Birdy the Mighty: Difference between revisions

* [[Does This Remind You of Anything?]]: The basic premise is remarkably similar to a long-running arc in [[Marvel]]'s [[Captain Mar-Vell|Captain Marvel]] series, where an ordinary guy must share his body with a powerful superhero who has his own identity and motivations, right down to the two being able to talk to each other.

* [[Doing It for the Art]]: ''Decode'' was commercially unsuccessful, but still produced a second season of excellent quality. Sadly, it looks like the series will have another cliffhanger ending.

** Or maybe not Gomez. At the end of the OVA, {{spoiler|he says he might even take down Revi himself if he deems her just a terrorist}}. His role is also muddled in the remade manga, since he {{spoiler|takes in Chigira after he's turned into a beastman and helps him learn to control it. He also develops a more-or-less professional relationship with Birdy, who is willing to do so thanks to him taking care of Chigira}}.

* [[Dramatic Chase Opening]]: The OVA.

* [[Posthumous Character]]: {{spoiler|Violin}}

* [[Recurring Extra]]: In ''Decode'', the two yakuzas whose car keeps getting damaged by Birdy.

* [[The Revolution Will Not Be Civilized]]/[[Well-Intentioned Extremist]]/[[Your Terrorists Are Our Freedom Fighters]]: In the flashback we see in the second season of ''Decode'', a lot of Revi's actions are an attempt to force the Federation to improve the lot of Altirrans so they aren't treated with racism and like lower class citizens anymore. A lot of her actions have included terrorist attacks on key government building, allying herself with members of the Federation's enemies, and {{spoiler|trying to obtain a [[Doomsday Device]]}} In the manga, the story is a little bit different. Revi is recognized as a genius, and quickly climbs to a high rank in the government science branch despite her race. Her terrorist attack on the central government is inexplicable, and followed by several more destructive bombings before disappearing to Earth.

** {{spoiler|Nataru}} is also starts out a [[Well-Intentioned Extremist]], taking out the group most of the group of escaped aliens for the role in what happened in Season 1 of ''Decode''. He slips into [[Moral Event Horizon]] when he kills two of them who disguise themselves as childern, one of them even deciding to leave the others in protest of what they're doing.
