009-1: Difference between revisions

* [[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.

* [[The Great Politics Mess-Up]]: Pretty much the whole thing.

* [[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.}}

* [[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.
