Art Initiates Life: A cruel inversion with Alone: Everything he paints dies.Anyone Can Die: Especially true for those who never read the original.Antagonist Title: Although not a character name, even if the Lost Canvas is almost a sentient entity.The face Aspros make indicates that it works, makes him wonder since when he looks down on Defteros and stopped loving him back, since when things goes wrong, realizing he just killed his own twin, and realizing it's his turn to play this trope. Then Aspros DOES Back from the Dead, and this time, Defteros pulled a Thanatos Gambit to purify Aspros from his own Genromaoken and from Mephistopheles Youma's influence. Not only he is wounded by the fact he killed his own twin brother, he also know his twin will be Back from the Dead and train himself to fight Aspros once again.
The face Defteros make when he hit Aspros' heart and the fact he carried his older twin's dead body with Bridal Carry tells us how affected Defteros is with Aspros' death. Aspros, being Aspros, refused to accept his loss and swore he will return to take over the Sanctuary even after his death. Initially, it is Aspros who died-heck, he even died in Defteros' hands, who used to look upon him.
Action Girl: Crane Yuzuriha and Behemoth Violate fit this trope very nicely.He intends to use his son as a pawn, and plans to harvest his soul as soon as it's mature enough to be used as a weapon against Olympus. Abusive Parents: Pegasus Tenma's father, Mephistopheles Youma.Absurdly Sharp Blade: Capricorn El Cid's signature move Excalibur, Alone/Hades's sword.A Magic Contract Comes with a Kiss: Pandora and Alone.Also Behemoth Violate and Basilisk Sylphid.Last we saw of him, Kagaho let him live his remaining days in peace. The Lost Canvas version of Aiacos got the lucky break of getting this without dying.Alas, Poor Villain: Bennu Kagaho and Harpy Valentine.A Child Shall Lead Them: Sasha, Athena reincarnated, is only fourteen.
