* ExtremeLibido: Goki doesn't hit on her spider-girl friend ''that'' agressively until that Forcefully Rape Alice act she doesn't even get to try, but then ''Blattodea'' shows her masturbating like crazy to a plain picture of Alice's face after a whole year since being ditched. The cockroach trivia for the scene invokes the trope by stating a given roach can copulate far more than other bugs during their lifespan. Notably, the scene in question [[ProductionThrowback is an exact match]] for one from the first chapter of the author's ''Killing Bites'' spinoff about Ui Inaba the the nymphomaniac bunny-girl.

* OrcusOnHisThrone: Invoked trope; Goki personally captures and arrests Chiyuri and Setsuna with Geji's help but subjects them to a SortingAlgorithmOfEvil while she watches from the cameras, stating she is a big shot and would rather avoid the hassle of fighting the heroines until the last minute.

But then it never actually happens, as Chiyuri is recruited into the staff and Megumi later ends up replaced by Makoto and hijacked in the narrative by Serena.

* TheBaroness: Ultimately PlayedForLaughs as she tries to look like an imposing prison director villainess in uniform like Ageha was in ''Caterpillar'' but ultimately remains a goofy dumbass who is kicked out of her position and gets promptly overshadowed by the actual BigBad Serena.



* JerkWithAHeartOfJerk: Despite her bitchyness Goki is plenty friendly and helpful to Alice, and genuinely so, but the ending shows she still would rape her if she had the chance.

** She orders a hundred prisoners to rape Setsuna Dinoponera to death at a point the ant-girl is portrayed as an anti-heroine, claiming she deserves it for tormenting Alice during the Arachnid Hunt. This almost equates her to Sasori, the one who already got Dinopo horribly gangraped and is the ''HateSink'' of the series.

This almost equates her to Sasori, the one who already got Dinopo horribly gangraped and is the ''HateSink'' of the series. The story actually kicks Megumi out of her villainous role soon after this in favor of having Serena invade the prison, as if to keep the blonde roach from becoming too unsympathetic...



* OddFriendship: While Oki enjoys being loathed by everyone but Alice, she has something of a sisterly relationship with her sadist teacher Kabutomushi and is amicable with the also lonely Geji after they become allies.

Added DiffLines:

* YankTheDogsChain: The instant Megumi spots her dearest Alice in Hibarigaoka Prison and goes after her, she is pancaked onto the floor by Geji and Shoichiro out of concerns that Alice is a pawn of the Americans. This also unceremoniously kicks her out of the ArcVillain role she was making for herself, as the BigBad Serena shows up inside the prison only a few pages later.

* YouHaveFailedMe: Ends up on the receiving end of the trope despite all her posturing as the Hibarigaoka Prison director. The moment she puts her loyalty to Alice over whatever the heck it is that the Organization is doing in there, Geji knocks her out and Shoichiro replaces her with Makoto... who ironically has already led Serena inside the prison.

* BigBadWannabe: Megumi appears full of herself in ''Blattodea'' as a terrible leader of a prison-shelter who wants both Chiyuri and Setsuna raped and killed ForTheEvulz. However, she's merely a ArcVillain compared to the proper BigBad Serena. She also has no authority over Shoichiro the security officer and still retains some sympathetic qualities by how she cares about Alice.

* {{Fainting}}: When Megumi finally finds the long lost Alice on the prison cameras, she's so surprised that she screams and comically flops on her back as if she's an actual roach dying of shock.



* WrestlerInAllOfUs: Uses lariats and dropkicks as finishing moves. And holds Geji in a Cobra Twist once.

* OnlySaneWoman: For someone who's repeatedly called a natural-born bloodthirsty murderer who's always thinking up ways to kill everyone she meets, Alice is very reasonable and never really does anything that could make her unsympathetic to readers.

* InconsistentSpelling: Alice, Arisu, Fuji, Fujii. [[InsistentTerminology Everyone, the series' marketing included, calls Alice by her full name with "Alice" in katakana]], but Alice herself says it using homophone kanji. One early scene has Alice clarifying how it's pronounced to a teacher, given how it is a foreign name. Western fans, an omake in ''Manga/AkameGaKill'' and the official 2015 French translation published by Soleil used "Alice" in all instances, but the official 2022 English translation at Manga UP! switches between that and "Arisu". Worth noting is that "Arisu" makes a pun with "Turis(u)" from ''Jackals'', whom she is based on.

* HarmfulToMinors: Just in the first volume of ''Arachnid'', we see a 14~15 years old Alice stumbling on the corpse of her mother, getting molested by her uncle, witnessing his murder, getting branded a killing machine for defending herself from Kumo and finally being forced to kill him in combat. Things only get darker for her from then on.



* ImpaledPalm: As early as the Kamakiri fight. Also of note is when she gets her palms, arms, legs and ''butt'' impaled by Dinoponera's venomous needles. Those wounds from Dino [[ScarsAreForever actually left scars]] on her.

* MurderIsTheBestSolution: "No choice but to kill" is Alice's motto and her diplomacy skills only get worse after she befriends Megumi. In ''Blattodea'', part of Chiyuri's role is to be a more straightfoward Good Girl to contrast with Alice and find peaceful solutions to conflicts which Alice would've ended with violence.

She has been trained by Kabutomushi, who in ''Caterpillar'' tasks her with assassinating Imomushi in order to graduate from the assassin training institute Pomario. After ''Arachnid'', Goki tries to find Alice after she wandered away in the zombie apocalypse... but by ''Blattodea'' the girl instead becomes a "[[Film/IlsaSheWolfOfTheSS She Roach of the SS]]", so to speak, as the cruel director of Hibarigaoka Prison.

Added DiffLines:

* WardensAreEvil: Whose idea even was it to let the 16 years-old misanthropic power hungry PsychoLesbian be in charge of an important prison-shelter? Even Kabutomushi, the SadistTeacher of an OrphanageOfFear, thinks Hibarigaoka Prison is hell on Earth under the roach's leadership.

* NiceJobBreakingItHero:
** Ends up causing the zombie apocalypse by killing the Army Ant Queen in self defense, and really regrets it.
** Alice abandons Megumi out of fear of harming the girl whenever she got too clingly and this only makes things more difficult for herself as she just runs circles in utter despair for a year in the apocalypse. Furthermore, without Alice's influence, Megumi becomes a sexually frustrated pseudonazi director of a prison shelter that does human experiments and gleefully abuses a lot of civilians.



* ProtagonistJourneyToVillain: ''Blattodea'' involves people coercing the once innocent Alice into becoming the new Boss of the genocidal Organization, with the increasingly cynical and violent girl remarking she might enjoy that role after all if she is convinced it is really for the best.



** In ''Blattodea'', Alice starts wanting to get intimate with Hanakamakiri of all people despite his double-faced treatment of her, assuming he's a nice person overall and admiring his elegance in combat. Notably, she's never been portrayed this hot and bothered about anyone else before...

* MasterOfThreads: While Alice's strings aren't [[RazorFloss sharp]] like the usual examples of this trope nor do they have fantastical aspects such as turning [[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventure herself]] or her [[Manga/OnePiece surroundings]] into string, she still has a Paranoia Fuel[=-heavy=] weapon that allows her to control the environment as she pleases without anyone noticing. Her enemies regularly stumble on layers upon layers of traps set from out of nowhere and get restrained and controled or outright hanged and neck-snapped. The strings can also be used as tools to craft barriers, collect underwater air and detect sounds in a 20m radius.
