Samurai Flamenco	comment	This page contains unmarked spoilers. You Have Been Warned!Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Samurai Flamenco is a Japanese anime television series by Manglobe. Directed by Takahiro Omori with Character Designs by Chinatsu Kurahana (of Uta No Prince Sama fame), it began airing October 10th, 2013 under Fuji TV's noitaminA timeslot.Walking home one night, off-duty policeman Hidenori Goto confronts an apparent pervert stripping in an alleyway. Introducing himself as male model Masayoshi Hazama, the man explains that he was actually changing out of his costume, as he is a would-be superhero called "Samurai Flamenco". Escorting Hazama home, Goto discovers how deep the model's fixation on both superheroes and justice runs despite his total lacking of superpowers.Despite his initial focus on fighting neighborhood misdemeanors such as unlawful smoking and umbrella theft, Hazama attracts publicity after a series of videos of his antics go viral. Joined shortly thereafter by a woman calling herself Flamenco Girl, Hazama soon finds himself tackling the recent crime wave sweeping Tokyo with a network of allies. And then the first arc ends by raising the bar significantly.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })The show is mostly a slice of life comedy, and an emotionally realistic, light-hearted Reconstruction of super hero tropes in general. Outside of that, the show can be considered an Affectionate Parody of both the Western Superhero and Eastern Toku genres, including blatant nods to series like Kamen Rider, The Avengers, and Super Sentai/Power Rangers.The anime series was licensed by Aniplex USA in North America, though low interest has kept it from getting a physical home release. It was later available for streaming on Crunchyroll, but the license expired in 2021. Compare Zebraman, a film with similar themes.Please move any character tropes to the Samurai Flamenco character page.

Samurai Flamenco / int_106f1a77	comment	A Form You Are Comfortable With: The second alien form Masayoshi encounters in episode 18 after defeating Alien Flamenco. When he asks about it, the alien tells him that he'd be more comfortable with a figure that he's familiar with, although the alien changes form several times during the conversation.

Samurai Flamenco / int_167bd2ca	comment	All According to Plan: Flamenco's continued victories against his monsters and the lack of casualties they cause is all apparently part of King Torture's plans. How this is, we're not sure of, but we are sure that he has it in for Flamenco—enough to have countless dummies of him that he can torture. And then in episode 10, we find out what the plan is: King Torture's monsters all had specialized cells in them that, on command, would turn into giant monsters, which in turn would merge with him to become Giant King Torture. On a meta level, as of episode 14, every Checkov's gun from the seemingly misleading promotional artworks have been fired

Samurai Flamenco / int_177a6464	comment	Genre Shift: THREE TIMES. It only seems to be a slice of life comedy for the first six episodes. At the end of episode seven, we get actual monsters and actual supervillains. Ones that actually kill people. But despite the vague Sci-Fi villains we still deal with a hero that is clearly using nothing but his powers as a human to triumph. This all changes in episode 11, when the series becomes full-out Super Sentai. And then, after things settle down with From Beyond and the Prime Minister, the tone shifts again in episode 19 when the show starts picking apart what kind of person Masayoshi is, how Goto became a cop in the first place, and the psychological scars that they have.

He later comes across an aspiring inventor who tells him outright that he'll get killed unless he has the right tools, and provides him with some custom made gadgetry. While more primitive than something you'd expect Batman to use, we're still treated to said inventor looking at the footage of Samurai Flamenco and his new weapons and becoming giddy at the thought of his tools actually being used to fight crime. A darker example in King Torture, who also loved Toku but eventually started to sympathize with the villains.

Let's Flamenco!" Moe is fond of using English phrases ("Ouch!", "Oh my God!") when surprised. Word of God is that she's a native English-speaker. Happens quite a bit in episode 18, with Alien Flamenco very frequently dipping into English for no real reason.

An American hero tries to warn Masayoshi that From Beyond was actually working for the government, and the Flamen Rangers were a threat to the government because they were too popular. As a result, they may not listen to the government and the Prime Minister cooked up a lie to make it seem like they were actually trying to take over the world.

Samurai Flamenco / int_323f135b	type	Sorting Algorithm of Evil
Samurai Flamenco / int_323f135b	comment	Sorting Algorithm of Evil: Brutally implemented starting in Episode 7, when Masayoshi suddenly graduates from catching drug dealers to fighting a giant ape with a guillotine in its stomach. This was the initial reveal of King Torture and the more traditionally tokusatsu elements of the series. Then, the defeat of King Torture merely gave way to the reveal of From Beyond, who gave King Torture his bizarrely futuristic technology. In-Universe, From Beyond is assumed by the heroes to function this way, leading to a brief panic at the number of years (an amount greater than the combined lifespan of the entire cast) it would take to defeat all of them at their current pace. As it turns out, From Beyond is actually a conglomerate organization rather than one with a strictly linear hierarchy. And even From Beyond was just an elaborate plot to help the Prime Minister, who quickly turns on the heroes after they defeat the evil organization. Oddly enough, after Alien Flamenco the threat dwindles down to a more personal level in the form of Haiji Sawada who only attacks Samurai Flamenco's friends and allies.

