Kill la Kill AU

Kill la Kill AU is a Slice of Life AU Fan Webcomic by Amoridere, revolving around Amicable Exes Ragyo and Soichiro and their three daughters Satsuki, Nui, and Ryuuko, with their secretary Rei and "stay-over kid" Mako. As said in the description, "In this particular comic, Nui kinda plays the role of the asshole sibling (we all have one), Ryuko is the baby sibling who can be rowdy and mischievous and is typically smarter than the older and middle one, and Satsuki is the older one who generally just goes with it and sometimes frustrated with her siblings and sometimes bullies them and Ragyo, as aforementioned, is the divorced mother who loves her daughters and also works."

The following tropes are common to many or all entries in the Kill la Kill AU franchise.
For tropes specific to individual installments, visit their respective work pages.

Adaptational Heroism: In this comic, Ragyo's a loving but eccentric mother, though Nui, according to Amoridere, is still an asshole.
Affectionate Nickname: Ragyo is nicknamed "Raggie" and, as seen when she was in college, "Rags"
Amicable Exes: Ragyo and Soichiro, who still love each other.
The Alcoholic: Rei the drunk secretary. This has gotten her into trouble, seeing as she sent four kids on a beer run.
Babysitter From Hell / Drinking on Duty: Rei is a terrible babysitter. Her natural idea of babysitting the kids involved sending them on a beer run when she runs out of booze. Needless to say, Ragyo and Soichiro were none to pleased, Ragyo even hitting her with a baseball bat
Baby Talk: Being two at the start of the comic, Ryuuko communicated in this.
Brainy Baby: Ryuuko, who is a little smarter than her older sisters, as well as the fact that she is the one who manages their profits from their Ponzi scheme
Berserk Button: Don't take Ryuuko's toys or else she will threaten you with an AK-47
The Cameo: Suika from the Touhou Project in XXII, where she plays a store clerk.
Cheerful Child: Mako is usually seen smiling but that changes in one comic.
Cigarette of Anxiety: More like Cigarette of Anger, in that Ragyo tends to smoke when she's angry or otherwise in a bad mood
Curiosity Killed the Cast: Comic 25 has this when Nui decides to open a door, despite the sign saying not to, and it ends terribly.
Dark Secret: What happened to Nonon's monkey
Empathy Pet: Ryuuko's pet rabbit
Flatline: A mortally injured Ragyo in this comic. It was unknown if she was Killed Off For Real, as Amoridere doesn't really know what should come after that.
Flower in Her Hair: Ragyo is usually seen with a flower in her hair
Freudian Excuse: The reason as to why an 8-year old Ryuuko is a delinquent seems to stem from maternal deprivation and her anger and upset thereof of something she feels sad about, yet doesn't know what it is, as well as the fact that no one will tell her.
Hard-Drinking Party Girl:
- Ragyo was this in college college, being known as "Reyka Ragyo", and this is how she met Soichiro.
- Rei is this and, as we can tell, she is rarely sober, which gets her in trouble, especially when she skips out on AA (the which of she was drunk enough to miss)
Heroic Sacrifice: Ragyo in The Forbidden Room.
Just a Kid: Satsuk, Nui, and Ryuuko run a Ponzi scheme and seems to have become rich from scamming people off (this is also helped in that one third of the Takarada bank account is empty because of the fact that the Takaradas entrusted it to a toddler). At the same, no one knows about it.
Limited Wardrobe: Mako, seeing as she is mostly in the same outfit, then again, so is Nui and Ryuuko. Satsuki averts this in that she wears different hairstyles and different outfits and accessories, although said outfits typically remain the same color scheme (blue and white)
Multicolored Hair: Ragyo, as true to canon, has a rainbow hair, usually. Apparently, it changes colors in accordance to her mood.
Pint-Sized Kid: Justified, due to the chibi-esque art style, in which case, the best way to tell the kids apart from the adults would be if they're smaller.
Police Are Useless: Played with. In one of the fanfics, when Ragyo suggested calling the police to find a kidnapped Ryuuko, Nui says, "What the-?! No, don't call the police, the last time we had called the police they arrested Ryuuko and not the person that stole that piss couch which is why we had to get a new one and, besides, the police are terrible at finding missing kids, 'cause they haven't found those other missing kids and there are one-hundred of them besides Ryuu in this city alone." which would make that played straight, particularly when Satsuki actually confirms this. Otherwise averted when they had thrown Ryuuko in jail for truancy in an earlier comic, showing they do enforce laws.
Slice of Life: Or pretty close to it.
Switched At Birth: Almost, in comic nine, but Ragyo recognized which baby was hers and which wasn't.
Tagalong Kid: Mako, mostly. According to Amoridere, she lives with Kiryuuins sometimes.
The Voice: Ragyo in comic 36 and one of the videos, where she is speaking from behind a door.
The Voiceless: Earlier in the series, Ryuuko was this from time to time, being two and lacking the ability to speak fluently, while Mako, in all of her webcomic appearances, never has any lines, although she did speak in the fanfics and the videos. At first most of the series was this off and on.

