Line 10:
''Linebarrels'' looks to play the charmingly cliched [[Mecha Show]] straight to the hilt. In the opening chapters a [[Hot-Blooded]] [[The Hero|emotionally underdeveloped brat]] finds himself piloting a giant robot into all kinds of shiny looking awesome while shouting trite one-liners about being an ''Ally Of Justice'' and [[Hilarity Ensues]]. Then you start to notice the veneer is chipping away. Shimizu and Shimoguchi make it painfully clear how much of a prick the protagonist really is and just how hollow those words about justice ring in his mouth. Then, this is the kicker, [[Character Development|they make him mean every damn word.]]

{{tropelist}}
* [[Abuse Is Okay When Its Female On Male]]: Poor Kouichi at times, especially if it's because of a prank being played by Ishigami.▼
* [[A-Cup Angst]]: Rachel in episode 25, after she gets teased a little about not having a big bust.
* [[A Day in the Limelight]]: Rachel gets an entire OVA devoted to her; part one deals with how she arrived in Japan for the first time, while part two acts as a semi-[[Interquel]] set between episodes 12 and 13 of the anime.

* [[Death Is Cheap]]: {{spoiler|Played straight with everyone except Katou. Subverted with Ishigami, who comes back as an AI, then he sacrifices himself with Katou.}}
* [[Dojikko]]: Emi, for the first few episodes of the anime.

* [[Dual Wield]]: Linebarrel manages with twin [[BFS]]. Verdant one ups this with the quad wield. Tsubaki-Hime ties with verdant by dual wielding ''[[Chainsaw Good|Chainsaws]]''
* [[Dude Looks Like a Lady]]: Izuna Endo, twin brother of Shizuna. Kouichi seems to [[Baka and Test|summon Yoshi Akihisa]] when he jokingly says that Shizuna should act more girlish, then faces Izuna Endo, which ticks her off.
