Line 6:
Joining them on their quest is Tsutomu-kun and Harumi-chan, two humans from the school Enma makes his base under (which one joins first depends on which version of the story you're reading/watching). Together, they make up the Demon Patrol, and work at protecting the town from youkai, sexually harassing Yukiko, and... well, that's about it, really.
The series is particularly notable because it was Go Nagai's first attempt at a children's manga after almost single-handedly bootstrapping the [[Ecchi]] subgenre of comedy manga in Japan with Harenchi Gakuen -- having said that, it is also a bit of [[Values Dissonance]] to western sensibilities: the nudity and sexuality in the series is blatant, especially in the [[Hotter and Sexier|more modern remakes]], and Enma is a very unrepentant, perverted [[Anti
Over the 40 years that Enma-kun has existed there have been a number of remakes, spin offs, and parodies. For example, in 2000, Go Nagai did a parody spinoff, ''Dororon Enpi-Chan'' (どろろん艶靡ちゃん), with a gender-bent cast and the sexuality turned up to 11 -- notable because the main female lead, Enpi-chan (a sort of cross between Nagai's "[[Kekko Kamen]]" and Enma) is a reoccurring character in the most recent animated version.
Line 19:
=== Tropes appearing in the original anime and manga: ===
* [[Five
** Enma-kun: [[The Hero]], naturally; can also be thought to be [[The Big Guy]] in the account of having the most destructive attacks and the least consideration in attacking.
** Yukiko-Hime: [[The Chick]], although she does play [[The Lancer]] too.
Line 33:
* [[Action Girl]]: Yukiko, when she's not getting captured, that is.
* [[All Men Are Perverts]]: Yes, all of them. Even the talking hat.
* [[All
* [[An Ice Person]]: Yukiko-hime has power over ice, enjoys taking freezing baths, and likes to hang out by open freezers. Since she's a [[Youkai|Yuki-Onna]], it's only natural.
* [[Animate Inanimate Object]]: Chapeau-jii is a floating, talking hat with a face.
* [[Anticlimax]]: A particularly amusing one in Episode Three. {{spoiler|Dokuro, the [[Monster of the Week]], has been set up as the most powerful foe that team has yet faced, and a potential [[Big Bad]] candidate. However, the entire episode ends up focusing on the Patrol's preparations for his arrival, and he only shows up after the credits... to be rapidly dispatched by Enma, [[Animated Actors|since he'd spent so much time waiting around offstage that his legs had fallen asleep]].}}
* [[Anti
* [[Ascended Extra]] / [[Demoted to Extra]]: Harumi and Tsutomu, respectively.
* [[Ass Kicks You]]: Chiiko-sensei does a good show of this.
Line 69:
* [[Drop the Hammer]]: Enma's [[Finishing Move]].
** Once Yukiko and Enpi joins him.
* [[Dude, She's Like, in A Coma]]: When Harumi and Yukiko fall into a deep sleep in Episode 4, Chapeau-jii kisses them to break the spell. When it doesn't work, Enma takes advantage of Yukiko's state all too eagerly.
* [[Ecchi]]: Very much so.
* [[Enemy Mine]]: Frequent between Enpi and the Demon Patrol when her latest scheme backfires.
Line 78:
* [[Face Stealer]]: Episode 1's villain Face Eater, who turns his victims into [[The Blank]].
* [[Fire and Brimstone Hell]]: The world the Youkai all come from looks like this.
* [[Five
* [[Forgotten Childhood Friend]]: Slipsqueak
* [[Gag Boobs]]: Chiiko-sensei
Line 121:
* [[Mister Exposition]]: Chapeau-ji in episode 2.
* [[Monster of the Week]]: The series seems to be following this trend so far.
* [[Multi
* [[Multicolored Hair]]: Yukiko-hime is light blue on top and purple on the bottom.
* [[Mushroom Samba]]: Episode 4 has the characters trapped in a highly bizarre dream world by a demon.
Line 127:
* [[Naughty Tentacles]]: Common, and guaranteed to immediately gravitate towards [[Ms. Fanservice|Yukiko-hime]].
* [[Nice Hat]]: Chapeau-ji is a living example of this trope and part of Enma's costume.
* [[Non
* [[No Ontological Inertia]]: Whatever evil was perpetrated by the [[Monster of the Week]] is undone by reducing him to a grease spot. Damage done by the heroes, being of a more physical variety, sticks around until the end of the episode. We're talking damage on par with [[Ranma One Half|The Nerima Wrecking Crew]].
* [[Occult Detective]]: The Youkai Patrol have this as their job description. Try getting them to actually DO it.
Line 133:
* [[Panty Shot]]: Strangely ''subverted'' with Harumi in episode 1 and the beginning of episode 2. Enma-kun got a glimpse but the audience did not.
** And subverted again in episode 6 because she was wearing her school swimsuit under her clothes.
* [[Pint
* [[Playing With Fire]]: Enma's powers all seem to be fire-based.
* [[Power of Love]]: {{spoiler|Enma}} has it sealed. And it is powerful enough to '''destroy everything'''.
Line 162:
** And they're very proud of it.
*** [[Justified Trope|Justified]] for Yukiko-Hime. As a [[An Ice Person|Yuki-Onna]] she's very sensitive to heat. To her wearing ''any'' underwear is like putting on a pair of long-johns in the middle of summer.
* [[What Do You Mean
* [[What Do You Mean It Wasn't Made On Drugs?]]
* [[Widget Series]]: AND HOW!
* [[Would Not Hit a Girl]]: Hachinosu-Nyudo considers himself a 'gentleman', and so prefers not to use his more dangerous abilities against women. [[All Men Are Perverts|Humiliating abilities, on the other hand, are A-OK.]]
