Line 24:
* [[Art Evolution]] -- The manga's art style is rather sketchy in the original chapters but becomes ''much'' more professional as the series progresses. The students are also rather twiggy in the first few chapters but gradually round out into the [[Puni Plush]] designs seen in the anime, which probably decided (for the best) to go with the later art.
** Interestingly, one aspect of it is actually noticed in-universe: In the manga, Mitsuba originally has [http://www.mangafox.com/manga/mitsudomoe/v01/c001/6.html much longer bangs] until chapter 9, when her bangs [http://www.mangafox.com/manga/mitsudomoe/v01/c009/5.html get cut evenly]. Mitsuba then permanently switches to this hairstyle in subsequent chapters, with her original style never being seen again (contrast with Futaba, who copies the hairstyle for the rest of the chapter, but immediately goes back to normal in later chapters). In the anime, Mitsuba always has her even-bangs haircut, even in stories where she had longer bangs in the manga.
* [[Aw, Look -- They Really Do Love Each Other]] -- Happens between the sisters. Occasionally.
* [[Baker's Dozen]] -- Episode 14 is DVD-only, as mentioned above.
* [[Batman Gambit]] -- Hitoha and Yuudai's plan to win the relay race.
Line 43:
* [[Book and Switch]] -- Hitoha does this so she can get away with reading porn magazines in class.
* [[Bratty Half-Pint]] -- Ryuuta, Miku's little brother
* [[Break the Cutie]] -- Yabe suffers from this after episode two of Zouryouchuu. After having the worst Christmas ever by getting rejected by Kuriyama, sitting alone in his apartment while wearing a Santa outfit with a mannequin with glasses wearing a female Santa outfit in front of him, when his beloved mannequin fall face first onto his Christmas cake and then catch on fire, becoming Santa for Futaba when Soujirou is running late, getting the crap beat out of him by Soujirou after a misunderstanding and finally walking home in the freezing snow in nothing but a Santa hat and his boxers, his personality changes in the next episodes and becomes easily irritated, resigned and unsurprised of the weird attitude of his classmates.
* [[Breaking the Fourth Wall]] -- In the "Yabecchi's Room" segment of episode 12, when questioned on her [[Charles Atlas Superpower]] and her dogi, Futaba's responses are "I don't know" and "ask the author".
** It happened earlier than that. In episode 2, after Futaba gave her a bloody lump on her head during a game of [[Rock-Paper-Scissors]], Mitsuba cried out with "How many times are you going to try to kill me in this anime?!"
Line 53:
* [[Catgirl]] -- After not finding the stray cat they wanted to bring home, Mitsuba gets the bright idea of having ''Futaba'' be a substitute cat. She gets really into the role...
* [[Characterization Marches On]] -- During the panty incident at the swimming pool, in the manga, Futaba hates her dad as much as her sisters, which doesn't fit with her being the only one who really loves him shown later on. The anime actually brings this scene in line with Futaba's later characterization, making her the only one not to be punished.
* [[Charles Atlas Superpower]] -- The only way to explain Futaba's powers is that she's almost super-human.
* [[Chew Toy]] -- Yabe and Mitsuba, because the world hates them.
* [[Chick Magnet]] -- Shinya Satou, so much that perhaps half of the school was chasing him in order to get a date by being the first to show him their [[Panty Shot|panties]] -- even the [[Shotacon|old janitor]] wanted to date him too.
Line 65:
* [[Cloudcuckoolander]] -- Futaba
* [[Color Failure]] -- Happens quite often, with hilarious results. A good example is episode 13: after Hitoha discovers that the cat she and Futaba were caring for had supposedly left them (and after their father said that they could keep it and they bought cat food and toys for it too, no less), she loses all color and repeatedly fills the cat's food dish with kibble, empties the kibble back into the bag, and repeats it.
* [[Cool Big Sis]] - As revealed in her character song Choujo Dashi, ne! Mitsuba tries to be this to Futaba and Hitoha, but her tsundereness doesn't help much.
* [[Creepy Child]] -- Hitoha, albeit unintentionally.
* [[Cute Bruiser]] -- Futaba, only in elementary school, can shatter various pieces of furniture (doors, desks, chairs, podiums, ''you name it!'') with her bare hands and feet.
Line 98:
* [[Forehead of Doom]] -- That one female student whose forehead shines.
* [[Free-Range Children]] -- The Marui siblings seem to be this. They appear to go to the mall unsupervised in episode 5.
* [[Friend to All Children]] - Yabe states in his character song Sensei wa Kodomo? Kodomo wa Sensei? that he doesn't care about his students disrespecting him because he still gets along with them all.
* [[From the Mouths of Babes|From The Mouths Of Sixth Graders]]
* [[Funny Background Event]] -- In the first OP, Yuudai gets [[Nosebleed|nosebleeds]] when Hitoha accidentally shows him her book during the dance routine.
Line 109:
* [[Goofy Print Underwear]] -- A running gag is that Mitsuba tends to wear animal-print panties, despite being the oldest of the triplets.
