Line 11:
** ''While jumping around between galloping horses'', no less.
* [[Arms and Armor Theme Naming]]: Almost everyone is named after a type or brand of firearm or ammunition.
* {{spoiler|[[Back Fromfrom the Dead]]}} Pacifica
* [[Bad Export for You]]: For the US DVD release, Bandai received masters that were of notably worse quality than the Japanese DVD release. ''Could'' have been an innocent mistake, but it also could've been a move by Kadokawa to worsen the cheaper R1 release and discourage reverse importation.
* [[Break the Cutie]]: Pacifica. Yeah, kinda inevitable when everyone in the world is trying to kill you.
** {{spoiler|The Breaking finally comes in forest night scene of episode 22. If it doesn't tear your heart to watch as she starts grieving for her lost friend, then you have no soul. It doesn't help that this scene is done by Kari Wahlgren, the same voice actress who played Lavie Head in [[Last Exile]]. Let's just say the lady does [[Tear Jerker]] bits very well.}}
* [[Brown Note]]: Simply ''looking'' at a Peacemaker directly in the eye is enough to [[Brainwashed|brainwash]] an entire ''city''.
Line 28:
* {{spoiler|[[Death-Activated Superpower]]: Pacifica.}}
* [[Defrosting Ice Queen]]: Zefiris. And Cz to a lesser extent.
* [[Dilating Door]]: The doors of Skid are the relatively conservative sliding Star Trek variant, but the protagonists just can't get used to them.
* [[Disappears Into Light]]: {{spoiler|Pacifica, as her full powers are released on her death.}}
* [[Doing inIn the Wizard]]: Sort of. See [[Clarke's Third Law]].
* [[Earn Your Happy Ending]]
* [[Emotionless Girl]]: Zefiris and Natalie. {{spoiler|A flashback shows that Zefiris wasn't always like this, as she's seen crying quite a bit when her previous master died. Perhaps a better description would be that Zefiris tries to invoke this trope in a sort of "I am [[Just a Machine]]" complex and fails.}}
Line 81:
* [[Ruins of the Modern Age]]
* [[Screw Destiny]]
* [[Selective Slaughter]]: The Peacemakers use their power to kill everyone ''but'' their assigned target: Pacifica Casull. Apparently their programming will not permit it.
** It is suggested that this is because her power (a kind of Magic-EMP which leaves nearby peacemakers considerably weakened) is unleashed when she is directly attacked. Thus they need to convince humans that she should be killed rather than kill her themselves. At one point Seness decides to {{spoiler|exploit this trait by attacking Pacifica herself}} in a battle with a Peacemaker.
*** {{spoiler|Possibly being a genetic near-clone of the human savant placed in charge of the Peacemakers is another possibility; could be she registers as "in charge" to them.}}
* [[Floating Continent]]
* [[Sleep Mode Size]]: Cz is first introduced as a small orphan girl who appears to have [[No Social Skills]]. When she returns later {{spoiler|in her true form as a Peacemaker}}, she appears as a fully-grown woman, much to Shannon's dismay.
* [[Sorry I Fell on Your Fist]]: Pacifica does this constantly.
* [[Spaceship Girl]]: Natalie.
** The "girl" part is [[Lampshaded]] by Zefiris, who is of the same model. She says she's not the one who came up with this look, thereby implying the [[Invoked Trope|invocation of the trope]] by their creators.
