Before making a single edit, Tropedia EXPECTS our site policy and manual of style to be followed. Failure to do so may result in deletion of contributions and blocks of users who refuse to learn to do so. Our policies can be reviewed here.
All images MUST now have proper attribution, those who neglect to assign at least the "fair use" licensing to an image may have it deleted. All new pages should use the preloadable templates feature on the edit page to add the appropriate basic page markup. Pages that don't do this will be subject to deletion, with or without explanation.
All new trope pages will be made with the "Trope Workshop" found on the "Troper Tools" menu and worked on until they have at least three examples. The Trope workshop specific templates can then be removed and it will be regarded as a regular trope page after being moved to the Main namespace. THIS SHOULD BE WORKING NOW, REPORT ANY ISSUES TO Janna2000, SelfCloak or RRabbit42. DON'T MAKE PAGES MANUALLY UNLESS A TEMPLATE IS BROKEN, AND REPORT IT THAT IS THE CASE. PAGES WILL BE DELETED OTHERWISE IF THEY ARE MISSING BASIC MARKUP.
Too many to count, though the ones that stand out the most are probably when (as mentioned above) Flute is stabbed in the chest by Hamel but still smiles, trusts him, gets up and takes his hand and when Hamel and Sizer are reunited with their mother.
In the Violinist of Hameln manga, fist volume's last chapter, we're treated to the sight of JerkassAnti-Hero Hamel carrying a battered Flute on his back into the sunset, even though he had been the one to puppet her into a hopeless fight against an enemy he knew she couldn't defeat (throughly played for laughs). (Predictably enough, by the third volume, even a kid they just met could tell they were totally not in love, and mocks them accordingly.)
In the third volume, Hamel's Nice Hat falls off during a Freak-Outcaused by the triggering of his demon blood, and accidentally reveals his lone little horn. Raiel tries to calm him down by attacking him with snow dragons, which doesn't work too well; however, upon learning of Hamel's parentage, Flute immediately jumps into the battlefield, hugging him from behind and crying while saying she finally understood his pain. Hamel imediately calms down, puts his hat back on his head, and starts playing his violin for the previously terrified villagers around him. The heroes go right back to their wacky hijinks a page later, but after the tension of the previous chapters, it's almost a relief to see Flute bashing Hamel with her Cross of Divine Retribution again.
