| Jubei-chan | comment |
300 years ago, Yagyu Jubei was the greatest swordsman Japan had ever seen. His feats were legendary. But eventually he started getting old, and he didn't have an heir. Despite his style of swordsmanship being the standard, nobody quite did it correctly. He didn't want his technique to be lost, so he somehow bound it up into an eyepatch shaped like a heart. He sent his most trusted servant to find the one who would be able to access the eyepatch — he would know them by their "plump bouncy bon bons." The servant, Odago Koinosuke, left on the geas that he would find the next Jubei if it took the rest of his life, and beyond.Unfortunately, the original Jubei's fame did not come without a price. The Yagyu family crushed all other schools of swordsmanship and slaughtered any who continued to resist. Jubei himself died in a battle with the teacher of the last school to fall, Ryujouji Daigo.The Ryujouji clan and school swore an oath, that they would never forget what was done to them, and they and their descendants would wipe out anyone who would take up the name of Jubei. Not even death would stop this pledge.300 years later.....Enter Jiyu Nanohana, an Ordinary High-School Student...yeah. She's rather happy with her widower father, Sai, and her friends at school. She even has a cute nickname, Jiyu-bei. ...say it fast and it sounds like "Jubei." Isn't that funny?This changes when she's approached by a rather strange looking guy in antique clothing, who says that she is the Chosen One, and if she would please accept this Lovely Eyepatch?And thus, she becomes Jubei-chan, the second incarnation of Yagyu Jubei! Pity there isn't any evil around. Oh, wait. The Ryujouji School has been waiting for 300 years for this little bit of payback.Obviously, Jiyu wants nothing to do with it. It's a circular problem. But the Ryujoujis won't listen. Also, their grudge is so powerful that it infects their souls. In order to save them, Jiyu finds a way to modify the Jubei technique, and make a sword technique that cuts the hate and undeath out of their very spirits. Those cut are freed to assimilate into the modern day and forget the past.Nevertheless, can she take on the entire Ryujouji Clan and still be Jiyu, or will she get caught up in the bloodshed that occured 300 years ago?Jubei-chan is an original anime directed by Akitaro Daichi (Fruits Basket, Kodocha, Carried by the Wind: Tsukikage Ran) which originally aired in 1999 for 13 episodes. It was later followed by a second season, Jubei-chan: Revenge of the Siberian Yagyu, which aired in 2004. In it, another dead clan, this time a splinter group of the Yagyuus, want revenge on Jubei. They are overshadowed, however, by another Jubei-chan! This one, Freesia Yagyu, is the biological daughter of Yagyuu Jubei, preserved for 300 years by being frozen in a glacier. She's very upset that her father's inheritance has gone to another girl — and she wants it back. She becomes simultaneously Jiyu's manipulative best friend and Jubei-chan's worst enemy; she knows who Jiyu is. Jiyu doesn't know who she is. The second season has, arguably, some of the greatest sword battles in all of anime. | |

All Men Are Perverts | |
| Jubei-chan / int_129749df | comment |
All Men Are Perverts: Every single man who meets Jiyu falls in love with her as soon as they see her breasts. Only her own father is immune for obvious reasons, though this doesn't stop him for being mistaken for being a pervert every so often. The exception is Mikage's husband, Mick, who instead fell in love with Jiyu's friend at first sight. | |

Sai clearly loves his daughter, but fails to maintain a good work-life balance. His wife died of a high fever while he was at work and Jiyu witnessed this, which she has hidden resentment for that comes out in season 2. He ends up hurting Jiyu after being manipulated by Freesia, causing her to enter a Heroic BSoD where she confuses Mikage for her mother Makoto and wants to leave with her. | |

Parents as People: Sai clearly loves his daughter, but fails to maintain a good work-life balance. His wife died of a high fever while he was at work and Jiyu witnessed this, which she has hidden resentment for that comes out in season 2. He ends up hurting Jiyu after being manipulated by Freesia, causing her to enter a Heroic BSoD where she confuses Mikage for her mother Makoto and wants to leave with her. Koinosuke similarly loved Ayunosuke, but allowed his devotion to finding Yagyu Jubei's successor to abandon her and inadvertently destroys his child's life by passing his responsibility on to Ayunosuke should he fail, which leaves her unable to age past being a young child and barely able to speak o socialize with others. Jiyu is horrified that her friend could do something so heartless and bonds with Ayunosuke despite still wanting nothing to do with the Lovely Eyepatch. | |

Disappears into Light: Any spirit that lets go of their obsession without being cut by Jiyu. Koinosuke in the first season, most of the Siberian Yagyu clan except for Nizaemon and Kita . Doesn't happen to Koinosuke in the manga, because he was holding the BigBad down for Jiyu to stab them both, which resurrected him. | |

Death of a Child | |
| Jubei-chan / int_269e82c1 | comment |
Death of a Child: Ayunosuke turns into stone from Jiyu accidentally giving her a Breaking Speech and refusing the Lovely Eyepatch. This is eventually reversed, but the death scene is played very straight and it takes a few episodes to undo. Later, she seemingly dies again after her father's spirit comes to bring her to the afterlife, but she returns to Earth to be with Jiyu in the end. | |

Fusion Dance: Freesia and Jiyu fuse together in the last episode using The Power of Friendship, which somehow either turns them into or summons the Original 300-years-dead Yagyu Jubei. (The initial result was just a fused successor, given the boobs; Jiyu and Freesia are left on the ground, untransformed, once the original Jubei appears.) | |

| Jubei-chan / int_309b8806 | comment |
Cursed with Awesome: Zigzagged. Jiyu treats the Lovely Eyepatch as an unwanted curse and continuously tries to discard it. Said Eyepatch transforms her into the powerful Jubei II and grants her near-unbeatable swordsman abilities. However, the Eyepatch also gives her a magical fever if she wears it too long and Jiyu specifically says the transformation is like being on her period. | |

