Shinryaku! Ika Musume -The invader comes from the bottom of the sea!-, known in the English-speaking world as simply Squid Girl, is a manga by Masahiro Anbe that was serialized in Weekly Shonen Champion from 2007 to 2016. The manga was adapted into a 12-Episode Anime by Diomedea in Fall 2010. It was initially licensed and dubbed by Media Blasters, but the American license is now held by Sentai Filmworks.The Lemon Beach House, run by the Aizawa sisters, is booming with customers in the middle of the summer. This peace will be short-lived. A girl calling herself "Ika Musume" (Squid Girl) emerges from the sea, stating her goal of taking over the world as a revenge on humanity for polluting the oceans. This army of one has a long way to go, though. When she breaks a large hole in the beach house, the sisters force Ika to work for them until she can pay for the repairs. Thus begins a cute comedy about the friends at the Lemon Beach House and world domination... supposedly.A second season of the anime, titled Shinryaku!? Ika Musume, aired in Fall 2011.Ika Musume enjoyed some additional publicity in the summer of 2015, when fandom jokes and the mangaka's own love for the game led to a Squid Girl brand costume set being added to Nintendo's Splatoon.After the manga concluded, the author moved on to Gather! Mystery Research Club.Both seasons can be watched on Crunchyroll (subbed), and the first season is also available on Netflix (dubbed). | |

Card-Carrying Villain | |
| Squid Girl (Manga) / int_137f2d7 | comment |
Card-Carrying Villain: Ika Musume is not a fan of the "winning the people's hearts" method of world-conquering and considers being fearsome and terrifying to be job requirements. Nothing depresses her more than people thinking she's nice, and consequently she has a soft spot for Nagisa (who's scared to death of her). | |

Amazingly Embarrassing Parents: Goro's mother shows up in OVA 2.2, and causes a lot of headaches for him, such as telling him not to just watch girls on his lifeguard duty and teasing him about Chizuru. However, she later tells him that she's been secretly watching him do his duty and is proud of his work too. | |

Foul Medicine: In episode 5, Mini Squid Girl has a Balloon Belly from eating a lot of shrimp and this puts her in some pain, so Eiko attempts to hand her a pill. Mini Squid Girl refuses to open her mouth until Eiko tickles her ribs and makes her laugh. Subverted, however, as Mini Squid Girl doesn't appear to mind the taste once Eiko tosses it into her mouth. | |

Badass Adorable | |
| Squid Girl (Manga) / int_15da4941 | comment |
Badass Adorable: Ika-Musume, when she actually tries; her tentacles can move at supersonic speeds and are able to easily punch through concrete. To Chizuru, the trope comes as natural as breathing air. She's a kind and adorable young woman, but she has amazing Super-Strength and can cut Ika's tentacles in mid-flight with her bare hands, among other crazy feats. Which is suspicious enough to Cindy and her team that they try to get a lock of Chizuru's hair for analysis. Sanae is a downplayed example; she may not have any fighting abilities, but her speed and reflexes are much better than any teenage girl's should be. She's also an adorable Genki Girl with an unhealthy but cute obsession for Ika. | |

Comedic Work, Serious Scene | |
| Squid Girl (Manga) / int_1849f58e | comment |
Comedic Work, Serious Scene: While the show is mostly funny with Squid Girl's ineffectual attempts at world domination, there are some serious moments: The very first episode is comedic when Squid Girl arrives at the beach and tries to be threatening, but the second-to-last segment ends on a rather serious note. Takeru wears a squid hat so he can become Squid Girl's partner, but then a fan blows the hat off his head and Squid Girl believes this means the "squid" she met is dead, so she puts the hat out to rest in the ocean and mourns for it. Most of the segments in Episode 5 are comical, and the final segment is also silly and cute with Eiko and Mini Squid Girl bonding together. Then an elderly Eiko dies as Mini Squid Girl screams in anguish. Then it goes right back to being funny when Sanae reveals that the events were a dream she had and she's annoyed and jealous that Eiko was the one to spend time with Squid Girl instead of her. Episode 8 has a segment about Squid Girl's shenanigans with an umbrella, but then a car runs it over and destroys it. Devastated, Squid Girl clings to the umbrella and openly weeps over it. | |

Comic-Book Time | |
| Squid Girl (Manga) / int_1989b0c | comment |
Comic-Book Time: Per the manga finale, all 418 chapters take place during a single summer vacation, despite the fact that there are more chapters than days in a year and many chapters span multiple days. In the afterword to chapter 418, which came out 11 years after the manga started, Anbe says he wants to make three sequels chronicling Ika Musume's life in every season. Assuming they're the same length as Squid Girl, that adds up to a whopping 44 years to cover a single year of story. Averted in the anime, which only ran for 81 segments and had a one-year time skip in the season 1 finale. | |

No-Dialogue Episode: Episode five's third short is, except for a short dialogue between Sanae and Eiko, a single line of narration, and a few "geso"s, done entirely without dialogue. This makes the entire short ten times more effective than it would otherwise be. | |

