Yukari Is Free: Difference between revisions

{{work}}

'''Season 1'''- The first season began with Yukari Tanizaki suddenly deciding to kill her class, and their attempts to stop her/escape. The story then moved into the afterlife, as one by one the students either fell victim to her or to their own stupidity, and they began trying to find a way to return to Earth before it came time for their souls to be judged and assigned to an eternity in either Heaven or Hell.

* [[Artistic License Biology]]: Combined with [[Insane Troll Logic]] when Tomo insists that since she and Torako are twins, that means they're essentially clones, and therefore any sexual contact between them is only masturbation, and not incest. Yeah.

** Also, Gang Member 122 and Miura both seem to think that alligators are lizards.

* [[Ascended Extra]]: A great many characters originally introduced as background filler, including Gendo Yamane, Tetsuo Matsuoka, Chie Togusa, Ai Tanagawa, Shinji Ryougi, Ran and Rei Kakizaki, and nearly every other gang member to appear after the third season.

* [[Attempted Rape]]: Kyoto's first appearance has him trying to have some fun with Osaka. Because she was injured in the first place anyway he very nearly got away with this...Until Yukari distracted him. With her fist.

* [[Awesome McCoolname]]: According to the Shenanigoats threads, Tardboy and Torako name their daughter ''Chainsaw.''

* [[Ax Crazy]]: Stay away from Yukari. Seriously.

* [[Badass]]: While many characters certainly qualify Torako takes it over the top, annihilating hordes of ravenous zombies using only her bare hands in Season 2 and single-handedly taking on entire mech gangs in Season 3.

* [[Badass Family]]: The Takinos are all absurdly naturally talented mech pilots, with the exception of the father Tsuguhiko.

* [[Blood Is the New Black]]: Since Torako's preferred method of dealing with zombies in Season 2 was ''ripping them apart with her bare hands,'' pretty much every major fight scene invariably ended with her covered in blood. How she managed to avoid becoming infected with the zombie virus herself is anyone's guess.

** See also Season 3, when Shimauu got Sergeant Greene's blood all over herself.

** Though not a boy, Shimauu and Six could qualify as well.

* [[Breaking the Fourth Wall]]: Occasionally. Mainly by Wallaby and Asagi.

** Ran Kakizaki was a chronic masturbator who according to the discussion threads liked getting off in public bathrooms, and Amber Greene apparently knows Kagura, Sakaki, and Torako from downloading (and...ahem...''enjoying'') their sex tapes.

* [[Crapsack World]]: Japan in Season 3.

* [[Cupid Hates Odd Couples]]: Kokoro has a crush on Mark, which develops after he breaks up with Fuuka. When she sees just how much he still loves Fuuka, she plays a pivotal role in reuniting them.

* [[Curb Stomp Battle]]: Torako's first encounter with the Yotsuba Gang, and again when the Yanda Gang tried to capture Kagura to turn her over to the [[Big Bad]].

* [[Don't Split Us Up]]: In Season 2 at the outbreak of the zombie apocalypse, Tomo led her friends on a daring mission across town to rescue Torako at her school. Unfortunately Torako had the same idea, and was long gone by the time they got there.

* [[Downer Ending]]: Part seven of the third season ended with {{spoiler|Sakaki returning to patch things up with Kagura, only to find out she'd been killed in the big rescue mission}}.

** See also the fates of Haru and Karii (along with much of Alaska) at the start of Season 3.5.

* [[Drugs Are Bad]]: Some of the cast members, like Pyro and Heavy, have freaked out and wrecked the place because they got high. This could be attributed to the fact that Matsuda's home-grown pot is so strong that ingesting enough of it causes the hallucinations to become real. {{spoiler|In the words of Imaginary Billy Mays, "the pot so strong, it makes other people hallucinate!"}}

* [[Everybody Has Lots of Sex]], except for Yotsuba, and unfortunately Osaka....[[Overly Long Gag|and Chiyosuke, Ena, Miura, Elesia, Kokoro, Shimauu, Rinko, Rei...]]

* [[Evil Twin]]: Shin Chiyo, Fake Yomi and Doppelkeeper.

* [[Expy]]: Inevitable, considering many of the characters are represented by images from various anime and manga (And in some cases will have traits or abilities inspired by their origin).

* [[Extreme Doormat]]: Ran Kakizaki normally wouldn't hurt a fly and seemed incapable of speaking above a whisper, let alone raising her voice in anger. This only made it all the more disturbing when she threatened to straight-up ''murder'' Member 92 if he ever came near her or her sister again.

* [[Fan Service]]: Cha-ching!

* [[Fat Girl]]: Fuuka, by the start of Season 3.5.

* [[Flat What]]: Rachel lets out a good one of these when That Kid casually surfaces from and exits a, ahem, ''soiled'' pool... a good ten minutes after everyone else had left.

* [[Foot Popping]]: When Torako finally rescued Tardboy and freed him, the two share this moment. Tardboy was the one lifting his leg.

** Played with when characters know doing something is stupid, explicitly comment on it being stupid, and then do it anyway.

* [[Good People Have Good Sex]]

* [[Gundamjack]]: Kagura stole her mech out of the hangar of the Big Bad's walking battleship, and later the heroes take it up a notch by stealing the ship

itself.

** They seem to have improved by Season 3.5, though.

* [[The Immodest Orgasm]]: This seems to be the default setting for the majority of sexually active females in the cast.

