Single-Target Sexuality: I had my choice of women. But Yuria is the only woman that I truly loved.Sleeves Are for Wimps: What good are sleeves for in the wasteland? I prefer to go sleeveless.The Stoic: I look serious, but not most of the time. If I'm furious, then you'd probably wish I was stoic.Think Nothing of It: Why do I do what I do without demanding anything in return, aside from food and eater should I truly need it? It's the right thing to do.Took a Level in Badass: After my loss to Shin, I spent the better part of the year training so that a repeat would not happen again when I challenged him yet again.Tragic Hero: One of the reasons why I never settled down following Yuria's death is because I lose the people I care about. Wherever the master of Hokuto Shinken treads, death usually follows.Trash Talk: Most of the time, I'm pretty deadpan in my delivery, but the trope still qualifies.The Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny: I oncecame acrossthis duo ofJotaro and his grandfather, Joseph Joestar.Needlessly, I gave Jotaro a time-delayed death and left his grandfather to grieve over his broken body.Unexpected Successor: I beat out my other brothers to become the 64th successor to Hokuto Shinken.Unstoppable Rage:Dont. Make. Me. Mad.Seriously, don't.When He Smiles: Mostly whenever children are around. Despite everything that has happened with the world, children are still innocent.Wide-Eyed Idealist: It is surprising that I am not like the warlords and banditsout in the wasteland, where survivial of the fittest is the law of the land.


"Witches eat weak humans. And in turn, we eat those witches. It's the basic rule of this world."(This page is best read inAi Nonaka's orLauren Landa's voice.)*munch* *munch*Hmm? Who the hell are you?Piss off!...What? You're here to ask me aboutme? Hmph! Why the hell should I tell you about things I don't want you to hear?*crack**munch*So you're a fan ofthat Madoka showthat I'm from starrin' that rookie Sayaka's pinkheaded friend? Wait, you're watching that show forHomuraand not forME?! Well, I do respect her, but I don't get why you're findin' her more cool and badass than yours truly. After all,I'mthe only one who does things right in this world when it comes to being a magical girl.*crunch crunch*Huh? What's this? I actually have FANS? Fans who actually love me forbeingwhoIam?Andwhat Iend updoing eventually?*stops eating for a second*...Okay, if you really want to hear about me, I'll tell you, but make it quick. I'm a veteran magical girl, but I don't do what I do to help others. The only way I do things is to help myself. Like when I told that rookie Sayaka that it's best to let a familiar eat a few more humans to become a witch so you can get a Grief Seed from slaying it. And I do have a good reason for this, but I don't feel like telling you right now. And don't you ask! Or if you reallydocare about me enough to find out, then you'd read the rest of the page and highlight all the spoilers. But don't do it until you've finished watching the show!Or I WILL kill you.My weapon is a halberd that can separate into chained-together segments. Best thing for slaying witches with, since it's got range and flexibility too, and doubles as achain-rope-thingthat I can trap things with.*snarf*So there's my past, but I already told you what I think of tellin' you that. If you're nice enough to me, I'll letcha read on. Anyway, I made a contract with Kyubey to become a magical girl. (You'll find out why). I go around town slaying witchesjust because I can, mostly to collect their Grief Seeds. Then one day, some rookie magical girl Sayaka started infringin' onmyterritory (which I inherited frommy old friendMami), and everything changed from there. (Again.) So I meet Sayaka and her pinkheaded friend and fight them to the death, until I actuallydokill her, somehow. And then Kyubey reveals the truth -magical girls are justzombies, basically. So,as a zombie, I try to make the most of my life, once again.I start helping Homura and the others, helping to plan an attack onWalpurgisnachtand stuff. Then I watch poor Sayaka break down, until finally, she becomeseven more of a wreck than I wasand turns into a witch. I have no choice then but to protect Homura and pinkhead (who I now befriend and know as Madoka), and sacrifice myself to go down with Sayaka.But I'mBack from the Deadafter Madoka saves the day by wishing all witches out of existence, fightin' wraiths like nobody's business alongside Homura and Mami.InPuella Magi Madoka Magica The Movie: Rebellion, I'm back. And I go to school or somethin'.It's because I become trapped in some dream world that Homura thought up where we sappily fight as the "Puella Magi Holy Quintet" or some shit like that like some moeshitSailor Moonshow. Here, IthinkI'm livin' a normal happy life, but it turns out that we're trapped in Homura's witch labyrinth and Mami and I got brainwashed, something (to my credit) I helped her to find out. On the plus side, I'm livin' with Sayaka...Not that I enjoy it or anything!There's alsothat spinoff manga where I don't appear much, but you don't really care about that, do you? What youdocare about isthat other spinoffwith my apprentice, Yuma Chitose. Mami and I appear a lot more in that one, and I get to show my softer side and take in Yuma as her guardian, just like I did with my sister before that nasty shit happened. And there'sthat ''other'' spinoff, where yours truly gets to have another chance withmy old sempai Mami. It doesn't end well.*munch*So what are you here for, huh? The tropes? Okay, here they are. The page is still a work in progress, so you can add your own, but make sure they don't say anything bad about me!Except if they're about things I want to leave behind....*hands you an apple*Want one?And oh yeah, don't youdareconfuse me withthat German girlwho thinks she's so much better than me with her giant robot and crap!You say that I remind a lot of people about her?Who the hell cares?! *munch*Here are my tropes, dumbass:A Day in the Limelight: The first few chapters ofOriko Magicagive me ahugechance to show off my badasseryand my kindness towards kids.Another one about me is that drama CD and itsmanga. It's got Mami in it too.Anti-Hero:So afterI started to change my waysafter Kyubey's ugly truth instilled a smidge of sympathy in me for Sayaka, I became more of aKnight in Sour Armor. I tried to help her out - she shoulda listened to me and followed my selfish way of life - since otherwise she'd just have ended up hurting others, whichiswhat happened.Ax-Crazy: Initially, somewhat. Itismore fun to be that way.Back from the Dead:In theGrand Finale. Sayaka's pinkheaded friend Madoka revived me with her wish since I died fighting a witch.Badass Adorable: Badass, check. Adorable, check. You can probably say that about any of the other Puella Magi, but I embody the best of both.