* AdaptedOut: Though mostly faithful to the manga, the anime ignores the ''Revolution at the Mall'' chapter outright, skipping straight to the introduction of Amarariruku after Shy masters her fire powers.

* PracticallyJoker: Kufufu. Green Hair, clown-like makeup, twisted sense of humor revealing a psychotic outlook, and an AffablyEvil demeanor. Yep, definite inspiration from TheJoker.

* ShowWithinAShow: "Rise! Civil Revolution", a popular anime where {{Magical Girl}}s fight against the [[CorruptCorporateExecutive evil Xexecutive]]. It's been running for [[LongRunners 30 years]]! It's likely a nod to ''Franchise/PrettyCure''.

* NoHoldsBarredBeatdown: Stardust gives one to Shy while simultaneously delivering a [[BreakingSpeech breaking speech ]] that she [[ShooTheDog should give up on being a hero]] since he believes that she is to nice to be a hero. [[spoiler: It doesn't work.]]

* AdultHater: Amarariruku are outright hostile towards both adults and the sudden boom of Superheroes, intending to rid the world of them outright for the children. They have a similarly dim view on teenagers, as they're willing to either use them as vessels to further their goals. Or in the case of Teru and her allies, outright murder them due to being heroes themselves.

* In the anime dub, when Spirits calls Shy to invite her to the orbital station, she says she's calling ''Film/FromRussiaWithLove''.

* BackFromTheDead: [[spoiler: It is eventually revealed that Sveta is Spirits mother Lenya who was resurrected as a member of the Amalareiks]]

* TheCavalryArrivesLate: After the battle against Sveta and Kfufu is over, Stardust and Lady Black arrive at the scene. Realising that the enemies have already left and the situation is under control, Stadust soon leaves again to report to Uni-Lord while Lady Black tends to the civilians who were caught in Sveta's Amalareiks.

* {{Fingore}}: How Stardust removed Stigma's ring from his friend: He cut of the whole finger!

* FlyingBrick: All heroes have enhanced durability and strength by default, but only the American hero Century and the russian heroine [[MadeOfAir Spirits]] can also fly.

** The Amalareiks can turn their surroundings into a space inside their hearts (which is also called Amalareiks), essentially creating a {{Place Of Power}} around them which prevents any outside interference and is inescapable from the inside. Normal humans lose consciousness inside this field and can even be controlled by the Amalareiks.

-->'''Teru:''' A [[NewTransferStudent tranfer student]]? [[LeaningOnTheFourthWall Is this a manga or something?]]

* NebulousEvilOrganisation: Amalareiks, the organisation lead by Stigma.

* NextSundayAD: The heroes are said to have appeared mid-21th century and an unclear amount of time has passed since then[[note]] The American hero Century is seen in chapter one as one of the heroes who appeared first, so it propably hasn't been to long[[/note]], but the technology doesn't seem to have advanced at all, with the sole exception of the heroes headquarter which is a [[SpaceStation space station]].

-->'''Lady Black:''' Temperature drop after beeing wounded and the amount of blood you lost after that. I'd say that this is very much a "big deal"!
* OrphanageOfLove: Yurii Orphange

* RedemptionEqualsDeath: [[spoiler: Since Sveta is [[BackFromTheDead Spirits' dead mother Lenya who was brought back by Stigma]], her body is only a construct created by her own heart. When Spirits' manages to reach her mother with her feelings, her personal heart-space shatters and her body begins to disappear. Before she dies completely, she gives the heroes valuable information about the Amalareiks and has [[OneLastSmoke one last drink]] with her daughter.]]

* MagicalGirlWarrior: Shy/Teru is basically this with a superhero skin. She [[KidHero is 14]] - much younger than other heroes, has a TransformationTrinket (Her Bracelets), a MentorMascot ([=EBIO=]/"Shrimpy"), ElementalPowers (fire), and is as much taking on the darkness in people's hearts (See Episode 2 / Chapters 3-4) as defeating criminals.
