Zero Context Example. If you want to discuss von Reichter possibly qualifying, visit the cleanup thread.


* CompleteMonster: Dr von Reichter. When describing why he had to destroy the Cybers, we're treated to a shot of a Fixed Idea forcing a nine-year-old Cyber into a ''meat grinder''. ''Alive''. ''Feet first''.

* MexicansLoveSpeedyGonzales: While having a character who is a ''giant'' Japanese racist stereotype. How does it do this? It takes a guy with extremely squinty eyes, glasses, and buckteeth who knows kung fu and whose {{Leitmotif}} is done with a Japanese instrument... and it makes him a [[{{Batman}} brilliant detective with a grappling hook, lots and lots of ingenious technology]], and the most insane biking skills in the world. His little sister, sharing the teeth and eyes, drove it even further by being dressed in a kimono the entire time. She was adorable, though, and was able to keep her cool while [[spoiler:having been kidnapped, impressive considering that she looked pretty young]]. In the show's defense, however, this was an episode that was based off a storyline in the original series, and the designs were likely lifted from the comics too.

* IAmNotShazam: Sort of. The lead character's name as written on her left arm is 'Cyber 6', and the comic explains that she is the last survivor of a previously-wiped-out 'cyber series' (occasionally referenced in the show). But the title sequence says 'Cybersix', and characters often pronounce it that way, run together as one word.
