Line 51:
* [[Cut Lex Luthor a Check]]: Lampshaded in one of the interludes, where the [[Mad Scientist]]'s assistant talks about reading a six-year-old report about the "protective fluid" used in the flamethrower troopers' suits, and mentions the wonderful possibilities for treating burn victims. Said scientist replies, "Throw it away, I don't need it any more."
* [[Death Glare]]: Randel has an... [http://www.mangafox.com/manga/pumpkin_scissors/v04/c012/39.html interesting] version of this whenever he's berserker mode.
* [[Deep -Cover Agent]] : one of the tasks of the 2nd section.
* [[Determinator]]: Alice, whenever her idealism is challenged. Randel when he turns on his lantern.
* [[Dogged Nice Guy]]: Lord Schulz.
Line 71:
** [[The Big Guy]] - Randel (Oreldo even calls him "Big Guy" in the subtitles)
** [[The Chick]] - Stecchin
* [[Four Eyes, Zero Soul]] - Muse. Subverted with Abel, who despite being an accountant for [[The Mafia]] cares about his friends from the gang he grew up in.
* [[Freeze Frame Bonus]] When Oland reloads in Season 1 Episode 7, the [[Door Knocker]]'s bullets seem to have garbled letters that read like "[[Door Knocker]]" imprinted on them. "B M (blocked by thumb) OP KNOCKTR" Which makes sense because there is little chance that any other handgun would take that caliber.
* [[Gag Penis]]: Used in a running gag with a nurse trying to get a urine sample from Randel whenever he's hospitalized.
Line 97:
'''Martis:''' Lieutenant, I just finished telling you that they have a ''tank''!<br />
'''Alice:''' They're nothing but a bunch of anarchists! Destroy the evil-doers! }}
* [[Hot -Blooded]]: Alice in an non-Super Robot, female example.
* [[Huge Guy, Tiny Girl]]: Alice is of average height, and shorter than most of her subordinates. Randel, who already towers over the entire cast, makes her look like a child.
** Frankly, he fulfills the 'Huge Guy' role for ''anyone''. He's tall enough that he has to ''Duck'' in order to get through most door frames.
Line 108:
** She's at least 18 in the earlier chapters, and probably a bit older in the more recent ones, assuming the story happens over the period of several months.
* [[Improbable Weapon User]]: Randel uses a pair of giant scissors that are capable of ''cutting through a tank's armour''. Possible reference to meaning of the series title?
** In case you're thinking they're actual scissors, they're more like glorified [http://en.[wikipedia.org/wiki/Bolt_cutter:Bolt cutter|bolt-cutters]] with pointed jaws. You'd have to be suicidally brave to attack a tank with them - which is what the lantern does. As a weapon they're impractical {{spoiler|- a flashback shows a tank covered with 901 troops ''slowly'' gnawing away at its armour with their 'can-openers'.}} Presumably, they use them to open a hole they can shoot through... and human wave tactics to ensure there's enough left to shoot.
** Actually, they may have been a fallback weapon, sort of like a bayonet or combat knife for normal soldiers.
** Their actual utility may be a lot more mundane. They are basically giant scissors, after all.
Line 119:
* [[Made of Iron]]: Randel, when his lantern is on.
** Even without. Most people can't hurt him without some kind of weapon (A big one; for example a ''sledgehammer''). Understandable, as he's apparently ''95% scar tissue''. Highlighted in episode 4; he wakes up with a cat on his face and sits up. The cat hangs from his cheeks, then ''drags its claws down the side of his face'' when it slides off. He doesn't even flinch.
* [[Mad Scientist]]: Muse, who also overlaps with [[Four Eyes, Zero Soul]].
* [[Malaproper]]: Lili pulls this off at one point while accosting Oreldo.
