* WeakButSkilled: Yasu often overexerts herself like never before in the course of a single play (for example, when she injects a sedative into Mitsuuru and Shugo to calm them down in ''Manga/SoulEater'', participates in Pokemon battles in Anime/PokemonTheFirstMovie, fights off a heavily armed Bookman to protect Ayameko while she rewrites Drosselmeyer's story in ''Princess Tutu'', wields a katana in combat in Anime/AngelBeats, sacrifices herself to end the Fractale System in ''Anime/{{Fractale}}'', uses Zantetsuken against Count Draco's army in ''Anime/TheCastleOfCagliostro'', participates in frequent martial arts fights in Film/MightyMorphinPowerRangers, fights using werewolf powers and martial arts in Manga/RosarioPlusVampire and Manga/RosarioPlusVampire Capu2, and fights Koopa's army with her brother and gets some convincing badass moments in Franchise/SuperMarioBros), but she doesn't have to drink bottled water as often as she used to. In one episode, she attributes this to a combination of tai chi practice and karate lessons on Pretty Cure Wonder Island, stating that even after parting ways with her first senseis, she continues to take private karate lessons under Izumi, who is revealed to take martial arts as one of her boyish hobbies.

** Hitori says in her debut episode, "Judging by my overall personality, I'll most likely play a boy whenever I perform with you girls." Boy, was she right! Among the roles she's played are Taichi Yagami in [[Franchise/{{Digimon}} Digimon: Hurricane Touchdown!!]], the title character in WesternAnimation/InspectorGadget, Kerberos Wansard in ''Literature/IsThisAZombie'', an Interpol officer in ''Anime/TheCastleOfCagliostro'', Kamija in ''Madoka Magica'', the Red Ranger in Film/MightyMorphinPowerRangers, an Ohtori-employed security guard in ''Manga/OuranHighSchoolHostClub'', Saizo in ''Manga/RosarioPlusVampire'' and ''Rosario To Vampire Capu2'', Toad in'' Franchise/SuperMarioBros'' and Nina's father in ''Manga/UltraManiac''.

* EveryProperLadyShouldCurtsy: Even Shugo herself curtsies at one point, while wearing a labcoat as Kramer in one scene in WesternAnimation/InspectorGadget. Mitsuuru and Haruki also curtsy during the photo shoot in the prologue to ''Madoka Magica'', and in the closing credits all five performers playing magical girls (including Mitsuuru and Haruki) curtsy in their magical girl outfits, with Shugo taking a photo on her UsefulNotes/Nintendo3DS for the occasion.

* {{invoked}}ViralMarketing: Starting in Literature/{{Kampfer}}, the UsefulNotes/Nintendo3DS is mentioned at least once per play, timing be damned.

* WTHCastingAgency: In-universe; Izayoi is upset she wasn't given the part of Black Star. Yoko is generous enough to have her and Haruki trade parts.
** In ''[[Literature/HaruhiSuzumiya The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya]]'', Bia Hoshigo basically triggers this when she suggests Chiara for Haruhi, Hisato for Kyon, and Shugo for Taniguchi. After a compromise, Chiara and Izayoi and Hisato and Ginga trade parts, and Mitsuuru and Shugo keep their original roles. However, Chiara's reaction is to BLOW UP, forcing Ginga and Shugo to follow her. Shugo then goes into a speech about the fruits of doing your duty before offering to make sure Chiara gets cast as Tsuruya the next time they perform an abridged Literature/HaruhiSuzumiya play (Tsuruya first appears in the next light novel, ''The Sigh of Haruhi Suzumiya''). [[spoiler:She accepts the offer.]]
*** This doesn't stop Hisato from trying to get a new Haruhi and Kyon. It backfired when Jun stalled him long enough for the play to begin before he could talk it over with Ayameko. When the group does ''The Sigh of Haruhi Suzumiya'' later on, Ayameko says, "All the players whose characters appear in the previous installment shall reprise their roles for this and all future installments of Literature/HaruhiSuzumiya -- absolutely no exceptions. And that means you too, Hisato! Oh, and I didn't forget about you, Chiara. You'll be Tsuruya."
** In the prologue of ''Princess Tutu'', Chiara and Mitsuuru are in the running for the part of Ahiru (Hanae is out of the running due to being more experienced at ballet than most of the rest of the cast and Shugo requiring her assistant director to have experience). Instead of invoking this trope, though, the author decided on a coin toss to decide who gets the part. Bia (and in effect, Chiara) chose heads. [[spoiler:They lost. Bia then blows up over the decision before calming down when the author goes "[[WhatTheHellPlayer What the hell, Bia?]]"]]
** In Ultra Maniac, Yasu and Azuki go into a heated competition over the part of Yuta Kirishima.
** Bia is so serious about the author not casting Hanae as Mami in ''Madoka Magica'' (as she doesn't want Hanae to have her head crushed and her body dismembered), she actually threatened to pull ALL her characters from future installments if she played Mami. As a result, Mami will now be played by Yumi. An allusion to Bia's concerns can be found in the prologue, when Hanae tries to pick up a henshin device used by the girls in the anime, only for Chiara to deny her a role on the grounds that Hanae would get smothered to pieces if she picked up the gold henshin device, and Bia does NOT want that to happen (though she apparently considers Chiara herself to be fair game for being killed). Hanae backs off immediately, and Yumi picks up the gold henshin device.

