* BackFromTheDead: It is implied, but ultimately left ambiguous, that Secret Sanders is actually an amnesiac Dominique Royal, reincarnated somehow. ''Over the Rainbow'' was intended to reveal whether Secret is indeed Dominique or not, however it would be permanently left up in the air, however, due to series creator, Buichi Terasawa, tragically passing away before he could be able to finish writing the comic.

* ForgottenFallenFriend: Strangely, when Cobra confronts the real Salamander in the manga version, avenging Dominique has little to do with anything anymore and he's already flirting with Mirale at the time. Dominique's death ''is'' shown to still affect him in a few later stories, though.

* ForgottenFallenFriend: ForgottenFallenFriend:
** Cobra pretty much forgets about Jane and Catherine after they die, particularly in the manga version, since he barely knew them. Only "The Psychogun" has a nightmare sequence where he has a vision of Crystal Bowie killing the three Royal sisters before him, showing how he still regrets failing them.

* DamselInDistress: After Ophelia has sex with Cobra, Black Sword Zero barges in and kidnaps her. Cobra is forced into several gimmicky situations and battles until he saves Ophelia, and unlike most of the previous love interests she survives the story just fine.

** The also nude Saboira just falls off into the far distance when Cobra kills her atop a train, but the ''Cobra - Kokuryo's Legend'' adaptation of her appearance does show her sprawled on the ground until she turns gray and cold.

* DropDeadGorgeous:
** Ursula is blasted onto a pile of debris and is left half-dead with unblinking eyes. She's next seen naked on a surgery table, with her uncensored breasts protuding into one of the page's panels, as Crystal Bowie revives her. Later, Cobra shoots Ursula down with a laser beam to the chest, [[InterplayOfSexAndViolence sending her flying with legs spread apart, her butt prominently framed on the page]], before she collapses with her bra almost snapped open. After this her entire body is roboticized, so the author doesn't bother with sexualizing her third and final death.
** After haughtily mocking Cobra for underestimating women, the scantily-clad Gavara is killed while holding a bent over pose with her butt pointed upwards. Cobra then drops a BondOneLiner to further undignify her death, saying he'll "watch out for the pretty ones".



* {{Stripperiffic}}: Gavara's outfit leaves little to the imagination, while in contrast Ursula is a very rare example of a female character in the series who wears a proper full costume.