Breaking the Fourth Wall: Cindy narrates the beginning of episode 10's second skit. She's talking to someone and is staring at the screen most of the time. Ayumi is really shy so she doesn't talk much, but then there's one panel where she fills it with text. In Chapter 52 of the manga, "Won't you Economize?", the gang decides to cut down on unnecessary resources to help the environment. This goes from TV to the AC to lighting to ink. No, not squid ink. "Ink," as in the ink that the manga is printed with. A blank panel shows up, followed by Eiko bringing back everything with this wonderful line: | |

The Friends Who Never Hang: As the manga reached 300-ish chapters and Anbe grasped for ideas, he started coming up with single chapters that mash together characters who've never really interacted with each other before. The Three Stooges and Mr. Tokita team up to build a better Ika bot. The Three Stooges recruit Sanae due to her ability to locate Ika at all times. The Three Stooges build a medical bot for Ruka. Goro's mom and Cindy bond over their love of alien investigation shows. | |

Adaptation Expansion | |
| Squid Girl (Manga) / int_23473ae7 | comment |
Adaptation Expansion: Typical manga chapters are only 8 pages long, so this tends to happen in the anime in addition to the Three Shorts format. In the manga version of "Won't You Study?", Ika gives Eiko her "simplified" calculation method immediately after Eiko begs for it and the chapter ends shortly after. The anime adds in a scene where Ika is running Eiko ragged in the restaurant and trying to show off her math skills. Special mention goes to the Sick Episode (Episode 8-1 and Chapter 103), which not only blended another Sick Episode, chapter 70, into the anime version, but turned the manga's ending into an entire episode, namely 8-2. In chapter 49, "Won't you lose weight?", it's discovered that Ika actually weighs quite a bit more than she appears. Eiko forms a few theories as to how, but the real reason (her bracelets) isn't revealed till much later in chapter 166. Episode 2-3 of the second season goes straight from one to the other. | |

Only Sane Man | |
| Squid Girl (Manga) / int_24321e44 | comment |
Only Sane Man: Nagisa considers herself to be this, seeing as she's the only one in the whole beach to consider Ika-chan as actually threatening. Understandable, as she's never seen Chizuru in action (she finally does at the end of episode 9, and her reaction is what you'd expect). Narratively, though, Eiko fills the role more obviously; she's incredulous about Ika's origins at first, she's often the one who has to rein the other characters in (Ika and Sanae in particular) and her only "quirk" is her hot-ish temper (and really, given how Ika acts, can you blame the poor girl?) | |

Companion Cube: Ika's Umbrella in Episode 8. She doesn't give it up, however, in the Couch Gag. To a lesser extent, Eiko's Famicom, which she refers to as her "old buddy" since she was a child. When it broke, she was so saddened she buried it in the garden as if it were a pet, complete with grave marker. | |

Balloon Belly: Ika-Musume gets this when she gorges on food (usually shrimp). Eiko gets this in the manga after gulping down the contents of a cart of drinks. Both of them, after gorging on meat in Episode 2.10.1. | |

Verbal Tic | |
| Squid Girl (Manga) / int_26d1f65f | comment |
Verbal Tic: Ika frequently ends sentences with "de geso" ("geso" meaning "squid tentacles" in culinary terms) and "janai ka". And in episode 12 she changes it to "dawa". In the dub, she loses her squiddy mannerisms, and "dawa" is changed to "You Know?" Lampshaded by Eiko later in the episode. | |

Parental Abandonment: Chizuru, Eiko and Takeru are siblings and live together, but their parents seem to be nonexistent. So far it has not been mentioned if they are away or dead, but Chizuru says in the fifth volume of the manga that nobody uses their bedroom anymore. They appear in a Happy Flashback Eiko has in Chapter 79 (Season 2, Episode 9.3 in the anime), which makes her cry. | |

When Eiko's old Famicom buddy breaks down, she eventually replaces it in chapter 316 with a Nintendo Wii (Or rather, Will), and uses the Virtual Console to buy a crap-ton of retro games and binge play them. Among those games, one can recognize Super Mario Kart (Whose Battle mode Eiko and Ika are seen playing at the end of the chapter), Kirby's Adventure, Super Mario World and Gradius. | |

Stranded Invader: The eponymous character came to the surface world to conquer it in revenge for humans polluting the ocean. However, due to a serious miscalculation in just how many humans there are, and what they're capable of, she hasn't got a chance at completing her invasion. Then she smashes the wall at the Lemon Beach Shack, and ends up having to work for the Aizawa sisters, Eiko and Chizuru, to pay off her debt. To make matters worse for Squid Girl, when she does try to take Eiko, and her little brother Takeru hostage, Chizuru demonstrates that she's a force to be reckoned with. | |

| Squid Girl (Manga) / int_2f30658a | comment |
Eyes Always Shut: Chizuru. Beware if she opens them. It's shown in chapter 76 that she has bad eyesight, so she's always squinting. She gets contact lenses, but gives them up when she realizes that having her eyes open all the time makes everyone else nervous. There's also one brief exception in season 1 when Chizuru gets an idea and her eyes open right before the scene cuts away. Though only the viewer sees this. | |

