The Kurosagi Corpse Delivery Service: Difference between revisions

* [[Demonic Dummy]]: Well, more 'foul-mouthed alien' than 'demonic', really, but Kereellis qualifies, if only because he seems to be able to do things that normal ventriloquist dummies can't. {{spoiler|Although we're still not sure if it's not just a combination of Yata's powers and some dissociative mental disorder.}}

* [[Driven to Suicide]]: Several of the service's clients are suicides, including their very first.

* [[Due to The Dead]]: Giving the dead their due is what the service is for.

* [[Dysfunction Junction]]: {{spoiler|So far we've one whose entire immediate family (except one sister) was murdered, one who lost his sister and both parents to a murder-suicide and barely survived, one whose mother committed suicide in front of her, one whose parents and older brother 'disappeared' (and later discovers where their corpses are buried, but is unable to retrieve them) and the [[Blessed With Suck]] entry above. [[Wild Mass Guessing|His parents are probably dead too]].}}

** Reina Gorn is a one-shot version.

* [[Nausea Fuel]]: This happens in-universe when Yata tries to view some of Sasaki's pictures while eating. It...does not go well for him.

* [[Not Using the Zed Word]]: They don't ever call them that, but what else would you call it when the dead start moving? They have used it jokingly.

* [[Older Than They Look]]: Jenny Kayama, Sasaki's professor. She looks as young as her student, but she's actually ''Sasayama's'' age.

* [[Sadist Teacher]]: Played with in the school arc in Vol. 11. {{spoiler|the Vice-Principal is a nasty, shouting, stereotypical [[Sadist Teacher]], but the gentle, forgiving, Principal is a serial child murderer.}}

* [[Screw This, I'm Outta Here]]: Karatsu was about to do this when he heard about Yata's alien-channeling hand puppet, but then the puppet exposed Karatsu's talent.

** For starters, Numata makes many shout outs to classic shonen titles as a result of reading too much manga.

** Yata also has a few shout outs to ''[[Star Wars]]'', including a Darth Vader cellphone charm.

* [[Shown Their Work]]:

** ''Disjecta Membra'' - the section in each English volume that translates the SFX, and which doubles as [[Useful Notes]] for Japan's writing system, culture and history. The 1st volume's, for instance, covers Aokigahara Forest, Pac-man, what's considered an 'old' building in Tokyo and Japan's construction industry, folklore, Buddhist altars, old manga, [[Easter Egg|Easter Eggs]] in the story and emergency numbers.

* [[Sliding Scale of Comedy and Horror]]

* [[Start to Corpse]]: The ''second page'' of the first volume.
