Tropes/Berserk Buttons

## Multi-Arc

* Do not **EVER** taunt a witch about the source of their despair.
* Whenever a Magi is in the middle of helping a non-Chosen One and time suddenly stops, they get furious, or if they get a Forestize Warning at an inconvenient time.
* Whenever Messiahs get the error message "Sorry, unable to initiate transformation. Please try again later.", especially at inconvenient times or in a desperate situation, such as when Gemma repeatedly tries to transform so she can help fight Chaospale after Melody witches out and she becomes more and more frustrated with each failed attempt, or when Queen Vera reveals the truth about Event Horizon and laughs at Elizabeth's repeated failed attempts to transform, which almost causes her to become a witch.
* If you're the Shinju-sama, don't deploy the Magis in the middle of the night or they will **BE VERY UPSET**. Unfortunately, the Vertexes don't care, so it has no choice if that's when they attack.
* Harm Dragonet on purpose in any way, and ***YOU BETTER PREPARE TO BE ATTACKED**.* You may very well be even killed. In fact, harming ***ANYCREATURE*** is enough to set off Elizabeth's Berserk Button, and this even ends up triggering her first transformation.
* Sugar, Pudding, and Carrot Cake have a very bad habit of pissing others off without meaning to, as shown when they cause *all of the Magis* to witch out after omnishipping them. As a result, Elfreda activates her Crystal Heart Power trump card...and she almost dies due to using all of her energy to purify everycreature. The Taisha had to confiscate the magical warrior system as a result due to this.
* **DO NOT** ever whack Bouncee with a frying pan. I'm also looking at ***YOU***, Dragonet.
* ***NEVER*** make fun of somecreature's platonic love or falsely ship individuals who have a platonic relationship.
* ***NEVER, EVER*** make fun of anycreature's name, especially if their name has a pun or is absurd (such as Felicia's and Eileen's Japanese surname, Inubouzaki, which literally means "dog barking").
	+ As a matter of fact, this clearly serves as OOC for Eileen (Itsuki), so you ***BETTER WATCH OUT*** if you make fun of her and/or her name.
* Do not spit on Elis, especially after making out with Jim. Dragonet learned this the hard way.
* Don't insult Ryutsuki's or Rarity's appearances or cause their hair or the former's clothes to get dirty. ***EVER***.
* If you're a bad guy, tamper Jim in any sort of way, and Elis will ***LOSE IT***. Too bad there was nothing she could do in *Rosie Magica*...
* Nova normally adores muffins, but top them with whipped cream and she will *go Primeape\*bleep\**, as shown in *Dawn Magica* when she gets furious that Candice's muffins from the pastry table are topped with whipped cream (resulting in her manually taking off the whipped cream and flinging it at Candice before eating the muffin.)
* Despite clearly loving her Trainer very much, Dragonet cannot stand when she is too overprotective and smothers her, which is best shown in "Behaver" where she reaches her breaking point and lashes out.
	+ The opposite, however, is also true when someone tries to take her away from her Trainer, such as when she gets very upset and cries in "The Old Raise and Switch!" when she goes with Elio for the weekend.
* Do not break a Pinkie Promise. Pinkie Pie will *hunt your flank down*, no questions asked.
* Make fun of Alessandra and Sunset Shimmer for somewhat looking alike and you will *surely* be "talking to the fist/hoof."
* Mention or show Elizabeth a Yungoos or Gumshoos and she will *run away screaming her head off*.
* Do ***NOT*** beat Melody up with a pipe, especially if you are high. ***ESPECIALLY*** you, Arcturus.
* Don't even think about stealing Nova's plushies.
* ***NEVER*** try to hurt anycreature on an All-Loving-Heroine's watch, even if they're villains, such as in the equivalent chapter to "The Needs of Hope" when Madoka and Elizabeth try to forcibly grab the Elemaxed Magis and stop them from destroying Hunter J's ship since they don't want to kill anyone, though instead of going insane when they ask if Hunter J and her Pokémon are dead, Dawn simply looks away and says nothing.
* The Magis always become furious whenever Event Horizon belittles and insults them (and also when the other three do the same), *especially* one time in *Madoka Magica* when she tells Madoka "up yours," which only makes Madoka cry, but causes Kyoko to get so furious that her attack accidentally makes Nanette hit Jim and deactivate him. Elis suddenly showing up to give her daughter a scolding makes things worse.
* Subverted example: Do not insult or humiliate Madoka on Homura's watch.
	+ Madoka, however, always stops Homura from taking things too far.
* Queen Vera will go *ballistic* if somecreature escapes her traps.... or has no soul to take in the first place.

## Cherry Magica

* One-chapter example (You Will Never Be Forgotten): Seeing a Vertex directly harm her friends is enough for Ella to will herself into Elemaximum *directly*.

## Nina Magica

* Irida will lash out if you tease her about how she acts with Nina.
* Never call Nina "Soluna." *Someone* learnt this the hard way.
* Owlremi, if you happen to harm a Pokémon and not just take its Elemental Spirits, prepare for an attack from Victoria, Arcturus, Brandon and Aurora. This is best shown in her debut chapter: she harms a Shinx that was part of the latter four's trial...and it does not turn out well.
* Do not say that "Pokémon are terrifying creatures" when Nina is around, or she will lose it.
* Betray your "allies," Volo, and Nicole will fly into a rage.
* Whatever you do, never call Victoria a "fool." The Miss Fortune sisters learnt this the *hard* way.
* Calling Nina a "grunt" is the best way for her to fly into a rampage. Twilight even had to call for a timeout after the captain of Magi Galactia Magica goes way too far, effectively forcing the protags to retreat back to the Highlands Camp.

