Murder Princess: Difference between revisions

Line 49:

* [[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]].

* [[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.

Line 71:

* [[Named Weapons]]: Falis' Princess of Cranes, likely also an [[Ancestral Weapon]].

* [[Nietzsche Wannabe]]: Kaito, full stop.

* [[Non Indicative First Episode]]: The first episode of the OVA is noticeably darker than the rest of the series, with a few genuinely disturbing moments. For a second, one might wonder if putting Falis on the throne is actually ''worse'' than letting the usurpers have it. By the second episode, her character is affirmed to be unambiguously good and the general tone of the show lightens up to resemble most fantasy anime.

* [[Of Corset Hurts]]: Falis/Alita is not happy about having to wear a corset.

* [[Parental Substitute]]: Jodou to the original Milano and arguably the replacement Milano.

* [[Pimped-Out Dress]]

* [[The Quiet One]]: Doctor Akamashi. He speaks precisely two lines aloud...{{spoiler|and doesn't get to finish the second one}}.

* [[Red Eyes Take Warning]]: Alita, though it's her actual physical ''body'' that has them, and they only really fit this trope after the [[Freaky Friday Flip]] incident swaps her with Falis

* [[Red Eyes, Take Warning]]: Alita, though it's her actual physical ''body'' that has them, and they only really fit this trope after the [[Freaky Friday Flip]] incident swaps her with Falis

** Played dead straight with the Black Knight, although he only has one glowing red eye. The other is invisible under his helmet.

* [[Reverse Grip]]: Alita/Falis does this. A lot.

Line 82:

* [[Romantic Two-Girl Friendship]]

* [[Royals Who Actually Do Something]]: Although Falis isn't technically royal, no one knows that, and she earns the name [[Title Drop|Murder Princess]] after personally slaying a giant monster sent to kill her.

* [[Schizo Tech]]: Teoria.

* [[Schizo-Tech]]: Teoria.

* [[Shinigami]]: Dominikov.

* [[Sinister Scythe]]: Dominikov's.

Line 96:

* [[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]]

* [[Wham Episode]]: Episode 4.

* [[Wham! Episode]]: Episode 4.

* [[What Measure Is a Mook?]]: Averted once {{spoiler|Kaito}} turns the Forland army against Falis and Alita. The heroes realize that the guards are only serving their country, and go out of their way not to kill them. On the other hand...

* [[What Measure Is a Non-Human?]]: The above does not apply to Doctor Akamashi's monsters. Possibly justified, in that they appear to be [[Mecha-Mooks]]. Although being robots doesn't stop Ana and Yuni from [[What Measure Is a Non-Cute?|being treated as human beings]]...
