Line 20:
=== Tropes in this program include: ===
 
* [[A Day in Thethe Limelight]]: Almost the whole series due to the large main cast. The episodes are chronical but can stand on their own; there is an overarching plot, but it only gets visible around the second half of the series starts.
** Notable examples for characters outside the main cast: commissioner Saejima and Regina, as well as [[One-Hit Wonder|Inspector Miura.]]
* [[All in The Manual]]: It exists as an official manga. Apart from data about the main characters, it had story chapters that fleshed out the characters of the Scotland Yard Brave Police who didn't have more than one or two short cameos in the show. {{spoiler|The manga also revealed that Kagero was alive, addressed in its own story.}} Unfortunately the manga is quite rare and wasn't [[No Export for You|sold outside of Japan.]]
Line 66:
* [[Running Gag]]: Saejima's imagine spots, combined with his internal [[What Do You Mean It's Not Awesome?]]. Or when he dresses in one of his silly costumes, like the pink overall.
* [[Secret Government Warehouse]]: Deckerd was built in one. Yuuta found it by accident when he fell down a hidden vent and landed in the underground laboratory. The warehouse or rather the basement is an important setting in several episodes after the debut.
* [[Shout-Out]]: Does [[Blade Runner (Film)|Deckerd]] dream of electric sheep, I wonder?
** Episode 2's villain, Noriyasu Kato, is based on Yasunori Kato, the [[Villain Protagonist]] of ''Teito Monogatari.''
** {{spoiler|The [[The Pied Piper of Hamelin|Hameln Project]]; the mind-control signal that affects Super-A.I.s is sent out the fortress' figurehead's mouth, evoking the image of a siren.}}
** There's a reporter in the first episode reporting about a crime in Detroit. The reporter's name? [[Robo CopRoboCop|Alex Murphy!]]
* [[Sliding Scale of Idealism Versus Cynicism]]: Very much on the idealistic side, although the show never loses focus of the cynical and darker aspects of sentient robots living among and working for humans. See [[Just a Machine]] above.
* [[Sliding Scale of Silliness Versus Seriousness]]: The show regularly slides between the two extremes. Silly episodes making fun of themselves (the giant panda comes to mind) alternate with episodes of dramatic and serious content.
* [[Spell My Name Withwith an "S"]]: Power Joe is sometimes mistranslated as Power Joh or Powerjoe.
* [[Super Robot Genre]]
* [[Technopath]]: The Gaizonite in its first appearance can control electric systems, including the A.I.s. of the by that point not-sentient Built Team trio. Its powers don't affect Deckerd because of his Super-A.I. and his sentience. {{spoiler|Victim later removes this obstacle when he puts Gaizonite's mind into a Super-A.I. chip and it brainwashes Deckerd.}}
Line 84:
** There were rumors about a sequel or spin-off of the show, partly focusing on the Scotland Yard Brave Police.
* [[What Do You Mean It's Not Awesome?]]: The panda episode.
* [[What Happened to Thethe Mouse?]]: If {{spoiler|King, Bishop, Pawn and Rook survived after the Hameln Project took control of and forced them to shoot at each other.}} It feels like [[Mood Whiplash]] that this was never addressed - Regina even enjoys a picnic a few episodes later after their apparent demise. She doesn't even say a word about them.
** Given what the main characters have survived in regards to injuries, the four could be fine. It's possible this subject was treated off-screen.
** The other members of the Scotland Yard BP: Ace, Jack and Ten. If not for the manga we would know nothing about them or their characters.
