* PrincessCurls: Misao Nanjo.

* AwesomeMcCoolName: Two Words: Tsurugi Inugami. He's got a cool name, but is he a badass? Not really.

* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: Two words: [[EveryJapaneseSwordIsAKatana Tsurugi]]. [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inugami Inugami]].

* GuiseWillBeGuise

* LesYay: Done quite a few times. One including Behoimi and Media moving around behind a curtain with some rather suggestive dialogue [[spoiler: while they disarm a bomb.]] Also in episode 15, where Becky tells Sayaka to do something to keep Himeko from jumping out the back of a bus teetering on the edge of a cliff (long story) and her answer to the problem is...well, [[http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v622/super_llama/paniponiyuri_wut.jpg this.]]
** Again with Behoimi and Media in the final episode when they swap outfits, and Behoimi admits she's a little turned on when Media shows it off.
** Don't forget how much Himeko cuddles Becky.
** Despite Sayaka teasing with Himeko and Miyako in episodes 15 and 17, respectively, there's actually more subtext between her and Kurumi. They even tease each other every once in a while (Kurumi usually becomes a DeadpanSnarker when it comes to Sayaka's naiveness and Sayaka even teases ''her'', too).
*** Someone must have caught attention of this, because [[spoiler: Kurumi and Sayaka are ''HappilyMarried to each other'' in their Twitter accounts, and they don't just love each other, it goes to TastesLikeDiabetes levels of lovey-doveyness.]]

* CatchPhrase: Himeko's 'Maho' is as much this as it is a VerbalTic. Also, Number 6's "X of the year".

* CharacterBlog: The most notable PPD Twitter accounts include Becky, Kurumi, #6 (Sayaka), Otome, Nanjo, Hibiki and Media.

** SixthRanger: Ichijou

* WrestlerInAllOfUs: Number 6 does an Argentine Backbreaker in the dreamworld. Everyone else present is rather unimpressed that this was the most fantastic special attack she could think of, since they were shooting forehead lasers and [[ChestBlaster boob missiles]].

* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: There are at least three:
** Serizawa and Kuruzu fits the trope the most.
** [[spoiler:Behoimi and Media]]. Not so much, but [[spoiler:Behoimi]] is not that very girly [[spoiler:after quitting being a MagicalGirl]] anyway.
*** Also consider [[spoiler:[[MagicalGirl Behoimi]] and [[{{Meganekko}} Behoimi]]]].
** Otome and Suzune

* IllKillYou / IneffectualDeathThreats: A running gag that is more noticeable in the english dub version. Becky's line below is a small example.

** In the OVA, there's a BlinkAndYoullMissIt scene that shows one of the twins cosplaying as [[SoulEater Maka]].

* FiveManBand: The 1-C class

** Kinda, for Akane Serizawa. She's voiced by Miyuki Sawashiro, the VA of [[GalaxyAngel Mint Blancmanche]]. Both characters are obsessed with mascot costumes.

That's just the beginning. Rebecca's class consists of six students and several cloned extras, and she also has to deal with the general mayhem that ensues at Momotsuki Academy. Did we mention that she's accompanied by a mopey, luckless rabbit named Mesousa, and is being monitored by aliens? Then there's the strange cat-like creature who claims to be a god, likes to hide in vending machines and keep the sodas warmed-over with his body heat, and seems to be following Rebecca and her class....

* AllStarCast: ''Both versions''.

* IllKillYou/IneffectualDeathThreat: MANY. A running gag, even. Becky's line below is a small example.

*** She was seen almost choking Kurumi on the 9th epsiode, however.

* TheLinus: Becky.
