Psychic Squad, known in Japan as Zettai Karen Children (絶対���ルドレン, Absolutely Lovely Children), is the adventures of three middle-school girls with Psychic Powers and their long-suffering supervisor in a world where those with power are both treated with prejudice and form the most prominent crime-fighting organization in the world, BABEL. Oh, and did we mention the girls are the three most powerful known espers around?The manga is written and illustrated by Takashi Shiina (the creator of Ghost Sweeper Mikami) and was serialized in Weekly Shonen Sunday from 2005 to 2021 and compiled into 63 volumes. It later received a 51-episode anime adaptation produced by SynergySP, which aired on TV Tokyo from 2008 to 2009. In 2010, the series got an OVA set during the girls' middle school years, and in 2013, the series got a Darker and Edgier Spin-Off, Unlimited Psychic Squad, which focuses on Hyoubu and PANDRA.The TV series was licensed for streaming and R1 DVD for a while, but is no longer available. Kaoru, Aoi and Shiho appeared in the Massive Multiplayer Crossover game, Sunday VS Magazine: Shuuketsu! Choujou Daikessen.

Stop, or I Shoot Myself!
 Psychic Squad (Manga) / int_11519098
comment
Stop, or I Shoot Myself!: The thug in episode 51 attempts to do this, then goes on a rant about how the girls are special and don't have the same problems he faced and suffered from for being an esper. However, Minamoto tells him that he can choose how he lives his own life, not just by what others tell him to do. This stops him long enough for the girls to disarm him.

Amazingly Embarrassing Parents: Aoi's, as seen in episode 31 when she visits her hometown of Kyoto with Minamoto and Ken. Her father at first attacks Minamoto due to suspecting him of being a paedophile, and later is teased by several women, prompting his wife to then purchase some expensive kimonos out of anger and jealousy.

Does This Remind You of Anything?
 Psychic Squad (Manga) / int_14ed6ab7
comment
Does This Remind You of Anything?: Muscle Okama uses crotch blasts. What do his crotch blasts do? They make things "harder" or "softer". A non-sexual example of this trope is the scale used to describe the power levels of espers. The Description of the effects of espers at various levels appear to be taken almost word for word from the JMA earthquake scale, making the heroines literally Persons of Mass Destruction. Evoked in-series when Muscle wanted to teach Mio how to cook, she started cutting up cucumbers and carrots, which evoked a fear of castration in Muscle because of the vaguely phallic form of the vegetables.

The Worf Effect
 Psychic Squad (Manga) / int_178ca149
comment
The Worf Effect: In his initial appearance, Grisham 'ESPer Killer' is a Cloudcuckoolander in a Badass Longcoat who manhandles and manipulates BABEL and Comerica. His second appearance? Jobbing to some punk who decides Grisham is Not Worth Killing. Admittedly, said 'Punk' is capable of going head-to-head with Major Kyosuke, and it eventually took a Limit Break from Kaoru to stop him. He was also under More than Mind Control at the time, making him immune to Grisham's telepathic attacks.

The Cameo: Nagi and Hayate. Episode 33 has full and voiced appearances by several members of the Hayate cast, with Nagi and Hayate being the most major. Also, Dorothy, Ginka Toramizu, Shiro Inuzuka, Tadao Yokoshima, Tiger Torakichi, Eila Juutilainen, Sanya Litvyak, Perrine Clostermann, Yukata Kobayakawa, Minami Iwasaki, Ink Nijihara (Moetan), Mario and Nabeshin make appearances. These ones are easy to miss. In episode 40, the Karen Girls, the ones who sang the OP, make an appearance. In episode 27, Kaoru blames her behavior on "that Nikkumaru": Nikkumaru Sarutobi, the skirt-flipping ninja hero of 80's manga/anime Sasuga No Sarutobi. The Karen Girls also appear on the magazine Hyobu is reading, along with Ghost Sweeper Mikami.

