Real Women Never Wear Dresses: Averted in one story where Erma finds out, with Toki's coaxing, that she finds that occasionally indulging her feminine side, like buying and wearing a sexy dress and attracting the appreciative stares of males, is fun. However, she still is no less a soldier on this kind of off-time such as she spots a possible terrorist with a gun and she and Toki have him covered with their own side arms instantly. It turns out to be only a camera with a pistol grip, but everyone assures Erma that it was a reasonable call.

Disney Death - He survived along his grandfather to the ILR planetary bombing, but he never managed to reunite with his mother ever again.

Erma's former lover at the beginning of the series.
Karma Houdini: Even after destroying Erma's life for good, letting the ILR to bomb Dornthant, letting millions of innocent civilians dying in the process and becoming the planetary governor, the only punishment he received (according with the epilogue of the first Story Arc) was being forgotten by his peers due of his fears of being killed by the ones he replaced after the attack.
Love Makes You Evil - He is maybe one of poster boys of this trope. He LITERALLY makes Erma's life a living hell, including letting the ILR to raze Dornthant to hell, sabotaging Alfon's (Erma's boyfriend and Rojigo's father) aerodyne and killing him in the process and also destroying (without killing them) Erma's WHOLE family.)
