Line 10:
An OVA of Princess Resurrection has been [http://kc.kodansha.co.jp/kaibutsu/ announced.] It seems this time there will be blood.
 
Now with a [[Princess Resurrection (Manga)/Characters|Character Page]]. Contributions welcome.
 
{{tropelist}}
 
* [[Action Girl]]: Hime and Riza Wildman. Reiri and Nakua too, when they actually bother.
* [[A Date Withwith Rosie Palms]]: Reiri gives Hiro the folder of pictures her stalker took, and tells him to "use it". These pictures include her in a bra and panties.
** Though it should be noted that Hiro is, understandably, utterly confused by Reiri's request.
* [[Afterlife Express]]: Chapter 39, "Princess Express".
Line 21:
* [[Anachronic Order]]: The manga generally moves forward in a linear fashion, but between major arcs the chapters jump around in non-linear fashion (and some minor but long arcs are interleaved with one another and random [[Monster of the Week]] chapters). This gets more pronounced the later in the series you go.
* [[Art Evolution]]: The character designs get a little looser as the manga goes along.
* [[Ascend to Aa Higher Plane of Existence]]: {{spoiler|In chapter 58, it's revealed that shortly before his death, Emil seemed to have done some form of this, [[Pet the Dog|to put a stop to the Royal fights.]] He's still not an adult though.}}
* [[Authority Equals Asskicking]]: How werewolf society works.
* [[Badass Family]]: Riza, her brother and her father. Also from what we see in the 2nd and 3rd OVA, Hime came upon her fighting skills honest. Her brothers (excluding Severin) and sisters all kick ass.
Line 44:
* [[Bodyguard Crush]]: Hiro shows signs of this towards Hime, although it could just be the blood warrior part of him getting clingy.
** When he was dying in the opening pages and he sees Hime for the first time he thinks on how beautiful she is. So there is at least a physical attraction before the whole Blood Warrior thing.
* [[Brain In Aa Jar]]: The Professor. It's a very big brain, too, with what appears to be extensive cybernetic enhancements.
* [[Butt Monkey]]: Hiro early chapters in manga and episodes in anime is this.
* [[Cain and Abel]]: The royal siblings are awfully competitive.
Line 73:
* [[The Empath]]: Partially averted in that Sawawa regularly gets a sense of foreboding when her brother is in danger, then promptly ignores it and eats some more ice cream.
* [[Even the Girls Want Her]]: Reiri.
* [[Everything's Better Withwith Princesses]]: Most noticeably Hime, but also Sherwood and Sylvia.
* [[Eviler Than Thou]]: Vampires and Nobles who think nothing of feasting on humans are ''[[Even Evil Has Standards|horrified]]'' that anyone would think of unleashing the [[Zombie Apocalypse]].
** Justified; after all, if their food source is gone, what are they suppose to eat?
Line 110:
* [[Hellish Pupils]]: Hime, and all the other Royals. Blood Warriors, and notably Hiro, also get them when entering a combat trance (triggered by their master/mistress being in mortal danger).
* [[High-Pressure Blood]]
* [[Hoist Byby His Own Petard]]: Duke Kiniski. {{spoiler|He imprisoned Hime's sister Sylvia and drank her blood for his own pleasure, but ended up as a Blood Warrior as a result. When Sylvia manages to free herself from captivity, he's left without a blood source and ends up as a shriveled corpse.}}
* [[Horse of a Different Color]]: Our heroes ride ''undead pandas''.
* [[How We Got Here]]
Line 143:
* [[Mistress and Servant Boy]]: Hime and Hiro.
* [[Monster Mash]]: Practically every known monster in the book and then some. One chapter even dealt with [[Invasion of the Body Snatchers|''pod people''.]])
** Not to mention the [[HPH.P. Lovecraft|member of the Great Race of Yith]] who briefly turns up.
* [[Monster Lord]]: The entire Royal Family.
* [[Mooks]]: A typical tactic of the villains is to swarm their adversaries with mooks, whether of the mummy, zombie, or vampire variety.
Line 173:
* [[Shout-Out]]: Hime's resurrection spell is either an affectionate shout out to or a shameless ripoff of H.P. Lovecraft , depending on how charitable you're feeling.
** Sherwood has a bunch of [[Romance of the Three Kingdoms]] references, ranging from her [http://mangable.com/princess_resurrection/chapter-13/21/ Zhuge Liang fan] to the [http://mangable.com/princess_resurrection/chapter-13/40/ sworn pandahood].
** The recharging station Flandre uses [http://mangable.com/princess_resurrection/chapter-4/04/ here] is remarkably similar to the ones used by [[Star Trek: theThe Next Generation|The Borg]].
** A bug-headed scientist, a la the original ''[[The Fly]]''; [[The Day of the Triffids|Triffids]], IIRC; The aforementioned Pod People; the series LOVES referencing classic sci-fi/horror. Chapter 13 even features a monster designed along the same lines as the imfamous Rat-Bat-Spider from ''[[Angry Red Planet]]''. How's that for obtuse references!
*** Later it's even worse: An old member off the [[Cthulhu Mythos|Great Race of Yith]] appears in one chapter as an assasin, and a squid creature judge in chapter 23 bears an uncanny resemblense to the Venusian from ''[[It Conquered the World]]''.
Line 187:
** Chapter 59 has [[The Evil Dead|a tape recorder and possessed bodies]].
** Chapter 70 has a [[Silent Hill 2|Pyramid Head]] [[Captain Ersatz]].
** Another one from [http://www.mangareader.net/princess-resurrection/70/4 chapter 70] will seem familiar to fans of [[Cyborg 009 (Manga)|Cyborg 009]].
** In chapter 72, there's mention of a [[Cthulhu Mythos|Shoggoth]] and what appears to be a [[Star Wars|Saarlac.]]
* [[The Slow Path]]: Flandre stays behind when the crew goes to the past and deactivates. Back in the present, they find her and take her to her creator to be repaired.
Line 206:
* [[The One Guy]]: Hiro is the only guy who lives in Hime's mansion, because the other occupants are his sister, Hime, Flandre, Riza, occasional visits from Reiri, as well as Sherwood and her team. Would be good for him except for the fact he's just their [[Chew Toy]].
* [[Theme Naming]]: The [[Robo-Family]].
* [[There Can Be Only One]]: {{spoiler|Every new generation of Royals must kill each other off until only one is left to [[Ascend to Aa Higher Plane of Existence]].}}
* [[This Is a Drill]]: Francette, one of Flandre's sisters, loses an arm. Due to a lack of appropriate replacement android parts, she now has a drill for an arm. This doesn't seem like a bad thing.
* [[Time Travel]]: Hime and her retainers get sent 2,000 years in the past by a revengeful spider deity. {{spoiler|They manage to go back to the present thanks to Flandre, who however has to stay behind. When they are back, they see a shrine that wasn't there before: it was erected to house the powered-out Flandre.}}
