''[[Four King Hell]]'' is a ''[[Sailor Moon]]'' webcomic written by [http://chatroomfreak.deviantart.com/ Frizzy], focused mainly on [[Token Guy|Mamoru]] [[Mysterious Protector|Chiba]] and his reincarnated [[Four -Temperament Ensemble|guardians]], the Four Heavenly Kings.
 
So, what do you do when you've suddenly been corporeally reanimated after a couple of years as [[Body to Jewel|rocks]]? Why, search out booty! Jadeite's challenge--whoever beds his chosen senshi first gets to be "[[A Day in Thethe Limelight|main character]]" for a day--sends the newly humanized Kings and Mamoru into a frenzied contest to win the accolades of their peers and the dignity bestowed on the protagonist of an otherwise fairly [[ImprobablyFundamentally Female Cast]].
 
However, things are not as simple as they appear at first glance. While the boys either try to woo their girls (hampered by battery-inducing pick-up lines and violent lesbian fanclubs) or vehemently deny any attraction at all, it seems that every previous enemy and best-friend-of-the-day is returning to Tokyo for mysterious reasons.
Line 10:
Who will win this contest of mojo? Why are all the important people of the past converging at one place and time? Will Mamoru get his deposit back after his posse finishes with his apartment?
 
''[[Four King Hell]]'' can be found [https://web.archive.org/web/20140712090056/http://fourkinghell.smackjeeves.com/comics/ here] or at the author's [[Deviant ART]].
 
=== {{tropelist|Besides many of the tropes found in [[Sailor Moon]], ''Four King Hell'' also provides examples of: ===}}
* [[All Love Is Unrequited]]: Played for comedy (amongst the Guardian Senshi and the Shittenou, Demande/Usagi) and for drama {{spoiler|Petz/Saphir, Endymion/Pluto, Endymion/Beryl.}}
* [[Belligerent Sexual Tension]]: Ami and Zoisite want nothing to do with each other. [[Sarcasm Mode|Really]].
* [[Bi the Way]]: Kunzite and Zoisite's anime-only relationship is intact (though over) in FKH.
* [[Butt Monkey]]: Nephrite is on the receiving end of mountains of physical pain. And not ''all'' of it is his own fault.
* [[Camp Gay]]: Zoisite is really, ''really'' flaming. Possibly as a reaction to his "feisty" interaction with Ami, as he has been acting even fruitier since their meeting.
* [[Casanova Wannabe]]: Nephrite thinks he's a hit with the ladies. The key word here is "thinks."
* [[Cerebus Syndrome]]: The first few strips were gag-heavy, and the fourth wall was pretty shaky. Now, though the main plot continues and humor is always present, complex drama has appeared as more characters visit and more mysteries pop up.
* [[Comfort Food]]: Chocolate is Mamoru's...and when sent into a panic, he will wolf down copious amounts of it.
* [[Crisis Crossover]]: Characters from the anime, manga, and even the spin-off media are fair game for appearing in this comic. {{spoiler|Such as Nergal from the [[Sailor Moon: Another Story]] RPG, who is part of Master Nineteen's concert attack.}}
* [[Estrogen Brigade Bait]]: As the webcomic stars five (and counting) handsome men of varying types, this is a must-read for anyone who loves [[Sailor Moon]] but always wanted more beefcake.
* [[Fourth Wall Mail Slot]]: Jadeite has a [http://fourkinghell.livejournal.com/ livejournal] which is routinely hijacked by the other guys as well as several mysterious fanboys.
Line 28:
* [[Heroic BSOD]]: Played for comedy. Kunzite pointing out that Mamoru's attempt to convince Usagi to sleep with him could ''jeopardize the entire future'' sends Mamoru into such a state of panic that they later find him in the kitchen in a corner wolfing down chocolate in terror. Fortunately, a strong punch snaps him out of it.
* [[She Cleans Up Nicely|He Cleans Up Nicely]] Urawa Ryo has significantly ''improved'' since the canon series.
* [[I Always Wanted to Say That]]: Master Nineteen has fun with the franchise's "taking all of your energy" before simply putting the crowd to sleep.
* [[Interrupted Intimacy]]: Usagi walks into her home just as her parents are in the middle of an orgy with Ali and En. Her mother hastily tries to cover for them and the naive Usagi is oblivious.
* [[I Want My Beloved to Be Happy]]: {{spoiler|Saphir and Petz's tearful reunion is short-lived when Petz reveals that she is in another relationship now, on account of Saphir having ''died'' and all. Saphir lets her go gracefully for this exact reason.}}
* [[Lethal Chef]]: Zoisite proves to be this, as even when he is in super-femme housewife mode, he STILL can't cook.
* [[Limited Wardrobe]]: Mamoru's habit from the anime of wearing the same outfit is mocked when Kunzite flashes back to looking into his closet for clothes and finding an entire closet of green jackets, black turtlenecks, and grey slacks.
* [[Loads and Loads of Characters|Loads And Loads Of Characters]]: Poor Mamoru is currently housing ''ten'' other guys, and that's just the people mooching off of him.
* [[Mythology Gag]]: Mamoru's chocolate habit was a reference to his character sheet from the anime, which listed his favorite food as chocolate despite Mamoru never being shown even possessing chocolate, let alone eating it.
** Demand's job interview has the company's boss call him "Mr. Diamond", a reference to both what his name actually means, and his altered name from the English dub.
Line 43:
* [[Punny Name]]: Ali and En's children are named Yuu and Fo.
* [[Reincarnation]]: Most of the characters seen so far are either reincarnated in the [[Sailor Moon]] canon or have been for the webcomic itself, not least of which are the titular Kings.
* [[Shout -Out]]: Rei is seen reading an issue of [https://web.archive.org/web/20160508171716/http://fourkinghell.smackjeeves.com/comics/1169529/pg-126-perfect-for-what/ RanRan], which is a play on RunRun, the now-defunct magazine in which ''[[Codename: Sailor V]]'' ran.
* [[Spell My Name Withwith an "S"]]: Prince Demand's name is rendered as "Dimande" in this comic. Saphir was initially spelled "Saffir", but later strips switched to the canonical "Saphir." Aside from these two, the comic actually gets even the more commonly misspelled names correct.
* [[The Stoic]]: Kunzite isn't always calm, but he certainly has shades of this.
* [[Younger Than They Look]]: When Ali and En visit Mamoru, En mentions that at the time they first met, she and Ali were actually only four years old and their race ages rapidly.
* [[Wham! Line]]:
