The Misadventures of Ryou Onuki[]
A Boy, A Girl and a Baby Family: Back when Ryou was still 13, both families had first born daughters (Ami and Yumi, also protagoists from the sequel series), tween sons who are a few years later (Ryou and Yuri) and a Toddler (Mimi and Akira)
Annoying Younger Sibling: Yuri is this, but he gradually gets zig zagged as years go by, downplayed with Ryou for most
Big Brother Bully: The show takes this inverted in Ryou's Bad Day
Pink Girl, Blue Boy: Ryou and Ami, the titular character nd his older sistr
Face-Heel turn: Julie after Julie AmiYumi from the prequel series, comes back completely evil and becomes the main antagonist
- Also Max Morris when he knew Ryou's older sister, he hates Puffy and Ryou is a family relative from one of the members
Gender Bender: There are a few episodes that involves this trope
Grounded Forever: Downplayed, Ryou gets grounded
Heel-Face Turn: Daren Drake
- Amy James eventually becomes this as an adult, betraying Julie, and befreinding the good guys
It's A Wonderful Failure: Used at times
Little Big Brother: Ryou eventually becomes this when he becomes an adult, becoming a bit taller than Ami
Limited wardrobe: much like its prequel, downplayed in the anime, where ryou changes outfits that has a somewhat different design, but didn't fundamentally change too much every few episodes
Magic Skirt
Manly Man and Sensitive Guy: Ryou and Yuri, although Ryou isn't rude
More Popular Spin-Off: Exaggerated to the point that hardly remembers its prequel
Never Bareheaded: Vlad Vivian takes this exaggerated, the titular character however, takes this downplayed, occasionally seen without his hat and removing it also sometimes in the mentioned
Outnumbered Siblings: Ryou (the protagonist of course) is the only son and middle child of Chiyo and Phil, of 3 kids (his other siblings being Ami and Mimi)
Panty Shot:
Parody: The series is infamous for this
Squashed Flat: in the 2009-2014 videogames, this happens to Ryou if he falls too high without performing a homing attack at the right timing
Seasonal Rot:
Wheel O' Feet: Ryou is this if he runs to a certain speed, resembling Sonic Advance's running animation (Sonic Advance 1)
Win to exit: The CN pilot
Wingding eyes: Played straight, used more often compared to it's prequel series
- X eyes= sometimes used on videogames, with minimal health remaining
- Spiral eyes= When someone gets dizzy, or about to faint
- Hearts=Emi in the serie's premeire, seldomly used afterwards
- Fire= when extremely angry, mostly used on Kaz (he got flanderized)
- Copies of Items they look at= When Ryou wants a BaySplation 3, sometimes used
You Gotta Have Blue Hair: mostly played straight, played literally with the titular character (who is already the Younger Brother of the protagonist from the prequel series), (since He's a male unlike the two protagonists from the prequel series)
- Emi Etsuko used to have this before the timeskip, she became blonde because she dyed her hair (her voice actress conformed that)
Zettai Ryouiki: the series has several cases
- Ami and Yumi still has this trope
- Ami takes this downplayed in the anime
- Emi Etsuko plays downplayed before the timeskip, she takes this even more downplayed after the timeskip
- Reiko Onuki actually plays this downplayed, but gets double subverted in a scene due to an animation error
