* NiceJobBreakingItHero: The reason why the Roboworld government doesn't want the race to happen on their planet [[spoiler: aside from having all their illegal arms building programs and labratories exposed]] is because they're afraid the commotion caused by the racers [[spoiler: will wake up a [[EldritchAbomination Cthulhu-esque]] [[HighOctaneNightmareFuel bio-weapon]] that they've created in said illegal research program. Guess what happens.(its gori riders fault!!)]]

-->'''Miki and Todoroki:''' GORI-RIDER, MOTHERF-[[ThisTropeIsBleep *BEEP*]]

** Johnny Boy and Lynchman's car is the [[{{Batman}} Batmobile]] taken UpToEleven. And Johnny Boy is [[BeavisAndButthead Beavis]], down to the voice.

* FastTunnelling: Due to the design of their vehicle, Miki and Todoroki were able to ''get into the lead'' while tunneling under a minefield.

* KillSat: Roboworld has one, and they use it twice: the first attempt, targeting the Supergrass ship carrying the REDLINE racers, fails thanks to Lynchman and Johnny-Boy sabotaging the cannons. The second attempt manages to destroy Funky Boy: however, [[spoiler:it regenerates]].

* WorkOffTheDebt: A much darker version. [[spoiler: JP's friend Frisbee got involved with some mafia types and JP consequently lost a race; as a result both Frisbee and JP had to work the debt off by fixing races (JP would hang back in last place until the final lap, shoot up to pole postion and then lose, though JP never exactly tried to follow the last part of the deal, causing Frisbee to make him lose by sabotaging his car).

Waking up in hospital with an arm and a leg in casts and his dreams in tatters, JP is shocked to find he has in fact made the grade. It turns out the venue has been announced – and it's the fascistic, authoritarian military superpower state of Roboworld, who aren't exactly pleased about their world being used as an impromptu racetrack and make it perfectly clear that they intend to stop the racers with extreme prejudice before the starting flag has even been dropped. As a result, two racers have already dropped out, and JP (through a popularity contest) is voted in.

-->'''Miki and Todoroki:''' GORI-RIDER, MOTHERF-[[ThisTropeIsBleep BEEP]]

* DerangedAnimation: Think of a more realistic ''{{Dead Leaves}}''.

* DoingItForTheArt: This is animation for the sake of animation.
** It took 7 consecutive years to make the damn movie, after all.

* {{Expy}}: Most of the other racers and characters are imported from previous Takeshi Koike / Katsuhito Ishii productions (e.g. Miki and Todoroki are from ''TheMoleBrothers'', and Trava and Shinkai were from a four part series called ''Trava:Fist planet'')
** Johnny Boy and Lynchmans car is the Batmobile taken UpToEleven.
*** And Johnny Boy is [[BeavisAndButthead Beavis]], down to the voice.

* FastTunnelling: Due to the design of their vehicle Miki and Todoroki were able to ''get into the lead'' while tunneling under a minefield.

* HoodOrnamentHottie: When they're not actively racing Bosbos and Boiboi pose and preen so much that it's almost ridiculous.

* KillSat

* LoveableRogue: JP .

* MomentKiller: The page picture was heading in the direction of an AlmostKiss. Until another racer decided to step in.

* NakedInMink: SUPERBOINS bosbos and boiboi are dressed like this ''during a televised interview''.

* NitroBoost: Several different types, with varying colors, strength -- and, of course, damage to the car using it

* SchizoTech: Apparently V8's and chopper style bikes will remain popular in the future.

* {{Transhuman}}: Old-fashioned humans are in the minority. Roboworld is full of cyborgs, and, well, there are people with dog heads, or extra arms, and all sorts of nonhuman attributes, but it's not explained if they're transhumans or aliens.

* WhatDoYouMeanItsNotAwesome: JP inadvertently ''rock-skipping his car across an entire lake'' while its spinning on its own axis.
** '''Rocket-powered, ''jet-propelled''''' rock-skipping, that is.

** ''InitialD'' meets ''FLCL.''