* [[AcmeProducts Ajax Products]]: The Ajax Auto-Gro Rack, which can change anyone's cup size and doesn't blow up when groped, and the Ajax Minature Flamethrower.

** Hitori says in her debut episode, "Judging by my overall personality, I'll most likely play a boy whenever I perform with you girls." Boy, was she right! Among the roles she's played are Taichi Yagami in [[Franchise/{{Digimon}} Digimon: Hurricane Touchdown!!]], the title character in WesternAnimation/InspectorGadget, Kerberos Wansard in ''Literature/IsThisAZombie'', an Interpol officer in ''Anime/TheCastleOfCagliostro'', Kamija in ''Madoka Magica'', the Red Ranger in Film/MightyMorphinPowerRangers, an Ohtori-employed security guard in ''Manga/OuranHighSchoolHostClub'', Saizo in ''Manga/RosarioPlusVampire'' and ''Rosario To Vampire Capu2'', Toad in'' VideoGame/SuperMarioBros'' and Nina's father in ''Manga/UltraManiac''.

** Hanae mentions during preparations for ''[[LightNovel/HaruhiSuzumiya The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya]]'' that her breasts are smaller than her character's. Luckily, Mitsuuru could rectify the situation with fake C-cups he had found in the tiring room. (BTW, Mitsuuru as Haruhi wears fake B-cups.)

** Earlier, she uses an [[WesternAnimation/ClassicDisneyShorts Ajax]] [[AcmeProducts Auto-Gro Rack]] (and a little [[InstantCosplaySurprise help]] from Lyra from the scrapped ''FanFic/PrettyCureMiraiSpark'' movie) to effectively portray Natsuru Seno in LightNovel/{{Kampfer}}.

** In LightNovel/{{Kampfer}}, Mitsuuru as Masumi claims to sleep to Music/NatKingCole, [[Music/FrankSinatra Ole Blue Eyes]], and Michael Madsen (see the RealLife section of RealMenWearPink for more on the latter).

* {{Bifauxnen}}: As seen in LightNovel/{{Kampfer}}, even Chiara looks convincing as a boy, and she also looks cute in a boys' uniform, as seen when the Cures perform ''Manga/OuranHighSchoolHostClub''.

** Hitori says in her debut episode, "Judging by my overall personality, I'll most likely play a boy whenever I perform with you girls." Boy, was she right! Among the roles she's played are Taichi Yagami in [[Franchise/{{Digimon}} Digimon: Hurricane Touchdown!!]], the title character in WesternAnimation/InspectorGadget, Kerberos Wansard in ''LightNovel/IsThisAZombie'', an Interpol officer in ''Anime/TheCastleOfCagliostro'', Kamija in ''Madoka Magica'', the Red Ranger in Film/MightyMorphinPowerRangers, an Ohtori-employed security guard in ''Manga/OuranHighSchoolHostClub'', Saizo in ''Manga/RosarioPlusVampire'' and ''Rosario To Vampire Capu2'', Toad in'' VideoGame/SuperMarioBros'' and Nina's father in ''Manga/UltraManiac''.

