Line 32:
* [[Armies Are Evil]]: {{spoiler|Aww, poor Futaba. Oh, and Glen, too.}}
* [[Armor-Piercing Slap]]: Aquarion uses this on Futaba.
* [[Artistic License Physics]]: {{spoiler|Solar Aquarion}} creating additional mass from within itself sounds like this [[Shown Their Work|but it's based on the mahima]] [http[wikipedia://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siddhi |siddhi.]]
* [[Art Shift]]: Used as a [[Mind Screw]] by Futaba.
* [[Barbie Doll Anatomy]]: Most notably in the Gattai sequences and when an incapacitated Element User is teleported out.
Line 66:
** Yes, this does mean that the pilot being replaced comes out at mission control completely naked. Invariably results in [[Barbie Doll Anatomy]].
* [[Combining Mecha]]
* [[Cosmic Plaything]]: Reika, who is really, ''really'' unlucky, and tends to avoid human contact whenever possible to prevent her bad luck from "rubbing off" on those close to her. Pretty much exists to [[Freak -Out]] and get swapped with someone else.
* [[Cosplay]]: Played completely serious. Fed up with the Element Users constantly playing the blame game, Fudou gets the idea (from Sirius' words, no less) to have each member portray another Element User, assuming their appearance and personality. [[Hilarity Ensues]] from the matches (Apollo and Sirius, Silvia and Reika, Pierre and Chloe, Jun and Tsugumi; while it would seem that Sophia and Fudou have swapped, it turns out that {{spoiler|Fudou has been impersonating Rena ''the entire time''}}), but there's a method to his madness. By seeing through the eyes of their comrades, each Element User [[Be Yourself|is able to accept who they are]], as well as appreciate the unique traits that their comrades bring to the table, understanding that together, any trio can compensate for the shortcomings of the individual units.
** The same episode shows that Jun is an [[Otaku]] who regularly attends Anime and Cosplay conventions.
Line 81:
* [[Elegant Gothic Lolita]]: Rena, who always wear such an outfit, and who is also {{spoiler|a vampire}}.
* [[End of Series Awareness]]: You know that [http://danbooru.donmai.us/post/show/31589/ triangle] that flashes whenever the Aquarion gets a new attack? The very last one of the series reads "-AQUARION FINAL EPISODE- I HOPE TO BE CONTINUED."
* [[The End or- Or Is It?]]: After Pierre deals with his addiction problem, Jun is shown displaying the same symptoms, and even caps off the [["On the Next..."]] dialogue with an anguished scream. [[Subverted Trope|nothing of the sort happens in the next episode or ever again]].
* [[Everything's Better With Princesses]]: Silvia.
* [[Face Heel Turn]]: {{spoiler|Sirius}} near the end of the anime. Complete with a snazzy [[Evil Costume Switch]].
Line 103:
** {{spoiler|Touma, too, if his [[Heel Realization]] thanks to Silvia in the [[Grand Finale]] is anything to attest to.}}
* [[Heterosexual Life Partners]]: Apollo and Baron in the [[Backstory]].
* [[Hopeless Suitor]]: Otoha, [[The Dragon]] to Touma, is [[Just for Pun|head-over-wings]] for him and her loyalty ''[[Undying Loyalty|knows no bounds]]'' for [[Single -Target Sexuality|the one man she loves]]. While he does return her affections to a certain degree, Touma has made it clear that he'll sacrifice her without a moment's hesitation should she become a liability or present an opportunity to get an advantage over the humans (as seen when the Shadow Angels attempted to retrieve a feather belonging to their civilization), a fact that Otoha herself is more than aware of. However, her knowledge of Touma's love for Apollonius seems to be variable; [[Ping -Pong Naivete|at times, she's depressed because she knows she'll never woo him away from Apollonius; at others, she's confident that Touma has abandoned such foolish feelings]]. Any half-ass excuse he makes about his feelings towards Apollonius are '''''DAMNABLE LIES'''''. 'Tis a shame; Otoha [[Evil Is Sexy|is actually quite the looker]] (perhaps excluding {{spoiler|the [[Extra Eyes|extra set of]] [[Mismatched Eyes]] she hides under her hood}}) and {{spoiler|ultimately dies fighting for him}}.
* [[Horde of Alien Locusts]]: The Mongie even to the point of {{spoiler|consuming Aquarion, although thanks to Rena it reforms from a tree}}.
* [[Hot Amazon]]: Apollo and Pierre constantly refer to Silvia as "Amazon," although it would seem to be a sarcastic running joke at times.
Line 115:
** Not to mention when anything bad happens when she's around.
* [[Jerk With a Heart of Gold]]: Despite being the possible [[Reincarnation]] of [[Leeroy Jenkins]] and having his fair share of [[Jerkass]] moments towards the other Element Users (then again, most of them ostracized him to varying degrees over the course of the series), Apollo has made it clear that his friends are the most important friends to him. In fact, {{spoiler|when Touma offers an [[Equivalent Exchange]] to sacrifice Silvia and Sirius in order to return the recently-killed Baron back to life, Apollo ''vehemently refuses''. That's right; he denied himself the return of his ''best friend'' to save his new [[True Companions]].}}
* [[Last -Minute Hookup]]: Pierre finally wins over Chloe... just in time for the Shadow Angels' last stand.
* [[Latex Perfection]]: Gen Fudou manages to pull an ''epic'' one in "cosplay of the soul," by disguising himself of someone who is half his size.
* [[Limited Wardrobe]]
Line 155:
* [[Sacrificial Lamb]]: Glen, whose entire purpose in the series boils down to 1. piloting Vector Sol to the battlefield so Apollo can [[Falling Into the Cockpit|fall into its cockpit]] and 2. getting put in a coma so Reika can have someone to angst over.
** {{spoiler|Well, that and being the first successful guinea pig for the military's super-soldier program...}}
* [[Shout -Out]]: Three jets that can transform into different configuration's of robot's depending on who's jet is leading? Sounds A LOT like ''[[Getter Robo (Manga)|Getter Robo]]'' had some influence on the mecha design.
** "Angels" buried beneath Antarctica, an [[Noodle Incident|incident]] ravaging the Earth, and Young people piloting highly-empathic mecha are all reminiscent of ''[[Neon Genesis Evangelion (Anime)|Neon Genesis Evangelion]]''.
* [[Sinister Geometry]]: Antichthon.
Line 184:
** The twin monsters Kumba and Nikumba also do this with their core.
* [[Warrior Poet]]: Sirius, whenever he's not in battle or training, spends his time picking roses in his garden and spouting poetry.
* [[Wax On, Wax Off]]: Every single training regimen Gen Fudou puts the Element Users through.
** Which also leads to some moments of [[Hilarity Ensues]] in some episodes, such as "Cosplay of the Soul"...
*** Arguably Pierre's [[Funny Moments (Sugar Wiki)|Crowning Moment of Funny]].
