2. Suspense Drama Tropes

1st Place
Confessing on a cliff

2nd Place
All the detectives are incompetent

3rd Place

Knowing who gets killed in the opening (rira-san)
rira-san, that's way too straightforward (✪д✪)
But I don't hate that kind of thing either, lol

🏆Being shown a photo and looking away saying 'I don't know this person' (Sasara Madoka-san)
(´め∀め｀)Wahaha - Definitely their ex, lol
'Looking away' is the best. Madoka-chan's comedy skills are amazing.

💎Past the halfway point, a suspicious person suddenly appears for no reason (Izayoi-san)
(´め∀め｀)Wahaha - It's already gotta be them, lol
Including the fact that the suspense drama's writing is just too sloppy, it gets a pass.

💎A silhouette being attacked with a scream, and then a bloody corpse rolling on the ground... (Limit-san)
(´め∀め｀)Wahaha - 'Rolling on the ground...' who is even narrating this, lol
I pictured Daisuke Miyagawa's face.

💎 A detective who, when asked for an alibi by a disgruntled suspect, explains, 'We're asking everyone involved, so it's just a formality,' while ostentatiously showing their police badge (Temari-san)
(´め∀め｀) Hahaha, so true, so true lol
The pattern where a question that is anything but 'formal' and actually gets right to the truth explodes right after that.

A woman who has been dumped brings out a knife from somewhere with bloodshot eyes and tries to stab the person, making a scene by saying, 'It's all your fault' (rira-san)
This one made me think of Miju Ozawa lol
If this happened in real life, it would be way too scary... (✪д✪)

A beautiful girl starts saying, 'It's all your fault' (Apollo-san)
The person doing the killing tends to say, 'It's all your fault'--- (´◔ﾛ◔)
I think that happens.

The person who gave the most sympathetic advice turns out to be the traitor and is in league with the culprit (Koredemo-ka-san)
That happens. There are times when it's seriously infuriating to watch.
Because 'This guy is the traitor?!' is often the highlight of the drama, right? lol

Nagisa Katahira teams up with a former handsome actor to investigate, but Momiji Yamamura is with a funny middle-aged actor and they don't solve the case easily. (Image) (kappa papaya-san)
This one is long too lol
Maybe kappa papaya-san is good at long-form answers!

A detective who is about to leave the scene turns back and asks, 'By the way, just one more thing' (Chizu-san)
That happens~. The pattern where you should have just asked that from the beginning lol
Gives me Ukyo-san vibes.

The gap when someone who doesn't seem scary at all laughs in a scary way (by Nino-shun)
Exactly. The culprit always laughs at the end, don't they? (✪д✪)
I get the gap. For an actor, I think of Fumiyo Kohinata.

Being invited out by a beauty (or handsome person) who is way out of your league (by Haru to Tomoni)
That's the pattern where you get carried away, accept the invitation, and then get done in, lol.
A hybrid answer that could also fit a death flag pattern.

The background scenery is Tojinbo (by peach-chan)
The holy land (?) of suspense, isn't it.
Actually, if they were filming a romantic comedy at Tojinbo, I'd want to watch it, lol.

🏆 Accidentally marrying Kazuyo Matsui (by camyu)
(´め∀め｀) Hahaha, that has nothing to do with the drama, lol.
Bringing up Kazuyo Matsui is just unfair (ﾉｼ*｀ω´*)ﾉｼ

Ah! Discovering a former child actor and thinking, 'That actress has grown up so much' (by Yonetomo)
Mana and Kana came to mind for me.
Like, 'Oh, that kid from that drama...' It's a father's perspective, lol.

💎 Investigating at Snack Bar 'Terminal Station' (Marmalade-san)
(´め∀め｀) Hahaha, the name of the bar, lol.
They're asked for a common trope, but they come up with such a specific bar name. I love it.

💎 The third person in the TV credits is the culprit (KOMA-san)
The culprit appears before the first commercial break (KOMA-san)
Inspector Kariya shows up everywhere (KOMA-san)
(´め∀め｀) Hahaha, three in a row from KOMA-san.
I think you watch too many suspense dramas, lol.

The moment the definitive evidence is presented, the culprit's personality suddenly changes and they start laughing maniacally (Why do they get so defiant when they have nowhere left to run? 🥺←) (aeu-san)
That's so true. I just think, why don't they just confess normally? lol
Maybe there's a fixed idea in suspense dramas that 'a culprit who has given up will laugh.'

👑 A detective who, while sipping coffee held in one hand, uses the index finger of their other hand to flick the blinds down slightly and look out the window (Nagomi-san)
(´め∀め｀) Hahaha, that's Yutaro, lol. That's not suspense at all, lol.
You got me. This is the winner for this round.

When you've pegged someone as the culprit, they end up dead... (Limit-san)
That's the classic pattern where the police mess up the investigation, lol.
In the end, it's the ordinary person who identifies the culprit who was initially off the radar.

Amateurs like hot spring innkeepers or a detective's daughter solving cases (Shirokuma Kirin-san)
Exactly this. The one I wrote above lol
The competence of those hot spring innkeepers is something else.

A detective running along the beach with a smile after solving a case (Tomone-san)
Well, the crime scene is usually a cliff, so lol
I guess it's like, 'Well, let's just run along the beach for now!' (Is that really how it is?)

A trusted family member is the culprit (Utsusupi-san)
They always betray you, that's just how suspense goes lol
The theory that just being 'trusted' is already a death flag.

An ordinary person who is neither a detective nor anything else is too competent and solves the case easily (Miyu-san)
There it is. The hot spring innkeeper pattern (There's no such pattern lol)
Even if it's to make the protagonist look good... it makes the trio from the First Investigation Division look pathetic watching it, doesn't it lol

💎 'Thank you for working so hard for me all this time,' they say, while committing murder... (Limit-san)
(´め∀め｀) Hahaha, so you were the one who killed them after all lol
This connects to Limit-san's answer from Topic 1. A combined technique for the win.

The person who goes incommunicado tends to surface (Mushi-Ebi-san)
That's the pattern where they go and reveal it themselves.
In a two-hour drama, they usually go incommunicado around 10:00 PM, haha.

Losing one's memory. (Setting aside whether it's true or not) (Mushi-Ebi-san)
So true. They conveniently make them get amnesia, don't they?
As an aside, the statement 'I was drunk and don't remember' is the one I hate the most, haha.

💎 They pull a knife straight out of their pocket or bag, or they tend to have a fruit platter sitting out (Yunagi Haruka-san)
(´め∀め｀) Hahaha, I get the fruit platter thing, lol.
Is the knife pulled out directly so they can cut fruit immediately? (That's not it, is it?)

💎 It's thundering and pouring rain outside the Western-style mansion (Tomone-san)
(´め∀め｀) Hahaha, Tomochika is going to show up, lol.
It's the world of Misa Yamamura. Surely, a phone will ring shrilly.

Man, that was fun. Thank you all again for participating ○┓
I know I'm being persistent, but for those who didn't get a mark this time, it was just based on my personal preference, so if this becomes an official project, please don't let it discourage you and feel free to participate again ○┓

Regarding Topic 2, I think it would have been okay to answer in a 'no way lol' direction, like 'wiping out the culprit with a yo-yo' or 'Nagisa Katahira and Eiichiro Funakoshi beating each other with stacks of cash.' It's like making a joke about the 'common trope' topic itself and daring to go the opposite way. Why am I giving such a serious explanation?

Well then, let's meet when this project is officially adopted.
This was Mero (´めωめ｀)ﾉｼ See you later
