Birdy the Mighty (Manga) | comment |
Tsutomu Senkawa was an ordinary teenager living in Tokyo. Birdy Cephon Altera is a beautiful and impulsive Space Cop on a mission to stop a plot by alien criminals that involves Earth. One night, during a battle with the alien fugitive Geega, "Berserker Killer" Birdy accidentally attacks Tsutomu, fatally injuring him. To save his life, Birdy has to merge with him. Now, as Tsutomu gets used to Sharing a Body with a girl, they both have to work together for Birdy to complete her mission while trying not to interfere with his ordinary life.Called Tetsuwan Birdy in Japan, Birdy the Mighty started as a manga that was left unfinished in the 1980s by Masami Yuki. The animation studio Madhouse with direction by Yoshiaki Kawajiri and writing by Chiaki Konaka made a four-part OVA series in the 1990s that finished part of the plot, but still left loose ends. In 2002, Masami went on to do a reboot named Birdy the Mighty II, starting the story over from the beginning. The series ended after twenty volumes, and a new series after a time skip called Tetsuwan Birdy: Evolution ran for thirteen volumes. An epilogue chapter was later published in Weekly Big Comic Spirits, fully completing the envisioned story in 2012. In 2008, a TV series, Tetsuwan Birdy Decode (Birdy the Mighty Decode), with direction from Kazuki Akane of The Vision of Escaflowne fame, premiered, and in January 2009, the second season, Tetsuwan Birdy Decode 02 (Birdy the Mighty Decode 02), premiered. However, Decode is a loose adaptation set in an Alternate Continuity from II and Evolution.Decode can be found on Funimation's Youtube channel here. | |

Aliens Speaking English | |
Birdy the Mighty (Manga) / int_1049848f | comment |
Aliens Speaking English: Played With interestingly in this. If examined carefully enough, you see that in every interaction where there is a potential language problem (i.e. a human and an alien), there can be a reasonable expectation that that alien learned Japanese. For example, Birdy was on Earth for 6 months, working in the modeling business. Aliens that wouldn't know Japanese naturally only speak to other aliens (though of course the dialogue is translated for the viewer), so they are speaking their language. Tsutomu can only understand the aliens because his mind is inside Birdy. | |

Secret Identity | |
Birdy the Mighty (Manga) / int_112890b3 | comment |
Secret Identity: In Decode, prior to being merged with Tsutomu and even afterwards, Birdy assumed the name "Shion Arita". This didn't stop a photographer, Tsutomu himself, or someone from her past from recognizing her. Averted in the OVA when Birdy, outside of taking some of Hazumi's clothes, doesn't bother disguising her hair or acting differently. | |

Birdy the Mighty (Manga) / int_1206d299 | comment |
Can't Kill You, Still Need You: Shigenobu planned to kill Hikawa a long time ago, considering only doing so when his research on superhumans is concluded. In the past, Mido requested Shigenobu to get along with him, knowing he resents him. He begrudgingly complied, but his patience eventually runs out. Revi and Gomez planned to kill Nechla after capturing her, but find more uses for her in her delirious state and begrudingly let her live. In Gomez's case, it's because Birdy pleaded with him not to kill her. | |

Dirty Coward: Subverted with Valic in Season 2 of Decode, whom we learn was too scared to go through with a suicide bombing mission (which Nataru, whom he bullied, had also signed up for), but who at the end defuses a bomb planted by Moss so innocents don't die. | |

Birdy the Mighty (Manga) / int_129749df | comment |
All Men Are Perverts: Tsutomu is a teenage boy whose natural sexual urges are being repressed by virtue of his mind inhabiting a sexy female alien's body. The more the story goes on, the more vivid Tsutomu's erotic fantasies of girls he finds attractive become. Downplayed by the time skip, where Tsutomu grows out of that phase but still keeps a mild lecherous streak in regards to Sayaka. | |

Heroic BSoD: Birdy's belief she killed Hikawa shakes her to the core. After the timeskip, when she hears Revi's whole story and realizes how corrupt the Federation is, she falls on all four at the sight of Nechla preparing to kill Revi, at a loss on what to do. Ultimately, she decides to pursue her own justice and snaps out of her funk, defending Revi from Nechla. | |

Birdy the Mighty (Manga) / int_14c791fb | comment |
Conflicting Loyalty: Eventually comes to a head with Birdy when she is torn between her loyalty to the Federation and Earth. Despite the danger Hikawa poses to Japan, the Federation has no interest in intervening in human affairs. Birdy chooses to disobey her superiors and forms an alliance with Gomez to take Hikawa down for good. This becomes a major part of Birdy's Character Development in Evolution, where her sense of morality proves increasingly incompatible with how corrupt the Federation truly is. She ultimately chooses to assist Revi over letting Nechla kill her, rendering her a fugitive. | |

Does This Remind You of Anything? | |
Birdy the Mighty (Manga) / int_14ed6ab7 | comment |
Does This Remind You of Anything?: Shyamalan's treatment of Sayaka when she goes onto his boat seems very much like date rape, considering he first convinces Tsutomu and Sayaka to trust him with Sayaka's safety and then proceeds to make Sayaka dress as a bride (Capella even points out that if she didn't know better she'd say he was hosting a wedding) and offers her a drink that knocks her out... Made even worse by the fact that Sayaka is in high school, meaning that she'd either be underage or just barely of age! Learning how Altans are treated following Revi's actions, could remind you of how people from the Middle East or of Middle Eastern descent were treated following 9-11 or how people from Japan and people of Japanese descent were treated in America during World War II following the attack on Pearl Harbor. | |

Birdy the Mighty (Manga) / int_178ca149 | comment |
The Worf Effect: Birdy, who was portrayed as unstoppable up to that point, is completely humiliated in her first confrontation with Gomez. Chigira's attempts to restrain Undine!Sayaka see him floored with his intestines ripped out, and he proves to be able to do little to nothing against Nechla later on. Gnome, who just defeated Undine!Sayaka without hassle, is one-shot by the reforged Oni now serving Agata. Nechla is worfed by Gomez as well, after having just incapacitated Birdy, although she comparitively puts up a much better fight. | |

The Sociopath | |
Birdy the Mighty (Manga) / int_19851b86 | comment |
The Sociopath: Hikawa is a monstrously evil psychopath likened to pure evil by numerous characters. Subverted with Revi. Despite all the implications of being a discompassionate extremist who would sacrifice anything and anyone to achieve her goals, it's thoroughly shown that Revi has the capacity for genuine empathy and remorse. | |

