Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Hisone Amakasu has always been a little too honest. Fresh out of high school, she decides to join the Japanese Air Self-Defense Force in hopes of distancing herself from others, keeping them away from her sharp tongue. But of course, this position comes with its own problems, such as sudden errands assigned to her by her superior, or the gigantic dragon in the hangar that decides to eat her.As Hisone's commander helpfully explains (after she's been safely puked out), that dragon is actually an "Organic Transformed Flyer," one of a race of legendary dragons who have only allied themselves to a select few groups of humans. The strength of the dragons have made them targets by other humans, so their human allies have disguised them throughout history, and presently, Japan's dragons are being disguised as fighter planes in the JASDF, who fight alongside specially selected "D-Pilots." And Hisone has just been selected.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Hisone and Masotan is a 12 episode Spring 2018 original anime produced by Studio Bones. It is directed by Hiroshi Kobayashi (Kiznaiver) and written by Mari Okada (Ano Hana, The Anthem of the Heart), with Shinji Higuchi (Shin Godzilla) acting as executive director. Toshinao Aoki is responsible for the original character designs, Yoshiyuki Ito serves as the animation character designer, and Taisei Iwasaki is serving as composer.The series has been picked up by Netflix as an 'Original' and released worldwide on September 21, 2018. Their English page gives it the Market-Based Title "Dragon Pilot: Hisone and Masotan."Needs More Love really badly.

comment
Rant-Inducing Slight: When Hisone backs out of flying Masotan at the last moment, Kakiyasu tells her if she felt like that she should have spoken up sooner. This sets Hisone off, starting with pointing out that, as a matter of fact, she did speak up fifteen times before and was summarily ignored. She then goes on to compare Nao to a grade schooler, complete with attitude, and finishes off with the fact she likes orange yogurt, not the strawberry she was given.

Brutal Honesty: Hisone readily admits to this being her biggest flaw, to the point that she chose her career with the JASDF because she knew she'd have less opportunities to interact with other people and hurt them with her words. She ends up getting a taste of her own medicine when she meets Natume.

Love Chart: Unusually, one of these appears in-universe when Akishima, the self-proclaimed "love expert," diagrams the entire cast's Love Dodecahedron as part of the plan to ensure none of the D-Pilots fall in love with anyone. Parodied when she determines—wrongly—that none of them have any potential love interests.

Interspecies Friendship: All of the D-Pilots have a strong bond with their respective dragons. This is actually a requirement, because the dragons can only be piloted by humans who are completely devoted to them; anyone else is incompatible.

Book-Ends: The prologue sees Hisone in a high school classroom filling out a career survey, where she decides to enlist in the JASDF. The epilogue begins in a classroom where the miko are trying to decide their future careers, with Natsume choosing to become a florist. The chalkboard message in both scenes is identical, in fact. In Masotan's first on-screen appearance, he suddenly appears behind Hisone, much to her surprise, then swallows her whole. In his last appearance during the epilogue, Masotan suddenly comes charging down the mountain at Okonogi, much to his surprise, then swallows him whole.

The Conspiracy
 Hisone and Masotan / int_5b8c285b
comment
The Conspiracy: Administrative Vice-Minister Iiboshi, the higher-ups of the Gifu base and the Japanese Cabinet are a part of a conspiracy to perform an unknown, extremely important and obscenely expensive (148.5 billion yen) Ritual with the dragons and their pilots: The exercise on the uninhabited island (a training site for OTF pilots) was done to, according to Iiboshi, recover the memories of the dragons and strengthen the bonds of the dragons with their pilots and the pilots also must, according to Iiboshi, have an personality profile he called "White Lover": Girls with no self-confidence and a "blank heart" that is devoted to her OTF and to her OTF alone. If she would develop love for someone else, such as an lover or a child (Hisone's predecessor as pilot did the former (fell in love with a man) and the latter (got pregnant) and was rejected by her dragon), her dragon would reject her as a pilot. Iiboshi had Liliko spy on the others and tried to disrupt romances such as the one between Hisone and Haruto to cause heart-break and the strengthening of the "White Lover" personality. In episode #8, further details are revealed: The Ritual is supposed to guide a giant dragon called Mitatsu-sama to a "throne". The Ritual will continue for 3 days and 4 nights, so the pilots would have to pilot their dragons even while asleep. Actually, the "uninhabited island" they were training on IS Mitatsu-sama and awakens every 74 years. If not steered to the "throne" by the dragons and their pilots, it will go off-course and lay waste to the unlucky lands it comes by.

