| Witch Hunter Robin | comment |
SOLOMON, or STNnote Solomon Toukatsu Nin'idantai, roughly Solomon Executive Organization, is a group that hunts "witches" — that is, people born with specific genetic superhuman abilities associated with magic. The opening credits' Fauxlosophic Narration implies witches may have been a culture or civilization which ruled over man until they were somehow deposed or otherwise self-destructed (as opposed to just a Mage Species). Into SOLOMON's hunt enters the newest member of Japanese branch STN-J: the eponymous Robin Sena, a witch herself with the ability to conjure and control fire.The main theme of Witch Hunter Robin involves the moral responsibility of a witch's powers — and how many witches become consumed by their own power. Other themes include isolation and persecution, as witches have a hard time assimilating and living among humans while controlling their dark urges. The second half of the show reveals that even innocent witches live in fear of being killed or disappeared by SOLOMON if their powers are discovered, and Robin herself battles with the fear she will one day become drunk on her power and become a target.Witch Hunter Robin had a notable format: the first half of the series runs near-entirely off the Monster of the Week trope (replace "Monster" with "Witch"), while the second half turns into a longer arc which explores the depths of SOLOMON's desire to destroy witches. | |

Adam and Eve Plot: At the end of the series, due to genetic alteration done to her mother, Robin cannot go insane from her powers and this advantage is a dominant trait that will be passed onto any children and future descendants of hers. Robin is essentially to be the mother of a new witch species. | |

With Great Power Comes Great Insanity | |
| Witch Hunter Robin / int_208c4494 | comment |
With Great Power Comes Great Insanity: Along with Screw the Rules, I Have Supernatural Powers! and Transhuman Treachery, this is the reason Solomon and the STN-J hunt witches. All witches in the Monster of the Week episodes (and many afterward) are insane, criminal, or criminally insane. It turns out that this isn't even a majority of the witches in existence. Most witches are nice and law-abiding people who happen to have powers, and they are the victims of Van Helsing Hate Crimes by the STN-J and Solomon. Made explicit in the backstory of the witch and partner to Amon that Robin is replacing. She knew she was losing control and went rogue rather than be captured. Amon had to kill her. Again in an episode when they tried to capture another witch, who was relentlessly bullied and eventually gave in and killed his tormentors. Again in the episode where Robin is befriended by a mixed marriage of a witch and human whose innocent teenaged daughter was kidnapped by the STN-J. Capping it off is the episode where a centuries-old witch uses an Exposition Beam to showcase just how thoroughly humanity has been persecuting the good and bad witches even long before Salem. Really, humanity got lucky that there was no Witch Magneto to lead the oppressed witches in a revolt against the muggles. | |

Big Good: Chief Inspector Shintarō Kosaka is the STNJ's boss and replaces Zaizen at the end. Though there's probably a Big-"ger" Good in SOLOMON. Another case could be made for Todo, depending on one's views on Robin's heritage since he used genetic modification to prevent her power-induced-insanity. | |

Personality Powers | |
| Witch Hunter Robin / int_4bf3d8d7 | comment |
Personality Powers: The series is noteworthy in its aversion. Since powers are tied to genetics and spiritualism, the writers had every excuse. However, Robin is shy and demure, in contrast to the typical personality that one would expect from someone with her powers. Karasuma, by contrast, probably would've been an insightful person even without Psychic Powers. | |

Doing in the Scientist: Some witches use symbols that can be recognized by other unrelated witches, which implies that there is a coherent system in use among them. One witch even contacted her sister's ghost for a revenge plot with a ritual that Robin recognized. Just five years pre-series the STN used anti-witch bullets with carvings to ward off evil, and someone in the main narrative still does. Also, See Elemental Rock-Paper-Scissors below. | |

Fanservice: Robin sleeps naked but it's pretty low on the fanservice-o-meter, since all the times she sits up she holds the blanket quite high. The waitress outfits in "Separate Lives" leave little to the imagination. Robin's bike courier disguise is black spandex from neck to ankle, but there are very few camera angles that seem interested. Also subverted in an early scene where a prelude to the ostensible Shower Scene reveals a dripping-wet Robin... fully-clothed and scrubbing the floor of the shower. | |

