It's funny how tropes absorb things that weren't originally tropes, isn't it?
Actually, it's funny that I make the "tragic dead Mom" joke in an episode with an atypically LOW amount of on-screen deaths for a Dirty Pair adventure. I gue...

Of course, the funny part is how, statistically speaking, that dress still covered more of Kei than her usual wrestler outfit.