Milestone Celebration: invokedAverted for the one hundredth and two hundredth chapters, which are just normal Slice of Life, then subverted for chapter 300. Chizuru throws a big party at the Lemon without explanation, and all the attendees are too polite to ask what they're celebrating...until she brings out a big cake with "300" written on it, leading Squid Girl to boisterously surmise that it's Chizuru's 300th birthday. The chapter ends with Chizuru leading the unsuspecting Squid Girl away for a private party. | |

Meaningful Appearance: Ika has a white hat that resembles a squid's head, but it may be more than that. Episode 6 states that if it is detached from her head, she'll die because, for all intents and purposes, it's part of her skull. She tries to forcibly pull the hat off in Chapter 106 (Season 2, Episode 7.2 in the anime), which works about as well as a human trying to tear off his own scalp. Eventually she creates a small rip, the shock of which was enough to clear away her Easy Amnesia. | |

Does Not Know His Own Strength: In OVA 1.1, the three stooges create a handheld console that's unbreakable, and it lives up to its name, as they throw it against the wall in the Lemon house shop, only to have it leave a crater in the wall. Unfortunately, the buttons are also extremely hard to press as Eiko and Squid Girl discover while struggling to even play the Nintendo Hard games on there. After a while they give up, then go to play Eiko's regular console, only to have her smash the game cartridge, and Squid Girl breaks the controller, due to having gained a lot of strength from having played the handheld console from earlier. | |

What Could Have Been: Invoked in ep 5-3, which answers the question of what would happen if Ika and Eiko had initially gotten on better terms. The answer? It ends in a Tear Jerker as Ika will most certainly outlive any human. | |

I Just Want to Be Normal | |
| Squid Girl (Manga) / int_4852f325 | comment |
I Just Want to Be Normal: In OVA 1.2, Ayumi is seen talking to Chizuru and Squid Girl normally, while avoiding Eiko and some of the others. They wonder about it, and Ayumi tells them she can talk to non-humans okay but not regular ones like Eiko. This hits Chizuru rather hard as it implies she's not human. She then spends the rest of the arc trying to act normal, such as how to react to a banana peel on the floor, and whether to slip on it normally, or dodge it with her Super-Reflexes. In the end she allows herself to slip on it, but then overreacts by rolling halfway through the shop, breaking a wooden pillar, and smashing a hole into their wall. Eiko then comments that a normal person would probably have been killed if they did what Chizuru just did. | |

Paper-Thin Disguise | |

Paper-Thin Disguise: Literally. Takeru pretends to be Squid Boy with a disguise consisting of a paper hat and coloured strips of paper. Ika falls for it. Even when it's removed. Chizuru in episode 12 after Eiko crashes into her. She then switches places with her and dons a wig and the Noh Mask Rider Hannya mask — with her real hair hanging out quite obviously. | |

Leaning on the Fourth Wall | |
| Squid Girl (Manga) / int_4a3e547f | comment |
Leaning on the Fourth Wall: In chapter 75, Ika draws an amazingly realistic portrait of Takeru. Chizuru quips it looks like it's from another dimension. It has proper shading and volume, so she's quite right—it has a third dimension, unlike their flat manga faces. Later in the chapter, Takeru tries to draw Ika, but he complains that it turned out too much like a manga. The picture is just Ika, exactly as she appears to us. Ika then complains her face looks too simplistic. In chapter 95.5, the Aizawas discuss maturing and what they should give up as they get older. Eiko says she might graduate from Weekly Shonen Champion, since it's a manga magazine for boys. A concerned Chizuru says that the female demographic is also important. Weekly Shonen Champion is the magazine that publishes Squid Girl. In chapter 211, after the normally shy Ayumi unleashes a torrent of dialogue, Squid Girl quips she's trying to make up for lost time in a single panel. | |

I Never Said It Was Poison: Chapter 385. Nagisa Saito knows what the rude message scribbled on her sister's face says, despite never bring told. Squid Girl figures it out, but since she's doing all the detective cliches, she pretends to get murdered and writes the culprit's initials on the floor with her ink. Unfortunately, Keiko misreads them and takes Sanae Nagatsuki in for questioning instead. | |

Smug Snake: Ika is extremely overconfident and rude to pretty much everyone she meets, considering herself superior. While it bothers Eiko and Goro, nobody else seems to mind since she's so adorable. It's not uncommon for her to get knocked down a peg for her attitude or show genuine emotional connection to others while pretending to be smug. | |

Deadpan Door Shut: Squid Girl, fresh off eating a mountain of shrimp she'd bought with reward money, receives a package. She and Eiko open the box to find Sanae inside, on the verge of passing out due to lack of fresh air and wearing a giant shrimp costume. Eiko asks if Squid Girl is still hungry for shrimp; Squid Girl shakes her head slowly as they close up the box again. | |

Painting the Medium: In chapter 119, Ika becomes so obsessed with the "Find the mistakes" game that she tries finding some in people around her. According to her, Chizuru's mistake is that she's actually a boy in disguise, since there's no way a normal girl could have superhuman strength like that. Chizuru's immediate reaction isn't shown, but seeing as Ika's speech bubble conveniently hides Chizuru's face, and judging from Eiko's scared expression, it's definitely not pretty. | |

Most of the segments in Episode 5 are comical, and the final segment is also silly and cute with Eiko and Mini Squid Girl bonding together.

