----
=== ''[[Rainbow Nisha Rokubou no Shichinin]]'' provides examples of: ===
* [[Adults Are Useless]]: The only good adult is the ineffectual warden Kumagai, otherwise they are all pretty useless or [[Complete Monster|much worse]].
* [[Badass]]: Sakuragi.
Line 26 ⟶ 24:
* [[Bishonen]]: Joe, Anchan, and Mario.
* [[But Not Too Foreign]]: Joe Yokosuka, the half-foreigner.
* [[Cluster F -Bomb]]: It's set in a prison, so it's not exactly surprising.
* [[Crapsack World]]: In the inmates' world, there's almost nothing but [[Complete Monster|Complete Monsters]] in high places as far as the eye can see.
* [[Defeat Means Friendship]]: Anchan manages to pwn the 6 newcomers on the first day and this sparked the formation of the Nakama.
Line 35 ⟶ 33:
* [[Engineered Public Confession]]: {{spoiler|Year after the six get out, they find Doctor Sasaki is running for mayor. They threaten him into confessing all he did in prison (but let him wake up thinking it was all a nightmare), and at a public debate before the election, play out the tape of him admitting raping inmates and orchestrating murders.}}
* [[Eye Scream]]: {{spoiler|Mario}}'s left eye, in volume 22. {{spoiler|Presumably the result of being trapped in a burning building two volumes beforehand.}}
* [[Five -Man Band]]
** [[The Hero]]: Anchan. {{spoiler|After he dies, Mario takes this spot}}
** [[The Lancer]]: Mario and Soldier.
Line 45 ⟶ 43:
* [[He Knows Too Much]]: Revealed to be the reason why Ishihara wants to make sure Anchan never gets released.
* [[Heroic BSOD]]
* [[Hey, ItsIt's That Voice!]]
** [[Shun Oguri]]: Mario Minakami.
** [[Keiji Fujiwara]]: Ryuji "Scam" Nomoto.
Line 51 ⟶ 49:
** [[Rikiya Koyama]]: Rokurouta "Big Brother" Sakuragi.
** [[Romi Paku]]: Noboru "Turtle" Maeda.
* [[Jerk Withwith a Heart of Gold]]: Anchan. Of course, it's revealed at the end of the first episode that this is actually a [[Jerkass Facade]] he put up to help the other members get a taste of prison life early.
* [[Jizzed in My Pants]]: Scam did this right before having his first time with a prostitute in Episode 17 and its corresponding manga chapter..
* [[Justified Criminal]]: Most of the six have some justification for the crimes they got sent in for. For example Mario {{spoiler|beat up a teacher that raped his classmate}} and both Scam and Turtle stole and scammed to survive after orphaned.
Line 61 ⟶ 59:
** Revealed in volume 21, {{spoiler|He voluntarily took the blame for a friend who shot a GI in the shoulder. Hence the scene from the anime OP, with the gun.}}
* [[Nakama]]: Definitely.
* [[No -Holds -Barred Beatdown]]: Several times, to the point of being [[Nightmare Fuel]].
* [[Out of the Inferno]]: The seven prisoners themselves came out of a burning prison. {{spoiler|Happens again with Mario and Setsuko in volume 20.}}
* [[Phenotype Stereotype]]: Joe, who has blonde hair and blue eyes.
* [[The Power of Friendship]]: Basically the whole point.
* [[Rape Asas Drama]]: Several times--this is a [[Prison Rape|prison]] after all. These poor kids get molested before we even learn any of their names!
* [[Reasonable Authority Figure]]: Kumagai.
* [[Shmuck Bait]]: Does putting "Explicit" in bright red in the disclaimer before every episode qualifies?
* [[Shout -Out]]: Chapters from the manga are all named after songs, with everything from "Born to Be Wild" to "My Immortal." Artist credits are given at the end of each tankoubon; the mangaka seem particularly fond of Helloween.
* [[Sliding Scale of Idealism Versus Cynicism]]: Despite the harshness, it's quite an idealistic series about the indomitable will of the human spirit in the face of almost unbearable cruelty.
* [[Speak Now or Forever Hold Your Peace]]: A variation, since it's a Japanese wedding. {{spoiler|Joe [[Invoked Trope|implies]] that Mario should do something about Setsuko's upcoming marriage before he develops any regrets. In response, Mario [[Defied Trope|defies]] and [[Subverted Trope|subverts]] this trope, only witnessing her wedding from afar and smiling to give her his best wishes.}}
Line 76 ⟶ 74:
* [[Surprisingly Good English]]: The Americans seem to be voiced by native speakers.
* [[Tattooed Crook]]: Cabbage
* [[Took a Level Inin Badass]]: {{spoiler|It at first seems that Joe is going to sleep with Sasaki so as to retrieve the keys to help the prisoners escape from the cell. Instead, he chokes the guy, ties him up, and leaves him there naked, taking the keys with him! Joe, the delicate bishonen from earlier who would let anyone walk over him!}}
* [[Where Are They Now? Epilogue]]: Towards the end of the first half of the series, the main characters are shown leading their own lives after their escape from the prison and {{spoiler|Anchan dies}}: Soldier joins the military, Joe works as a band's assistant while struggling to become a singer himself, Turtle sells various items on the black market, Cabbage works for a construction company, Scam goes to high school, and Mario works as a bartender. {{spoiler|This happens again at the series' actual end. Soldier is married to Meg and becomes a guard at the Shonan reform school, Joe is a popular singer running from screaming fangirls, Turtle has his own business, Cabbage is living in Hawaii with his wife Ruriko, Scam seems to have successfully become a lawyer, and Mario is in America, driving down Route 66.}}
