Line 31:
* [[Bad Boss]]: Other than the usual [[You Have Failed Me]], Gargoyle will shoot his own [[Mook]] to convince Nadia that he would shoot Marie.
** On one occasion, however, he casually tells a mook who slipped up not to worry about punishment.
* [[Bamboo Technology]]: Armed with a bit of salvage, Jean builds a camp worthy of the Professor from ''[[
* [[Barbie Doll Anatomy]]
* [[Batman Gambit]]: Gargoyle lures Nemo into a trap using himself as bait. He knows Nemo will do anything to follow him and so leads [[The Captain]] to a cavern which he blocks off with mines
Line 42:
* [[Big Damn Heroes]]: Often with the Nautilus, pulling the gang to safety in the nick of time. Subverted later, where help arrives just a minute too late {{spoiler|in Tartessos}}.
* [[Blind Without'Em]]: Jean, with the obligatory [[Dropped Glasses]] scene. To the point that without the glasses, his eyes are drawn much smaller than the usual "anime" size.
* [[Blue
* [[Blush Sticker]]: Jean
* [[Bow Ties Are Cool]]: Hanson and Sanson wear one as part of their uniforms.
Line 64:
* [[Cross-Popping Veins]]
* [[Dead Person Conversation]]
* [[Death
* [[Defrosting Ice Queen]]: Nadia is gradually transformed from a cold, aloof, temperamental pessimist to a caring, trusting young woman as a result of her relationship with Jean.
* [[The Determinator]]: Played partly for laughs with Grandis at the beginning. But applied dead seriously in the final episode, where {{spoiler|Emperor Neo manages to make his unpowered robotic body move by sheer force of will to save Nadia.}}
Line 76:
** Electra does the same when she finally learns that Nemo actually ''does'' care about her, and tries to shoot herself. Nemo talks her out of such behavior.
* [[Dropped Glasses]]: Minor subversion: the glasses are repaired almost immediately to demonstrate the technological capabilities of the Nautilus.
* [[Everything's Better
* [[Evil Chancellor]]: [[Big Bad|Gargoyle]] used to be this, before pulling off a (mostly) successful coup and moving on to better things.
* [[Evil Counterpart]]: Nemo and [[Big Bad|Gargoyle]] are always going on about their vague but important past.
Line 132:
* [[Macross Missile Massacre]]: The primary form of Sub-to-Sub combat.
* [[Magic From Technology]]
* [[Market-Based Title]]: The Japanese title, ''Fushigi no Umi no Nadia'' ("''Nadia of the Mysterious Seas''"), was basically used by Gainax to forestall [[Executive Meddling]], by ensuring their title followed the same pattern as ''[[Nausicaa of the Valley of
* [[Man of Wealth and Taste]]: Garygoyle's suite is immaculate red and worthy for the dinner party he invites sponsors too. The only flaw is his mask and KKK style hat.
* [[Meaningful Name]]:
Line 157:
* [[Narrator All Along]]: As above.
* [[Non-Human Sidekick]]: King
* [[Not Good
* [[Not So Different]]: When Jean and Hanson stop fighting over the blue water, they realize they're more mecha geeks and simultaneously [[Squee]] over the Nautilus.
* [[Number Two]]: Electra
Line 177:
* [[Public Domain Artifact]]: Just about everything in Jules Verne's closet that wasn't nailed down. Plus the "Blue Water" from ''[[Beau Geste]]'' of all places.
* [[Puppet King]]: Emperor Neo. {{spoiler|quite litteraly}}
* [[Putting
** This is made especially explicit in [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V4tjjXxC7-w their Omake Theater feature].
* [[Relationship Upgrade]]: All the couples in the series who successfully end up together.
Line 188:
* [[Self-Destruct Mechanism]]: Jean install one on the cockpit of the plane it build, Nadia touches it {{spoiler|resulting in her and Marie's death. Though it was [[All Just a Dream|just a dream.]]}}
* [[Shadow Archetype]]
* [[Shout-Out]]: To ''[[
** And, of course, multiple shout outs to Jules Verne's works that weren't directly used in the plot.
** The shout-outs in ''Secret of Blue Water'' are innumerable. You think you have found all of them but there's still more. There's an allusion to something outside of the story, often in [[Real Life]], like every five minutes. That's among the things that make the series great. It latches onto everything.
