History WesternAnimation / CyberSix

** Pretty much any trick that Julian has shown at the beginning of the episode he will use later.

* AdaptaionalWimp: In the comic, Fixed Ideas are almost too much for Cybersix, so she avoids them when possible (in the first comic, a Techno gives her considerable trouble). In the show, they go down with a few punches, with even regular human Lucas being able to take them on, and both Fixed Ideas and Technos evaporate into a pile of clothes and a vial of Sustenance when killed or electrocuted, presumably because in the comics, Cybersix bites into their neck to obtain Sustenance, which was probably deemed unsuitable for a [=Y7=] audience.

* AdaptationalBadass: While certainly no slouch in the comic, Cybersix notes she is unable to attack a Fixed Idea and tries to avoid them when possible. Here, she attacks them with almost impunity. It helps that, unlike in the comics, whenever a Techno of Fixed Idea is defeated in the cartoon, they turn into a pile of clothes and a vial of Sustenance.

* BadassNormal: Lucas would probably count. He can't do too much against the various monsters that attack, but he's still able to tackle a Fixed Idea that he found strangling Cybersix and has helped in various other ways (along with having no qualms about rushing into dangerous situations to help). He can order Data 7 around; now, ''that's'' badass.
** Don't forget Yashimoto, who's able to keep up with Cybersix's rooftop escapades and hold off two Fixed Ideas (although he really didn't beat them).

Despite its gorgeous animation, a likable and interesting plot and characters, the show only had 13 episodes, and did not receive a DVD release until almost 15 years after it aired. Luckily, it's 13 episodes form one continuous StoryArc, and it ends satisfyingly. For years, it aired irregularly in Canada and France, so other viewers have largely had to depend on the kind souls that KeepCirculatingTheTapes on Website/YouTube. The English version went live on Hulu in 2013 (it is not currently legally streaming anywhere), and it finally received a DVD release in late 2014 thanks to Creator/DiscotekMedia.

* LeeroyJenkins: By the end of the first episode it becomes fairly apparent that Von Richter will never be able to create a monster scary enough that Lucas won't try to fight it head-on. By the third episode Cybersix resorts to having Data 7 guard Lucas in his apartment to try to keep him out of harm's way. The man does not seem to even have the concept of a survival instinct. Fortunately he's a bit more badass than most Leeroys.

** Should be noted that despite averting this for the most part, Cybersix has tried to save and/or shown remorse for Von Reichter's creations that seemed to display emotions, because she sees herself in them. She tried to save Terra and Griselda before they both sacrificed themselves for her sake, and she was remorseful about Elaine's death too.

* ThouShaltNotKill: Generally averted. Data 7 destroys a giant humanoid bird by throwing it into an electrified transmission tower, Yashimoto poisons a giant squid-like monster with toxic gas grenades and then Cybersix crushes it under a giant folding bridge, Cybersix and Data 7 expose the flying goblins to sunlight, and Cybersix and Data 7 eventually kill the werewolf monster that infected Lucas.
** And, in order for Cybersix to gain Sustenance, she needs to kill Von Reichter's creations, with Fixed Ideas being the easiest prey.
** Incidentally, in the much grittier comic, she avoids killing those she takes Sustenance from, even though she has no empathy for them.

* AllAnimalsAreDogs: Data 7 acts more like a dog than the jaguar he is.

* UglyGuyHotWife: Cybersix is rather attractive as both a man and a woman. Lucas is a blonde shaven gorilla. He does get better as the series goes on, though, and his personality and loyalty are his most attractive features.

* ShoutOut: One of the robotic animals in the Circus is [[WizardOfOz a flying monkey]].

* AdaptationDyeJob: In the original comics, Lori is stated to be a blonde, whereas her hair is red in the cartoon.
* AdorablyPrecociousChild: Julian.

* BadassNormal: Lucas would probably count. He can't do too much against the various monsters that attack, but he's still able to tackle a Fixed Idea that he found strangling Cybersix and has helped in various other ways (along with having no qualms about rushing into dangerous situations to help). He can order Data7 around; now, ''that's'' badass.

