* RobotBuddy: The main use for robots in the series, culminating in the gen 3 models who are so realistic, they're basically indistinguishable from regular people. This is also a major part of why they have a habit of turning sentient, since this puts them in the middle of human society, where they experience their masters emotions first hand.

Meganekko is no longer a trope. It's a Fanspeak term. Moving wicks to Bespectacled Cutie when appropriate.


* {{Meganekko}}: 21st century human Qiqi is this, most likely as a side effect of her disease.

No longer a trope.


* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Qiqi's robotic body has exactly this. While her human body is never shown in color, the fact that her robotic one is an otherwise perfect physical replica seems to imply that this trope applied to her 21st century self, as well. Freyer's hair on the other hand is pink.

Fingerless Gloves is no longer a trope; cleanup


* FingerlessGloves: Qiqi/Executioner 03's combat form has these. They are also present in some of Qiqi's civilian outfits.

* MasterOfDisguise: By using his disguise suit, Chen can physically imitate basically anyone that's not smaller than he is. Plus, he's also a phenomenal actor who can so perfectly slip into a role, he basically becomes the person he's disguised as. Averted hard by Qiqi who's idea of a disguise was to put a sheet over herself, then poke her head through the cloth in order to see.

In reality though, he mainly uses it to perv on Qiqi, peep on people and commit grievous amounts of mischief. While it normally only affects him, he can also extend it to anything he's in physical contact with.

* {{Doppelganger}}: Many show up throughout the series, though justified in that they are entirely robotic in nature. One of the more notable and weird examples is the protagonist Qiqi/Executioner 03. Notable in that Qiqi is a human who died in 2010, only to reawaken in 3070, inside a robotic body that is a carbon copy of her old human self. As volume 2 shows, there are a minimum of 3 Executioner 03's in existence. The first is the one Qiqi takes over at the start of the series, the second is a backup body that Qiqi eventually hijacks as well and the third is a very powerful enemy from the future, which actually triggers the {{stable time loop}} that puts the events of series in motion in the first place. Weird in that Executioner 03 is a carbon copy of the original, human, Qiqi, despite the fact that the latter died in 2010, while the former was created sometime in the 3070's. It is never shown that anyone intended for Executioner 03 to look like Qiqi and it's never explained if this is a coincidence or not.

* AnArmAndALeg: Despite being a 3rd gen Executioner class robot, supposedly made out of the toughest and rarest materials known to man, Qiqi loses body parts like nobody's business. Almost every fight will end with Qiqi losing one or both arms, one or both legs, half or more of her body, parts of her face, be outright split in half, or some variation of the above. Most of these are a result of combat, but at one point, Qiqi intentionally tore off one of her arms, in order to expose circuitry that she could then use to deplete the power cell of the otherwise invincible machine fortress, on its way to commit genocide on the neighboring human population.

This also seems to happen with depressing regularity to the regular humans as well, though thankfully medicine has advanced enough that this isn't a problem to them either.

* StableTimeLoop: The whole of volume 2 is this, showing that Chen from 3074 went back in time to 2010 to recover Qiqi's soul, then was forced to put it into Executioner 03 in 3073, whereupon Qiqi from 3073 then goes back in time to 3072 where she meets an earlier version of Chen who she then inspires to remake Team E, which is ultimately what drives him to travel back in time from 3074 to 2010 to recover Qiqi's soul.

* NoSell: Some weird examples with Qiqi where this is repeatedly played straight and then immediately averted. In volume one, when Chen tries to back up her consciousness, following her mutually destructive battle with the machine fortress, he fails despite the backup itself succeeding. At the time this is chalked up to the fact that you can't back up a soul and yet, just a few pages later, Qiqi is now in a 3rd gen robot body, carrying the lifeless Executioner 03 back to base. In volume two, Qiqi is infected by a control virus which has no effect on her, ostensibly because you can't virus a soul, but right after that, Executioner 02 uses software to take over her body, something which is shown that she can't resist.

Other examples are anti human resistance leader Goldman tanking repeated hits from Qiqi's killsats without a scratch or Miss Maid harmlessly tanking a direct hit from Qiqi's Pentagonal Pyramid Death Ray.

* BodySnatcher: Qiqi is this to Executioner 03. The series starts with human Qiqi dying in 2010, then walking up in 3073 in Executioner 03's robotic body. It's not intentional on human Qiqi's part and she doesn't seem to be able to do anything about this. What makes this trope apply is the fact that, as is later shown, Executioner 03's original non sentient self is still inside her body. Averted with the sentient robot soul cores, as those are {{grand theft me}} instead.
