{{tropelist}}
* [[Affectionate Parody]]▼
* [[Affably Evil]]: Tsutsumu is this to a T.
▲* [[Affectionate Parody]]
* [[Alliterative Name]]: Riley Rosenbaum▼
* [[All Your Powers Combined]]: Played straight {{spoiler|then deconstructed when it gets Alex killed}}.
▲* [[Alliterative Name]]: Riley Rosenbaum
* [[Animesque]]: The series mixes obvious Japanese references with American culture. And then there's the art.
* [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking]]: "There's plenty to save the world from--zealots, corruption, bigotry, disease, [[
* [[Art Evolution]]: As the series progressed, the looser, scribbley art became much more refined, though it still kept its fairly simple art style. The format also started as very tiny panels in a horizontal format as the artist originally planned to stream the comic on cell phones. As this technology was too costly at the time of the comic's run, the author changed the format and slowly reverted the older comics to follow the Yonkoma format with larger art.
* [[Author Appeal]]: An in-universe example, wherein {{spoiler|Ms. Konk's creator, who is male, refuses Alex's and Riley's request that he build a really hot guy robot rather than a really hot girl robot.}}
* [[Badass Longcoat]]:
* [[Bare Your Midriff]]: Riley's ultimate power [http://www.venisproductions.com/angelmoxie/riley.html costume].
* [[Beauty, Brains, and Brawn]]:
** Riley - Brains
** Tristan - Brawn
** Alex - Beauty
* [[Berserk Button]]: As it turns out, {{spoiler|Tsutsumu}} has an extreme temper if provoked enough, leaving an opening for the girls to exploit.
** Calling Vashi [http://www.venisproductions.com/angelmoxie/archives/5/5/554.html an old lady] is not the wisest thing to do in combat.
Line 40 ⟶ 39:
* [[Chronic Backstabbing Disorder]]: Tsutsumu
* [[Dark Magical Girl]]: Tristan at the start of the series, though this is resolved before Alex even realizes they're on opposite sides.
** Shugari is a spin on this. While not sad, lonely, and dark (she's actually quite bubbly and sociable) she's also an evil baddie.
* [[Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?]]?: Literally. Shortly after freeing the evil Vashi, Tristan punches her out of the window of her tower fortress.
* [[Died Happily Ever After]]: Happens to {{spoiler|Mr. Kyokasho, who dies to take out one of Shugari's monsters. He visits the heartbroken Riley in a dream to make sure she knows he's okay, and does the same for the earthbound Miya.}} Later, towards the end of the series, {{spoiler|Miya as well, who bids her farewells before she passes on. The epilogue shows her reuniting with Mr. Kyokasho and them rekindling their old relationship.}}
Line 46 ⟶ 45:
* [[The Dragon]]: Vashi
* [[Evil Is Not a Toy]]: With much [[Lampshade Hanging]].

* [[Exposed to
* [[Eyes Always Shut]]: Grant Kyokasho. {{spoiler|He opens them only once after he's absorbed an insane amount of magical power, which he proceeds to use to blow up one of Shugari's monsters to save the girls.}}
* [[Faceless Eye|Faceless Eyes]]: In the beginning, {{spoiler|before Tristan breaks all of the barriers to release her power}}, Vashi appears as just a glowing, floating pair of eyes.
* [[Foreshadowing]]: {{spoiler|When the second seal is broken, non-magical entities are effected by time slowing down. Though Miya doesn't know why Riley also isn't slowing down, it hints that she has powers of her own.}}

** Riley, ''the Scholar'' -- Ego▼
** Tristan, ''the Warrior'' -- Id▼
* [[Gender Blender Name]]: Alex, Riley and Tristan.
* [[Genki Girl]]: Shugari.
Line 62 ⟶ 65:
* [[Jumped At the Call]]: While the responsibility of saving the world makes her hesitate in the beginning, Alex promptly Jumps at the Call after her first [[Transformation Sequence]]. Possibly because of the discovery that she had the power of [[Flight]].
* [[Junior High]]
* [[Killed Off for Real]]: {{spoiler|Grant Kyokasho blows up his mortal self in a [[Heroic Sacrifice]]. Fortunately, the higher-ups were so impressed with his bravery that they decide not to force him to [[Reincarnation|reincarnate]] and he keeps his job in the [[Celestial Bureaucracy]]}}. Also {{spoiler|Yzin kills Alex during the final battle. Immediately followed by a [[Back
* [[Mass Hypnosis]]: The N'Tune Boys concert.
* [[Meaningful Name]]: Alex, Riley, and Tristan all have gender neutral/masculine name. {{spoiler|They are three (girl) incarnates of three boy heroes.}}
** In the character bios on the site, Alex is revealed to be short for Alexandria, which means "defender of mankind", as the bio itself says. Riley's name isn't shown to have a significant meaning, but Tristan's bio says her name means "sadness".
** Also Miya's last name "Gato", which is Spanish for "cat". She takes the form of a feline on earth to mentor the girls.
*** Don't forget her first name either. "Miya" when spoken sounds like "meow" and "neko" is Japanese for "cat."
