 * Healing Factor: In the first episode, Natsuki inadvertantly shoots Batanen right in the head. He shrugs it off as a minor injury and quips that he'll be right as rain by the next full moon, then uses it as an excuse to heckle the nurses for the next several episodes.
 * Henpecked Husband: Mudagami.
 * Human Mom, Nonhuman Dad: Inverted for Natsuki: human dad, non-human mom.

 * Kissing Cousins: Tommy and Batanen are cousins. In the manga, one of Tommy's very first scenes features Batanen dragging him a shower to blow off some steam.
 * Law Enforcement, Inc.: It's unclear if all police are bounty hunters or not; there are signs of an official police force, but it isn't really expanded on.

 * Sitcom: Despite having some of the trappings of a Police Procedural, the series is this.
 * Space Jews: Sakura is from Osaka, ergo she is a crafty trickster spirit that robs and kills people to absorb their powers, and is a stingy haggler of epic proportions.