## Tart Magica

* ***NEVER*** taunt Melody about the battles happening at her home universe. She won't take it well...and neither will Tart.

## Abigail Magica

* Do not say "up yours" to Abigail, or she will ***GO BERSERK***.

## Bailey Magica

* One-chapter example: Behaver becomes enraged if someone tries to hide Dragonet from her, as she wants her back but doesn't understand that aggressively chasing her is only pushing her further away. When Molly runs into an office building with her to hide, Behaver simply follows her with her sharp eagle vision and then destroys the building.
* Another one-chapter example: In "Got Miltank?", the Miltank ***DOES NOT*** take kindly to Magis in her oasis, regardless of species, despite Bailey trying to convince her that they aren't her enemies. She gets better by the end of the chapter, however.

## Nanette Magica

* If you mess with Cheren on Gina's watch, you'll be very sorry. That goes for **YOU** too, Dragonet.
* Julia has a *severe* phobia of limousines. Do ***NOT*** show her one under any circumstances.
* One-chapter example: Starlight Glimmer, do not kill Nanette, or Marina will LOSE IT (even though the button was pushed when the latter gets her Harmony Mark and items back).
	+ After said chapter, Nova also ends up getting the song "Our Town" stuck in head and often sings it, much to the others' fury. However, this comes back to bite her several chapters later in "The Re-Mark" when she accidentally ends up singing it in front of Starlight.

## Serena Magica

* Do ***NOT*** tell Serena that she should be a Rhyhorn racer like her mother. Also, ***NEVER*** try to interrupt or sabotage her Showcases.

## Lillie Magica

* Kiawe always loses it whenever he encounters Viren doing something bad.

## Cherry Magica 3

* One-chapter example (undecided): Jim, if Nanette catches you making fun of the Taisha, you're screwed.

## Rosie Magica

* Avigail Both, if you call anycreature a "poopyhead" or use your spell to throw clownfish at them, Dolores will lose it, such as when Avvy causes Rosie to throw up from disgust after she throws a clownfish in her face. *While laughing the whole time.*
	+ Blissany also will start crying if Avvy makes fun of her blind eye. The latter quickly realizes how upset she makes her, however, and does her best to try not to.
* When the Magis see their parents' souls trapped in crystal orbs, they become devastated and start crying, but also become ***SO FURIOUS*** that they become reckless, impulsive, and try to run/fly towards the souls and the AoTA without even thinking or making a plan, causing the AoTA to easily punch them and knock them back.... and Rosie becomes so insanely angry that she *wills her Power Necklace into her Stage 5 form*... only for her negative emotions to be so extreme that she nearly witches out before Melody, Blissany, Evelyn I, and Gemma just barely manage to calm her down.

## Amber Magica

* Phoebe making fun of the Taisha (even going as one for Halloween, which makes the real Taisha furious and causes civilians to also get furious) always pisses them off.
* Amber, don't even think about trying to steal Blake's hoverbike or you will ***BE VERY SORRY***.
* Melody gets ***VERY*** annoyed when Anabelle first shows up out of nowhere and starts using her purification-song via her microphone, since she doesn't want another talented singer to take her place. The former mellows out about this in subsequent appearances, however.
* Whitely often gets pissed off whenever Amber starts acting too immature.... especially when she throws dirt at her using magic.
* Anything related to made-up stories about the past Magis (including herself) is the best way to piss Melody off. This is best shown in two of the first few chapters of the arc ("The Passed Baton" and "Teaching Day"), where, for example, a few online articles about history depict her father as a cannibal who drank the blood of others, and completely ignore his eventual redemption, and another depicts Event Horizon as having always been that way and falsely claiming that she was just the reanimated soul of Katrina who was corrupted.

## Katy Magica

* Chiffon is normally calm, but if anycreature makes fun of fashion or cosmetics, she'll lose it and teach you a lesson.
* After "The End of the Princess," Katy will *fly into a rage* and singlehandly defeat any witch that kills her friends. This is ***BEST*** shown in the chapter where Mason dies, where the 16 year-old girl becomes *so violent* that she loses control of her powers (and in the next chapter, *witches out*).
* Syren does not take kindly to being thought of as an incompetent Magi just because of her young age, such as the chapter where she contracts where several concerned civilians don't agree with the Shinju's and the MoF's choice and try to stop her from contracting, much to her anger, only for them to change their minds after realizing that a young Miko with no combat power can still be a valuable member of the team.
* Do not harm the other Magis on Melissa's watch or she will ***GO INSANE***... except that it's a bad idea for her to transform and attack since she can't battle on land. She usually just uses a paralyzing spell instead.
* One-chapter example: Sinnohian Giant Beedrill (Melissa's witch form) will lose it if you attempt to run away from her, and she'll then use one of the various magic tools on the toolbelt around her thorax (the insect equivalent of a waist) to try and rope, chain, shackle, cage, paralyze, or *straitjacket* you. Luckily, all the Magis barely evade her traps, but she comes dangerously close to doing the last one to Katy.
