Line 11:
* [[Accidental Pervert]]: Yoichi, plenty of times.
** "plenty of times" meaning over 10 instances in quite possibly EVERY CHAPTER
* [[A -Cup Angst]]: Ayame
* [[Adaptation Expansion]]: Ukyou is the [[Big Bad]] in the anime, but in the manga he's more or less just another [[Villain of the Week]], and his role isn't nearly as big as it is in the anime. He's also not as big of a [[Jerkass]] in the manga as he is in the anime.
** In addition, Yui Hinagata gets expanded as a villain in the anime, whereas in the manga she, along with her two other friends, were merely giving him the love letter as a joke, and mock him at the end of the chapter. She does make another appearance later in the manga, but she's not a fighter as in the anime, and her competition is with Ibuki rather than Yoichi.
Line 37:
* [[Boobs of Steel]]: Ibuki isn't to be trifled with in bust size or kendo mastery. Angela also fits the bill.
* [[Breakable Weapons]]: Pretty much any weapon being used near or against Yoichi will be subject to this; one use of his "Nagi" Strike, and whatever it is, be it solid wood or even ''metal'', will be guaranteed to break.
* [[Can't Catch Up]]: A lot of Ayame's resentment towards Ibuki is the fact that Ibuki seems to be better at her in every way, from academics to athletics, as well as [[A -Cup Angst|bust size]]. She largely seems to get over it once Yoichi shows up and tells her that she's special in her own ways and shouldn't be comparing herself to her sister anyway.
* [[Catgirl]]: Angela dresses as one during the [[Festival Episode]].
* [[Casanova]]: [http://www.mangafox.com/manga/asu_no_yoichi/v07/c026/9.html Mejiro Tokiya] causes all the girls around him to have to be sent to the nurses office. When Ibuki and Ayame don't even give him a second look, he gets upset.
Line 55:
* [[Curb Stomp Battle]]: Yoichi in the anime, and most fights in the manga.
** Nuezume delivers one to Ibuki in the manga, while blindfolded.
* [[Cursed Withwith Awesome]]: Oboro developed a potion that essentially gives her immortality and eternal youth, but this caused the villagers she lived with to be suspicious of her and turn against her eventually, since they felt she was using them as a guinea pig for her medicine.
* [[Cute Clumsy Girl]]: Hinted at in the anime, but better stated in the manga. Kagome is given this (additional) explanation as to why she sits out of PE classes.
* [[Delinquent]]: Ryou Washizu. Though for a delinquent, he's quite the romantic person as far as Ibuki is involved.
Line 70:
* [[Dull Eyes of Unhappiness]]: Tsubasa when she's in her fighting mode.
* [[Erotic Eating]]: [http://www.mangafox.com/manga/asu_no_yoichi/v03/c012/2.html Chihaya] at the start of episode nine. Kagome in a slightly lesser sense in the same scene. Later [http://www.mangafox.com/manga/asu_no_yoichi/v07/c027/39.html Ayame and Ibuki] get a turn.
* [[Everything but Thethe Girl]]: Ukyou.
* [[Everything Is Even Worse With Sharks]]: In episode 10, a pair of [[Monster of the Week|villains of the week]] make a return appearance... Riding sharks as ''surfboards''.
* [[Evolving Credits]]: For most of the season, Ukyou and Sakon have their faces hidden by masks until they reveal themselves in-show. The opening follows suit.
Line 81:
* [[Flanderization]]: Torigaya, who goes from [[Japanese Delinquents|Troublemaker's]] [[Straight Man|Bro]] (and about 9cm shorter) in ch. 2 to a [[Little People Are Surreal|Pint-sized]] [[Man Child|Pre-pubescent]] high-schooler in ch. 37(who rides on [[Japanese Delinquents|Washizu]]'s shoulders!).
* [[Forgotten Childhood Friend]]: Ukyou.
* [[For the Evulz]]: Oboro, who does various things to the main characters, because she wants to be entertained. Later it turns out that she's doing it as vengeance against humanity because she's [[Cursed Withwith Awesome]] and the people around her started turning against her.
* [[Funny Afro]]: Oboro makes a powder that [http://www.mangareader.net/289-52511-47/asu-no-yoichi/chapter-31.html gives people an afro]. Angela is not amused, but Yoichi seems pretty happy.
* [[Gainaxing]]: A-plenty in this series, most notably Chihaya on a vibrating massage chair...
