Line 10:
* [[Action Girl]]: Chiko
* [[Beach Episode]]: Though fairly short and containing less [[Fan Service]] than normal.
* [[Beware the Nice Ones]]: {{spoiler|Angie, who doesn't snap so much as she was always out to get Chiko, and seems oddly jealous of her even when playing nice. Angie also provides nice examples of [[The Dragon]] (playing a Chiko to Tiger's Twenty in the first narrative arc) and [[Ax Crazy]].}}
* [[Big Brother Instinct]]: Ken and Chiko. It's so blatant that multiple characters [[Lampshade Hanging|hang a lampshade]] on it.
* [[Brick Joke]]: {{spoiler|The Anastasia Ruby}}
Line 18:
* [[Cool Ship]]: Twenty and his gang use a double-balloon airship as their main mode of transportation.
* [[Dangerous Sixteenth Birthday]] and/or [[Growing Up Sucks]]: Shunka has to cram all the excitement and wacky adventures she can get into her life before she turns sixteen and {{spoiler|gets stuck in an arranged marriage, which she figures will require her to become respectable and dull.}}
** Later subverted. {{spoiler|She seems to like her new fiance a lot.}}
* [[Dead Little Sister]]: At least two, belonging to {{spoiler|Shunka and Akine}}
* [[Everybody's Dead, Dave]]: {{spoiler|Episode 6, oh god. The only ones left after Tiger and his gang kill everyone are Chiko and Ken. Twenty's fate is left ambiguous, however.}}
* [[Evil Eye]]
* [[Exact Eavesdropping]]: Played straight ''twice'', first when Chiko finds out that Twenty wants a successor and hints that he wants it to be Chiko (d'aww) and again when she overhears a significant amount of plot exposition from Kayama in episode 8.
* [[Expy]]: The "white-haired demon" is a dead-ringer for Suigintou from [[Rozen Maiden]] and seems to share her cruelly jealous personality. {{spoiler|She's even got the doll-joints down.}}
* [[Foe Yay]]: {{spoiler|Kohei Kakihara}} is obsessed with Twenty Faces to the point, where he changes his appearance to look exactly like him and later tries to take Chiko under his wing. His main goal is to obtain Twenty's legacy, as he feels it was stolen from him a long time ago by Twenty himself.
* [[Eyepatch of Power]]: {{spoiler|Ken, after episode 6. The character also takes a turn for the [[Darker and Edgier]] at this point.}}
* [[First Law of Gender Bending]]: Hans dressing up as a girl in Twenty Faces' circus.
* [[Gentleman Thief]]: Twenty, of course; he's practically the embodiment of every Gentleman Thief ever. Not really a [[Phantom Thief]] because Twenty is a showman above all.
* [[Great Detective]]: Chiko, good thing for her health too. Also, she doesn't really use her powers of deduction for ''legal'' purposes...
* [[Heir to the Dojo|Heir To The "Dojo"]]: Chiko, although it isn't really a dojo she inherits {{spoiler|and thanks to episode 6 there isn't that much to inherit.}}
* [[Heroic BSOD]]: Predictably, {{spoiler|the first half of episode 7}}.
* [[Hey, It's That Voice!]]: Chiko is played by the famous Aya Hirano, although Chiko sounds nothing like [[Suzumiya Haruhi|Haruhi Suzumiya.]] Shunka, who does not appear until fairly later in the series but is a major character, is voiced by Rina Satou, who is Negi in all adaptations of [[Negima]].
* [[Hollywood Density]]: Skipper effortlessly brings back ''two'' big cases filled with gold. By himself. Even underwater, just one case would already have been too heavy for ''several'' strong men to lift.
* [[Huge Guy, Tiny Girl]]: Well, Kayama is "tiny" only compared to Tsuya in episode 8.
* [[If You Kill Him You Will Be Just Like Him]]: Subverted first in that Twenty applies this philosophy to '''everyone''', not just "big villains", who oppose himself and his gang, as his objective is "taking treasures from pigs" and he has no reason to want to cause actual harm (plus {{spoiler|he has some kind of war-related past that has made him hate killing and suffering}}); he even dissuades [[Knife Nut]] Ken from killing people. Later on, {{spoiler|the whole thing is subverted ''again'' in episode 6 when everyone, even Twenty, must kill or they absolutely will be killed themselves.}}
* [[Ill Girl]]: Subverted somewhat in that Chiko ''gets better'' once {{spoiler|Twenty takes her away from her relatives who are poisoning her to death with Aconite}} and goes on to be the main character.
* [[Informed Ability]]: Twenty Faces is supposed to be very clever, but his plans are actually pretty transparent, so it's weird that most anyone falls for them.
* [[It Works Better with Bullets]]: Twenty Faces pulls this off in the very first scene of the show. Chiko doesn't take too long to follow in his footsteps.
Line 79:
** It didn't, but it did take a major change in direction.
* [[Worthy Opponent]]: Twenty Faces and Akechi Kogorō.
* [[Villain Takes an Interest]]: {{spoiler|Kohei Kakihara}} is genuinly impressed by Chiko's fighting spirit and asks her if she wants to become a daughter of {{spoiler|real Twenty Faces.}}
