Kenichi: The Mightiest Disciple: Difference between revisions

*** [http://www.mangafox.com/manga/history_s_strongest_disciple_kenichi/c127/11.html Freya] is probably the best example in the series. While she doesn't show much visible bicep, she has been seen doing bicep curls with pretty huge dumbells, and she's probably got the most ripped abdomen of any woman in the series so far.

* [[Annoying Younger Sibling]] - Honoka

* [[Anti-Villain]] - Most of the named adolescent antagonists have redeeming qualities or sympathetic motives, to the point where it's almost surprising when one of the teen villains gets written out of the story without a minor redemption at minimum.

** Among members of Yomi, Ethan Stanley is particularly notable. He's quite polite and deferential, he tries to talk Kenichi into retiring from martial arts so he doesn't have to kill him (whereas most of the rest of Yomi would be happy to), he cares deeply about his sister... If not for Yomi's insistence on defeating Ryozanpaku, he likely wouldn't have chosen to fight.

** Miu takes this up to 11 in episode 40. Turns out she's been kicking ass since she was six years old!

* [[Badass Boast]]: [[Mighty Glacier|Thor]] gives a good one when being attacked by [[Fragile Speedster|Rimi]]:

** "God Fist" Akira Hongo gives a very daring boast right before he confronts {{spoiler|"Demon Fist" Silcardo Junazard}}, later in the manga. (For context, the target of the boast was said to have fought [[Badass Grandpa|Hayato Furinji]] to a standstill in the past, with no clear winner at that time.)

{{quote|"I'll be the one to kill you."}}

*** As of chapter 423, she's acknowledged his feelings and returns them.

* [[Oh Crap]] - Kenichi when Honoka [http://www.mangafox.com/manga/history_s_strongest_disciple_kenichi/v22/c189/5.html asks the forbidden question.]

** Chapter 400: {{spoiler|Apachai just got a hole punched THROUGH HIS CHEST... and pulls off a punch in 406 though he is already dead?}}

** Chapter 463: Junazard gets [http://www.mangareader.net/historys-strongest-disciple-kenichi/463/16 this expression] {{spoiler|when Hongo breaks a piece off his mask with an attack Junazard assumed had missed}}.

* [[Save the Villain]] - Freya's [[Straw Feminist|all female]] [[Delinquents|mook squad]] goes looking for [[Action Girl|Kisara]]... and runs into [[Lady of War|Shigure]]. They then decide [[Too Dumb to Live|it would be a jolly good idea]] to [[Bullying a Dragon|attack her]]. Shigure calmly tells them that they are out of their league. Cue Kenichi begging Shigure not to kill the mooks. He begs her down to using a ''wooden cooking spoon'' (she'd been helping prepare supper) [[Crowning Moment of Awesome|with which she destroys all their weapons]] [http://www.mangafox.com/manga/history_s_strongest_disciple_kenichi/v12/c105/6.html in a single panel].

* [[Say It with Hearts]]: Miu loves to add hearts to the end of her sentences. Occasional Izumi Yūka does when she thinks that she in gaining ground with Kenichi.

* [[Scary Shiny Glasses]] / [[Glowing Eyes of Doom]] - An interesting play on both tropes that [[Ninja Pirate Zombie Robot|combines their characteristics]]. Many characters, especially the masters, will somehow project bright beams of light from their eyes when they are either REALLY serious about something, or are just being very creepy. Apachai is highly prone to it, for the former reason.

** It's explained as a sort of indicator of killing intent, or at least, intent to do something drastic, painful, and combat-related. Apachai, who never learned to hold back, is very prone to it because he still doesn't quite understand the idea of not attacking with such intent very well. Which leads to Kenichi's chronic fear of sparring with Apachai. [http://www.mangafox.com/manga/history_s_strongest_disciple_kenichi/v03/c023/3.html With] [http://www.mangafox.com/manga/history_s_strongest_disciple_kenichi/v03/c024/2.html good] [http://www.mangafox.com/manga/history_s_strongest_disciple_kenichi/v03/c024/15.html reason!]

*** Elongated canines

*** Scare the shit out of their "allies". Niijima because he's downright creepy, pops out of nowhere whenever he feels like it, and knows more about you than most people do by staring at you. and Himura because he's scary, trigger happy, and can somehow own a rocket launcher despite being a high school student.

* [[Slave to PR]] - Tanimoto. Only the Shinpaku Alliance knows that he's really a [[Bitch in Sheep's Clothing]].

* [[Smug Snake]]: Ragnarok's Loki, who considers himself a master strategist for such things as throwing lots of mooks at the protagonists and kidnapping Kenichi's little sister. Also Yomi's Radin Jihan, who spends most of his fight shrieking about how he deserves to win because he is the king of a small nation in Indonesia and sending his own minions at Kenichi.

* [[You Fail Biology Forever]] - Kouetsuji's "pink muscle."

** The Elder's "bi-vocal" ability. [[Lampshaded]] by Kisara immediately after it's explained.

** Sakaki's "organ lift" secret art.

* [[Your Head Asplode]]: At least in an imagine spot in an early chapter.
