History Manga / LoveAfterWorldDomination

* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: The Gelato 5's most powerful weapon is the Gelato Claymore, a sword which is made by combining all of the Gelato 5's unique weapons, including the ''weight'' of each weapon. So after it's formed, Red can barely lift it, let alone use it.

** However, ''because'' the Gelato 5's identities are publicly known, as far as Desumi's family are concerned she's dating a Gekko footsoldier called 'Mudo'.

* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: Gelato 5's most powerful weapon being the Gelato Claymore, a sword which is made by combining all of the Gelato 5's unique weapons, including the ''weight'' of each weapon. So after its formed, Red can barely lift it, let alone use it.

** Fudo and his mother are a gender-inverted example; he's tall, handsome and well-built, while his mother has a cartoony, square-shaced face and a short, chubby physique. Still, they do share a passing resemblance.

* AdvertisedExtra: The first anime opening gives the other members of the Gelato 5 as much focus as Fudo and way more than Desumi, despite the fact that they're pretty much supporting characters at best. [[spoiler:Haru/Pink Gelato gets more spotlight once she becomes Fudo and Desumi's SecretKeeper]].

* AntiVillain: Desumi is a NiceGirl that only joined because her parents signed her up for the job interview ''without telling her'' and aced it to the point of automatically being made a Princess. Strangely, despite their stated goal of world domination, this can apply to some degree for all the members of Gekko who get along with each other and are quite AffablyEvil.

* CrackShip: InUniverse when Fudou and Desumi use their hero and villain identities respectively at the school festival. Everyone questions why a couple would dress that way and think it’s ridiculous to think Red Gelato and Reaper Princess could be a couple.

* {{Homage}}: The entire thing is a parody of the ''Franchise/SuperSentai'' franchise, down to giving the team the same [[ColorCharacter color]] and number assignments as [[Series/HimitsuSentaiGoranger the one that started it all]]. Gekko are also an obvious homage to SHOCKER, the first villain group from ''Franchise/KamenRider''.

* YouDidntAsk: Quite a few of the beastified generals express anger at how it turns out a general can ''decline'' the process to be transformed after Desumi does so, with them originally believing [[AnOfferYouCantRefuse saying no wasn't an answer]] until then, so the option actually existing makes them pissed how that wasn't mentioned ''alongside'' the beastification offer.

* AntiMentor: Fudo and Desumi are genuinely smart, but they have such [[GeniusDitz unique ways to solve math problems]](muscle analogies for Fudo and replacing the proper terms and process with cutesy gibberish for Desumi) that Haru finds being tutored by them to be completely worthless.

* UglyGuyHotWife: Desumi's parents when they were younger; her mother had a [[StrongFamilyResemblance striking resemblance]] to Desumi, while her father was short, pudgy, and starting to lose his hair.

* AntiMentor: Fudo and Desumi are genuinely smart, but they have such [[GeniusDitz unique ways to solving math problems]](muscle analogies for Fudo and replacing the proper terms and process with cutesy gibberish for Desumi) that Haru finds being tutored by them to be completely worthless.

* RefugeInAudacity: At the school festival Fudo and Desumi want to go at a famous love spot and have their picture taken, but they need to not be recognized... So they go in ''full Red Gelato and Reaper Princess get-up'' and are mistaken for some cosplayers who like crack ships.

* TeensAreMonsters: Seemingly all of Gekko's Princess series are teenage girls who attend the same high school, though it's subverted in that the Princesses shown thus far are pure PunchClockVillains.

* AllGirlsWantBadBoys: Inverted, Desumi is a villainess but she falls for the virtuous Fudou. This trope can also be played with and gender-inverted with Fudou, the hero who loves Desumi, although Desumi herself isn't a bad person.
** Gender-flipped (albeit unknowingly) with Hayato/Blue Gelato and Kiki/Beast Princess, as there's at least three chapters with him trying to woo her now, although despite her attitude toward him he's ''not'' aware of her identity.

* {{Cliffhanger}}: Episode 8 ends with Desumi checking who's at her dorm door, thinking it's Haru, only to see [[spoiler: her father and younger sister at the door. [[OhCrap And Fudo's in the room with her.]]]]
** The end of the manga's fourth volume has Fudo and Desumi visiting her hometown, only to run into her family; her father promptly insists that she and 'Mudo' stay overnight at the family home.

* IWasQuiteTheLooker: Subverted. Fudou's mother says she used to be a looker in Episode 5's [[TheStinger stinger]], showing Desumi a photo of her and Fudou when he was a child, but the only thing that's visibly changed between then and now is her hairstyle.

* SecretIdentity: The Gelato 5 avert this, with their civilian identities being publicly known. Gekko's Princesses, however, play it straight, hiding their civilian identities.

** Desumi and her sister are very cute compared to their fat, balding father.

* AbusiveParents: Desumi's father was a former member of Gekko who signed up his daughter without asking her and pressures her to go full-time at the organization instead of university. While he's LaughablyEvil and claims to love Desumi, it's clear he [[VicariouslyAmbitious treats his daughter as a second chance at greatness]] since he never made it past a grunt while she's already a Princess.

* {{Kayfabe}}: Desumi and Fudo engage in this to keep theur relationship secret, faking fights with each other.

* WhamShot: Episode 8 ends with Desumi checking who's at her dorm door, thinking it's Haru, only to see [[spoiler: her father and younger sister at the door. [[OhCrap And Fudo's in the room with her.]]]]

* {{Ksayfabe}}: Desumi and Fudo engage in this to keep theur relationship secret, faking fights with each other.

* BeachEpisode: Chapter 11 sees the Gelato 5 heading to the beach, and the Gekko troops heading after them.

* TeensAreMonsters: Seemingly all of Gekko's Princesses are teenage girls who happen to go to the same high school, though it's subverted in that the Princesses shown thus far are pure PunchClockVillains.