*crunch*Badass Decay: Apparently, according to theRebellionmovie,based on my ideals, I become an ordinary schoolgirl in Homura's dream world who goes to school happily. I just fight with the team as a supportin' member, with none of the badass qualities that made me awesomely twisted or sympathetic in the first place. Though this should be a good thing, it makes me less fearsome and competent than Sayaka, and I'm pretty much reduced to her sidekick... butthe perks of livin' together with her are great!And I bet a lot of you guys (and girls)wanted to see me in that school uniform too, you naughty people.Bash Sisters: I fight this way with Sayaka inRebellion,and even get her witch form to use a giant version of my spear. Though I don't get ta go berserk on everything, it still isawesome.Berserk Button: Don't ever waste food in my presence or IWILLkill you.Better to Die than Be Killed:After finding out the wholeAwful Truthand unable to save Witch!Sayaka, I basically had two choices: To destroy her Soul Gem in a final attack to put Sayaka out of her misery and die together, or win the fight the usual way and still become a Witch sooner or later and be killed by a Mahou Shoujo and die alone. I wanted to atone for my past, so guess which one I picked? I said I wanted toatone, you moron.Big Damn Heroes: I do this a lot, but don't take it personally. What pisses me off is when other people do this tome, like whenHomura saved Sayaka from me. But then I saved Sayaka from Elsa Maria, and againfrom a very pissed-off Homura. And then I top it off by protecting Madoka and Homura's escape from Witch!Sayaka... By goin' out with a bang.So give me some credit here.Big Eater: Hey, you'd have a huge thing for devouring any food too if yougrew up impoverished with little to eat! I just appreciate food more than others.Blood Knight: I've already got enough grief seeds on hand to last a freakin' lifetime. But I like fighting, and I'm damn good at it, so nowadays I pretty much just kill witches for the fun.Calling Your Attacks: I don't do this in the anime, butin the third drama CD,Mami insists on callin' myDoppelgänger Attack"Rossa Fantasma" - literally "Red Phantom".I actuallydosay it once during battle, but find it freakin' hilarious since I really can't take it seriously. Did it again during 'Rebellion' when we were all fighting the Nightmare: 'chain barrier' or some shit like that?Catchphrase: If ya didn't get the hint, I often ask people "You want some?" ("Kuu kai?"in Japanese) when offering 'em some of my food. Give it back if you don't want it, I can take 'no' for an answer, but don't youDAREfucking waste it.Chekhov's Gunman: So I appear in the title and credits sequences before actually appearing in the series. Probably because the nice guys who write my story would be too ashamed to put me in the series when it's pretendin' to be all sunshine and rainbows.I might be the magical girl that Kyubey and Mami talk about in Episode 3, who made a wish for someone else.This is all but confirmed in thethird drama CD.Cluster F-Bomb/Obligatory Swearing: Fuck yes. At least in some translations.Curb-Stomp Battle: I showed Sayaka how much of a newbie she was by thrashing her sorry ass with my superior skills and power in our first encounter! Hell of a lot of fight in her, though...little moron just wouldn't stay down.Cute Little Fangs: Ya they're cute! Look at 'em!Cynicism Catalyst:I made a shortsighted wish to bring followers to my father's congregation. When he realized what was going on, he killed the rest of the family. After this, I... I couldn't... so I decided not to help others again. From then on, I'd work for myself and only myself.Dark Action Girl: Well, fuckingduh. Y'think I'm just some boring, goody-goodyAction Girlwannabe like that Sayaka rookie?Alright, I get a little less dark later, but...Dark and Troubled Past: Let me explain.My father was a priest, but they excommunicated him for "heresy" and my family fell in poverty as he couldn't support us anymore. So I used my wish to get more followers for him...but when he found out it was just magic and not his ideas and words, he went crazy and killed himself and the entire family, leaving me as the only survivor...Darker and Edgier: Than the other main characters. Which makes mecoolerby default.Death Equals Redemption: I finally decided tochange my ways(slowly), first after realizing thatMagical Girlsare just zombies, and that I might as well be doin' something toremedythis situation, even a little. Finally, I made aHeroic Sacrificeto put the bewitched Sayakaout of her misery. I even get my finalmoment of clarity, where I realize thatI've always been wanting to protect someone.Depower/Doppelgänger Attack: I used to be able to createillusory copies of myself, kinda like that stupidNarutokid, but I lost this powerwhen my family died. It's all inthe third drama CD.Despair Event Horizon:After becoming the sole survivor of aPater Familicidecommitted by my father. But after Kyubey lets slip theAwful Truth, I get more and more of my humanity back, subverting this.However, in the PSP game, if you're Homura, you'd better not defeat Oktavia before I can save what's left of Sayaka, or you might damn me to becoming a witch myself - a witch called Ophelia.Died Happily Ever After:It was going to be eventual fate, following Madoka's wish. Like Mami, it wasn't supposed to happen until after Homura reunited with Madoka in Heaven...but then Homuragot her own ideas.Now I don't know what will happen.Dying Curse:In the PSP game, if you're Homura and you dare kill that idiot Sayaka before I at least have chance to talk to her, I'll have nothing to care about, and I'll curse everything on earth before I become a witch and tear you apart! Although in one of the routes, where Mami is still alive, I will be able to stop myself from becoming a witch and possibly help you fight Walpurgisnacht despite Sayaka's death.Elegant Gothic Lolita: I choose an outfit kinda like this for my fighting outfit, kind of a cross between this andShowgirl Skirt.Evil Redhead: Get this through your head, dumbass.Red is a cool, evil color. I have red hair. Black is also a cool, evil color, and Homura has black hair, but my hair color is way more unique.Though in her case, it makes sense later.Evil Sounds Deep: My voice wasn't always this sexy. Believe it or not, I had a pretty typical