8	----
9	* BlushSticker: Poemi gains them when she transforms.
10	* BreastExpansion: Puni Puni Poemi's chest is noticeably far larger than her normal form's. Justified since she's... well... 10.
11	* 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]].
12	* 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.
13	* CuteButCacophonic: She practically screams everything she says at the top of her lungs.
14	* TheDeterminator: Parodied: Poemi notes that she is "too stupid to know when to give up."
15	* TheDitz: Poemi's stupidity is a constant source of jokes and [[LampshadeHanging Lampshade Hangings]].
16	* DoItYourselfThemeTune: Yumiko Kobayashi sings both the opening and ending themes.
17	* DrivesLikeCrazy: Poemi does this ''with a foot-propelled scooter''.
18	* EnjoKosai: Poemi used her usual subtlety to deal with a Gyaru on a subsidized date.
19	* {{Expy}}: Poemi is a younger [[Anime/ExcelSaga Excel]], obviously.
20	* GenkiGirl
21	* GirlishPigtails
22	* HomoeroticSubtext: Poemi and Futaba, especially during the ending. ...Wait. ''Sub''text?!
23	* IdiotHero: With an emphasis on the "idiot."
24	* InsistentTerminology: Even while transformed, Poemi still prefers to answer to "Kobayashi".
25	* JapanesePoliteness: Parodied when Poemi meets the sisters and bows so enthusiastically that she cracks her head on the coffee table.
26	-->'''Mitsuki:''' Oh, you don't have to bleed over everything just to be polite.
27	-->'''Poemi:''' It's just the Japanese etiquette!
28	* LargeHam: Poemi is the main one.
29	* 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.
30	* LethalChef
31	* MotorMouth: Poemi may beat even Excel at this category.
32	* 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.
33	* NoIndoorVoice: Between that and the MotorMouth, Poemi's English V.A. remarked that she blew out her voice on the first day of recording.
34	* RedStringOfFate: Treated as a corporeal string that forcibly drags Poemi around the city.
35	* SayMyName: Futaba and Poemi get a really long series of these towards the end of the second episode.
36	* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Poemi/Poemy
37	* StandingInTheHall: Lampshade hung when Poemi complains about the punishment being outdated in modern Japanese schools.
38	* 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}}.
39	* ThirdPersonPerson: Poemi, or rather “Kobayashi”.
40	* 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.
41	* TransformationTrinket: A dead fish.
42	* 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.
43	--> '''Puni Puni Poemi ([[InsistentTerminology Called Kobayashi]]):''' I mean, seriously, these are for nights!

50	----
51	* AuthorAvatar
52	* DeathIsCheap: [[spoiler:Comes back to life thanks to Kumi-Kumi's acupuncture skills.]]
53	** [[spoiler: [[HandWave He's the director,]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vS2DwSlKnL4 fuck off.]] ]]
54	* FunnyAfro: This is probably the reason his English dub actor was told to think of him as "a white Creator/RichardRoundtree. You know, [[Film/{{Shaft}} Shaft]], only white."

57	[[folder:Kumi-Kumi]]

62	* DeathIsCheap: [[spoiler:Comes back to life thanks to her acupuncture skills.]]
63	** [[spoiler:[[FridgeLogic Even though she was dead too]].]]
64	* RepetitiveName: '''Kumi'''-'''Kumi'''

67	[[folder:K]]
68	!!K
69	-> '''Voiced by:''' Ryu Itou (Japanese), Mark X. Laskowski (English)
70	[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/k_puni_puni_poemy_5802.jpg]]
71	----
72	* MarsNeedsWomen: K's reason for why the aliens are invading Earth.
73	* 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.
74	* PinkGirlBlueBoy: Used for some of the faceless background characters and for K's parents.
75	* 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''.
76	* TheUnTwist: Parodied with the revelation that K is an {{Octopoid Alien\|s}}. 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.

79	[[folder:Mage Queen]]
80	!!Mage Queen
81	-> '''Voiced by:''' Yumiko Nakanishi (Japanese), Creator/TiffanyGrant (English)

83	----
84	* {{Expy}}: Her design is very obviously lifted from Creator/LeijiMatsumoto's female characters
85	[[/folder]]

88	!!Alien Henchmen
89	-> '''Alien 1 voiced by:''' Creator/DaisukeKishio (Japanese), Creator/AndyMcAvin (English)

