* '''Tarant Shank''' - WhiteHairedPrettyBoy and a CompleteMonster of a SpacePirate. Makes a classic entrance as a KnightOfCerebus, but Seina's luck tends to undercut him anticlimactically. Implied to have [[InLoveWithYourCarnage a crush on Kiriko.]]

* BottleFairy (Amane)

* {{Pointless Band-Aid}}

* XanatosRoulette (It's been theorized that Lady Seto had planned for most of Seina's career since their first meeting -- including the wedding fiasco.)

* '''Seto Kamiki Jurai''' - Feared by most of the galaxy as the "Oni (Devil) Princess of Jurai", she's a high-ranking member of Jurai's royal family, [[TheManBehindTheMan The Woman Behind The Emperor]], and Tenchi's [[strike:great-grandmother]] [[strike:great-great-great]] [[strike: grandfather's grandmother]] grandfather's stepmother's mother. She's infamous for her use and arguable mastery of both the XanatosGambit and BatmanGambit, and also loves [[JerkAss messing with people and their love lives for the lulz]]. She makes Seina her ''special'' friend early on...

* [=~The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything~=] (Technically subverted, since we do see pillaging aplenty. However, Seina is only seen in class ''once'' in the entire series.)

** YourMileageMayVary on this interpretation. The pirates call them "dogfaces", and this troper found them far more canine than feline.

* RapeAsComedy (Of Machines by Machines: [=NaBiko=] to NB. NB suffers a nervous breakdown for the next several episodes -- all played for laughs.)

* BeyondTheImpossible (Mostly in regards to how much destiny well screw over/aid Seina in any give episode.)

* NightmareFuel ([[spoiler: Upon taking control of the mech in Episode 24, Seina uses the force of his will to slowly crush a ship into a small ball, complete with a shot of the horrified crew. It's a very strange scene for such a lighthearted show.]]) Somehow made worse by the fact that the usual CrowningMusicofAwesome starts playing ''as it happens''. Picture "The Rising Spirit" playing while Gaara crushes people. It's that much of a disconnect.

* AuthorAvatar (NB for Shinichi Watanabe, which is unusual considering that he's better known for using [[ExcelSaga Nabeshin]] as this.)

* NightmareFuelUnleaded ([[spoiler: Upon taking control of the mech in Episode 24, Seina uses the force of his will to slowly crush a ship into a small ball, complete with a shot of the horrified crew. It's a very strange scene for such a lighthearted show.]]) Somehow made worse by the fact that the usual CrowningMusicofAwesome starts playing ''as it happens''. Picture "The Rising Spirit" playing while Gaara crushes people. It's that much of a disconnect.
** YourMileageMayVary, see Crowning Moment of Awesome above.

* BadassBlink (Kiriko)

** Not just his {{Harem}} too. After getting into an accident while apart from the harem, a lady doctor shows more than a glancing interest in him and tries to jump him. He gets away, but not without a lip-stick stain on the cheek.

** YourMileageMayVary on this interperetation. The pirates call them "dogfaces", and this troper found them far more canine than feline.

* HumongousMecha (Seina gets to pilot one in episode 24.)

* TakeOurWordForIt: The horribleness of the pixelated spot dished out by Academy night security.

* [[EverythingsCuterWithKittens Everything's Cuter With Cat]][[EverythingsBetterWithBunnies -Rabbits]] (Fuku and Ryo-Oh-Ki.)

******* This troper just wants to point out that he watch Parallel Adventure Dual, and while the screen said Zinv the main Charcters actually refered to it as Genebu