girly voice. Well before all that shit happened anyway. Though it ain't deep likeDarth Vader(a pile of pretentious black melodramatic shit compared tohis much crazier predecessor- hint, hint), it's still pretty friggin deeper than it used to be.Expy: So I'm kinda a cross betweenthat Asuka girl everyone talks aboutandthat Emile guy from Reach(PLAY THAT GAME, IT'S FUCKING AWESOME), with a touch ofDarth Maul.Like Asuka, I'm an abrasive redhead who wields a lance, andmy father killed himself just like Asuka's mother did.The real kicker here is thatAsuka's mom's name is also Kyoko. Heh.Like Emile, I'm aBlood Knight,Ax-Crazy,Sociopathic Hero, aPsycho for Hirewho cares nothing more than killing enemies, and I serve asThe LancerandToken Evil Teammateof the five Puella Magi. So in other words, I'm the best character on the show (in my humble opinion).Hell, if you didn't get the hint above (and you must be a complete moron to not have gotten it), I'm also basically asexier and prettierDarth Maulbefore myHeel–Face Turn. We both use red (best color!) as our primary color, wield a red-bladed polearm, and areAxe-CrazyBlood Knightshell-bent on killing anything in our path, be it Jedi or witches and rival Puella Magi.Face Death with Dignity:I pray to God just before I pass away, to tell him how my life sucked and, for once, how I'd like to have a happy dream...Fallen Heroine: I used to be aChurch Militant, sort of. But then I learned how stupid heroism is.But then Sayaka broke and I couldn't help just feeling a bit sorry for her, leading me to aHeel–Face Turn.Fiery Redhead: If it wasn't obvious from the red hair, I'm abrasive and hotheaded. Don't try to change me or I'll kill you.Freudian Excuse: Wonder why I'm always eating? It's becausemy family constantly starved after my father was excommunicated for "heresy", and we barely got enough to eat. In the manga, you even learn that I learned to punish people for wasting food from my mother. And of course, I'm only a selfishJerkassbecausemy unselfish wish led tomy maddened dadkilling my whole familyexcept for me.Friend to All Children: Yeah, I know, I'm a complete jerk bordering on evil, but Idohave a soft spot for kids, as seen inPuella Magi Madoka Magica PortableandOriko Magica. I wonder what happened to Yuma…Headless Horsewoman:Apparently, my witch form simply has a flame in place of where the head is. Dear God, theIrony...noteShouldn't that beMami'switch form?Heel–Face Turn: Complete with a near-Precision Bitch Strikeas soon asKyubey lets slip theAwful Truth.From then on, I decided toprevent my friends from suffering Sayaka's fate, to the point where I shatter my own Soul Gem after evacuating Homura and Madoka from the vicinity, so they don't get caught in the resulting blast that kills both me and and Sayaka.Heroes Gone Fishing: Homura once meets up with me when I'm playin'Dog Drug Reinforcement.Heroic Sacrifice:I do this toMercy KillSayaka, also so she doesn't have to die alone.InThe Different Story, I use Oktavia's Grief Seed to cleanse Mami's Soul Gem, but this leaves me without another one to use on herself, and I die while fighting another Witch later.I'm Taking Her Home with Me!: What?! Who put this on here?! I ain't goin' home with nobody, ya sick bastards! I...what's this? You say you'll feed me endlessly? Hmm."I Know You're in There Somewhere" Fight: Itryto do this with Madoka's helpin a desperate attempt to save Sayaka after she turns into a Witch. It fails and Ihave to kill Sayakaalong with myself.Image Song: "And I'm Home", shared with Sayaka. It is a sad song, so they used it as the ending for the episode whereI sacrifice herself to save her, which fits the theme. Let's sing along, everyone!Sabitsuita kokoro, otomonai sekai, nani o miteruno? Matane o ieru kao o sagasuyo...Impaled with Extreme Prejudice:In the manga, during the fight with Oktavia von Seckendorff.Ironic Echo:When I first encountered Oktavia (Sayaka's witch form), I got rescued by Homura because I was carrying Sayaka (or was it just her corpse?) and had no way to defend myself. When I refused to drop Sayaka, Homura called her a hindrance. Duringour futile attempt to bring Sayaka back from being a witch, after getting injured I leave an unconscious Madoka to Homura, before telling them to leave because Homura would not be able to fight with a hindrance like me, before making theHeroic Sacrifice.Irony: My father was a religious man, and I fought witches in secret, but he accusedmeof being one. And instead of killing me for it, he burned himself, my mother and my younger sister, along with the church.It's All About Me: Of course! Magical girls should only use powers for their own ends, and anyone who thinks otherwise is a moron and doing themselves in. But to be honest,I told Sayaka this for her own good, and then I tried to help her against a witch. It's an interesting dichotomy, to say the least.Jerkass:*snarf*What, were you expectin' menotto be one? Go to hell. Seriously, I suggested letting familiars eat other worthless humans to become full-fledged witches and even advised to Sayaka to break her lover's body to keep a leash on that guy.Hidden Heart of Gold: Though I'm not completely heartless, as Sayaka can attest.Kleptomaniac Hero: Don't ask where I get my food!Knight of Cerebus: Whilethat witch who ate Mamidid most of the work, the series kept getting darker after I showed up. Probably because I was the only one who didn't care about teamwork and friendship and that crap and just left people to die,at first.Lady in Red: Red hair, red shoes, dress, Soul Gem, red marks on my spear...my Magical Girl form's pretty damn red. I try to mix it up a bit off-duty, though.Lady Swears A Lot: If you haven't gathered (in other words, if you've got shit for brains), my language is quite filthy. At best, my Japanese is inappropriately masculine, whichI'm proud of.