Gone Horribly Right: A tragic case for a benevolent scientist working on marionettes. When she asked it to give her a hug, it crushed her to death—then it escaped and began killing women who looked like the scientist, searching for its "mama." | |

A Lighter Shade of Black | |
Birdy the Mighty (Manga) / int_19fc58a2 | comment |
A Lighter Shade of Black: Although still a sinister corporation dabbling in immoral science, Agni is notably more redeeming and complex as an organization without a megalomaniacal bastard like Hikawa at the helm. While involved with illegal human experimentation, with many of its employees not being kept under the dark over it, Agni is still a large corporation with people of all different kinds of morals and motivations joining it. As Revi notes, as the company continues to grow larger, she will inevitably be unable to control everyone to her desires. This is why she contemplates soon taking the fruits of its research and finally departing Earth for her endgame. | |

Birdy the Mighty (Manga) / int_1a237409 | comment |
Order Versus Chaos: What the Sanctum Sanctorum's conflict vs Christella Revi essentially is: the former represents order under their absolute jurisdiction to ensure the same mistakes of Satyajit Shyamalan are not repeated. Revi represents chaos in that, regardless of their reasonings, humanity should learn from their mistakes and be given back the freedom to make their own choices. | |

This reveals despite everything, Chigira does not have any regrets or doubts about the path he has taken. | |

In the remake manga, its sequel Evolution and Decode,◊ the torso section of her uniforms don't even cover the sides. Later in Evolution she gains a new uniform that takes the skimpiness another level by including a Navel-Deep Neckline. | |

Birdy the Mighty (Manga) / int_20a14df0 | comment |
Wrong Genre Savvy: Shyamalan and Nataru. Shyamalan demonstrates a pretty good understanding of concepts such as The Chosen One and Only the Chosen May Wield, for example, but he lives in a world where they don't apply and his behavior just makes him a bad person. In Nataru's case, he's relying on the idea that enemies who don't die aren't punished, which is perfectly true in a lot of fantasy but Decode operates under the belief that killing is wrong and almost never justifiable. | |

Good Is Not Soft: Birdy might be a good cop who prefers diplomacy, but she isn't above often using extreme force to make her enemies submit. Tsutomu, in contrast to Birdy, is less idealistic and forgiving. Applies to most federal agents actually working under the law, such as Megius, Kidel, and Kashu. While Gomez is revealed to be an all-around good guy, he has no reservations of killing if push comes to shove. There's also the fact his undercover work as Revi's enforcer forces him to oversee and carry out many nasty crimes. | |

Cruel to Be Kind: After Birdy makes progress on Revi's whereabouts, Megius repeatedly, harshly tells her to resign from the force. This is because Megius knows Sanctum Sanctorum will get involved and is deeply concerned for Birdy's safety. It doesn't deter her, and Megius soon joins in on an independent investigation into the department of worship. Not wanting Towa to grieve or even follow him to his death, Revi callously tells him to forget all about the mother he knew before departing to confront the Sanctum Sanctorum. | |

Verbal Tic: In the Japanese version of Decode, Birdy as Shion Arita tends to accent the "u" sounds in words that have them and add "de arudesu" to a lot of sentences. | |

Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: Shyamalan, good grief. He's an expert at looking like an open, charming, boyish young executive while plotting to wipe out large chunks of the human race. It's telling that when he wants to get Sayaka on his ship and away from Tsutomu all he has to do is tell the two of them that he's there to help and they believe him almost immediately. | |

What Did I Do Last Night?: Sayaka can't recall what she was doing during nighttime for few days, but it definitely wasn't sleeping, going by being bruised and with her bare feet being cut and covered in dirt. Turns out she was just sleepwalking and it wasn't her murdering women in the metro. This doesn't make her condition or what she does while sleepwalking any less nightmarish. | |

He is probably the scariest villain in Decode, despite being the only antagonist who's human in a series crawling with alien criminals including a guy with the ability to devour people and absorb their memories and a Serial Killer who murders his enemies so violently he puts even hardened terrorists off! It's even more disturbing because he doesn't look it. At all. | |

Ax-Crazy: Bacillus, a parastic alien in uneasy league with Revi, who grows more insane with each body he steals due to the excessive memory overflow. He eventually completely loses it. Shogo Hikawa, a Mad Scientist affiliate of Revi's at the center of her plans, is almost bestial in nature despite being human. Gozo Mido, the minister of Japanese health and welfare, whose mind has been irrevocably twisted by Hikawa's experiments on preserving his life. Capella Titus and Neith Washgam, kindred spirits in their love of torture and destruction, and being part of the exceedingly corrupt army division of the Federation. An utterly tragic example in Nechla after her mind is almost fully overtaken by the Sanctum Sanctorum. | |

Accidental Pervert: Tsutomu's dad tries to bond with him in the bathtub, but finds a naked Birdy in his place, just as she stood up in the bathtub giving him a Naked First Impression. She isn't really bothered by it and they simply exchange polite greetings before he awkwardly steps out to ask his wife why there's a stranger in their bathroom. In the rebooted manga, Birdy's first meeting with Tsutomu's dad happens in the same manner, but to dispel suspicion she leaves the bathroom (still naked) in Tsutomu's body, making his parents think he's becoming a Home Nudist. When she sneaks out of the house to confront Bacillus, she materializes her uniform into her when she body shifts, but after the fight with Bacillus is over and she changes back, Tsutomu finds himself naked on the streets in the middle of the night forcing him to go Streaking his way home. Naturally, he bumps into his Love Interest Hayamiya and she comes to the conclusion he's an exhibitionist. An unusual gender-inverted example in Decode, where Hayamyia, after hearing Birdy's voice in the bath, takes a look out of surprise, only to find a naked and embarrassed Tsutomu. | |

Terror Hero: Birdy is one of the rare non-anti-heroic examples. She is known as "Berserker Killer Birdy" (see the Berserker entry on this page for an explanation of that), and also strikes fear into the hearts of her opponents because she is an Ixioran. This trope manifests especially when the fugitives start being brutally murdered, and the first conclusion they jump to is that Birdy is responsible. | |

