Black Blood Brothers: Difference between revisions

And theirs is not the only plot in play.

 

 

* [[All There in the Manual]]: Most of the back stories of some of the characters is explained in the novel. Though since they're Japan exculsive, [[No Export for You|outside the country you are out of luck.]]

* [[Ambiguously Gay]]: Rinsuke Akai

* [[Authority Equals Asskicking]]: Almost all higher-ups in the Order Coffin Company (which manages the Special Zone) are heroes of the Hong Kong Cusade.

* [[Badass Longcoat]]: Jiro wears a red one.

* [[Berserk Button]]: Kotaro, and later Mimiko, for Jiro.

* [[Better Than Sex]]: Sex apparently pales in comparison to the sensation of [[Kiss of the Vampire|getting bit by a vampire]].

* [[FUNimation]]: Did the English dub.

* [[Gambit Pileup]]: Okay, more like five. Hey, there are only twelve episodes.

* [[Goggles Do Nothing]]: Although Jiro occasionally uses his as sunglasses, Kotaro's do nothing but hang around his neck.

* [[Guns Are Worthless]]: Guns are pretty much useless against the sword-wielding Jiro. Not so much against other characters, though.

* [[Katanas Are Just Better]]: Partially justified, as the show ''is'' set in Japan, but that still doesn't explain why Jiro used one in the Hong Kong Crusade, much less what appears to be [[Victorian London]]. Only three swords show up in the series, and two are katana.

** Watch the flashback sequences at the beginning of each episode again. In one it shows Jiro introducing himself to Alice as Sub-Lieutenant Jiro Mochizuki of the Imperial '''''Japanese''''' Navy. Now, I don't know, but, being trained almost from birth to use a weapon is a pretty good reason to be using it a century later, in Hong Kong and The Special Zone. Oh and it's not a Katana, by the lenght and curvature is seems to be more of a [[wikipedia:Tachi|Tachi]]

** The Kowloon are also dangerous to normal vampires, as being bitten brings them under their control, as we're unfortunately shown in the third episode.

* [[Out of the Inferno]]: Zelman Clock, a pyrokinetic.

* [[Plucky Girl]]: Thy name is Mimiko.

* [[Rapunzel Hair]]: Cassa has this.

* [[Red Baron]]: In spades. Almost every combatant has a nickname: Silver Blade, Red-Eyed Butcher, Blue Wolf, Pile-Killer, Man-Walker.

** They're also almost all survivors of the Hong Kong Crusade, so their nicknames may have started out as code names.

** Cassa is called the Black Snake.

* [[Red Oni, Blue Oni]]: Caine and Jiro, Caine is normally rather irritable and loud, but he's calm and cold under pressure. Jiro is snarky and relaxed, but freaks the hell out when his brother is in danger.

** Which means they switch roles when under stress. Does that make them each both parts?

* [[Ring Ring CRUNCH]]: Jiro cuts Mimiko's alarm clock in half because he can't figure out how to turn it off. As Kotaro says, he's "not good with modern technology."

* [[Single-Stroke Battle]]: {{spoiler|Jiro vs. Auguste, take two.}}

* [[The Masquerade]]: See below.

* [[The Unmasqued World]]: The Kowloon Shock and ensuing Hong Kong Crusade broke [[The Masquerade]], but the government convinced the populace that the vampires were all exterminated in the Crusade.
