Fairly English Story/YMMV

Angst? What Angst? - While Minato may pull the Deus Angst Machina card every now and again, he's actually very well off considering.
- Turns out he's lying.
Alas, Poor Villain - Hermit
Badass - Many, Many times.
- Back-to-Back Badasses - Minato and Shinji against the Lover's army of zombie Shadows. It also happens whenever Minato and Naoki team up.
  - As of the sequel, Naoki and Yukiko, Funky Student and Kanji, and Kenji with Jun, although they were completely outclassed by Rio
- Badass Boast
- Badass Abnormal - Everyone once they learn new tricks to their Personae.
- Badass Adorable - Bebe. Yes, that Bebe.
- Badass Army - The Jakkai
- Badass Back
- Badass Biker - Minato when he steals Mitsuru's bike.
- Badass Beard - The Reaper.
- Badass Bookworm - Minato, but the Reaper seems quite eloquent too. Jun definitely qualifies.
- Badass Cape
- Badass Creed - No Second Chances. That's the kind of monster I am.
- Cultured Badass - The Reaper.
- Took a Level in Badass - Junpei, Shinji, Ken, Kenji
  - Strega are much more effective in this story too.
- Dare to Be Badass - Minato often calls people onto this. Got it himself a couple of times.
- Break the Badass - There was an entire chapter about Minato coming to terms with his fear of dying after being called out by Ryoji. Also, Shinji's resolution after Akihiko's death.
- Badass Grandpa - Minato's Granddad is Raidou. Reaper's True from
- Diagnosis From Dr. Badass - Minato's pretty decent at diagnosing his own injury's, then shouting at Yukari to hurry up and heal him.
- Underestimating Badassery - Everyone who fights Minato for the first time underestimates him. Everyone. Even if they know he's a Badass.
Crazy Awesome - The fic starts off pretty standard, but then it gets pretty obvious what the author's been studying.
- Minato's pretty insane himself, but full of awesome.
Crowning Moment of Awesome
Crowning Moment of Funny - "I prepared a song about it."
Crowning Moment of Heartwarming - The ENTIRE Epiclouge. Yes, even the parts where Minatos threatens Metatron to stay out of his business and he crushes Izanami after the events of Persona 4 with THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE
Crowning Music of Awesome - Chapter 18.
Ensemble Darkhorse - The Reaper, Kenji, and Jin.
- For that matter, Shinji's popularity was why Aki took a bullet for him.
God Mode Sue - The author has thrown up his hands and admitted this, so made up for it by amping the difficulty up to 'Minato Must Die'
Growing the Beard - Up until Chapter 36, the story is pretty standard. Then the fun starts.
HSQ - Rather high, even higher towards the end.
Iron Woobie - Minatos. Especially in the last five chapters.
Magnificent Bastard - Minato, Takaya. Adachi
- Not to mention chapter 94 when Minato sleeps with Mitsuru and technically has "robo-sex" with Aegis while dating Yukari who is in this story is Little Miss Weapon Wieldin' Mood Swings. And earlier in story, he did it to Chihiro and Yuko! Good thing he is also a Manipulative Bastard. He does feel guilty about it though...
  - Very, Very nearly Jin. The one flaw in The Plan was that he didn't account for Jun Kurosu.
Naughty Nurse Outfit - Referenced. Junpei gets his ass kicked as a result.
Nightmare Fuel - How the author goes into GREAT detail about how Nyarlathlotep destroys most of Minato's Personae falls greatly into this trope.
- When Minato gets scared, you'll know it, because the Narrator keeps narrating through the fear. It get's really bad when he's scooping his lungs up off the floor and running for his life while under Panic.
  - Minato got charmed at one point. Now that was bad.
Rated "M" for Manly - Played straight and inverted. It's a very intellectual story, but the guns are huge and destructive, every other character is badass to some degree, and lots of things go boom.
Replacement Scrappy - Averted HARD. Shinji's development after Akihiko's death is flawless.
Shocking Swerve - Gloriously Averted. One of the best and most unexpected Mind Screws in all of fanfiction that wasn't a complete Ass Pull. The Fridge Logic behind it only leaves you even more speechless.
"Stop Having Fun!" Guys - Mitsuru. She gets better though.
- Kenjamin too.
Tragic Monster - Hermit
Tear Jerker- The prequel, Stay Awake With Me