Ultimate Job Security: Dojima comes in late, leaves early, takes extra-long breaks, and spends most of her time looking at fashion magazines, plus she was only hired because of who her father is. Subverted in that she's really there as a spy for the parent company, which is suspicious of the new procedures instituted by the Japan branch - she acts like a slacker who owes her job to nepotism, but this may just be her cover. | |

Sinister Minister | |
| Witch Hunter Robin / int_9245d989 | comment |
Sinister Minister: Subverted and then defied. Subversion-The Inquisitor is more of an official than a minister and less "sinister" than playing the "bad cop". Defiance-Father Juliano, Robin's guardian and grandfather tried to be this trope but raising Robin mellowed him out. Instead of condemning her, he blesses her. | |

Capping it off is the episode where a centuries-old witch uses an Exposition Beam to showcase just how thoroughly humanity has been persecuting the good and bad witches even long before Salem.

Lady and Knight | |
| Witch Hunter Robin / int_a78753d5 | comment |
Lady and Knight: Amon and Robin play with the trope. Robin looks like a victorian lady in her usual dress and is seen as the Dark Lady by many because of her heritage and some of her actions are brutal considering what the rest of The Team does, but at heart she's a Bright Lady trying to do what's right. Amon ultimately betrays both Zaizen and SOLOMON to protect Robin from danger and is seen as a Dark Knight who's gone rogue, though he wavers back and forth. Robin herself calls him her "watch dog" because he will make sure she survives unless she loses herself to her power. At which point he will kill her himself. | |

Final Solution | |
| Witch Hunter Robin / int_a969c74a | comment |
Final Solution: Towards the end of the series Zaizen is revealed to be working towards one of these. He wanted to use Orbo to empower normal humans to hunt witches. Until then the organization was forced to use witches to hunt other witches, but with the enhanced Orbo that would no longer be necessary, and he can systematically wipe them out with the aid of the STN's database. In his eyes, all witches are afflicted by madness born of their power (or will be eventually), so he sees himself as justified. | |

Ambiguously Gay: Harry is a rather effeminate-looking man who runs a stylish bar and is the STNJ's Team Mom. | |

Powered by a Forsaken Child: Expected in a series about hunting witches, but the specifics are refreshing. Orbo, the magical green juice that protects the STN-J members, is painfully extracted from previously captured witches, even those who have never used their powers for evil. | |

Monster of the Week | |
| Witch Hunter Robin / int_e9604359 | comment |
Monster of the Week: Follows the format of "catch the new dangerous witch" for the first half of the series, before progressing to the formal storyline proper. | |

Younger Than They Look | |
| Witch Hunter Robin / int_e9db9908 | comment |
Younger Than They Look: Robin's fifteen. It's easy to forget that because she sounds, looks, and acts nothing like her age. | |

Screw the Rules, I Have Supernatural Powers! | |
| Witch Hunter Robin / int_eaa8a7d8 | comment |
Along with Screw the Rules, I Have Supernatural Powers! and Transhuman Treachery, this is the reason Solomon and the STN-J hunt witches. All witches in the Monster of the Week episodes (and many afterward) are insane, criminal, or criminally insane. It turns out that this isn't even a majority of the witches in existence. Most witches are nice and law-abiding people who happen to have powers, and they are the victims of Van Helsing Hate Crimes by the STN-J and Solomon. | |

Improbable Hairstyle | |
| Witch Hunter Robin / int_eb1fcaf7 | comment |
Improbable Hairstyle: Subverted; Robin's hairstyle seems improbable at first glance, but it's shown to be held in place by a number of hairpins and hair ties. The rest of the cast generally has realistic normal hair. | |

Not a Morning Person: Robin. Her insomnia is even alluded to in the ending theme ("Falling into a light sleep..."). | |

Creepy Crows | |

Creepy Crows: Sometimes seen perched near the STN-J office, creepy crows might even be behind the gruesome killings in one episode. Turns out they just know what's up. | |

All Your Base Are Belong to Us: SOLOMON does this to the STN-J mid-series. Made especially shocking by the fact that Robin was living there at the time, because they already did the same thing to her house! | |

Team Mom: Harry for the STN-J; the members go to his cafe for emotional support and guidance. He makes special tea for them when they're sick. After the Wham Episode he hugs Robin and says "Welcome home." | |