* ButForMeItWasTuesday: Same situation as in ''LightNovel/{{Kampfer}}'', but this time Sakura as [[TheDanza Sakura]] actually says the phrase ''and'' uses the wording that led to the phrase in the first place:

** ''Hanae'', of all people, swears a lot when her role in LightNovel/{{Kampfer}} calls for it. Also, Lina drops the F bomb a lot in the prologue to ''Anime/TalesFromEarthsea'' (though she cools off during the staging of the production proper) and throughout Anime/AngelBeats.

* {{Crossdresser}}: Several Cures appearing in an anime reenactment should expect to play at least one male character; even Ginga Yamabuki played Taniguchi in ''[[LightNovel/HaruhiSuzumiya The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya]]''. If and when it happens, Haruki is slated to portray Kokoa Shuzen in [[Manga/RosarioPlusVampire Rosario+Vampire Capu2]]. Here's how it's slated to turn out:

* {{invoked}}TheDanza: In LightNovel/{{Kampfer}}, Sakura Cobain portrays Kaede Sakura. Surprisingly averted in the Manga/CardcaptorSakura cycle of plays, where she instead plays Clow Reed and Eriol Hiragizawa, and the titular Sakura is instead a CrossCastRole played by Haruki.

** In LightNovel/{{Kampfer}}, when Chiara as Natsuru accidentally lets Mikoto's name slip, she mutters to herself, "Oh, merde..." just as Izumi as Mikoto asks how she knew her name.

* FreakOut: Hanae has a mild one after her first scene as Akane in LightNovel/{{Kampfer}}.

* FreudianSlip: It's pretty easy for Chiara to forget that she's "in development" and proclaim herself the flattest of her team whenever someone challenges her ability to play a boy before correcting herself and saying, "No, wait... I'M NOT FLAT! I'm still in development!", as seen in LightNovel/{{Kampfer}} in response to Hana's skepticism about her ability to play a boy.

* OffWithHisHead: Yasu threatens to do this to Haruki if he brings up her role as Dr. Stein. This happens early on in ''[[LightNovel/HaruhiSuzumiya The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya]]'' -- during preparations, yet!

* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: In LightNovel/{{Kampfer}}, Hanae winds up playing a JekyllAndHyde type; the Hyde side of her character is OOC, and though she wavers at first, Hanae quickly starts taking her role seriously and manages to say "fuck" more than a few times. In the prologue to ''Anime/TalesFromEarthsea'', it's revealed that the whole affair left her traumatized, and [[WhatTheHellHero Lina gets called out by Ikuko]] for rubbing it in that Hanae swore quite a bit in LightNovel/{{Kampfer}}. This is otherwise inverted in this series; as this is a gag series, OOC is usually PlayedForLaughs.

* PlayboyBunny: Mitsuuru as Haruhi and Hanae as Mikuru, both in ''[[LightNovel/HaruhiSuzumiya The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya]]''. Mitsuuru pulls it off again as Masumi in LightNovel/{{Kampfer}}.
* {{invoked}} PlayingAgainstType: The usually girly Chiara portrays a {{Shorttank}} (Kasumi/Misty) in Anime/PokemonTheFirstMovie as well as male-to-female GenderBender character Natsuru Seno in LightNovel/{{Kampfer}}. In the latter production, Hanae, who usually is polite, plays the shy-Meganekko[=-=]by-day-[[AxCrazy Gun-Crazy]]-[[ClusterFBomb Cluster-F-Bomber]]-by-night Akane Mishima.

* PrecisionFStrike: Shun as Tezca refers to participants in dead pools as "[[GratuitousGerman scheißekopfen]]" in ''Manga/SoulEater'', and Mitsuuru as Maka yells the S word in frustration earlier in the play. Mitsuuru as Haruhi in ''[[LightNovel/HaruhiSuzumiya The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya]]'' drops an F bomb during the Computer Club extortion scene. (Of course, the word is censored.)

** Hanae says her first swear word ever in response to Izayoi's hammy acting in ''Princess Tutu''. She gets a lot worse in LightNovel/{{Kampfer}}, to the point where there isn't a single part in the performance where she doesn't say at least one word that's even partially asterisked out (though she only drops a few F bombs... [[ClusterFBomb at first]]).
*** Speaking of LightNovel/{{Kampfer}}, we get Chiara's priceless reaction to learning the reason behind the Kampfer War: "What. The. [[AtomicFBomb FUCK!?]]" And this was after she had previously dropped the F bomb only twice in her entire life, both times in the play.

