''[[Kyou Kara Ore Wa!!]]'' was a [[Shonen]] gag manga that ran from 1988 to 1997. It revolves around two high school boys who decide to become delinquents after transferring to a new school. They meet for the first time on the day before school starts at a salon, where they decide to begin their image change with a new hairstyle, and so begins their journey to become the biggest delinquents Japan has ever seen!
{{tropelist}}
* [[Accidental Kidnapping]]: In Chapter 5, Mitsuhashi finds a little foreign girl on the street and takes her around, unaware that it could be interpreted as a kidnapping until Itou tells him. The situation is made even worse when it turns out that the police is looking for an ''actual'' blonde-haired kidnapper is on the loose. [[Hilarity Ensues]], especially in the end when it turns out that the little foreign girl {{spoiler|wasn't the girl who was kidnapped, but Mitsuhashi's cousin}}.
* [[Action Girl]]: Ryouko, Riko and Kyouko.
* [[Adventurer Archaeologist]]: Imai's idea of an archeologist - which is why he wants to be one.
Line 18:
* [[Badass]]: Most of the cast qualifies.
* [[Bad Liar]]: Mitsuhashi's father. One time, he lies to his wife and son about how he saved a young girl from a bunch of punks, when in reality, ''he'' was the one being harassed and was unbeknownst to him, saved by Mitsuhashi himself.

'''Mitsuhashi:'''(thinking) ''Uh...so pathetic...'' }}
* [[Band of Brothers]]: How the Beni High gang sees themselves when they prepared for the assault on Akehisa High.
* [[Barehanded Blade Block]]: Nakano can perform this on small swords and knives.
* [[Bash Brothers]]: Mitsuhashi and Itou are famous as the Nan High duo.
* [[Becoming the Mask]]: Mitsuhashi and Itou started out just pretending to be badass fighters and initially only got out of scraps using Mitsuhashi's dirty tricks but eventually both [[Took a Level
* [[Berserk Button]]:
** Don't make fun of Mitsuhashi.
*** Or steal ''anything'' from him.
Line 67:
* [[The Determinator]]: Itou and Imai.
** Sagara is a villainous example. No matter how many times Mitsuhashi beat the crap out of him, he still kept trying<ref> That is, until the end of last arc, when he promises never to show his face again after the Nan High Duo beat him yet again.</ref>.

* [[Disguised in Drag]]: In chapter three, Kyouko and her friends ask Mitsuhashi and Itou to dress up as girls and take care of the delinquents who harass girls at her school everyday.
* [[Distaff Counterpart]]: It would be a safe guess that Ryouko and Shouko were originally created to be this for the Nan High Duo - their [[Day in The Limelight]] chapter is even entitled ''Kyou Kara Atashi Ya!''<ref>which has the same meaning in English as "Kyou Kara Ore Wa", only in a feminine form of speech</ref> - but upon comparison of backstories<ref> The duo were regular boys who got their [[Important Haircut]] to become delinquents, while the girls were deliquents who got their hairstyles to become regular girls</ref>, the trope is clearly subverted.
Line 77:
* [[Embarrassing Nickname]]: A minor character is infamous as ''Fundoshi'' ([[wikipedia:Fundoshi|a type of Japanese underwear]]) Mask due the results of him trying to bully Mitsuhashi before the start of the series, resulting in Mitsuhashi giving him the nickname, ruining his life and getting the idea to try and pretend to be a badass. Of course, [[But for Me It Was Tuesday|Mitsuhashi completely forgot about him]].
* [[Enemy Mine]]: The Nan High Duo will occasionally receive help from their "enemies", Imai or Nakano.
* [[Everything's Worse
* [[Exact Words]]: Riko's dojo is challenged by another dojo and the loser must lower their sign (close the dojo). Riko's dojo lost the challenge and literally lowered their sign instead of closing the dojo.
* [[Five-Man Band]]: During the fight with Akehisa:
Line 101:
* [[Hot Mom]]: Itou's mom. Averted with Imai's and Mitsuhashi's mother.
* [[I Know Karate]]: Several times, delinquents would tell Mitsuhashi and/or Itou that they know karate, boxing, kendo, etc. They go down before they can show off their skills.
* [[Important Haircut]]: How the Nan High Duo got started. Mitsuhashi got a perm and dyed it blond. Itou gels his hair into [[Anime Hair
** In one chapter, Mitsuhashi shaves his father's head in order to create a new "Yakuza-like father" image for him so that Mitsuhashi can be proud of him. It works...until Mitsuhashi's mother starts henpecking him as usual, reverting him back to his regular, timid self.
* [[Incredibly Lame Pun]]: Itou's quite fond of them, in spite of getting regularly hit by Mitsuhashi for them.
Line 109:
* [[I Surrender, Suckers]]: Mitsuhashi and some villains.
* [[Jerkass]]: Mitsuhashi.
* [[Jerk
* [[Knife Nut]]: Yanagi
* [[Knight Templar Parent]]: Itou's mother. It's not visible at all times, but telling your 15 years-old son to actually kill a pig using a knife because he can't pretend to be a nice guy and let others do the dirty work when he benefits from it, does seem a little overboard.
Line 141:
* [[Running Gag]]: A few, the most durable being Mitsuhashi taking revenge on teachers by dropping coconuts on them and people wondering where it came from.
* [[Saying Sound Effects Out Loud]]: Nemoto's "gachoon".
* [[Serial Escalation]]: Just look at Mitsuhashi's tricks and schemes. Pops out early when Mitsuhashi defeats an entire school by getting all the thugs in a line and bashing the first causing a domino effect, and once in a while he tops his previous tricks/schemes. His scheme to deal with a visiting [[Villain
* [[Signature Move]]: Imai grab peoples' faces and then throwing them.
* [[Speak of the Devil]]: Mitsuhashi has the tendence to appear from nowhere when he's mentioned and the speaker ''don't want him to''. Also, Sagawa can literally summon Mitsuhashi and Itou by crying there're bullies for the latter and offering a toast to the former, causing Itou to turn the corner and Mitsuhashi to jump out from nowhere.
Line 154:
* [[Those Two Guys]]: Arguably Sagawa and Izawa (their names even rhyme).
* [[Too Dumb to Live]]: Imai, dear god Imai.
* [[Took a Level
* [[Tragic Dream]]: Imai tells everyone that he's going to go to college. Only later does he realize that it is impossible because he's too stupid.
* [[Training
* [[Trying to Catch Me Fighting Dirty]]: Mitsuhashi isn't above [[Groin Attack|crotch shots]] or taping the floor to make your shoes stick.
** Before facing the Judo champion Takasaki, Mitsuhashi glued himself at the wooden platform where the students changed their shoes to neutralize his throwing moves. Takasaki ended throwing both of them and the platform..
Line 166:
* [[What Does She See in Him?]]: Both an in-universe and out of universe example with Riko's attraction to Mitsuhashi. Even she's not so sure herself.
* [[What the Hell, Hero?]]: A common reaction to some of Mitsuhashi's schemes.
* [[Whip It Good]]: Imai once used a whip to counter Mitsuhashi because he thought he could whip faster than Mitsuhashi's attacks. Of course it worked, but it was [[Played for Laughs
** He tries using them again 32 chapters later.
* [[Wholesome Crossdresser]]: In one of the early chapters, Mitsuhashi and Itou disguise themselves as girls to help out Kyoko and her friends.
Line 177:
* [[Zerg Rush]]: Akehisa prefers this method to deal with enemies, and was in full effect during the assault on their school.
