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...

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 45:
* [[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.
Line 55:
** [[Robot Girl]] twins Ana and Yuna [[Chiwa Saitou|are]] [[Blaz Blue|Taokaka]].
** 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 90:
*** 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?