* PrepareToDie: Mitsuuru as Maka to Ayumu as Asura. Also, Hanae as Akane has said "[[Music/GreenDay fuck off and die]]" twice so far in LightNovel/{{Kampfer}}.

* RunningGag: If Chiara and Mitsuuru are competing for the same role, it seems to be a law that Chiara has to pitch a fit over not getting the part (as seen in ''[[LightNovel/HaruhiSuzumiya The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya]]'' and ''Anime/PrincessTutu'').

* {{Shorttank}}: Various Cures play roles that fit this part. Ayameko plays Sweet/Neesha in Anime/PokemonTheFirstMovie, for example. Other Cures that take on a Shorttank role include actual Shorttank Izumi (most notably as Mikoto in LightNovel/{{Kampfer}}), Chiara (who somehow pulls it off as Kasumi/Misty in Anime/PokemonTheFirstMovie and Maelstrom in both installments of ''Kore Wa Zombie Desuka''), and even resident twirl girl Hanae (when her character in LightNovel/{{Kampfer}}, Akane, is in Kampfer mode).

* ThisIsForEmphasisBitch: Surprisingly, ''Hanae'' utilizes this trope ''several'' times as Akane in LightNovel/{{Kampfer}}. For example:

* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: There's plenty, including Yasu and Hiroko, Izumi and Yasu, Shun and Izumi, Ayameko and Chiara, Hitori and Mizuri, Shugo and Sakura, Lina and Michelle, Asa and Yoko, and Yoko and Asa. However, several other Cures act tomboyish during plays, including Chiara as Kasumi/Misty in Anime/PokemonTheFirstMovie, Natsuru in LightNovel/{{Kampfer}} (where, depending on their characters' forms, she and Hanae will be the Tomboy to each other's girly girls), Haruhi in ''Ouran High School Host Club'', and Maelstrom in the ''Kore Wa Zombie Desuka?'' plays (where she's the Tomboy to Michelle's Girly Girl) and even Hanae herself as Akane at several points in LightNovel/{{Kampfer}} (in normal mode, she the Girly Girl to Chiara and Izumi's Tomboys, and in Kampfer mode, she's the Tomboy to Chiara and Shio's Girly Girls).

* {{invoked}}UnsettlingGenderReveal: When Chiara's outfit gets ripped apart in LightNovel/{{Kampfer}}, Mitsuuru has this trope in mind and reveals that "Guts Kingdom's prince [is] actually a girl!" Chiara as Natsuru later does this to Izumi as Mikoto accidentally.

* {{invoked}}ViralMarketing: Starting in LightNovel/{{Kampfer}}, the UsefulNotes/Nintendo3DS is mentioned at least once per play, timing be damned.

* WholesomeCrossdresser: A good portion of the cast, given the fact that there are girls in the cast, and there are always male roles to fill. When Shugo, Yasu, and Shun appear, they always play a male character. (e.g.: In ''Manga/SoulEater'', Shugo is Soul, Yasu is Dr. Stein, and Shun is Tezca; in ''[[LightNovel/HaruhiSuzumiya The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya]]'', Shugo is Kyon, Yasu is Koizumi, and Shun is Okabe; in ''Princess Tutu'', Shugo is the director, Yasu is Autor, and Shun is the narrator; in LightNovel/{{Kampfer}}, Shugo is the director, Yasu is Higashida, and Shun is the assistant director; in ''Anime/TalesFromEarthsea'', Shugo is Arren, Yasu is Ged, and Shun is the king; and in Anime/AngelBeats, Shugo is Otonashi, Yasu is Fujimaki, and Shun is the assistant director) On the flip side, you can always count on Mitsuuru to handle a female character (e.g. Maka in ''Manga/SoulEater'', Haruhi in ''[[LightNovel/HaruhiSuzumiya The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya]]'', Princess Tutu in ''Anime/PrincessTutu'', Masumi in LightNovel/{{Kampfer}}, Therru in ''Anime/TalesFromEarthsea'', and Yuri in Anime/AngelBeats).