** {{spoiler|Floaty could qualify after getting drilled through by Chiyosuke.}}

* [[Innocent Innuendo]]: When Jumbo overheard Fuuka and Shimauu trying to force a futon into a laundry machine, he immediately assumed they were having kinky lesbian sex.

** Fuuka has been having Jerkass tendencies more and more freqently as the story goes on. Mostly around Kokoro.

** Six seems to place people in two categories: Shimauu, and targets for abuse. And even Shimauu isn't exempt from his jerkass tendencies.

** Li Wei Yang seems to be giving her a run for her money in the bitch department.

* [[Kansai Regional Accent]]: Risu and Ayumu Kasuga, Kasumi Chiba, and the Greene sisters.

** And also starting in 3.5 both Elesia and Rei have feelings for Sasuke, though in Rei's case she's so sheltered and innocent that she doesn't fully realize it.

* [[Made of Explodium]]: Turtles, apparently.

* [[May-December Romance]]: Ryusuke is at least twelve years older than Nyamo.

** Saburo Motani, age 32, and his quasi-girlfriend Yoko Tsumura, age 21, also qualify.

** And as a particularly creepy example, Yukari's relationship with Kyoto; she's 29, and he was ''15.''

* [[Masculine Girl, Feminine Boy]]: Tardboy and Torako.

* [[Men Are the Expendable Gender]]: If only one of a character's parents are revealed to have survived the [[Zombie Apocalypse]], odds are overwhelmingly in favor of it being the mother. With the exception of Ryusuke, fathers seem to survive as a set with their wives or not at all.

* [[The Milky Way Is the Only Way]]: Averted; intergalactic distances seem to pose no problem at all to the most widely-used methods of [[Faster-Than-Light Travel]].

* [[Puny Earthlings]]: Both played straight with the damn-near-perfect Veluszhi and averted with most other sentient races encountered so far. For example the Mo'e-Mo'e develop much faster than humans and have much more efficient respiratory systems than we do, but that just also makes them more susceptible to certain airborne toxins and gasses and they only live an average of sixty years. That, and they're all under five feet tall. Meanwhile the Dhugarl come from a high-gravity world and as a result are much stronger, faster, and more resilient than we are, but their high metabolisms and inefficient digestive systems mean they tire quickly and need to frequently gorge themselves to avoid starvation. And then there's the Altarians, who for all intents and purposes ''are'' human.

* [[Random Encounters]]: Some random bouts of violence the heroes had fought in their adventures included, but won't be limited to, random demons (Season 1), hordes of decrepit non-descript zombies led by an overpowered super zombie and their undead queen (Season 2), an army of crazed furries led by a demonic deity trapped in a Kigurumi costume (Season 2), and random enemy mech patrols (Season 3).

* [[Reality Warper]]: 2nd is a minor version, usually.

* [[Relationship Upgrade]]: {{spoiler|Ryusuke's marriage proposal to Nyamo.}}

** According to comments in one of the discussion threads if other things hadn't come up he would have tried to do this ''again'' (possibly crossing the [[Moral Event Horizon]] in the process), by deflowering Rei as revenge on Ran for...Ryougi getting angry that he had taken advantage of her.

* [[Rubber Forehead Aliens]]: Several examples. The Mo'e-Mo'e resemble [[Pointy Ears|pointy-eared human children]], though there are significant anatomical differences below the neckline. The Kran look like ''adult'' pointy-eared humans, and are apparently anatomically similar enough for their females to have breasts, and the Dhugarls (with which the Kran share their homeworld and a common ancestor) seem to follow the same general plan with an added dash of [[Little Bit Beastly]].

* [[Save the Villain]]: When the JSDF soldiers attacking the Dai Kagurren surrender at the end of Season 3, Sergeant Greene rejects [[Obligatory War Crime Scene|Ryougi's suggestion that they just execute them]] and instead orders them loaded up and transported to safety rather than leaving them exposed to radioactive fallout from the nuclear warhead they'd just detonated in the upper atmosphere.

* [[Second Act Breakup]]: Fuuka cheats on Mark with Koiwai, and they break up. Later that same day, they get back together.

* [[Sesquipedalian Loquaciousness]]: Most characters once played by Passerby suffered from this at times.

* [[Sex Slave]]: [[Big Bad|The Boss]] was planning to turn Tardboy and Kagura into these, essentially forcing them to have sex on camera in order to sell more porn DVDs.

* [[Staying Alive]]: Barring zombiefication, Yukari has died about 4 times.

** Osaka {{spoiler|has died about twice so far. She was able to return after promising to save Chiyo-chan from her evil counterpart.}}

** Chiyo is now a member of this club, {{spoiler|because her soul WAS housed inside a doll while her body was still possessed by The Profound Darkness/Shin Chiyo. She's better now}}.

* [[Stealth Hi Bye]]: Asagi loves this trope.

** {{spoiler|Nor for Tardboy, though he's not likely to get another chance at it.}}

* [[Twincest]]: Tomo and Torako, much to most of the cast's disgust, including, very recently, their father's.

* [[Unbroken Vigil]]: {{spoiler|Tomo stayed at Torako's bedside almost the entire time she was in a coma, only leaving to use the toilet or when she was forcibly removed. Though it ended up only being a couple days, she swore that she'd never leave even if Torako didn't wake up for thirty years.}}

* [[We Can Rebuild Him]]: Yukari does this to Kyoto and ''herself'' by possessing a factory.
