Namco X Capcom/Characters
Reiji and Xiaomu
Tropes shared by both:
- Badass Creed: Recited during the Shinra Bansho, which reference the elements that they wield.
- Battle Couple
- Boke and Tsukkomi Routine: Xiaomu starts it, Reiji usually finishes it.
- Bottomless Magazines: Though they do reference having to reload and change out ammo, so they apparently do have limited ammo, we just don't see the reloading.
- Casual Kink: Spanking. Reiji dishing it out, Xiaomu on the receiving end.
- Combination Attack/Limit Break: Shinra Banshou.
- Deuteragonist: Each plays one half of this role.
- Dual Wielding: They are depicted doing so in games after Namco X Capcom.
- Elemental Powers: They utilize all but wind elemental attacks.
- Expy: According to the creators, of Kyosuke Nanbu and Excellen Browning.
- Guns Akimbo: Reiji has a .44 magnum revolver and a lever-action shotgun, while Xiaomu wields dual pistols
- Gun Kata: Displayed prominently during their Multiple Assault attack in Namco X Capcom.
- Leitmotif: "Yuragi no Machi no Arisu" in Endless Frontier. It literally is rendered as "The Trembling City of Arisu", but is transliterated as "Alice in Fluxland".
- May-December Romance: Implied for Reiji and Xiamou at points in Namco X Capcom, the ending dispels all doubt.
- The Musketeer: Both Reiji and Xiaomu use a mix of guns and melee weapons.
- Odd Couple: Reiji is deadpan and kinda moody, yet it's a front for how much he cares about people. Xiaomu is spastic and childish, and yet even more a protective softy than Reiji underneath.
- Original Generation: Based off two other Original Generation characters at that.
- Rule of Symbolism: Their creed when unleashing Shinra Banshou, which references various elements of nature.
- Savvy Guy, Energetic Girl: They adhere to this trope to a T.
- Shotguns Are Just Better: Reiji's "Gold", a sawed off, lever action double barrel.
- Uptight Loves Wild: It's quite obvious they are pretty close despite their differing natures.
- Walking Armory: Reiji wields two katanas, a shotgun and a revolver while Xiaomu brandishes a Sword Cane and goes Guns Akimbo.
- Wife Husbandry: Xiamou is hinted to have been romantically involved with Reiji's father, and it seems to be repeating with Reiji himself, though Xiamou waited until Reiji was of age at least.