The Glomp
 Psychic Squad (Manga) / int_1ba34641
comment
Minamoto is also afflicted by this in episode 49. Because of a memory block and hypno applied by Hyobu to help Momotaro restore his memory, Minamoto looks and acts like his ten year old self. However, he is still fairly intelligent, and praises both Kashiwagi and Sakaki for their efforts to help. Both of them then give him The Glomp as a result. The girls get jealous when Kashiwagi does it, then she joins them when Sakaki does his.

Deal with the Devil: Or Kyosuke, who's close enough, on several occasions. Evidence 1: In an occasion he creates a situation for Minamoto to ask for his help, but he realizes it is a trick to make him his mindless puppet Evidence 2: He tempts Minamoto once more by having him spend a day with The Children as his 12-year-old self and offers him a chance to make it permanent Evidence 3: The president of Comerica promises his younger son, a humongous brat and level-7 esper, to PANDRA if Minamoto can't get him under control (just one all-powerful demon child with issues? no problem!).

In the Name of the Moon: Complete with sentai-style smoke-bombs at the end. Lampshaded by Aoi, Minamoto, hell anyone who's watching as they all think it's a bit silly. The speech is never the same one twice. Even when Aoi's going on a mission alone, she still does a heroic speech. While it doesn't turn out completely perfect, the finale even has The Hound trying their hand at one.

When Tsubomi goes on a diplomatic mission abroad, Hotaru asks her to buy "Nannel perfume" (a spoof of the fashion company Chanel, who is especially famous for their perfumes) in a duty-free shop.

Happens to the girls, Minamoto, and Sakaki in episode 45 after the girls approach a boy that the latter two believe may have latent esper powers. Minamoto tells them to observe him secretly, so of course the girls greet him up front, causing him to wonder who they are.

Gratuitous English: "The Children" for a start (yes, the "The" is important and capitalised), then we have BAse of Backing Esp. Laboratory. Goofier than that is the PANDRA ad in episode 27. "Let's join us!" In the manga version, it's actually hard to find chapters whose titles don't contain gratuitous English. In English translations of the manga, this is lost for obvious reasons. The three girls do this in the OVA during a class. See the Suspiciously Specific Denial entry for further info.

comment
Self-Fulfilling Prophecy: Tied to Hyobu's Start of Darkness. In episode 2, the pre-cogs predict some terrible things will happen, such as a gas station on fire, so they get the girls out into the locations. While they do save a pilot's life, they forget about the plane and inadvertently cause it to crash, causing the fire the pre-cogs saw. They later crash an aerial accident when Kaoru's powers go out of control and crashes their helicopter into the building the pre-cogs once again saw. Minamoto was savvy enough to realize they were the only aircraft in the vicinity, but warned the pilot too late.

Even Evil Has Standards: ESPer supremacist group PANDRA is totally opposed to the brainwashing esper Terrorists Without a Cause Black Phantom. Black Phantom is slightly disturbed at themselves for turning children into Tyke Bombs, and remedies this by "not letting them get infected with emotion so they can live unaware they they're human".

Heart Is an Awesome Power: Psychometry. It seems like the kind of thing that wouldn't be much use in combat (and it actually isn't at first), until Shiho explains that psychometry grants Improbable Aiming Skills and lets her use any weapon like a prothe second she picks it up. Don't believe it? Toss her a shamsir and see how long you live.

Kick the Dog: Just in case there was any worry of the PANDRA sliding into Anti-Villain territory, they blow up a plane to smoke out a Black Phantom agent, smugly explaining that normals have no right to live. In front of Kaoru. Given that Kyosuke has bent over backwards to paint PANDRA as La Résistance, you'd think he'd have explained the whole "hearts and minds" thing. It's then followed up by Kyosuke erasing Kaoru's memory of the incident so that she'll be more likely to join them in the future. Not to mention the whole "trying to turn a young girl into a living WMD against Normals despite knowing that this will eventually lead to her death."

