{{Tropelist}}
* [[Aliens Are Bastards]]: {{Spoiler|VIRM is a organization of aliens interested in assimilating other lifeforms. The Klaxosaurs refused such assimilation so VIRM choose violence. Once they see a window for it, they also assimilate most of mankind by force, and try to convince the rest, the Parasites, by appealing for their desire for peace, only to be rebuked}}.
* [[And Now for Someone Completely Different]]: Episode 7 is narrated by Ichigo instead of Hiro like previous episodes.
* [[As You Know]]: In Episode 3, Hachi explains the method the kids must use to defeat the klaxosaurs in this way.
* [[Beam-O-War]]: Zero Two's mecha engages in one with a Klaxosaur in Episode 1. It loses badly, to the point of being sent flying back, but the creature is also stunned temporarily.
* [[Beach Episode]]: In Episode 7, Squad 13 is given a vacation on a beach as reward for defeating the Klaxosaur in the previous episode.
* [[Big Bad]]: {{Spoiler|Turns out the war was started by APE, a front for the organization VIRM, under the leadership of Papa, with the Klaxosaurs fighting in self-defense. In fact, the humans weren't even around when the conflict started, and the current war is a second stage of APE's advance}}.
* [[Bittersweet Ending]]: {{Spoiler|A lot of people die, including Hiro and Zero Two, but mankind wins, survives and thrives, through VIRM swears vengeance. Centuries later, Hiro and Zero Two are reincarnated, implying they will become a couple again}}.
* [[Curb Stomp Battle]]: Episode 1. Once Hiro joins Zero Two, Strelizia manages to easily dispose of the giant lizard-like klaxosaur.
* [[Fanservice]]: As far as the eye can see. There's a lot of scenes in girls in their underwear, Zero Two is [[Going Commando]] in the first ''opening'', et cetera et cetera. Isn't very surprising the manga adaptation was given to the same artist of ''[[To LOVE-Ru]]''.
* [[Ironic Nickname]]: The "Parasites" seem to be the working class of the human species, in other words, the last thing they're doing is stealing resources without giving compensation for it.
* [[Implausible Deniability]]: In Episode 4, Hiro and Zero Two come to the control room in their battle uniforms. Nana says they can't go and wearing the uniforms will not change her decision. Zero Two says she didn't say anything, that is technically correct, but it's hilariously obvious how she wanted to fight.
* [[Loophole Abuse]]: In Episode 3, Hiro can't cross an barrier inside the base because he isn't allowed because of his status, but Zero Two can. She solves this by making Hiro cross the barrier along with her, touching her body.
* [[Mechanical Lifeforms]]: The klaxosaurs resemble machines, and sound like them.
* [[Theme Naming]]: Parasites generally have two-digit codes. The fact Zero Two only has one is already an in-universe signal she is abnormal.
* [[Unwitting Pawn]]: {{Spoiler|Mankind had been led into a conflict with the Klaxosaurs over the use of magma energy without being aware that APE is actually a front for an alien organization that was using them as a expendable army and finally killing them too to eliminate any competition}}.
* [[You Are Number Six]]: Parasites don't have proper names, rather they have codes. This didn't stop Squad 13 of naming themselves according to the kanjis of the numbers. By example, 015 is Ichi(1)go(5).
