This series provides examples of:
* [[Absurdly Powerful Student Council]] - This is a council with its own ''assault'', ''covert'' and ''vehicles'' divisions!.
* [[Anime First]]
* [[The Atoner]] - {{spoiler|Seina, who takes the mantle of head of the V OrginationOrganization to make up for her feelings of guilt for feeling glad that Kanade and not her had the Junguuji power.}}.
* [[Beware the Nice Ones]] - President Kanade is most of the time, calm, collected, and modest... until you [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JHZVFXNHrFo call her a snobbish and arrogant woman].
* [[Big Fancy House]] - The Jinguuji compound, natch. Also, the student council dorms are more fancy apartment than dormatory.
* [[Big Fancy House]]
* [[Black Helicopter]] - Used by Covert Ops in the [[Cooking Duel]].
* [[Blank White Eyes]]
Line 26:
* [[Color Failure]] - Happens to Kaori in the first episode, when she loses the election to Rino. Later happens to Rino when Pucchan is taken away from her, Ayumu even comments on this..
* [[Continuity Nod]] - Every character who appeared in a single episode shows up again in episode 25.
* [[Cooking Duel]] - A curry cooking duel, for which the loser would have [[Broke Episode|their budget cut]]. Rino decides that Covert Ops' and Assault Squad's curry taste better when mixed together
* [[Cooking Duel]]
* [[Curtains Match the Window]] - Most of the main characters. Cyndi is one notable exception, to help emphasiseemphasize her half-foreign ancestoryancestry.
* [[Door Step Baby]] - Which prompts the girls to go out searching for the baby's mother AND Rein's father..
* [[Eloquent in My Native Tongue]] - Inverted with Cyndi. Throughout the series she speaks halting, two-or-three word Engrish sentences, with the penultimate episode revealing she actually has fluent Japanese, but her mother, who ''isn't'' eloquent, convinced her it was incorrect..<ref> The dub couldn't reference this up until this point - everyone speaks in English and her speaking pattern is never referenced in the script. , making her character inexplicably awkward.</ref>
* [[Evolving Credits]] - The faces of the two members of Covert are revealed in the episodes after they are introduced.
** In addition, the pre-credit intro evolves as well, adding members to the Student Council line-up after they join the council, Rino is added for episode 2, or as the Covert members are revealed.
* [[Expy]] - The [[Christmas Cake]] teacher and [[Bottle Fairy]] school nurse certainly seem similar to [[Azumanga Daioh|two other teachers we might be familiar with]]. This is really apparantapparent by their interactions during their [[Character Focus]] episode.

* [[I Want My Beloved to Be Happy]] - The reason why Kaori doesn't take action against Rino.
* [[Japanese Honorifics]]: The student council talks to each other almost exclusively in ''yobisute'', no honorifics. This is probably meant to evoke a [[Nakama]]. While Kanade, Kuon, and Nanaho are usually named by their office, they refer to each other by first name only.