Then it goes right back to being funny when Sanae reveals that the events were a dream she had and she's annoyed and jealous that Eiko was the one to spend time with Squid Girl instead of her. | |

Genius Ditz | |
| Squid Girl (Manga) / int_58626d87 | comment |
Genius Ditz: Ika Musume is able to use a cellphone and camera without reading the manual or hearing an explanation on what they're for or how they work. She's able to perform high-level math as well without batting an eye, not to mention being able to pick up Japanese (and later English!) in minutes. She's also one hell of a drummer and baseball pitcher too. So far (much to her annoyance), invading is the only thing she really sucks at. One episode of the anime exemplifies this when she shows she is so skilled at math, that she can solve complicated math problems despite never having been visibly shown learning mathematics at any given point. We then see her common sense at work, as she fails to realize nobody cares except Eiko, and Eiko only cares because she wants to ace a test. | |

Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?: Ika is terrified of her greatest natural predators, orcas and sharks, even in inflatable toy form. Also the banana in inflatable toy form, since she's never actually seen a banana. She's also scared of Chizuru (but she has very good reasons to be). Goro's not afraid of near-drowning — as a lifeguard, he takes risks regularly — but he is absolutely terrified of ghosts. Although it takes a lot to get him to admit it in front of Chizuru. Mr. Tokita is scared of dogs, even if they're harmless puppies. When his daughter brought one such adorable puppy home, he kicked himself out so as to not deal with it. Eiko manages to convince him to try and get over it. | |

| Squid Girl (Manga) / int_5fcedca | comment |
Big Eater: Squid Girl. She appears to be capable of eating an endless amount of shrimp. As in, $100 worth in one sitting. Mini-Ika takes it up to eleven. Goro's mom, so much. Her home meals are enough to feed an entire family, and she can win a restaurant's regular eating challenge so casually that can basically eat there for free every time she visits. Chizuru is a downplayed example, in that while she eats a lot, she remains careful not to eat too much, and makes up for what she does eat with lots of exercising. Nonetheless, her bigger-than-usual appetite is the source of her Weight Woe. | |

Fertile Feet | |
| Squid Girl (Manga) / int_61c96b0a | comment |
Fertile Feet: Or, rather, fertile ink. Ika Musume's ink had accelerated the growth of her melon plant to such a degree that after a week, they covered the whole house of the Aizawa family! Only problem, the watermelons' insides were jet black, though Sanae claimed they were good regardless. | |

| Squid Girl (Manga) / int_62259825 | comment |
Nintendo Hard: In-universe example with the games on the handheld console the three stooges develop in OVA 1.1. In one example, Squid Girl picks up a pistol, only to find out it fires over the enemies, with no way to hit them as they're too small. In another example, Eiko jumps to dodge an enemy, only to have it jump towards her, killing her character. Later in the RPG game they play, they fight a flying slime, who shoots a giant beam of death and vaporizes Eiko. | |

Dramatic Shattering: A variation. In one chapter, Kiyomi decides to eat the entire tray of Sanae's awful cookies, so as to protect Sanae's feelings. It resulted in Kiyomi's glasses to spontaneously shatter from the foul taste and caused the poor girl to faint. | |

Eiko lampshades it by calling him a coward, though it's subverted when Chizuru comes in on her own anyway. | |

Serious Business: Season 1, Episode 12's volleyball competition gets particularly heated, culminating in Chizuru stepping in as Noh Mask Rider Hannya to literally meteor smash face. In general, badminton is the best way to get Kiyomi's competitive spirit to fire up. This is downplayed as Kiyomi remains sweet anyway, but she does take badminton seriously. | |

Beware the Silly Ones: The few times they're antagonistic, the Three Stooges are usually too bumbling to get anywhere. When they get serious, however, they can be surprisingly competent; chapter 269 has them come surprisingly close to kidnapping Ika, until Chizuru saved her and beat the crap out of them. | |

Season 2, Episode 5.2: One of the aliens imagined by the Three Stooges is actually "Paranoia", a boss from Space Harrier II. At this point it seems safe to assume that the makers of the anime are big old school Sega fans. As more confirmation of the above, Season 2, Episode 7.2 shows Ika playing Golden Axe. And in Episode 8.1 it's Bonanza Bros.! There's also a Bland-Name Product version of Street Fighter IV, as well as "Hedgehog Kart." | |

Jerkass Ball: In chapter 59, Chizuru decides to implement a Karma Meter for Squid Girl just for amusement's sake. But when Squid Girl is on the cusp of winning her prize (a lobster dinner) with good deeds, Chizuru decides it's not entertaining enough and punishes her harshly for minor infractions, leaving Squid Girl a nervous wreck who's afraid to do good deeds out of fear they'll be misinterpreted. Usually, in situations like these, Chizuru will take some responsibility for being The Gadfly and do something nice to make up for it. Here, she just callously asks Squid Girl if she wants to try again. Squid Girl, thinking her failure is her own fault and not Chizuru moving the goalposts on her, politely declines. | |