*slurp*At my worst though...The Lancer: I act like this to Homura. Also literally, because of my weapon, dumbass.Leitmotif:"Anima mala", which means "Evil Soul". The name is totallybadassand the theme is weird and menacing, which suits me perfectly. Do I deserve any less? Oh, and that tribal remix it got for"Rebellion?"Kickass.In the video game based on our little group, I geta different one, and it's just as rocking and badass as I am! It's called "Prex" - "Prayer". Not that I would ever actually pray.Father believed in God, and how was he rewarded for his faith?Magical Girl: One of the bestfuckingexamples,period.Meaningful Name: My name means 'apricot' , whilemy sisters name, 'Momo' meant 'peach'. Apricots apparently symbolize female beauty, which I have. It's also a symbol of strength achieved through struggles with adversity.And also, 'Sakura' is another name for the cherry blossom, which represent the transcience of life. Very fitting if you consider mybackstory.Our Zombies Are Different:What I apparently am, too. Kyubey shocked me at first with it, but meh, I don't really care much.noteOOC: This trope's presence on this page is based on what Kyoko thinks of magical girls as, rather than a genuine entry applying to her.Our Liches Are Different:Well, we use magic and we do haveSoul Jars, after all.A bit messed up, but still kinda cool at the same time, really.It's what comes after that's really not cool.Pet the Dog: If you thought I was a total bitch,thinkagain...dumbass.Psycho for Hire: Initially.Ship Tease: I might havea crush onSayaka...andMamiDon't tell anyone or I'll kill you!Heroes Want Redheads: Invertedat least in Sayaka's case! Though the shippers do justice to our "relationship". I love readin' the things they come up with!Sir Not-Appearing-in-This-Trailer: I didn't get shown in any of the official art until the show started airing. Back when I popped up in the opening, nobody knew who I was! Friggin' marketers...Single Tear: Wh-NO! HUH? NO! You're talking about that fight againstHomura's witch, right? That was SWEAT, dumbass! I was fighting and...you know what? Screw it. I admit it. Sayaka's words...man, they got me righthere, ya know?B-but it's not like we are some lesbos you damn idiots! I mean lots of magical girls hold hands sometimes, often inmore pervy circumstances!And it doesn't mean they want to screw each other in bed!Social Darwinist: Ever heard about the food chain? You should have learned about it in school. Witches eat weak humans. And in turn, we eat those witches. It's the basic rule of this world.Spell My Name with an S: "Kyoko", "Kyouko" and "Kyōko" are all technically correct, though most officialromanji-thingsuse "Kyoko". Personally, I just use "杏子".Tempting Apple: When I'm explaining my backstory, I munch on a bag of apples (fuckin' Sayaka almost wasted one).The symbolismisprobably intentional.Tomboy: Who needs all that girly crap? Meh.*munch munch*Tomboy and Girly Girl: To Mami's Girly Girl.Tomboyish Ponytail: Makes me look like fellow bad-ass tomboyTouko, who youWcDonalds-eating waito piggu gaijins probably know asHilda(SHUT THE FUCK UP,4KIDS!)Tomboy with a Girly Streak: OK, I'll admit to using the rather feminine "atashi" in the first person, but that's simply a carryover from before I lost my family! Sayaka's got the bigger girly streak! Mine's no bigger thana gnat's wing, I'll have you know!Trademark Favorite Food: Ooh, where to begin? I like Apples, andRocky... fuck, who cares? I like them all.Villain Song:Nope, sadly.As much fun as it would have been for me to get one, myImage Songduet with Sayaka applies to after I decided to be not-so-nasty.Zettai Ryouiki: Apparently myMagical Girloutfit ranks Grade B or something silly like that.*grabs the apple you just accidentally dropped andlifts you by the neck*You waste food, I kill you. Now go away and read aboutPuella Magi Madoka Magica.


Could you sign some papers?noteDon't worry,not all of you have to sign them."I will destroy all evil and become god of the new world!"— Me stating what I just did.(This page is best read in eitherMamoru Miyano,Brad Swaileor Manuel Campuzano's voice.)Hello, I'm Light Yagami, genius model student, star athlete and absolutelady-killer(Even if I'm not falling head over heels for them.) I am also most certainlyNOT Kira.I assure you.Fine, considering you can't really do much to stop me, I'll tell you the truth. I am Kira, and I am also theGod of the New World. I was sick and tired of the constant violence and crime reported constantly, so upon finding the Death Note, I decided to take things into my own hands. That is to say,to kill every last major criminal, so they can never harm a soul again,and to establish aworld of only kind, virtuous people.Sadly, I was met with opposition early on in my attempts, and it was bymy own father!when acertain detectivenamed L announced that he was trying to find me and stop my righteous mission on live television, I wrote down his name in the Death Note, only for it to turn out that it had been a body double the real L was using to find my location. I made it my sworn mission that day to kill L, andtake downanyonewho stands in my way.Any day now, my justice will come for you,detective.Tropes Associated With Me:Adaptational Heroism: The version of me in the American live-action adaptation had several standards and showed remorse when he killed someone who didn’t need to die. He ended up only wanting the Death Note to keep it away from someone worse. Sounds more noble,but everyone knows he is nowhere near as smart as I am(and neither was another version of me below). I mean, I just stick to the heart attacks that the Death Note normally causes.He still ends up going for a few more...gruesome things.My version fromthe live-action TV seriesgenuinely cares for Misa and his family, and goes out of his way to save people with the Death Note. Not that I don't do that, but he does it a bit more directly.He's still not as smart as I am, given that the American version might have been based on him, but I suppose he did his best.My anime counterpart was a bit moreremorsefulfor some of the more... regrettable things he ended up having to do.I like to think that this helps explain me a lot better.Adaptational Villainy: My other film version, on the other hand, apparently killed one of my random girlfriends and attempted to kill my father. I'm going to do whatever it takes, but that's a little too far. This clearly proves I could have been much worse than you people already believe me to be.Because let's be honest,not everything about me is going to be accurate.Antagonist in Mourning: It was rather boring without L around, and those two little babies could hardly match him. Sadly, I got unlucky.Anti-Hero: What the idiots on this website claim I was before I "Jumped Off The Slippery Slope." Anti-what?Anti-Villain: Subverted, becauseI'm not a villain.A God Am I: Correct. And I have my picture on the page to prove it.Ambiguously Gay: My behavior around L has been the starting point of many a fan-fic. I don't really like girls, but I could just be Asexual. Whatever it is, it doesn't matter right now. I havehigher callings.Asshole Victim: My death in the Manga is rather gruesome, but despite this trope name, it was fully undeserved.Somehow even less so in the other versions.Badass Adorable: I was drawn like a Disney character early on. Subverted later