tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Laconic/Otakutvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/DorkKnight-Yonezawa Masago apparently tries to fashion herself as a Tough Girl Delinquent but you only have to spend all of five minutes with her to learn she's actually a total space nerd who will tell you at length about her dreams of being an astronaut, something she wants more than anything, and she's a generally cheerful, friendly, funny and upbeat girl but she's also a brawler. It's mentioned that she beat up a Gaijin Streamer in the past for harassing her, has gotten into fights in the past, and is confident in choosing a baseball bat for a weapon against the mysterious stalker. Masago might be more of a geek than the likes of Chidori or Kira but she's still badass in her own right. Time will tell how her superheroine career unfolds. tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Laconic/GenkiGirl-Both Masago and Tahara fall into this category. tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Laconic/RealismInducedHorror-After the opening of Yonezawa and her friends going through school and interacting and having fun, it gets turned completely on its head at the end of the school day when she walks up to her shoe locker to discover someone had stuffed a creepy love poem into it without anybody noticing anything! While she takes it in stride, it's still undeniably creepy and she quickly goes home with Tahara backing her up, informs the police, then the entire town via social media, then carpools to the meteor shower...all of which are implying that Yonezawa was more afraid than she let on. tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/MagicMeteor-A number of these fall to Earth all around the planet after the meteor shower. Subverted in that the 'magic' is actually microscopic alien parasites. tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Laconic/ParasiticHorrortvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Laconic/PuppeteerParasite-The Xulidians are some nasty, nasty monsters. They are a hivemind of microscopic alien parasites that land on their targeted planet within the meteorites, camouflaged within a meteor shower, and patiently wait for the targeted dominant species, in this case humans, to come upon them and then they emit a signal that entices them to come over and touch the meteorite. At which point the parasites slip out of the meteorites and into their targeted hosts. Once that happens they go right ahead and start multiplying through the body of their host, which is an agonizing process that causes the host to become violently ill for a while, until they are able to completely control the host. At that point? The host's mind is locked away by the parasites in a mental prison while they take over and puppeteer the body to continue the infiltration. We've only seen it happen to one person for now but with the meteorites landing all around the planet? That means it's happening all around the world! We haven't even seen all of what they can do just yet and they're already more terrifying than any of the big and loud invasions you usually get in movies...or the Secret Invasion's Snoozevest from the MCU! BAM! tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Laconic/TheWoobie-Poor, poor Tadamichi. By all accounts he was a nice, friendly, smart, well behaved kid, just an average guy, who had his own group of friends at school. Then he gets bodyjacked by space parasites, suffers for an entire day from the effects of the parasites infiltrating his body and then his mind is locked into a mental prison by the Xulidians with Tadamichi utterly powerless to do anything about it or warn anybody about it. tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Laconic/AndIMustScream-The fate of everyone successfully infected by the aliens. tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Laconic/HiveMind-The Xulidians do not possess any sense of individuality, collective refer to themselves as we, speak in unison and can communicate in real time aorund the world and even across interstellar distances due to all of them being part of a greater hivemind. tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Laconic/PsychicLink-How The Xulidians communicate. tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Laconic/AssimilationPlot-The Xulidians plan ultimately boils down to infecting everything on a planet to puppeteer them and use their bodies as hosts to terraform their planet into an insectoid hive. The free will and refusal of the other species means nothing to them.
