Things get complicated a year after she returns from the dead when Ouri, the adopted brother of her contracted monk, starts stumbling across her missions and taking an interest in the whole thing. Makina insists he doesn't get involved, but to no avail.

Line 22:
* [[Anyone Can Die]]
* [[Attack Reflector]]: One episode featured a shikabane who could make his opponent take any damage they try to inflict on him. When Minai hit him in the face, she got thrown back as if she was the one who got hit, with a bruise on her face in the same spot she hit the shikabane.
* [[Author Appeal]]: At least one person involved with making the anime adaptation must have thought this; compare Rika in the [http://www.mangathat.com/mangas/Shikabane_Hime/5/18_shikabane_hime.jpg manga]{{Dead link}} to the [https://web.archive.org/web/20111205032533/http://cdn.myanimelist.net/images/characters/11/40204.jpg anime version].
* [[Bare-Fisted Monk]]: Minai's perfered fighting style is unarmed with only her spiked gauntlets.
* [[Beauty Equals Goodness]]: A Shikabane is fairly ordinary looking/attractive until it goes all crazy and stuff, at which point they turn into horrible monsters for more power. [[Justified Trope]]? Maybe.
Line 31:
* [[Blood Brothers]]: Ouri and Keisei become some sort of this, because {{spoiler|to contract a Shikabane, the Contractor must have his own blood written in his palm by his Shikabane. This contract is transferable. Before Keisei died, he transferred the glowing red seal of Makina to Ouri.}}
* [[Boobs of Steel]]: While it is true that some of the series' [[Action Girl|Action Girls]] are quite buxom, this trope is really more inverted than played straight. Itsuki and Freshe are by far the bustiest Shikabane Hime, but they are relatively weak fighters compared to Makina and Kamika, both of whom have fairly modest assets, not to mention [[Cute Bruiser|Saki]], who's too young to have developed breasts at all. And Nozomi, one of the bustiest girls in the series, is just an ordinary high school student with no real fighting ability whatsoever.
* [[Bottomless Magazines]]: Makina fires something like 500 rounds each from her dual [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MAC-11 machine guns] before changing magazines.
* [[Brainwashed and Crazy]]: Nozomi in episode 19 and 20
* [[Buxom Is Better]]: this is the opinion of Ouri's friend Ushijima. He openly complains about the lack of busty women in their class and obsesses over Nozomi because of her breasts, calling her "Omune-sama" ("Breast Goddess" in the dub).