when I age, but that can only make youwiser, right?Berserk Button: DO NOT CALL ME EVIL! I AM JUSTICE!Black-and-White Insanity: I'm good. I will protect the innocent and start a utopian society, but sadly, some people aren't keen on it. If they aren't keen on what is clearly the best outcome, chances are they're evil.Cessation of Existence: What happened to me, assuming I didn't become a Shinigami. For those who truly know me, you'd know that I obviously wouldn't tell which of these happened.The Chessmaster: I managed to out-smart the worlds greatest detective and that says alot about my superior intellect!Complete Monster:No, of course not.People on this site like to group me with thatWhite-Haired rapist twinkas a character who starts out sympathetic and becomes this later into the story, but they're just unfairly biased (Not to mention thatI really wouldn'tgo that far).Just look at some of the other versions of me I mentioned above.These dolts also claim my film adaption is a more concrete version for openly scheming to kill my father, but again, they're wrong.Not that I don't prefer other versions of me instead.As well as my version inthe musical. Just like before, wrong.Determinator: L says "Childish and hates to lose." I say "Stylish and in the mood."Draco in Leather Pants: I'm not too pleased about the implications of the label, but it's good to know there are people who worship me.Dying Moment of Awesome:You betcha!I think my favorite is whenI manage to escape, looking back on how this all started before finding a place to rest and hide. So that by the the time they find me, they're already too late.I'll even give my TV counterpart some credit. Setting the warehouse on fire did help everyone back off, even though getting burned alongside the Death Notes wasn't part of the plan, but he was never as smart as I usually am anyway. You at least have to appreciatehow that might have been the most determined I was to survive.Establishing Character Moment: My first scene in the anime has me spacing out in class, but still able to flawlessly translate a book passage when called on by the teacher. On my way to my next class, I'm moping about the constant crime broadcast on the news, declaring in sync with the Shinigami Ryuk thatthis whole world is rotten. That's how you know I'm super intelligent and desperate to change the world for the better, and therefore the ideal recipient of the Death Note.Even Evil Has Loved Ones:I told you not to call me evil, didn't I?I truly loved my family, though. Sad I wasgoing to have to kill them,but I thankfully didn't have to.Even Evil Has Standards: Okay,this at least can help prove I'm not really evil. To start, killing reformed and minor criminals was a bit too far, Mikami.Evil Makes You Ugly: I feel like the "ugly" partis what needs to be addressed here more. Sure,it probably doesn't look good for me to get so worked up at times, but still,it's not much compared to how this trope usually works.Fanon Discontinuity: A lot of my adoring fans would like to pretend that the 2nd part of the series, where I made severalsevere mess-ups, become abit too indiscerning in my targets,(To the point that you idiots have given me the "honour" of being considered one of a very fewComplete Monsterprotagonists), and died not a result of my own actions, butone of my lackies screwing up randomlynever happened.Faux Affably Evil: I have to be polite, no matter how hard I want to strangle L. Besides, why would Ineedto when the Death Note could let me kill him without even being near him?Gambit Roulette: I remember when this trope was named after me.Knight Templar: I am a brave hero, destined to rule the world, and if you get in my way, I will kill you.Light Is Not Good: That's not funny.I know it doesn't actually refer to me in particular, but still.Magnificent Bastard: I was listed as one at one point. Those in charge of the trope removed mebecause they realized I was the hero.Although my version inJump Forceis listed as one. Now L is listed as one instead,and so is the next person Ryuk sent a Death Note.Memory Gambit: I had to surrender ownership of the Death Note, and by extension my memories of being Kira, for a while to get L off my trail.Motive Decay: Fear of getting caught tends to make you forget your goals, but I assure you I will remove all criminals. And somelazy people,but not all of them.Mundane Made Awesome: Credit where it's due, these people have pointed to me as the defining example of this.Narcissist: I'm not afraid to boast, but it's certainly not atthatlevel. After all, I am a god..Never Hurt an Innocent: I never would've had to kill anyone who wasn't a criminal if L didn't try to get in my way.Nice Guy: What I was before I got the Death Note, andI still am.Nightmare Fetishist: You Shinigami are so cute!Not-So-Well-Intentioned Extremist: I will become god of the new world! Wait,what was the first part? Oh, right. Making the new world itself.Obliviously Evil: What do you mean I shouldn't kill people? They're evil! They deserve it!Repressive, but Efficient: Sure, you might have to live under the decree of a "Delusional narcissistic teenage boy with daddy issues" (Rude, TV Tropes,) but the crime rate has reduced to 1/4 the previous level, and there's no wars!Sadist: Okay, now I know the guys on this site are evil. How am I supposed to get the world to appreciate my genius if they aren't reminded of my great power?Took a Level in Jerkass: I admit, I might have gotten a bit coarser after L was dead, but sacrifices must be made. Right, Takada?Took a Level in Kindness: I was forced to return to my pre-note state to avoid detection, but I was just as nice as ever.Smug Snake: I am agenius AND often hatch brilliant plans, but this wiki still considers me to be a higher-functioning just because Iget rightfully angry when people say CLEARLY false thingsanddon't think those dolts could somehow beat me.What,because I haven't had a real challenge in years?The Sociopath: No way!I care about people, I just don't care if I have to kill them!Ugly Hero, Good-Looking Villain: Hey, who are you calling ugly?! Wait, L? Oh, nevermind. ... Wait a second!Utopia Justifies the Means: I will become the god of a new world full of kind, honest, and hardworking individuals.Villain Protagonist:I'm about as far as you can get from it."Well Done, Son" Guy: I'm stopping the bad people! This is what dad wanted, right?Well-Intentioned Extremist: What do you mean "extremist?" I may be killing people,but they're nearly all criminals who deserve it!The rest are,admittedly at best,just who I had to get rid of in order for me to continue.


