Kinji Touyama is no [[Ordinary High School Student|ordinary high school sophomore]]. Whenever he is "stimulated" by events around him, he switches into a sort of [[Super Mode]] called "Hysteria Savant Syndrome", shortened as "HSS" or also called "Hysteria Mode". Kinji attends Butei High School, a paramilitary academy specializing in assault, reconnaissance, escort, etc. -- specifically, the offensive-oriented Assault Section. However, thanks to a certain incident, Kinji demoted himself to the more rear-line Inquesta Section and is planning on quitting Butei High altogether. One day, however, he narrowly falls victim to a serial bomber called the "Butei Killer", and his life is thrown into a shock again, with the entrance of one of Assault Section's top students, the diminutive Aria H. Kanzaki.
''Hidan no Aria'' ('''''Aria the Scarlet Ammo''''', according to the subtitle, or more accurately ''Aria of the Scarlet Bullet'') is a [[Harem Series]], but also with plenty of action and thrills. Starting as a [[Light Novel]], a manga adaptation has been made, and an anime series adapted by [[J.C.Staff]] was released in [[Spring 2011 Anime|spring 2011]]. It also has a spinoff manga, ''Hidan no Aria AA'', focusing on Akari Amamiya, a first-year Rank-E Butei and Aria fangirl who strives to be on equal footing with her beloved "Aria-sempai".
The series is licensed for simulcast streaming by [https://web.archive.org/web/20110427042257/http://beta.funimation.com/aria-the-scarlet-ammo Funimation] and can also be watched on [https://web.archive.org/web/20131101044308/http://www.hulu.com/aria-the-scarlet-ammo Hulu].

Line 12:
{{tropelist}}
* [[Absurdly Sharp Blade]]: Shirayuki's sword is pretty sharp due to it being made with a special metal.
* [[Abuse Is Okay When Its Female On Male]]: Aria tends to use this trope on Kinji.▼
* [[Actor Allusion]]: [[Rie Kugimiya|Aria]] screams "[[Shakugan no Shana|Urusai!]]" ("Shut up!") a lot.
** In the [["On the Next..."]] preview for Episode 11, Aria forgot Kinji's name. She guesses he could be [[Shakugan no Shana|Yuuji]] or [[
* [[Academy of Adventure]]: Butei High, naturally.
* [[The Ace]]: Aria. She can be a one-girl assault team, able to handle any situation with nary a sweat, catch any criminal, so on and so forth... but [[Lethal Chef|can't cook]].
Line 103 ⟶ 102:
** Potentially justified by the fact that Kinji's father was an "Armed Prosecutor", one of the few occupations with a license to kill, and it's implied that they are sent against target as dangerous as (or even more so than) Kinji in Hysteria Mode. So it's rather doubtful that a normal Desert Eagle could be used as an accurate benchmark for that particular one.
* [[Don't You Dare Pity Me!]]: A rare heartwarming twist on this trope: When Kinji and Aria helped {{spoiler|Riko}} defeat {{spoiler|Dracula}}, hence reclaiming her freedom and dignity, she was clearly filled with love and gratitude for both of them. After a moment, her professional pride in her {{spoiler|Lupin}} heritage returned, forcing her to recompose herself and declare her rivalry towards them anew; albeit one built on respect rather than hatred this time.
▲* [[
* [[Dual-Wielding]]: Aria. {{spoiler|Riko apparently can too.}}
** Though, for {{spoiler|Riko}}, it's technically {{spoiler|[[Up to Eleven|Quad Wielding]]}}
Line 124:
* [[Exactly What I Aimed At]]: Reki doesn't miss. Even "miss shots" are deliberate (like that one time she managed to ''tame'' Haimaki with a bullet grazing through its back).
* [[Expressive Hair]]: Aria's [[Idiot Hair]].
* [[Expy]]: Aria, to an extent, of [[
** Reki can be considered one of [[Emotionless Girl|Emotionless Girls]] such as [[Haruhi Suzumiya|Yuki Nagato]] or [[
*** Teenage girl, pale green hair, [[Emotionless Girl]] behaviour, significant backstory arc to explain this (in the novels); she's very close to being a real [[Rei Ayanami Expy]].
** Jeanne d'Arc the 30th's armor, sword and hairstyle may as well make her a silver-haired, French version of [[Fate/stay night|Saber Lily]] -- with [[Ayako Kawasumi|the same voice actress]] to boot, to near-[[Casting Gag]] levels.
Line 367:
** Reki ([[Cold Sniper|Long-Range Support]])
** Hina Fuuma ([[Highly-Visible Ninja|Reconnaissance/Distraction]])
** Riko Mine ([[Knowledge Broker|Information]]/{{spoiler|[[
** {{spoiler|Jeanne d'Arc the 30th ([[The Smart Guy|Tactical Planning]]/[[An Ice Person|Ice-Elemental Combat]])}}
** {{spoiler|Elle Watson ([[The Medic|Medical Support]])}}
Line 375:
* [[Turn Out Like His Father]]: Subverted Kinji does not want to become this, but circumstances might say otherwise. An example of such is his upgrade to carrying a Desert Eagle Magnum, a .50 handgun his father used during his days as "armed prosecutor".
* [[Two Aliases, One Character]]: In the [[Light Novel]] {{spoiler|[[Genghis Khan]] and Yoshitsune no Minamoto are one and the same}}.
* [[The Ugly
* [[Ungrateful Bastard]]: {{spoiler|Kinichi was (supposedly) killed saving average citizens from a sinking ship. However, instead of treating him like the hero he was, because they didn't want to be sued, the company that owned the ship said the sinking was mainly Kinichi's fault, and that he was a horrible Butei, forcing Kinji to mull leaving Butei; fortunately for him Aria's presence changed his mind.}}
* [[Unobtanium]]: Irokane, a rare magical metal everyone is fighting over.
