In the GRIM DARKNESS of the 41st Millennium, there's only WAR. In the NOBLE BRIGHTNESS of the 21st Century, there's only LOVE ADVENTURE. Someone Just had to mess up with that...
Oshizu's (and thus all Eldar's) sword was justifiably one molecule thick; the Power Sword creates a matter-dismembering field, Rin's katana vibrates to create metal-melting heat and is made of Unobtanium.
While unable to create a Clean Cut, the Chainsword is just as sharp.
Due to the custom, Warriors/Knights in Devilukean saw Friendly Sparringas a Euphemism for love confession/engagement (though not to the extent of marriage).
Action Girl: Pretty much every single female character who survives.
Adam and Eve Plot: Yuu and Akiho invokes this, but while there are way more than two people alive (about 500 million survivors actually), everyone agreed to various extents.
Rito: I'm 17 and I'm a CAPTAIN OF ELITE COMBAT DIVISION! I'VE FIGHTING ORKS AFTER BREAKFAST AND KILLED MORE ORKS THAN AVERAGE PERSON IN YOUR FLEET!! THE ORKS DEFINITELY UP TO SOMETHING!
Battle Couple: The SPARTAN members suspect Rito and Yui are this. Inevitably, SPARTAN themselves composed of male and female in roughly same number. Exception of Rito, Yui, Saruyama, and ESPECIALLYPeke, they're Battle Couple in any sense.
Big Damn Guns: Space Marine IN SPADES, Saruyama said that earth-made Heavy weapons are stripped to naked form so that Guardsmen can use it, they're still 50 pounds
Big Eater: considering each Space Marine eat 16000 kilo Calories (8 times average men) a day...
And that IS average diet (aka healthy diet) when they're not in a war. To a lesser extent, each member of brigades consumed up to 12000 Kilo Calories a day during theirtraining regime and reduced to around 5000 during their service.
Saruyama: When you see the SPARTAN, it's because they allows you, when you're NOT seeing them, it's incoming attack.
Boobs of Steel: Chise mocked that the Brigade girls only proud of their bust size, turn's out she's WRONG. Inverted the way they accomplished their task
Yami looks like a 14-year Badass Lolita, second strongest and most durable fighter amongst the cast.
Clap Your Hands If You Believe: Dealing with orks' latent-but-subconscious Psychic Power. When they going WAAAGH! their weapon increased in effectiveness (sometimes exponentially). Inversely, a very religious place where people gathered and PRAYING decrease Ork's power.
Principal secretly build area 72 under Sainan High.
And Chise bought Area 51 by her new-year allowance.
Curb-Stomp Battle: Rito vs Takumi, a rare Kick the Dog moment for the redhead. Takumi recklessly head out to seek for Nozomi, and Rito tried to stop him. When Takumi lose control and attack him for getting in the way, Rito ended it with three stroke from his rifle butt, despite Takumi wearing heavy kevlar armor at the time. They making up afterwards and found Nozomi...
Easy Logistics: Partially averted. Technology, material and chemical compounds for weapon, armor, and Vehicle construction and operation are sent from space on a regular basis (via Colony Drop). Food, on the other hand.
Fake Ultimate Hero: Rito admit himself as this, he's an elite. Too bad every single New Meat worship him, and Rito DOES know that his propaganda boost their morale.
Five Rounds Rapid: Subverted. Infantry weapon CONSTANTLY upgraded from a standard Bolt Pistol up to Disposable Rocket Launcher and personal Autocannon.
Food Pills/ Future Food Is Artificial: BRICKLOAF (official name and printed in all-caps on the wrapper), is a bar-shaped loaf made of condensed nutrition enough to cover 12-hour expended energy inside a continuous battle (or heavy training). The name comes from its ridiculous density (brick-sized piece weight LIKE A REAL BRICK), and being saturated with fiber, somewhat hard to chew. Subverted that it was available in 25 flavors!
Holy Hand Grenade: Sousuke's Fusion Dance power only uber-effective against Ids (and Daemons, and CHAOS SPACE MARINE), so does Oshizu's Ki Attacks. They still powerful enough in a mundane fight (like against Orks), but far from Game Breaker.
Huge Schoolgirl: When undergo Bio-Augmentation, the subject will gain height by few inches (up to 8 inches actually). Notably, this is more of a problem with girls, Saki ESPECIALLY has a problem being 166 cm now (actually just slightly taller than Lala, but Lala is special). Yui is 171 cm and Rin is taller at 173 cm, they has no qualms about that. Note that these are just beyond normal height of Japanese girls and rather ordinary when they meet Eagle Land counterparts.
Identical Stranger: First time Sousuke met the heroes during Tokyo Tower shownoff, Rito, mistaken him for Yui Kotegawa (albeit they quickly realize he isn't). Later, everyone but two of them mistaken him for Yui's Sister.
Lensman Arms Race: Chapter 1 shown the Action Survivor using conventional firearm (which is useless) and high-explosive grenades. Chapter 3 depict War of small-sized TITANS.
Loud of War: during 'Tokyo Siege', the Orks are so numerous that WAAAAGH!! can be heard echoing allover the city. Rito's solution? Battle Cry with 130 dB Loudspeaker!
Mildly Military: Justified, as the Commissar, highest authority in Tenjouin Brigade is a former Businessman. Lower officers are those who had a taste with real military and they did the job. After modified, these Brigade members is taught by Space Marine with the most basic yet effective military skill, Company Captain is those with much better leadership skill, and below them are Elites (equal Lieutenant) and Squad Leaders (equal Sergeant).
Modern Major General: Commissar (Ryuga) Tenjouin, as he explained in chapter 3 that all the Junior Officer deciding the strategy and tactics and not him, but he handles everything regarding the wargear production, supply network, and deployment. Then again, he's a businessman.
Stay in the Kitchen: oddly this applies to UNDERAGE and half of the ADULTS regardless of gender (Competence Zone played too much?), Underages largely founded themselves well protected in the colony by a local defense forces composed half of the adults, while the latter half provides logistic support and such. Modified teens, boy or girl, going into the front line and treated as equal (Positive Discrimination really hit both gender).
Super Soldier: Generally all young members of the Brigades, while Space Marine is just that... Extreme, all the members has been modified to the peak of their body while remains a normal human.
Funny thing that Takumi and his Unwanted Harem problem is UNRESOLVED in any sense, Motemitsu and Saruyama making fun of him mercilessly, only Rito cheer him up.
Tsundere: Several. There are Yui, Amane, and Fumino.
They Look Just Like Everyone Else: Tenjouin brigade specifically LIMIT the Bio-Augmentation potential so that beyond increased height and theoretically overweight yet ideally lean body, it's rather hard to tell the difference between normal and Enhanced Teenagers.
Specifically, first Seven day of the Bio-Augmentation are total Nightmare Fuel/ Nausea Fuel. After that things are getting lighter, with the recruits are taught to handle the weapons and vehicles properly with few hours field training session a day. The actual training begin on the second week is the hellish one....
Unkempt Beauty: Yui, Rin, Haruna and Aya. The first and second is like 'Have no time for that', the third and fourth not discard make-up, they just very modest about that.
Zerg Rush: Orks, and the worst one is Cult of Emperor. Subverted by Guardsmen that they relies on number, but without decent strategy they'll steamrolled by Orks.
