Line 23:
----
Tropes seen in this series:
* [[A-Team Firing]]: Kaori, despite in some episodes is armed with [[Small Girl, Big Gun|everything]] [[More Dakka|but the kitchen sink]], can never hit a single baddie. The Manga establishes this when Ryo secretly had Kaori's gun adjusted so each shot would hit wide of the mark, therefore ensuring that she never gets her hands bloodied in this business.▼
* [[Adult Child]]: Ryo's emotional maturity outside of work is questionable at best.
* [[Akira Kamiya]]: Ryo's voice.
* [[Amusing Injuries]]: Ryo, courtesy of a girl. Though ''well'' deserved most of the time.
▲* [[A-Team Firing]]: Kaori, despite in some episodes is armed with [[Small Girl, Big Gun|everything]] [[More Dakka|but the kitchen sink]], can never hit a single baddie.

* [[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 tendence to draw the less ridicously big guns in his closet, who [[Small Girl, Big Gun|are still quite big for anyone else's standards]]...
Line 37:
* [[Dirty Old Man]]: Doc.
* [[Distracted by the Sexy]]: Saeko relies on this a bit much for a police officer.
* [[Everything's Better with Princesses]]: A good number of stories involve the protection of princesses of [[Hollywood Atlas|fictional eastern and island kingdoms]] from evil pretenders to the throne. And if they aren't princesses, then they're [[The Ojou|Oujo]] of a rich Japanese family, with either [[Evil Uncle|
* [[Evil Laugh]]: Ryo's is a rare ''heroic'' and ''lovable'' example, used whenever he is about to go on another "mokkori hunt."
▲* [[Everything's Better with Princesses]]: A good number of stories involve the protection of princesses of [[Hollywood Atlas|fictional eastern and island kingdoms]] from evil pretenders to the throne. And if they aren't princesses, then they're [[The Ojou|Oujo]] of a rich Japanese family, with either [[Evil Uncle|EvilUncles]] aiming for their heritage, or being in danger of [[Damsel in Distress|being kidnapped]] for a ransom.
* [[Fair Cop]]: Saeko
* [[Fashion Victim Villain]]: One of the [[Monster of the Week|Villains Of The Week]] in an [[In-Universe]] example of this.
Line 48:
* [[Handsome Lech]] and [[Chivalrous Pervert]]: Ryo sways between the two depending on the situation... and whether or not Kaori and her ultra-heavy mallet are around.
** Ryo's friend and rival Mick Angel also qualify for both tropes.
* [[Hyperspace Mallet]]: [[Trope Namer]]▼
* [[Hitman with a Heart]]: Ryo, Umibozu, Mick.
▲* [[Hyperspace Mallet]]: [[Trope Namer]]
* [[Improbable Aiming Skills]]: Played straight with Ryo. Inverted with Kaori, who can't shoot straight. Literally. {{spoiler|This was done on purpose by Ryo, apparently, to make sure she never kills anyone.}}
* [[Jerk with a Heart of Gold]]: Ryo, you the man.
Line 55:
* [[The Loins Sleep Tonight]]: Ryo is unable to get it up after being stung by genetically engineered bee with a super-potent venom. It was a side-effect of the antidote.
* [[Lovable Sex Maniac]]: Ryo.
* [[The Masochism Tango]]: Ryo and Kaori.
* [[Mythology Gag]]: The cafe run by Umibozu and Miki is named "[[Cat's Eye]]".
