Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Steffi Frohlich is a hyperactive teenage girl who spends her free time playing video games and competing in the Junior Robot Battle League. When she receives a brand new Mini-Mecha shaped like a kiwi for her 14th birthday, she has a brilliant idea: why not use it to fight crime, like a real-life superhero?This idea turns out to be very stupid.Using her newfound Kiwibot and a suit of Powered Armor, Steffi assumes the alter ego of Blitz, the mysterious vigilante superhero who protects a near-futuristic New York City from the forces of presumable evil. Joined by her childhood friend and voice of reason Benzene and a fugitive Robot Girl named 42, Blitz faces off with masked criminals, furry crime syndicates, an ill-equipped NYPD... and most importantly, her own boredom.Kiwi Blitz is a webcomic created by Mary Cagle, which has been ongoing since 2009. Main character Steffi actually predates the start of the comic, however, making her earliest appearance in an Original Character Tournament called Steel Nation the year prior; she would later go on to feature in Law Of Talos before finally starring in her own comic.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })The comic is currently on hiatus, having updated only once since August 2020, due to the author needing to balance taking care of her family and working on Sleepless Domain.The comic has also crossed over repeatedly with Sleepless Domain, as Mary is the lead writer of both. Alternate versions of Steffi, Ben, 42, and Chandra make a guest appearance as the magical girl group Team Blitz, and various other characters have appeared as minor Crossover Cameos on occasion.The current Tracks are, in order... | |

Artificial Limbs: They're all connected too, being from the same person, as revealed with the origin of Gear's. Steffi has a bionic leg. The strip doesn't make a big deal about it. The villainous Gear has both her left arm and left leg replaced by prosthetics. Her right arm also looks mechanical, but it's just a gauntlet. Reed gets a bionic arm to replace the one Gear cut off earlier. | |

Uncanny Valley | |
Kiwi Blitz (Webcomic) / int_6b5a92dc | comment |
Uncanny Valley: In-Universe. 42's a rather cute Robot Girl, but it's a little unnerving to see her open her mouth and have a grown man's voice come out. She's even more so when's she turned off. Both Steffi and the author (see the cast page) lampshade this. 42's mannerisms, constant smile no matter what the subject, and tendency to show up right behind people gives people the willies. Despite lacking combat capabilities and intentionally built to look like a cute Robot Girl, she manages to be vaguely creepy all the time without trying. Goes further into it during the confrontation with 35- she backflips on her head and keeps the same facial expression throughout. Used to her advantage here (spoilers). | |

Grey-and-Gray Morality: increasingly so, as Tigris calls out Cho for leaving Steffi and Benzene to fight Cebus while she concentrates on saving Reed and Herr Frolich, and 42 switches sides after being hacked. Steffi’s vigilante antics make little real difference in the overall scheme of things, and certainly make things worse for Raccoon, while Benzene takes to using guns to help Steffi. The Cops are pretty much ignoring the law and heavily so, to the point of stealing weapons from their armory. All to back up Steffi and Ben as they get back her father and Reed. | |

Cool Sword: The EMP katana, which can fry any electronic device it touches. It first appears in Track 11 in the possession of 35, and is claimed by 42 upon her defeat. Steffi later uses it to drive off Gear when she tries to murder her in her own home, and eventually lends it to Tigris for the raid on Alter HQ. | |

Disappointed by the Motive: Steffi is shocked to learn that Cebus, who at this point has betrayed two organizations, usurped one, killed, and even manipulated her young cousin into stealing for her, did all of that purely for money. All Cebus wants is the profit Alter's genetic engineering can provide. All Steffi can say in response is "That's it!? Money!?" | |

Translation Convention | |
Kiwi Blitz (Webcomic) / int_e11b003d | comment |
Translation Convention: Most of the German is left untranslated, but for extended passages it switches to English in angle brackets, just like in Megatokyo. The bulk of Japanese dialogue is translated in the same way, except for a few lines written in romaji. | |

Kiwi Blitz (Webcomic) / int_e31904d1 | comment |
Allergic to Routine: Steffi, Gear, and even Raccoon seem to be motivated by boredom to some extent. | |

Five Rounds Rapid | |
Kiwi Blitz (Webcomic) / int_e4d5e4c0 | comment |
Five Rounds Rapid: The police don't have the budget to deal with sufficiently high-tech threats, so they are rather helpless against criminals like Gear, whose cyborg augmentations render her immune to their taser pistols. | |

Exact Words: 42 just said there was going to be an attack on Alter's base and that Steffi and Ben were coming out of the sewers because Cebus mentioned them. She didn't say that Cho and Tigris were also coming along. | |

Groin Attack: Offscreen from Steffi to Ben during their combat training. She apologizes later, but he tells her that's a legitimate move to use against an enemy. | |

Unskilled, but Strong | |
Kiwi Blitz (Webcomic) / int_f25b1ae6 | comment |
Unskilled, but Strong: Gear isn't actually a good fighter; she relies on her mechanical assists and built-in weapons rather than skill. Ben, on the other hand - shorter, lighter, and completely un-augmented - throws her to the ground with minimal effort, to her shock, thanks to his martial-arts skills... and he isn't even an expert. | |

I Call It "Vera": Some military robots had a program called ARIS installed that gave soldiers feedback via a female voice, since it was believed it would keep them calm in battle. However, it worked a bit too well, and many pilots grew dangerously attached to their robots. | |
