Line 28:
* [[Amusing Injuries]]: Ryo, courtesy of a girl. Though ''well'' deserved most of the time.
* [[Badass Adorable]]: Sure, Kaori and the younger girls in the cast qualify, but it's actually ''Ryo'' in particular who personifies this trope through his lovably frank [[Casanova]] [[Adult Child]] behavior, coupled with a sweet and gentle sensitivity. [[Akira Kamiya]] sure is good at playing [[Fist of the North Star|sensitive and kind hearted badasses]], isn't he?
* [[BFG]]: A lot of them: Ryo uses a Colt Python .357 Magnum; Kaori uses her brother's own Colt Python, but also makes use of [[More Dakka|gatling gun, bazooka, grenades and giant hammers]]; Umibozu has a S&W Model 29 (the original .44 Magnum revolver), even if he usually fires a [[No Kill Like Overkill|machine gun or a bazooka]]; Miki, being Umibozu's partner, has a
* [[Bifauxnen]]: Kaori, due to androgynous good looks and a rather butch fashion sense, was often mistaken for a pretty man. Later in the series, she starts wearing tight skirts to clear up the confusion.
* [[Breaking the Fourth Wall]]: There are quite a few incidents. There is a sequence in the manga where Ryo and a client look at the clouds for 4 panels. Ryo wonders if the audience will start to think the mangaka is lazy. Another is when Ryo takes a bodyguard assignment twice in a row, and asks if the mangaka has run out of ideas. At another point, he uses speech bubbles to shield himself from Kaori's wrath, while she throws her's at him. Characters also run outside the panel or break them sometimes. [[Intense Close Up]] is also treated like the character's face ''literally'' getting larger.
* [[But Not Too Foreign]]: More than once, white girls that come to Japan for Ryo's protection are revealed to be half Japanese.
* [[Casanova]]: Ryo. He's actually a very successful one until Kaori came along...
* [[Cross Dresser]]: One of the movie's most highlighted point is about Ryo ([[Jackie Chan]])
* [[Dead Little Sister]]: Hideyuki. More exactly, he is Kaori's Dead Older Brother ''and'' Ryo's Dead First Partner.
* [[Dirty Old Man]]: Doc.
Line 73:
* [[Villainous Crossdresser]]: Ryo's worst nightmare.
* [[We Help the Helpless]]: the City Hunter team, though most of their jobs will involve shooting sooner or later.
* [[Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?]]: Ryo's afraid of flying. An episode of the anime where he
** An even earlier and more notable case is Umibozu's terrible fear of cats, especially if they're [[Tastes Like Diabetes|cute]] [[Cute Kitten|kittens]]. It leads to [[Crowning Moment of Funny|extremely funny scenes]], and to plot-point moments as well.
* [[Yuppie Couple]]: A particular man who [[Lampshade Hanging|notices Ryo the third time he crosses paths with him]] and even quotes [[Breaking the Fourth Wall|the episode numbers of their previous encounters.]]