Tropes Specific to the Web Comics

Abusive Parents: Ragyo's mother was none too pleasant, actually, she even stated she wished she never had her and even forgets her birthday, citing it as the day where her life was ruined. Ragyo's father, however, loved her, as can be seen when he takes full custody of her after she was hit by car, something that he blames on his wife's negligence.
Alpha Bitch: Nonon's Mom, according to comic 19's description.
A Dog Ate My Homework: The 17th comic mentions that a two-year old Mako eats Nui's homework, however, it also noted that she wouldn't do so otherwise if the latter didn't spill food on it.

Tropes Specific to the Fanfics

An Aesop: In The Rain and Sunshine, we have "Running away does not solve problems but that doesn't mean you have to suffer them alone."
Bilingual Dialogue: Nui and Satsuki's argumentative exchange in Aikurou Babysits.
Catch Your Death of Cold: In Snowflakes, when an already ill Ryuuko escapes the hospital, this was brought up as a concern, however, it is mostly because the cold may already worsen her illness or that she could freeze to death.
Crack Fic: Attack of the Rats, The Time Ragyo and Ryuuko Destroyed the Town, and Breaking and Entering
Equivalent Exchange: This was elaborated upon in the fanfic adaption of Wish, as to how the titular wish worked, in that Ryuuko traded her good health for Satsuki's, which, as Rei explained, said wish would make her suffer and could probably take her life through illness, something that circumstances otherwise would do with Satsuki.
Lethal Diagnosis: Subverted, in Room 002108, in that Ryuuko was already sick but, when she is hospitalized, the doctors say she has to stay for tests. Her condition isn't mentioned as to be getting worse as a result of that and neither are her symptoms described.
Morton's Fork: Covered in Room 002108, where it is brought up that by the test result came back and Ryuuko had not shown signs of improvement before then, she would either be dead or, if her condition was cancer, the disease will have hit terminal, in both cases, it will have been too late.
Police Brutality: In a fanfic titled as such, the police throw Nui, Mako, and a sick Ryuuko in jail for no apparent reason, on top of "roughing them up".
Shown Their Work: Amoridere did mention in an author's note that she did some bit research before writing, stating that the average beats per minute for a nine-year old are usually in the range in 70-110, thus anything lower than that would be Bradycardia, as in Ryuuko's case, with her heart beating 64 bpm.
Siblings Wanted: Nui wanted another little sister and she got one, making that played straight. However, this is justifiably averted with Satsuki, having to live with Ryuuko and Nui.
The Disease That Shall Not Be Named: Ryuuko's in Room 002108, then again, she was mentioned be hospitalized for tests, in which case, this may be justified in that what she has is unknown. However, Nonon (called Nonie) tries avoid saying the taboo word which is, true to the trope, cancer but mentions that may be what Ryuuko has and as to why she was hospitalized "for tests".
Younger Than They Look: Shinseiji, who was "born" a toddler, however, she is, as her name suggests, a newborn. At the most now, she would probably be about five or six months.

Tropes Specific to the Videos

Leave the Camera Running: More often than not due to Amoridere having no animation software and having not too much experience with Windows Live Movie Maker. However, sometimes this trope is used to show the slow passage of time.
Charlie Brown Baldness: A baby Ryuuko in a more recent^[when?] video.