Kappei Yamaguchi's,Alessandro Juliani's or Hugo Nuñez' voice.)Greetings to everyone at tvtropes.org. I am L, otherwise known as the mainheroof the seriesDeath Note, and am widely renowned as the world's greatest detective. I specialize in solving cases with seemingly unexplainable causes, usually resulting in homicide. Justice is my ultimate priority, and my main goal is to put an end to these miscreants' evil deeds.As one would suspect, being the greatest detective in the world can lead to some quite pleasant privileges. My caretaker always gives me first word when he learns of a case I may be interested in; and so, working on the Kira investigation was an inevitability, it was simply too big of an atrocity to overlook, and so became my main priority. L, as one could tell, is an alias, but it is but only one of many that I go by. No one knows my real name, outside of a select few including myself, not that that information would be of any use to you. That seems adequate for an introduction, I wouldn't want to leak any classified information. Just know that I am true justice, the perception of my intelligence is only measured by the audience's stupidity, and that I will prevail no matter what.Any day now, my justice will come for you,Kira.20% More Awesome: I only use statistics, say, about ten percent of the time. Hm... no, it's closer to five percent.Adaptational Attractiveness: Some sayKenichi Matsuyama, is more attractive than I. It's really no insult to me, rarely my face is seen by anyone other than Watari, in any case. I hear I have many fan-girls, though... likely as many as Kira.Besides, I'll let you know that I am very attractive, in my own way. I was even kissed by the suspect's girlfriend recently. Kissed on the cheek, 100% more than the majority of you can say.Adaptational Badass: In the films based on the investigation, Kira was not as lucky as he was in real life, being that he died before I did.Adaptational Dye-Job: In the anime based on the investigation, my hair is black, where in the cover art for the manga based on the investigation, my hair is depicted being brown. I'll let you decide which is true.Adaptational Heroism: I'm not so sure about the truth in this, I have always been rather heroic, the manga misrepresented me. What can one expect when following the perspective of a mass murderer? It doesn't bother me either way.Adaptational Villainy: In every depiction of myself ever put on screen or print, justice is all I care for.Admiring the Abomination: I only take on cases in which I have a personal interest in. Those of course are mostly cases which the FBI or any international equivalents would not be able to solve without my assistance.Allergic to Routine: I have very little to do locked up in a small room twenty-four-seven, but that is the only way I can expect to fully concentrate on the matters at hand.Alliterative Name: L, my alias, is just one name, so, by that logic one can argue that the first letters of the first name and last name are alliterative, simply because they are both one name.Alternate Continuity: In the movies based on the investigation, I outlive Light, but in the manga, and anime I am not quite as lucky.Ambiguous Disorder: There is nothing wrong with me, I just spend a lot of time alone. Social norms are pathetic and pointless constructs, and I'd much rather be comfortable than have everyone around me be.Ambiguously Bi: I don't really care for relationships, be they romantic or sexual. I am fine with friendships, however.Antagonist in Mourning: InL: change the WorLdI am portrayed as missing my adversary for some strange reason. I suppose it can be boiled down to artistic license... it's practically official fan-fiction, anyway.Anti-Hero:My methods may be considered a bit harsh to some, that is true. Though justice must be served no matter what the cost, I simplydo what is necessary.Awesomeness by Analysis: At the risk of sounding a bit humble, I'll admit, my neurological capabilities far surpass that of any average person.Back for the Finale: Turns out, you do come back after you die, in my case, as a ghost. Or possibly as aDying Dream; it's open to interpretation.Badass Boast: I am... Justice!Badass Bookworm: I'm a genius, and a prodigy. I am also skilled inCapoeira. This is because, well... when I'm not solving important cases, I dabble in break dancing to pass the time.Barefoot Loon: A matter of opinion, although I'm aware this is how many people perceive me.Batman Gambit: One of my signatures, it's the oldest trick in the book, and yet... they fall for it like moths to the flame.Becoming the Mask: About that... when I said Light was my first ever friend, that may or may not have been a lie. After all, even if he was my friend, I still had Watari first, and he is a great asset to me.Big Brother Instinct: I think that saying that I am a good mentor wouldn't be far from the truth.Big Eater: I am quite fond of cake and other sweets. Sugar keeps me alert with the little sleep I do get. I've found that despite my large calorie intake, I won't gain much weight due to my thought-powered high metabolism.Big Good: It goes without saying.Bishōnen: Some say so.Big Sleep: When I died in the anime.Brilliant, but Lazy: Solving the toughest cases the world has ever known is enough reason to excuse my need for an occasional break in investigation.Bullying a Dragon: Something that must be done when my suspect has unexplained, possibly paranormal abilities. If I had any solid evidence, that would be preferable, but I mustdo what I can.Bunny-Ears Lawyer: Cake is all I need to sustain consciousness for several days, and nights working a tough case.But Not Too Foreign: I'm mostly European in heritage, and slightly Asian. My birthplace, however, is classified. I did study in the UK for a while, and reside in Japan, but am a citizen of many countries, and that's all that needs to be revealed.Catchphrase: Well... I certainly am justice.The Chains of Commanding: I must never leave my house, nor reveal my name, nor show my face, unless I am making a special exception.The Chessmaster: I could play chess very well if I had a friend to play it with...Cloud Cuckoolander: Not at all. Hm... mmh. This cake is wonderful.Collector of the Strange: It's not necessarily a collection persé, more of a set of allies, all of