Line 51:
** The previous supervisor takes this to awful levels. In the anime, she forces three preteen girls to wear irremovable collars, and [["The Reason You Suck" Speech|repeatedly states that she considers them to be animals]]. Unforgivable mistreatment of any child, and not any way to ensure that your resident [[Person of Mass Destruction|people of mass destruction]] grow up happy and well-adjusted. This is actually ''toned down'' from the manga, where she subjects The Children to ''[[Electric Torture]]''.
* [[Bunny Ears Lawyer]]—With about two exceptions, everyone at BABEL is superhumanly competent and off the wall weird.
** Muscle Okama: [[Hard Gay]] leather freak. [http://fabien.li/tvtropes/zkc/ZKC_ch197_p01.png Brilliant diplomat]{{Dead link}}.
** Minamoto more or less averts this, and thus is stuck as the [[Only Sane Man]].
* [[Calling Your Attacks]]—Kaoru loves this, using "Psychic [Whatever]!" at any opportunity.
Line 67:
* [[Clingy Jealous Girl]]—Kaoru doesn't like it when anyone tries to disrupt the team's dynamics.
** She especially doesn't like it when Minamoto starts paying attention to anyone besides herself (though this is done in a cute way).
** One incident after the [[Time Skip]] hints that her jealousy [http://fabien.li/tvtropes/zkc/ZKC_ch139_p15-16.png might be getting a bit more serious]{{Dead link}}.
*** To be fair, all of the girls are pretty clingy to Minamoto. And occasionally they do get jealous at each other.
* [[Clothing Damage]]—To show that the girls are growing... Except for Aoi, who is still quite a [[Pettanko]].
Line 81:
** And now, in a recent arc, he decks himself out in warpaint and CHOPS THE HEAD OFF OF A LION.
** [http://mangafox.me/manga/zettai_karen_children/v23/c213/7.html I'LL GIVE YOU TOXOPLASMAAA!]
* [[Crouching Scholar Hidden Badass]]—We knew that Minamoto a [[The Smart Guy|top notch scientist]], [[The Gunslinger|marksman]], [[Guile Hero|expect tactician]] and that he had [[Training from Hell|special forces training]], but it still a suprise to see him [http://fabien.li/tvtropes/zkc/ZKC_ch200_p11.png put a submission grapple]{{Dead link}} on a [[Person of Mass Destruction|level 7 Esper]]. Oh [http://fabien.li/tvtropes/zkc/ZKC_ch200_p13.png it doesn't work out of course,]{{Dead link}} but it's still pretty [[Badass]].
* [[Cute Little Fangs]]—Hatsune still sports them when she's in her human form.
* [[Dancing Theme]]—The second ending theme, though only twice out of all the times it's played.
Line 257:
* [[Shout-Out]]—quite full of them, not at [[Ghost Sweeper Mikami]] levels, but Shiina is getting really good with this trope. Often enough the reference is lampshaded pretty heavily too.
** Kaoru wants to purchase a toy in one episode that resembles [[Haruhi Suzumiya|Haruhi]] almost exactly. Considering who Kaoru is voiced by, this doubles as an [[Actor Allusion]].
*** Much later, we have this [http://fabien.li/tvtropes/zkc/ZKC_ch203_p11.png scene]{{Dead link}}. Also doubles as an [[Actor Allusion]].
*** [http://fabien.li/tvtropes/zkc/ZKC_ch184_p04.png "Psychic Endless Eigh-"]{{Dead link}}
** There's even a [[Shout-Out]] to [[Detroit Metal City]] when Kaoru shows up in a [http://www.mangafox.com/manga/zettai_karen_children/v17/c191/15.html Krauser mask].
** The best shout out is chapter 126/episode 46, where a [[Rewriting Reality|notebook that can change the future]] launches the cast into a ''[[Death Note]]'' homage, starring Sakaki as L.
Line 269:
*** Another one has a [[Haruhi Suzumiya|Haruhi]] [http://www.mangafox.com/manga/zettai_karen_children/v14/c124 reference] where he asks espers to join him.
** A small subtle one in the Anime, Kaoru's Pyschic Shield (probably most clearly seen in episode 7) is identical in shape, colour, and style to an [[Neon Genesis Evangelion|AT Field]].
** The picture [http://fabien.li/tvtropes/zkc/ZKC_ch105_p03.png here]{{Dead link}} is similar to a scene from Project A-ko
** In the anime, [[Animorphism|Animorph]] Hatsune can morph into a Bowdlerized version of [[Devilman|Sirene]].
** Sakaki is a [[Black Jack|doctor who detests the Japanese medical hierarchy ''and'' wields scalpels as weapons]].
*** Cosplayed [http://www.mangafox.com/manga/zettai_karen_children/v07/c062.5/2.html here].
** Surprisingly nobody else seems to have caught [[The World Only God Knows]] ref in [http://fabien.li/tvtropes/zkc/ZKC_ch144_p11.png this page]{{Dead link}}
** Kaoru [http://www.mangafox.com/manga/zettai_karen_children/v07/c062/19.html gets a hat] [[One Piece|and accompanying outfit]].
** And [http://www.mangafox.com/manga/zettai_karen_children/v13/c115/3.html here] the girls freak out a la Kazuo Umezu.
** [[Carrie]], a purely psychic alter-ego/bodiless twin of Minamoto's ex.
** [[To LOVE-Ru]]: when [http://fabien.li/tvtropes/zkc/ZKC_ch190_p03.png Lala's here]{{Dead link}}, you know fanservice is not far!
** In the manga, the [[Blade Runner|Voight-Kampff test]] is used to identify espers and gauge their [[Power Levels]].
*** Incidentally, the {{spoiler|[http://www.mangafox.com/manga/zettai_karen_children/v01/c001.3/1.html blaster] issued to Minamoto bears a [http://www.imfdb.org/wiki/Blade_Runner#LAPD_2019_blaster striking resemblance] to Deckard's gun.}}