Combat Tentacles: Ika's... hair/tentacles/whatever are quite strong and versatile; they're able to punch through concrete, move fast enough to break the sound barrier and extend to ridiculous lengths, yet also precise enough to thread needles. Additionally, just like a normal squid, she's able to regrow them in the event that they're chopped off, albeit much faster. | |

Bait-and-Switch | |
| Squid Girl (Manga) / int_8797239c | comment |
Bait-and-Switch: A common occurrence. Among a few examples: When Ika meets Kiyomi, she asks her to pretend to be her friend for the time being, so that the truth about her failed doorbell ditching doesn't get out. Kiyomi refuses... preferring to become Ika's friend for real. When Eiko, Ika and Takeru start handling all the household chores, this leaves Chizuru with a lot more time for herself, but also very restless. Then Ika breaks a dish accidentally and gets super scared as Chizuru makes a mad dash towards her... then Chizuru starts happily cleaning the floor, feeling a lot better now that she had something to do. In the final chapter, Ika is free from work after having repaid the hole she busted at the start of the series, and starts her invasion proper by destroying the Lemon Beach House. But then it's revealed she wasn't aiming to invade like she claimed, but deliberately get another, much bigger debt as an excuse to stay. | |

| Squid Girl (Manga) / int_88ebc539 | comment |
Always a Bigger Fish: invoked in ep. 11 when Ika and the family hike up a mountain, encountering animals that keep getting scared off by bigger or more dangerous animals, culminating in a king cobra. Amazingly, it doesn't bite Ika - it curbstomps her. | |

Villain Protagonist | |
| Squid Girl (Manga) / int_898ff050 | comment |
Villain Protagonist: Though it's very easy to forget, considering just how cute Ika Musume is. Part of this comes from the fact that no matter how intense her goals are, or how dangerous she is in reality, she's very easy to make cry, easily manipulated by seafood as a prize, and comes up with plans such as intimidating the world because she has intense math skills. Furthermore, she's incredibly lazy about invading and prefers lounging around and playing videogames, a thing Eiko points out. That and the purpose of her "invasion". While not the smartest way to go about it, her motivation for doing so is valid. | |

Reed Richards Is Useless: In their pursuit of extraterrestrial life, the MIT scientists have cured cancer and created a universal translator. Unfortunately, in their single-minded pursuit of the bizarre, they don't give a crap about either of these discoveries. | |

Didn't Think This Through | |
| Squid Girl (Manga) / int_8d0785d5 | comment |
Didn't Think This Through: Eiko asks Squid Girl this in the first episode when the latter stated her intention of invading and taking over the world. She asks the latter how she plans on conquering the entire planet as well as how to deal with all of humanity's armed forces, overwhelming her a bit. Squid Girl downsizes her plans a little and decides to just take over the lemon shop first, although she fails at that as well. She settles for just living on the surface...for now... At the volleyball tournament, the scientists show off their newest gadget: an incredibly hard ball, designed to be completely impossible to receive. Which means it's also impossible to serve. Ika manages to "conquer" the local high school by tying up the principal. She then commands the students to be her soldiers so she can conquer the world! Unfortunately, the only thing she has planned after she conquers the world is...eating as much shrimp as she likes. Which she already does anyway. | |

At the end of the chapter, when Ayumi's father goes to pick his daughter up, she's trained so much that she reflexively throws him on his ass without realizing it. In chapter 383, Chizuru puts Sanae through Training from Hell to improve the latter's cooking. Unfortunately for Sanae, she reflexively breaks the table with a punch just as she was about to serve Ika a plate of her cooking. | |

Message in a Bottle: Used in OVA 2.3. Squid Girl and Takeru send out these messages, but hers keeps returning for some reason. Eventually Cindy and her three stooges help out by building a rocket, but the rockets either hilariously fail, or in one case, works a little too well and sends the message into space. In the end, Eiko asks her why she doesn't just use her tentacles, and Squid Girl does that. At the end, a giant shrimp is drawn on the beach by an alien, who received the message that was sent into space. | |

Tickle Torture | |
| Squid Girl (Manga) / int_982037d0 | comment |
Tickle Torture: All of chapter 81 (Season 2, episode 4.2 in the anime). Ika is eager to take it to extreme levels, but forgets that conquering humanity with tickling doesn't work if you're more ticklish than everyone else. She doesn't realize this until she attacks Chizuru, of all people — only to be told "You missed my weak spot." She already used it on Eiko in episode 7, as well as Cindy and the MIT trio in episode 11 of the first season of the anime, so this has become an Adaptation-Induced Plot Hole. | |