Apologetic Attacker: During Tsutomu's raid on the hospital a comatose Sayaka is being held at, Chigira does halfheartedly block their path and makes it clear he doesn't want to fight, but restrains Tsutomu regardless. The same trope applies for the confrontation with Ondine!Sayaka right after; it doesn't want to hurt Tsutomu as a hangover from the time it spent with him, as well as Sayaka's memories, but tries to kill him when he persists in defending Sayaka. | |

Out of Focus | |
Birdy the Mighty (Manga) / int_32da91b8 | comment |
Out of Focus: Despite a constant presence in the early volumes of the manga, once Capella relocates Megius a quarter way through the story, he is not seen or heard from again until late into the timeskip, where he becomes a central supporting character. After the timeskip, Natsumi along with Ryota are notably out of focus with the stakes becoming much higher and focusing on Christella Revi and galactic politics. Despite being the most prominent Marionettes in the first half, Sylph and Salamander are notably out of the spotlight post-timeskip while Undine and Gnome gain more limelight. Although Sylph returns in the last volumes, Salamander eregiously suffers Chuck Cunningham Syndrome. | |

Bad Guys Do the Dirty Work: Revi's Marionettes work primarily as assassins for Gomez when peace isn't an option. In particular, Salamander kills Bacillus and finishes off Hikawa when he gets an upper hand in his brutal fight with Birdy. | |

"Freaky Friday" Flip: Happens in Decode and II — After a particularly hard fight, Birdy passes out and Tsutomu awakens to find himself in Birdy's form and unable to change back. The manga is more appropriate to Man, I Feel Like a Woman since the first thing Tsutomu does when he realizes he's in Birdy's body is to grab his chest and groin in disbelief. | |

Does Not Know His Own Strength: A more tragic example. In one episode, a serial killer is hunting and murdering young women with short brunette hair and glasses. It turns out to be a rogue Marionette that escaped and is seeking the women because they have similar traits to her creator, who imprinted her with childlike affection, and she ended up killing her "Mama" and the other women by hugging them until their insides ruptured. | |

At worst (which is near all the time), he throws the lives of his soldiers away to test "results" in droves, claiming he has a bottomless supply of disposable men readily available. Hikawa is also horrifyingly abusive towards his right hand, Lee, beating her for failure and constantly finding new ways to compromise her dignity, such as stripping her down and groping or even raping her while giving her a verbal beatdown. | |

Curb-Stomp Battle: While a lot of fights in the series are these, the most notable one played entirely for drama is Maxwell Peridan's failed uprising against the Sanctum Sanctorum. Revi solemnly reminisces that no matter how big his new religion became, they were woefully ill-prepared to engage in combat against the Federation. He and his order were absolutely decimated, and the impact of the incident has left ripples on modern Federation politics. | |

Adaptational Gender Identity | |
Birdy the Mighty (Manga) / int_3da7b862 | comment |
Adaptational Gender Identity: Birdy initially assumes that Revi is male based on Federation data, only to be shocked to learn Revi is female — and then learn that Revi was born male and her current gender is because of a failed attempt to save Tunica Cephon's life by merging her with Revi, much like Birdy was able to do with Tsutomu. Granted, the original manga and OVA, like Decode after them, never finished their stories, but given Birdy not only doesn't express confusion about Revi's gender, but also refers to Revi with female pronouns from the start and even recognizes Revi on the spot the first time she sees her on Earth in those, it does suggest that those incarnations of Revi were born female. | |

Bittersweet Ending: Both seasons of Decode. The first season of Decode ends with Tsutomu's girlfriend leaving after being separated from the Ryunka, a Doomsday Device, and having lost several of her memories. The end of episode 11 of season 2 hints at possibly bringing back some of her memories/romance, as she returns for a visit, and asks Hayamiya about all these pictures of her with Tsutomu (back in season 1), and wondering what they're doing there. Season 2 ended with Moss arrested, but Nataru leaves Birdy and teleports away and Birdy is denied answers about what happened with him and the project that created him. | |

A Tragedy of Impulsiveness: Sayaka freaks out when she's asked by Pencil to come back to help with her father's old research, running right into traffic and falling into a coma. | |

Professor Guinea Pig: Hikawa has extensively experimented on himself, turning himself into the first successful superhuman, granting him his youth, Super-Strength, and other perks at the escalating cost of his already nebulous sanity. | |

Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Hayamiya is sharp-tongued, rough around the edges, and picks on her friends when they're late or don't take the things she says seriously, but she obviously cares about them very deeply, and she was the one who came up with telling the world the story of the refugees after the Ryunka destroyed Roppongi in the first season. Her friend Sudou is much the same, which might explain the Ship Tease between them. | |

Bait the Dog: Nechla introduces herself to Birdy on Earth attacking her with seemingly lethal intent, then seems to be intent on killing Tsutomu's dad when he notices them. When Birdy questions what the hell her problem is, she claims she was just planning on putting him to "sleep." All this gives the impression Nechla is as Ax-Crazy as Capella. As we later learn, her weapons are capable of inducing sleep without serious harm and Nechla is thoroughly a Noble Demon. | |

Butt-Monkey: Toshiro Akutsu, Hikawa's leading scientist, whom he constantly bullies around due to his meek nature. Later, he's similarly pushed around by Lee into subordination. Kred's re-introduction to the story sees him hilariously failing to adjust to Earth customs, being promptly chased around by both Federation agents and local police officers, then getting captured by Neith and sexually assaulted during her interrogation. | |

Following the time skip, he is Tsutomu's part-time boss and provides leads on Agni. On Birdy's end is commissioner Megius, her initial boss and surrogate father. Megius is fully supportive of Birdy and one of the few Federation agents that isn't corrupt, eventually opening his own covert investigation into the sinister workings of the Sanctum Sanctorum. | |

Birdy the Mighty (Manga) / int_53136954 | comment |
Book Dumb: Tsutomu. He flunked his initial college entrance exams, something Hazumi constantly berates him for. In a study party with his old friends, Sayaka also notes he's...bad at pretty much every subject. When they become romantically involved, Sayaka also says she'd like most if he studied harder, something that exasparates him. | |

