Line 70:
* [[Death Ray]]: The Ultimate Cannon is a [[Wave Motion Gun]] that sprays a massive one-hit kill beam that, well, kills things.
* [[Defeat Means Friendship]]: All Kou needs to do to get people on his side is to beat them in battle. Some people take multiple beatings.
* [[Deus Ex Nukina]]: The ICBM Tank and Death ICBM can and will slaughter just about anything, [[Friendly Fire Index|occasionally including itself]] in the case of the former, and [[Suicide Attack|''definitely'']] including itself for the latter.
* [[Disc One Nuke]]: Get a Barrier Girl early, and watch the difficulty curve plummet.
* [[Doppelganger Spin]]: The Double Ninja's special ability.
* [[The Dragon]]: Orochi to the Galactic Emperor.
* [[Drill Tank]]: The, uh, [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|Drill Tank]] -: the only tank that can also make melee strikes.
* [[Dual-Wielding]]: A ''lot'' of Borgs, but Imperial Knight and Dark Knight gladly take this one [[Up to Eleven]] by ''double'' [[Dual-Wielding]] - they each have a pair of swords ''and'' a pair of [[Luckily, My Shield Will Protect Me|shields]].
* [[Dual Boss]]: Sapphire Knight and Ruby Knight (when scripted; battles that generate some of their Borgs randomly may feature one without the other).
Line 142:
* [[Mad Bomber]]: The Remote Bomber and the Time Bomber. As they only take [[Scratch Damage|one hit point of damage]] from their own explosions, a viable strategy is to have them close with the enemy and deliberately drop bombs to hit everyone. Another involves using a bomb as a shield (which triggers the bomb, thus taking much less damage from the attack).
* [[Magic Skirt]]/[[Panty Shot]]: Many Angel Borgs have very, very short skirts, but they never move. You can still peek under them in the status screen by swinging the camera directly under them. [[The Dev Team Thinks of Everything|The Nurse Borgs' panties have a]] [[Visual Innuendo|screwhead design on the back]].
* [[Magnet Hands]]: Nobody will ever lose their grip on a weapon [[Throwing Your Sword Always Works|unless they mean to]] despite getting hit by bullets, swords bigger than they are, lasers, or NUKES.
** Both Magnet Robots have literal magnet hands.
* [[The Medic]]: The Nurse Borgs. Mana by extension, since a great deal of her forces consist of Nurses and support Borgs.
Line 160:
** Non-partner example: Imperial Knight has his shield-swords Alpha and Omega, while [[Evil Counterpart|Dark Knight]] has Sol and Star.
* [[Never Say "Die"]]: Played straight when talking about {{spoiler|what happened to Sho's father}}, but also averted, what with the antagonists being called the Death Force and all.
* [[New Game+]]: You keep all your Borgs, your experience, ''and'' rare Borgs appear more frequently. You actually get a new save file each time, denoting further levels of "plus-ness", up to a maximum of eight. Defeating additional playthroughs also nets you rarer and rarer [[PalletPalette Swap|Palette Swaps]]s of G Red.
* [[Nice Hat]]:
** Usagi's beanie and Tsutomu's newsboy cap.
Line 167:
* [[One-Hit Kill]]: Attacks that appear to do this really just deal more damage then most Borgs have HP; such attacks generally cover a very wide area. Said attacks also usually don't kill huge Borgs (IE Fortresses and Dragons), but rather deal a large amount of damage.
* [[Optional Party Member]]: {{spoiler|Sho and Orochi. Contrary to popular belief, it ''is'' possible to get one and not the other}}.
* [[Orochi]]: Well, Orochi. She even hisses as part of her [[Battlebattle Banter]]banter.
* [[Otaku]]: Met is a military Otaku.
* [[Our Vampires Are Different]]: The Vampire Knight (and Nekobe's Vlad) just constantly loses health (but [[Life Energy|can heal it]] with every successful melee hit.
Line 199:
** Metal Hero is designed after the [[Metal Heroes]], as if the name wasn't obvious enough.
** G Red alone can do a [[Kamen Rider|Rider Kick]], [[G Gundam|Shining Finger]] and [[Mazinger Z|Breast Fire]].
** Victory Tank, Victory Jet, Panther Robot, Jet Eagle and several other Borgs share the same blocky design as the [[Transformers]]--... along with [[Transforming Mecha|the more obvious similarities]].
** [[This Is a Drill|Drill Robot]] looks more than a little similar to [[Mega Man 4|Drill Man]].
** The Cyber Girls' bodysuits share the same basic design and color-scheme as the ''[[Bubblegum Crisis]]'' girls.
Line 233:
* [[Tsundere]]: Kei.
* [[Universal Poison]]
* [[Wave Motion Gun]]: Several Borgs have incredibly powerful charge shots -: most prominent being the Ultimate Cannon, [[Death Ray|which wipes out everything in front of it when it fires]]. Even if it ''does'' take a full minute to charge.
* [[Weaksauce Weakness]]: {{spoiler|The Galactic Emperor is particularly vulnerable to Drill Robots, which are fairly low-tier Borgs}}.
* [[We Cannot Go on Without You]]: Specifically applies to the player's squad in general: it doesn't matter if all of your named borgs are done, but as long as you have even the merest Normal Ninja, your side can win.
* [[Whoring]]:
** Spamming G Red's charge attack is very tempting as, despite its only moderate damage output for a charge attack, it has a short charge time, can juggle some opponents mercilessly, and fires through stage obstacles.
** The dash moves for Angel and Wing Borgs are also extremely prone to this, as they can even keep firing (if their target is at a distance) while whoring out their absurd amount of speed.
** Finally, given the extremely rapid recharge power granted under Burst Mode, it's possible for several users of a [[Wave Motion Gun]] to whore '''those''' out. A Beam Gunner activating Burst Mode is practically an instant-win scenario.
