Line 13:
* [[Action Girl]]: Naoto and the Twins.
* [[Animal Motifs]]: Constant references to being 'stray dogs' on the edges of society.
* [[Anti -Hero|Anti Heroes]]
* [[Arm Cannon]]: Noki.
* [[Art Evolution]]: Given the several-year gap between the original ''DOGS'' and ''DOGS: Bullets & Carnage'', it's not much of a surprise.
Line 42:
* [[Crapsack World]]: Definitely...
* [[Creepy Twins]]: Luki and Noki.
* [[Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass]]: Badou.
* [[Cute Mute]]: Nill.
* [[Dark Action Girl]]: Freuling.
Line 51:
* [[Does Not Like Women]]: Heine has [[Flashback Nightmare|some]] [[Dead Little Sister|issues]] [[Abusive Parents|regarding]] [[Orphanage of Fear|women.]]
** {{spoiler|The last woman [[Mad Scientist|(Einsturzen)]] Heine really trusted [[Gone Horribly Right|turned him into a monster,]] the last woman [[Dead Little Sister|(Lily)]] he held close he ended up [[Half the Man He Used To Be|ripping to pieces.]]}} Despite knowing logically that [[Nigh Invulnerable|he has a lot less to fear]] from women than most men and other women do, Heine has every right to be afraid.
* [[Does This Remind You of Anything?]]: At one point, {{spoiler|Heine ends up straddling Naoto's stomach while her sword is impaling him through the stomach}}. [[Ship Tease|He even holds her face in his hands while it's happening.]]
* [[Dynamic Entry]]: Mihai does this once.
* [[Early Bird Cameo]]: Badou shows up very briefly (and even gets a line) in Mihai's intro chapter. Luki and Noki show up a few pages later (though they look [[Off -Model]] compared to later). Haine is first mentioned briefly in Badou's intro chapter.
** In the equivalent [[OVA]] episode of Badou's intro chapter, you get an actual visual shot of a [[Shirtless Scene|shirtless]] Haine.
* [[Eerie Pale -Skinned Brunette]]: Naoto, Freuling and Magato.
* [[Enemy Within]]: {{spoiler|Heine. In his mind, he and the "thing" [[No, Mr. Bond, I Expect You to Dine|sit down and have a nice chat over lunch]] in chapter 55.}}
* [[Enfante Terrible]]: Luki and Noki.
* {{spoiler|[[EverybodysEverybody's Dead, Dave]]: Poor Heine and Giovanni.}}
* [[Evil Albino]]: Sort of. See [[Enemy Within]].
* [[Eyepatch of Power]]: Badou.
Line 66:
** [[Flashback Nightmare]]: Heine gets something like this when females touch him.
** [[Whole Episode Flashback]]
* [[Four -Temperament Ensemble]]: Badou is sanguine, Heine is choleric, Naoto is melancholic and Mihai is phlegmatic.
* [[Get a Hold of Yourself, Man!]]: Heine and Naoto have a moment of this.
* [[Giggling Villain]]: Luki and Noki.
* [[Girl With Psycho Weapon]]: Luki and Noki.
Line 75:
* [[The Gunslinger|Gunslinger]]: Badou guns down tons of people and never seems to get hit. On one occasion, he does this with his arms literally [[With My Hands Tied|tied behind his back]].
* [[Guns VS Swords]]: Heine versus {{spoiler|Magato}}.
* [[Half -Human Hybrid]], including [[Petting Zoo People]]
* [[Heartwarming Orphan]]: Nill, namely towards Heine.
* [[Heroic Albino]]: Heine, though he's more of an [[Anti -Hero]].
* [[Heroic Neutral]]: Most of the protagonists, when they're not being bodyguards or info brokers and the like.
* [[Heterosexual Life Partners]]: Badou and Haine.
** "I'm only going to say this once: our relationship isn't like that."
* [[Hey ItsIt's That Voice]]: [[Takahiro Sakurai]], who voices Heine Rammsteiner in the [[OVA|OVAs]], also voices Cloud Strife from ''[[Final Fantasy VII]]: [[Advent Children]]'', another spiky-haired anti-social and psychologically damaged [[Super Soldier]] with a [[Dark and Troubled Past]]. The fact that they both wear [[Badass Longcoat|sleeveless black longcoats]] while kicking ass is a bonus.
* [[Hidden Depths]]
* [[Hidden Eyes]]
Line 90:
* [[Improbable Weapon User]]: Haine's guns aren't improbable on their own, but they're connected with a chain, which he uses to strangle someone at one point. Luki's giant claw may also count.
* [[Katanas Are Just Better]]: Naoto and Freuling use them.
* [[Kick the Dog]]: When Einsturzen comes to the surface and starts just [[Hannibal Lecture|verbally sniping at]] Miss Liza and her gang and referring to them as cattle. [[Where Do You Think You Are?|In their own establishment.]]
* [[Knife Nut]]: Luki, Naoto and Magato.
* [[Limited Wardrobe]]: Only for some characters.
* [[Luke, I Am Your Father]]: Sibling, in this case. {{spoiler|Pretty much anyone who reveals to Haine that they have a Cerberus spine.}}
* [[The Man Behind the Man]]
* [[Mark of the Beast]]: Not really a marking, per se, but everyone with a Cerberus spine has a metal collar attached to their neck.
Line 120:
* [[Shower of Angst]]
* [[Slasher Smile]]
* [[Small Girl, Big Gun]]: Noki.
* [[Smoking Is Cool]]: Badou smokes like a chimney or three - whenever his bad luck doesn't keep him from doing it.
* [[Sociopathic Hero]]: Heine. Badou has his moments, too.
* [[Spell My Name With an "S"]]: Haine or Heine? Mihai or Michai? The latter ones are the official spellings ("Heine Rammsteiner" is also obviously a German name), but probably due to the scanlation, most people use the former ones.
** Einstellsehn or Einsturzen?
* [[Super Deformed]]
* [[Tall, Dark and Bishoujo]]: Freuling
* [[Team Shot]]
* [[Technicolor Eyes]]: Luki and Noki
Line 132:
** And then there's Badou Nails, named for Nine Inch Nails.
* [[Theme Twin Naming]]: Luki and Noki
* [[Token Mini -Moe]]: Nill, Luki, and Noki.
* [[Trauma Induced Amnesia]]: Naoto
* [[Trademark Favorite Food]]: Luki and Noki with spaghetti from Buon Viaggio.
Line 143:
** Subverted again when {{spoiler|we learn they were not her parents}}
* [[Weirdness Magnet]]: Badou is something like this.
* [[White -Haired Pretty Boy]]: Haine.
* [[Winged Humanoid]]: Nill
* [[With Great Power Comes Great Insanity]]