Bittersweet Ending: Season 1 ends with Jiyu defeating Taiko Daiyu and ending the grudge of the Ryujouji Clan. Jiyu finally gets up have a normal life again, but Koinosuke is basically dead and leaves her grieving for him. Subverted in Season 2. Jiyu befriends Freesia and purifies the Northern Yagyu clan, but Ayunosuke seemingly dies after being reunited with her father, which greatly upsets Jiyu. Freesia also is never able to speak to her father and get closure, as she gets tongue-tied before he passes on. However, Ayunosuke is shown to have survived and is adopted by Jiyu in the show's final moments. | |

Meaningful Name | |
| Jubei-chan / int_6bda9a30 | comment |
Meaningful Name: Not only does "Jiyu-bei" shorten to "Jubei", but Jiyu's name herself is a Japanese word meaning "Spiritual Freedom." IE, what she gives to the lost souls. It's also worth noting that Jiyu's mother was named "Makoto," which can be translated to "Truth," particularly since in Season Two, Freesia's mother is named "Trusia," furthering the parallel between both Yagyu descendants. | |

Arc Words | |

Arc Words: "Nisemono" from the second series, translated as either "imposter"note Freesia's term for Jubei-chan or "fake". The importance starts to appear in the episode "Peaceful in a Fake Family", where it becomes clear that Jiyu, Freesia, Mikage, and Sai are all hiding secrets from each other while trying to be a surrogate family. Later still, Freesia manages to provoke Sai into slapping Jiyu by claiming that she said her father's work was fake. When Jiyu eventually recovers from the Heroic BSoD provoked by this, she shows her character development by declaring that both she and Freesia are truly the successors of Yagyu Jubei — so neither of them is an imposter. | |

Art Shift: Used continuously, and even for dramatic purposes — e.g. when the Plucky Comic Relief gets serious. In the second season each leading member of the Siberian Yagyu Clan is animated in a different style — one is in the show's normal style, one is in 3D CGI, one's drawn Super-Deformed using Thick-Line Animation, etc. This gets lampshaded by the Ruffian squad, who fall victim to an art shift and become crude line drawings during a single scene by virtue of the plot moving away from them. | |

Older Alter Ego | |
| Jubei-chan / int_bd275786 | comment |
Older Alter Ego / Sexier Alter Ego: When 14-year-old Jiyu transforms she grows taller and more womanly. Later Shiro gets one of these when he’s possessed by Taiko Daiyu. In season 2, Freesia similarly transforms from a teenager to an adult woman. | |

Ugly Guy, Hot Wife: Battle Couple Tenryo and Mikage are a decidedly odd-looking couple. Despite that they seem to be Happily Married. Gender inverted with Shiro and Hajime’s parents. Their father is handsome and their mother is ugly. | |

Ninja | |
| Jubei-chan / int_c37813c5 | comment |
Ninja: Note, despite the English Market Based Subtitle of "Ninja Girl", Jubei isn't; she's a "Swordswoman". The only character who is referred to as a "Ninja" would be Mikagenote And that guy with the Mickey Mouse hair and his minions from the first season, but who cares about them. Freesia wears a face mask so she may count as a ninja visually, though her fighting style (being a swordswoman like Jubei) obviously doesn't. | |

Dumbass No More: The Monkey Brothers, who go from adoring Bantarou but snarking at him to Ditzy Genius levels over the time skip between seasons 1 and 2, displaying Hidden Depths in the form of wanting to pursue higher education and learning multiple languages over the course of a year. They are still comedic, but become even snarkier and less willing to go along with Bantarou's antics, frequently mocking him. | |

Heroic Willpower | |
| Jubei-chan / int_c696f3ba | comment |
The show runs entirely off of the power of Heroic Willpower. Many characters live for hundreds of years simply to fulfill their oaths or avenge their clans. The Lovely Eyepatches are similarly powered by heroic willpower, as Freesia's is a simple wood carving until she prays for her father to give her the strength to challenge the "fake" Jubei-Chan. | |

Shout-Out: In season one, one of Jiyu's challengers is a crayon scribble named Tenchi Muyonosuke. Also a Take That!: Tenchi is short, ugly, with a nose that constantly drips snot and thick glasses, a voice like nails scraping across a blackboard, all the charming personality of a rabid wolverine, and is drawn in the style of a child's scrawl. | |

Training from Hell: Parodied in the first series. Koinosuke decides that Jiyu needs to learn how to function with one eye when she's in Jubei-chan mode, and so locks her in a one-eyed helmet that looks horrifyingly like a pink urinal. Hilarity Ensues. | |

Intimate Healing | |
| Jubei-chan / int_da2f3716 | comment |
Intimate Healing: When Jiyu is unconscious with an extremely high fever after Shiro cuts the Lovely Eyepatch off her face, Sai tries to cool her down by stripping her and himself both naked, dousing himself with cold water, and lying on top of her. This results in many painful burns for him. Sai uses this trope again when treating an injured Mikage. She is stabbed in the chest and he has to remove her shirt to bandage her. In season 2 Ayunosuke gives an injured Jubei a full mud bath remedy, which also involves having to strip her and press mud on her body. | |

Running Gag: Characters are constantly getting lost in the bamboo forest. Maro trying to take Jiyu and Sachi out to a dessert shop in town, only to be foiled by either Jiyu's other life interfering or by the store being closed for no apparent reason. Sai immediately slapping Bantarou or Shiro down if they try calling him "Papa", "Dad", "Otousan", or anything similar, often with a literal slap. Shiro's mother has the same reaction to people other than him calling her "mama". | |
