Grenadier: Difference between revisions

 

There's also a manga version with a plot far differing from that of the anime, with Rushuna trying to find her homeland, editing the backstories of some of the major characters (including turning her evil counterpart into an adoptive sister, and the Iron-Masked Baron into a nutjob capable of making Hitler look sane), and turning the world they live in into a [[After the End|post-apocalyptic scenario]], except it's been so long after it that the [[Lost Technology|ancient super weapons]] are buried deep and the world is somewhat flourishing. Production of the manga is currently discontinued in the United States, though; price gouging is inevitable.

 

* [[Absolute Cleavage]]: Rushuna and many other females display this quite nicely.

* [[Child Prodigy]]: Mikan.

* [[Chivalrous Pervert]]: Teppa

* [[Curtains Match the Window]]: Rushina's a blonde with [[Eyes of Gold]].

* [[The Ditz]]: Rushuna has her moments of this.

* [[Dramatic Wind]]: With Mikan's forgiveness, Rushuna's skirt is blown in the wind.

* [[Everyone Loves Blondes]]: Yajiro for Rushuna.

* [[Evil Counterpart]]: {{spoiler|Setsuna the Tenshi impersonator.}} This is reflected quite well visually, with her outfit, hair, and skin being stark contrasts to Rushuna's brighter colors.

* [[Fan Service]]: One of the figurines actually came with two different detachable bosoms.

* [[Firing in The Air A Lot]]: Win a weekend at the Peach Blossom Tower!

* [[Follow the Leader]]: A blonde, pacifistic outlaw with ridiculously good gun skills; a group of assassins whose main purpose is to torture the main character with their inevitable deaths; and a mysterious, completely nihilistic antagonist, much like ''[[Trigun (Manga)|Trigun]]''.

* [[Furo Scene]]: Rushuna is constantly searching for her next hot bath.

* [[Gun Kata]]: Rushuna and Setsuna in episode 12.

* [[Happily Married]]: {{spoiler|Rushuna and Yajiro at the end of the manga.}}

** Yajiro is [[Samurai Champloo|Mugen]] and [[One Piece|Zoro]].(See [[Kazuya Nakai]] below)

*** In English he's [[Eternal Sonata|Alegretto]] and [[Naruto|Zaku]].

* [[Implausible Fencing Powers]]: Yajiro uses his katana to fend off bullets, [[Star Wars|Jedi-style]].

* [[Improbable Aiming Skills]]: Rushuna is the queen of this, and is often considered to be [[Trigun Vash|The Stampede's]] [[Distaff Counterpart]] because of it.

* [[In a Single Bound]]: Rushuna can pull this off, but so can others.

* [[Karma Houdini]]: After orchestrating the deaths of countless innocents and attempting to conquer the world, Setsuna ... goes for an ocean cruise.

* [[Spared By the Adaptation]]: Koto-chan.

* [[Spin to Deflect Stuff]]: Oh, yeah.

* [[Tagalong Kid]]: Mikan.

* [[Take My Hand]]: Yajiro and Fuuka, episode 9.

* [[This Is Something He's Got to Do Himself]]: Yatchan versues the Jester.

* [[Title Drop]]: The word Grenadier doesn't even come up until the 10th episode, when Rushina is given the title of Grenadier for having allegedly slaughtered all the Juttensen that went against her. {{spoiler|In the finale, the title of Grenadier is bestowed on her, but repurposed as Grenadier: The Smiling Senshi for her mastery of removing an enemy's will to fight.}}

* [[Unorthodox Reload]]: Rushuna loads her gun by ejecting bullets [[Victoria's Secret Compartment|from her cleavage]]. [[media:grenadier-unauxreload_9914.gif|grenadier-unauxreload_9914.gif]]

** The most amazing feat though is that she then fetches them with her open revolver.

* [[Weird Moon]]

* [[Wendee Lee]]: Rushuna's English voice.

* [[Wrongly Accused]]

* [[You Have Failed Me]]: Standard operating procedure for the Jester and part of his master plan.