criminals that in exchange for their prison sentence, work for me instead.Color-Coded for Your Convenience: I am often depicted behind a blue filter.Confirmed Bachelor: I am in a quite fullfilling relationship with justice.Consummate Liar: I may stretch the truth from time to time, all in the name of the law.Cool Car: Watari escorts me around in a quite comfortable limo.Covert Pervert: I'm a... pervert? Certainly not! Sexual harassment is a serious offense, and I will take no admittance to these ridiculous allegations.Crazy-Prepared: It pays to prepare.Creepy Good: Creepy...?Creepy Monotone: Again with that word. I find my voice to be quite soothing.Creepy Shadowed Undereyes: It's a result of insomnia, and malnutrition, not genetics.Dance Battler: As I previously mentioned, I know some break-dance baced martial-arts.Dark and Troubled Past: That information is classified.Deadpan Snarker: Oh, yes, it takes a keen mind to think up the number of brilliant puns that I do.Dead Person Impersonation: Let's just say that many of those famed detectives that you may think now work in the shadows, are really just deceased, and heightened by me.Defective Detective: I think most would agree that I am quite the opposite.Deliberate Injury Gambit: I can take quite the beating, and a measly punch to the jaw is a small price to pay to open up an opportunity for a critical hit.Determinator: I absolutely HATE to lose...Deuteragonist: See Hero.Did You Just Flip Off Cthulhu?: When I first communicated with Kira over the television, humiliating him worldwide.Died in Your Arms Tonight: Tragically in the manga and animated television series, this is how I go out.Dies Wide Open: Again, my death in the manga and anime.Ditzy Genius: Ditzy? On the contrary, I am very refined.Disc-One Final Boss: I have back-up plans and replacements in order if ever my plans were to lead to my demise or conversion by the enemy.Do Not Adjust Your Set: Luckily, Kira happened to have his television on at the time.Does Not Like Shoes: They're really not the most comfortable, I only wear them when I have to walk on the hot ground. I dislike socks more.Donut Mess with a Cop: Ilove, donuts nearly as much as I love cake, and justice.Enemy Eats Your Lunch: I never let cake go to waste, unless of course, it was misprepared by Watari, or I die before I can finish eating it.Et Tu, Brute?: In the manga and anime, my suspicions of Light are confirmed as I die.Everyone Has Standards: I won't take just any case that I hear about on the television, what do you take me for, FBI?Evil Twin: Beyond Birthday looks suspiciously like me, although itreally doesn't make the slightest bit of sense...Exhausted Eye Bags: Not really bags, yet, but I do have dark circles.The Exotic Detective: As I said, I'm mostly European.Expecting Someone Taller: Apparently, I do not look like a conventional detective.Expy: I'm quite similar toSherlock Holmes, minus the drug addiction.Extreme Doormat: I wouldn't say so, in fact I can go to some pretty... extreme measures.Extremity Extremist: Ah, see?Friendless Background: I'm not the best at making friends, I'm afraid...Friend to All Children: Oh, now I'm just flat out contradicting myself, I do apologize, that is a bad habit of mine.The Gadfly: Reactions are indeed a very good look into the psyche of a suspect.Genius Sweet Tooth: That is 100% true.Good Counterpart: I would probably be considered the good half if I were ever compared to someone as their counterpart.Good is Not Nice: When intellectually and morally superior to most everyone around you, one can't help but judge others on their questionable actions. I've also found that torture and restraint can be very effective at getting a confession out of stubborn suspects.Great Detective: That goes without saying.Guile Hero: I rely on my keen intellect.Gut Feeling: It's not instinctual, there are clear traits that the guilty and the lying possess, making it easy for me to zero in on who I ultimately suspect.Hates Being Touched: When I am anxious, I may get startled when unexpectedly touched.The Hedonist: I really only need to do what I want to. I have more than enough money to spare, so crime fighting is more of a hobby than anything.Hero Antagonist: In the manga and anime I am.Hero with Bad Publicity: I'm seen as untrustworthy because I don't reveal my identity to the public. It's all the same as long as justice prevails in the end.Hikikomori: If you want to call it that.His Name Really Is "Barkeep": It is true... my nameisL, specifically L Lawliet. Ordinarily I would never reveal my real name, but since this has already been done inDeath Note: How to Read, it's pointless to keep the secret any longer.Honor Before Reason: It isn't honor before reason, it's reason before regret. I must be one hundred percent certain a suspect is guilty before he is put on death row.Hurricane Kick: Kicking is my prefered method of attack. I'd rather not use my hands.Hurting Hero: No. I am perfectly fine with any and all decisions I make.Hypocrite: Not at all.When I said that I can't take advice from a suspect, or deprive them of human rights, I wasn't being hypocritical when I did, I just changed my mind.I Am a Monster: Some report that I have stated that I am afraid of monsters, particularly those of the lying variety, and that I infact am that monster... I can assure you, I have never said that before. Trust me.I Am the Noun: Yes, yes, I am Justice... yadda yadda.I Did What I Had to Do: I did what I had to do in order to succeed in achieving what I wanted to do, yes.I Have Many Names: Hmm...? Oh, yes.The Insomniac: I rarely sleep as much as most of my peers, this is possible due to my high sugar intake.Insufferable Genius: I don't know about insufferable... but whatever people think of me, it really doesn't matter.Intelligence Equals Isolation: That is coincidental. The fact that investigation equals isolation would be incidental.Interpol Special Agent: Interpol agreed to allow me to work the Kira case, not that I required any permission.It Amused Me: Justice does amuse me. It's a perk of being an investigator.Jerk with a Heart of Gold: If one is good at heart and doesn't commit any atrocities, they don't need to be kind.Limited Wardrobe: I always wear the same clothes. My peers often wonder if I have multiple sets of the same clothes or just rewash