* TheUnfairSex: A plot point is that the Gaul code forbid men to hit women; Caesar even created the female legionaries platoon to exploit this fact (although the same code, according to Asterix, has no problem with Obelix knocking a woman's spear out of her hands and slinging her under his arm).

* CoversAlwaysLie: The cover gives the impression that Asterix is quite flustered by Bravura's attentions. It is really not the case, since he goes as far as hitting her when she forcefully kisses him.

* KickTheSonOfABitch: Given it's the closest thing she gets to some karmic feedback for all the trouble she causes in the village, it's hard not to smile when Bravura gets a punch in the eye from one of the female legionaries.

* StatusQuoIsGod: The last plot-relevant appearance of Caesar in ''Asterix and Son'' promise to rebuild the Gaulish village after it was burned down, and it was by the next album. This story completely ignores that and now he's planning to destroy them again.

* AbhorrentAdmirer: Bravura is less than subtle about her attraction towards Asterix, which he doesn't take kindly to since she comes on too strong and is also sowing a lot of discord in the village.

* DoubleStandardAbuseFemaleOnMale: Bravura is constantly sexually (well, as much as she can in a kid's series) assaulting Asterix and nobody bats an eyelash, but when he finally lashes out, he's exiled. Getafix is the only person who objects to this, and even then his objections are based more on how important Asterix is to the village's defence than the decision actually being unfair. Cacofonix also receives a black eye from a woman in the village, although he already has a long history of being beaten up by villagers of both sexes anyway.
