9	In the depths of my soul, I know we will survive.''

11	''ComicBook/{{Cybersix}}'' was an Italian-Argentinian comic book that had its rights bought by the now-defunct Canadian company Creator/NOAAnimation, who then passed the animation duties off to the Japanese studio Creator/TMSEntertainment, and the result was this cartoon. One of the first shows produced in association with Creator/{{Teletoon}}, the series lasted from September to November, 1999 for a total of 13 episodes and is considered a classic in Canadian animation and by longtime viewers of the channel.
12
13	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, "Adrian" is a 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.
14
15	Despite its gorgeous animation, a likable and interesting plot and characters, [[ShortRunners the show only had 13 episodes]], and did not receive a DVD release in English until almost 15 years after it aired. Luckily, its 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 Creator/{{Hulu}} in 2013, and it finally received a DVD release in late 2014 thanks to Creator/DiscotekMedia with a Blu-Ray release coming October 2023. As of August 2022, the entire series can be legally watched on [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nHlhHImKxyE&list=PLj2Ugc-vxcWG40YiVkqJql0vge0qy_TGF&index=2 TMS' YouTube channel]].

18	----
19	!!This show provides examples of:
20
21	%%* ActionGirl: Cybersix.
22	* ActuallyPrettyFunny: Anytime someone makes a joke at José's expense, his thugs usually laugh at it.
23	* AdaptationalAttractiveness:
24	** Lori and Lucas receive this treatment, having a more pleasant appearance than their comic book counterparts. [[http://browse.deviantart.com/art/Lori-Anderson-Comparison-193742855 Here is a comparison of Lori]].
25	** The title character herself is also considerably different looking between the comics and cartoon. [=Cartoon!Cybersix=] is much less [[MostCommonSuperpower busty and voluptuous]] and has more of a gymnast's figure, which is what you'd expect for a woman who gets around by jumping across rooftops. Whether or not this counts as a straight example or an inversion is a matter of personal taste.
26	* 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 or a Fixed Idea is defeated in the cartoon, they turn into a pile of clothes and a vial of Sustenance.
27	* AdaptationalWimp: In the comic, Fixed Ideas are almost too much for Cybersix, so she avoids them when possible (in the first chapter, even 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.
28	* AdaptationDistillation: The cartoon to the comic. They removed much of the extraneous NavelGazing among ''many'' other things, which makes this also a fine example of a PragmaticAdaptation.
29	* AdaptationDyeJob: In the original comics, Lori is stated to be a blonde, whereas her hair is red in the cartoon.
30	* AdorablyPrecociousChild: Julian.
31	* AlienBlood: Sustenance, which is blood for Cybers, Technos and Fixed Ideas, is green. In the comic (which is black and white), it's implied to be red to blend in with humans.
32	* AllAnimalsAreDogs: Data 7 acts more like a dog than the jaguar he is, even licking Cybersix's face on occasion.
33	* 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, where the Adrian persona came from 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.
34	* AlternateIdentityAmnesia: Lucas, whenever he turned into a werewolf in episode 10.
35	* AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: The Fixed Ideas are green, with blond hair. In the comic, however (which is monochrome), they're implied to have normal skin tones.
36	* AnimeThemeSong: The show was produced with help from a Japanese studio, the theme song breaks the convention of the time and feels more like an anime theme song than the traditional western animated TitleThemeTune.
37	* ApologeticAttacker: Once Yashimoto confronts Cybersix with the intention of capturing her, he asks her to forgive him.
38	* ArtificialHuman: The Cyber and Techno series and Fixed Ideas.
39	* AsianBuckTeeth: Yashimoto and his sister.
40	* BadassCape: It can rival Franchise/{{Batman}}'s in pure awesome swishiness.
41	* BadassLongcoat: Lucas wears this from time to time, and usually is more effective when he does. Yashimoto also dons one.
42	* BadassNormal:
43	** 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.
44	** 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).
45	* BigBad: Von Richter.
46	* BigBrotherInstinct: When Adrian is being accosted by students that were mad at him rejecting Lori, Lucas comes in to put a stop to it. [[BadassBystander He doesn't even do anything and the bullies run away from Adrian.]] That was just after knowing Adrian for a few minutes.
47	* BigEater: Lucas. Look at him scarf down that food in the opening! Cybersix even cracks a joke in Episode 7 when she finds him at the diner not eating as "a newsworthy event". And the server claims the chef loves cooking for him because if he wasn't there, "he would get out of practice".
