She seems to hold a position of authority that is on par with Satsuki's, and regularly accompanies Ragyo, and even speaks on friendly terms with her. In a world where AsskickingLeadsToLeadership and AuthorityGrantsAsskicking, it is safe to assume that she is at least somewhat competent in a fight, and that it is entirely possible that her clothing contains Life Fibers that augment her skills substantially.

* Alternately, after Ryuko defeats Satsuki, [[DefeatMeansFriendship Satsuki]] will [[IFightForTheStrongestSide place Ryuko in charge]]. Satsuki believes firmly in AsskickingEqualsAuthority; clearly if Ryuko defeats her, Ryuko is more qualified to be StudentCouncilPresident. Her philosophy and ideals will then remain completely unchanged, so she settles in as the TokenEvilTeammate.

Ragyo used to be a sweet, but very IllGirl who didn't have long to live and depreciated herself because of it. But she met someone who was her ideal man and he loved her very much. He would eventually become Ragyo's lover and Satsuki's and Ryuko's father.

Up To Eleven is a defunct trope


While Kill laKill is known for flaunting it's disregard of anything even remotely resembling the laws of physics, Mako takes this UpToEleven with her absolutely bizzare antics. Alsom she never seems to worry about being killed, such as how when she was about to be boiled in oil she was worried about her clothes becoming see-through, or how she was worried about her stomach being sliced open and her lunch falling out. She also seems to have no concerns about dropping in to extremely dangerous situations, like the Ryuko vs Satsuki fight in episode three, or sitting next to pissed-off Elite Four members. All of these things suggest that Mako is not human, but something much more.

It's mentioned that the student council get away with their actions because of her mother being the school chairwoman. In the end either Satsuki will have HeelFaceTurn or, more likely be defeated and shown to be [[DaddysLittleVillain Mummy's Little Villain]] causing the chairwoman to show up as the [[ManBehindTheMan woman behind the girl]].

Now, Ragyo would've likely been a nasty, cold, manipulative bitch even without that (remember how Saren was a humongous racist jerk long before Sovereign got its tentacles on him), but the PLF's Indoctrinating effect would have turned her and her closest minions towards wanting to carry out its plans and come to borderline-worship it (remember some of her lines, like after Satsuki accidentally steps on the PLF and Ragyo viciously kicks her away, and after [[SuperMode SuperSaiyan!Ryuuko]] tries to cut her Final Form and Ragyo claims Ryuuko has sinned by drawing her blade on the 'divine' robe). Ragyo would've basically played a role that was a cross between Saren and Dr. Kenson (remember the latter's crazed lines about "the Reapers' divine blessing" and such). And, of course, [[TheScrappy Nui]] [[HateSink was]] [[SmugSnake Kai]] [[PsychoForHire Leng]].

Ragyo became more confident about herself and did everything she couldn't do before. She became a perfectionist so she could be a perfect match to her lover. However, Ragyo noticed he was trying to [[StepfordSmiler hide his sadness]] [[YourDaysAreNumbered of the truth of his life.]]

She just hasn't 'activated' yet. It was mentioned that she was experimented on as an infant, much like Ryuko, but was considered a 'failure', while Ryuko was a 'success'. However, it seems to be that the way Life-Fiber hybrids are 'activated' is by suffering a mortal wound, notably Ryuko when she was a new-born. Ergo, Satsuki hasn't suffered such an injury, thus her internal Life-Fibers are still dormant. At some point during the final battle, she will get such an injury (likely TakingTheBullet for Ryuko) and her Life-Fibers will activate, likely gaining a Blue SkunkStripe and being able to hear Junketsu.

Romantic Two Girl Friendship has been renamed to Pseudo Romantic Friendship. All misuse and ZC Es will be deleted and all other examples will be changed to the correct trope.


Bear with me here. What is the deepest desire held by both Ryuko and Mako? [[IJustWantToBeNormal To live a normal life.]] That's why they were both so happy to find a friend in each other, why Mako took so quickly to the Three-Star lifestyle and rejected it just as quick when she realized its pressures, and why Ragyo's MindRape was so effective on Ryuko. Now, in wider Japanese culture, what is the normalized state of close relationships between women? Not lesbianism, to be sure, but for them to outgrow such feelings and move on to dating men -- in other words, a RomanticTwoGirlFriendship. And that is exactly what both of them think their relationship is. In addition, what was the sole experience with intimacy between women Ryuko had before Mako asked her on a date? Ragyo's abuse. After something like that, which would heavily color her perception of WLW relationships, I doubt she'd be too quick to consider that her feelings for Mako might be anything other than platonic.

[[WMG: At one point in development, Ragyo Kiryuin, Nui Harime and Ryuko were going to be similar to [[OurVampiresAreDifferent Vampires.]]]]
One thing that's very consistent is that Life Fibers, and especially Kamui need to suck blood to function and survive. It only makes sense to this troper that hybrids like those listed above would need have need of the essence too. How it would work is that obviously it's their own blood that keeps them alive but they would need to ingest some exterior blood to increase or maintain their powers. My brilliant theory is that back when KLK was on the drawing board the idea was tossed around but was probably cut because it would over complicate the story or something.
