* LesYay: Tymoshenko and Eleonora come across as... quite a bit more than just friends. They've occasionally been described as a [[http://everything2.com/title/D%252Fs "D/s couple"]], but that isn't ''quite'' accurate since Tymoshenko would never willingly hurt Eleonora... [[BerserkButton or let anyone else hurt her, either]].[[note]]There certainly is no question as to who "wears the pants", however, which is especially hilarious as Eleonora's MildlyMilitary outfit does include pants.[[/note]]

** Think about this for a moment: everyone in the FiveManBand is a controversial figure in their home country. (Yes, even [[HometownHero Koizumi]].) But the writer is capable enough to make the audience cheer for them anyway, in spite of their shortcomings, not just because they're fighting the Nazis, but because ''they're genuinely likeable''.

* MoeMoe: Yulia Tymoshenko usually looks and rather acts like this; scarily enough this portrayal ''[[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yulia_Tymoshenko is not that far off the mark]]'', which makes it even funnier. [[spoiler:She uses this to more or less hide her DarkActionGirl side, which ''also'' is not that far off the mark from real life, minus the mahjong craziness.]] If she doesn't do it for you, though, her assistant Eleonora (who is one of the few manga-original major characters) pretty much ''exists'' to fill this trope, complete with [[{{Meganekko}} glasses]].

* DoingItForTheArt: The manga alone is chock-full of real-life details about the politicians, such as Taro Aso's Roman Catholic faith, that are used to build the characters and story development -- more so than you'd ever expect from a WidgetSeries.



* NoExportForYou: It will be a frigid day in Hell before any publisher outside of Japan even thinks of trying to license this thing. Can you even imagine the shitstorm that would result?

** This is all highlighted when we see him in bed, where he has a shoe next to his pillow, pretzels by his head, a Segway beside his bed, and a toy plane probably meant to suggest the infamous flight suit/"Mission Accomplished" debacle.