** In ''[[LightNovel/HaruhiSuzumiya The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya]]'', Bia Hoshigo basically triggers this when she suggests Chiara for Haruhi, Hisato for Kyon, and Shugo for Taniguchi. After a compromise, Chiara and Izayoi and Hisato and Ginga trade parts, and Mitsuuru and Shugo keep their original roles. However, Chiara's reaction is to BLOW UP, forcing Ginga and Shugo to follow her. Shugo then goes into a speech about the fruits of doing your duty before offering to make sure Chiara gets cast as Tsuruya the next time they perform an abridged LightNovel/HaruhiSuzumiya play (Tsuruya first appears in the next light novel, ''The Sigh of Haruhi Suzumiya''). [[spoiler:She accepts the offer.]]
*** This doesn't stop Hisato from trying to get a new Haruhi and Kyon. It backfired when Jun stalled him long enough for the play to begin before he could talk it over with Ayameko. When the group does ''The Sigh of Haruhi Suzumiya'' later on, Ayameko says, "All the players whose characters appear in the previous installment shall reprise their roles for this and all future installments of LightNovel/HaruhiSuzumiya -- absolutely no exceptions. And that means you too, Hisato! Oh, and I didn't forget about you, Chiara. You'll be Tsuruya."

* TalkingToHerself: Not exactly this, but Ayumu in ''Manga/SoulEater'' has the double role of Medusa Gorgon and the being she's trying to resurrect, Asura.

* CrossCastRole: All installments have at least one, but the Manga/CardcaptorSakura cycle of plays REALLY takes this UpToEleven by doing this to EVERY major character (save for Méilíng Lǐ). Especially hilarious during any of Xiǎoláng Lǐ's {{Shirtless Scene}}s, where Hanae wears chest binders and a skintight flesh-colored top that evokes a mix between BarbieDollAnatomy and an unintentional UncannyValley.

* {{invoked}}FatalMethodActing: Happens once in ''Kore Wa Zombie Desuka'' when Ayameko throws a shuriken at high speed, and it goes straight through Michelle, who dies instantly. Emiru is stunned, stating, "This is the first time ever someone died in this anthology series." After Ichiji does the finger-pricking scene, she carries Michelle's body backstage, and Jun resurrected Michelle in time for the next scene. Taken UpToEleven in ''Madoka Magica'', where Chiara, Asa, Yumi, and Haruki all die multiple times, all as a result of performing the play in the first place. For realism, Yumi ''had'' to be smothered to pieces for real when [[spoiler:Mami finds herself on Charlotte's menu]], and Haruki ran himself and Asa through with his halberd, only having time to say their respective characters' last words before dying. The second time Haruki dies during the play is because Yumi emptied several rounds into him during a FreakOut. At this point, Yasu acknowledges that the cast had run afoul of two of the three [[Film/{{Scream 3}} Rules of a Horror Movie Trilogy]] (specifically, the first two rules) and proceeds to name all three rules.

* AttractiveBentGender: Haruki looks cute in the dress he's wearing in ''Madoka Magica'', so says the general consensus of Cures. Nanami especially says he looks adorable, and her eyes become pink hearts for a few seconds.
** His performance in the Manga/CardcaptorSakura cycle of plays, especially due to the cute dresses he winds up in a lot, smacks of TastesLikeDiabetes.

* {{invoked}} PlayingAgainstType: The usually girly Chiara portrays a {{Shorttank}} (Kasumi/Misty) in Anime/PokemonTheFirstMovie as well as male-to-female GenderBender character Natsuru Seno in LightNovel/{{Kampfer}}. In the latter production, Hanae, who usually is polite, plays the shy-{{Meganekko}}[=-=]by-day-[[AxCrazy Gun-Crazy]]-[[ClusterFBomb Cluster-F-Bomber]]-by-night Akane Mishima.

* WhoWearsShortShorts: Aside from the complete vampire ninja orchestra scene overhaul, there's a comparatively minor costume change compared to the original ''Kore Wa Zombie Desuka?''; one of Michelle's outfits as Seraphim (specifically, the one with the maroonish-brown top) now instead incorporates [[Series/TheDukesOfHazzard Daisy Dukes and flesh-colored tights]].
** Chiara pulls this trope off as Kasumi/Misty in Anime/PokemonTheFirstMovie, Hanae does it during the miscon scene in LightNovel/{{Kampfer}}, and Haruki does it twice, in ''Madoka Magica'' and ''Anime/{{Fractale}}''. In the former, he wears cut-off jean shorts as part of his civilian outfit, and in the latter, he pairs it with ZettaiRyouiki.