How Minamoto, back then in university, provoked Sakaki into hitting him and reading his thoughts through his psychometric powers to convince him of being less selfish and confrontative.

Person of Mass Destruction: Pretty much all characters treat those three girls like that in the beginning. Minamoto might be the first to think of them as actual people. Kaoru definitely is one and is still growing into her powers; Fujiko and Hyobu are already there. Aoi and Shiho don't cause big blasts, but Aoi can teleport people into solid matter, among other things, and Shiho's power suddenly becomes really scary when applied to international politics or stuff like launch codes.

When she first met Aoi, she bullied her and mutilated her toys because she figured people were going to be afraid of her anyway, so they may as well hate her first (she also did it because Aoi annoyed her by being a normal kid worried about her relatively non-destructive power). This was when she was four.

Secret Test of Character: In episode 28, Fujiko, as the head of BABEL and therefore outranking even the chief Taizo Kiritsubo, reassigns Minamoto from being the children's supervisor to being needed in the R&D department. He's rather unhappy there, and then sees a vision of the girls in danger. Fujiko then confronts him and asks if he's risking his career, and life, by disobeying her orders. He says he will for the sake of the girls. Turns out that the girls were completely okay, and in fact were putting ketchup on themselves to make it look like they suffered seriously. Unfortunately Minamoto arrives before they're done, and he sees them in the act. However, Fujiko was testing him to see if he had the resolve necessary to protect the girls and change the future if needed.

No wonder they all fixated so heavily on him...

Date Peepers: The Children spy on a supposed date between Naomi and her art teacher. The chief get his date peep too... using spy satellites. In episode 18, Kaoru spends an afternoon jealously following Aoi and Shiho around on their dates. She eventually teams up with the Chief to take date peeping past eleven. A particularly hilarious variation happens when Minamoto goes to his home town for a marriage interview with a girl which happens to be his childhood friend. Since the Chief and Fujiko and Kyousuke are interested in this, and bring their men with them to participate in peeping, it ends up in a chaotic all-out battle between BABEL and PANDRA.

Honor Before Reason: The Children get very agitated when Minamoto does the pragmatic thing rather than the right thing. In one instance, he lets the Big Bad get away rather then subject The Children to the sight of a normal human shooting an esper in cold blood. Unusually for the this trope, it works for the best. The fact that Minamoto honestly tries to live up to this standard has Kaoru reacting to Kyosuke's nastier actions and beliefs with horror and disgust in later episodes. Kaoru goes way, way out on a limb to trust Mio and the other PANDRA kids at their word, even though she is very much aware of the risk.

A Twinkle in the Sky: In episode 29, after Minamoto learns he's been tricked by Fujiko again, he takes a crocodile that Kaoru teleported with them, and bats her and the hospice girl into the sky for playing with his emotions again.

All of the Other Reindeer: A very pleasant aversion comes when the Children rescue some bank employees from the Normal People. The bank manager thanks them and says that he considers the Normal People to be idiots. Played straight when the girls first look at the kids going to school in episode 5. While they berate the kids, Minamoto senses they want to go too, but can't because of their esper powers, which Kaoru demonstrates in a simulation class when she blasts a robot boy in the head after he insults espers. But fortunately for the girls he manages to find a way for them to go.

Wham Line: Minamoto says he's quitting after thinking he's been played a fool in episode 28 and the beginning of 29. The girls don't take that very well, and cause a lot of destruction while crying. Minamoto's line prompts Fujiko to say one to him shortly afterwards when he refuses to cooperate with her. She says the lines that he foresaw in episode 26 before shooting Kaoru in the vision of the future. He immediately stops protesting and goes with her to discuss things.

Wise Beyond Their Years: Although ten, Shiho has a pretty good idea of how dark the world can be thanks to her powers. Minamoto finds it a little disconcerting that even solving murder cases by psychically extracting clues from the murder weapons doesn't really upset her. It's not that it doesn't upset her, she gets stressed out when she doesn't get enough crazy murders to solve.

