Line 11:
* [[Betty and Veronica]]: Angela and her aunt Mizue, though only personality-wise, since they are hardly rivals in love.
* [[Big Eater]]: Kousaku to a freakin' T.
* [[Expy]]:
* [[Cannot Spit It Out]]:
* [[Completely Missing the Point]]: Kousaku, some of the boxers, ''and'' fans of this series don't seem to understand that since Sister Angela is a ''nun'', she cannot have relationships with men unless she chooses to leave the convent. Some of the fans who think the choice is so [[Sarcasm Mode|"easy"]] don't understand how difficult it is to decide between your feelings for someone and your love and dedication to God.▼
** Especially considering that she's also a [[Japanese Christian]], with all the [[Values Dissonance]] coming from being a Catholic in a country that's mostly Buddhist and Shinto.▼
** Especially apparent in the J-Drama, Sister Angela doesn't seem to be well liked amongst the fans.▼
* [[Defector From Decadence]]: Sister Angela actually comes from a quite wealthy family. Although the only one who has a problem with Angela's decision is her aunt Mizue, who doesn't really understand Angela's decision to give up so much extravagance and go without men.
* [[Distaff Counterpart]]: The Mother Abbess could be seen as the counterpart to Coach Mukoda, as she is responsible for Angela keeping true to her decision to be a nun, as Mukoda is responsible for Kosaku's boxing career.

* [[Hollywood Pudgy]]: A staple. Kosaku is referred to as a fat pig most of the time because he can't manage to keep his weight stable despite looking quite athletic and muscular. Another such example involves a rival boxer named Matsuzaka who's been struggling to keep his weight up to Kosaku's level in order to fight him again. During the match, Matsuzaka does look slightly pudgy, yet everyone refers to him as "a whale".
* [[Incredibly Lame Pun]]: In Japanese, "Priest" and "Boxer" sound alike. "Bokushi" (牧師), is the first three syllables in the Japanese pronunciation of the word "boxing" (ボクシング/bokushingu). Thus the ''entire premise of the series'' being a <s>Priest</s> Boxer and a Nun together.
Line 24:
* [[Names to Know in Anime]]: The OAV give us [[Tohru Furuya]] as Kousaku and [[Hiromi Tsuru]] as Sister Angela.
* [[Not So Harmless]]: Ryusei Kurenai, the head host of Club Ring, who turns out to be the Oriental and Pacific Boxing Federation Champion.
* [[Nuns Are Funny]]{{context}}
* [[The Rival]]:
* [[Uncancelled]]: The manga ended open