the same wardrobe repeatedly.Loners Are Freaks: I'm just not like everyone else, that's all.Looks Like Cesare: It isn't intentional, but if you saw me in real life you'd likely agree.Magnificent Bastard: I’ll take it as a compliment. My work involves some...unsavory actions, but the results are impressive to most.Manipulative Bastard: It comes with the territory, I can't help if it displeases anyone.Married to the Job: I do not want, nor need a relationship with any woman, man, or what have you. Although my admirers sometimes like to imagine me pairing with criminals... I doubt they even understand me.Meaningful Name: It signifies how not Japanese I am, making it more interesting for the audience.Messianic Archetype: I noticed all the undeniable Judeo-Christian imagery I was being surrounded with, and decided to play along, washing Light's feet (improperly) causing him temporary pain.Messy Hair: I don’t groom myself much. Don’t have time.Muscles Are Meaningless: To be fair, Light isn't exactly a hunk of a person, either.Mr. Fanservice: In the tv drama, the writers decided to sexualize me more than necessary... as if that wasn't already a problem for me.Mysterious Past: Well, I can't just go around telling everyone all they want to know about me.My Death Is Just the Beginning: In the event that I should die during the investigation, a timer will run out, indicating that my potential successors will then have to pick up where I left off.My Greatest Failure: I admit, the deaths of the FBI agents, Ukita, andhaving to reveal my face to the Kira Investigation Forceare terrible failures.No Hero to His Valet: Watari is more than happy to be my loyal Alfred.No Sense of Personal Space: I may be a bit of a close-talker, but I talk quietly, so it's necessary. Why would I want to strain my voice when half of the time I'm spelling out my plans to incompetents?No Social Skills: Not required.Not So Stoic: On rare occasions I have a momentary loss of composure. I quickly regain it soon thereafter.Oh, Crap!: When one realize they are dying, they usually act at least a bit unnerved. I am no exception.Older Hero vs. Younger Villain: I am not particularly aged myself, but Kira is suspected to be a high school student.Older Than They Look: Flattery won't work on me, I know that I have developed eye circles and a poor posture.One-Letter Name: Indeed.Oral Fixation: I do have a habit of chewing my fingernails whenever I have no food to chew.Out-Gambitted: I won't give excessive details, but I'll just say... it was rather embarrassing.Papa Wolf: I am very protective of the Whammy kids.Paranoia Gambit: Surveillance tends to put the unintelligent on edge.Parental Abandonment: I have Watari.Passive-Aggressive Kombat: I can be quite passive aggressive with my peers, and that may or may not cause some frustration.Perpetual Frowner: It's my resting expression.Politeness Judo: I'm usually very polite to even suspects, although passive-aggressively.Primal Stance: I suppose one could call it that.Private Detective: Of course.The Profiler:It's simplewhen it comes to deducing motivations of suspects, I have many degrees in psychology after all, among others.Properly Paranoid: LightisKira, Misaisthe second Kira, and they reallyareout to get me.Punch-Clock Hero: My job can be quite monotonous at times, it's good to have some fun with it.Race Lift: I'm often portrayed by Asian actors despite being mostly Caucasian. And inthe American film, I'm played by African-American actorKeith Stanfield.Real Men Wear Pink: But I wear white.Real Name as an Alias: Thanks toDeath Note: How to Read, I am forced to admit this is true.Rebel Relaxation: Yes, yes, I have poor posture. It doesn't matter, I'm usually sitting, anyway.Red Oni, Blue Oni: I'm blue...dabadee dabadie.* Redemption Equals DeathThe Rival: Kira is mine.Sacrificial Lion: In the anime and in the manga I died halfway through. At which point many seem to lose interest in the retelling of our investigation...Samaritan Syndrome: I spend all of my time solving cases.Seriously Scruffy: My hygiene and appearance doesn't matter much to me, my home/workplace is steril enough.Sherlock Homage: We're both brilliant detectives with martial arts skills, and are both considered odd by others.Shonen Hair: I don't really wash it much...Shout-Out:I have no clue what this is alluding to.Shower of Angst: In the manga and anime I stood in the rain moments before being struck down in my prime.Significant Birth Date: Nothing in that story is of any concern to you...The Snack Is More Interesting: I enjoy snacking on sugary foods.Socially Awkward Hero: I'm not as awkward as everyone says I am...Sociopathic Hero: Sociopathic? Absurd. I care for all life. It's just that the ends justify the means.The Spock: My idol. Logic is the only important thing when it comes to analysis. The rest is rubbish.The Spook: Then maybe it's good I'm always locked away where no one can see me...Stalker Without a Crush: If by "stalker without a crush" you mean "investigator with a crush on Misa," then yes, that's close.The Stoic: I try to remain composed, thinking only logically.Strawberry Shorthand: Mogi is easily bribed.Sweet Tooth: Rrf... mph... hmm? I'm sorry, I was eating. Didn't we go over this?* Sympathetic Inspector AntagonistTeen Genius: I was always pretty intelligent.Thanatos Gambit: I have successors that will replace me in the unlikely event of an untimely death.Thinking Tic: I bite my nails, eat, or stack things while thinking.This Is Unforgivable!: Kira is a mass murderer. I do not forgive murderers.Together in Death: Light saw my ghost when he died in the anime.Trademark Favorite Food:If you were told it was cakethat's a lie... the cake. It's... nevermintd, next trope.Tragic Bromance: It was hardly a bromance.Troll: Have I mentiomed I can be passive-aggressive? I don't make it easy for those I dislike.Two Aliases, One Character: Yes, yes, yes...Tyke Bomb: I was trained as this.Ugly Hero, Good-Looking Villain: Am I really that unattractive?Unscrupulous Hero: The ends justify the means,like I said.What the Hell, Hero?: My peers have a bad habit of questioning me.* Wild HairWorkaholic: I work most of the time.Xanatos Speed Chess: I'm a master.Young and in Charge: It's rare to find someone as young as me possessing such wisdom and power.Thank you, and farewell.