48	* TheBigGuy: Lucas, amusingly enough for a show's main LoveInterest. He's big enough and strong enough to be able to go toe-to-toe with Fixed Ideas and actually hurt them, though he never wins any fights with them, and he's shown to be capable of taking a ''lot'' of punishment.
49	* BittersweetEnding: Dr. von Reichter is killed, Meridiana is saved and Cybersix is implied to have survived but Jose is still around to finish what his father started.
50	* BrattyHalfPint: José is plenty bratty himself. However, his tantrums and annoying behaviors are actually done on purpose, for laughs.
51	* CapeSnag: In the first episode, one of the minions grabs Cybersix's cape and uses it to throw her across the room.
52	* ChekhovsGun: In the episode ''The Eye'', Adrian watches Lucas show his chemistry students the effects of liquid nitrogen. Lucas picks up a tennis ball and bounces it on the desk, before spraying it with nitrogen. When he tries bouncing the ball again, it shatters. Cybersix later uses this information to ultimately destroy the episode's Eye monster.
53	* CircusOfFear: José menaces Cybersix with a fake circus full of mechanical animals in "The Greatest Show in Meridiana".
54	* CityOfAdventure: Meridiana. Everything seems to happen in Meridiana. In fact, there's only one episode that spends time outside Meridiana, and that was only because the villain of that episode found out that Adrian was Cybersix, and stalked them on their field trip.
55	** Sort of justified in that Von Reichter and José know that Cybersix lives in and protects Meridiana and thus continue to send monsters and weapons there to catch or kill her.
56	*** Not to mention that the comics strongly hint they were there originally, and she purposely hunted them down.
57	* ClarkKenting: Cybersix wears no mask, so Adrian brushes their hair differently and wears glasses. Not to mention the [[{{Crossdresser}} cross-dressing]].
58	* CombatStilettos: Cybersix wears them in her superhero persona. She is often shown using them as weapons, stomping on goons and so on. Justified in the comic in that she stole the costume off a ''prostitute''.
59	* CoolBigSis: While she knows that he can take care of himself during the day, Cybersix doesn't neglect Julian, occasionally visiting him and keeping him safe when needed.
60	* 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. 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).
61	** 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 attention. No doubt he'd be promoted to CoolTeacher if the students realized what "Adrian" was up to in his free time...
62	%%* TheCowl
63	%%* CreepyGood: Cybersix and Data 7.
64	* CrushBlush: Cybersix herself sports one in "Terra" after fantasizing about dancing with [[LoveInterest Lucas]].
65	* CuteBookworm: Cybersix as Adrian, given that they're a lit teacher and often seen quoting poetry.
66	* {{Delinquents}}: Lori is the head of her own gang.
67	* DemotedToExtra: Julian only appears in two scenes of the final episode.
68	* DidTheyOrDidntThey: In "The Bluebirds of Horror", Cybersix spends almost a full 24-hours holed up with Lucas in his apartment. What were they doing that whole time?
69	* DoAndroidsDream: Explained in the books. Referred to as "resistored dreams" in the first chapter.
70	* TheDragon: José is this to Von Reichter.
71	* DragonAscendant: The last scene of the last episode implies that José has become this.
72	* DramaticThunder: Usually played straight, but played with in episode seven, where a thunderclap that could be seen as Thunderous Underline to the villain's plotting actually ''startles'' the villain, because it's a sunny day outside. It turns out to be the precursor of a rainstorm later in the evening.
73	%%* DumbMuscle: The Fixed Ideas.
74	* EmbarrassingSlide: Provides the only bit of background the audience got on Lucas: that he was once a scrawny boxer. Also a bit of an EstablishingCharacterMoment as he laughs when he sees it, showing him as an easygoing teacher despite how big he is now.
75	* EmptyPilesOfClothing: Left behind when an artificial human dies.
76	* EpicFail: José tries to intimidate someone with his fighting style, only to trip and knock himself out.
77	* EverythingFades: The show used some odd video game references that are almost certainly unintentional. When defeated, the Fixed Ideas evaporate, leaving behind a pile of clothes and 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.
78	** Another variant occurs in the episode ''Blue Birds of Horror'', when Data 7 destroys the Monster of the Week by throwing it into an electrified transmission tower, causing it to literally be burned to ash.
79	* EvilVersusEvil: In the final episode, José [[spoiler: reprograms the bomb that his father Von Reichter sent to destroy Meridiana, because José doesn't want to lose his position as crime lord. The base is blown up and seemingly kills Cybersix; making it seem like a TheBadGuyWins scenario...but it is implied that Cybersix is still alive later.]]