Status Quo Is God: If Chizuru has anything to say about it, Ika will NEVER work off her debt, and thus NEVER begin her invasion of Earth. Chizuru will see to it that Ika spends the rest of her natural life helping out at the Lemon beach house... This also extends to most of the characters themselves, such as Sanae tearfully letting her obsession with Ika go, only to revert right back to it before the end of the episode. And later Ayumi learns to be more confident thanks to a pair of brass knuckles Chizuru let her use (causing men to be really fearful of her), only to have her dad immediately shoot her confidence right back down towards the end of the episode. | |

To Chizuru, the trope comes as natural as breathing air. She's a kind and adorable young woman, but she has amazing Super-Strength and can cut Ika's tentacles in mid-flight with her bare hands, among other crazy feats. Which is suspicious enough to Cindy and her team that they try to get a lock of Chizuru's hair for analysis. | |

Adaptational Jerkass: "Won't You Go to Elementary School?" not only adapts the manga chapter of the same name, it also includes a later, unrelated chapter "Won't You Kick?" where Squid Girl plays soccer with Takeru's friends. In order to weld the stories, Yuta and Takeru's other friends become jerks to force a conflict. Oddly, they still keep the manga's conclusion where Yuta and co. are worried about bruising Squid Girl's ego, even though it doesn't track with their adaptional personality change. | |

Idiosyncratic Episode Naming | |
| Squid Girl (Manga) / int_ac4ac8e5 | comment |
Idiosyncratic Episode Naming: All the episode/chapter titles are in the form of questions, ending with, in Japanese, "-nai ka", which signifies a question in the informal mode, with the "i ka" in katakana for emphasis. This makes for a pun with "ika", which by itself means squid. Pun-Based Title: Since that doesn't work in English, the translation makes most of the chapter titles' puns on "Squid," "Ink," or "Fish," such as "Feeling Inkquisitive?" and "How about a squiddle walk?!" | |

I Choose to Stay: In the finale, Ika chooses to stay on the surface, but exclaims it in a strange way by destroying the Lemon Beach House to gain a much bigger dept than before. However, it turned out to be for naught, since Chizuru pointed out summer is over, and the beach house will be closing anyway. | |

Loophole Abuse | |
| Squid Girl (Manga) / int_b1dde8fd | comment |
Loophole Abuse: In one episode, Ika plays soccer with some of Takeru's schoolmates. However, she doesn't know how to play, and when she's told she can't use her hands, she resorts to using her tentacles instead, which to the kids still looked like she held the ball in her "hands". In one chapter, Ika and the Invasion Club try to win at a prize-shooting game during a summer festival. After the other girls fail, Ika gets one by using her tentacles as hands and shooting the prize point blank. The owner tries to protest, but is forced to relent after Ika points out he rigged the game (By sticking the prizes to the stall via tape and making the gun weaker). Chapter 225 has an initially unintended example: when Isozaki and Eiko play a fighting game at the arcade together, the former challenges the latter to introduce him to a girl if he wins. When he does win, Eiko comes to the date herself, since everyone else she asked refused. The "date" turns into Eiko and Isozaki playing more games at the arcade. | |

They take another one in chapter 100 with the party consisting of Eiko, Ika, Nagisa, and Cindy, this time in a tunnel instead of a graveyard. Unfortunately, there are a whole lot of problems with this venture (Eiko insisted on taking only one flashlight which runs out of batteries, Ika Musume's light is too bright, etc.) so they call it off. Only problem is, Cindy's missing. Cue Cindy surrounded by ghosts. Cue Color Failure for everyone else. This time, Ika was just as scared as everyone else, to the point her lingering fears from that incident were the focus of another chapter. | |

Baffled by Own Biology: The eponymous character is mystified by the concept of "ticklishness", which Eiko then helpfully demonstrates by telling Squid Girl to lift her arms, and then proceeding to tickle her. Squid Girl is perplexed as to why she was laughing when she didn't find it at all funny. She's also perplexed at the inability to cause the sensation in herself when she tries to do what Eiko did. | |

Robot Dog: The focus of chapter 257, where the Aizawas get a robot called Marcie dog from the Three Stooges. Because she's a robot, she can transform and can't eat, but she's so lifelike that she's an otherwise completely ordinary dog. The chapter ends on a bittersweet note as Marcie "dies" when Takeru couldn't help feeding her food, since she seemed to really want some, but Ika caused her to transform, bringing her somewhat back to life (Eiko notes the dog they knew and loved is definitely dead). | |

The next chapter, Nagisa sees Ayumi casually chatting to Squid Girl and assumes that she has been cowed into submission by the invader. | |

Anime Accent Absence | |
| Squid Girl (Manga) / int_c4a5ca4 | comment |
Anime Accent Absence: Despite their own fluency, the three scientist colleagues avert this trope — the voice actors try to give their characters stereotypical "American" accents. Lampshaded and inverted in Vol. 7, where Ika Musume questions Cindy's English abilities. Cindy tries to defend herself, but is horrified to realize that her English has developed a Japanese accent. Also slightly justified, as the inventors off-handedly explain that they've created a device that taught them all languages, (as well as invent the cure for cancer.) They openly admit that they only care about the romantic ideal of alien prevention. | |

