Line 20:
* [[Cool Bike]]
* [[Cool Guns]]: In pistol form, it can shoot through an entire ''jet''. With add ons, {{spoiler|it becomes strong enough to shoot down nuclear missiles. In orbit. From the surface.}}
* [[Call a Smeerp Aa Rabbit]]: The technorganic [[Big Creepy -Crawlies]] are called "horses". But so is Zouichi's motorcycle.
* [[Fanon]]: Everybody ''knew'' this was a prequel to ''BLAME!'' untill the news came out that [[Word of God]] said it wasn't.
* [[Fun Withwith Acronyms]]: Sometimes it seems like the DRF must have an entire department that just comes up with acronymns for its subbranches.
* [[Genre Shift]]: From [[Cyberpunk]] [[Zombie Apocalypse]] to [[Heroic Fantasy]] [[Cyberpunk]].
* [[The Gunslinger]]: All [[Artificial Human|Artificial Humans]]. You don't see gunplay this fast anywhere outside [[The Dark Tower]].
Line 34:
* [[Ramming Always Works]]: "I still have one projectile left."
* [[Rule of Cool]]: Responsible for quite a lot of the plot, action and character design.
* [[Russian Guy Suffers Most]]: It's a bit of a running gag that [[Everything's Worse Withwith Bears|Kozlov the talking bear]] keeps getting bits of himself shot off by the bad guys. Considering his earlier manga, ''[[Blame]]'' also features another guy with an Eastern-European-sounding name who endures similar hardships, it seems [[Tsutomu Nihei]] really gets a kick out of this trope.
* [[Scenery Gorn]]
* [[Shout -Out]]: There are a lot, but the most obvious are the AI companions that appear as 10 inch tall, pretty young ladies in tight fitting clothes with odd vertical black markings. Now [[Halo|where]] have I seen that before?
** Your first thought when seeing Fuyu is [http://www35.onemanga.com/Biomega/4/01/ "Oh, hello Cortana."] And she even has the same job.
*** This is by the same guy that did the Halo comic so I don't think anyone minds.
*** Given how ridiculously powerful Zoichi's pistol is its safe to say that Nihei did not approve of the nerfing of Halo:CE's pistol. That's right boys and girls, we may have found a Japanese Halo fan, they do exist!
** The RDF's [[Ax Crazy]] patrol officers wear aprons and masks that look like faces. [[The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (Film)|Hmmm...]]
** The [[Mega Corp]] known as Toha Heavy Industries is a nod to Nihei's earlier manga, ''BLAME!'', which featured a megastructure of the same name. This lead most fans to believe that ''Biomega'' was meant to be a prequel until [[Word of God]] said it was a different continuity.
* [[Transhuman]]: Just about everyone.