Batman in My Basement | |
Birdy the Mighty (Manga) / int_53f5ccea | comment |
Batman in My Basement: In the manga and OVA, Tsutomu has to keep his situation hidden from his family. This ended up making his family think he's crazy as he seems to be yelling to himself, his father (in an attempt at Bathtub Bonding with his son) catching a nude Birdy in the bath after she switched with him, his family to wonder why the son is running around the house in the nude, and his sister, Hazumi, accuses him of crossdressing when Birdy decides to "borrow" some of her clothes. The trope remains in the remake manga, though Birdy has her own clothes for being a little less conspicuous, but it's averted in Decode, where Hazumi has moved out and only checks in on him, and his parents have left due to the father's job, leaving Tsutomu alone. | |

Spanner in the Works: Hazumi's volunteering for Hikawa Chemistry directly leads to Hikawa's downfall when Birdy raids their facility initially just to rescue her. After the timeskip, her new job at Agni is what Tsutomu and Birdy use for leads on their illicit activities. | |

Birdy the Mighty (Manga) / int_60fa92ac | comment |
Names to Run Away from Really Fast: Double Subverted with Birdy's nickname, "Berserker Killer" Birdy. Turns out it doesn't mean The Berserker, it refers to the fact that she killed robots called Berserkers. The second subversion comes in when we find out these things give armies a run for their money. | |

Death Glare: When forcing an Agni scientist to reveal what they're doing behind the scenes, at the sight of the laboratory, the man snaps and goes into a massive Motive Rant, tearing down Birdy for simply thinking she can do whatever she wants and justifying himself and the research. When he finishes by callously revealing the beast-man intentionally let loose into the city was Hinako's father, Birdy under the influence of Tsutomu's emotions let out an expression of bestial fury moments before hell itself is unleashed on the facility. | |

Species Surname | |
Birdy the Mighty (Manga) / int_6b146924 | comment |
Species Surname: Regardless of spelling (see below), names in Birdy's society work differently than in ours. The first name is basically the same as ours, being an identifier unique to the individual. Birdy in Birdy's case of course. The last name is the name of one's species; Birdy's last name is Alta because she is an Altan. The middle name is a bit muddier, as Birdy's is the only one explicitly given: Cephon. It is the name of the place/spawning device where she was created. It can be inferred that other artificial life forms' middle name works like this, but it is unknown whether 'natural' people's middle names come from some equivalent, or if they even have them. | |

TheMasquerade | |
Birdy the Mighty (Manga) / int_7095c87e | comment |
The Masquerade: Zig-Zagged to hell and back in Decode. While the population at large is generally unaware of the aliens' presence, and many people don't believe in aliens, one may suspect that Masakubo's obsession with aliens and UFOs is more than crazy conspiracy theory paranoia. The non-humanoid aliens usually have some kind of disguise to make themselves look human and blend in, but many aliens have revealed themselves, making business deals with human companies and (possibly) governments. Even Birdy has the Shion Arita identity, but she revealed herself to Muroto, though he may or may not have believed her. No cover-up efforts are made at all when the Ryunka demolishes the countryside, and everyone knows something weird happened when the Ryunka completely trashed the Roppongi area. The government must have known something was up when the aliens assaulted a military base and stole a nuclear bomb. But on the other side, some aliens living on earth might not even know they are alien, because they either were born there or moved when very small and their parents never told them. For example, in Decode, it is revealed that Chikira is an Altan, though he may or may not know this. | |

Mugging the Monster: As a result of his pacifistic and unassuming demeanor, numerous characters like Bacillus think they can threaten and belittle Gomez for their demands. All of them pay the price, dearly, some with him not even lifting a finger. | |

Politically Incorrect Villain: Hikawa and many others from the Ministry of Health and Welfare, as well as the imperalistic Empire remnants, are very sexist and possess condescending views on commoners. | |

Noble Demon: Gomez may work for Christella Revi but harbors no real ill will. He lends advice and helps Birdy on a number of occasions. He also undermines the interests of villains like Hikawa should they prove to be enough of a threat to his values. Nechla is definitely this compared to others in the department of worship, always wanting to avoid as many casualties as possible and having no real faith in her superiors. | |

I Just Want to Be Free: Tunica grows obsessed with Revi's daily stories of the outside world, having never had a life outside the department of worship. After being snuck out several times to see the world, freedom is revealed to have been her truest desire. Nechla's truest desire to simply run away from her life as a church assassin with Kashu. At its core, Revi's life goal is to free the universe from the Sanctum Sanctorum and give free will back to all. | |

Fashionable Asymmetry: Birdy tends to employ this in her outfits (most notably seen in the original manga and OVA where her right boot goes to her knee, while the left one goes to the thigh), barring her Decode uniform and in the original manga and OVA, her bangs tend to be spikier on one side (usually what side isn't facing the camera) than the other. | |

Shooting Superman: As seen once in the OVA and twice in Decode, shooting Birdy with a gun isn't really effective to take her down, though she will twitch or get knocked down upon the bullets' impacts and, as she expressed once in Decode, the impacts do hurt. In the manga, this is explained by a biological shield, but it's not invincible and with proper attacks can be pierced even by a knife. | |

Bullying a Dragon: Senator Shigenobu the receiving end of this. Hikawa brazenly believes because he curries favor with Mido, he can pettily torment Shigenobu all he likes. Despite Shigenobu reminding him he is the one providing him all his resources and security, Hikawa mocks him and continues to do as he pleases. Unsurprisingly, Shigenobu has his limits and decides to get rid of Hikawa. When Gomez is faced with the dilemma of killing Nechla against Birdy and Chigira's pleas, as she may reveal his deception to Revi in interrogation, she endlessly ridicules him over the possibility. To be fair, she doesn't care about her life and tells him to hurry up and kill her already. | |

Birdy the Mighty (Manga) / int_7ec94d53 | comment |
Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds: Christella Revi was an atypical persecuted Altan child who was forced to attend a private boarding school dedicated to the department of worship due to his potential. Although the life of a clergyman wasn't what Revi desired, he befriended Altans Maxwell Peridan and Tunica Cephon during his days at the school. Tunica, an Ixorian bound to the church had no knowledge of the outside world or how normal people were. Revi quickly became close friends with Tunica but tragically, Revi and Tunica were caught in the middle of an Altan terrorist bombing, and the latter perished due to being unusually frail for an Ixorian. Blaming Revi for her fate, the Cephon science department was pressured by the church to bring Tunica back by fusing her consciousness into a comatose Revi. The operation failed, with Revi waking up to be the only mind in his body. However, Revi gained all of Tunica's memories and powers, becoming hyper-intelligent and rising to become the head of the Ministry of Science despite being an Altan. After seeing through Tunica's darkest memories and files of her creation, Revi began an investigation into the department of worship and the sanctum they serve. Losing his position in the Ministry of Science before his first term even ended, being falsely accused of leaking high-grade weapons to terrorists, Maxwell was excommunicated and slaughtered by federal agents. Revi subsequently lost faith in diplomacy and became a terrorist dedicated to violently finding justice for herself and her people. | |

