''The Law of Ueki'' is a manga series created by Fukuchi Tsubasa that was adapted as an anime. The story basically starts out when Mori Ai thinks that her classmate, [[The Determinator|Ueki Kousuke]], is an alien. Not quite, but he does have the [[Green Thumb|power to turn trash into trees and control them]]. This power was given to him by their teacher, a God Candidate involved in the [[Tournament Arc|Battle of the Supernatural Powers]], a tournament to decide who will be the next [[King of All Cosmos|god of Heaven]].

* [[Official Couple]] - Ueki and Mori. While not explicit in the anime (although there are are a few subtle [[Ship Tease]] moments) it is made clearer in the manga and becomes fully canon by the end of the sequel series, ''[[Oddly-Named Sequel 2: Electric Boogaloo|The Law of Ueki Plus]]''.

* [[Offscreen Moment of Awesome]] - intentionally done twice, with characters describing how awesome a [[Dangerous Forbidden Technique]] was, after it was used ''off-camera''. It is then [[Hand Wave|explained]] as the result of a lack in special effects budget.

'''Subtitles:''' ((Please imagine the attack for yourselves)) }}

* [[Ojou]] - Rinko, whose status and wealth had been exploited to no end by her schoolmates, leading her to join the Robert's Ten.

* [[Screw This, I'm Outta Here]]: Hideyoshi does this to Team Ueki at the end. However, he couldn't abandon his friends in the end, and by coming back at the last minute, {{spoiler|He saves Kosuke's life by getting knocked out by his Kurogane attack}}.

* [[Talk to the Fist|Talk To The Tree]]

* [[Sink or Swim Mentor]] - while Koba-sen, Ueki's God Candidate, has a strong sense of justice, he is laid back to the point that he pretty much leaves Ueki to figure out his powers by himself. To be fair, though, those are the rules. When he does step in to save Ueki from certain death--against the tournament's rules--he promptly suffers from the [[Mentor Occupational Hazard]]. Though he doesn't die, he is {{spoiler|sent to Hell}}.

** However, Kobayashi never told Ueki about the tournament, its rules, or the prize until after he'd already gotten into a fight. Everybody else knew all the specifics well before then.
