''Busou Renkin'' (literally "Arms Alchemy") follows [[The Hero|Hero]] and [[Ordinary High School Student]] Kazuki Muto, who one night is killed trying to protect a mysterious girl who was being attacked by a monster. However, to his surprise, he wakes up again the next day, seemingly good as new. It turns out it wasn't a dream either when the girl, Tokiko Tsumura, shows up again, informing him that she felt responsible for his death and resurrected him with the power of Alchemy. From here on Kazuki discovers his own powers and, together with Tokiko, journeys into the world of Alchemists and their [[Improbable Weapon User|Renkin]] as they fight the monsters known as [[Artificial Human|Homunculi]]. No, not the ''[[Fullmetal Alchemist]]'' ones, though there is definite overlap between the series theme wise.

* [[Blessed with Suck]]: Becoming a Victor.

* [[Brain Bleach]]: some of Papillon's antics will have you reaching for some. Quoting Ouka in episode 17:

** Gozen ''falls apart'' on seeing {{spoiler|the mankini}}.

* [[Brain Food]]: What Victoria's been eating all these years.

* [[Incurable Cough of Death]]: Subverted with Papillon, who despite becoming immortal is ''still'' sick with the cough o' death.

* [[Ironic Echo Cut]]

'''Every student who sees them''': ''"Those two look suspicious!''" }}

* [[It Runs in The Family]]: The Chouno family's, ''eccentric'', fashion sense.

* [[What Do You Mean Its Not Symbolic]]: In episode 2, when Kazuki leaps into the air to dodge the frogs' attack, you get a clear shot of the moon with a strange ring around it. It turns out that that's the alchemical symbol for Gold... or also the Sun.

* [[What Is Evil?]]: Papillon invokes this after Tokiko brutally kills a humonculus, but not before telling it that it would feel the pain of hell before she kills it.

** To be fair, she warned them repeatedly that she'd splatter their guts.

* [[What the Hell, Hero?|What The Hell,]] [[Big Good]]?: Victor calls out the Commander for repeating the mistakes of the past {{spoiler|when Kazuki becomes Victor-ized and is automatically slated for termination.}} Turns out that was a launching point for his [[Unstoppable Rage]] against alchemists upon reviving.
