11	!!These tropes can't get worse from here, right?
12	* {{Animesque}}: References to the cartoony side of anime/manga art-styles include Ramy sometimes having a pink, blank mouth, and Frida’s open mouth showing a single sharp tooth[[note]]or fang[[/note]] like how a single crooked tooth is considered cute in Japan.
13	* ArtEvolution: Since 2017, ''[=FireSoup=]'' and its characters have gotten many changes such as preferences of clothing, physical details such as eye shapes, and even changed the physique sometimes such as making Ramy chubbier a few years after this comic was released. This trope even caused the comic’s art-style to be somewhat inconsistent in the first pages.
14	* BankRobbery: This is what has happened to Pig-Y Bank multiple times, and where Frida got her chance to show her powers.
15	* BigBad: The Heart Mafia is responsible for turning Micco City into a [[ToCreateAPlaygroundForEvil crime-ridden place]] where superheroes are just a dream.
16	* BlackBeadEyes: The blondine working at the bank has these eyes.
17	* CastOfSnowflakes: No two characters look alike in this comic, with a large variety of faces such as colored pupils without irises and even BlackBeadEyes, and different hairstyles like Ramy’s short bangs with a tuft on the back of her head.
18	* DamselInDistress: The girl at the bank is threatened at gunpoint by the burglar.
19	* GleefulAndGrumpyPairing: Frida is the one who’s gleeful about being a hero, while Ramy’s grumpy expressions put her in the latter.
20	* PieEyed: As Takko is a fan of the 1930s cartoon style and likes VideoGame/Cuphead, characters sometimes sport this trope when in a chibi form, aren’t in the focus in a shot, or are far away (which is often related to the second factor).
21	* PuniPlush: The characters are depicted with rounded heads, chins and even fingers.
22	* PunnyName:
23	** Ramy’s name is used here as a pun on “ramen,” which is more obvious if you know that she’s called “Noodles” as a superhero.
24	** The name of Frida’s superhero alias “[=FireDra=]” is a pun on both her name and “fire dragon.”
25	* RedOniBlueOni: On two occasions. Ramy is the blue one in both of them:
26	** Frida’s enthusiasm in being a hero and her love for challenges and action (red) contrasts Ramy’s laid-back, introverted personality, with the latter finding attention uncomfortable, so she may fight with passive aggression (blue).
27	** Before Frida, there’s the BenevolentBoss Miss Bett who wants to have fun and likes teasing and playing with her employee Ramy.
28	* Slapstick: One example of Ramy’s ButtMonkey status is her accidentally being punched by Bett when she recovers from the former hitting her with an extinguisher. The four cats in a trenchcoat reveal their identities when slipping on the floor.
29	* ThickLineAnimation: This comic is not the first artwork by Takko to feature this trope.
30	* TomboyWithAGirlyStreak: Ramy, Frida and Miss Bett all play this trope in some way:
31	** While Ramy may not look girly at first, and [[https://twitter.com/takkotito/status/1578448480103976961/photo/1 has played baseball with Frida in one drawing]], some doodles show her having twintails or wearing something more feminine. [[https://twitter.com/takkotito/status/1550059967268458496/photo/1 This concept art of Ramy as a kid and a teen, opens the complexity of her sense of style]]. She also swears eyeshadow, and makeup is often considered feminine.
32	** Frida’s considered a tomboy, even if her girly streak is shown with her superhero suit forming into a dress when her powers are activated. [[https://www.deviantart.com/takkotito/art/Noodoodles-817311434 She has also worn dresses on other occasions]].
33	** Last but not the least obvious, Miss Bett likes wearing a French maid dress even though she’s like a cool figure.
34	* TotemPoleTrench: The burglar robbing the bank is four weird-looking cats in a trenchcoat.
35	* WordSaladTitle: Takko admitted [[https://www.deviantart.com/takkotito/art/Ramydoodles18-773372856 that the title is just something that he made up because it sounded like a “pulp magazine” title]].