Disproportionate Retribution: Several examples: Minamoto suffers from this a lot from Kaoru. Sometimes he deserves it, but usually it's her overreacting to something and taking it out on him. In episode 21, Kashiwagi and the other BABEL staff sees the life-sized robot of her Kugutsu was building. Though he was actually building it for Kaoru due to Black Mail from her, the latter lies and says he had a crush on Kashiwagi. When she sees the robot, Kashiwagi pulls out a gatling gun, and blasts it repeatedly.

Crazy-Prepared: Minamoto in general, and BABEL to a lesser extent. He has enough working knowledge to figure out how to resolve the situations he's in, and can sometimes plan for them, such as the use of ECCM (Esper counter counter measure) in episode 7, and BABEL often provides them with whatever support is needed for their missions.

Fantastic Racism: Espers are subjected to this by normal people, with very few exceptions. They attemp to justify it because espers have strange powers and as a result seem different, and therefore scary, to people unfamiliar with it. And it doesn't help that some espers, such as the PANDRA group, use their powers largely to harm people, and further reinforcing the stereotype that all espers are bad.

Eviler than Thou: Episode 37 introduces the criminal organization Black Phantom. One Brainwashed and Crazy esper assassin sent by the organization was able to take on Hyobu, and it took a Deus ex Machina courtesy of Kaoru to stop him. Where by Deus ex Machina you mean the plot point the previous 36 episodes have been building up to, but yes. Hyobu was trying to save his opponent, not kill him. He was about to give up and take off the gloves when Kaoru smacked him into a wall. A minion later notes that most of his injuries came from Kaoru. The assassin did manage to give Hyobu trouble thanks to his ability to manipulate bullets. Specifically, he manipulated the bullets that had been left inside Hyobu's body for the last few decades after his former army superior tried to kill him.

Serious Business: The dodgeball game in episode 6. The BABEL chief, and Kaoru, attempting to sabotage Aoi's and Shiho's dates in episode 18. He goes so far as to have Kaoru use her powers to control the boys, and the chief orders his men to use their esper jammer to restrain the girls. Fujiko's attempts at trying to help Minamoto in episode 29. He sees through much of her acts, and for the most part doesn't buy it due to how silly some of the things turn out to be, such as hospice girl breaking character or forgetting to take her name tag off when disguised as an adult Kaoru. However, her plan ultimately succeeds, since it causes Minamoto to reconsider resigning and to protect the girls from the bad future Hyobu is trying to get them into. Hyobu playing and losing repeated games against Momotaro in episode 31. Sakaki playing a racing game against Shiho in episode 32.

Fortunately for him Minamoto calms her down and brings her sanity back in time before she did any lasting damage to the guy.

Yuri Genre: Episode 36 takes a potshot at the genre. It may qualify as an Indecisive Parody; while Kaoru and Sakaki's lustful Lampshade Hanging is clearly a gag, the vase of white lilies, focus on the girls' hands, subtext, and Bait-and-Switch Lesbians are all hallmarks of the genre played completely straight.

Trauma Conga Line: Kugutsu suffers this in episode 21. After being forced to build a life-sized robot of Kashiwagi for Kaoru, the latter throws him under the bus by claiming the robot was secretly for him and that he was a Stalker with a Crush. Kashiwagi blasts her robot self with a gatling gun, turns him down, and he's chastised by several of the BABEL employees all because Kaoru accidentally let her deal with him slip out. And to make matters worse, Ranko Kaneko, the girl he was really interested in and was about to give a Love Confession to, assumed he was interested in Kashiwagi, and instead agrees to go on a date with Sakaki instead. He vows revenge on them all afterwards for the humiliation.