80	* EvilutionaryBiologist: Most of (if not all) the MonsterOfTheWeek candidates are creatures that Von Reichter created. José seems to be heading along the same path as well.
81	* FaceOfAThug: The creatures Dr. Reichter sets free in the last episode to try to kill Cybersix certainly look monstruous, [[spoiler:but the only thing they do once freed is to attack him, not her. One of them even shows Cyber a door she can use to escape, giving her a gentle smile.]]
82	* FantasticDietRequirement: All of Von Richter's creations require a substance called Sustenance to continue functioning, including the titular Cyber and her ally/brother Data-7. In fact, her initial reason for tracking Von Richter's group to Meridiana was less to stop his hostile takeover of the city and more to get Sustenance from his {{Mooks}}. Cybersix as Adrien can eat normal food and drink, but what, if anything, she derives from it beyond blending in is never explained.
83	* FeatheredFiend: The mind-controlled blue birds employed by José and Von Reichter in "Blue Birds of Horror" (which comes complete with homages bordering on gratuitous to ''Film/TheBirds'')
84	* 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 British Columbia-area high schools (along with a literature BA from "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]].
85	* FutureSlang: Three kids threaten Adrian in the first episode using incomprehensible lingo.
86	* GeniusBruiser: Lucas again. He seems to be not only a biology, but a chemistry teacher as well, a published writer, and some scenes suggest he's trying to replicate Sustenance. He's also a skillful brawler who has no qualms about taking on Fixed Ideas, ''and winning.''
87	* HaveAGayOldTime: The regrettably similar-sounding word "cybersex" had not yet passed into common usage when this series was titled.
88	* HeartwarmingOrphan: Julian, and even Cybersix to an extent.
89	%%* HeelFaceTurn: Data 7.
90	* HeroicBystander: Lucas, Lori, and Julian all step into this role in different episodes.
91	* HeroicSacrifice: Terra. And boy is it a TearJerker.
92	** Also the monster who could turn invisible, [[spoiler:who let herself fall off of a bridge to her death so that Cybersix could survive an oncoming train]]. Cybersix herself could count, when she goes to confront Von Reicter in the final episode and is fully prepared to die. [[spoiler:The ending implies that she does survive though.]]
93	** In the series finale, [[spoiler: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.]]
94	* HighClassGlass: Von Reichter's monocle.
95	* HoistByHisOwnPetard: Pretty much a RunningGag with José.
96	** In the end, this also happens to [[spoiler:Von Reicter.]]
97	* HotForTeacher: Lori, probably for two even!
98	* HunterOfHisOwnKind: Cybersix and Data 7 hunt other Von Reichter's creations.
99	* ImplacableMan: The Eye. It never ceases its endless hunt for souls and likely would have eventually gone on to consume the entire ''world'' if Cybersix didn't finally take him down.
100	* KnightOfCerebus: Episodes featuring Von Reichter, rather than José, as TheHeavy are noticeably higher-stakes. Invoked by their differing {{Leitmotif}}s: José's is lighter and features an accordion, while Von Reichter's is far darker and incorporates funeral bells
101	* LeeroyJenkins: By the end of the first episode, it becomes fairly apparent that Von Reichter will never be able to create a monster scary enough that Lucas won't try to fight 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.
102	* {{Leitmotif}}: ''Everybody in the show.'' Even one episode characters. The most consistently recurring ones, though, are Cybersix's (which is based on the opening theme), and another for José, both of which are used so consistently and well that they become musical heads-ups as to who is currently in a scene.
103	** Oddly, Lucas is the only major character who lacks one. The composer indicated that this was a deliberate choice, as Lucas was basically the ultimate bystander, always getting swept up in the action.
104	* LighterAndSofter: The animated series is '''way''' softer than the original comic, which was more violent and had highly sexual content.
105	* LightningBruiser: Both Cybersix and Data 7. Lucas is pretty agile too for such a big guy.
106	* MadeOfIron: Lucas, who takes tons of punishment throughout the series, sometimes even more than the heroine herself. We're sure he's totally human, right?
107	* MaybeEverAfter: Whatever happens between Cyber 6 and Lucas as [[spoiler:the two do share a kiss before Cyber 6 ultimately fights Von Richter, and the final scene is Lucas seeing the light to Adrian's apartment turned on, meaning Cyber 6 made it out all right.]]
108	* MeaningfulRename: Cyber 29 --> Data 7.
109	* MinionWithAnFInEvil: The Fixed Ideas. They are simply dumb muscles following commands, when not following commands they are usually just looking at things as a child does.