Line 104:
* [[Implausible Fencing Powers]]: Yoichi frequently displays tenets of this, almost always invoking [[Katanas Are Just Better]] (or rather, [[Wooden Katanas Are Even Better]]), when he does. The most commonly seen use of this comes in Yoichi's "Nagi" (Lull) Strike, whose purpose is to attack the opponent's weapon with the intent of breaking it. Yoichi's first use of the technique sees him simultaneously fighting twenty-something ninja who, on top of actually being competent and well-trained, were all armed with steel weapons and pumped up on a brainwashing/strength enhancement drug cocktail. Yoichi, who appeared to only be able to block their blows, shatters all of their weapons in short order, using only his trademark bokuto. He later cuts a giant robot to pieces with a tree branch.
* [[Instant Bandages]]: Tsubasa has some on her after she trips while working at the restaurant. Yoichi sometimes has them after [[Clingy Jealous Girl|getting beaten up]] by Ibuki.
* [[Jerk Withwith a Heart of Gold]]: When he is not terrorizing the neighborhood, Washizu is really an endearingly romantic boy with a kind and decent heart.
* [[Laser-Guided Amnesia]]: Ibuki regresses to a childlike state, to the point where she doesn't even recognize Kagome.
* [[Lethal Chef]]: Ayame.
Line 133:
* [[Promotion to Parent]]: Ibuki is running the place and Chihaya seems to provide for the family by monetary means.
* [[Puppy Love]]: Between Kagome and Masashi, a mild [[Tsundere]] who is a student of Ibuki's dojo and acts as Kagome's protector (oftentimes from her own clumsiness).
* [[Raised Byby Dudes]]: Until he comes down from it at the beginning of the story, Yoichi has lived on a mountain his entire life, with only his dad and...
* [[Raised Byby Wolves]]: ...the resident wildlife.
* [[Running Gag]]: Tsubasa can apparently swap out her form with a teddy bear if she wants to escape Angie. Angie is always amazed at the "body swap".
* [[Sarashi]]: Kagome, and Ibuki wears this while training with Yoichi.
Line 144:
* [[Sibling Rivalry]]: While Ayame greatly respects and looks up to Ibuki, she often feels inadequate when compared to her sister's martial arts skills, bust size, and popularity. The final chapter of the manga ends with the two sisters realizing they're also romantic rivals (for Yoichi) as well.
* [[Storming the Castle]]: Done literally in episode 12.
* [[Suicide Asas Comedy]]: Yoichi tries to commit sepukku every once in a while, usually when faced with a comparatively minor setback.
* [[Supporting Harem]]: This seems to be the case. Kagome is too young for Yoichi to be interested in her, Chihaya is probably just teasing him, and Ayame tends to be a [[Shrinking Violet]] when it comes to expressing her feelings for him. Tsubasa is interested in Washizu, and while Angela seems to show interest in Yoichi, she never really gets to spend time with him (in the anime anyway. In the manga she gets lots more attention). Then there's the fact that Ibuki gets [[Clingy Jealous Girl|incredibly jealous]] if any Yoichi shows any interest in any other woman.
* [[Suspiciously Specific Denial]]: After Kagome catches Ayame trying to cook in the kitchen:
Line 166:
* [[What an Idiot!]]: Ukyou is in love with Ibuki and feels threatened by Yoichi's presence. You'd think that he'd try wooing Ibuki in the old fashioned way (as Washizu attempts to), but instead, he opts to send [[Punch Clock Villain|assassins]] and [[Psycho for Hire|psychos]] to beat up/maybe kill Yoichi while not even so much as dropping by to say "hello" to the girl he's supposedly nuts for.
* [[White-Haired Pretty Girl]]: Angela.
* [[Wise Beyond Their Years]]: Yoichi, though denser than lead, is able to constantly spout various moralistic/supportive words after any situation he's been thrown into, usually directed at the [[Villain of the Week]]. This could just be his [[Wide -Eyed Idealist|idealism]] talking, but at the same time isn't totally implausible, since he could have studied a wide variety of subjects while up in the mountains.
* [[Wouldn't Hit a Girl]]: Yoichi, though he has no problem with [[Blow You Away|using his wind attacks]].
* [[You Fight Like a Cow]]: Inverted. Yoichi compliments Washizu on the passion behind his punches, even if they are the untrained blows of a delinquent student.