You Can't Fight Fate: Kyosuke constantly states that Kaoru's future Face–Heel Turn is inevitable, and that Minamoto's attempts to resist are pointless, but he's not above using Laser-Guided Amnesia to make sure fate stays inevitable. Subverted in that he is trying to avoid the fate of having Kaoru killed by Minamoto. Zigzagged in episode 26, with Lt. Ikyuugo, who predicted he was going be shot. The BABEL chief says that the Lieutenant's predictions have a 100% chance of occurring, and he's made over three thousand predictions already. In the end, he does get shot, but Minamoto intercepts a few of those bullets by having Aoi teleport him to the lieutenant at the last second. He is seen jumping out of the water at the end, indicating that he survived the gunshot wound he took.

comment
Because You Were Nice to Me: Aside from the BABEL chief, the girls gradually start warming up to Minamoto because he saw them as people, rather than dangerous animals as their previous supervisor and other people did. Colonel Grisham does his plan in episodes 15 and 16 because the little girl who saw him hiding from the Japanese soldiers instead brought him some much needed water. As a result, when she became old and was nearing death, he manipulated several espers to remove the water from a dam to reveal the house the girl grew up in so she could see it one last time.

Multiple Demographic Appeal: Despite the girls supposedly being the stars of the story, Minamoto, Sakaki and Hyoubu's popularity usually give them a run for their money, to the pleasure of the female readers (fujoshi or not). This gets more evident in the spin-off series with all three getting even more screentime than them.

Screw the Rules, I Make Them!: In episode 41, Prince Badjura decides that even though royalty isn't supposed to marry non-royalty, he's going to do it anyway because he's in love with Sera (he also has his bodyguards with various weapons and an elephant at the ready to take out his grandmother if the trio should fail, but it's unlikely that they would've helped much, anyway). His grandmother doesn't approve of it, but eventually backs down after being bested in combat with the Children, and losing the support of the other elder spirits, who are okay with him marrying the girl he loves. This helps to clue Minamoto in that maybe he can also avert that vision he keeps seeing of shooting Kaoru years later.

The previous supervisor takes this to awful levels. In the anime, she forces three preteen girls to wear irremovable collars, and repeatedly states that she considers them to be animals. Unforgivable mistreatment of any child, and not any way to ensure that your resident people of mass destruction grow up happy and well-adjusted. This is actually toned down from the manga, where she subjects The Children to Electric Torture.

In general, any episodes that has Chisato and Tono in it. Usually things are comedic and light-hearted in nature when they're around, as opposed to actively fighting against high level espers who are trying to either kill or at least harm their friends.

Cuteness Proximity: Happens to Akira in episode 33 when he takes over a seal's body. The girls and Kashiwagi can barely contain themselves and constantly cuddle him. Minamoto is also afflicted by this in episode 49. Because of a memory block and hypno applied by Hyobu to help Momotaro restore his memory, Minamoto looks and acts like his ten year old self. However, he is still fairly intelligent, and praises both Kashiwagi and Sakaki for their efforts to help. Both of them then give him The Glomp as a result. The girls get jealous when Kashiwagi does it, then she joins them when Sakaki does his.

Psychometry: Shiho is one of the setting's most powerful users of psychometry. Along with Touch Telepathy she can handle objects used by criminals and provide details about the crime and how the object was used. Her father, a chief of police, was taking advantage of this while she was still in grade school.

Wham Episode: Episode 7, when stuff seriously hits the fan for the first time. The girls, Minamoto, and their pilot are kidnapped by the terrorist group, the Normal People. To make matters worse, the terrorists also got their hands on an esper jamming device being co-developed by BABEL due to a mole working in the military, and they threaten to kill Kaoru if Minamoto doesn't give them the password to his laptop which has the datafiles on every known esper. In episode 22, Sakaki is suspected of being a spy. Minamoto refuses to believe this and tries to investigate it, only to find out Kugutsu is the real traitor. In episode 23, Minamoto's apartment is trashed by one of the PANDRA members, and he's kidnapped by them. OVA episode #1 sends the message loud and clear in the first two minutes: the OVA isn't going to be nearly as lighthearted as the TV series.

