Lucu Lucu: Difference between revisions

Line 15:

This show provides examples of:

* [[Accidental Pervert]]: Rarely happens, but it does, to Rokumon. (By rarely, I mean, there can be a good six chapters before you see another ecchi moment.) However, because of its rarity, when it does happen, it's really, really funny.)

* [[All Just a Dream]]: {{spoiler|ALL OF THE EVENTS PRESENTED IN THE SERIES.}} [[Or Was It a Dream]]

* [[All Just a Dream]]: {{spoiler|ALL OF THE EVENTS PRESENTED IN THE SERIES.}} [[Or Was It a Dream?]]

* [[~~Arch Angel~~ Michael]]: Jophiel and Lumiel's boss. Jophiel views Michael as a rival and wants to be stronger than him.

* [[Archangel Michael]]: Jophiel and Lumiel's boss. Jophiel views Michael as a rival and wants to be stronger than him.

** {{spoiler|Michael}} appears later at the very end series to finish what {{spoiler|Jophiel and Lumiel}} started.

* [[The Blind Leading the Blind]]: The setup for a lot of the jokes in [[Lucu Lucu]], especially the religion ones. Kinda appropriate, huh?

Line 32:

* [[Hair Wings]]: Lucu's preferred method of transportation.

* [[Louis Cypher]]: There is a reason Lucu's [[Boke and Tsukkomi Routine|weapon]] of choice is a morningstar. Not that she hides who she is.

** The rest of Lucu's troupe also have thinly veiled names of major demons. Bubu, [[Spell My Name With an S|spellable as simply ''Bub'']], is Beelzebub. [[Satan|Tan]] is a separate and much more pessimistic entity from Lucu (Lucifer) and plays his role as tempter and corrupter straight.

* [[Meganekko]]: Shiki Tohn--Harry Pott--I mean, Rokumon.

* [[Only Sane Man]]: Rokumon, but he only gets mildly [[Sarcasm Mode|sarcastic]] about it.

* [[Our Angels Are Different]]: Most of the angels seen in Lucu^2 are well-intentioned, but overly suspicious of the demons who are actually trying to make the world ''better''.

* [[Our Demons Are Different]]: Most of the demons seen in Lucu^2 are actually pretty nice. Lucu herself is a cute little girl, who seldom speaks and is trying to better the world. Also, even though Bubu can put on a scary face, he's actually pretty silly, but ironically more knowledgeable about the world than the tame Lucu.

* [[Peek a Bangs]]: Lucu practically looks like a cyclops most of the time.

* [[Peek-a-Bangs]]: Lucu practically looks like a cyclops most of the time.

* [[Perpetual Poverty]]: The living conditions of the characters for most of the manga reflects this rather realistically.

* [[Pint Sized Powerhouse]]: Lucu's hair is strong enough to lift a bag of rice and Rokumon and is capable enough force to fly her.

* [[Pint-Sized Powerhouse]]: Lucu's hair is strong enough to lift a bag of rice and Rokumon and is capable enough force to fly her.

* [[Running Gag]]: The way that Jophiel's human consciousness depressing helmet keeps upgrading as the series goes on.

* [[Satire]]: A lot of the jokes about religion in [[Lucu Lucu]] are heavy satire on things people actually do, for example, worshipping demonic idols, ridiculous excorcism methods, Church of Masochism, etc. etc.

* [[Serious Business]]: The wacky interactions between Ryokan/Jophiel and Itsukyuu are fueled by this trope.

* [[Well Intentioned Extremist]]: Jophiel... maybe. He has the extremist part down, seeing as he believes the best way for you to get to heaven, is ''killing you''.

* [[Well-Intentioned Extremist]]: Jophiel... maybe. He has the extremist part down, seeing as he believes the best way for you to get to heaven, is ''killing you''.

* [[Zettai Ryouiki]]: Grade B to A, depending on the angle and the how steady the mangaka's hand wants to be.

Line 55:

* [[Cult]]: Jophiel's host, Ryokan, the Demon Talisman Monk, is a practitioner of a radical sect of Buddhism. Also, in one chapter, Lumiel is broken from his failures and is drawn into an cult that equates spirituality with pain. However, the cult leaders were only trying to get his money. [[Irony|Lumiel is]] [[Incredibly Lame Pun|broke]].

* [[Caught With Your Pants Down]]: Lucu intenionally tries to make sure she catches Rokumon every time he tries to [[A Date With Rosie Palms|knock his rocks off]].

* [[Can't Get Away With Nuthin]]': You just can't, especially Lumiel, although, his arrest are more of the comedic sort. Sometimes subverted with Rokumon or the angels trying to find out what the demons are up to and they end up discovering something harmless. (But the angels will still [[Serious Business|make ''something'' out of it.]]

(But the angels will still [[Serious Business|make ''something'' out of it.]]

* [[Duel to The Death]]: Averted. Rokumon kicks Lucu and Jophiel out of the house before they can interrupt his breakfast and fight.

* [[God of Evil]]: Ryokan collects evil idol statues and worships them as ''Buddhas''.
