![]() Between My Legs: Gets used in the first episode of Decode when Birdy confronts Geega in the abandoned building.Much later on, she sheds these when forced to kill Nechla, which is followed by a Heroic BSoD. Berserker Tears: Birdy's crying these when she's trashing the robot that killed Violin.It also bears mentioning that in the remake manga, she goes berserk when pushed enough. The Berserker: To the point that it could be mistaken that it's how she earned the "Berserker Killer Birdy.".though, it bears mentioning, the machine she killed in revenge for Violin's death was known as a Berserker, which is how she earned it.This is also in effect for the original manga, but not the reboot. Averted in the last two parts as she's not in a situation where she's nude. Subverted in the second part near in the end when the only view of her front is from the shoulders up. Barbie Doll Anatomy: Birdy in the first part of the OVA, somewhat justified in one case by Out-of-Clothes Experience.Bathing Beauty: While on Earth, Birdy develops a fondness for baths, especially since the ones in her world focus more on function rather than comfort.Badass in Distress: Spends almost all of the ninth volume of Evolution as a captive of Revi and her affiliates.Auto Doc: Birdy can be seen using tanks with such features to help her heal from battles (which means, pretty often).Attack of the 50-Foot Whatever: During her mindless destruction of Agni's facility, Birdy turns into a Kaiju-like monstrosity.Amazonian Beauty: Although it isn't always made readily apparent, Birdy is incredibly toned and muscular.Evolution tops it off by giving her a Navel-Deep Neckline in her newest uniform. Adaptational Skimpiness: Birdy's uniforms in the remake manga and Decode tend to cover less than the uniforms in the original manga and OVA.In Decode, she is romantically involved with Nataru. Adaptational Sexuality: In the manga, Birdy is a Celibate Hero and rejects Kred's romantic feelings, as romance would interfere with her duties as a police officer.The OVA version of the scene does see her don her uniform right after Tsutomu requests this. Adaptational Modesty: In the original manga, Birdy ignores Tsutomu's request to " Please Put Some Clothes On" and confronts Bachilus in her birthday suit.In the other continuities, this particular outburst never happened, nor did Birdy ever angst over Violin's identity. Adaptational Jerkass: In Decode, during the Central Tower Attacks, she FLIPS when she sees Violin's broken visage, in complete disbelief and denial she is a Marionette.Notably, Birdy believing she killed Hikawa is something that deeply haunts her conscience even throughout Evolution, whereas she directly killed him in the OVA and never angsted over it (and likewise in the OVA and Decode, she put down Bacillus herself without fretting about it). One of the reasons she constantly looks down on and antagonizes Gomez, regardless of his reasoning, is because he had an arm in killing Geega and Bacillus. In the remake manga, the very idea of murder is unacceptable to her, and she will always try to arrest her targets. Adaptational Angst Upgrade: In the OVA and Decode, Birdy has few qualms of killing if it's necessary in the line of duty.Adaptation Dye-Job: While Birdy retains white and pink hair throughout her incarnations, how it's colored varies: the original manga and OVA both have it with the right side being white and the left side pink the remake manga makes it where her bangs are pink, but the rest is white and Decode makes it where her bangs and the bottom of her mane are pink, but the rest is white.Conversely, her OVA and Decode counterparts don't have a problem with putting down their enemies if they're a still-active threat themselves, as Birdy herself is the one to put Bacillus down during her second encounter with him in both series, and she does also kill Hikawa in the OVA without angsting about it. In both the original manga and remake manga, Birdy is shown to be quite horrified at Gomez killing Bacillus and at the idea she played a role in Hikawa's death in the latter. ![]()