* '''Cos-Cure Extravaganza''', by {{thursdays0child}}, a look at ''Franchise/PrettyCure'' related cosplays;

** Hitori says in her debut episode, "Judging by my overall personality, I'll most likely play a boy whenever I perform with you girls." Boy, was she right! Among the roles she's played are Taichi Yagami in [[Franchise/{{Digimon}} Digimon: Hurricane Touchdown!!]], the title character in WesternAnimation/InspectorGadget, Kerberos Wansard in ''LightNovel/IsThisAZombie'', an Interpol officer in ''Anime/TheCastleOfCagliostro'', Kamija in ''Madoka Magica'', the Red Ranger in Film/MightyMorphinPowerRangers, an Ohtori-employed security guard in ''Manga/OuranHighSchoolHostClub'', Saizo in ''Manga/RosarioToVampire'' and ''Rosario To Vampire Capu2'', Toad in'' VideoGame/SuperMarioBros'' and Nina's father in ''Manga/UltraManiac''.

** In the prologue to ''Madoka Magica'', the main cast (the five performers playing magical girls, all in costume, and Lina Eastwood, the voice of Kyubey) are taking photos with each other, the other performers and crew members, and (in Lina's case) the Kyubey animatronic before the play starts. At one point, Ayameko grabs Haruki and lifts him up balletically for a photo. Despite having no formal training, this reminds Haruki of a scene he appeared in for the musical ''Manga/RosarioToVampire Second Year'' while a first year at Mirai Academy, so he plays along.

* CovertPervert: Yasu's perverted side is much more evident when she portrays Gin in Manga/RosarioToVampire.

* {{Crossdresser}}: Several Cures appearing in an anime reenactment should expect to play at least one male character; even Ginga Yamabuki played Taniguchi in ''[[LightNovel/HaruhiSuzumiya The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya]]''. If and when it happens, Haruki is slated to portray Kokoa Shuzen in [[Manga/RosarioToVampire Rosario+Vampire Capu2]]. Here's how it's slated to turn out:

** Also averted in [[Manga/RosarioToVampire Rosario+Vampire Capu2]]; as it's based on the anime, and not the manga, Shugo doesn't get to play a boy disguised as a girl. This is probably to her relief (though Tsukune does wear hakama pants as part of his disguise in the scene in question).

* WeakButSkilled: Yasu often overexerts herself like never before in the course of a single play (for example, when she injects a sedative into Mitsuuru and Shugo to calm them down in ''Manga/SoulEater'', participates in Pokemon battles in Anime/PokemonTheFirstMovie, fights off a heavily armed Bookman to protect Ayameko while she rewrites Drosselmeyer's story in ''Princess Tutu'', wields a katana in combat in Anime/AngelBeats, sacrifices herself to end the Fractale System in ''Anime/{{Fractale}}'', uses Zantetsuken against Count Draco's army in ''Anime/TheCastleOfCagliostro'', participates in frequent martial arts fights in Film/MightyMorphinPowerRangers, fights using werewolf powers and martial arts in Manga/RosarioToVampire and Manga/RosarioToVampire Capu2, and fights Koopa's army with her brother and gets some convincing badass moments in Franchise/SuperMarioBros), but she doesn't have to drink bottled water as often as she used to. In one episode, she attributes this to a combination of tai chi practice and karate lessons on Pretty Cure Wonder Island, stating that even after parting ways with her first senseis, she continues to take private karate lessons under Izumi, who is revealed to take martial arts as one of her boyish hobbies.

** Also, since Chiara's been confirmed to play Kurumu in the upcoming adaptation of [[Manga/RosarioToVampire Rosario+Vampire]], this trope is expected in the prologue (along with her pitching a fit over Mitsuuru getting the part of Moka). The reason? Whereas Chiara is an A-cup, Kurumu is a G-cup.

* SharpDressedWoman: Shugo as Prince Charming.

* ACupAngst / BigBraToFill

* PassThePopcorn: In the ''Anime/PrincessTutu'' episode, Shugo, Yasu, and Shun eat popcorn and converse while watching Hanae give ballet lessons to participants in the production that require ballet lessons for their roles (including, but not limited to, Chiara, Mitsuuru, Hisato, Ayameko, and Tessalia--all of who are wearing the clothes they arrived in, meaning yes, Hisato's [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments still wearing that tutu over his casual outfit]]).

