Line 10:
* [[AI Is a Crapshoot]]: FRIEND and Mr. Gordons.
* [[Angry Black Man]]: Butler of 12-"Slave Safari" is seeking revenge on the descendents of the families who enslaved his ancestors.
* [[Aren't You Going to Ravish Me?]]: Happens almost any time Remo encounters a girl who believes that the government is doing this figuratively to a minority group and ardently pleads him to do it physically to them.
* [[Author Avatar]]: Chiun and Remo.
* [[Batman Cold Open]]: the second chapter of nearly every novel introduces Remo dealing with low-level criminals. In addition, the second chapter always starts out with "His name was Remo, and..."
Line 21:
* [[Corrupt Corporate Executive]]: FRIEND and a few people.
* [[Crapsack World]]: Mostly tilts toward this, due to the people Remo deals with.
* [[Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?]]: Well, Remo certainly kicked his Expy in the face and got away with it.
* [[Does Not Like Guns]]: Chiun, and by extension Remo. They consider them toys for children, not proper weapons for assassins. Considering the abilities Sinjanu mastery has given them, they're right.
* [[Easy Amnesia]]: Remo has a bullet graze his temple in 008 - ''Summit Chase'', leading to multiple Amnesia Tropes:
Line 28:
* [[Fantastic Fighting Style]]: Sinanju, based in and named after the village of the same name.
* [[Fun With Acronyms]]: Averted because CURE isn't an acronym. However, also played straight with some of the various organizations that Remo goes after.
* [[Highly -Visible Ninja]]: Largely averted. When Remo and Chiun stalk, they usually just wear dark loose-fitting clothing and apply blacking to their faces. When actual ninja show up in the books, they're usually in civilian garb, although once or twice, they're seen on night missions in "black linen".
* [[I Know Kung Faux]]: Sinanju
* [[Infant Immortality]]: Largely averted in the series. Babies have their necks snapped. Third world children are run over. When Sinanju is poor, the villagers [[Deadly Euphemism|return the babies to the sea]]. However, Remo finds that he [[Wouldn't Hurt a Child]] due to his training in Sinanju, even when said child is pointing a gun at him.
Line 43:
* [[Mr. Alt Disney]]: Briefly recurring villain Uncle Sam Beasley.
* [[New Powers As the Plot Demands]]: Sinanju can be used for pretty much anything, if it needs to.
* [[The Obi -Wan]]: Chiun again.
* [[Old Master]]: Chiun.
* [[Only One Name]]: Chiun, FRIEND
