Line 19:
* [[Always Save the Girl]]: Unusually, by ''another'' girl.
* [[Amazon Brigade]]: The team of female [[The Men in Black|Men in Black]] led by Blue Eyes.
* [[Ambiguously Jewish]]: Nadie, who mutters "oy vey" on a regular basis, at least in the dub.
** Doug Rosenberg, as well, if his name is any indication.
* [[Ancient Conspiracy]]: The Witch Coven.
* [[Angel Unaware]]: In the middle of Mexico/South of Mexico, there is an inn run by an old man; who apparently is really the Hopi Fertility Deity Kokopelli. He takes the form of a white author who died 3 years prior to the plot.
* [[Anime Accent Absence]]: Despite taking place mostly in Mexico and South America, there are rarely any accents.
** Partially averted in the dub where some accents get used and even some lines of Spanish in the first episode to establish the world of the
* [[Apologises a Lot]]: Iris.
* [[Artificial Human]]: {{spoiler|Ellis and L.A.}}
Line 63 ⟶ 62:
* [[Cloudcuckoolander]]: Ellis is somewhere between this and an [[Ambiguous Disorder]].
* [[Code Name]]: L.A.
** [[Fridge Brilliance]] implies that "Ellis" is actually "L.S." (And see ''Meaningful Name'', below, for more information on ''that''.)
*** In which case, [[Fridge Horror|what happened to L.B. through L.R.]]?
* [[Cold Sniper]]: Blue-Eyes in episode 21.
Line 129 ⟶ 128:
* [[Meaningful Name]]: Several.
** It's obvious that "Ellis" is actually "L.S."; Rosenberg actually pronounces it as separate letters when Nadie and Ellis finally meet him for the first time.
*** At the same time, "Ellis" is also [https://web.archive.org/web/20220419220721/https://tme.miraheze.org/wiki/Ellis_(sigil) one of the names of the "Linking Sigil"], a rune from Chaos Magick designed "to link locations believed to be imbued with magical power and create a network of energy that can be accessible and harnessed by magical practitioners of any paradigm".
** "Rosenberg" is German for "rose mountain"; given the role the "Inca rose" crystals play in the plot -- particularly in the mountain redoubt of the witches at the end -- it's clear that it's an intentional echo.
* [[The Men in Black]]: In the OP only, there is one guarding a brainwashing facility for Rosenberg, but given he's wearing a sombrero and smoking a pipe, that sorta takes away the mystique. He's only in one episode, and doesn't do anything. Blue Eyes does utilize a couple of WIB henchladies though.
Line 141:
* [[Mythology Gag]]: In episode 4, Ellis brandishes a fork as a "weapon". In ''[[Noir (anime)|Noir]]'', {{spoiler|Kirika killed Chloe with a fork.}}
* [[Sean Connery Is About to Shoot You|Nadie Is About To Shoot You]]
* [[Nice Hat]]: Ricardo and Lirio both have distinctive hats that are part of their character identity.
* [[No Guy Wants an Amazon]]: Seems to affect Nadie, for the most part. The only guy ever shown to be interested in her was a con artist who wanted her money.
Line 155 ⟶ 146:
* [[Odd Name Out]]: "Maple Leaf", again.
* [[Ominous Latin Chanting]]: Not Latin, but still ominous.
* [[One-Dollar Retainer]]: In episode 24, as part of a plan to make sure both Ellis and Lirio are protected, Ricardo convinces Nadie to formally hire him to go out and fight L.A., for all the cash she has in her pockets -- which turns out to be a couple of 10-centavo coins (literally one cent, US). A professional bountyhunter, Ricardo gives the assignment all the serious effort and consideration that he would to a job contracted at his normal price.
* [[Only Known by Their Nickname]]: Through most of the series, Jody is only known as "[[Blue Eyes]]".
** It's implied that "Ellis" is more a nickname than a proper name.
* [[Only One Name]]: Primary heroines, no less; also L.A., Lirio, and Ricardo.
* [[Opening Narration]]: Done by Blue Eyes in the latter half of the series.
Line 177 ⟶ 170:
* [[Shipper on Deck]]: By the end of the series, Ricardo is shipping Ellis/Nadie.
* [[Shotacon]]: Seriously, that scene in episode 10 with {{spoiler|Rosenberg whispering to LA.'s ears while the latter was naked}}... Then that strange hug in episode 24. Just seeing the attitude which with Rosenberg treats L.A. doesn't seem to make it too hard to believe that L.A. is, you know, not very virgin.
* [[Sleep Cute]]: In episode 15, Ellis and Lirio.
* [[Slasher Smile]]: L.A.
Line 183 ⟶ 175:
* [[Smash Cut]]: Used in episode 21, to make the audience think L.A. has [[Moral Event Horizon|murdered a young flower girl]]. The next scene shows that {{spoiler|she's just fine, and was happy that he bought all her flowers}}.
* [[Sneeze Cut]]
* [[South of the Border]]▼
* [[So What Do We Do Now?]]: Episode 26.
* [[The Sociopath]]: Rosenberg. He wants what he wants, and he really doesn't care who has to get hurt as long as he gets it.
▲* [[South of the Border]]
* [[Spicy Latina]]: Nadie.
* [[Spiritual Successor]]: To ''[[Noir]]'' and ''[[Madlax]]''.
