Line 15:
* Phony
* The Warning
* [[Dance Dance Revolution (Video Game)|Trip Machine]]
* Coward Mont Blanc
* [[Polysics|I My Me Mine]]
* The Vulture
* Take Me To The Hospital
* [[Daft Punk (Music)|Technologic]]
 
{{tropelist}}
 
* [[Allergic to Routine]]: Steffi, Gear, and even Raccoon seem to be motivated by boredom to some extent.
* [[An Arm and Aa Leg]]: Steffi and Gear suffer this to some extent, since they have prosthetic limbs. {{spoiler|Reed}} becomes a new addition after {{spoiler|Gear cuts his right arm off}}.
* [[Animal Mecha]]: Kiwibot is a ''kiwi bird'' mecha, hence the title.
** Not to mention the majority of the other mechas we've seen also have animal designs.
Line 49:
* [[Even Evil Has Standards]]: It remains to be seen if The Raccoon is really evil, but this thief refuses to use the chain claw while fighting Steffi because it's too deadly.
* [[Eyepatch of Power]]: Gear. Pretty literally. As in, it's an eyepatch with an "on/off" symbol on it.
* [[Fan Disservice]]: Heinrich Frolich in his [[Wearing a Flag Onon Your Head|German-flag-coloured boxers]], as considered [[In-Universe]] by Steffi.
* [[Five Rounds Rapid]]: Apparently SWAT teams don't exist in the KB universe, so the police are rather helpless against criminals like Gear, whose cyborg augmentations render her immune to their taser pistols.
* [[Flat What]]: Delivered by Racoon at the end of Chapter 7.
Line 94:
* [[Tone Shift]]: See the above entry for [[Darker and Edgier]].
* [[Translation Convention]]: Most of the German is left untranslated, but for extended passages it switches to English in angle brackets, just like in ''[[Megatokyo]]''.
* [[Uncanny Valley]]: [[In -Universe]]. 42's a rather cute [[Robot Girl]], but it's a little unnerving to see her open her mouth and have a grown man's voice come out. She's even more so when's she turned off. Both Steffi and the author (see the cast page) lampshade this.
** 42's mannerisms, constant smile no matter what the subject, and tendency to show up right behind people gives people the willies. Despite having no combat capabilities and intentionally built to look like a cute [[Robot Girl]], she manages to be vaguely creepy all the time without trying.
** Goes further into it during the confrontation with 35- she backflips ''on her head'' and keeps the same facial expression throughout.
* [[Weapon of Choice]]: Kiwibot. Also [[Meaningful Name|the title]] of the first track.
* [[Wearing a Flag Onon Your Head]]: Heinrich Frohlich wears German-flag-coloured boxers. And Steffi treats it as [[Fan Disservice]].
* [["Well Done, Son" Guy]]: Reed's greatest dream as a child was to be a policeman like his father. It's revealed later that Reed's father is the current police chief.
* [[Where Does He Get All Those Wonderful Toys?]]: The Raccoon has a TON of gadgets such as the claw hook, smoke bombs, a taser knuckle, knockout patches, and more. It's quite amazing considering that {{spoiler|she's just a young girl}}. It's implied that all of the gear is supplied by a larger organization.
