K.O. Beast (Known in Japan as KO世紀ビースト三�士 or K.O. Century Beast Musketeers) is an anime series created by Satoru Akahori, creator of Saber Marionette J, with character designs by Takehito Ito, of Lamune & 40, Ryu Knight, & Outlaw Star fame.The series started as a three episode Original Video Animation, which was followed by a four episode sequel.Thousands of years in the future, the earth is split in two. While the southern hemisphere, ruled by Czar Master, is in another dimension, the northern hemisphere is populated by tribes of humanoids who can morph into anthropomorphized beasts.Escaping from their human captors, Wan Derbard of the Tiger tribe, Bud Mint of the Bird tribe and Mei Mer of the Mermaid tribe, along with Tuttle Millen from Mei Mer's tribe and a little girl named Yuuni Password, whose scientist grandfather wanted her safely away, seek a mysterious treasure called Gaia. Our companions have with them the Jinns, three statues-cum-machines that combine to form a Humongous Mecha.Hot on their heels are Czar Master's servants V-Darn and V-Sion as well as V-Darn's imp like companion Akumako.The English version is something of a Gag Dub: the voice cast added some Pokémon references. The series was released in America by Nozomi Entertainment. | |

| K.O. Beast / int_14a44e40 | comment |
Totem Pole Trench: The one-off character Don from the start of the second series appears to be a giant Pig Man, but is pulling this trope by standing on his son's shoulders and wearing a concealing mantle. The disguise is as paper-thin as traditionally expected for a comedy, but none of the other characters realize until after Don is apparently blown in half during a fight between the Beasts and V-Darn. | |

First Church of Mecha | |
| K.O. Beast / int_24383e9b | comment |
First Church of Mecha: The Jinn, statues worshiped by the various Beast tribes, are actually mecha (Humongous or otherwise) left behind by ancient Humanity. Wan, Mei, and Bud were kidnapped because the Jinn of their villages had a unique link to Gaia. V-Darn and V-Sion are able to awaken other sleeping Jinn in the Northern Hemisphere to fight against the Beasts, and Czar Master is able to create new mecha as well. | |

| K.O. Beast / int_2847a9f9 | comment |
Mother Nature, Father Science: Plays a role in the Myth Arc. Gaia is revealed as one of two Master Computers created to control the Northern and Southern hemispheres of the Earth That Was. While Gaia encouraged her people to live In Harmony with Nature and set them on the path to become the Beast tribes, the other computer, Uranus, turned his side into a dystopian Eternal Engine. The world was split in half because of the war between the two, and the goal of Uranus, in the guise of the Human leader Czar Master, is to finally wipe out Gaia and take over the rest of the planet. | |

Involuntary Shapeshifting: Each of the three main Beast Musketeers will transform when exposed to a unique trigger. Wan changes when he sneezes, Bud when he gets goosebumps (usually from Wan licking his face or just kissing him), and Mei gets wet or cries (for example, when she eats something spicy). | |

Literal Metaphor | |
| K.O. Beast / int_8cf6aa | comment |
Literal Metaphor: The OP of the first series talks about tears turning into pearls and the world getting split in two. This seems at first like the sort of metaphor usually featured in anime theme songs. But later on, it is revealed that Mei Mer's tears really do turn into pearls (it's even a minor plot point), and the world really was split in two (which is a major plot point). | |

Samus Is a Girl: S.P. Icegal. Beyond that, she is actually the original Yuuni Charm Password, Reforged into a Minion by Czar Master. This is spoiled just a bit by the American dub (and subtitles) renaming her. "C. Siegal" is a Germanic-sounding name that could be believably taken as male. "S.P. Icegal," not so much. | |

The Beasts and Icegal are fighting over Yuuni; V-Darn and V-Sion have their resentments against the other two groups boil over. After a fight scene with increasing amounts of friendly fire, it ends with a Mexican Standoff hostage situation broken up by Akumako losing control and trying to kill them all. | |

Dub Name Change | |
| K.O. Beast / int_e2c4b927 | comment |
Dub Name Change: The English adaptation tweaked several character's names to adapt the Punny Names. For example, Wan Dabada became Wan Derbard, Mekka Mannen was changed to Tuttle Millen, and C-Siegel became S.P. Icegal. The change from Mei Mah to Mei Mer borders on Inconsistent Spelling or Viewer Name Confusion. | |