Vague Age: Birdy's age isn't specified in either the OVA or Decode. In the OVA, she's clearly older than Tsutomu, but according to Tsutomu, she's too young to drink alcohol, which means she could be somewhere in the 17-19 age rangenote The legal drinking age in Japan is 20. Doing the math in the Decode version, based on references to her past in the second season offer that she's probably at least 24 there. | |

Small Role, Big Impact | |
Birdy the Mighty (Manga) / int_805deb6e | comment |
Small Role, Big Impact: While Bacillus really doesn't accomplish much of anything, his atrocities set most of the first half's plot in motion by injuring Chigira and him subsequently being transferred over to Hikawa's hospital. Also, his actions set the police and Natsumi on leads of discovering Tsutomu's condition and ties to Birdy very late into the story. Yukari Takayanagi, the Agni mole who is killed to shut her up, awakens Birdy in the second half of the manga and sets the protagonists back on the path of Christella Revi. Mace doesn't last long, but his actions make Earth's military forces recognize the Federation as a hostile force, kickstarting the war arc. There's also the fact Mace is why Nechla is the way she is now. Neith as precious minimal screentime after the timeskip, but her death is the catalyst Capella uses to justify the Federation's aggressive invasion of Earth. While Shyamalan has vastly lesser screentime here compared to Decode, only appearing in volume six and thirteen (the final volume), the importance of his role there retroactively makes his character the true chief antagonist of the Birdy the Mighty franchise. | |

Super-Soldier: Hikawa's motivation with his inhumane research is to create an army of super soldiers, and it's for this end Revi and her affiliates support him so much. As we see in the timeskip, he succeeded in laying the foundation for a successful super soldier program. | |

Tome of Eldritch Lore | |
Birdy the Mighty (Manga) / int_815556aa | comment |
Tome of Eldritch Lore: Maxwell Peridan's "forbidden book," a sealed jet black colored box that he stole from the Sanctum Sanctorum when he was ex-communicated. Revi is currently in possession of it and the department of worship is desperately hunting her down to get it back. What's inside is a surprise when we don't find eldritch text, but Japanese documents penned by Sayaka Nakasugi. | |

Alternate Universe | |
Birdy the Mighty (Manga) / int_8430699a | comment |
Alternate Universe: What the alien star systems bordering our Earth is revealed to be by the end of the story. The "holy star" El Kazan where the first Altan was born was actually Earth of the future. A disastrous experiment into interdimensional travel in 2040 conducted by Satyajit Shyamalan and Robert Woodman created a wormwhole that swallowed up Earth and overlapped it with the past, wiping out all life on it. The surviving computer systems of the research city, Yggdrasil, used genetic research to restart life; this is why Altans and the other alien races seen bear such an uncanny resemblance to the species of Earth. | |

What Happened to the Mouse?: Although the manga does a good job of resolving many questions from the other unfinished continuities, as well as its own main plot, the fates of Agata and Wyrm Tail (along with his crew) are left unaccounted for by the end. With the pinhole systems being left asunder after Birdy destroyed the Sanctum Sanctorum and the star systems subsequently losing communications with one another, the fate of the galaxy at large is also left in the air. | |

Spell My Name with an S | |
Birdy the Mighty (Manga) / int_89a17726 | comment |
Spell My Name With An S: The subtitles of the OVA prefer to romanize the last part of Birdy's name as "Altirra," though fans have also used "Altera." The English dub switched "Cephon" and "Altirra" around, resulting in "Birdy Altirra Cephon". Then there's "Altaria" (Uh...), used by Funimation on Youtube for Decode. The DVD release was contradictory, as the subtitles used "Altira", but the credits used "Altera". Though technically, "Altirra/Altera/Altaria" is only used to identify where Birdy's from and her species and really isn't offically part of her name. also, in an in-universe example, on earth in the modeling business, Birdy goes by the name "Shion Arita", which seems to be a corruption of "Cephon Altirra". Revi's android daughter name is either spelt Ondine or Undine. Then there's Violeen/Violene/Violin. Also Bachilus/Botulus/Bacillus | |

Asshole Victim: Subverted with Nagase Goro, the nosy Jerkass police detective hounding Tsutomu for suspicions of causing trouble in the neighborhood. While he's not a nice man, he was only doing his job and didn't deserve to be killed by Bacillus. Bacillus himself is set on fire by Salamander and dies screaming of how Gomez could betray him. Considering what a selfish, mass-murdering bastard he is, there's no pity to be had. Bishop Mace gets his brains blown out by one of his subordinates in the middle of ranting over a justification for nuking Earth again. While Neith was thoroughly provoked into acting out of line for a propaganda piece and the actions of the JSDF are portrayed negatively, it's hard to feel bad for her knowing she was a vicious war criminal and Torture Technician herself. | |

Unscrupulous Hero: Gomez is eventually revealed to be this. He might oversee Revi's work, which involves turning a blind eye to some heinous crimes, but he is always watching her to determine if she is on the just path or not. | |

Birdy the Mighty (Manga) / int_90dfa0d0 | comment |
Noble Top Enforcer: Gomez in every incarnation, as he works for the terrorist Christella Revi but also lends advice and help to Birdy on a number of occasions. In Decode, this makes him an interesting foil to the first season's villain, Shyamalan, whom he attempts to dissuade from deploying a superweapon on Earth—despite the fact that Gomez is not human, while Shyamalan is. | |

Art Shift | |
Birdy the Mighty (Manga) / int_912b24c4 | comment |
Art Shift: The animation in the second half of the OVA was more cartoony. Also the animation in the seventh and twelfth episodes of the second season of Decode is looser and sketchier than the rest of the series, but expresses extreme momentum and force in the scenes where it is used. There is also the obvious difference in art style caused by 12 years sliding by between the OVA and Decode, with most of the characters not even looking similar. | |

