Line 14:
* [[Abuse Is Okay When Its Female On Male]]: Aria tends to use this trope on Kinji.
* [[Actor Allusion]]: [[Rie Kugimiya|Aria]] screams "[[Shakugan no Shana|Urusai!]]" ("Shut up!") a lot.
** In the [["On the Next..."]] preview for Episode 11, Aria forgot Kinji's name. She guesses he could be [[Shakugan no Shana|Yuuji]] or [[Zero no Tsukaima (Light Novel)|Saito]], names of male leads from [[Rie Kugimiya]]'s previous [[Tsundere]] shows. Kinji claims to be [[Toradora (Light Novel)|Ryuuji]], who shares [[Junji Majima|the same seiyuu]] as Kinji, and she believes him.
* [[Academy of Adventure]]: Butei High, naturally.
* [[The Ace]]: Aria. She can be a one-girl assault team, able to handle any situation with nary a sweat, catch any criminal, so on and so forth... but [[Lethal Chef|can't cook]].
Line 102:
* [[Did Not Do the Research]]: Currently in the light novels Kinji wields a Desert Eagle he inherited from his father, however the only draw back is that because of the recoil he can only use it in Hysteria Mode, which is odd because the Desert Eagle is known for it's extremely light recoil due to the fact that the gun's weight compensates for the force and energy from the bullet leaving the gun.
** Potentially justified by the fact that Kinji's father was an "Armed Prosecutor", one of the few occupations with a license to kill, and it's implied that they are sent against target as dangerous as (or even more so than) Kinji in Hysteria Mode. So it's rather doubtful that a normal Desert Eagle could be used as an accurate benchmark for that particular one.
* [[Don't You Dare Pity Me!]]: A rare heartwarming twist on this trope: When Kinji and Aria helped {{spoiler|Riko}} defeat {{spoiler|Dracula}}, hence reclaiming her freedom and dignity, she was clearly filled with love and gratitude for both of them. After a moment, her professional pride in her {{spoiler|Lupin}} heritage returned, forcing her to recompose herself and declare her rivalry towards them anew; albeit one built on respect rather than hatred this time.
* [[Dual-Wielding]]: Aria. {{spoiler|Riko apparently can too.}}
** Though, for {{spoiler|Riko}}, it's technically {{spoiler|[[Up to Eleven|Quad Wielding]]}}
Line 136:
** {{spoiler|Riko is the great-granddaughter of Holmes's archnemesis, [[Arsène Lupin]].}}
** {{spoiler|Jeanne is the distant descendant of, [[Exactly What It Says On the Tin|well]], Joan Of Arc.}}
** {{spoiler|Reki is the descendant of [[Genghis Khan]], who also went under the name of [
** {{spoiler|Patra of I-U is descended from [[Cleopatra]].}}
** {{spoiler|Shirayuki is the descendant of and is actually named after [
** {{spoiler|Aya Hiraga descended from [
** {{spoiler|1=KoKo, one of the enemies of Volume 6-7, is a descendant of [
** {{spoiler|Elle is descended from Sherlock's assistant, [[The Watson|John Watson]].}}
** {{spoiler|Kinji himself is probably descended from [
* [[Fan Girl]]: [[Bishonen|Ryou]] apparently has a lot of these.
* [[Fan Service]]: Expected of this kind of [[Harem Series|series]]. One notable example was when Kinji accidentally caught Aria leaving the shower naked. Another one is Riko reaching into her bra and showing almost everything down there.
Line 149:
* [[Fetish Fuel Station Attendant]]: Riko, oh delicious Riko.
* [[Fiery Redhead]]/[[Rose-Haired Girl]]: Aria
* [[First Kiss]]: {{spoiler|Kinji and Aria, which also works as a [["Shut Up" Kiss]] for Aria to calm her down after she was revived from being critically hit by Riko, and a deliberate Hysteria Mode activation for Kinji.}}
** {{spoiler|Kinji also takes Shirayuki's to calm her down and of course, trigger Hysteria Mode}}
** {{spoiler|After receiving her crucifix back, Riko comments that she even sacrificed her first kiss for a chance to prove herself}}
Line 160:
* [[Fluffy Tamer]]: Reki, who tames a giant wolf into submission ''using bullets'' in a few minutes.
* [[Foe Yay]]: {{spoiler|There's loads between Kinji and Riko, and even some between Riko and Aria (the anime images only help this one).}}
* [[Foreshadowing]]: The anime OP has Aria waiting for a train at the [
** Reki's taming of the wolf can be viewed as this too, considering {{spoiler|her later method for 'catching' a husband...}}
* [[French Jerk]]: {{spoiler|Riko, though she's portrayed as more [[Freudian Excuse|sympathetic]] and [[Broken Bird|emotionally-shattered]] than most examples.}}
Line 174:
** Kinji too, to a lesser extent, due to his exposure to Riko. In Volume 7, Kinji even says {{spoiler|"In terms of Riko's games, it would be like entering "Reki's route."}}
** Also Shirayuki.
* [[Girl
* [[Girls Love Stuffed Animals]]: Played straight with Aria and "Leopon". When Aria gets scared by thunder, Kinji brings out a Leopon and makes it talk to comfort her.
* [[Girls With Guns]]
Line 308:
* [[Patient Childhood Love Interest]]: Shirayuki.
* [[Playing With Fire]]: {{spoiler|Shirayuki's power. It helps in the fight against [[An Ice Person]], Jeanne d'Arc the 30th.}}
* [[POV Boy, Poster Girl]]
* [[Power Levels]]: Butei have a rank level -- for example, Aria is a top-dog Rank S, while Kinji is a bottom-of-the-barrel Rank E (in normal mode, at least -- [[Almighty Janitor|under HSS, however, he has the skills of a Rank S]] [[Up to Eleven|and possibly even higher than that]].
* [[Prehensile Hair]]: {{spoiler|Riko}} is able to manipulate her incredibly long ponytails with the agility of actual limbs, and use them to wield knives in combat.
Line 324:
* [[She Is Not My Girlfriend]]/[[He Is Not My Boyfriend]]: Kinji and Aria frequently invoke these.
* [[Shock and Awe]]: Turns out Hilda can shoot out electricity at her enemies, although the drawback is she doesn't generate her own she just manipulates it like a transformer.
* [[Shout
** The final shot of the opening credits, in which Aria shoots out a rose, is reminiscent of Saeba Ryo doing the same in the second opening of ''[[City Hunter]]''.
** Riko's name may be one to both {{spoiler|[[Lupin III|Fujiko Mine and Arsene Lupin the 3rd]]. Also, her (unwanted) title "Lupin the 4th" is a nod to said show depicting the legendary gentleman thief's grandson.}}
Line 331:
** {{spoiler|Sherlock Holmes'}} "Study in Scarlet" of the titular ''Hidan'', or "Scarlet Ammo", is a clear reference to the title of the first Sherlock Holmes novel ''A Study in Scarlet''.
** {{spoiler|In Volume 7 Kinji's official team is named Team Baskerville which is a reference to a Holmes novel ''The Hound Of Baskerville''.}}
** The whole OVA episode is a [[Shout
* [[Shrinking Violet]]: Misaki Nakasorachi is a stuttering ditz. A definite cutie, though this keeps her stuck as a B-Rank despite being, ironically enough, an excellent [[Mission Control]].
* [[Small Girl, Big Gun]]: Reki and her big-ass sniper rifle.
