Line 50:
** And then they get a copy of ''[[Sonic and Sega All Stars Racing|Hedgehog Kart]]''.
* [[Blatant Lies]]: When Ika gets amnesia in episode 7.2 in Season 2, Cindy and Sanae concoct a made up story of how she's an alien (Cindy) and fell in love with Sanae at first sight (Sanae). Ika nearly falls for it until Eiko tells them to stop trying screw up her memory.
* [[Blue
* [[Bowdlerise]]: In the manga, when we first see Chizuru get serious, she cuts off Ika's tentacles with a knife. In the anime, she does it with her bare hands.
** [[Tropes Are Not Bad|However]], this actually makes Chizuru ''even more'' [[Badass]].
Line 120:
** She's also called out on it when she demands scientific proof for the existence of ghosts, despite the fact that [[Arbitrary Skepticism|squids that look like human girls makes about as much sense.]]
* [[Follow the Leader]]: to ''[[Keroro Gunsou]]'', down to having Expies of Fuyuki, Natsumi and Aki. And a [[Verbal Tic]], de arimasu. Interestingly, ''Keroro'' sometimes features an underwater civilization that could execute a ''far'' more effective invasion if need be.
* [[Freeze
* [[Friend to All Children]]: Ika gets along really well with Takeru and the other kids at the beach.
* [[Fun Size]]: [http://www.mangafox.com/manga/shinryaku_ika_musume/v02/c038.5/1.html Mini Ika Musume]. [[Tastes Like Diabetes]] indeed.
* [[Fun
* [[The Gadfly]]: Chizuru.
* [[The Generic Guy]]: Takeru. According to Ika, anyway.
Line 149:
** [[Pun-Based Title]]: [[Woolseyism|Since that doesn't work in English]], the translation makes most of the chapter titles' puns on "Squid," "Ink," or "Fish," such as "Feeling Inkquisitive?" and "How about a squiddle walk?!"
* [[Idiot Ball]]: Cindy carries it for a little while in S2 4.1 when she fails to realize Eiko is still speaking Japanese instead of English and the [[In My Language, That Sounds Like...]] phrases get more and more ridiculous. It's still hilarious though.
* [[I'm Taking Her Home
* {{spoiler|1=[[Important Haircut]]/[[Bob Haircut]]}}: {{spoiler|Ika in episode 12. [[Fridge Brilliance|Interestingly, she cuts her tentacles at the same angle as Eiko's hair]].}}
* [[In-Series Nickname]]: The Three Stooges, for the MIT guys. Even Cindy herself calls them that (''in English!'').
Line 213:
** In both the manga (Chapter 147) and the anime (Season 2, Episode 6.1), they visit Kamakura's [[wikipedia:K%C5%8Dtoku-in|Daibutsu]].
* [[Recycled in Space]]: Inverted. This show is basically [[Keroro Gunsou]] without that pesky "space" thing... Also, Squid Girl's presence is public knowledge.
** This anime can be considered as Japan's own [[
*** ''Ika Musume herself'' can be considered as Japan's gender-flipped and '''moefied''' Squidward Tentacles.
* [[Reed Richards Is Useless]]: In their pursuit of extraterrestrial life, the MIT scientists have cured cancer and created a universal translator. Unfortunately, in their single-minded pursuit of the bizarre, they don't give a crap about either of these discoveries.
Line 226:
* [[She's Got Legs]]: Sanae, apparently, as shown in episode 11.
** Ika as well, as shown in episode 3.
* [[Shipper
* [[Shout-Out]]: When the scientists accidentally {{spoiler|turn the store invisible}}, they bring about the wrath of Chizuru. They try to protect against her attack by shielding themselves. Harris erects an [[Neon Genesis Evangelion|AT Barrier]], Clark brings out [[The Legend of Zelda
** Perhaps her martial prowess is a shoutout in itself? Cutting flies and tentacles BAREHANDED? Sounds supiciously like [[Hokuto no Ken|she is a Genyu Ken]] practitioner.
** In episode 11.1, Eiko brings a doll out of storage because it's picking up in value as a collectors item. It was part of a pair of doll toys known as [[Johnny
** Episode 7.1 of the second season starts with Squid Girl playing [[Golden Axe]], and in 7.2 she's playing [[Bonanza Bros]].
** There's also a [[Bland-Name Product]] version of [[Street Fighter|Street Fighter IV]], as well as "[[Sonic and Sega All Stars Racing|Hedge]][[Sonic the Hedgehog|hog]] [[Mario Kart|Kart.]]"
Line 264:
** In both cases, the "other" is {{spoiler|[[Punny Name|Tanabe Kozue]].}} Like Ika, she has an unusual hat, {{spoiler|but hers is round and orange. And [[Meaningful Name|the first syllables of her name are "tako", meaning octopus]]}}. She finds it amusing that Ika didn't bother to come up with a less obvious name than "Ika Musume"/"Squid Girl". {{spoiler|She appears again in the Season 2 finale.}}
* [[Three Shorts]]: This is because the original manga is basically a "gag-a-day" comic, with very short chapters (usually less than ten pages long).
* [[Throw the Dog
* [[Tickle Torture]]: All of chapter 81 (Season 2, episode 4.2 in the anime). Ika is eager to take it to [[Fetish Fuel|extreme levels]], but forgets that conquering humanity with tickling doesn't work if you're more ticklish than everyone else.
** She doesn't realize this until she attacks ''Chizuru'', of all people -- only to be told "You ''missed'' my weak spot."