110	* {{Mook}}s: Called 'Fixed Ideas', they have green skin and red eyes. Mostly employed by José as bodyguards and movers, and to assemble various devices. When Cybersix knocks them out, they disappear and leave a vial of 'Sustenance' (see EverythingFades above).
111	* MythologyGag: The helmet José wears to pilot his DrillTank in episode 5 is the same one that he dons at one point in the comic -- only in the comic he wore it while pursuing Cybersix in the guise of a toddler riding a tricycle.
112	** The man reading the newspaper in the intro is a reused design for an extra in the comics, who was also reading a newspaper.
113	** A recurring Techno in the series bears a striking resemblance to a Type from the comics named Sylvester Vidal. While they could be the same character, the tv counterpart is never referred to by name (concept art just refer to him as Techno).
114	%%* TheNapoleon: José.
115	%%* NaziNobleman: Von Reichter.
116	* NiceKitty: When Data-7 arrives to work alongside José in the second episode, the boy says this to the panther to stay on his good side.
117	* NinjaPirateZombieRobot: Cybersix/Adrian is a [[LegoGenetics genetically-engineered]] crime-fighting [[CrossDresser cross-dressing]] [[SternTeacher lit teacher]].
118	* OneNameOnly: Von Reichter. His first name is probably some variation of Joseph, given that his son/clone is named José, and it would also be a reference to another famous Nazi MadScientist who fled to Argentina, Josef Mengele (who fled Argentina under the name "José Mengele" after Adolf Eichmann was captured by Mossad).
119	* NoOntologicalInertia: In one episode, Lucas is infected by a werewolf monster and turns into one himself. When Cybersix destroys the monster, Lucas's scars immediately heal and the infection disappears.
120	** Semi-justified in that one of the ways to cure werewolf-ism was to kill the original werewolf. Doesn't explain the scars, though.
121	** Also semi-justified in that the episode implied that those infected by the original werewolf only transformed through her will of it rather than simply transforming every full moon.
122	* NotWhatItLooksLike: In "Lori's Missing" Lori manages to find out where Adrian lives. When going there, she overhears a conversation between Cybersix and Data-7. When she looks through the keyhole, she can only see Six and not Data-7. So she assumes the person Cybersix is talking to, is Adrian. Rather than assume that the woman, [[PaperThinDisguise who sounds suspiciously similar to her crush]], is one and the same; She thinks Adrian is standing her up for Cybersix and tells Lucas about it, who then confronts Adrian about it. Adrian denies the girlfriend part, but stumbles when being questioned about his knowing of Cybersix, which prompts some bitter distrust from Lucas.
123	* {{Oculothorax}}: The MonsterOfTheWeek in "The Eye" is a floating eyeball that gets bigger with every soul that it sucks out.
124	* OhCrap: In the first episode, when Jose confronts Cybersix for the José time, he at first just saw her as some vigilante nuisance. However when she shows her identification number, he's the only one who seems terrified of her at first as he, much like Von Richter, thought the Cybers were wiped out.
125	* OlderThanTheyLook: We are never given his age, but José is insistent that he is not a child and even shows interest in Lori in one episode. (In the comic, he is a genetic copy of von Richter, with a more or less adult mind in a child's body.)
126	* PassThePopcorn: José gets popcorn when he is watching Cybersix drown.
127	* PantheraAwesome: Data 7. Just look at the picture!
128	* ParentalAbandonment: Let's see, Julian is an orphan, Yashimoto acts as both Ikiko's brother and guardian, and Cybersix and Data 7 have some... issues with their "dad."
129	** The only character shown to have two living parents is Lori; they are briefly seen in the finale.
130	* {{Patricide}}: In the finale, one of Von Reichter's creations finally kills him. [[spoiler: Although he may have technically been killed by one of his no-name monsters, he was doomed to die anyway by the hand of none other than José.]]
131	* PhlebotinumDependence: All of Von Reichter's creations are dependent on the enigmatic Sustenance to survive, including Cybersix herself. Having no direct supply, she's forced to feed on Sustenance contained in the very creatures that Von Reichter sends after her.
132	* ProHumanTranshuman: Cybersix was created to be a Nazi-style Ubermensch, but steadfastly defends humanity against Von Richter.
133	* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Lucas and Adrian, to their students.
134	* RecycledAnimation: Shots of Cybersix running across buildings are reused in the later half of the series.
135	%%* RidiculouslyHumanRobots: Cybersix, for one.
136	* RunningGag: For all the scenes that start with Lucas eating at a restaurant, he never finishes a single meal. It's a shame, too, because [[FoodPorn the food always looks absolutely delicious]].
137	** He does in Episode 7.
