Astro Fighter Sunred: Difference between revisions

Line 66:

** About that "berserker" thing: it turns out his vicious reputation is actually due to confusion with a different monster called Jango.

* [[Friendly Enemy]] -- Vamp and Sunred are on very good terms with each other.

* [[Go Karting With Bowser]]

* [[Go-Karting With Bowser]]

* [[Good Is Not Nice]] -- Despite being a hero, Sunred is a bit of a jerk. The other heroes seen to have the same problem (one group from Hokkaido decided to wipe out their entire villain group on a drunken bender).

* [[Harmless Villain]] -- The entirety of Florsheim, with Vamp as the crowning example. Considering that Vamp has said they're lucky to have such an honest archenemy like Sunred, the odds of him actually being truly mean are very, very low.

** This is subverted half way through the first season when Sunred convinces the new villain Devil Eye that in order to become his new archenemy he has to kill his first archenemy: Vamp of Florsheim. When Kayoko learns of this, she is quick to think that Vamp and the rest of Florsheim are in danger until {{spoiler|Sunred reveals that Florsheim isn't weak; he's just much too strong for them. Cue to Armor Tiger thoroughly kicking Devil Eye and his minions' asses [[What Do You Mean It's Not Heinous?|while Vamp berates them about their manners]].}}

* [[Hero Antagonist]] -- Sunred. For a certain level of 'hero'.

* [[Hey It's That Voice]]: The only big names in the series are Kurumi Mamiya ([[Hamtaro (Anime)|Hamtaro]]) as Usacots, Hidekatsu Shibata ([[Fullmetal Alchemist|Führer King Bradley]]) as General Hengel, and Louis Yamada LIII and Higuchi-kun (a French-themed [[Boke and Tsukkomi Routine|manzai duo]] called Hige Danshaku<ref>Baron Beard</ref>) as General Vamp and Mook #1. Yamada is now the bungling professor in ''[[Tensou Sentai Goseiger]]''.

* [[Hey, It's That Voice!]]: The only big names in the series are Kurumi Mamiya ([[Hamtaro (Anime)|Hamtaro]]) as Usacots, Hidekatsu Shibata ([[Fullmetal Alchemist|Führer King Bradley]]) as General Hengel, and Louis Yamada LIII and Higuchi-kun (a French-themed [[Boke and Tsukkomi Routine|manzai duo]] called Hige Danshaku<ref>Baron Beard</ref>) as General Vamp and Mook #1. Yamada is now the bungling professor in ''[[Tensou Sentai Goseiger]]''.

* [[Hook Hand]]: General Hengel has a variation, his left hand being a huge pair of scissors. The difficulty in performing a lot of everyday tasks is highlighted a couple times.

* [[How Did That Get in There]]? -- P-chan, when trying to show a video of Hellwolf's powers, ends up showing a "[[Porn Stash|Birds Gone Wild]]" video instead. Usa calls him out on this, and he quickly changes it.

* [[The Idiot From Osaka]] -- Weather Yellow. Supposedly. He, like his comrades, is not above dirty fighting.

* [[I'll Kill You!]]

Line 111:

* [[Real Place Background]] -- While the art style the show uses isn't normally associated with this trope, everything in the opening, and almost everything in the show itself, is a real location in the Mizonokuchi area where the show takes place. The ED of episode 34, in fact, is "lip synched" by various real life people from the Takatsu, Kawasaki, Ward Office and other Kawasaki locations.

* [[Real Song Theme Tune]] -- Twice, for a [[Special Edition Title]], a real song has been used. The first season had a polyphonic ringtone version of the incredibly popular (at the time) song [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Nn6nWIhENM "Shuchishin"], by the [[Mr. Fanservice|idol group of the same name]], when Vamp had it as his ringtone. The second season used the Kawasaki city anthem [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6f7tqUm8q7s "Suki desu, Kawasaki, Ai no Machi"] in an episode where the song was annoying one of Florsheim's monsters.

* [[Red Oni Blue Oni]] -- Florsheim has an actual Blue Oni on payroll. As suitable for his colour he has a calm and community-minded temperament, and volunteers to let [~~http://en.~~wikipedia~~.org/wiki/Oni_%28folklore%~~29#~~Traditional_culture~~ people throw soybeans at him during Setsubun].

* [[Ridiculously Cute Critter]] -- All of the Animal Soldiers

* [[Sanity Ball]] -- Sunred and Kayoko compete about it. Sunred is the straight man in sketches involving himself and Florsheim, while Kayoko is the straight man in sketches involving herself and Sunred (whether or not Vamp and Florsheim are involved).

Line 118:

** Furthermore there's Gaima's ambition, a running gag of short segments on how Gaima plans to get a dog. {{spoiler|At the end of the first season he realizes his apartment doesn't permit pets and gets a battery driven toy dog instead.}}

* [[Sentai]] -- Largely a parody of this type of genre. Sunred himself was part of a Sentai team at one point, the Weather Three.

* [[Shout Out]] -- Tama from ''[[Bamboo Blade]]'' appears riding past, and Antkiller does Red Braver's finishing move, Atomic Fire Blade, in episode 24. In episode 23, Sunred is seen walking by a ''Spider-Man'' poster.

* [[Shrinking Violet]] -- Florsheim turtle monster Games/Durtle, who is always trying to avoid social contact

* [[Sitcom Arch Nemesis]] -- Sunred and Florsheim.
