Line 12:

=== Tropes: ===
* [[Attack of the 50
* [[Bilingual Bonus]]: Arguably, Kimba is a corruption of Simba, the Swahili word for "Lion."
** Actually, Kimba was originally supposed to be named Simba, but the lead letter was changed due to its similarity with the name of a contemporary soft-drink product. At least, that's the story...
Line 43:
* [[Humans Are Bastards]]: [[Egomaniac Hunter|Hamegg's near insane]], [[Corrupt the Cutie|Being left on her own in darkest Africa causes Merry to fall apart into a dominatrix leading a bloodthirsty tribe,]] and Lamp? [[Complete Monster|Lamp is a bad man.]] There are several exceptions as seen with Kimba's human friends though, and ultimately {{spoiler|[[World Half Full|Kimba's sacrifice in the manga and movie is hinted to have bridged a very large gap between man and animal.]]}}
** [[Humans Are Flawed]]
* [[Imperial Stormtrooper Marksmanship Academy]]: Unless a named character is named [[Death
* [[King of Beasts]]
* [[Lighter and Softer]]: The original manga was filled with [[Tear Jerker|some heartbreaking scenes]], [[Diabolus Ex Machina|horrible events happening for no reason]], [[Downer Ending|and one of the most infamous endings to a shonen manga ever.]] As for the anime series? It still edges into some pretty sad territory, but things don't self-destruct this time around.