In the rebooted manga, Birdy's first meeting with Tsutomu's dad happens in the same manner, but to dispel suspicion she leaves the bathroom (still naked) in Tsutomu's body, making his parents think he's becoming a Home Nudist. When she sneaks out of the house to confront Bacillus, she materializes her uniform into her when she body shifts, but after the fight with Bacillus is over and she changes back, Tsutomu finds himself naked on the streets in the middle of the night forcing him to go Streaking his way home. Naturally, he bumps into his Love Interest Hayamiya and she comes to the conclusion he's an exhibitionist. | |

Greater-Scope Villain: Revi is this for the first half of the manga, financing and lightly supporting Hikawa from the shadows but otherwise not being active in the plot. The alternate universe Satyajit Shyamalan casts a shadow over the entire series, being indirectly responsible for everything, and the concept of the character is retroactively this for the entire franchise. | |

Until he and Revi accomplish their mutual goals of defeating the Sanctum Sanctorum, he will never let her die, nor will he let anyone else (Birdy) take her in. | |

Super Gender-Bender: An interesting variant, where the protagonist doesn't really turn into a female superheroic version of himself but is instead forced to be fused with a female Human Alien superheroine after she accidentally destroyed his original body. As a result, the two actually are separate characters, but share the same body and can switch between their respective appearance according to the situation. | |

General Failure: Mace demonstrates to be a lousy commander in chief and Nechla undermines his authority fearing his incompetence. He does not take this well. | |

Living Legend: Among Altans, Revi is viewed as a legendary figure that rose to prominence despite being a third-rate citizen. Even now among the oppressed populace, she is viewed as a hero that inspires hope among the downtrodden Altans. | |

Birdy the Mighty (Manga) / int_a18d407b | comment |
Samus Is a Girl: Not a strict use of the trope as Revi isn't an Action Girl, but in the remake manga and Decode no one, not even Birdy, outside a few people know that she is a woman. Averted in the original manga and OVA where it's pretty well-known what gender Revi is. In the remade manga, Tsutomu and his family even end up staying at Revi's house for a little without him or Birdy realizing it — though that's because in the remake, Revi was born male and is only female due to being the result of a failed case of Two Being One Body herself. | |

Revi is also this, treating her Marionettes and Gomez as if they are equals, often telling them to drop the formalities and talk to her casually. | |

Really Royalty Reveal: In the Millennium Beats arc, it's revealed the Chigira family were Altan royalty that descended to Earth with the Arita dynasty. They broke off from the Aritas due to a disagreement over their agendas. Birdy is directly descended from Etania's bloodline, hence her unnatural strength even by Ixorian standards. Her distinct slitted pupils are also proof of it, and it's one of the first things her captors in Volume 9 check on to verify. | |

He is given this treatment by his friends and Shigenobu, who finally decided to let him go with how far gone he is. Nechla wasn't willingly evil in almost anything she did, nor did she choose her path in life, and finally finds peace in death after murdering her lover. The grief of killing her sends Birdy into mental shock. | |

I Choose to Stay: Gomez makes it clear he isn't holding Chigira prisoner and allows him to leave his estate should he desire, only warning him of the realistic consequences of him doing so. Chigira chooses to stay with Gomez of his own will despite Birdy's insistence on returning him to his old life. | |

For the Evulz: Although Hikawa does have an end goal, he commits many horrific acts of pure evil simply to sate his bloodlust or pester his rival Shigenobu. Deconstructed in a realistic way when his acts of gratuitous cruelty alienate all his allies, funding for his research is suspended permanently, and he is sentenced to execution. | |

Birdy the Mighty (Manga) / int_af3ea0e3 | comment |
Face–Heel Turn: Greatly downplayed and subverted with Chigira. After the time skip, he is now on the side of Christella Revi and, as a member of a special forces unit, oversees the shadier aspects of her operations. Not only does he still retain his morals, his true loyalty is to Gomez. He helps Birdy escape captivity in volume nine at the cost of returning to Revi's side. | |

Ms. Fanservice: The looks of the women in this series are often emphasized for Fanservice, much more than the other continuities. Most notable is Nechla, who is tall, busty, and her outfits often leave nothing to the imagination. She is also one of the few characters seen on-screen having sex and spends most of volume eight naked in a healing tank with Birdy. | |

Birdy the Mighty (Manga) / int_b11ac9f5 | comment |
Abusive Parents: Sayaka's parents used her as the basis (guinea pig) for their neuroscience research, specifically implanting a human conscience into a robot for A.I. development, which later extended to militaristic purposes; the creation of autonomous killing machines that would become the Marionettes we see in the story is founded on the Nakasugi's work. This research was restarted when PMI took over and her father died, though they do try to pull her back in, voluntarily or not. | |

Fate Worse than Death: What Nechla views happening to her if she failed in her mission to capture or kill Revi, and thus she goads Gomez into killing her. Unfortunately, Gomez is aware of this as well and gives her brain damage over killing her, citing it's more fitting for her to live with the shame. | |

Perspective Reversal | |
Birdy the Mighty (Manga) / int_b24cfda5 | comment |
Perspective Reversal: The first season of Decode focuses mostly on Tsutomu and him dealing with all the weird and dangerous situations Birdy gets them into. The second season reverses it, putting much more emphasis on Birdy and reducing Tsutomu's presence. It's even reflected with animation following the closing titles - the first season features Tsutomu, second has Birdy. | |

Towa is taken aback by his mother's cruel intentions for Birdy and helps her escape from her clutches. | |

People Puppets: Birdy at times tends to take control of Tsutomu's form, much to the latter's annoyance and anger. In the remade manga, she tries to use his body to fight much to his relief, as he had accepted that the only way to save his friends from harm was for her to transform and fight off a monster. She ends up not being able to fight well in his form, but it all turns out okay in the end. | |

Demoted to Extra | |
Birdy the Mighty (Manga) / int_b8e3f20a | comment |
Demoted to Extra: In the original manga and OVA series, Natsumi Hayamiya was Tsutomu's crush from junior high, and had a significant amount of screentime in OVA episodes 3&4 ("Final Force"), after witnessing his transformation into Birdy. But in "Decode", she hardly has any presence at all and is only seen briefly in a couple of episodes. Plus, her role as Tsutomu's love interest is given to Sayaka. (While in the remake manga, she gets a better role as a trusted buddy of Tsutomu and begins going out with Sudou.) Capella is a major character in the rebooted manga. In Decode, her role is largely taken by Pontiff Nechla while she's later reduced to comic relief, a far cry from her original self. Egregious with Chigira in Decode. In the remake manga he was a central character at the center of the whole plot of the first half of the story, but in Decode he's reduced to being one of Tsutomu's friends, and his role from the manga, or at least a rough equivalent, went to Sayaka instead. Gomez and Revi are barely present in Decode. This is incredibly jarring considering the former's recurring importance in the manga and the latter being the main antagonist. | |

