B't X: Difference between revisions

* [[High Heel Face Turn]]: A noticeable aspect in this series. Pretty much ''every'' female character who serves in the Machine Empire, such as Salome, Karen, and Nasha, will end up having the brains to help Teppei by the end. {{spoiler|Too bad that ''all'' of them die in at least one version of the story with the sole exception of Karin.}} In addition, of all the Devil Knights, the sole female Salome is the only one to decide to help Teppei once she regains her faith in humanity. Unfortunately, {{spoiler|[[Kick the Dog|Juggler had different ideas.]]}}

* [[Hollywood Atheist]]: As a child, Foh [[Dead Little Sister|lacked tact]].

* [[Hyperspace Mallet|Hyperspace Armor]]: The fighters summon their armor out of thin air.

* [[Idiot Hero]]: He grows out of it eventually, but Teppei's VERY MUCH this trope for a good chunk of the series. It takes a double whammy of {{spoiler|him almost getting X killed and Fou telling him how much of a fucking loser he is}} for him to wise up.

* [[Musical Assassin]]: Foh uses a ''violin bow'' as a weapon to go along with Je T'aime's attacks.

* [[Must Make Amends]]: Marcellos does a ''lot'' of very, very stupid and amoral things, striving him to do everything he can to help Kotaro when that time comes. In the anime, his knowledge of the tower's layout is utterly crucial.

* [[Nietzsche Wannabe]]: Gai is the philosopher of the empire, but also a firm believer that [[Humans Are Bastards]].

* [[Nuclear Weapons Taboo]]: Averted. Hokuto's radiation sickness was triggered by being just outside the direct killzone of a nuke that destroyed his home and family and he's got the burns on his back to prove it. {{spoiler|Aramis also tries to kill Raphaello by loading Rosemary up with every nuclear warhead she can find and performing a [[Heroic Sacrifice]], but Raphaello's power makes it a [[Senseless Sacrifice]].}}

* [[Rescue Arc]]: Essentially the entire series.

* [[Retired Badass]]: Kaos ([[Spell My Name With an "S"|Caos]]) from the anime.

* {{spoiler|[[He's Back|She's Back]]: Karen, now sporting a [[Dark Is Not Evil|Black]] [[Action Girl|female version of BT' X]]}}.

* [[Ship Tease]]: [[Cybernetics Eat Your Soul|Metal Face]] implies Karen had feelings for Foh, though he inmediately rebuffs this.