"Not So Different" Remark
 Psychic Squad (Manga) / int_984ef9ef
comment
"Not So Different" Remark: Used twice in episode 3: Minamoto is at first angry that the three girls want to move in the apartment he moved into. However, Shiho examines a class picture where he wasn't in it, and sees that he was "different" in his own way (too smart in his case), much like they are. The bank robber attempts to appeal to the girls this way as well after they're inadvertently led there and tied up with the other hostages. Several characters tell Minamoto that he should reassure the girls as they're feeling confused right now, and could very well go down the wrong path if they follow the bank robber instead of stopping him. Fortunately the girls still have a sense of justice and stop the bad guy. Minamoto also allows them to stay with him afterwards as well. Hyobu attempts to appeal to Kaoru about this from time to time, stating that only an esper can understand the plights other espers suffer from.

He says that he feels a little responsible for awakening the colonel's powers back then when he destroyed the bomber the latter was on during World War II.

Gambit Roulette: Usually, Minamoto's planning is completely believable, but in the episode where he gets the Normal People to threaten Kaoru and fall into his trap, even if we accept that he had concealed an emergency ECCM and limiter release program in his laptop for just such a contingency, which admittedly is in character for him, he still got lucky in that Kaoru was the Child being threatened instead of Shiho (who lacks direct combat powers).

What Measure Is a Non-Human?: At first, Minamoto thinks that Momotaro is a dangerous animal to be put down rather than a being with rights. Kaoru doesn't take it well. Later in that episode, this is discussed when Kyosuke comments that he doesn't see himself as human and humans don't either, and he challenges Minamoto to shoot him and prove his point. Of course, the Normal People see all espers as nonhumans who should be destroyed.

What Measure Is a Non-Super?: The flip side of What Measure Is a Non-Human?.

Minamoto and BABEL try to Take a Third Option and work for harmony between humans and espers, while The Children don't even make us-and-them distinctions in the first place.

The Gunslinger: Shiho has become one in more recent episodes. She was always one in the manga, but they censored it in the anime until it was necessary for the story to turn Darker and Edgier. Apparently Psychometry gives you Improbable Aiming Skills by knowing where the bullet will go. Which also explains Sakaki's Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass.

Override Command: After being captured by the Normals terrorist group, they demand Minamoto reveal the password to his laptop, which has information on every known esper location from BABEL. They wanted it so that they could then take out said espers, which they view as a threat to humanity. Minamoto is then forced to give it to them after Kaoru is captured due to the ECM (esper counter measure) being deployed to prohibit their esper abilities. Turns out that the password he gave was actually a secret password to allow the laptop to give off ECCM (esper counter counter measure) waves, which counters the ECM, and allows the Children temporary use of their powers.

Action Dad: Minamoto: marksman, scientist, homemaker. In one episode, he forces his kidnapper to eat her vegetables and take a bath, and washes her panties and then uses the opportunity to his advantage (No, not like that). He cleans in his spare time, and his bento lunches are worth fighting a war over. He even has a moe moe apron.

Mood Whiplash: The series frequently switches tone from serious to comedic, sometimes within a few minutes (or, in the manga, in the space of a few panels). Even Minatmoto's vision of him killing Kaoru becomes an example when the characters themselves start parodying it.

Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass: To all appearances, Sakaki is an absent minded skirt-chaser who works in the lab. Then, he disarms someone at 500 meters with a hand gun. He later frightens off one of the more ethically challenged members of PANDRA with a Death Glare when Shiho and Minamoto are in danger. His introductory storyline in the manga is where his response to being shot and slowly bleeding to death is to calmly use his powers to stem the bleeding and keep the bullet from entering his heart, then directing several others in its removal. All the while, perfectly calm, despite the obviously excruciating pain he's in. And now, in a recent arc, he decks himself out in warpaint and CHOPS THE HEAD OFF OF A LION.

