TRS has decided that Schoolgirl Lesbians is no longer a valid trope. Removing all links to the page and changing them to more appropriate pages if one can be found


* SchoolgirlLesbians: Parodied by Futaba, whose inexplicable lust for Poemi could only be more obvious if she wore a neon sign reading "TAKE ME, I'M YOURS". Poemi still doesn't notice, though, despite the fact that Futaba actually does get her between the sheets on at least one occasion. Talk about oblivious.

----
* BlushSticker: Poemi gains them when she transforms.
* BreastExpansion: Puni Puni Poemi's chest is noticeably far larger than her normal form's. Justified since she's... well... 10.
* ClarkKenting: Spoofed when the sisters fail to realize that Poemi and Puni Puni Poemi are the same person. Then when they finally do realize it, they [[LampshadeHanging wonder why they didn't figure it out sooner]].
* CrucifiedHeroShot: Parodied in the scene in which Poemi knocks down the cross in which her father (and mother. And robot dog) is crucified, leading her to repeat the scene with the usual uber-dramatic sound effects. Plus, this takes place AgainstTheSettingSun.
* TheDeterminator: Parodied: Poemi notes that she is "too stupid to know when to give up."
* TheDitz: Poemi's stupidity is a constant source of jokes and [[LampshadeHanging Lampshade Hangings]].
* DoItYourselfThemeTune: Yumiko Kobayashi sings both the opening and ending themes.
* DrivesLikeCrazy: Poemi does this ''with a foot-propelled scooter''.
* EnjoKosai: Poemi used her usual subtlety to deal with a Gyaru on a subsidized date.
* {{Expy}}: Poemi is a younger [[Anime/ExcelSaga Excel]], obviously.
* GenkiGirl
* GirlishPigtails
* HomoeroticSubtext: Poemi and Futaba, especially during the ending. ...Wait. ''Sub''text?!
* IdiotHero: With an emphasis on the "idiot."
* InsistentTerminology: Even while transformed, Poemi still prefers to answer to "Kobayashi".
* JapanesePoliteness: Parodied when Poemi meets the sisters and bows so enthusiastically that she cracks her head on the coffee table.
-->'''Mitsuki:''' Oh, you don't have to bleed over everything just to be polite.
-->'''Poemi:''' It's just the Japanese etiquette!
* LargeHam: Poemi is the main one.
* LateForSchool: Played straight in one instance, but inverted in another where Poemi leaves at four o'clock in the morning and still hurries toward school. She arrives so early she falls asleep in class the next day.
* LethalChef
* MotorMouth: Poemi may beat even Excel at this category.
* NoFourthWall: Not so much a case of breaking the fourth wall as a case of never even considering building one. Considering Poemi's tendency to refer to herself with the name of her real-life voice actress and to Nabeshin as the director, she seems to be having trouble with other walls besides the fourth.
* NoIndoorVoice: Between that and the MotorMouth, Poemi's English V.A. remarked that she blew out her voice on the first day of recording.
* RedStringOfFate: Treated as a corporeal string that forcibly drags Poemi around the city.
* SayMyName: Futaba and Poemi get a really long series of these towards the end of the second episode.
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Poemi/Poemy
* StandingInHell: Lampshade hung when Poemi complains about the punishment being outdated in modern Japanese schools.
* TakeThat: One sequence involves Poemi beating up a stereotypical ''[[GyaruGirl kogal]]'' girl, a guy partaking in EnjoKosai, a bunch of {{Delinquent}}s, a stereotypical {{Otaku}}, and a guy playing an {{Eroge}}.
* ThirdPersonPerson: Poemi. Er, I mean, Kobayashi.
* TransformationSequence: Parodied with a transformation involving a dead fish which automatically strips Poemi naked — except for her socks, which she has to remove manually before she can take her magical form.
* TransformationTrinket: A dead fish.
* WrestlerInAllOfUs: Poemi lands a German Suplex on a guy for playing h-games on his computer during the day. Well, playing them in the ''afternoon'', anyway. She also performs a ''textbook'' Sharpshooter on [[LawyerFriendlyCameo totally-not-Sally-the-Witch-honest]] in the very first scene.

----
* MarsNeedsWomen: K's reason for why the aliens are invading Earth.
* ObliviousToLove: Parodied: K is oblivious to Poemi's crush on him, despite the fact that she's about as easy to ignore as a [[GenkiGirl stampeding]] [[NoIndoorVoice rhino]], and Poemi is in turn oblivious to Futaba's crush on her, despite the fact that Futaba makes no attempt to hide her feelings and even gets Poemi naked and into bed with her at one point.
* PinkGirlBlueBoy: Used for some of the faceless background characters and for K's parents.
* TomatoInTheMirror: K finds out that he's a tentacle monster alien. Never mind that he lives with his parents, who are obviously tentacle monster aliens. Or that apparently his limbs are all fake and that they pop off easily to reveal tentacles. Or that in one scene he goes to school riding a ''UFO''.
* TheUnTwist: Parodied with the revelation that K is an OctopoidAlien. The show makes absolutely no attempt to hide it, and K's shock and horror over his TomatoInTheMirror realization just ends up making him look dense.
