Line 345 ⟶ 346:
* [[A Nazi By Any Other Name]] Yes the series has characters who are based on WWII Germans, but the nation of Germany in their world is known as Karlsland and is still a monarchy. Meanwhile, the Neuroi take on representing the Nazis in the sense that THEY are the enemy to the rest of the world that's out to exterminate people.
* [[Attack Its Weak Point]] Every single Neuroi has a core. If the core is destroyed so is the main body and all drones created by the neuroi.
* [[Cute Monster Girl]] The Neuroi Girls near the end of season 1 and the beginning of Season 2 are [[Fetish Fuel|really attractive to some people.]] Too bad the two that show up, [[Beam Spam|get]] [[Death From Above|blasted]] [[Dropped a Bridge on Him|unceremoniously]] with [[There Is No Kill Like an Overkill|with extreme prejudice.]]
* [[Master Race]] Their mission seems to be to wipe out the human race and conquer Earth. Why? Unknown. However, one thing is for sure: They aren't much interested in a peaceful co-existence, since {{spoiler|there were at least 2 times when a Witch attempted to make contact with a Neuroi to possibly befriend and/or reason with them. Both times, said Neuroi was obliterated by another Neuroi. In fact, the 2nd time it happened, an entire Neuroi hive was wiped out by a larger hive that appeared over the Earth.}}
* [[Those Wacky Nazis]] For the most part, the Neuroi seem like mostly mindless alien monsters, which isn't true since they are treated mostly as a serious threat and have systematically conquered much of the world by the time of the story. However, this particular trope applies to season 2, episode 7. In said episode, a tiny lady-bug like Neuroi infiltrates the base and starts cutting the power to all the base's electric systems to power up its giant secondary body... While at the same time the tiny one is seen "attacking" each witch one by one by sneaking into their panties and crawling upon their butts. Why? We neeeeeeeeeeever know. {{spoiler|But it sure is funny.}}