Loophole Abuse: Used twice in episode 43: Carry, Minamoto's old girlfriend from college is being pursued by the Comericans, and Minamoto escapes with her. The Comericans ask BABEL not to interfere in their attempt to capture her, and the Japanese government agrees, lest it causes an international incident. Hyobu naturally decides to meddle in the affairs, stating that if PANDRA attacks the Comerican agents, it shouldn't cause any issues with them helping Minamoto and Carry since they're considered terrorists. And after PANDRA gets involved, Taizo uses this opportunity to allow BABEL to intervene, since they're technically going in to stop Hyobu's group, not necessarily impede on the Comerican's efforts.

Hypocritical Humor: In episode 4, Naomi tries to stop an esper who's using his powers for perversion. Her trainer Tanzaki releases her limiter, and all of her attacks land on him instead of the pervert. She then says she'll avenge her trainer for the damage he's suffered, never mind that she was the one who caused it in the first place. The attacker meanwhile uses this opportunity to escape. In episode 9, Kaoru demands that Minamoto treat them like adults, since they're 10 years old. In the very next scene, she's throwing a temper tantrum like a kid because he won't buy a limited edition doll for her.

comment
Angst: Minamoto spends many a sleepless night worried about the legal and social discrimination faced by espers, especially the three under his care. It's kept far, far away from wangst because it isn't self-centered and he generally focuses that energy on productive endeavors, such as giving the Children the opportunity to go to school.

Qurac: The generic and unnamed Middle Eastern country where Kyousuke sold neo-clear fuel rods to a bunch of religious fundamentalist terrorists (until he had a change of heart, killed their rank and file, blew up their leader with one of the three totally-not-nukes and mailed the other two to Minamoto likely just to fuck with him).

Hyobu looks weak, but he often pretends to not have the upper hand to give his opponents a Hope Spot before utterly destroying them if he so wishes. Most of the time he only stops because Kaoru tells him to, or because he doesn't want to make her sad in the case of killing Minamoto.

comment
Occidental Otaku: Ex-Black Phantom Espers are the most Otaku like of the cast (the two boys are always going on about Moe and 2D, while the girl is a Yaoi Fangirl), but it is heavily hinted that Black Phantom gets its espers from outside Japan in most, if not all, cases. Also one of the Comerica agents is a massive fan of Japanese Culture, though Traditional culture more than Otaku culture. It is implied in the manga's Chapter 203 and Episode 46 of the anime that the otaku behavior of Bullet, Tim, and Patty is an odd sort of coping mechanism for their loss of memories after getting freed from Black Phantom's control. The supplement 4koma for Chapter 198 show that Yuuri (schoolgirl form) has inexplicably collected Chil Vermillion anime figures without Mirage's approval, and the supplement 4koma of Chapter 234 shows that Black Hanzo wearing a "Maruto" shirt - which prompts Mirage to ask "are all of our Espers into that kind of thing...!!?"

The prototype suit he had on also turns out to be incredibly expensive, and his assistant makes sure he pays for the damages.

Vitriolic Best Buds: Kaoru and Miu are shown to clash constantly, but also genuinely care for each other (which in Miu's case can be argued to go beyond "mere" friendship or camaraderie). Same goes for Kyosuke and Momotaro; Even though Momotaro calls Kyousuke a pedo all the time and Kyousuke calls the flying squirrel a rodent in return, they do see each other as true comrades (a major reason is them both having been used and abused as espers by Normals).

Gambit Pileup: Fujiko and Kyosuke both have their own plans for how to Screw Destiny. Minamoto has his own ideas and doesn't want either of them telling him what to do. We still don't know Black Phantom's true objectives (if they have any).

From the Mouths of Babes: In episode 25, after rescuing the pregnant woman and she delivers a healthy baby, Kaoru, Aoi, and Shiho all say they want to have Minamoto's baby. They say they don't know how babies are made, but surely he must, which gets him a bit flustered.

