-----
* [[Above the Influence]]: Dee makes it very clear that he'd love to have his way with Ryo, ''almost'' to the point of [[Black Comedy Rape]], but the one time that Ryo offers himself up in a moment of emotional weakness, Dee [[Get a Hold of Yourself, Man!|hits him]] and tells him that only the worst kind of dickhead would take advantage of him under those circumstances.
=== This series provides examples of: ===
* [[Above the Influence]]: Dee makes it very clear that he'd love to have his way with Ryo, ''almost'' to the point of [[Black Comedy Rape]], but the one time that Ryo offers himself up in a moment of emotional weakness, Dee [[Get a Hold of Yourself Man|hits him]] and tells him that only the worst kind of dickhead would take advantage of him under those circumstances.
* [[Action Girl]]: Diana is beautiful, sexy, and a talented martial artist.
* [[Aerith and Bob]]: Characters with names like "Randy" or "Carol" spend time with ''Bikky'' as if nothing were unusual.
Line 32 ⟶ 31:
* [[Breather Episode]]: Expect any serious plotline to be followed up with a silly Bikky and Carol chapter.
* [[Broken Pedestal]]: {{spoiler|Dee's foster father, Jess, and J.J.'s former partner, Max.}}
* [[Brother -Sister Incest]]: {{spoiler|Implied with Charlotte, the girl Ryo loved as a teen, with her brother.}}
* [[Buddy Cop Show]]
* [[BusmansBusman's Holiday]]: During their vacation to England. They did try to subvert this trope but ended up caught up in the murder investigation.
* [[But Not Too Foreign]]: Ryo, who is half Japanese and half caucasian, raised in America.
* [[Character Overlap]]: Lai and Lass are the main characters of ''RA-I'', by the same author.
Line 44 ⟶ 43:
* [[Cloudcuckoolander]]: Ryo can... er... be not quite connected to reality all the time. The first time Carol pick-pockets him ''within the precinct'' was because he looked so out of it that [[Too Dumb to Live|she just couldn't resist.]]
* [[Cowboy Cop]]: Mainly Dee, but most of the 27th Precinct have their moments, even Ryo.
* [[Crazy Jealous Guy]]: Dee can move completely into this trope at warp-speed if he feels motivated enough. Ryo can also suffer from [[Green -Eyed Monster]] syndrome on occasion, and when he does...
{{quote| '''Dee''': And holy shit, but you can be an awfully catty bitch!}}
* [[Da Chief]]: Dee and Ryo's long-suffering superior, Chief Warren Smith.
Line 51 ⟶ 50:
* [[Dogged Nice Guy]]: Dee, of the Type 2 "Patient Friend" variety, though he takes more of a [[Chivalrous Pervert]] approach to it.
* [[Dynamic Entry]]: Dee gets some good ones, such as when Ryo is in danger in Act 5. In the manga he arrives on the scene fist-first, punching Leonard right in the face; the anime adaptation takes it even further by having him crash through a window on a motorcycle.
* [[EverythingsEverything's Worse With Bears]]: A teacher in a bear costume menaces Carol at a school camp as part of an intended fireside prank until Bikky intervenes with a stun gun. {{spoiler|Somewhat unsurprisingly, it turns out to be a real bear after all.}} Bikky rather prudently decides to grab Carol and run for it once he figures it out, and becomes a hero to his fellow students for living to tell about it.
* [[Fair Cop]]: Most of the on-panel members of the 27th Precinct, starting with Dee and Ryo and excepting only Chief Smith.
* [[Fake Out Make Out]]: Dee and Ryo pull one to hide Carol, at Dee's enthusiastic instigation.
* [[Five -Man Band]]: The SCIU.
** [[The Hero]]: Ryo, he's pretty much the leader of the group. No matter what Dee thinks.
** [[The Lancer]]: Dee, as stated above is the [[Cowboy Cop]] and [[Foil]] to Ryo.
Line 64 ⟶ 63:
* [[Gayngst]]: Ryo struggles to deny the fact that he's in love with Dee for ''six freaking volumes!'' It makes things even more frustrating because ''[[Everyone Can See It|everyone]]'' including the entire [[Fourth Wall]] [[Everyone Can See It|Can See It]]. The fact that Dee patiently waits for him to sort things out for ''two years'' even surprises Ryo.