138	* ScaryShinyGlasses: José, occasionally.
139	* SceneryPorn: While the whole show is beautifully animated, one scene features a breathtaking waterfall as the backdrop.
140	* SelfDisposingVillain: Generally averted (see ThouShaltNotKill).
141	* SelfMadeOrphan:[[spoiler: By the end of the series; José, who blows up his father's seaside lab...with him in it.]]
142	* SharedFamilyQuirks: Both von Reicter and José seem to think they are SurroundedByIdiots.
143	* SheFu: Cybersix is an expert in it, with most of her combat consisting of [[CombatParkour flips and bounces off the scenery]], {{Goomba Stomp}}ing {{Mooks}} with her CombatStilettos.
144	* ShoutOut: One of the robotic animals in the Circus is [[Film/TheWizardOfOz a flying monkey]].
145	* SmugSnake: José often acts smarter and more powerful than he actually is.
146	* StockFootage: Lucas is always watching the same soccer game.
147	* SuperScream: One MonsterOfTheWeek was a flock of flying goblins that could fire sonic blasts from their mouths.
148	* SweetPollyOliver: Inverted in that her ''civilian'' identity is the male one.
149	* TamerAndChaster: The original comics are ''very'' adult. The show, on the other hand, is tame enough for a Saturday morning cartoon even with the mature themes present.
150	* TheTeamNormal: Lucas, who is also BadassNormal.
151	* TechnicolorScience: Sustenance, the fuel that Cybersix and Von Reichter's other creations run on is glowing neon green.
152	%%* TopheavyGuy: The Fixed Ideas.
153	* TheTrickster: Compared to the other genetic creations, Cybersix is weak and outdated. She stays alive and topples her assailants through trickery and wit ([[ThePowerOfFriendship and some good friends]].)
154	* ThouShaltNotKill: Generally averted. While Cybersix values human and animal life, she and her allies have little qualms about destroying most of Von Reichter's creations. 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.
155	** And, in order for Cybersix to gain Sustenance, she typically does kill Von Reichter's creations, with Fixed Ideas being the easiest prey.
156	** Incidentally, in the much grittier comic, she actually largely ''avoids'' killing those she takes Sustenance from, only draining them so that they are barely alive, despite having no real empathy for them.
157	** 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 saddened by Elaine's death too.
158	* ThoseWackyNazis: Specifically said in the comic, but only subtext in the show, Von Reicter was a Nazi. José's constantly doing the trademark Nazi goose-walk in the show, too.
159	* ThousandYardStare: People that are caught in the gaze of The Eye have their souls taken and have their faces frozen in a soulless gaze.
160	* TimmStyle: It ''is'' based off a comic book.
161	* TitleThemeTune: One of the few western animated productions to avert this trope (although it is sung from the title character's point of view).
162	* TokenHeroicOrc: Both Cybersix and Data 7 are Von Riechter's creation turned good.
163	* TokenNonHuman: Data 7 who is a Panther with a human brain (Cybersix considers herself not to be human, but by all practical purposes she is).
164	* TrulySingleParent: Von Reichter and José.
165	* TwoPersonLoveTriangle: Cybersix/[[SweetOnPollyOliver Adrian]] and [[LovesMyAlterEgo Lucas]]. Amusingly, at times, it sure seems like Lucas likes the male identity as much as the female.
166	* TurnedAgainstTheirMasters: All the Cybers, including (obviously) Cybersix herself, but it seems that Von Reichter is incapable of creating anything with the slightest bit of intelligence (which excludes fixed ideas and [[MonsterOfTheWeek monsters of the week]]) that does ''not'' turn on him in the end. [[spoiler: This includes his own son, José.]]
167	* UglyGuyHotWife: Cybersix is slender and attractive as both a man and a woman. Lucas, on the other hand, is rather chunky and muscular. He does get better as the series goes on, though, and his personality and loyalty are his most attractive features.
168	* TheVamp: Elaine in ''Full Moon Fascination''.
169	* WholePlotReference: "Bluebirds of Horror" is pretty much ''Cybersix'' meets ''Film/TheBirds''.
170	* WhyDontYouJustShootHim: In "The Greatest Show in Meridiana", when faced with a giant computer that controls robotic monsters, Lucas simply [[spoiler:unplugs it.]]
171	%%* WorldOfBadass
172	* YellowFace: Yashimoto's episode wasn't aired in the US, due to Yashimoto and his sister's designs being almost as cartoonishly stereotypical as a Japanese caricature from a UsefulNotes/WorldWarII cartoon. However, the show had Japanese animators and the episode aired with no problem in other regions.