"Blind Idiot" Translation: The Latin American Spanish dub suffers of this quite a bit, due of the translator's likely ignorance on military terminology: Kakiyasu is addressed in Spanish as Jefe de Escuadrilla (Squadron Leader). While technically the name is correct, due to likely to either the translator used the same script used for the European Spanish dub or also because the translator maybe assumed the Latin American dub would be used there, the term "escuadrilla" is used almost exclusively in Spain, while Latin America uses "escuadrón" instead. The Latin American Spanish name of the series suffers of this, as it was named as Pilotos de Dragon: Hisone & Masotannote Pilots of the Dragon: Hisone & Masotan. Since the name is written in plural tense (assuming, of course, it was refering to Hisone exclusively), the correct translation should be "Pilotos de Dragones " instead, or "La Piloto del Dragon" when talking about both Hisone and Masotan.

comment
Improbably Female Cast: Downplayed; all "D-Pilots" are women and no one really has an explanation for this, since they have only a vague understanding of how the dragons choose their partners. However, aside from the "D-Pilots", most of the characters at the airbase are male, which is keeping in line with how it would be in real life.

comment
Not So Different: Hisone's original idea for Masotan's name turns out to be similar to Eru's name for her dragon, despite their very different personalities. They both re-interpreted one of the dragon's official labels: Hisone took "OTF" and morphed it into "Otofu," while Eru took "F-2" as "Futsuu," translated to English as "Normal" and shortened it to "Norma."

The Dog Was the Mastermind: Sort of inverted; there's clearly something suspicious about the old lady who wanders around distributing snack food, and her importance is foreshadowed, but no one could have guessed that she's actually the last surviving pilot from the previous Ritual 74 years ago. This reveal happens almost simultaneously with the reveal that the Ritual happens cyclically.

comment
Getting Eaten Is Harmless: As long as the D-Pilots are wearing their high-tech headpieces and acid-resistant suits, they can be inside their dragon's stomach for several hours (or even days or months) and not experience any ill effects, unless anastomosis occurs. And this was completely subverted in some instances where the dragons were stressed by the pilot in some way, too; Anastomosis could simply be considered an extreme level of pilot-related stress.

Human Sacrifice: According to Sada, one of the miko has to be sacrificed to Mitatsu-sama to complete The Ritual. Subverted, though, as it turns out this isn't strictly necessary, it's just more dangerous to attempt "sleep-turning" Mitatsu-sama without a sacrifice.

Shoe Slap
 Hisone and Masotan / int_c66de6b8
comment
Shoe Slap: Nao threw her army boot at Hisone to show her disapproval of her attempt to have "Masotan" accept her as a pilot. Later, Masotan threw the same shoe at Hisone (although not as hard as Nao did) to show his disapproval of her attitude towards piloting him (so in this case, it may also count as a Bright Slap).

Shout-Out
 Hisone and Masotan / int_c75df49a
comment
Shout-Out: Hisone takes the severed head of the pilot puppet she made with her to the uninhabited training island and starts a conversation with it, just like Chuck in Cast Away does with a volleyball. Complete with Hisone screaming "Nao-san"'s name in tears when it drifts away during a storm. Rule of Funny applies heavily here since, of course, Chuck did this because he was alone and needed someone/thing to talk to so he wouldn't go crazy, while Hisone had three people and four dragons to keep her company.

Eat the Camera: Both Masotan and Norma do this when they swallow Hisone and El, respectively, for the first time (with the latter happening during a flashback).

Nightmare Face: Masotan normally is normally as cute as can be, but when under the influence of anastomosis, he gets Hypnotic Eyes - and suddenly reveals that underneath the cute exterior he's still a dragon with a whole lot of razor sharp teeth.

I Know Your True Name
 Hisone and Masotan / int_d3b02ffb
comment
I Know Your True Name: Hisone is the only D-Pilot to call her dragon by its real name instead of a nickname—she found it on a mysterious plaque in its stomach—and comments from Iiboshi imply that this makes her particularly important. This is probably why her TAC-name is her real first name, also unlike all other pilots. The significance of this is ultimately left unexplained, although Hisone does bring about the first completion of the Ritual without the traditional sacrifice, and survives this risky strategy due to her unique bond with Masotan.

Our Dragons Are Different
 Hisone and Masotan / int_d88e125e
comment
Our Dragons Are Different: In this universe, they've lived among humans throughout history and have had to be disguised to keep safe from those seeking their power. In the case of modern-day Japan, not only can they be disguised as fighter jets, but they can also be "flown" just like a plane by pilots who ride in their stomachs.

comment
No Antagonist: There is no explicit villain in this story. The focus is put on the D-Pilots' relationships with their OTFs and whether or not they're willing to dedicate themselves entirely to the Dragons, even at the cost of their other relationships. While Iiboshi seems like the closest thing to a human antagonist he has very good reasons to want the D-Pilots to do their job thoroughly, as the safety of Japan depends on it.

Clingy Jealous Girl: Natsume, one of the miko involved with the Ritual, is this towards Okonogi; she literally clings to him when possible, and is openly jealous of his apparent feelings for Hisone.

Swallowed Whole: A D-Pilot can only fly a dragon from within its stomach, meaning it has to eat the pilot first. In addition, a dragon will only swallow someone whom it deems to be acceptable as a pilot in the first place (with the possible exception of Okonogi, who gets swallowed in the epilogue).
