* BurpOfFinality: In the third chapter, Ritsuko can't stop belching after she kills Gendo and then eats the hand which Adam was fused into, as even her mutated anatomy is struggling to cope with digesting an angel. As embarrassing as the gas issue is for her, it serves to punctate that Adam has been well and truly killed, which throws a serious monkey wrench into [=SEELE's=] plans.



* CompositeCharacter: Ritsuko's abilities are a mixture of Spider-Man 2099, the Sam Raimi films' version of Spider-Man, and the various versions of Spider-Woman (mostly Jessica Drew, with the extra limbs of Mattie Franklin).

* ClothesMakeTheSuperman: A variation. Ritsuko devises a nanotechnology ComicBook/SpiderWoman costume which can retract and deploy from a wristwatch (in a ShoutOut to the animated series ''WesternAnimation/SpiderManUnlimited''), plus changing into a number of alternate modes (like additional armor) on vocal command.

** Kanji's recitation of Gendo's fatal injuries is very similar to the coroner's report on Gramps Johnson from ''Film/{{Them}}''.

* TooSpicyForYogSothoth: Downplayed for comedy. Eating Adam gives Ritsuko a ''wicked'' case of gaseous indigestion, which she justifies to a concerned Misato as being a result of eating at a very poor quality greasy spoon diner the previous evening. She's still suffering the occasional stomachache several days later, to her surprised dismay.
* WeirdnessMagnet / SupernaturallyDeliciousAndNutritious / MagneticPlotDevice: Ritsuko swallowing ADAM has an unexpected secondary effect: that of becoming a beacon for the Angels to chase after, desperate to merge with ADAM... and her, as collateral damage. Additionally, the fact that the Angels can feel her when she's in Spider-Woman mode (and she is not going to ''stop'' being Spider-Woman) makes saving other people during an Angel rampage a chore.

* NiceJobBreakingItHero: The first thing Ritsuko decides to do once she has a grip on her new spider-powers? Kill Gendo Ikari and eat Adam. Bad news, though: the DNA of Adam is interacting weirdly with her own, painting a big target on her back for the Angels to see during their rampages ([[RunningGag and giving her a rampaging case]] [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking of indigestion]])...and worse yet, this gives SEELE free reign to place [[ComicBook/TheKingpin Wilson Fisk]] as their puppet liaison, Harry Osborn as their puppet commander...and neither of them have the [[EvenEvilHasStandards standards]] ([[PetTheDog however]] [[ALighterShadeOfBlack few]]) that Gendo had...

Ritsuko Akagi, beginning to become disgusted with her work for Gendo Ikari, keeps on going because of her powerlessness. This all changes one day, though, when an experiment with a Rei clone body is tainted by a [[ComicBook/SpiderMan little]] [[ComicBook/SpiderWoman spider...]]

* AmazonianBeauty: Ritsuko becomes quite muscular when in "Spider-Woman" mode. At least once or twice this makes people feel attracted to her in the story (and on one Omake, it pretty much makes Maya break out into a LesYay confession right then and there).
* BreastExpansion: As commonly happens in the Fanfic/SuperwomenOfEva stories (''especially'' [[AuthorAppeal those written by Orionpax09]]), a side-effect of Ritsuko's genetic modification is a distinct increase in her breast size. One of the first things she notes about herself after getting over the shock of seeing she has fangs and claws is that she is at ''least'' as busty as Misato now.
* BrokenBird: Gendo's untimely death has the side-effect of tossing Shinji into a pretty deep depression. Ritsuko's attempts to liven his life (as best as she can) are a recurring plot point.
* ClothesMakeTheSuperman: A variation. Ritsuko devises a nanotechnology ComicBook/SpiderWoman costume which can retract and deploy from a wristwatch (in a ShoutOut to ''WesternAnimation/SpiderManUnlimited''), plus changing into a number of alternate modes (like additional armor) on vocal command.

* DroppedABridgeOnHim: Both the fact that Gendo (regardless of what {{Fanon}} may say [[TheStationsOfTheCanon or how important he is to the series canon]]) is just a normal man who can get killed by a superhuman if caught completely unprepared, and the fact that killing him does ''not'' automatically makes things easier to ''anybody''.
* EatingSolvesEverything: After killing Gendo, Ritsuko is presented with the problem of what to do about Adam, since she knows that letting the First Angel fall back into [=SEELE's=] hands is just asking for trouble. In desperation, she falls back on a crazy scheme: she ''eats'' the embryonic Angel. It's justified that she had conducted study on her now-venomous saliva and deduced it was lethally toxic to Angels, but it's also lampshaded that it was a desperate and rather crazy idea. It also gives Ritsuko a wicked case of gaseous indigestion.

* InSpiteOfANail: Killing Gendo Ikari has neither lessened the threat that series TheManBehindTheMan Seele is nor has changed the fact that the Angels are coming (and in the same order as canon, as well). This is one of the biggest things that teach Ritsuko [[ComesGreatResponsibility what all other spider-powered Marvel heroes have learned]].

* NoKillLikeOverkill: Gendo's lethal injuries (see [[RasputinianDeath the Rasputinian Death entry below]]) would have ''each'' been lethal on their own; combined, they would have been enough to kill him ''several times over''.

* OffTheRails: Most other ''Fanfic/SuperwomenOfEva'' stories keep [[MagnificentBastard Gendo]] as a BigBad for the superwomen to defeat. With no idea that a superwoman even exists up until she attacks him in his bedroom with full intent to kill and thus no preparedness, he becomes a [[DiscOneFinalBoss Disc One]] ZeroEffortBoss. Of course, look above to see [[NiceJobBreakingItHero how bad]] [[ForWantOfANail that]] [[InSpiteOfANail idea turned out]]...

Later on, upon [[NiceJobBreakingItHero unwillingly throwing Rei to the wolves]] by saying that the Angels may be detecting her half-Angel status and thus their rampages are not exactly going as expected (by chasing after Ritsuko, who ''was'' close to Rei at the time), Osborn and Fisk immediately order Ritsuko to dissect Rei to find out the details of why is this happening-which Ritsuko has to talk her way out of preventing for a while.

His skull was crushed, his neck shattered, his skin had been ripped apart by some kind of cutting tools, he had been stabbed repeatedly, his lungs were punctured, his right forearm has been torn apart and shattered, and..."

In large enough quantities to cause complete paralysis of the muscles, including the heart."
