Line 16:
** And in the latest chapters, he apparently has (white) women delivered to him. [[Where Da White Women At?|Gets better and better...]]
* ''[[Bleach (Manga)|Bleach]]'' has a few.
** Many fans set the series under fire for having seeming sexual favoritism of men over women. It's not completely untrue. Most female characters are either useless, or are useful, ending up fighting stronger opponents and needing to be saved by men. In one occasion, Soifon vs Baraggan, Soifon was a female Captain and was saved by a former male Lieutenant who didn't even use a Zanpakuto. There are also the cases of Mashiro vs Wonderweiss and Nel vs Nnoitra. In the case of the latter, a huge backstory evolved between the two in a massive conflict of Nnoitra having ruined Nel and her fraccion's lives essentially. Just when Nel is about to win, she suddenly goes back to her almost useless loli form and needs to be saved by [[Rated "M" for Manly|Kenpachi Zaraki]]. And then there's the [[Death By Childbirth|horrors]] that Nemu had to deal with from [[Nightmare Fuel Station Attendant|Szayel Aporro Granz.]]
** Chad is a nice guy who's also shown to be very physically strong and a capable fighter, but he's also [[Ambiguously Brown|Mexican]] and suffers [[The Worf Effect]] much more than most of the other characters, which results in having the lighter skinned characters bail him out of almost every sticky situation he gets into.
** In Episode 11 of the anime, Tatsuki sees that Orihime is ranked third in their year and notes that this is normal for her, albeit surprising considering Orihime's [[Cloudcuckoolander|usual personality]]. In the Dub, Tatsuki randomly describes it as "Pretty good for a girl".
Line 64:
* Following the off screen defeat of the Europeans in ''[[Code Geass (Anime)|Code Geass]]'' R2 the world is pretty much divided between the East controlled by the Black Knights (which is good) and the West dominated by Britannia (which is bad).
** Forget that, there was the implications that this series was a [[Take That]] towards America, although there is some evidence to the contrary within the series.
** And how the East is remarkably similar to Imperial Japanese propaganda, which represented Japan as protecting Asia from Western imperialism. Has led to the series being nicknamed "Code [
* ''[[Axis Powers Hetalia (Manga)|Axis Powers Hetalia]]'':
** This is set during WWII. [[Moe Anthropomorphism|The Axis powers]] are the protagonists and are portrayed as a group of young men who ambiguously start a war and then spend a lot of time just hanging out. The Allies are all either incompetent, evil, or both. Granted, there are two sides to history, but this is [[Nazi Germany]]. It could get very offensive if it wasn't [[Refuge in Audacity|99% comedy]].
Line 113:
* In ''[[Suite Precure]]'', the good guys play happy music, and the villains play sad music. Meaning sad music, and those that play it, are indeed [[Made of Evil]].
* ''[[Okane ga Nai (Manga)|Okane ga Nai]]'': Hooo boy. All the classic [[Unfortunate Implications]] specific to [[Boys Love Tropes]] with a little less finesse. We got [[Victim Falls For Rapist]], [[Stockholm Syndrome]] and [[Lima Syndrome]]. The [[Seme]], Kanou is an [[Domestic Abuse|abusive]] [[Bastard Boyfriend]] [[Loan Shark]] (!!!) who purchases the [[Uke]] as a [[Sex Slave]]. Said Uke, Ayase is a [[Too Dumb to Live]] [[Love Freak]] who every "straight" guy in the universe seems to want to rape. Also, Ayase, despite being [[Older Than They Look|an 18-year-old college student]], looks like [[Shotacon|a ten-year-old girl]]. And [[Fridge Horror|did we mention that this story was actually written by a man]]?
* ''[[Maranosuke]]'' has [[Hot Amazon|Mi]][[Sassy Black Woman|na,]] the ''only'' (legit) [[Action Girl]] of the Nakama that curbstomped a [[Fake Ultimate Mook]] [[Mad Bomber]] with [[Single
* ''[[Cowboy Bebop (Anime)|Cowboy Bebop]]'' - The episode "Mushroom Samba" (Very related to the [[Mushroom Samba|trope of the same name]]) is meant to be a parody of [[Blaxsploitation]] films. It features a black, female bounty hunter named "Coffee" and, at its worst, a black guy steals a watermelon truck. Eeeeyeah...
* Kyouka from ''[[Kyouran Kazoku Nikki]]'' is from a race of demons that possess people. This means that Kyouka's body actually belongs to a human girl who has her personality wiped out--or at least suppressed--so Kyouka is provided with a host. The girl's horrible fate is never addressed throughout the series, likely because it would put Kyouka's antics within a body that isn't hers in a rather grim light.
