** Episode 8: One of the corpses died in... a SaturdayNightFever pose.
* RockyRollCall: Episode 3's climax scene has a gag version.
* ScrewTheRulesIHaveMoney: Yao
* TheSpeechless: Subverted with Mr. Sakurakoji. He speaks all right, but is always in the Gendo Pose that nobody ever sees his mouth. Not once through the series. [[spoiler:He even keeps one hand covering his mouth in a hold-up.]]
* TitleDrop: In episode 2.
* UnfortunateName: One "prior" character introduced in episode 2 is called Sumi Irotarō, whose name can be split into Junshoku Tarō, "a cop who gets KIA" (or "[[{{Woolseyism}} Dies-On-Duty]]"). Guess what happens next. A few seconds later. [[RefugeInAudacity Right in the Police Station where they were making fun of his name.]] And twice after that.
* UnknownRival: Nagisa Tojo, the girl who Yao befriends in the girl's school episode. Despite constantly trying to sabotage and betray Yao, Yao unwittingly foils Nagisa's plans. Lu's suspicious, but doesn't do anything about it. [[spoiler:Yao eventually reveals that she may have known more about Nagisa than she let on. "[[ThePollyanna She won't do anything wrong -- I won't let her!]]"]]
* WireDilemma: Episode 6's climax scene. Played with, as with many other things.
* WhackAMole: The plot of the Western parody episode (#5), where Lu and Yao join a group of bounty hunters trying to find the mysterious Maria Rose before he[=/=]she can kill them all. [[spoiler:"Lu" and "Yao" were actually a pair of gunwomen hiding in plain sight as our heroines, without letting the audience in on it.]]
