** Coil himself has nothing but this to say after Good Dog sneaks up on Aegis and Kid Win under a cardboard box, cons Kid Win into a ride on his hoverboard, then beats the crap out of a bunch of E88 goons with [=CQC=]. Especially when Kid Win lampshades the whole thing while riding with Sunny.

* ABoyAndHisX: A girl and her doG.
* AlwaysABiggerFish: After Emma enjoys her last bullying attempt on Taylor, her mirth is suddenly stymied by the fact that several ABB punks are now on her case.
* AndroclesLion: Taylor and Sunny first meet Kayden and Aster on one of their walks around the town, and they hit it off on account of Sunny playing peek-a-boo with Aster. Later, when Purity is tasked to destroy the shrine and disrupt Protectorate attention by Kaiser, she stops when she sees the girl and her dog in the courtyard playing her flute, and instead sits down and has tea with her.



* OneDegreeOfSeparation: A cousin of one of the ABB gang members that ends up helping Taylor fix up the shrine turns out to be [[spoiler: Bakuda.]]



** Pretty much every way Sunny gets the Protectorate heroes to take out one of the E88 capes; cause some havoc, draw the Protectorate and E88 into it, and leave the E88 Cape in a very, very bad position.

* AndYourRewardIsInteriorDecorating: Or ''exterior'' decorating in this case; Sunny dug hundreds of miles of underground tunnel, got Taylor to fix up the shrine, decimated the E88's cape roster, convinced Lung to buy up the shrine land and the surrounding properties and gift it all to Taylor... [[spoiler: so that the dog could dig up a hot spring on the adjacent lot.]]



* FailedASpotCheck: Armsmaster is so busy telling Brushstroke about certain rogue cape laws (including penalties for Master effects), that he doesn't notice Sunshine walking up to him, putting her head on his knee, and him absent-mindedly starting to pet her.



* FromBadToWorse: From Taylor's perspective. Having both Oni Lee and Assault, Battery and Armsmaster present in the shrine (and praying things don't turn bloody) was bad enough, but then Lung showed up. And then Purity came for a visit as well. Taylor had to ask Purity if Skidmark was anywhere in the vicinity.



* INeedAFreakingDrink: The reaction of everyone [[spoiler: when they find out that clearing out the E88 to get Lung to buy up the land containing the land and the surrounding properties and gift it all to Taylor was all so that Sunny... could dig up a hot spring on the property.]]
--> '''Taylor:''' So I brought out some sake from Sunny's stash, does anyone want to-
--> '''Lung: Yes.'''
* IResembleThatRemark: Armsmaster commenting to Taylor that Good Dog has a Master effect that coerces law enforcement officers to pet her... while he is absent-mindedly doing just that. Taylor answers that Sunny doesn't need to coerce anyone to pet her - he's doing it right now.
* InstantlyProvenWrong: When Lung gifts the land properties for the shrine and the surrounding lots to Brushstroke, Purity comments that he got them cheap since his gang cratered the property values. [[spoiler: A moment later, Sunny digs up a hot spring on an adjacent lot (that Brushstroke now owns)]], and the property value of the land suddenly isn't so 'cratered' any more.



** [[SerialEscalation And then Purity shows up as well.]]



* SacredHospitality: When two capes of the ABB and three capes of the Protectorate are in unexpected attendance on neutral ground, Taylor really hopes they respect this.

Considering this is a Japanese national treasure that was stored in the Kyushu National Museum, and exactly what happened to said city, Lung and the baachans have every right to be shocked when they see it right before their eyes.

In chapter 11, Taylor is brought into the principal's office under the accusation that she sicced gang members on Emma. Everyone, including her father, seems to find her guilty until Mr. Henrick opens the door and demands to know what is going on. When asked to leave by Emma's father it's revealed that he's the former superintendent and has every right to be there. Mr. Henrick goes on to say that he doesn't know about Taylor's grades, but does know that she's a good person since she's always helping him and his wife with yard word, walking her dog rain or shine, planting trees, and fixing up the poorer sections of town just because it needed a little color.

