Line 4:
Unfortunately, the latest freshman class consists of nothing but spineless tough-guy wannabes [[Great Escape|just aching to escape]]... until a delinquent named [[The Hero|Tsurugi Momotaro]] comes to attend. What follows is a [[Character Development|gradual change]] for the freshman class as they struggle under Momotaro's leadership to [[Hilarity Ensues|overcome anything and everything that stands before them]], be it the [[Adults Are Useless|incompetent and]] [[Hypocrite|hypocritical teachers]], or worse...
''[[Sakigake!! Otokojuku]]'' (''Charge!! Men's Private School'') is a comedy martial arts manga series created by Akira Yamashita that ran in Weekly Shonen Jump from 1985 to 1991, focusing on the absurdities of the titular school at large, as well as its awkward place in modern Japanese society. As the genre indicates, not only are there plenty of [[Hilarity Ensues|crazy things happening in each story]], but there is also no shortage of amazing moments from many of the main characters, both [[Badass|expected]] and [[Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass|unexpected]]. Note that these moments often intersect in this series.
It received an anime adaptation of 34 episodes in 1988, and is quite a watch if only to hear voice actors such as the legendary [[Daisuke Gouri]] simply act [[World of Ham|as outrageously as possible]].

Line 31:
** Michele.
* [[Black Eyes]]: Jinshou.

** And theres an in story version of this trope. And HOW.
* [[Blow You Away]]: Jaki's favourite attacks.
Line 80:

* [[Gag Series]]: First part.
* [[Gasshole]]: Toramaru.
** [[Fartillery]]
* [[Genius Bruiser]] : Students of Otokojuku will end up in this position, but its taken [[Up to Eleven]] by Edajima Heihachi, which as the prequel shows, is capable of
* [[Get a Hold of Yourself, Man!]]: {{spoiler|Jaki punches Momo right before the former dies from his battle against Spartacus.}}
** {{spoiler|Akashi does the same thing to Toramaru when Togashi dies in the fight against Kintan and Gintan.}}
Line 90:
* [[Good Scars, Evil Scars]]: Togashi, Date, probably more.
* [[Graceful Loser]]: Happens as often as [[Dirty Coward]].
* [[Gratuitous English]] : Definitely one of the iconic part of the show. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VqbtbTSeai0 look for it.]
* [[Greek Mythology]]: Fighting Olympus Gods, a team from the Daibukai.
* [[Hachimaki]]: Momotaro.
Line 96:

* [[High-Pressure Blood]]
* [[Hoist
** Red Thunder is struck by lightning.
* [[Hollywood Acid]]
* [[Hotblooded Sideburns]]
* [[Informed Ability]] : Tazawa, known as the Brain of the first years. He is the same person who gives the iconic in series [[Blind Idiot Translation]]. Subverted since he is quite a genius, and everyone in Otokojuku is a genius by the end.
* [[Impaled
* [[Improbable Aiming Skills]]: Souketsu shows off his abilities by shooting and overlapping several arrows into the badge of Togashi's hat. Gekkou does the same thing, killing a horse with two golf balls.

* [[Prehensile Hair]]: Raja Mahal.
* [[Rain of Blood]]: Chapter 59.
* [[Raised
* [[Rapid-Fire Fisticuffs]]: J.
* [[Rated "M" for Manly]]: It's actually [[Shonen Genre]], published at a time when incredibly violent and sexual content was pretty kosher for that demographic. Nowadays, though? Totally [[Seinen]].
Line 142:
* [[Shirtless Scene]]: Actually pretty frequent. You'd think that the author was actively trying to get female readers into this manga.
* [[Shock and Awe]]: Red Thunder.
* [[Shout-Out]]: Matsuo's haircut is that of ''[[Sazae
** Michele (that's a guy, by the way) looks way too much like [[Rose of Versailles|Lady Oscar]] to be a coincidence. And he's French to boot. Toramaru and Togashi even mock him, saying "He looks like he came out straight of a Shoujo manga!".
* [[Smarter Than You Look]] : Pretty much everyone that enrolls at Otokojuku, since they are given hard training in both physical and educational side. Theres a reason why the show informs the reader early on that the alumni of the school will become a huge part of the country.
* [[The Stoic]]: Too many examples, one of the most important being Momotaro himself.
* [[Suck My Rose]]: Senkuu and Michele (in Michele's case, they're poisoned).
Line 155:
* [[Time to Unlock More True Potential]]: Almost everyone shows off a new fighting style in every battle and the original styles are rarely, if ever, touched upon again.
* [[Toilet Humor]]: Raiden's monkeys sometimes throw poo, Pharaoh drinks a chimpanzee's pee, etc.
* [[Took a Level
* [[Tournament Arc]]: Pretty much ''every'' arc once the comedy chapters stop.
** The Tusks Arc is both this and a [[Rescue Arc]], as Edajima was kidnapped and needs to be saved.
* [[Training
* [[Use Your Head]]: How Togashi crushes the ball holding the antidote during his fight with Michele.
** The entire fight between Edajima and Zuikyou.
