Line 16:
* [[Art Shift]]: The animation in the second half of the OVA was more cartoony. Also the animation in the seventh and twelfth episodes of the second season of ''Decode'' is looser and sketchier than the rest of the series, but expresses extreme momentum and force in the scenes where it is used.
* [[Bathtub Bonding]]: As noted above, Tsuotmu's dad tried to do this with his son, but ended up discovering Birdy.
* [[Batman in My Basement]]: In the OVA, Tsutomu has to keep his situation hidden from his family. This ended-up making his family think he's crazy as he seems to be yelling to himself, his father (in an attempt at [[Bathtub Bonding]] with his son) [[Accidental Pervert|catching a nude Birdy in the bath after she switched with him]], his family to wonder why the son is [[Naked People Are Funny|running around the house in the nude]], and his sister accuses him of [[Cross DresserCrossdresser|crossdressing]] when Birdy decides to "borrow" some of her clothes. Averted in ''Decode'', where the sister has moved out and only checks in on him, and [[Parental Abandonment|his parents have left due to the father's job, leaving Tsutomu alone]]. The trope remains in the remake manga, though Birdy has her own clothes for being a little less conspicuous.
* [[The Berserker]]: Birdy, to the point that she's earned the nickname "Berserker Killer Birdy."...though, it bears mentioning, the machine she killed in revenge for Violin's death was known as a Berserker.
** It also bears mentioning that in the remake manga and its currently-running sequel, she goes berserk when pushed enough.
Line 43:
** And they make such a cool sound, so who can blame the designers?
* [[Combat Tentacles]]: Bacillus uses these in fighting Birdy
* [[Cross DresserCrossdresser]]: Birdy (in the OVA) would sometimes shift into her form, but still wear Tsutomu's clothes.
** She does it a few times in the remade manga, too, despite being bigger than him.
*** She also did the same thing in the original manga.
Line 68:
** [[Furo Scene]]: One scene in the OVA and frequent use in ''Decode''. Birdy also loves baths in the manga, since it's much more relaxing than the adjustment tub on her ship.
** [[Full-Frontal Assault]]: A heroic version. As opposed to the OVA, Birdy in the original manga did not don her uniform when Bacillus was outside of Tsutomu's house and confronted him in the nude.
** [[Funbag Airbag]]: When Geega threw Tsutomu at Birdy in the original manga, Tsuotmu ends up slamming into Birdy and his face end up slamming into her chest.
** [[Impossibly Low Neckline]]: Birdy's outfit sports this.
** [[Leotard of Power]]: Birdy's outfit.
Line 162:
** Justified in season 2, where {{spoiler|one of the escapees explicitly says he wanted to go to the place where the Ryunka was used}}.
** An earlier episode implies that the amount of alien activity in Tokyo is actually not unusual for a city its size. Presumably every comparable city on Earth has lots of disguised aliens running around, too.
* [[Training Fromfrom Hell]]: {{spoiler|What Birdy goes through as a kid in preperation to be a Federation officer.}}
* [[Twelve-Episode Anime]]: The ''Decode'' series. Literally in the case of the second season.
* [[Tyke Bomb]]: In ''Decode'', {{spoiler|Birdy, as part of being a super soldier, was trained as a little kid how to fight in preparation for her being becoming an investigator}}. In the manga, {{spoiler|she receives similar harsh training since she's an Ixiora.}}
