Yaiba: Difference between revisions

* [[Breath Weapon]]: Kotaro's Fire Ring Justu. Also {{spoiler|Demon-Gold}}.

* [[Butt Monkey]]: Oooh boy, poor little Spiderman is a huge one. Onimaru never misses a chance for punishing him, insulting him and hanging him out of the fortress with a rope. He drop this habit later.

* [[Calling Your Attacks]]: Yaiba Yaiba Yaiba. Also Onimaru and some of his enemies are guilty of this sometimes, often with bits of [[Gratuitous English]].

** Let's not forget Kojiro, whose Sword need a special command ("Grow Laundy Pole!") in order to activate his powers. Is really noticeable in the Spanish dub of the Anime..

** In the last arc, Juubei was guilty of this.

* [[Came Back Wrong]]: Kojiro and the Wandering Swordsmen resurrected by Onimaru were once famous japanese warriors.

* [[Fuuma Shuriken]]: Oddly, it's not used by the epynimous Kotaro, but by Goemon Ishikawa in his Bear form.

* [[Gag Penis]]: It's implied that Yaiba got one when he used the power of the Giant Orb for the first time.

* [[Giant Enemy Crab|Giant Enemy Lobster]]: Mangetsu demonstrate the power of "Getai" ([[Fusion Dance|merging]]) on a lobster.

* [[Giant Spider]]: The Spiderman, who is probably the cutest, funniest [[Giant Spider]] ever!

* [[Hot Mom]]: Yaiba's mother.

* [[I Was Quite a Looker]]: Musashi. And he still think he's at least decent.

'''Musashi''' (calmly):" Hey, I'm still attractive!" }}

* [[Iaijutsu Practitioner]]: The Yokoichimonji attack. Performed by {{spoiler|Devil King Onimaru}} and Yaiba.

* [[Overly Long Tongue]]: Gerozaemon, who often weaponized it. Also Chameleon Bonaparte. This lead to a epic Tongue duel between the two.

* [[The Owl-Knowing One]]: While looking for the Orb in Biwa Lake, Yaiba ask for help to an Old, large Owl. [[Owl Be Damned|Who want to get paid for his services.]]

* [[Paper-Thin Disguise]]: A [[Running Gag]] in the series. The Spiderman is the greatest offender. Yet, he's always successful.

* [[Punny Name]]: Many of them. Often with [[Bilingual Bonus]]

** The main one is Professor Kanabo ("Mano de Hierro" in the Spanish dub), whose name literally means "Iron Club". Kanabo's were said to be Oni's [[Weapon of Choice]] and there are many japanese proverbs about Oni's with Iron Clubs being stronger or even invincible. [[Lampshade Hanging]] by Spiderman.

* [[Quirky Miniboss Squad]]: The Hyakki, then the Shitenno, the Moon Generals, the Soldiers and Onimaru's Demons.

* [[Scary Impractical Armor]]: Onimaru sports one, which is not impractical and has a long cloak and Jetpack.

** It is only impractical against heat as the Chiki Chiki Grand Prix Omake shown:

'''Spiderman''':" If it's so hot... [[Lampshade Hanging|why don't you just take off that heavy armor?]]<br />

'''Onimaru''':" You FOOL! I can't just take off MY armor, The SYMBOL Of EVIL!!!" }}

* [[Theme Tune Cameo]]: Yaiba and the gang sing the end theme while in disguise from Kojiro.

* [[Token Girl]]: Sayaka. Poor little Sayaka.