No Social Skills: As a result of a privileged, sheltered life, Sayaka is extremely awkward in social situations, with no sense of fashion and a personality that comes off as ditzy. Natsumi and Tsutomu find it endearing, though. In a very tragic way, Tunica's closed life and trauma made Revi conclude that Tunica was brought up as a non-human. She wasn't seen as a living, sentient creature, but a machine and treated as such. This led Revi to enact the ordinary education law for Ixorians, which allowed them to live normal lives as kids. The same law is what gave Birdy her freedom as a child. | |

Teeth-Clenched Teamwork: Over the course of the story, Birdy frequently finds herself cooperating with the enigmatic Gomez, whom she frankly detests for a variety of reasons. Late into the story, Birdy forms an extremely tenuous partnership with Revi herself. | |

Birdy the Mighty (Manga) / int_c3cdd2b8 | comment |
Water Source Tampering: Hikawa plans to contaminate Japan's sewers with an experimental serum to turn its populace into metahumans enslaved to his will. Unfortunately for him, as he and Gomez know, all his plan would accomplish is wipe out Japan instead with the faulty serum. | |

Birdy the Mighty (Manga) / int_c4b0faae | comment |
Can't Hold His Liquor: Birdy's resistance to alcohol in Decode is non-existent. She ends up plastered after a single can of beer a few seconds after drinking it. Granted, she's an alien, but still. (Hilariously, Birdy in the OVA doesn't seem to have this problem.) | |

Tokyo Is the Center of the Universe | |
Birdy the Mighty (Manga) / int_c5594984 | comment |
Tokyo Is the Center of the Universe: Natch, though in season 2 of Decode out of all of Earth's cities Season 2's villains could have escaped to, it somehow just HAD to be Tokyo. While the city is indeed an apparent favorite for the series's aliens, the group in question were partly responsible for a narrowly avoided Class X annihilation event who's epicenter was Toyko, which led to the firing of a Kill Sat on the city, the resulting ruins of said firing being a major set piece throughout the season. Justified in season 2, where one of the escapees explicitly says he wanted to go to the place where the Ryunka was used. An earlier episode implies that the amount of alien activity in Tokyo is actually not unusual for a city its size. Presumably, every comparable city on Earth has lots of disguised aliens running around, too. | |

Magic Pants: The OVA played around with this. Initially, Tsutomu's outfit did not change when Tsutomu changed into Birdy, leading to a girl in boy's clothing kicking monsters around. Later she incorporated her leotard-like uniform into the matrix so she'd be in her clothes, not his, after a transformation. | |

Also with Kidel and his subordinates: Being diminutive rat aliens that work purely as reconnaissance. Even if they could bite or claw at people, it would do nothing to the genetically enhanced monsters and cyborgs they're up against. | |

What the Hell, Hero?: Birdy actually considered trying to cover up what happened to Tsutomu before Tuto pointed out that he was recording what happened and hence it was impossible, so Birdy decides to help Tsutomu after all. How serious she was is questionable, but she's reprimanded by her superiors nonetheless. While going through Birdy's memories after she goes comatose following her battle with Undine, Tsutomu calls out Megius on his segregation of Ixorians from the general populace and inaction against the discrimination Altans endure under the Federation. | |

Notable in that while her love for Towa isn't enough to dissuade Revi from evil or her ultimate goals, she does acknowledge Towa as one of humanity's potential champions for the future in the epilogue. Gomez's love for his Earth family is a core part of what keeps his heart together admist his sinister occupation, and lord help anyone that threatens them. Motive Rant: Mace explodes into these when his subordinates question him, raving about their duties to their gods, how they must "avenge" Nechla, and so on. | |

O.O.C. Is Serious Business Gomez breaks a sweat and panics when Nechla ridicules him in captivity, dangling the probability of tattling to Revi about his deception if he doesn't kill her. Revi abruptly yells in a rage while interrogating a brain damaged Nechla. She quickly goes back to her usual self, however, and never loses her cool again for the remainder of the series. After Capella takes shelter in Tsutomu's house once the war between the Federation and Earth kicks off, she starts causing environmental damage that leads to the deaths of several people. When she rubs this into Birdy's face and how she does not have the legal authority to control her, Birdy later contemplates killing Capella in her sleep. Fortunately, she reminds herself she is not a murderer, and finds a peaceful alternative to detaining Capella with Gomez's aid. | |

The Heretic | |
Birdy the Mighty (Manga) / int_e905c892 | comment |
The Heretic: Maxwell was always viewed as something along the lines of this, constantly questioning the scriptures of the church and having his own ideas on faith. He eventually becomes this outright to the department of worship, and his legacy as a heretic is used to instill fear into their worshippers. In the present, Revi also has the designation and is marked for assassination. | |

Old, Dark House: Hikawa mainly lives in a remote ancient mansion falling apart at the seams. The house is referred to as "cursed" by children that dared to go near it. Officially, it belongs to Seichiro Hikawa, his grandfather, thus Shogo inherited it from him. Considering Shogo is actually Seichiro, it's his house from the start. | |

0% Approval Rating: Even as the president of his own company, Hikawa is hated and feared by all his employees. Apart from some halfassed reassurances to keep them in line, Hikawa does nothing to make them feel better. Unsurprisingly, the remnants of his staff are much happier under Agni after the time skip. Despite his high standing and how conscious he is of his authority, none of Bishop Mace's subordinates on-screen are shown to respect him, only fearing the trouble he might cause. Nechla even subverts his leadership by doing her job her own way. The Shyamalan of the parallel world is noted to be viewed unfavorably in his own company and out. | |

