History Manga / SilentMobius

* FantasticDrug: One episode/chapter focuses on a drug called Domel, a performance enhancer with [[BodyHorror terrible side-effects]]. [[spoiler: It's based on the [[MainliningTheMonster bodily fluids of a captive Lucifer Hawk]].]]

* MainliningTheMonster: Domel, the mutagenic performance enhancer drug from the FantasticDrug entry, is based on Lucifer Hawk bodily fluids. It has the unfortunate side effect of mutating users into monsters and then melting down when their bodies are no longer able to withstand the changes.

''Silent Mobius'' started in 1991 as a manga by Kia Asamiya, and was later adapted into two movies (by Creator/{{AIC}}) and a 26-episode TV series (by {{Creator/Radix}}). The setting is heavily influenced by ''Film/BladeRunner'' and many exterior shots have an uncanny resemblance to shots from ''Anime/BubblegumCrisis''.

* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Katsumi (Blue), Nami (purple), Kiddy (Green in most versions, but a redhead in the TV series), and several others

* HalfHumanHybrid[=/=]HumanMomNonhumanDad: [[spoiler: Rally and Rosa Cheyenne are half-Lucifer Hawk, while Katsumi (in the anime at least) has some distant ancestry among the Lucifer Hawk on at least her dad's side.]]

* OvertookTheManga: The TV series ending just says that the final battle has begun.

%% * AncestralWeapon: Grospoliner, Jesso, and Nami's weapons

%% * {{BFG}}: Kiddy uses one at the end of the manga. Her usual weapon is the [[HandCannon Graviton.]]

%% * EmpathicWeapon: Grospoliner, Gesso, and the evil Medium (which [[DemonicPossession takes over]] anyone who wields it).
%% * EvilWeapon: Medium

%% * FlyingCar: The AMP Spinners and Rally's limo.

%% * GenreMashup: UrbanFantasy meets CyberPunk.

%% * HealingFactor: High-level Lucifer Hawk heal very quickly from just about anything.

%% * HeroicBSOD: Katsumi, repeatedly, in the films and TV series.

%% * NumberTwo: Mana Isozaki to Rally Cheyenne.

%% * StableTimeLoop: How Yuki met her love interest and got a great deal on her apartment
%% * {{Technopath}}: Lebia's main ability, with sufficient backup equipment.

%% * AmazonBrigade

%% * BigBad: Ganossa Maximillian

%% * BrainwashedAndCrazy: Katsumi, when possessed by an evil sword.

%% * CainAndAbel: Rally Cheyenne and her sister Rosa.

%% * CoolShip: The Simurgh command vessel.

** In an interesting twist to this trope, this is also the prime reason the Lucifer Hawks were so eager to open a portal into Earth. It is implied their world is decaying too, in particular foodsource is dying out and this is the catyclist for the series' conflicts.

* FunctionalMagic: Hermetic magic , UsefulNotes/{{Onmyodo}}, something or other based on Buddhist mysticism, Chinese elemental magic, maybe a couple other types. The effects are usually the same: flashy lights and a big explosion.

%% * GratuitousEnglish: Attacked. Mystification. Police.
* HalfHumanHybrid with HumanMomNonhumanDad: [[spoiler: Rally and Rosa Cheyenne are half-Lucifer Hawk, while Katsumi (in the anime at least) has some distant ancestry among the Lucifer Hawk on at least her dad's side.]]

%% * KillSat: [[spoiler: Lebia's satellite Donald]]

* {{Omake}}: Volume 8 of the manga has some funny [[{{Yonkoma}} 4-panel strips]], including Lebia trying to convince Kiddy to cosplay as Franchise/RoboCop.

%% * PoweredArmor: Mobile Police officers use these, usually for riot patrol. Sadly ineffective against Lucifer Hawks.
%% * ProHumanTranshuman
%% * PsychicPowers: Yuki's schtick, along with a couple other characters.

* RefusalOfTheCall: Less refusal, and more "flight from" in Katsumi's case. Pretty much every time she learns something bad about her family history, she has a HeroicBSOD, usually paired with an outright Flight from the Call, generally to the outskirts of town.
* SacrificialLion: Roy,[[spoiler:after he and Katsumi consummated their love, gets killed by Ganossa.]]

* SensibleHeroesSkimpyVillains: Rosa's {{Stripperific}} outfits. [[spoiler: Katsumi gets one after her FaceHeelTurn as an EvilCostumeSwitch]]

* ShowerScene, combined with ShowerOfAngst: Katsumi in the first movie, coming to grips with the existence of monsters and magic. [[spoiler: And then monsters pour out of the showerhead and try to eat her.]]
%% * SpaceElevator: Spiras, whose main role in the plot is to get blown to pieces.

The year is 2026. Tokyo is under attack from the Lucifer Hawks, alien life-forms that feed on human flesh. The Attacked Mystification Police (Abnormal Mystery Police in one volume of the manga), or AMP, an all-female squad of police officers is tasked with hunting and destroying the Lucifer Hawks, led by [[BigBad Ganossa Maximillian]], the man who sabotaged Project Gaia.

The AMP uses a mix of magic and high-tech gadgets to fight these monsters and their human allies. Along the way, some of them find love. And they find out most of the truth behind the Project Gaia disaster in 1999 that first opened the gate to the world of Nemesis and unleashed the Lucifer Hawks on Earth. Let's just say that just about all of them had parents, grandparents, or other close people involved in the screwup.
