Line 24:
** Subverted in ''Full Throttle'' where she was {{spoiler|[[Put On a Bus|transferred to another precinct]]}}. Later in the season, {{spoiler|[[The Bus Came Back]]}} for nothing less than a {{spoiler|[[Beach Episode]]}}.
* [[Attractive Bent Gender]]: Aoi Futaba. The entire department, male and female alike, falls all over '''him''' in Episode 5.
* [[Art Evolution]]: The most noticeable being season 2 to season 3, though there's a noticeable change (de-evolution) from the OVAs to season 1. The series has gone through several design changes during its run, each to fit the style of the time period. Most noticeable being the eyes which have gotten more [[What Beautiful Eyes!|big, colorful and bright]].
** Aoi gets a [http://img59.imageshack.us/img59/1174/aoik.png noticeable change] in appearance over the pace of the series.
** [http://animefarm.net/articles/yuamanga/character.gif Very apparent] in the manga, where originally the characters looked nothing like their iconic designs.
Line 70:
* [[Cultural Translation]]: Subtle but still there. A few western references were added to both the manga and anime, most obviously the "Elvis in a UFO" reference in the first OVA.
* [[Cute Bruiser]]: Natsumi.
* [[Crime
* [[Darker and Edgier]]: The anime in comparison to the manga, and [[The Movie]] in comparison to the whole series.
* [[Date Peepers]]: The second half of the third OAV has Miyuki and Ken ''ordered'' to go on a date by [[Da Chief]] so they can sort their troubles, then several officers peep on them and keep him informed. The reason? {{spoiler|Miyuki mistakenly believes that Natsumi had a one-night stand with Nakajima, since she saw them racing together very early (when in truth, they just went out to talk and ride their bikes). That ''seriously'' disrupted their partner dynamics. }}
Line 109:
* [[Idiot Crows]]: Flown past the Strike Man a few times.
* [[Improbable Weapon User]]: Strike Man's arsenal gets more and more bizarre with each appearance, climaxing with spiked baseballs.
* [[Improbably
* [[In the Name of The Moon]]: In the name of the penal code!
** Also Strike Man's Strike Brigade, though the girls are just punishing the boys who like to tease them.
Line 120:
* [[The Load]]: Yoriko. Especially in the movie.
* [[Lovely Angels]]: Natsumi and Miyuki. Also, Aoi is so feminine that she and Yoriko also fall here to an extent.
* [[Luck
* [[No Export for You]]: ''No Mercy!!'' has not been released outside of Japan. The manga is also hard to find due to lack of re-releases, and is mostly not officially exported. The fact that [[Dark Horse Comics]], responsible for the English version, had to contend with [[Executive Meddling]]<ref> presumably by Kosuke Fujishima himself</ref> didn't help matters much.
* [[Mask Power]]: Completely subverted -- Strike Man is an amusing clown.
Line 141:
* [[Older Than They Look]]: Kachou is fifty, but looks barely 35. Oshou, too, "still has it goin' on" despite the fact that he has to be at least in his sixties or seventies.
** While their ages are [[Vague Age|never confirmed]], the main girls seem to be this due to the fact they say they're old when compared to twenty something year olds. Then again they could just be exaggerating the [[Christmas Cake]] trope.
* [[Out
* [[Paintball Episode]] -- One episode features Chie Sagamiono challenging Yoriko to a paintball match; another one features the Bokuto officers visiting an amusement park with a (in the anime) paintball arena / (in the manga) laser tag arena.
* [[Pet the Dog]]: Episode 5 of ''Full Throttle'' featured a serial burglar who has been burglarising vehicles for over thirty years when he rescued a baby from a possible heat stroke from a locked vehicle in one of his burglary attempts out of nothing but compassion.
Line 155:
** The second ending theme has Miyuki as a bride in a [[Fairytale Wedding Dress]], with ''Natsumi'' bringing her flowers and acting as the groom, for all intents.
** The ending theme to ''Full Throttle'' puts Miyuki and Natsumi in a few compromising, and rather romantic, positions.
* [[Shout
** just in case someone claims suggestion a might have been about any tall monster, there was a silhouette.
* [[Shown Their Work]]: At the end of the first episode, Miyuki and Natsumi are eating a late picnic lunch and doing so well out of sight since police officers are not allowed to be seen eating in public while in uniform in Japan.