** In ''FAKE II'', {{spoiler|even after he starts dating Dee, he still worries what people like Bikky will think.}}
* [[Get a Hold of Yourself, Man!]]: When Ryo offers to have sex with Dee after his traumatic encounter with his parents' murderer, Dee punches him.
* [[Gratuitous English]]: All over the comic, especially "Go Go Bikky!" [[Yonkoma]]. Of particular note would be Carol turning down a guy with "fuck you, motherfucker!"
* [[Green Eyes]]: Dee.
Line 73 ⟶ 72:
'''Diana''': Your mama told me.<br />
'''Bikky''': My mama?! Ohhh, you mean Ryo! }}
* [[Have I Mentioned I Am Heterosexual Today?]]: Ryo initially tried fending Dee off by protesting that he's straight, although privately he thinks that he may have to start admitting some things about himself. He drops the tactic pretty quickly, though it takes him six volumes to actually get around to identifying himself as gay.
* [[Hero Stole My Bike]]: Dee steals a motorcycle to race back to the English hotel when he realizes Ryo is in danger.
* [[Hey ItsIt's That Guy]]: Hey! [[Outlaw Star|Jim]] has two daddies!
** [[Mobile Fighter G Gundam (Anime)|Domon Kasshu]] is Dee.
* [[Hopeless Suitor]]: JJ to Dee, Berkeley to Ryo.
* [[Implausible Deniability]]: Ryo has a tendency to get extremely [[Green -Eyed Monster|jealous]] whenever someone puts the moves on Dee. Even when it's [[Abhorrent Admirer|JJ]]. He then proceeds to deny it vehemently.
** Also, Lai and Lass maintain that they have absolutely no supernatural abilities of any sort... even after ''flying'' in front of numerous witnesses. On multiple occasions.
* [[I Need to Go Iron My Dog]]: One kid tells Bikky "I gotta go home and feed my mongoose." Another says he has to help his sister with her homework. Given the kid's intelligence, Bikky finds the two equally implausible.
Line 104 ⟶ 103:
* [[Pair the Spares]]: Berkeley and Diana hooking up was no surprise. {{spoiler|Drake and JJ}}, on the other hand, came out of left field...
** Although Drake ''has'' been following JJ around since at ''least'' volume 3. Enough [[Wild Mass Guessing|paranoid]], [[Genre Savvy]], or [[Die for Our Ship|sufficiently determined]] [[Shipping|shipper]] already had that one down somewhere mid-series.
* [[Post -Kiss Catatonia]]: Drake in the epilogue {{spoiler|after JJ plants one on him.}} Prior to that, in an example that's not played for comedy, Ryo's left sitting on the floor in shock after the second time Dee kisses him, until an emergency snaps him out of it.
* [[Precocious Crush]]: Bikky, with both Carol and Diana. Aww.
* [[Sensitive Guy and Manly Man]]: Ryo and Dee, respectively.
Line 112 ⟶ 111:
* [[Sick Episode]]: The manga has two separate sick chapters; first Ryo gets sick and is cared for by Dee, and later Dee gets sick and is cared for by Ryo.
* [[Slasher Smile]]: Several examples from the less sane criminals.
* [[Spell My Name With an "S"]]: The official English subs of the anime romanize Carol's name as "Cal," and the owner of the hotel in the English vacation story is "Renard" in the manga but "Leonard" in the anime.
* [[Stoic Spectacles]]: Berkeley Rose.
* [[Straight Gay]]: The 27th precinct has an unusually high density of men who like men, but the only one with any camp tendencies at all is JJ.
Line 131 ⟶ 130:
* [[Where's the Kaboom]]: Played with during a hostage crisis, Dee bluffs the bad guys by telling them a retractable ballpoint pen is the detonator for a bomb hidden in the character's base. When he clicks the pen, his bluff seems to have been called - but then the bomb, which Ryo had previously set for 10 pm, goes off as scheduled.
* [[White Gang Bangers]]: Have shown up a couple times.
* [[White -Haired Pretty Boy]]: Leo Grant is described by his wife to be a platinum blond.
* [[Will They or Won't They?]]: Ryo and Dee, though it's mostly a case of "will he or won't he?" with Ryo, since Dee makes his motives clear quite early on.
** {{spoiler|[[They Do]]: In volume 7.}}
* [[Wire Dilemma]]: {{spoiler|Dee chooses correctly.}}
