Describe Kill La Kill here.
Tropes used in Kill la Kill include:
- Absurdly Powerful Student Council
- Acquired Situational Narcissism: In Episode 7, Ryuko develops a scheme to raise Mako's family into the upper echelons of society. Literally the second they move into a mansion, the family gets caught up in the life of luxury, and they all grow distant from each other. Satsuki, of course, is counting on this very trope, which is why she let Ryuko go through with her scheme in the first place. And unlike most examples of this trope, which fail to justify the need to remove riches before human decency returns, here, it's outright stated that living in luxury is a form of slavery, removing people's will to fight against classism and injustice. Siddhartha Gautama would be proud (well, provided he could look past the fact that this lesson is being taught in such a Fanservice-y anime).
- Action Girl: Ryuko
- A Nazi By Any Other Name
- All Men Are Perverts: Especially the ones in Mako's family.
- Back-Alley Doctor: Dr. Barazo, Mako's father. Don't worry, he's killed more people than he's saved.
- Blood Knight: Ryuko, quite literally. Her superpowered clothing is even powered by blood!
- Chivalrous Pervert: Senketsu, Ryuko's clothing. Even though it's uncomfortably intimate with Ryuko, and withholds its full power unless she fights half-naked, it's also fiercely protective, and would rather sacrifice itself than let her come to harm. It's actually quite heartwarming, in a weird way.
- Deceased Dad: Isshin Matoi, Ryuko's father. The plot kicks off with her wanting to avenge his death.
- Genki Girl: Mako
- Green Thumbs: The entirety of the Gardening club.
- Heroes Prefer Giant Scissor Blades
- Hot-Blooded: Everyone in the series, one way or another.
- Impossibly Cool Clothes: Senketsu.
- Improbable Weapon User: Ryuko fights with one-half of a pair of giant scissors.
- Mad Scientists: The entirety of the Biology club.
- Ms. Fanservice: Ryuko
- Panty Fighter: A send-up of the genre.
- Sensible Heroes, Skimpy Villains: Zig-zagged. At first, Ryuko's outfit is much more risque than what the villains wear (though no more ridiculous). Then Satsuki dons her own superpowered outfit, which is even skimpier than Ryuko's.
- Slapstick Knows No Gender
- Stripperiffic: Ryuko, when she wears Senketsu.
- Walking Shirtless Scene: Ryuko's homeroom teacher, Aikurō Mikisugi, when he's not in disguise.
- Widget Series
- Would Hit a Girl: Fukuroda, from the first episode. He gives Ryuko a No-Holds-Barred Beatdown, and attempts to publicly execute Mako.
