History Recap / LoveDeathAndRobotsSonniesEdge

* HologramProjectionImperfection: The ring announcer doesn't appear afraid to be between two huge monsters who are about to attack each other. We find out why when he flickers and disappears.

* UseYourHead: Khanivore has a huge spike on its head which she uses to stab Turboraptor's chest when he has her pinned to a wall.

* GenderBlenderName: Sonnie is a girl.

* SoreLoser: When Sonnie's opponent loses at the arena, he gets angry and blames his defeat on his helpers.

* PowerWalk: Sonnie and her partners walking up to the arena in slow motion.

* DoesNotLikeShoes: Sonnie's human body walks barefoot and doesn't feel pain when stepping on shards of glass.

** When it seems like Khanivore is losing the fight, Irvina and Wes seem more afraid than irritated that Sonnie is getting beat. Because that's actually Sonnie who's getting hurt in the arena; if Khanivore dies, Sonnie's dead for real.

* VaporWear: Irvina walks around in an open jacket with only body paint underneath. Jennifer isn't wearing anything under her dress, either. It's also obvious Sonnie isn't wearing a bra beneath her shirt.

* DeathByAdaptation: Dicko wasn't killed by Sonnie in the end.

* RuinsOfTheModernAge: The fight takes place in a vandalised St Paul's Cathedral in the midst of a cyberpunk NeonCity.

* {{Gore}}: Don't go in expecting [[GoryDiscretionShot Gory Discretion Shots]] - you get to see arms getting ripped apart, bloody stabbings, heads getting splattered onto floors and ''faces erupting into the camera'' from a hit in the back. The ring announcer even makes a point of [[LeaningOnTheFourthWall telling the audience]] there's going to be plenty of gore.

* HoneyTrap: Jennifer seduces Sonnie to get close enough to kill her. Unfortunately for her and Dicko, they targeted the wrong body.

* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: The scene where Turboraptor momentarily turns the tables on Khanivore is ''very'' uncomfortably framed to echo Sonnie's RapeAsBackstory, from the way Khanivore attempts to escape by crawling away, to how Turboraptor pins Khanivore against the wall, not to mention the shot of Turboraptor slowly thrusting its armblade into Khanivore's abdomen.

* LudicrousGibs: Don't go in expecting [[GoryDiscretionShot Gory Discretion Shots]] - you get to see arms getting ripped apart, bloody stabbings, heads getting splattered onto floors and ''faces erupting into the camera'' from a hit in the back. The ring announcer even makes a point of [[LeaningOnTheFourthWall telling the audience]] there's going to be plenty of gore.

* RapeAsBackstory: Sonnie's friends explain to Dicko that she was raped, beaten, and cut up by an "estate gang" and she fights as proxy revenge on the ones who hurt her, which is why no bribe is enough to convince her to throw the fight. Though, as Jennifer is seducing her, Sonnie confesses that it's not all there is to her, people just don't look past the convenient story. In fact, she was beaten up so badly her friends had to transplant her brain into her beast; she's fighting for her life every time.

* RewatchBonus: When Dicko suggests Sonnie throw the fight, her beast hits the glass of her tank. Once you know the ending, you realize that was actually Sonnie reacting, so she tells him to fuck off twice.

* ShellShockSilence: A non-explosive variant when the fight starts turning against Khanivore, as the sound effects cut out and are replaced with a pulsating thrum of music.

* ActionFilmQuietDramaScene: When the fight starts turning against Khanivore, the sound effects drop out and are replaced with a pulsating thrum of music.