There Is Another: Mysteriously in the manga chapter "Can I Bother You?". In the anime, it's episode 12. In both cases, the "other" is Tanabe Kozue. Like Ika, she has an unusual hat, but hers is round and orange. And the first syllables of her name are "tako", meaning octopus. She finds it amusing that Ika didn't bother to come up with a less obvious name than "Ika Musume"/"Squid Girl". She appears again in the Season 2 finale. | |

Insane Troll Logic: In episode 10.2 of Season 1, Sanae attempts to get rid of her obsession with Ika. Although it's hard, she seems to manage to do it, and starts to act somewhat normal around Ika. Near the end of the episode however, after Ika greets her normally, Sanae reasons that Ika greeting her must mean she really wants her instead. Which then causes her to then attempt to do The Glomp on Ika, and causing the latter to resume hostilities towards her. | |

Shout-Out | |
| Squid Girl (Manga) / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: In episode 5.1 when Ika is proving to Eiko that she's an alien Ika's glowing finger touches the tip of Takeru's finger. When the scientists accidentally turn the store invisible, they bring about the wrath of Chizuru. They try to protect against her attack by shielding themselves. Harris erects an AT Field, Clark brings out Link's Hylian Shield, and Martin throws up a tortoise shell. Naturally, none of them work. Perhaps her martial prowess is a shoutout in itself? Cutting flies and tentacles BAREHANDED? Sounds suspiciously like she is a Genyu Ken practitioner. In episode 11.1, Eiko brings a doll out of storage because it's picking up in value as a collector's item. It was part of a pair of doll toys known as Johnny & Depp. At the very beginning of episode 11.2, Nabiki and Kasumi Tendou are sitting at a table in Lemon House. In the background of Takeru's elementary school classroom, you can see Aho, Sethi, and Ullman's seminal computer science book "Compilers: Principles, Techniques, and Tools" (first edition). The other books on the shelf are apparently also computer science books. The season 2 OVA has Eiko and Ika playing a game clearly based off the original Super Mario Bros., with them as the main characters. Eiko's game is even called "Super Eiko". And the game system itself is pretty much a Game Boy Micro. And in the beginning, the mad scientist trio is playing a DS game similar to Mario Kart. In the opening sequence there is a reference to 8-bit console RPGs, perhaps specifically the second or third Dragon Quest games. A sprite that resembles Ika disembarks from a boat, enters a cave, and opens three treasure chests (there's shrimp inside, of course). A console that looks a lot like an off-colour Sega Mega Drive/Genesis can also be seen near the end of the opening sequence. Episode 12 had "I'll be back", "I shall return" and "Yes we can!", all of them said by the MIT guys. In Chapter 46 of the manga, Ika Musume in her quest to become more "adult" starts watching late-night anime with Rena on the screen. In Episode 4.2 Eiko is teaching Ika to play Sega's Columns. In the original manga version (Chapter 27) it's one of the Gradius games. Chizuru intervening with the Nohmen Rider stageshow as a second Nohmen Rider mirrors the originally unplanned introduction of the second Kamen Rider. Season 2, Episode 4.2: Ika and Eiko are seen playing Virtua Fighter on the off-colour Sega Mega Drive/Genesis mentioned above, complete with 32X-lookalike adapter. Season 2, Episode 5.2: One of the aliens imagined by the Three Stooges is actually "Paranoia", a boss from Space Harrier II. At this point it seems safe to assume that the makers of the anime are big old school Sega fans. As more confirmation of the above, Season 2, Episode 7.2 shows Ika playing Golden Axe. And in Episode 8.1 it's Bonanza Bros.! There's also a Bland-Name Product version of Street Fighter IV, as well as "Hedgehog Kart." In one episode, Ika Musume copies Lelouch's pose when using the geass. Here, have a look. When Eiko's old Famicom buddy breaks down, she eventually replaces it in chapter 316 with a Nintendo Wii (Or rather, Will), and uses the Virtual Console to buy a crap-ton of retro games and binge play them. Among those games, one can recognize Super Mario Kart (Whose Battle mode Eiko and Ika are seen playing at the end of the chapter), Kirby's Adventure, Super Mario World and Gradius. In chapter 379, as she's leading Ika around, Keiko keeps saying map directions in her head, but is distracted by two kids reciting part of the Konami Code. In chapter 392, when Ika marks her territory around the Beach House (Accidentally recreating part of Nagisa's nightmare in the process), she does so with squid ink, a la Splatoon. This is no coincidence, as the corresponding manga volume's notes reveal that this scene was intentionally made in tune with the collaboration the manga had with Splatoon. In chapter 172, Eiko is distracted from her homework by Ika playing Street Fighter II. And when she goes to Sanae's house, she gets distracted by Sanae's new Xwox 360, and ends up playing Katamari Damacy. In chapter 206, the Three Stooges are too busy playing Super Bomberman to care about Ika visiting their lab. In chapter 333, the beach house has a collab with Noh Men Rider. Chizuru is dressed as the Rider, Eiko is dressed as a villainess, and Squid Girl is dressed as herself since she already looks like a minion. When Chizuru confronts Eiko, Eiko elects to shove Squid Girl out to fight Chizuru while proclaiming, "I choose you, Tentacruel!" In chapter 358, Keiko has a Seibu Keisatsu poster on her wall. She and Squid Girl watch the DVDs until the next morning. After getting a load of the explosive stunts, Squid Girl resolves not to make Keiko (and the rest of the police) her enemy. | |