94	[[caption-width-right:250:Alien 2]]
95
96	----
97	* GagPenis: They both have very strange and prominent dangly bits.
98	* GainaxEnding: [[spoiler:The two aliens were Nabeshin and Kumi-Kumi the whole time! You know, despite the fact that the aliens were the ones who killed them in the first place!]] K lampshades the ending by screaming "What kind of corner cutting is this?!"
99	* ItsASmallNetAfterAll: Subverted, when the aliens trying to use the Net to learn about Earth [[TheInternetIsForPorn they find nothing but porn]]. And they are absolutely fascinated by it.
100	[[/folder]]
101
102	!!The Aasu Sisters
103	[[folder:In General]]
104	* NumericalThemeNaming: Each of the Aasu sisters' given names is derived from a number from one to seven, starting with the youngest one — which means their parents were counting down. What would have happened had they reached zero?
105	* StrangeSalute: At one point, the Aasu sisters all do a very peculiar salute which one of the English voice actors described as the "international sign for cameltoe."
106	[[/folder]]
107
108	[[folder:Nanase Aasu]]
109	!!Nanase Aasu
110	-> '''Voiced by:''' Creator/AyaHisakawa (Japanese), Creator/KellyManison (English)
111	[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/nanase_aasu_6121.jpg]]
112	----
113	* PetalPower: Parodied with Nanase's ability, since the only "power" of her "Earth Dance of Flowers" is that [[WhatKindOfLamePowerIsHeartAnyway they look pretty]].
114	[[/folder]]
115
116	[[folder:Mutsumi Aasu]]
117	!!Mutsumi Aasu
118	-> '''Voiced by:''' Creator/TomokoKawakami (Japanese), Creator/AmandaWinnLee [[note]] credited as "Yu Haul" [[/note]] (English)
119	[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mutsumi_aasu_5800.jpg]]
120	----
121	* ACupAngst: Mutsumi reveals that she would use Poemi's magic to make her bust much bigger. This is despite the fact that she's pretty decently endowed as it is.
122	* {{Expy}}: Mutsumi DOES look like [[Anime/ExcelSaga Ropponmatsu]], doesn't she?
123	* TheIdiotFromOsaka: She inexplicably speaks in Kansai dialect, translated as a Brooklyn accent in the English version.
124	[[/folder]]
125
126	[[folder:Itsue Aasu]]
127	!!Itsue Aasu
128	-> '''Voiced by:''' Creator/KotonoMitsuishi (Japanese), Creator/LarissaWolcott (English)
129	[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/itsue_aasu_6123.jpg]]
130	----
131	* {{Dominatrix}}: That's why she has that whip.
132	* MeaningfulName: Her name comes from itsu (five) (for which another word is "go"), making her the 5th of the Aasu Sisters.
133	* SpinToDeflectStuff: She can channel her Earth Barrier Shield on her whip and then spin it, making it function as a detection shield.
134	* WhipOfDominance: She wields a whip as her weapon, due to the fact she [[WeaponsOfTheirTrade actually works as a dominatrix]], and she has expected the bossy and domineering attitude.
135	[[/folder]]
136
137	[[folder:Shii Aasu]]
138	!!Shii Aasu
139	-> '''Voiced by:''' Creator/OmiMinami (Japanese), Creator/MonicaRial (English)

141	----
142	* BigBreastPride: Shii enjoys teasing her sisters about the size of their breasts.
143	* DCupDistress: The main reason Shii wanted Poemi to live with the Aasu? Because she needed a place to rest her enormous knockers (Poemi's head). It is later revealed that she would use Poemi's magic to make her boobs much smaller.
144	* {{Expy}}: Of Hyatt from ''Anime/ExcelSaga''. They even share the same voice actors.
145	* TheImmodestOrgasm: Her giant boobs are also extremely sensitive, meaning she'll often moan or gasp while either she, someone else, or some''thing'' else touches them.
146	* MarshmallowHell: Frequently subjects others to this, as a way of relieving her back pain.
147	[[/folder]]
148

160	[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/futaba_aasu_5798.jpg]]
161	----
162	* DecoyProtagonist: [[spoiler:Parodied; Poemi is obviously the protagonist, but Nabeshin claims at the end that it was actually Futaba, who then achieves Poemi's dreams in her place in The Stinger.]]
163	* {{Expy}}: Looks and acts a lot like an exaggerated version of Tomoyo from ''Manga/CardcaptorSakura''.
164	* HomoeroticSubtext: Poemi and Futaba, especially during the ending. ...Wait. ''Sub''text?!
165	* SayItWithHearts: When Futaba tells Poemi she wants to see her transformation.

174	----
175	* TheBabyOfTheGroup: Only barely avoids being literal, as she's the youngest of the sisters by far at 4.
176	* OracularUrchin: Spoofed by Hitomi, who has accurate but completely useless visions of the future.
