Line 25 ⟶ 27:
* [[Applied Phlebotinum]]: Explanation for the transformation, though justified because there ''is'' a scientific explanation for it. (May be [[Techno Babble]].) But, Leo probably explains it best: "[[A Wizard Did It|Magic]]".
* [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking]]: The three rules of Panthera: 1) Never reveal your secret identity to anyone, 2) Obey the team leader in all team-related matters, 3) Anyone who makes a cat-related pun [[The Swear Jar|puts $5 in that jar]].
{{quote| '''Pardus''': ''So'' unfair. These Nazis ''double'' the fine if I call it "the kitty".}}
* [[Awesome but Impractical]]: {{spoiler|Gyeoknoho, the North Korean [[Humongous Mecha]]}}. [http://www.pantheracomic.com/?p=1641 Leo] [[Lampshade Hanging|lampshades]] this. Aside from that, someone in the forums mentions that {{spoiler|[[More Dakka|having guns for claws]]}} is a really stupid move, since they break really easily.
* [[Battle Couple]]: Jason/Leo and Kira/Tigris.
Line 34 ⟶ 36:
* [[Broken Pedestal]]: [http://www.pantheracomic.com/?p=1269 Tigris explains].
* [[Calling Your Attacks]]: [http://www.pantheracomic.com/?p=1680 Chapter 6, page 21]. [[Genre Savvy|Pardus]] [[Lampshade Hanging|lampshades]] it.
{{quote| '''Pardus:''' Air! Air!! ...aw, when did we stop doing the scream-your-element-while-attacking thing?}}
* [[Car Fu]]: [http://www.pantheracomic.com/?p=1389 Leo and Pardus team up for it]. {{spoiler|Oosterhuis proceeds to break the car in half and send it flying back.}}
* [[Carnivore Confusion]]: Onca's human side shows through [http://www.pantheracomic.com/?p=1620 here].
Line 46 ⟶ 48:
* [[Elemental Powers]]: Duh?
** [[Dishing Out Dirt]]: Leo.
** [[Playing Withwith Fire]]: Tigris.
** [[Blow You Away]]: Pardus.
** [[Making a Splash]]: Onca.
Line 84 ⟶ 86:
* [[Nice Hat]]: [http://www.pantheracomic.com/?p=1627 Oh Pardus]
* [[No One Could Survive That]]: {{spoiler|Leo in the collapsing Ovid-building.}}
* [[Useful Notes/North Korea|North Korea]] and pretty much all the tropes that go with it.
* [[Oh Crap]]: All of Panthera when {{spoiler|1=[http://www.pantheracomic.com/?p=1274 Ari goes] [[One-Winged Angel]] on them.}}
** Usually coupled with [[Wide Eyes and Shrunken Irises]] in this series.
** Chin-Hwa gets a moment one [http://www.pantheracomic.com/?p=1614 here].
** [http://www.pantheracomic.com/?p=1761 Fletcher] can't catch a break when Jason goes big brother over Taylor...
* [[Panthera Awesome]]: [[Exactly What It Says Onon the Tin]]
* [[Plot Tailored to Thethe Party]]: The second story arc takes place in North Korea, where Kira's family comes from.
* [[Poor Communication Kills]]: Somewhat, as Onca tries to communicate to Tigris that {{spoiler|they've been fighting for the wrong side}} even though she's horrible at using Growl, though subverted as Tigris ''does'' get the gist of it anyway. Thus starts the epic battle.
** Though as bad as she is at Growl, Onca somehow nonetheless manages to express new words like "Hobbes" or even "Euphrates"(!) in it.
Line 99 ⟶ 101:
* [[The Reveal]]: {{spoiler|Ari/Oosterhuis}} going [[One-Winged Angel]] and demonstrating [[A God Am I|his powers]].
* [[Right Behind Me]]: Done perfectly [http://www.pantheracomic.com/?p=1629 here].
{{quote| '''Pardus''': That's the "Right Behind You" look isn't it? Man I hate that look. }}
* [[Say My Name]]: Done for drama [http://www.pantheracomic.com/?p=1779 here].
{{quote| '''Leo''': {{spoiler|Cats don't need licenses, to hunt, fight, kill. But they never have to worry about '''why''' they do it, or the '''greater consequences''', either. And we...}} Tigris, what's my name?<br />
'''Tigris''': I... don't follow.<br />
'''Leo''': My '''name'''. What's my name?<br />
'''Tigris''': Uh. "Leo?"<br />
'''Leo''': {{spoiler|...no. "Leo" is the lion mask I wear into battle. And yes, the mask is deeply a part of me. But my mind -- my soul -- is '''''human'''''. My name is '''''Jason''''', and it's '''''me''''' who has to live with the things I do.}} }}
* [[School Newspaper Newshound]]: Chloe Lachapelle, as seen [http://www.pantheracomic.com/?p=1700 here]. She goes as far as to try to plant a bug at the team's usual table. She later quits the school newspaper, though, {{spoiler| and it's heavily implied it's because she's Oosterhuis' new lackey and exposing the "Outing Club" would expose her own secret}}.
Line 111 ⟶ 113:
* [["Shut Up" Kiss]]: Done by Kira to Jason [http://www.pantheracomic.com/?p=1803 here]. Subverted when Jason gently pushes her away.
* [[Sink or Swim Mentor]]: Tigris to Onca, in a way. A bit heavy on the "Sink Or Swim", less so on "Mentor".
* [[Stealth Pun]]: One very early on that relies on knowledge of the later chapters: {{spoiler|one of Taylor's friends jokingly suggests she hug a leper, and while they've yet to actually embrace, she becomes something of a romantic interest to the leopard on the team.}} It's unknown whether or not this was intentional, but [[There Is No Such Thing Asas Notability|it's there]].
* [[Super Window Jump]]: [http://www.pantheracomic.com/?p=1353 Here].
** Also used in [http://www.pantheracomic.com/?p=1914 8.06], complete with [[Dramatic Shattering]].
Line 119 ⟶ 121:
* [[There Is No Kill Like Overkill]]: {{spoiler|Gyeoknoho again. Lessee: [[I Love Nuclear Power|nuclear-powered]], [[Humongous Mecha]], [[Panthera Awesome|tiger-shaped]], [[More Dakka|guns for claws]] and it [[Breath Weapon|breathes]] [[Fire-Breathing Weapon|fire]]. Partially justified, since North Korea is too busy showing off to bother about practicality, as shown when it takes only one blast of fire from Tigris to blow it up.}}
** From a more recent chapter:
{{quote| '''Jason:''' If you do '''''ANYTHING''''' to her, in '''any way, shape or form''', I will quite litterally '''#%$&!$# EAT YOU'''. And you have '''NO''' idea just how '''DEEP''' I could '''BURY''' what'd be left of your sorry '''carcass'''. '''UNDERSTOOD?'''}}
* [[Tomboy and Girly Girl]]: Kira and Taylor.
* [[Took a Level In Badass]]:
