009-1: Difference between revisions

The dubbed version of the series can currently be watched for free on Funimation's official video portal [http://www.funimation.com/009-1/episodes here]

----

* [[Action Girl]]: Mylene

* [[Amazon Brigade]]: Mylene and her teammates.

* [[Artistic License Physics]]: In the finale on the Moon, {{spoiler|9-1 and Loki}} are flying above the surface in a shuttle type craft, being chased by two other such craft. They first deploy a parachute, which is then cut loose after opening to block their enemy's view. Then, when the second craft continues chasing, the fuel tank is hit and they're forced to use ejector seats, with a specific mention of the Moon's lower gravity as a reason why they'll be able to avoid the shuttle tailing them. This works, and forces the chasing shuttle to crash - with the two characters parachuting to safety on the surface. The problem? Parachutes can't work on the Moon, because it has practically no atmosphere to speak of! One wonders how they could get the gravity right and still completely neglect that fact.

* [[The Baroness]]: Rosa Klebb variation in the first anime episode; Mylene actually seduces her for info on her mission.

* [[Femme Fatale]]: Mylene, as one of the very rare protagonist examples. She uses her female charms as a weapon, aside of her [[Action Girl]] skills.

* [[Frozen in Time]]: For the anime.

* [[Grey and Gray Morality]]: Although in all honesty it skirts the fine line between being Black and Black morality and would most likely be so if it weren't for the fact that the series explicitly states that even though all the characters the viewer sees are amoral, there ARE good people working in both their governments. Mylene herself doesn't seem to have much morality as she'll unquestionably take pretty much all assignments without batting an eye {{spoiler|including murdering children.}}

* [[Hammer and Sickle Removed For Your Protection]]: In the anime, it's just the "Eastern" and "Western" blocs.

* [[Hannibal Lecture]]/[["The Reason You Suck" Speech]]: Mylene delivers one to Egg the sniper about his "killing style" {{spoiler|just before she kills him.}}

* [[Honey Trap]]: One would think that Mylene was specifically designed for doing things like this. It's entirely possible that she was.

* [[Hotter and Sexier]]

* [[Long-Lost Relative]]: {{spoiler|Loki is Mylene's younger brother, who was believed to have died with the rest of Mylene's family when they tried to defect to the Western Bloc.}}

* [[Modesty Bedsheet]]: Which gets damaged more than once, thanks to her Machine gun boobs.

* [[Never Found the Body]]: {{spoiler|Loki in the last episode of the anime.}}

* [[Orphanage of Fear]]: Mylene was placed in a teenage girls' version of this, after her family died trying to escape the "Eastern Bloc".

* [[Pure Is Not Good]]: At some point, 9-1 meets a young woman who she can only describe as "pure." Later, the woman tries to kill her when 9-1 tries to stop her from meeting up with enemy agents. {{spoiler|It turns out that the girl is actually an android made mostly out of very pure gold that the enemy agents were trying to smuggle out of the country.}}

* [[Retro Universe]]: The series takes place 130 years after the start of the Cold War, but everything, even the sci-fi elements, still have a decidedly 60's feel to them. [[Justified Trope|Justified]], of course, in that the source material was written in the late 60's/early 70's.

* [[Robot Girl]]

* [[Rogue Agent]]: One episode involves Mylene tracking down her former mentor, who disappeared with information on a top secret Eastern Bloc weapon after having a change of heart about his mission. {{spoiler|Mylene herself goes rogue by the final episode to try and save the mutant children involved in experiments related to said weapon.}}

* [[Spy Fiction]]: "Dirty Martini" -- [[Technicolor Ninjas|Technicolor Ninja]] [[Ninja Zombie Pirate Robot|cyborg spy girls with miniskirts and machinegun breasts]], traveling the world and looking ''great'' doing it... while taking part in stories about betrayal, tragedy, and moral ambiguity, with no happy endings to be found.

* [[Status Quo Is God]]: The world political situation at the end of the anime is just about where it was at the beginning.

* [[Torpedo Tits]]: One of the parts of the show viewers are likely to know through [[Popcultural Osmosis]]. Mylene's modifications include breasts that fire "bio-bullets", which she frequently uses as a [[Nothing Up My Sleeve|secret weapon]] when a seduction suddenly goes bad. (See [[Modesty Bedsheet]], above.)

* [[Well-Intentioned Extremist]]: {{spoiler|Dr. Green and Loki, trying to save the psychic mutant children that the Eastern Bloc experiments on and the Western Bloc exterminates, but at the same time using them as an unwitting psychic weapon to try and turn the Cold War into an actual war, wiping out both blocs so the mutants can take their place.}}

* [[Your Head Asplode]]
