Line 17:
* [[Break the Cutie]]: Mylene's backstory of orphanhood, abuse and secret agent missions, which makes her a...
* [[Broken Bird]]
* [[
* [[Censor Suds]]: When Mylene gets out of the bath in the 2nd episode.
* [[Chainmail Bikini]]: Not the whole thing, but when Mylene gets captured, and her captors know about her...secret weapons, they'll usually slap a metal bra on her to keep her from using them.
Line 32:
* [[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.}}
{{quote| '''Mylene:''' Killing isn't a style. ''It's just killing.'''}}
* [[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]]
* [[Last Episode New Character]]: The prologue to the last episode has a montage of Mylene's fellow agents from the manga who never managed to get an episode in the series (although viewers might recognize some of them from [[Evolving Credits|the silhouettes]] in the [[Team Shot]] from the opening credits.)
* [[Long
* [[Modesty Bedsheet]]: Which gets damaged more than once, thanks to her Machine gun boobs.
* [[Monochromatic Eyes]]: Some character's eyes have no whites or pupils, and are just a solid mass of some eye color. Somewhat justified in that this is Ishinomori's style.
Line 49:
* [[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.}}
* [[Shout Out]]: The last episode of the anime features ersatz versions of the [[Space: 1999|Eagle]] and the [[UFO|SHADO Mobile]] during Mylene's trip to the Moon.
* [[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.
* [[Technical Pacifist]]: Egg the sniper is a partial example. If he's contracted to kill someone, he'll do it, but for everybody else he goes the [[Trigun|Vash the Stampede]] route. However, this isn't due to any kind of pacifist beliefs, instead just being one of his many arrogant quirks.
* [[Too Dumb to Live]]: Once again, Egg the sniper. Despite his traditional one-shot killing method proving inneffectual against Mylene, he continues to play-act as if he's James Bond around her, despite the whole 'gentleman assassin' thing not even being a part of his obsessive-compulsive shtick. He procedes to give away all his killing secrets, give Mylene all the openings she could want to kill him effortlessly (she only doesn't to fully prove her [["The Reason You Suck" Speech]] as detailed elsewhere), and even agrees to a battle tailored to give up his advantages and let her win. He never once considers that someone who's explicitly told him she doesn't give a crap about anything other than results and who thinks he's an idiot would lie to him about her own secrets.
* [[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
* [[Why Am I Ticking]]
* [[Your Head Asplode]]