* CoolTeacher: Lucas. He's bdass enough to intimidate the worst delinquents at his (pretty tough) school, easygoing enough to laugh at himself and joke with the students, conductor of fun science experiments in the classroom and he genuinely likes his pupils, bonkers though they may be. Interestingly, he's one of the few teachers in the media we see preparing for class, setting up lessons and adhering to health and safety regulations (in the liquid nitrogen/Giant Flying Eye episode).

* EmbarrassingSlide: Provides the only bit of background the audience got on Lucas: that he was once an anorexic boxer.

* EverythingFades: The show used with some odd videogame references that are almost certainly unintentional. When defeated, the Fixed Ideas evaporate, leaving behind a pile of clothes & a "Sustenance" vial (what actually keeps them alive). What makes this weirdly video-game like? The vial they drop is something Cybersix desperately needs to stay alive. It's literally a health power-up for Cybersix.

** In the series finale, Von Reicter releases all of his created monsters from their tanks to attack Cybersix... but they promptly attack ''him'' instead, buying her time to escape.

* LeeroyJenkins: By the end of the first episode it becomes fairly apparent that Von Richter will never be able to create a monster scary enough that Lucas won't try to fight it head-on. By the third episode Cybersix resorts to having Data Seven guard Lucas in his apartment to try to keep him out of harm's way. The man does not seem to even have the concept of a survival instinct. Fortunately he's a bit more badass than most Leeroys.

* LightningBruiser Both Cybersix and Data7. Lucas is pretty agile too for such a big guy.

* MinionWithAnFInEvil: The Fixed Ideas. They are simply dumb muscles following commands, when not following commands they are usually just looking at the things as if a child does.

* ProHumanTranshuman: Cybersix was created to be a Nazi style Ubermensch, but steadfastly defends humanity against Von Richter.

** Pretty much any trick that Jillian has shown at the beginning of the episode he will use later.

* AllAnimalsAreDogs: Data 7 acts rather dog-like for a jaguar.

* WholePlotReference: "Bluebirds of Horror" is pretty much ''Cybersix'' meets ''TheBirds''.

* FeatheredFiend: ''Blue Birds Of Horror'' (complete with homages bordering on gratuitous to the TheBirds)

* CoolTeacher: Lucas. He's {{Badass}} enough to intimidate the worst delinquents at his (pretty tough) school, easygoing enough to laugh at himself and joke with the students, conductor of fun science experiments in the classroom and he genuinely likes his pupils, bonkers though they may be.

* FreezeFrameBonus: The DVD release makes it possible to see Adrian's [[http://imgur.com/mt0cCOk school file]] that Lori happens upon in episode five. The file gives Adrian previous employment at stereotypically Canadian high schools (along with a literature BA from [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Okanagan_University Okanagan University]]), locates Meridiana in "SBC" with a Canadian-style postcode, and states that unauthorized access to the file by students can be penalized by [[CoolAndUnusualPunishment having one's GPA posted in the cafeteria or]] [[ShamefulStrip having to dance naked at the prom]].

** Surprisingly, Cybersix's "Adrian" persona is ''not'' a CoolTeacher. While extremely academic and clearly fond of his subject, he's pretty dry, has little tolerance for antics, and meets Lucas when certain students ambush him for turning down Lori's attentions. No doubt he'd be promoted to CoolTeacher if the students realised what "Adrian" was up to in his free time...

By night, Cybersix is a female superhero dressed in leather fighting the creations of her own MadScientist creator, and putting to rest the bizarre schemes of his son. By day, [[SweetPollyOliver "Adrian"]], a [[{{Bifauxnen}} male]] high school literature teacher, fending off one of 'his' amorous students and trying to hide her SecretIdentity from her best friend and love interest, Lucas. With him, her black panther SideKick Data 7, and street urchin Julian, Cybersix defends the city of Meridiana while fighting monsters for the sustenance she needs to survive.

* AllThereInTheManual: There are certain things that you have to research or read the comic book to understand: where Cybersix got her costume, how she escaped from Von Reichter, and other BackStory things. It also helps if you want to understand exactly ''what'' the Cybers are and how Von Reichter created them, as well as the Technos, Fixed Ideas, and other creatures mentioned on the show.