* OneMarioLimit: Lampshaded by Chiara in ''Manga/OuranHighSchoolHostClub''; when she draws her slip and winds up getting the part of Haruhi Fujioka, she says, "At least I'll be playing ''someone'' named Haruhi. Arguably less famous, but still the only other one to be remembered a lot in anime circles."

* ZettaiRyouiki: Surprisingly, ''Haruki'' pulls off Grade S in [[Manga/RosarioToVampire Rosario+Vampire Capu2]].
** Haruki is basically a sucker for this trope any time he has to do a play while wearing a short skirt. Another example of him wearing ZettaiRyouiki is as Ayumu in Masou Shoujo form in the ''Kore Wa Zombie Desu ka?'' plays. He also pulls it off as Kyoko Sakura in ''Madoka Magica'' and Enri Granitz in ''Anime/{{Fractale}}''.

* NWordPrivileges: Hanae gets booed for saying "white trash", earning her a scolding from Shugo (as the same gringos that boo her for perceived racism had already booed twice over issues TooSoon to be touched so lightly).

** Later, Shugo takes a snipe at Creator/FourKidsEntertainment's CulturalTranslation policies by mentioning "jelly doughnuts"... only to be [[TooSoon booed]] by several gringos who are Franchise/YuGiOh fans (recently, TV Tokyo and NAS yanked the Anime/YuGiOh license from 4Kids for allegedly unscrupulous accounting practices).

* {{invoked}}TooSoon: Parodied; Emi gets booed for bringing up Arab's oil, which doesn't sit well with some gringos who haven't yet gotten over the Arab Oil Embargo. Shugo makes a similar mistake regarding making fun of Creator/FourKidsEntertainment while the company is facing legal troubles over the Franchise/YuGiOh franchise. Unfortunately for her, the very same gringos are also unrepentant 4Kids supporters.
* [[OneMarioLimit Two Haruhi Limit]]: Lampshaded by Chiara in ''Manga/OuranHighSchoolHostClub''; when she draws her slip and winds up getting the part of Haruhi Fujioka, she says, "At least I'll be playing ''someone'' named Haruhi. Arguably less famous, but still the only other one to be remembered a lot in anime circles."

* WeakButSkilled: Yasu often overexerts herself like never before in the course of a single play (for example, when she injects a sedative into Mitsuuru and Shugo to calm them down in ''Manga/SoulEater'', participates in Pokemon battles in Anime/PokemonTheFirstMovie, fights off a heavily armed Bookman to protect Ayameko while she rewrites Drosselmeyer's story in ''Princess Tutu'', wields a katana in combat in Anime/AngelBeats, sacrifices herself to end the Fractale System in ''Anime/{{Fractale}}'', uses Zantetsuken against Count Draco's army in ''Anime/TheCastleOfCagliostro'', participates in frequent martial arts fights in Film/MightyMorphinPowerRangers, fights using werewolf powers and martial arts in Manga/RosarioToVampire and Manga/RosarioToVampire Capu2, and fights Koopa's army with her brother and gets some convincing badass moments in SuperMarioBros), but she doesn't have to drink bottled water as often as she used to. In one episode, she attributes this to a combination of tai chi practice and karate lessons on Pretty Cure Wonder Island, stating that even after parting ways with her first senseis, she continues to take private karate lessons under Izumi, who is revealed to take martial arts as one of her boyish hobbies.

* ShoujoAi: Subverted; Emiru just happened to play the boy that kissed Asa's character at the end of ''Manga/SoulEater''. [[GirlOnGirlIsHot It didn't stop Bia Hoshigo from chuckling about it, though.]]
** DoubleSubversion: It should be noted that Emiru acknowledges that Asa belongs to Yoko, not her.

* BadassLongcoat: Hitori wears a beige one as InspectorGadget.

** Hitori says in her debut episode, "Judging by my overall personality, I'll most likely play a boy whenever I perform with you girls." Boy, was she right! Among the roles she's played are Taichi Yagami in [[Franchise/{{Digimon}} Digimon: Hurricane Touchdown!!]], the title character in InspectorGadget, Kerberos Wansard in ''LightNovel/IsThisAZombie'', an Interpol officer in ''Anime/TheCastleOfCagliostro'', Kamija in ''Madoka Magica'', the Red Ranger in Film/MightyMorphinPowerRangers, an Ohtori-employed security guard in ''Manga/OuranHighSchoolHostClub'', Saizo in ''Manga/RosarioToVampire'' and ''Rosario To Vampire Capu2'', Toad in'' VideoGame/SuperMarioBros'' and Nina's father in ''Manga/UltraManiac''.

