Line 2: [[File:jubeichan.jpg\|frame\|[[Magical Girl]] [[Ninja\|Ninjas]] with the tropes of ''both'' genres.]] {{quote\| ''"300 years...try imagining how long that is, Jiyu. Every person lives through a short life. People live doing what they believe is right, so they won't have any regrets. But, sometimes a person loses themself into the flow of time. It's not easy to realize this by yourself. There are people here who haven't realized it, and have been wandering, lost for the past 300 years. Jiyu... you have the ability to save those people. You have that power. You alone have that power."'' }} {{quote\|''"Jiyu once saved us from our dark path...but who is going to save her now?"''~~\|'''[[The Atoner\|Mikage Tsumura]]'''}}~~ \|'''[[The Atoner\|Mikage Tsumura]]'''}} [['''''Jubei-chan]]''''' is a series of contrasts, done expertly by the director of ''[[Kodomo no Omocha]]''. While some series chafe from [[Mood Whiplash\|the whiplash of constantly switching between serious and silly]], ''[[Jubei-chan]]'' does it very well. The fight scenes are amazing. 300 years ago, [[Yagyu Jubei]] was the greatest swordsman Japan had ever seen. His feats were legendary. But eventually he started getting old, and he didn't have an heir. Despite his style of swordsmanship being the standard, nobody quite did it correctly. He didn't want his technique to be lost, so [[Beethoven Was an Alien Spy\|he somehow bound it up into an eyepatch shaped like a heart]]. He sent his most trusted servant to find the one who would be able to access the eyepatch -- he would know them by their "plump bouncy bon bons." The servant, Odago Koinosuke, left on the geas that he would find the next Jubei if it took the rest of his life, [[Undying Loyalty\|and beyond.]] Line 66 ⟶ 67: * [[Mood Whiplash]] * [[My Greatest Failure]]: {{spoiler\|Sai stayed at work -- as his boss demanded -- while Jiyu's mother was dying, and only made it back when it was too late.}} * [[Ninja]]: Note, despite the English [[Market-Based Title\|Market Based Subtitle]] of "Ninja Girl", Jubei isn't; she's a "Swordswoman". The only character who is referred to as a "Ninja" would be Mikage<ref>And that guy with the [[Mickey Mouse]] hair and his minions from the first season, but who cares about them</ref>. * [[Obfuscating Stupidity]]: Freesia Yagyuu only ''acts'' like a cheerful hick. * [[The Ojou]]: Subverted. She and her [[Girl Posse]] are the [[Yuppie Couple]] of this series. Line 83 ⟶ 84: * [[Talking Animal]]: A whole forest of them with who Freesia lives after thawing out and before leaving on her quest. * [[Take That]]: In addition to "[[Tenchi Muyo!\|Tenchi Muyonosuke]]" mentioned earlier, Sai briefly has an [[Imagine Spot]] of a gratuitous ''[[Love Hina]]'' knockoff [[Harem Comedy]] during a bout of writers' block in the second season. (He swiftly rejects the idea.) * [[Twelve-Episode Anime\|Thirteen Episode Anime]]: Both the ''Secret of the Lovely Eyepatch (season 1) and the ''Counter Attackk of the Siberia Yagyu'' (season 2) had thirteen episodes. * [[Training ~~From~~from Hell]]: Parodied in the first series. Koinosuke decides that Jiyu needs to learn how to function with one eye when she's in Jubei-chan mode, and so locks her in a one-eyed helmet that looks horrifyingly like a pink urinal. [[Hilarity Ensues]]. * [[Traitor Shot]]: About a third of Freesia's scenes when she's near Jiyu or Sai. * [[Transformation Sequence]] Line 93 ⟶ 95: {{reflist}} [[Category:~~Bandai Entertainment~~{{PAGENAME}}]] [[Category:Anime of the 1990s]]▼ [[Category:Anime]] ▲[[Category:Anime of the 1990s]] [[Category:Bandai Entertainment]] [[Category:Geneon]] [[Category:~~Jubei~~Madhouse ~~Chan~~(company)]] [[Category:~~Jubei-chan~~TV Tokyo]] [[Category:Animax]] [[Category:Toku]] [[Category:Shonen Demographic]] [[Category:Thirteen-Episode Anime]] [[Category:Media Blasters]]