** [[What Do You Mean It's Not Awesome?|She has a collection of Zodiac animals, too!]]
* [[Gratuitous English]] -- Episode 3:
{{quote|'''Hitoha''': [[Big OMG|OH MY GAHD.]]}}
** At the end of Season 2's OP, the girls spell out the title as M-I-T-S-U-D-O-M-O-E instead of mi-tsu-do-mo-e.
Line 150:
** Hitoha could, for instance...
*** Use her [[Nightmare Face]] and threaten Yabe with implied student mistreatment in Mitsudomoe's variant of musical chairs.
*** Utterly beat Futaba flat in a squabble for Nipples with pornography magazines.
*** Trick Yabe into saying certain words that she can use against him to have what she wants, like forcing him to take care of Nipples.
** Oh, and while you're at it: [[Jerk with a Heart of Gold|Mitsuba]] and [[Alpha Bitch|Miku]].
* [[Minor Injury Overreaction]] -- Aiko tends to mummify people with simple injuries such as a nosebleed.
* [[Missing Mom]] -- Nothing is ever said of where the triplets' mother is.
* [[
** [[Mistaken for Cheating]] -- Nipples learning to backflip thanks to Futaba, coupled with some vague language, makes Yabe think there's a sexy love triangle going on.
** [[Mistaken for Gay]] -- Shinya and Yuudai on more than one occasion.
Line 179:
** Or Futaba when she catches a cold.
** You know what? ''Everyone'' gets a chance at it.
* [[Nightmare Fetishist]] -- Sakiko
* [[No Dialogue Episode]] -- The next-to-last segment of episode nine has no dialogue aside from some [[Angrish]] by Mitsuba.
* [[No Guy Wants to Be Chased]] -- Shinya has three fangirls after him, and he doesn't want that. [[Stalker with a Crush|Given their behavior, though,]] [[Yandere (disambiguation)|you can see why...]]
** Soujirou Marui claims that he used to have the same problem back in his [[Chick Magnet|hunk]] days.
* [[No-Holds-Barred Beatdown]] -- Soujirou gives Yabe one of these after mistaking him for being a pedo.
** And again in Season 2 when he ends up in the Marui residence [[It Makes Sense in Context|wearing only his boxers]].
* [[No Name Given]] -- Miyashita is the only major student in the class who's never given anything beyond a last name. A handful of background characters get the same treatment (like Amikawa, that girl with the really shiny forehead).
* [[Non
** Also Yuki's dad is drawn in the same fashion.
** Also there's that kid whose face looks like a dog and his mother.
Line 210:
* [[Pet the Dog]] -- Hitoha is manipulative, scary and cruel to almost everybody. But she does care for Nipples (and later, the cat), so there's ''some'' compassion in her.
** Despite she is cruel and manipulative to Yabe, deep down, Hitoha cares for him.
*** Unfortunately, everytime she shows compassion to him, he thinks the wrong idea from her.
** She is also surprisingly mild toward Sakiko, who she seems to have taken a bit of a liking to.
*** She actually hates her ({{spoiler|Especially when Sakiko spoils her Gachiranger moment in ep 7 and burns her Gachi Red photograph in Zouryouchuu ep 2.}}) but does not show it out of courtesy.
Line 219:
* [[Precision F-Strike]] -- Hitoha towards Mitsuba, sometimes calling her a **** pig.
* [[Psycho Strings]] -- Whenever Mr. [[Papa Wolf]], Soujirou Marui, is about to go medieval.
* [[Puni Plush]] -- Which is much more evident in the anime adaptation.
* [[Running Gag]] -- Tons of them.
** Three girls are shown to have an obvious crush on Shinya.
** The class hamster's name (Nipples)
** Futaba's breast obsession.
Line 241:
** The scene in episode 13 where Soujiro breaks a hole through the girls' bedroom door and peeps through it might be a reference to ''[[The Shining]]''.
* [[Show Within a Show]] -- ''[[Sentai|Honki Sentai Gachiranger]]''.
** And the short "Yabecchi's Room" sequences.
* [[She's Got Legs]] -- Mitsuba.
* [[Shrinking Violet]] -- Sometimes the reason for Hitoha's [[Nightmare Face]].
* [[Slapstick Knows No Gender]]
* [[Something Completely Different]] -- Episode 1 of ''Zouryouchuu!'' is an episode of ''Gachiranger'', only occasionally cutting back to the Marui triplets.
** [[Call Back]] -- In the ending, Miyashita is dressed up in the uniform and [[Transformation Trinket]] belt like the others as Gachi Green. As Hitoha is quick to point out, "there is no Gachi Green".
Line 261:
** Episode 1-9 with Futaba ice-sliding to Blue Danube.
* [[Stalker with a Crush]] -- Shinya's fangirls
** Taken [[Up to Eleven]] since they know his scent, handwriting, and [[Squick|urine]].
* [[Standard Snippet]] -- Rather than "Yume-iro no Koi", episode nine ends with Futaba whirling across the frozen pool to the Blue Danube Waltz.
** And episode 7 of Zouryouchuu ends with replays of the curling game to the farandole from Bizet's ''L'Arlesienne''.
Line 292:
** The human curling game.
* [[Yamato Nadeshiko]] -- Hitoha, though she's a bit of an aversion.
* [[Yandere (disambiguation)]] -- Shinya's fangirls
** Miku's mom seems to border on this at the thought of being abused.
* [[Yank the Dog's Chain]] -- Mitsuba finally gets some genuine fans when she twists the definition of "nympho" to suit her own ends, but has to distance herself when she learns that might have consequences.
