%%* FiveManBand: Parodied with the Skull Ranger Jacky Five.

* FiveManBand: Parodied with the Skull Ranger Jacky Five.

But there's hints that everything is not as it seems -- don't Jackal's minions seem just a bit too relaxed to be evil? And some of the heroes hardly seem heroic...

* ShoutOut: Some of the poses on this [[http://www.mangahere.com/manga/ratman/c005/27.html page]] of this page look [[Manga/SailorMoon AWFULLY]] [[{{Kinnikuman}} familiar]]...

* AmbiguouslyGay: Shiki hasn't really stated anything directly, but how he constantly touches Shuto and refers to him as cute heavily suggest so.

* BulletCatch: A Jacky does this after an OffscreenTeleportation to grab a piece of concrete just as it was about to hit an unflinching Mirea seen [[http://www.mangahere.com/manga/ratman/c027/9.html here]]. Yes that scene was a CrowningMomentOfAwesome.

* CatGirl: [[spoiler: Rio's ]] costume and codename are based on this.
* CaughtWithYourPantsDown: Shuto accidentally walks in on one of the Jackies taking care of business.

* ImAHumanitarian: Unchain wants nothing more than to eat Ratman.
* ImplausibleDeniability: [[spoiler:Once Shuto has discovered enough to suspect that something's going on, he confronts Crea and demands to know why he was chosen as Ratman and what her real goals are. Instead of telling him, she repeats her implausible reasons from the start of the story, but in monosyllabic half-sentences and without even bothering to look at him.]]

* ParentalAbandonment: Crea and Mirea's parents died when Mirea was little. Rio's [[MissingMom mother]] also died when she was little, partially fueling her desire to become a superhero so that she could save others from a similar fate. Shuto's father is also nowhere to be found, but his situation is less clear.

* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Shuto as Ratman gives a good one to [=ANKaiser=] for purposely putting people in harm's way just to make himself look good.

* SatchelSwitcheroo: At the start of Episode 21 Ana mistakenly grabs the wrong Mr. Boxers plushie. That plushie is actually a drug drop for the dealers.

* SuperpoweredEvilSide: You won't like Ratman when he's angry. Triggering his animal fighting instincts [[spoiler: activates his S-Genes]] and gives him enough of a boost to make 2 A-list heroes run for the hills.

* TheKnightsWhoSaySquee: Shuto as Ratman has one of these towards [=ANKaiser=], to where he forgets he was currently breaking into Kizaki Mansion and asks for his autograph. It's soon afterwards that he receives a BrokenPedestal moment.
* ThereIsAnother: [[spoiler:In Episode 41, Hijiri reveals to Crea that there is someone else other than Ratman who has the S-gene.]]
* ThroughHisStomach: It appears to be Mirea's main course of action to get Shuto's attention, such as making him delicious lunches or giving him extra to eat.

** Proven true as he did not realize she liked him until after Mira sister flat out told him 55 chapters later.

* FacelessGoons: The Jackies.

Not to be confused with Italian superhero parody comic ''{{Rat-Man}}'', the one-time character from [[WesternAnimation/DextersLaboratory The Justice Friends]], the horror novel ''Literature/RatmansNotebooks'', or the strange benefactor from ''VideoGame/{{Portal}}''.

** Another is where their best idea to take on the heavily defended Hero Society HQ, was by simply climbing over the wall to the front door. Shuto even lampshades this.

* ReasonYouSuckSpeech: Shuto as Ratman gives a good one to [=ANKaiser=] for purposely putting people in harm's way just to make himself look good.

* ScarfOfAssKicking: Shuto as Ratman has one.

Not to be confused with Italian superhero parody comic {{Rat-Man}}, the one-time character from [[WesternAnimation/DextersLaboratory The Justice Friends]], the horror novel Literature/RatmansNotebooks, or the strange benefactor from ''VideoGame/{{Portal}}''.

** [[spoiler:Nine years before the story starts, Crea saw Shouichiro Kizaki holding a gun over her parents' bodies and assumed he killed them. He was actually making a vow to avenge their deaths [[BetterManhandleTheMurderWeapon while holding the real killer's weapon]].]] This misunderstanding isn't cleared up until chapter 53.

** A nurse does this in Chapter 42, where Mirea was hugging Shuto she interrupted their their tender moment by stating "[[NotWhatItLooksLike If you are going to continue doing what you are doing, do it somewhere else]]. Easily seen [[http://www.mangahere.com/manga/ratman/c042/22.html here]].
