{{tropelist}}
* [[All Crimes Are Equal]]: According to the warden, shoplifting is as bad as genocide, and deserves a life sentence.
* [[Alternate Self]]: Sometimes they meet here, such as [[Code Geass|Nunnally]] and her Nightmare of Nunnally counterpart.
* [[Applied Phlebotinum]]: The dimensional stabilizer.
* [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking]]: Some characters' crime lists read like this.
* [[Back From the Dead]]: [[Fullmetal Alchemist|Hughes]] and [[Code Geass|Euphie]], among others, due to the warden bringing people from different canonpoints.
* [[Big Brother Instinct]]: [[Code Geass|Lelouch]] is probably the worst about this, but most of the older siblings have it.
* [[Big Brother Worship]]: [[Air Gear (Manga)|Akito]], [[Code Geass|Rolo]], [[Fullmetal Alchemist|Fletcher]], and a few others suffer from this. [[Deconstructed Trope|Deconstructed]] in most cases, with fun results for all!
* [[Can't Have Sex Ever]]: Sex is outlawed because Acumen doesn't want the criminals reproducing. And birth control is out of the question [[Circular Reasoning|because the criminals shouldn't be having sex]].
* [[Children Are Innocent]]: Played with. Many of the inmates are minors, but children under thirteen are never arrested unless they've already committed heinous crimes.
* [[EverythingsEverything's Better Withwith Dinosaurs]]: See the raptors. Even if they are no longer "real".
* [[Fish Out of Temporal Water]]: Perhaps not directly due to taking place on another world, but a good portion of characters experience this considering the technologies available.
* [[Jaywalking Will Ruin Your Life]]: Even just one crime is enough to get you sentenced to Marina for life.
* [[Killed Off for Real]]: If you die in Marina, you die in real life. And you get a tombstone in the graveyard!
* [[Life or Limb Decision]] : Played with by [[Umineko no Naku Koro Nini|Lambdadelta]], when realizing she is restrained by an ankle chain. She ropes [[Persona|Minako]] into cutting off her foot for her, though because she's an immortal of some sort, she just sews it back on once the chain is removed.
* [[Luxury Prison Suite]]: Some of the inmates live in more fancier housing among the rest, those include [[Black Butler|Ciel's]] replica of his mansion and [[Code Geass|Lelouch's]] house.
* [[JaywalkingMajor Will Ruin Your LifeMisdemeanor]]: Even just one crime is enough to get you sentenced to Marina for life.
* [[Master Computer]]: Acumen, more or less. Sentience used to be one, but then it started caring about the inmates.
* [[Might Asas Well Not Be in Prison At All]]: Many inmates' attitudes toward Marina's environs and lax rules.
* [[Nerf]]: Character superpowers are usually nerfed.
* [[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero]]: [[Serial Experiments Lain|Lain]] when she tried to fix Sentience's programming to prevent [[All Crimes Are Equal]]. Instead, Sentience shut down and so did the life support for three days.
* [[Penal Colony]]: More or less.
* [[Roaring Rampage of Revenge]]: [[Ace Attorney|Dahlia Hawthorne]] did this ''after'' [[Fullmetal Alchemist|Russel]] killed her. [[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero|You done good, Pearl.]]
* [[Robot Maid]]: Some of the bots do menial labour like this.
* [[Sibling Yin -Yang]]: The [[Fullmetal Alchemist|Elric and Tringham brothers]] and, to an extent, the [[Code Geass|Britannian royal family]].
* [[Sliding Scale of Law Enforcement]]: Justified by the Defense Force being unable to do anything unless muns actually communicate.
* [[There Is No Higher Court]]: Subverted. Sentience's creators, and later Sentience itself, were all tried and sentenced for kidnapping the inmates.
Line 34 ⟶ 39:
* [[Underwater City]]: Marina is one.
* [[Viewer Gender Confusion]]: No one can decide on the correct pronoun for Sentience or Acumen.
* [[Working Onon the Chain Gang]]: New inmates whose crimes involve some form of murder are often chained to iron balls for the first few days of their imprisonment and shepherded around doing menial labor. A minor example, since this menial labor involves gardening and doing laundry.