Nightmare Face: Chizuru, most of the time when she opens her eyes. However, she looks normal, even cute, when she opens them without malicious intent; the best example being when she wore contacts as shown in chapter 76. Ika Musume's Teru Teru Bouzu come out to this. | |

The first was when the three idiots express surprise that they accidentally broke a DS, causing them to create an even tougher portable gaming system. The second was when Cindy tries to break a Family Computer in frustration, only to stub her toe in the process without damaging the console. | |

Schmuck Bait: In episode 6.1 of season 2, Eiko tells Ika that the giant Buddha statue can come to life and punch bad people. Ika also sees openings in the back of the statue, which Eiko says is where a bunch of little Buddhas come out of to assist the big one. Because she doesn't know any better, Ika believes the story and is really scared to go inside, although Eiko eventually reveals she was just kidding about everything she said. | |

Smurfing: The Crunchyroll subs use this with "squid" (and give her exclamations like Squidzooks, holy tentacles, and many others) to try and convey the rather punny nature of the titles and Ika's speech. The English dub takes this to an extreme propensity for ocean life puns. Words like "Squidy", "Krakken", "Tentacular", "Kelp", "Gilly", "Ink", "Clam", "Beak", "Jet", and numerous other words will find their way into Squid Girl's regular vocabulary. Even when you can tell the context is meant as a swear. For example, Squid Girl never says "Invasion". It's always "Inkvasion". | |

Universal Group Reaction: When Squid Girl learns about tickling, she has a field day tickling everyone in sight. Then she suggests trying to tickle Chizuru Aizawa. Eiko tries to warn her that tickling Chizuru, who hates being tickled, would be an all-out declaration of war. Squid Girl asks if they wouldn't all enjoy seeing Chizuru laughing "squid-sterically", to which Eiko, Sanea, and Cindy all think in unison "Yes. More than anything." It doesn't go as planned, as Squid Girl can't find Chizuru's ticklish spot, but DOES acknowledge the declaration of war. | |

Flanderization: While Ika is usually portrayed as intelligent, but easily distracted (because of her curiosity about life on the surface world), season 2 seems to have started making her more Sgt. Frog-like. For instance, in episode 9-2, Ika is blatantly portrayed as completely missing the point of using a bag and planner. | |

A-Cup Angst | |
| Squid Girl (Manga) / int_e621b159 | comment |
A-Cup Angst: When Ika Musume had 3D glasses on and wanted "to feel something that's supposed to be there, but isn't" on her friend Kiyomi. She wasn't too happy about the words, but acknowledged that she only started "growing up" in that area. This led to Kiyomi wishing that her breasts were bigger in one episode Nagisa displays some of this when she starts crossdressing and Chizuru suggests they wrap her chest "just in case". | |

This also extends to most of the characters themselves, such as Sanae tearfully letting her obsession with Ika go, only to revert right back to it before the end of the episode. And later Ayumi learns to be more confident thanks to a pair of brass knuckles Chizuru let her use (causing men to be really fearful of her), only to have her dad immediately shoot her confidence right back down towards the end of the episode. | |

Feminine Leg Swish: Season 2, Episode 4-B, "You Th-INK You Can Stop It!?", Squid girl is lying on the floor of Eiko's room, reading, and kicking her feet back and forth in a scissoring motion, showcasing her childish tendencies. However, she is also waving her tentacles around absently, which causes her to inadvertently tickle Eiko's bare feet, which is how Squid Girl learns about tickling. | |

The English dub takes this to an extreme propensity for ocean life puns. Words like "Squidy", "Krakken", "Tentacular", "Kelp", "Gilly", "Ink", "Clam", "Beak", "Jet", and numerous other words will find their way into Squid Girl's regular vocabulary. Even when you can tell the context is meant as a swear. For example, Squid Girl never says "Invasion". It's always "Inkvasion". | |

Real After All: Goro spends most of chapter 232 freaking out over a ghost story Eiko told him, involving a girl who disappeared while looking for her red sandal. After Eiko tells him the story was made up, he finally starts to calm down, but then we see a suspicious lone red sandal drifting ashore. In one chapter, the gang freaks out over a supposed ghost picture, which turns out to just be Takeru's hand as he waved to try and be in the picture. But the end shows that there's also a suspicious, disembodied grinning face in there too... | |

Ridiculously Cute Critter: Mini Ika Musume in 5.3 and 10.2; both are products of Sanae's imagination. She appears again in Season 2, Episodes 4.3 (as a product of the imagination of Ika herself) and 6.3 (as a dream of Goro, who doesn't understand why). A quick story in the manga has Ika and Mini-Ika meeting for the first time. Thanks again, Sanae. | |