Fallen Princess: The sheer trauma of losing her grandfather, murdering her maid (who was serving as a Parental Substitute), combined with being partially responsible for two unrelated mass slaughters left Sayaka completely broken. And then she had her memory of those events wiped, leaving an empty emotional hole, while unable to even recall her friends or her grandfather's funeral. If that wasn't enough, she ends up on a farm run by her very distant relatives, who aren't exactly handling the situation with depressive, lonely girl in a new place particularly well. | |

Strong and Skilled: Gomez is not vastly physically superior to Birdy, but incredibly skilled and disciplined in fighting. As Birdy's ineffectual barrage of wild attacks fails to do anything to Gomez in their first "fight," he thoroughly criticizes her for being Unskilled, but Strong. He later trains Chigira to do more than just throw his weight around with his newfound powers. | |

Thou Shall Not Kill: Birdy abhors the idea of killing in the line of duty and makes it a point to always arrest her targets; this puts her at odds with many every other Federation agents that have no qualms of killing. When faced with the dilemma of putting down Hikawa for the sake of humanity, she still tries to only detain him until he nearly kills her. In the few instances since where Birdy has killed sentient beings, she was left with absolutely no choice due to the threat her enemies posed. | |

Ryota is left in anguish over being unable to do anything to make him reconsider. Sayaka chooses to leave for the countryside with her mother after she regains consciousness from her accident. She later returns to Japan at Revi's calling, for very good reason. | |

Undying Loyalty: Subverted with Gomez towards Revi. Gomez expresses to Birdy that although he agrees wholeheartedly with Revi's endgame, he is watching her very carefully to determine whether she herself is truly just or simply a petty criminal - at which point, he will ditch her on the spot. His loyalty to Chigira, however, is undying to the point he covertly frees Birdy from captivity, going directly against Revi's interests, simply because it deeply hurt Chigira to see her in such a state. | |

Unskilled, but Strong: Birdy often gets by throwing her freakish strength and endurance around, but when faced with Gomez he criticizes her lack of real finesse and discipline. Much later into Evolution, she also fares poorly against Nechla, an Ixorian who is comparatively not as strong or durable as her, but a trained assassin who incapacitates her with precise attacks on her non-vitals. Even up to the Final Battle, Gomez scolds her for her lack of finesse. | |

Your Terrorists Are Our Freedom Fighters: In the flashback, we see in the second season of Decode, a lot of Revi's actions are an attempt to force the Federation to improve the lot of Altirrans so they aren't treated with racism and like lower class citizens anymore. A lot of her actions have included terrorist attacks on key government buildings, allying herself with members of the Federation's enemies, and trying to obtain a Doomsday Device In the manga, the story is a little bit different. Revi is recognized as a genius and quickly climbs to a high rank in the government science branch despite her race. Her terrorist attack on the central government is inexplicable and followed by several more destructive bombings before disappearing to Earth. | |

Birdy the Mighty (Manga) / int_f933e594 | comment |
How the Mighty Have Fallen: As a result of his stupidity in bullying Shigenobu around, he suspends all funding for Hikawa and attempts to arrest him. In the fallout of the battle between Shegenobu's men, his small army of mutants, and Birdy and Ondine, Hikawa is reduced to a homeless fugitive deprived of resources to even control his Rapid Aging. He attempts to plead to Shigenobu to take him back in, to which he vehemently refuses, forcing Hikawa to make him consent through violence. Even then it doesn't last long as Hikawa is killed in a joint alliance between enemies and former allies alike. | |

Talking to Themself | |
Birdy the Mighty (Manga) / int_fb8b5014 | comment |
Talking to Themself: Since Birdy and Tsutomu are Sharing a Body and the one in control has no means to silently communicate with the one in the Mental World they often talk to each other aloud, and characters around them tend to think that they've gone crazy. In the manga, this is even taken so far as Tsutomu not understanding Birdy's superior's speaking, while Birdy herself can. | |

Riches to Rags: After Shigenobu takes everything from him, Hikawa is forced into living in a filthy shithole in hiding since the former also blew up his mansion. Also, this ironically befalls Shigenobu after the timeskip with Gozo Mido's death, as he's reduced to being homeless. | |

Accidental Murder | |
Birdy the Mighty (Manga) / int_fd497706 | comment |
Accidental Murder: Geega tricking Birdy into fatally wounding Tsutomu by accident is what triggers the plot in all iterations of the core story. While being pursued by Birdy, Geega takes Tsutomu hostage, throws him at her, and she accidentally attacks him in reflex. In the original manga and OVA, she electrocutes him to death. In II she blows a hole in his chest with a punch and in the Decode anime her punch tears him in half! Birdy then merges with him so he can survive until a new body is constructed. | |

Birdy the Mighty (Manga) / int_fd4f8299 | comment |
Well-Intentioned Extremist: Christella Revi is fighting an evil conspiracy in the form of the Sanctum Sanctorum to free the galaxy from their machinations. In a twist of sharp irony, however, the Sanctum Sanctorum is this as well: the reason they lord themselves as absolute gods and subvert free will is solely to ensure "mortals" do not repeat the same mistakes of Satyajit Shyamalan. In the end, their conflict vs Revi is best summarized as Order vs. Chaos. | |

Dark and Troubled Past | |
Birdy the Mighty (Manga) / int_fed93e1b | comment |
Dark and Troubled Past: From what we once see of her recurring nightmares, Lee lived in poverty and was in debt to the wrong people. As a person prior to her transformation, Lee was in love with Hikawa for rescuing her from her terrible life, believing he would never hurt her. He would obviously never return any affection for her, and of course, he would do more than just hurt her. Nechla was indoctrinated into worshipping the Sanctum Sanctorum since childhood and envied the carefree life Birdy lived. When her faith began to waver, Nechla was severely punished and made to beg for forgiveness so she does not suffer the same fate as Maxwell Peridan. Her role was promptly repurposed into that of an assassin for her masters, being told killing "heretics" is the only way she could attain "redemption." After all that, it's no surprise Nechla is so screwed up deep down | |

Death Seeker: Undine!Sayaka feels the only way it can amend for its (Sayaka's) role in creating weapons for war is to kill Sayaka's comatose self and take it with her to the grave. Nechla implores, if not outright begs, Birdy to kill her after she murders Kashu. While Revi does have an endgoal, one has to wonder if she desires to die based on some demonstrations of blatant disregard for her own safety. Gomez surmises that Revi fully plans on dying in her eventual confrontation with the Sanctum Sanctorum, but he will never see to it that she doesn't pay for her crimes with in court. | |