The Plan

The Plan: Colonel Grisham has one in episode 15, starting out with his defection. At first the Comerican esper team contacted BABEL for a joint operation to stop him from defecting and handing over valuable intelligence to a hostile country. However, try as they might, he delivers a Curb-Stomp Battle to them in their first encounter. However, all of that was part of his true plan, which was to get Kaoru and Mary to power up and drain the water away from a dam which flooded an area where the little girl who saved him during World War II grew up at.

Screw the Rules, I Have Supernatural Powers!
 Psychic Squad (Manga) / int_eaa8a7d8
comment
Screw the Rules, I Have Supernatural Powers!: A running theme. PANDRA believes that they don't have to obey the rules because they're powerful enough to blast their way through anyone trying to stop them (and in Kyosuke's case, he's pretty much right), and the threat of this (along with plain old bigotry) is the impetus behind the Normal People's terrorism. BABEL is caught in the middle, and it doesn't help that not all of their members are perfectly responsible with their powers either. Many one-off villains also have this as their motivation, such as the telekinetic bank robber.

Clingy Jealous Girl
 Psychic Squad (Manga) / int_eb5b71fe
comment
Clingy Jealous Girl: Kaoru doesn't like it when anyone tries to disrupt the team's dynamics, such as in episode 18 when Aoi and Shiho start hanging out with some boys. She also doesn't like it when Minamoto starts paying attention to anyone besides herself (though this is done in a cute way). She makes an exception for Sakaki, though. One incident after the Time Skip hints that her jealousy might be getting a bit more serious. All of the girls are pretty clingy to Minamoto, and occasionally they do get jealous at each other. In episode 10, both Aoi and Shiho seem a bit too obsessed with getting back to the sunken ship that Kaoru and Minamoto are stuck on due to having been left behind from lack of space on their submarine after rescuing all the stranded crew. They worry the two will get into some kind of naughty things, and that Kaoru is going to take the lead on them. In episode 9, after the girls spot Chisato and Tono, two of their classmates at school hanging out together, Kaoru jokingly accuses her of being a flirt. She denies it, stating that they were dragged along with their mothers and were simply waiting for them. Tono then asks who'd want to date her anyway, prompting Chisato to smack him in the head with her purse. During episode 17's training, Minamoto is assisting two new esper candidates against the girls, partly to measure their training, and partly because the girls were getting jealous he wasn't spending enough time with them. One of the candidates, Hatsune, feels he belongs to her, and steals him away. The other three girls don't agree with it, especially Kaoru, and she manages to make Hatsune back down.

Plot-Based Voice Cancellation: One occurs in episode 26, when Minamoto has a vision of seeing Kaoru in the future. He has a gun pointed at her, and she says something to him before he pulls the trigger and shoots her. It turns out to be a Love Confession, as seen in episode 39 when Kaoru enters his dream to help wake him up from a coma. Minamoto then comments that he's always heard what she said.

Distracted by the Sexy: Kaoru has trouble focusing goes completely gaga when around hordes of busty women, often screwing up her missions because of it. Happens to Minamoto in episode 9 after getting afflicted by a hypnotic spell from Hyobu. As a result, he sees the girls a few years older, and is understandably trying to avoid them to avoid temptation. Naturally after being told about this by Hyobu, the girls take full advantage of it, deliberately trying to tease him to see which one of them he likes as a woman.

This was when she was four.

Beware the Nice Ones: Shiho, who can be unexpectedly nasty when sufficiently provoked. As the manga progresses, this gets more extreme - In the beginning, Shiho would just tell someone's emberassing secrets. Recently ,her first proposal to deal with a bad guy hidden in a cloud who had pissed her off was using thermobaric bombardment, and her second was using a nuke Just don't anger Minamoto if you don't feel like being clobbered to death with an alligator. Or if you don't feel like having a bottle smashed against your head. Or if you don't feel like having your mansion demolished by a hijacked drill truck. Seriously, don't piss this guy off.
