[[Describe Topic Here|One can describe Dead Leaves here.]] Alternately, one can describe the end result of an [[X Meets Y|unholy fusion of]] ''[[FLCL]]'' and ''[[Superjail (Animation)|Superjail]]'' [[This Is Your Premise On Drugs|made after doing a rhino-sized dose of super-distilled crack cocaine and LSD]].

Line 22:

* [[Anyone Can Die]]: Guards and inmates alike end up slaughtered by various means -- and they don't come back. At the end of the OVA, the amount of survivors from the prison break Pandy and Retro orchestrate numbers in the ''low single digits''.

* [[Appropriated Appellation]]: Pandy and Retro name each other in this way upon waking up.

* [[Arson Murder and Jaywalking]]: Pandy and Retro both receive life sentences for "tresspassing, theft, violence, assault, illegal possession of firearms, and having a really crappy attitude."

* [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking]]: Pandy and Retro both receive life sentences for "tresspassing, theft, violence, assault, illegal possession of firearms, and having a really crappy attitude."

* [[Author Appeal]]: The character designer (and director) also worked on ''[[Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann]]''; take a look at Chinko Drill's... "equipment."

* [[Aw Look They Really Do Love Each Other]]: Pandy and Retro react this way when they're first separated at prison. It's an oddly sweet moment, especially considering the characters and the rest of the story.

* [[Aw, Look -- They Really Do Love Each Other]]: Pandy and Retro react this way when they're first separated at prison. It's an oddly sweet moment, especially considering the characters and the rest of the story.

** [[Violently Protective Girlfriend|Pandy's reaction]] to {{spoiler|Retro having his head ripped off by the Big Bad}} also qualifies, as does {{spoiler|their reaction after they finally escape Dead Leaves.}}

** A bit of [[Reality Subtext]] (see below) makes this especially funny and heartwarming.

Line 60:

{{quote| '''Retro''': "DAMN IT FEELS GOOD TO BE VIOLENT!"<br />

'''Retro''': "My ass! OH DEAR GOD, it's sucking my ASS!" }}

* [[Laser Guided Amnesia]]: Pandy and Retro have no memory of their past, but know how to get out of their straitjackets and handcuffs, and know their way around the prison.

* [[Laser-Guided Amnesia]]: Pandy and Retro have no memory of their past, but know how to get out of their straitjackets and handcuffs, and know their way around the prison.

* [[Licking the Blade]]: 666 does this during his fight with Pandy, remarking "I can taste your panties."

* [[Lull Destruction]]: The dub is an example of this ''[[Woolseyism|totally]]'' [[Woolseyism|working]]. The vast majority of the quotes on this page are dub-exclusive, as the people in charge of the Japanese script forgot to add much humor until they were at least halfway done.

Line 75:

* The [[Number of the Beast]]: 666 and his sidekick 777, [[Johnny the Homicidal Maniac|The Number Of The Moose]].

* [[Offhand Backhand]]

* [[Off Model]]: The visuals are extremely stylized and there is actually no model. Yes, even [[Off Model]] [[Tropes Are Not Bad|can be good.]]

* [[Off-Model]]: The visuals are extremely stylized and there is actually no model. Yes, even [[Off-Model]] [[Tropes Are Not Bad|can be good.]]

* [[Only Known By Their Nickname]]: We don't actually get told if Pandy and Retro even ''have'' real names (because after a certain point...does it even matter?). They get "Pandy" and "Retro" because, respectively, Retro observes that the mark on her face makes her look like a panda bear, and Pandy retorts that that old-school TV on Retro's head makes him look like a dumbass.

* [[Only Sane Man]]: Retro when he's not around Pandy. Pandy, otherwise.

Line 98:

* [[Those Two Bad Guys]]: 666 and 777 (pronounced Triple-Six and Triple-Seven in the dub).

* [[Transforming Mecha]]: Lots here, but of particular note is one that transforms from [[Overly Narrow Superlative|a dump truck's back]].

* [[Dual Wielding|Triple Wielding]]: Retro pulls this off. '''Somehow.'''

* [[Dual-Wielding|Triple Wielding]]: Retro pulls this off. '''Somehow.'''

* [[TV Head Robot]]: Retro

* [[You All Look Familiar]]: Both played comically straight and spectacularly averted. On Earth, ''every single person'' [[Only Six Faces|looks the same]] (with an [[Eyes Always Shut]] [[Only Six Faces|face]]), but on the moon, ''every single one'' of the prisoners -- even those who show up for a background appearance -- possess a unique appearance.

* [[You Fail Biology Forever]]: The mutants, in general.

* [[What Do You Mean It Wasn't Made On Drugs]]

* [[What Do You Mean It Wasn't Made On Drugs?]]

* [[World of Ham]] [[World Gone Mad|Gone Mad]]: Well, it's actually the moon. Everyone there looks and acts insane and hams it up at every possible moment.
