Line 25:
** Not to mention Haru and Ishuu. Hell, even Akiyuki's parents qualify!
*** Hell, almost anyone who's not a Xam'd qualifies as this.
* [[Beam Spam]] - As the most powerful [[Living Weapon]] in the series, {{spoiler|the Hiruken Emperor}} takes the Humanforms' [[Frickin' Laser Beams]] [[Up to Eleven]]. {{spoiler|By the end of the series, Akiyuki is also capable of pulling off a more limited version.}}
* [[Beware the Nice Ones]] - Ahm: Usually a kind and good natured guy, acting as father figure to most of the crew. But don't '''ever''' attack his ship, lest you feel the wrath of his [[BFG|cannon]].
* [[BFG]] - Ishuu's [[Weapon of Choice]].
Line 43:
* [[Combined Energy Attack]] - {{spoiler|Something of this sort was used against the Northern Emperor. It worked... Possibly. Maybe it was the name-giving.}}
* [[Cool Airship]] - The Zanbani and the Northern and Southern military ships. The Beat Kayaks, meanwhile, combine this with [[Cool Bike]].
* [[Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?]] - {{spoiler|Subverted; the Captain's attempt at killing the Emperor with a regular bomb is a miserable failure that only leads to Raigyo dying... and the [[Eldritch Abomination]] in question ''[[Oh Crap|waking up]]''.}}
* [[Distant Finale]]
* [[Dress Hits Floor]] - Kujireika's reaction to being cornered by several ASP Suits, right before {{spoiler|going [[One
* [[Dropped a Bridge On Him]] - {{spoiler|Raigyo}}
* [[Eldritch Abomination]] - The Hiruken Emperor
Line 64:
* [[Finger Poke of Doom]] - The Hiruken Emperor's solution to being attacked by an enraged {{spoiler|Kujireika}}. Given that said finger is about the size of an industrial girder, its effectiveness is quite understandable... though still not much less humiliating for its victim.
* [[Foreign Language Theme]] - All of the opening and ending songs are entirely in English, though the openings feature pronunciation so bizarre it's virtually impossible to understand without subtitles.
* [[Frickin' Laser Beams]] - The (devastating) primary armament of the Humanform Weapons {{spoiler|and sufficiently powerful Xam'd}}.
* [[Gainax Ending]]
* [[Gambit Pileup]] - After Episode 19 and {{spoiler|the Hiruken Emperor's return}}, every single faction in the story swings their plans into action at once. The results are predictably messy.
Line 83:
* [[Kid Sidekick]] - Yango to Nakiami.
* [[Lady of War]] - Ishuu
* [[Laser
* [[The Lancer]] - Nakiami
* [[Libation for The Dead]], until Ishuu realises the recipient is underage and consumes the remainder herself.
* [[Living Weapon]] - The Humanforms, which serve as aircraft and tanks for the Northern Army. {{spoiler|The Xam'd also have elements of this.}}
* [[Loss of Identity]] - Akiyuki after episode 14 thanks to [[Laser
* [[The Lifestream]] - The Ruikon flow.
* [[Making a Splash]] - Raiygo's Xam'd form's power and primary attack.
Line 96:
* [[No Name Given]] - {{spoiler|The northern emperor. It's apparently an important plot point.}}
* [[Noodle Incident]] - the Battle of Barador.
* [[The Obi
** The same can be said for Nakiami.
* [[One
* [[The Only One Allowed to Defeat You]] - More accurately, 'The Only One Allowed To Defeat Me'. When {{spoiler|Kujireika}} interrupts his duel with Akiyuki by trying to kill him, the Hiruken Emperor makes his feelings on the matter [[Impaled With Extreme Prejudice|abundantly clear]].
* [[Ordinary High School Student]]
Line 119:
* [[Schizo Tech]] - ''And how!''
* [[Sealed Evil in A Can]] - The Hiruken Emperor
* [[Sibling Yin
* [[Spell My Name With an "S"]] - The name of the series has been variably spelled as "Xam'd" by the US PSN release and current official websites, "Xamdou" by the early official websites, "Zamned" by the Japanese eye catches and ending theme album cover, and "Zamudo" through direct romanization of the katakana used (as well as random kanji on the soundtrack's track listing).
* [[Shout Out]] - Nakiami's flying kayak (somewhat a cross between the [[Nausicaa of the Valley of The Wind|Mehve]] and the [[Cowboy Bebop|Swordfish]]), the Worm Handlers, the airships and the religious tribes from the Nausicaa manga.
* [[Spiritual Successor]] - of ''[[Eureka Seven]]''. Not surprising since they're made by the same studio.
Line 139:
* [[Unexplained Recovery]] - {{spoiler|Akiyuki: after being half transformed and turned to stone for nine years.}}
* [[Unlucky Childhood Friend]] - Poor Furuichi. Haru too, {{spoiler|twice, although she ultimately manages to subvert it.}}
** It wasn't so much that Haru was Akiyuki's [[Unlucky Childhood Friend]], but more than while their feelings were mutual they were [[Star
* [[The Virus]]
* [[Voluntary Shapeshifting]] - A common power for most Xam'ds, but especially used by Akiyuki.
* [[Villainous Breakdown]] - Kakisu has a slight one towards the end of the series.
* [[Wham Episode]] - Episode 14. {{spoiler|Furuichi becomes a Xam'd, goes beserk, and subsequently ''beheads himself'', Akiyuki loses his mind, and the Commander shows his true colours.}}
* [[What Measure Is a Non
* [[Wing Pull]] - Even the guy ''with'' the wings is surprised.
* [[With Great Power Comes Great Insanity]]
Line 151:
** ''[[Eureka Seven]]'' meets ''[[Guyver]]''.
* [[Xanatos Gambit]] - The entire point of seeding the Hiruko around the world was to: {{spoiler|try to give birth to a Xam'd strong enough to kill the Hiruken Emperor.}}
* [[Where Are They Now? Epilogue]] - Latter half of the final episode.
