Line 16:
=== Tropes in ''Saitama Chainsaw Shoujo'' include: ===
* [[Americans Are Cowboys]]: Fumio's grandfather was a Texan bounty-hunter who wears a cowboy hat and frilled buckskin vest.
* {{spoiler|[[And the Adventure Continues...]]}}
* [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking]]: The [[Class Representative]] decides to confront the girl waving around a bloodied chainsaw... [[Comically Missing the Point|and make her take her shoes off]]. After all, the regulations [[Aint No Rule|say nothing about carving people to ribbons with a chainsaw]].
Line 30:
* [[Axes At School|Chainsaws At School]]: And Fumio uses it on ''everybody''.
* [[Cloudcuckoolander]]: Kaoruko Odagiri, who believes that she and Fumio are reincarnated warriors from a past life, that she can hear radio waves, and that the new transfer student is {{spoiler|[[The Cuckoolander Was Right|an alien who has come to Earth to abduct Takumi]]}}, among other things.
* [[Crazy Prepared|Ax Crazy Prepared]]: For someone who's going on a [[Roaring Rampage of Revenge|chainsaw rampage]], Fumio actually prepares it extremely well to not leave Takumi any way to escape her (by jamming the locks on doors leading to alternate escape routes), and have enough time before the police busts in (By [[Can You Hear Me Now?|disabling the local cell towers]] and [[Cut Phone Lines|cutting the land line]] so that nobody can call for help). Actually, even using a chainsaw is probably only a very pragmatic way to do it for her, since she is quite proficient in '''American Chainsaw-fu''', and able to kill ''very'' efficiently with it.
* [[Cut Short]]: The story is intentionally left open-ended. Whether that's a [[Writer Cop Out|cop out]] or a great setup for a sequel is debatable.
* [[Dead Baby Comedy]]
Line 52:
* [[Meganekko]]: Subverted by Fumio.
* {{spoiler|[[Mirror Match]]}}: {{spoiler|The transfer student reveals the true extent of her supernatural power by changing into an exact physical duplicate of Fumio, forcing the protagonist to fight herself. Which of course means a ''[[Crowning Moment of Awesome|chainsaw duel]]''}}.
* [[No Name Given]]: The [[New Transfer Student]]'s introduction gets cut off and we never learn her name.
* [[Otaku]]: When Fumio is not reading [[Manga]] during class, she's working the story lines into conversations with her boyfriend.
* [[Pettanko]] / [[A-Cup Angst]]: Fumio is keenly aware that her western DNA has failed her in this regard.
* [[Phenotype Stereotype]]: Fumio's grandfather, who looks and dresses like [[Expy|John Wayne]].
* [[Poor Communication Kills]]: Еspecially when you're trying to "communicate" your feelings ''via a friggin' chainsaw''. Fumio actually invokes this trope. Since everyone is ignoring her, and she's not that good at communicating to start with, the only way she can appropriately convey her point is to get her chainsaw out and let it do the talking<ref>But chainsaws are the great communicator! She must not be doing it right.</ref>.
