Squid Girl/Characters: Difference between revisions

-----

* [[Alien Hair]]

* [[Applied Phlebotinum]]: In Seasons 2 episode 2.3 it turns out that Ika Musume can pick up heavy weights with her tentacles because she can manipulate her weight using her bracelets.

** [[Required Secondary Powers]]

* [[Brilliant but Lazy]]: She's shown to be extremely good at math, has mastered several skills that have nothing to do with world domination, and of course there's her extremely powerful tentacles. She could at least be a serious threat, if she wasn't so lazy and easily distracted (and of course, if it weren't for Chizuru.)

* [[Combat Tentacles]]

* [[Comically Missing the Point]]

** In a similar vein, [[I Call It Vera|Black Tiger, Black Tiger GT and Black Tiger Ticonderoga]], for her bamboo boat.

* [[Ineffectual Sympathetic Villain]]

** [[Light Is Not Good]]: and there is the fact of Ika being a [[Villain Protagonist]].

* [[Multi Armed Multitasking]]

* [[Mundane Object Amazement]]: Given her little knowledge of the human world, this naturally comes in.

* [[Verbal Tic]]: ''-de geso''. The English version of the anime translates this into frequent ocean life puns, apparently as an [[Ascended Meme]] from the fansubs.

* [[Villain Protagonist]]

** {{spoiler|After the end of Season 2, Episode 11.3, it looks like Ika is not afraid of Chizuru anymore, even if she accidentally ticks her off again and ''gets dragged by her to a room.''}}

* [[Work Off the Debt]]

* [[Jerk With a Heart of Gold]]: She's not a jerk per se, but given [[Genius Ditz|Ika's]] [[Ted Baxter|behavior]], can we really blame her for sometimes being abrasive towards her?

* [[Only Sane Man]]: Narrative-wise. She's also the person Ika interacts with the most.

* [[Sailor Fuku]]: Her high-school uniform.

 

* [[Oh Crap]]: The reaction she elicits from anyone who chances upon her scarier side.

** The first time Ika Musume sees Chizuru's scarier side, you can [[Bring My Brown Pants|hear some sort of liquid trickling in the background]]...

* [[Troll]]/TheGadfly: sometimes she does things because it might be ''fun''.

* [[Weight Woe]]: Her only weakness. Ika may have a chance of ''actually beating her'' using only this weakness, if she's smart enough to notice it.

* [[Stalker With a Crush]]: Not exactly a stalker, but he keeps lots of pictures of Chizuru.

* [[Walking Shirtless Scene]]: Given his job, this is to be expected.

 

=== Sanae Nagatsuki ===

* [[Only Sane Man]]

* [[Surfer Dude|Surfer Babe]]: And she [[Serious Business|takes it seriously]].

 

=== Ayumi Tokita ===

-----

* [[Mad Scientist]]: His Ika kigurumi are both cute and creepy, but creepy most of the time. He even has built a ''toilet room'' out of them.

* [[No Name Given]]

 

=== Harris, Clark and Martin ===

* [[Mad Scientist]]

* [[Reed Richards Is Useless]]: In their zeal to discover Ika's "alien" heritage, they conveniently overlook their other, far more important discoveries: a universal language translator ''and'' a cure for cancer. Being that we actually learn this ''from them'', they appear to have some faint awareness of the fact that they're squandering their talents and discoveries

 

=== Kiyomi Sakura ===
