Line 21:
* [[Breaking the Fourth Wall]]: Upon hearing a bear has escaped from the zoo and may be lurking nearby:
{{quote|'''Sonya''': Ah!! I just had a really bad feeling! Some idiot just activated some really [[Event Flag|bad flags]]!}}
* [[Butt Monkey]]: Poor Yasuna gets this treatment from Sonya.
* [[Catgirl]]: The second Yasuna puppet in episode 5.
* [[Cloudcuckoolander]]: Yasuna (see above). Agiri, oh is she ever.
Line 37:
* [[Festival Episode]]: Chapter 24.
* [[Fiery Redhead]]: The unused character, [[Multicolored Hair|partially]].
** [[Green Eyed Red Head]] Unused Character.
* [[Girlish Pigtails]]: Sonya. They indicate that while she is an assassin, she is still a child and has a soft side such as her fear for cockroaches, ghosts and dogs which are fears mostly related to kids.
* [[Gratuitous English]]: ''Kill Me Baby'' and ''Baby, please kill me'', of course. The anime has many other instances too.
* [[Gratuitous Foreign Language]]: Yasuna, in the anime, particularly in the opening scene as a form of [[Couch Gag]].
Line 64:
** [[Fridge Brilliance]]: Go look at the entry for [[Ninja]], note comparisons with [[Highly-Visible Ninja]]. Not knowing whether it's magic or sleight-of-hand IS Ninjutsu!
* [[Minimalist Cast]]: Sonya, Yasuna, Agiri and the Unused Character make for a very small cast that never expands. Even the latter two don't appear that much.
** In the anime, any walk-on roles are played by the same old man and woman, and even those are few in number. Two other schoolgirls have been shown onscreen but their appearances are very brief. It probably indicates that Yasuna doesn't have many friends besides Sonya.
* [[Mood Whiplash]]: The last third of the [[Season Finale]] - {{spoiler|What starts out as a regular gag sketch of Yasuna trying to disrupt one of Sonya's assassination assignments ends with her [[It Makes Sense in Context|stuck in a pit]] [[Tear Jerker|tearfully begging Sonya not to leave, because she's terrified for the safety of]] [[I Just Want to Have Friends|one of her only friends.]][[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming|Cue Sonya helping her out of the pit and claiming her mission was cancelled due to a "change of plans".]]}}
* [[Mundane Utility]]: Sonya's killer reflexes are great for opening bottles.
* [[New Year Has Come]]: Yasuna, Sonya and Agiri use the first school day after New Year to hold a combined New Year, Christmas and Halloween Party.
* [[Ninja]]: Agiri Goshiki, the only other named character so far in the story.
* [[No Name Given]]: The "unused character". Also known as Botsu Kyara.
* [["On the Next Episode of..." Catchphrase]]: "Now what will you do, Yasuna Oribe?"
* [[Phenotype Stereotype]]: Sonya has blonde hair and blue eyes, signaling that she's from... wherever she's from.
* [[Rapunzel Hair]]: Agiri. Sonya also has very long hair and so does the unused character. Yasuna is the only one with short hair.
* [[Shout-Out]]:
** Is that [[Puella Magi Madoka Magica|Kyubey]] in Episode 1 of the anime?
Line 79:
* [[Slapstick Knows No Gender]]: The premise of the show is slapstick, and poor Yasuna tends to be the one who receives it.
* [[Talking Is a Free Action]]: Agiri averts this in chapter 12, much to her target's distress.
* [[Tareme Eyes]]: [[Ordinary High School Student|Yasuna]]. It shows her innocence and kindness.
* [[Tempting Fate]]: Yasuna is constantly doing this.
* [[Teru Teru Bozu]]: Yasuna attempts to end a typhoon by stringing a chain of these together. The wind snaps it off the line and the old man mistakes it for a dragon god flying in the sky.
Line 87:
** [[Lampshade Hanging|Lampshaded]] by Yasuna in vol. 1 (anime episode 4).
** It also counts as [[Breaking the Fourth Wall]].
* [[Tsurime Eyes]]: Sonya again. It indicates her violent nature.
* [[Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?]]: Despite being a supposed hardcore assassin, Sonya seems to be afraid of some things, like roaches, stray dogs (she's not good with animals in general) and ghosts.
* [[With Friends Like These...]]
