For shows in similar genres, see ''[[Variable Geo]]'', ''[[Koihime Musou]]'' and ''[[Ikki Tousen]]''.

'''NOTE''': Only general tropes for the series as a whole should go here. For character-specific ones, check out the [[Queen's Blade/Characters|characters sheet]].
Line 31:
* [[Asskicking Equals Authority]]: The purpose of the Queen's Blade tournament.
* [[Battle Royale With Cheese]]: Despite the outright brutality of the tournament (and the fact that rules allows to kill the opponent without any guilt) {{spoiler|''None'' of the main characters dies, and the ones who everyone thought that died in the tournament, like Cattleya and Airi, came back later thanks to [[Deus Ex Machina]] plots.}} The biggest example is {{spoiler|Claudette, since Risty almost destroyed the Vance castle by herself and Claudette almost gets killed when she protected her stepfather from being crushed by the castle's ceiling and even the following scenes shows her in very bad shape, only for getting better and ''without any single serious injury'' later on.}} The only named character being killed for real was {{spoiler|Shizuka}} and she didn't participated in the tournament ''in first place.''
** This is even worse in ''Queen's Gate Spiral Chaos'': {{spoiler|not only both Ramshel and Sushel, the final bosses from the last game, [[Back
* [[Beauty Is Never Tarnished]]: The girls get beaten up, and even get repeatedly slashed on their breasts, but there are never scars.
* [[Between My Legs]]: This shot is used very often, usually for fanservice.
Line 114:
* [[Positive Discrimination]]: Though women in the series can be both good and evil, all of the evil ones get at least something approaching a [[Pet the Dog]] moment or a [[Morality Pet]]. Not only are men usually faceless outlines or [[Men Are the Expendable Gender|crow-fodder]], they're all evil or [[All Men Are Perverts|lecherous]] [[Jerkass|assholes]].
* [[Rage Against the Heavens]]: Aldra. Well, against Heavens and Hells, really.
* [[Ragtag Bunch of Misfits]]: While this is normally averted in the TV series for obvious reasons (except during the final battles from both seasons), it's played straight in the ''Spiral Chaos'' games: Including the TV series along, we have five princesses (Leina, her sisters, Ymir and Cute, each one with different personality quirks), a thief (Risty), an angel (Nanael), a sword-wealding miko (Tomoe), an half-elf (Nowa) and her instructor, a normal Elf (Alleyne), a Mercenary Elf (Echidna), a big-breasted Monster hunter (Cattleya) and her son (Rana), an assassin (Irma), a dimensional-traveling gunslinger (Alice), a Magical Cook (Maron), a queen (Aldra), a nun (Melpha), a street-fighting [[Ojou]] ([[Tekken|Lili]]), three ninjas (Shizuka, [[Fatal Fury|Mai Shiranui]] and [[Ichiban Ushiro no Dai Maou|Junko Hattori]], make it ''four'' later with the inclusion of [[Soul Series|Taki]], or ''five'' if we also include [[Dead or Alive|Kasumi]]), a [[Magical Girl]] (Ink), a nurse (Kotone-chan) a [[Henshin Hero|Power Ranger-wannabe]] (Wonder Momo), two humanoid girls with massive power ([[Guilty Gear|Dizzy]] and [[
** The villains are not better about this: We have a Slime Girl (Melona), a Wraith Maid (Airi), a lesbian Cleopatra-wannabe (Menace), and her talking perverted sceptre (Setra), a Witch (Dora), a vampire (Lamica), a Bunny-heared [[Idol Singer]] (Luna), a gothic gunslinger (Aine), a Mecha-otaku (Humina) {{spoiler|two underage-looking priestesses (Ramshel and Sushel) and a girl in a giant Mecha (Weiss).}}
** And in ''Queen's Blade Rebellion'', due of the change of genre (from fighting in a tournament to waging a civil war), in the heroic side we have a {{spoiler|half-human half-demon}} princess (Annelotte), a underage-looking genius elf (Huit), a Robot Elf (Vingt), Two Ghost-hunting sisters {{spoiler|(and one of them is a boy in drag)}} (Tanyan and Sanyan), an half-angel half-human girl (Layla), a [[Stripperific]] jungle girl (Luna-Luna), a Samurai (Izumi), a Slave (Branwen) and many of the returning cast of the previous series.
Line 156:
** In fact, both the animated versions and the gamebooks makes it clear that the continent when all the story takes place ''doesn't have a name'' and it's only refered on-story as ''The Continent''. This is possibly intentional, since there's very few things written on stone about the whole setting, other than the rules of the titular tournament, so the authors can put any kind of stuff without worrying about contradicting themselves about the setting.
* [[World of Buxom]]
* [[X Meets Y]]: The game books and the both anime seasons: [[Dungeons
** And the sequel, Queen's Blade Rebellion: '''Queen's Blade''' meets ''[[Water Margin|The Water Margin]]'' with a dash of ''[[Star Wars]]''.
** The ''Spiral Chaos'' games: '''''Queen's Blade''''' meets ''[[Super Robot Wars]]''.
