{{workstub}}

 

{{tropelist}}

* {{spoiler|[[A Child Shall Lead Them]]}} - {{spoiler|J and K are both children, well....}}

* [[Bodyguard Betrayal]]: {{spoiler|Sayuri Hosho, the Third-I agent who is assigned to watch over Fujimaru and Haruka while their dad is on the run.}}

* [[Cain and Abel]] - subverted with the actual Cain and Abel sisters who love each other dearly, played straight with {{spoiler|J and his older half-brother, Otoya.}}

* [[Damsel in Distress]]: In the first season, Haruka is kidnapped three times and {{spoiler|exposed to Bloody-X}} once. She gets less kidnap prone in the second season, though.

* [[Extreme Graphical Representation]] - Done with images of a falcon flying through corridors of data.

* [[Jack Bauer Interrogation Technique]]: Sasha, one of the Russian agents employed to help Third-I, uses this to force {{spoiler|Anko's "mom"}} to talk.

* [[Just a Kid]] - {{spoiler|Why Judas kills K.}}

** {{spoiler|Chapter 86[http://www.1000manga.com/Bloody_Monday/86/02-03/\] shows you how large the current cast of main and secondary characters is. That's excluding all the dead and minor characters.}}

** And now there's a whole new group of terrorists, the Shooter of the Magic Bullet, in the sequel of the manga.

* [[Long Lost Sibling]]: {{spoiler|J aka Jun Kanzaki is actually Otoya's half-brother}}

* [[Meaningful Name]] - The cult has loads of these, with the prominent members getting names based on figures from the bible. Most of the names are significant of their character, but the biggest example would have to be {{spoiler|Judas. [[Names to Run Away From Really Fast|In retrospect, having a guy with that name around as a trusted disciple was a pretty terrible idea]] - but not for the guy who originally gave him that name.}}

* [[Oblivious Younger Sibling]]: Subverted for Haruka. Though Fujimaru and Ryuunosuke tried their best to keep Haruka from getting involved in the trouble that they've gone through, she is still aware that they're up to something. {{spoiler|In the last season, she is aware that Fujimaru is involved with the hostage situation.}}

* [[Obstructive Bureaucrat]] - tries to take over the unit handling the BloodyX case {{spoiler|while the unit runs an elaborate Xanatos Gambit behind his back}}.

* [[Voice with an Internet Connection]]: Fujimaru, those who are in the Third-I HQ and the enemy hackers.

* [[Walking the Earth]]: J and his loyal supporters. {{spoiler|But they came back at the end of the second season and played a big role in the last season.}}

* [[Viewer-Friendly Interface]] - Too many scenes to count properly.

 

* [[Retired Badass]]: Fujimaru hasn't even touched a keyboard since "Bloody Monday" {{spoiler|but this is just a ploy to avoid involving his friends again.}}

* [[The Rival]]: Peter Pan, who is said to be what Falcon could become given a few years (which should already give some indication how powerful he is), and {{spoiler|who had a hand in making Falcon the master hacker he is in the first place.}}

* [[Sickeningly Sweethearts]]: {{spoiler|What Hibiki and Fujimaru seem to be becoming after Hibiki's [[Heel Face Turn]].}}

** Confirmed in {{spoiler|Chapter 43, to the point where Minami becomes comically disgusted.}}

** The American head of security, who's so overconfident he doesn't realize that Peter Pan has already taken over a powerful spy satellite.

** President Adams, who thinks he can make a deal a terrorist who previously said she could have killed any one of the dignitaries by moving into the penthouse next door and apparently forgot a retina scan doesn't require your eyes to be attached to your head.

* [[The Mole]]: {{spoiler|Storyteller, see above. Also Mamiya, evidently.}}

* [[Our Presidents Are Different]]: The new one, Curtis, has a beard!

* [[The Revolution Will Not Be Civilized]]: Storyteller's "prologue" involves shooting a half-dozen hostages on live TV -- including children -- in order to {{spoiler|get the other countries to sell their US dollars and make the Yen powerful}}. His lackey "Seagull" seems hesitant, so someone else does it. {{spoiler|Fortunately the order was given by Fujimaru with a voice synthesizer and "someone else" was Hibiki with a taser}}.

* [[Spy Catsuit]]: {{spoiler|Hibiki dons one after infiltrating a diplomatic party}}

* [[Title Drop]]: "We are Bloody Monday!"

* [[Violence Really Is the Answer]]:

* [[Well-Intentioned Extremist]]: See above.

* [[What the Hell, Hero?]]: Hibiki after gunning down what appeared to be hostages. {{spoiler|They're actually bad guys.}}
