* CrossesTheLineTwice: And thrice. And twice again after that. Hilariously so.
* InferredHolocaust: [[spoiler: Subverted: This time when the Death Star gets destroyed, it ''does'' destroy the nearby planet.]]
%%* InsertSong: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zoM4oaeuxiE There's nothing for Poemi Watanabe today]], which kind of puts the usually blitheful heroine [[TheWoobie under a different light]].
* JustHereForGodzilla: Some people only watched for Nabeshin. Too bad he got killed off in the first episode. [[spoiler: But it's ok, he got better.]]
* OneSceneWonder: Nabeshin and Kumi-Kumi for many were the most interesting characters in the show, despite both getting killed in the first episode. [[spoiler: And luckily, thanks to Kumi-Kumi's badass acupuncture skills and RuleOfFunny, they didn't stay dead]]
* RetroactiveRecognition: Creator/YumikoKobayashi is better known nowadays for her roles as Shobu Kirifuda...at least until [[Creator/KoukiUchiyama he grew up]], his younger brother Katta Kirifuda and his nephew Joe Kirifuda in ''Anime/DuelMasters''. Poemi was one of her earlier roles.
* {{Squick}}: The scene with Poemi and Futaba talking at night in bed, with their heads moving around in impossible ways with the sounds of bones breaking is both hilarious and cringe-inducing.
* ThisIsYourPremiseOnDrugs: This is ''Anime/ExcelSaga'' on ''Excel Saga''.
%%* ToyShip: Poemi and Futaba.
