Line 4:
Hard times are upon [[The Kingdom]] of Forland: the heir apparent Kaito has gone missing and the righteous king was slain by the [[Evil Chancellor]] and his [[Robot Girl]] assassins. The only remaining royal family member, defenceless and weak-willed [[Everything's Better with Princesses|princess]] Alita, flees the castle in the last moment, chased by the Chancellor's [[Faceless Goons]]. Yet luck suddenly turns in her favor when she literally [[Crash Into Hello|falls into the embrace]] of the most [[Badass]] [[Action Girl]] in recorded history: bounty hunter Falis. After an accidental near-death experience, the two [[Freaky Friday Flip|switch bodies]] and Falis agrees to assume Alita's persona, take Forland back from the usurper, and protect it until prince Kaito's return. Rounding up her henchmen, she proceeds to the castle to kick ass and earn the title of the most brutal princess in history...

* [[Action Dress Rip]]: Falis/Alita [[Rule of Cool|somehow]] cuts the hem off her dress and cuts a slit in it with two movements of her sword.
* [[Action Girl]]: Falis/Alita.
Line 19:
* [[Blond Guys Are Evil]]: {{spoiler|Kaito}}.
* [[Blood Knight]]: Falis.
* [[Blood Splattered Warrior|Blood-Splattered
* [[But for Me It Was Tuesday]]:
{{quote|
'''Cecilia''': I have no reason why. It was simply because they happened to be there. }}
* [[But Now I Must Go]]: {{spoiler|[[Subverted Trope|Surprisingly enough]], ''not'' Falis. The only opportunity to reverse the [[Freaky Friday Flip]] is used up saving the world, and in the end Falis decides to stay on, at least until another solution is found.}}
Line 38:
* [[Fantasy]]
* [[Five-Man Band]]:
** [[The Hero
** [[The Lancer]]: Jodu Entolasia, the old butler... but no, he is not a [[Battle Butler]].
** [[The Big Guy]]: Pete.
Line 44:
** [[The Chick]]: Alita/Milano.
* [[For the Evulz]]: Cecilia's stated reason for {{spoiler|killing Falis's whole village}}.
* [[Freaky Friday Flip]]
* [[Gentle Giant]]: Pete
* [[Gratuitous English]]: "Murder Princess" sounds a bit strange, though something like "Killer Princess" would've been rather cliché. The theme song is quite good, with the English lyrics making about as much sense as the Japanese.
* [[Heroic Sacrifice]]: The original Milano, Alita's handmaiden and decoy double, whose persona Alita assumes after her death.
** {{spoiler|And in the [[Grand Finale]], Dominikov, Pete, Ana, and Yuni all sacrifice themselves to save the world.}}
* [[Hey, It's That Voice!]]: You might recognize Dominokov as [[Kazuki Yao]], basically [[One Piece|Franky, Mr. 2, Jango]], and [[Fullmetal Alchemist|Yoki]].
** Or, in the English version, he's played by none other than Chuck Huber, aka: [[Yu Yu Hakusho|Hiei]], [[Dragonball Z|Android 17 and Supreme Kai]], [[Fullmetal Alchemist|Shou Tucker]] and [[Soul Eater|Stein]].
** Additionally, [[Burst Angel|Jo and Maria]] are on the same side here.
** In Japan, bounty hunter Falis [[Romi Park|is]] [[Naruto|Temari]].
** [[Robot Girl]] twins Ana and Yuna [[Chiwa Saitou|are]] [[
** Prince Kaito [[Patrick Seitz|is]] [[Bleach|Isshin Kurosaki]].
* [[Humans Are
* [[Karma Houdini]]: {{spoiler|Ana, despite being an adorable [[Robot Girl]], is initially presented as an [[Ax Crazy]] psycho who delights in slaughtering anyone and everyone, from soldiers to defenseless staff. After her creator is killed, she joins the good guys, no questions asked. Perhaps, the author remembered that machines are generally designed to be reprogrammable...}}
** Well, she does {{spoiler|die along with the other [[Lost Technology]] when the [[MacGuffin]] is destroyed.}}
Line 85:
* [[Shinigami]]: Dominikov.
* [[Sinister Scythe]]: Dominikov's.
* [[Snake People]]: The giant forest guardian.
* [[Spell My Name with an "S"]]: At least one source spelled Alita's name "Akita" until this was corrected
** Similarly Milano has been romanized as Mirano.
*** Some asian languages (presumably including Japanese) lack differentiation between the "EL" and "R" sounds. If both sound ok, then both are valid romanizations. No excuse for the "Akita" thing, though.
* [[Super Window Jump]]
* [[Talking to Himself|Talking To Herself]]: Bloodthirsty Ana and ([[Beware the Nice Ones|usually]]) sweet Yuna the [[Robot Girl
* [[Techno Babble]]: In the later episodes.
* [[The Goggles Do Nothing]]: Dominkov has goggles but he's a Skeleton guy. How does that work?
* [[Took a Level
* [[Unstoppable Rage]]: When things get ''really'' bad, Falis sometimes falls into this, and only Alita can stop her. Actually insinuated to be an artifact of ''[[Beware the Nice Ones|Alita's body]]'', since it never happened to Falis before the switch.
* [[Villain with Good Publicity]]
