Wicked City: Difference between revisions

Line 8:

''Wicked City'' (妖獣都市 Yōjū Toshi?) is an attack on the senses. It started as a series of horror novels written by Hideyuki Kikuchi. The first of said novels was adapted into an anime movie by [[Yoshiaki Kawajiri]] ([[Ninja Scroll]], [[Cyber City Oedo 808]]) in [[The Eighties]], and later into a live-action movie. Being the better-known part of the franchise, the tropes here will be taken mostly from the anime, so please add those from the movie and novels!

Line 17:

* [[Badass Normal]]: Renzaburou has no supernatural powers, but gets by due to his quick wits and physical skills.

* [[Battle Couple]]: Makie and Renzaburou become one of these by the end. {{spoiler|Just as planned by Giuseppe.}}

* [[Blown Across the Room]]: Subverted with the [[Hand Cannon]]. It actually has enough recoil to justify the impact, and Taki has to brace himself against a wall to fire it.

* {{spoiler|[[Bittersweet Ending]]: The peace treaty is signed, everything goes well in the end. However, Makie must return to the Demon World, and it's almost a sure thing that she and Renzaburou will not see each other again, even when she's pregnant with their half-human/half-demon child. He is seen thinking rather sullenly in the end, but decides to keep on living as well as he can.}}

* [[Dirty Old Man]]: Giuseppe. To the point that {{spoiler|the demons use [[Honey Trap|a beautiful demonic]] [[High Class Call Girl]] to try killing him. They almost succeed... [[The Plan|with a catch]].}}

* [[Eldritch Abomination]] / [[Humanoid Abomination]]: Pretty much all the demons have this vibe; even those who stay human in appearance are very clearly ''not''.

* [[Fan Disservice]]: Renzaburou's [[Tall, Dark and Bishoujo]] one-night stand? {{spoiler|She turns out to be a spider woman who tries to kill him by eating him with her mouth that was once her vagina right after they go at it.}} The [[High Class Call Girl]] that Giuseppe fondles in a soapland? {{spoiler|Another demon woman, who almost kills him by absorbing him into her through her breasts.}} The times we get to see Renzaburou's [[Lady of War|beautiful and badass partner]] Makie naked? {{spoiler|First fingerbanged by a guy who's holding her down against her will. Then a giant worm demon orally rapes her after exploding her clothes off. Then some gang rape. Then the gang rape again.}} And it goes on and on...

* {{spoiler|[["Glad to Be Alive" Sex]]: Makie and Renzaburou, after he rescues her from the other demons. And then they're both ambushed by the Spider Woman.}}

** {{spoiler|[[Good People Have Good Sex]]: Doubles as this, as their sexual encounter is very sweet and tender.}}

* [[Half Human Hybrids]]: {{spoiler|Makie and Renzaburou are the parents of the first one, according to Giuseppe. Said child will be known as the living proof that humans and demons can co-exist in peace.}}

* [[Honey Trap]]: {{spoiler|Spider Woman and the [[High Class Call Girl]].}}

* [[Honey Trap]]: {{spoiler|Spider Woman and the [[High-Class Call Girl]].}}

** And on the English side, Greg Snegoff (Taki), [[Steve Kramer]] (Jin), [[Melora Harte]] (Soapland girl), and [[Mike Reynolds]] (Giuseppe)

* [[No Name Given]]: The Spider Woman and the [[High Class Call Girl]].

* [[No Name Given]]: The Spider Woman and the [[High-Class Call Girl]].

* [[Obfuscating Stupidity]]: {{spoiler|Giuseppe. Holy SHIT, [[Guile Hero|Giuseppe]].}}

* [[Pregnant Badass]]: {{spoiler|As soon as she and Renzaburou have sex and she gets pregnant, Makie's powers go past the ceiling. So much that ''she'' is the one who delivers the fatal blow to the [[Big Bad]], while elegantly and badassedly wrapped in a [[Modesty Bedsheet]].}}