** In InspectorGadget, Hitori's pants get pulled down by her robotic double during a fight scene. She's wearing powder blue boxers.

** Hitori gets this twice in character as InspectorGadget: the first time, when she as Gadget gets caught in an explosion, and the second time, when Maria as Dr. Claw crushes her chip.

* EveryProperLadyShouldCurtsy: Even Shugo herself curtsies at one point, while wearing a labcoat as Kramer in one scene in InspectorGadget. Mitsuuru and Haruki also curtsy during the photo shoot in the prologue to ''Madoka Magica'', and in the closing credits all five performers playing magical girls (including Mitsuuru and Haruki) curtsy in their magical girl outfits, with Shugo taking a photo on her UsefulNotes/Nintendo3DS for the occasion.

* GroinAttack: Good thing a girl (Rizuka) is playing the guru training Hitori as InspectorGadget; otherwise, someone would never have kids unless Jun was on hand to perform a healing spell on him.

* HowDoIShotWeb: Hitori has a temporary cyborg body (made possible by Jun's magic) when she portrays InspectorGadget. Predictably, she has to be shown the ropes by Erika.

*** Maria as Dr. Claw threatens to do this to Shugo as Kramer if she doesn't remove the chip inside Hitori as InspectorGadget. However, she gives her points for merely locating it before she had fainted.

** Shugo plays the villain's henchman in InspectorGadget.

* ProductPlacement: A Yahoo! billboard features twice so far: in InspectorGadget after Hitori's car accident ends with her Chevette knocking the billboard over onto the limousine, and in ''Kore Wa Zombie Desuka'' when Hanae knocks one over as a KickTheDog moment for Chris in her first official appearance (i.e. not as Takeshi Kurusu), and it nearly crashes onto Michelle before Haruki tackles her out of the way. Both times, the Yahoo! yodel ("YAHOOOOOO-OOO!") plays as the billboard falls.

* ShirtlessScene: Shugo and Yasu get a couple while in male bodies. However, the most notorious ShirtlessScene has to go to Hitori in the scene where Dr. Claw has InspectorGadget at his mercy. Fortunately, Hitori's magic-induced cyborg form has no chest covering, as her inner gizmos are in plain sight with her top off, so nothing inappropriate there!

* SoundEffects: All over the place in InspectorGadget; for example, after Hitori crashes her car it hits a billboard, which collapses on the limousine as the Yahoo yodel plays (it's even onomatopoeia-ized as "YAHOOOOOO-OOO!", complete with the quotation marks), and later, "[[JeopardyThinkingMusic Think!]]" plays when Hitori is trying to figure out how to trip up two jewelry store burglars.

* VoiceChangeling: A side-effect of Hitori's magic-induced cyborg form is that she always speaks using InspectorGadget's voice (supplied in the Japanese version by Creator/TesshoGenda and in the English version by Creator/MauriceLaMarche).

* {{invoked}} OneOfUs: Several Cures display a knowledge of Huttese and Klingon, particularly the swearing.

* PardonMyKlingon: In ''Anime/TalesFromEarthsea'', Hiroko, who normally never swears, yells "E chu ta!" and is called out on her language by Lina, who apparently is [[OneOfUs fluent in Huttese]].

* ArsonMurderAndJaywalking: When Shugo as Kyon is naming aliens, she names those that have played aliens: [[Series/StarTrekTheOriginalSeries Leonard Nimoy]], [[Film/StarTrek Zachary Quinto]], and Nikki Hill[[note]]This former Chippendale Dancer played the eponymous P.I. in the DirectToVideo film ''Alien Private Eye''[[/note]].

* PassThePopcorn: In the ''Anime/PrincessTutu'' episode, Shugo, Yasu, and Shun eat popcorn and converse while watching Hanae give ballet lessons to participants in the production that require ballet lessons for their roles (including, but not limited to, Chiara, Mitsuuru, Hisato, Ayameko, and Tessalia--all of who are wearing the clothes they arrived in, meaning yes, Hisato's [[CrowningMomentOfFunny still wearing that tutu over his casual outfit]]).
