Line 17:
* [[Americans Are Cowboys]]: Fumio's grandfather was a Texan bounty-hunter who wears a cowboy hat and frilled buckskin vest.
* {{spoiler|[[And the Adventure Continues...]]}}
* [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking]]: The [[Class Representative]] decides to confront the girl waving around a bloodied chainsaw... [[Comically Missing the Point|and make her take her shoes off]]. After all, the regulations [[Aint No Rule|say nothing about carving people to ribbons with a chainsaw]].
* [[Ax Crazy]]: Oh yeah. Big time.
Line 27:
* [[But Not Too Foreign]]: The protagonist is 25% "American", since her grandfather was a Texan bounty-hunter who settled in Japan after meeting Fumio's grandmother. If anything, Fumio actually wishes she was ''more'' foreign, because she [[I Just Want to Be Special|wants to stand out.]]
* [[Butterfly of Doom]]: Discussed; Kaoruko thinks that this is why the new transfer student is going after Takumi -- {{spoiler|specifically, that aliens need him to turn the tide of a great war being waged in space}}. Her logic is... a little out there.
* [[Chainsaw Good]]: It's right there in the [[Exactly What It Says
* [[Axes At School|Chainsaws At School]]: And Fumio uses it on ''everybody''.
* [[Cloudcuckoolander]]: Kaoruko Odagiri, who believes that she and Fumio are reincarnated warriors from a past life, that she can hear radio waves, and that the new transfer student is {{spoiler|[[The Cuckoolander Was Right|an alien who has come to Earth to abduct Takumi]]}}, among other things.
Line 38:
* [[Gainax Ending]]: The clues are all over the place. [[The Cuckoolander Was Right|Kaoruko even spoils the big twist with a straight face]], and Fumio chooses to not believe it, not because she thinks it's not true, but just because the implications are unacceptable for her. But despite all of this, the open ending still manages to be this, especially to those expecting an horror story rather than a [[Science Fiction|sci-fi]] one.
* [[Giggling Villain]]: The transfer student when she's around Fumio.
* [[Girl
* [[Heir to
* [[Hidden Eyes]]: Most of Fumio's classmates appear this way while inexplicably rushing ''towards'' the girl with the chainsaw.
* [[How We Got Here]]: The story opens on the day of the massacre, and the first half is flashbacks of the events leading up to it.
Line 49:
''Speech'': I didn't notice until now but...[[Academy of Adventure|this school is actually pretty interesting]]. }}
* [[Madness Mantra]]: "'''Unforgivable! Unforgivable! Unforgivable!''' '''''TOTALLY UNFORGIVABLE!!!'''''"
* [[Martial Arts and Crafts]]: Fumio, whose grandfather taught her a 140-year-old chainsaw martial art created by ''Confederate foresters'' for use during the ''U.S. Civil War''. This becomes the subject of [[In
* [[Meganekko]]: Subverted by Fumio.
* {{spoiler|[[Mirror Match]]}}: {{spoiler|The transfer student reveals the true extent of her supernatural power by changing into an exact physical duplicate of Fumio, forcing the protagonist to fight herself. Which of course means a ''[[Crowning Moment of Awesome|chainsaw duel]]''}}.
* [[No Name Given]]: The [[New Transfer Student]]'s introduction gets cut off and we never learn her name.
* [[Otaku]]: When Fumio is not reading [[Manga]] during class, she's working the story lines into conversations with her boyfriend.
* [[Pettanko]] / [[A
* [[Phenotype Stereotype]]: Fumio's grandfather, who looks and dresses like [[Expy|John Wayne]].
* [[Poor Communication Kills]]: Еspecially when you're trying to "communicate" your feelings ''via a friggin' chainsaw''. Fumio actually invokes this trope. Since everyone is ignoring her, and she's not that good at communicating to start with, the only way she can appropriately convey her point is to get her chainsaw out and let it do the talking<ref>But chainsaws are the great communicator! She must not be doing it right.</ref>.