* HumiliationConga: Let's just say the E88 capes have a ''very bad time'' when Sunshine gets on their case.
** Hookwolf: Chomped on the butt by Sunny, accidentally uses his powers in public, and then [[CarFu gets run over by Assault and his SUV]].
** Rune: Almost becomes roadkill for a drunk Sunny riding a motorcycle, and then gets [[TapOnTheHead cold-cocked]] by Miss Militia, who barely gives her a second thought.
** Victor: [[LaserGuidedKarma While trying to snipe a troublemaking Miko]], he gets [[UrineTrouble pissed on by Sunny]] (who somehow got to his rooftop perch without him noticing), pantsed, blown off the roof (which he barely holds on to), and finally nudged off by Sunny right into the arms of a PRT patrol.

* ForWantOfANail: [[InSpiteOfANail Subverted]] and played straight. An E88 attack on the Dockworkers years ago caused Danny to trigger with the power to make action figures/models/figurines grow to full size and come to life to serve him. He's now a Protectorate hero named [[TheMinionMaster Chessman]]... but he's still distant with his daughter, unaware of the bullying, and doesn't know how to reconnect with her. After his wife died, he poured himself into work much like before, just with a different job. Thankfully, Taylor already met a certain dog in the wilderness during one summer at camp... and the dog returns to her when she needs someone to lean on the most.
** Furthermore, thanks to the actions of Mr. Henrick (see CharacterWitness above), Danny is now fully aware of the unscrupulousness and crookedness of Alan Barnes. So when Velocity tells Chessman about the vigilante Shadow Stalker and exactly which lawyer is vouching to put her into the Wards... Danny has a very different perspective to offer.



* RealityWarper: Taylor's power (perhaps granted or loaned from Amaterasu) is to essentially restore things to pristine condition, usually through painting. It's also implied that she can make plantlife grow absurdly quickly--a fact that visitors to the shrine notice, but politely avoid commenting on.

* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: In his talk with Taylor, Lung states that her idea of unionizing and inspiring his subordinates through care and compensation rather than fear is useless because the resources he'd need to do so are tied up combating the Merchants and Empire 88. When Taylor clarifies that he could afford to be nicer if the E88 was no longer a problem, he agrees. Sunshine proceeds to clear out the E88's cape roster over the next week.



* BigFriendlyDog: To anyone unaware of her antics, this is what Sunny appears to be, especially when she's playing peekaboo with a baby or getting random passers-by to pet her.

* CharacterWitness: Mr. Henrick, Taylor's older neighbor who she helps with various tasks and finds comfort with after school a few times. In chapter 11, Taylor is brought into the principal's office under the accusation that she sicced gang members on Emma. Everyone, including her father, seems to find her guilty until Mr. Herick opens the door and demands to know what is going on. When asked to leave by Emma's father it's revealed that he's the former superintendent and has every right to be there. Mr. Henrick goes on to say that he doesn't know about Taylor's grades, but does know that she's a good person since she's always helping him and his wife with yard word, walking her dog rain or shine, planting trees, and fixing up the poorer sections of town just because it needed a little color. The case against Taylor falls apart at these words.

* ForWantOfANail: Subverted and played straight. An E88 attack on the Dockworkers years ago caused Danny to trigger with the power to make action figures/models/figurines grow to full size and come to life to serve him. He's a Protectorate hero...but he's still distant with his daughter, unaware of the bullying, and doesn't know how to reconnect with her. After his wife died, he poured himself into work much like before, just with a different job. Thankfully, Taylor already met a certain dog in the wilderness during one summer at camp...and the dog returns to her when she needs someone to lean on the most.
* PhysicalGod: Amaterasu, to an extent.
* RealityWarper: Taylor's power (perhaps granted or loaned from Amaterasu) is to essentially restore things to pristine condition, usually through painting. It's also implied that she can make plantlife grow absurdly quickly--a fact that visitors to the shrine notice, but politely avoid commenting on.
* RefugeInAudacity: Lung demands to meet with the miko (whom everyone suspects is a cape) of the newly-restored shrine in his territory in a tea ceremony. Taylor prepares a ''four-hour-long'' ceremony, and then demands two sidewalks from Lung as recompense for his rudeness and deliberate disregard for the tradition of the ceremony. With [[BewareTheNiceOnes Sunny]] sternly watching him, Lung agrees.
* SelectiveObliviousness: One of Amaterasu's powers. Nobody notices anything odd about an extremely large, pure-white dog buying things from stores, walking around without a leash or owner, sitting on a bench and drinking sake from a bottle, etc.