Samurai Flamenco / int_3ed23024	type	Surprisingly Realistic Outcome
Samurai Flamenco / int_3ed23024	comment	Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: There's no job-market for superheroes, and the only reason Masayoshi didn't get arrested by Goto for "defending" society from drunk jaywalkers is because he never got a punch in. However, things have yet to take a particularly tragic turn. The events of episode seven may mean a change to this. After Masayoshi and Samurai Flamenco start appearing on TV, a lot of people instantly suspect that the former is the latter's true identity, though part of that is from Masayoshi outing himself as a Samurai Flamenco fan before Samurai Flamenco was particularly popular. Flamenco Girl's fighting style, which would be cute and colorful in most Magical Girl narratives, is instead depicted in a realistic and brutal manner. During her debut, one of the thugs she attacks is visibly terrified of her after seeing her violently dispatch his comrades. When the first Toku-style Monster of the Week shows up, the show takes on a completely different area of realism. The monster murders several police officers effortlessly, and it doesn't wait for Masayoshi to finish his introduction before tossing him aside and nearly killing him, reminding people that often the monsters in superhero shows, when left unchecked by similarly superpowered heroes, are nigh unstoppable killing machines. Later on when more monsters show up they get increasingly more over-the-top and are near indistinguishable from the monsters of some of the hammier toku shows, lacking the menace the first monster had. This makes the public more apathetic towards the situation, similarly to many superhero shows when dealing with the subject. This gets turn on its head however when it turns out that the Monster of the Week was deliberately played up so that it would become a routine to the point of people being desensitized by it. When Mari directly challenges King Torture, he stops using ineffectual villains and actually manages to capture her, and he doesn't treat her the way you'd expect your typical dainty Damsel in Distress to be treated either. The final villain of the series is not the most grandiose, but he comes off as extremely frightening because he focuses on attempting to harm or even murder Samurai Flamenco's allies, and doing so in a very pragmatic fashion — like throwing them down a flight of stairs or pushing them into traffic.

Samurai Flamenco / int_3f7a958b	comment	Secret Test of Character: In episode 3, Joji Kaname comes out and publicly proclaims to be Samurai Flamenco. This obviously doesn't sit too well with Masayoshi despite being a fan of his earlier works, and he sends a challenge to the former. Joji goes out to meet him, and both declare they're the real Samurai Flamenco. Joji beats up Masayoshi slightly, and knowing he's physically outmatched, he does the only thing he knows to do, to try and get others to follow the rules and live righteously. He tells Joji that the latter is really Red Axe, and should stop pretending to be Samurai Flamenco. Joji tears up, and says that his masquerade was simply to bring out Samurai Flamenco's true potential. While Goto doesn't seem to buy it too much, it seems Joji wants to train him to live up to his name and increasing reputation. And after the credits roll, Joji is eating curry with them, and then mentions sparring with Masayoshi.

She's a mega-popular idol, far more popular and well known than Masayoshi, and the only thing hiding her face is a small mask, slightly larger than a pair of glasses, yet no one recognizes her. Even Masayoshi, sitting right next to her, doesn't realize it's her until she takes off the small mask, and he has seen her close up before, and spoke to her. The orang-ish wig she wears might help with this.

From episode 7 onward, the opening is more than fitting for the tone the series goes in. The ending animation goes the opposite direction; it's cutesy and somewhat Fanservice-y compared to the show itself, and showcases the girls from MMM.

After this, he changed his ways, and began to help others, which in turn inspired them to do the same. Masayoshi then realizes that his work wasn't for nothing.

Mari pleads with Moe to run, but the latter decides she'd rather die than live in a world without Mari in it, and tells King Torture wholeheartedly that she'll take her friend's place instead. Torture then frees Moe, and promises never to hurt her again. Then he tells Mari that he knew she secretly hoped Moe would sacrifice herself, and that she was a very selfish person because of it. Mari seems much more hurt by his comments than by the physical beating she endured, and she suffers a Heroic BSoD for the next few episodes as a result.

Then, episode 11 brings us to the introduction of the Flamengers with Kaname as the chief. Oh and this includes a transforming mecha. Episode 14 shows that Kaname actually asked help from other superheroes such as Harakiri Sunshine, The Brass Rangers etc. to fight against From Beyond. But the biggest surprise of all is that the leader of From Beyond, Beyond Flamenco, is actually Masayoshi's twin brother. Episode 15: Beyond Flamenco commits suicide, and a superhero from America named Mister Justice appears to warn Masayoshi that he was framed. He then tells him the Japanese government was behind From Beyond and has lied to the public as they arrest the Flamengers and everyone involved in the fight. Masayoshi is now on the Most Wanted list. Episode 17: Masayoshi and Goto confront the Prime Minister, only to reveal his Iron Man-esque superpowers. After defeating him with much difficulty, Mister Justice reappears, takes off his mask... revealing he was actually an alien all along, every other country has been taken by his species, and the Prime Minister was just gathering power to stand a chance against them. Episode 19: Goto's girlfriend had been missing since high school and the only way Goto recovered from that loss has been text messaging himself all the time while pretending it's from his girlfriend.

Samurai Flamenco gets a massive bounty placed on his head for his true identity, which leads to Masayoshi getting chased around the entire city by mobs of people. And again in Episode 16, But this time, Masayoshi is chased by the law, along with every other hero, after being falsely accused of staging From Beyond's attacks.

Masayoshi points out that if his manager finds out about this, she would be very angry. After episode three, Kaname Joji is another Secret Keeper. After episode four, it becomes zig-zagged with Flamenco Girl. And then in episode ten, the secret comes out.

About halfway through the episode, Masayoshi does some soul searching after finding out a little more about his past, where his parents were murdered, although he was too young to remember any of it, and Goto giving him a semi-cheering up message regarding what he's done so far for the city. Then when the police go to raid a drug house, one of the drug dealers turns into a giant gorilla with a guillotine in his mid-section, and violently decapitates at least one of the officers, and nearly kills Goto and Masayoshi in the process. Unsurprisingly, the audience was confused.

Samurai Flamenco / int_d22af219	comment	Played straight with Mari as Flamenco Girl or Flamenco Diamond, as she's later called. She's a mega-popular idol, far more popular and well known than Masayoshi, and the only thing hiding her face is a small mask, slightly larger than a pair of glasses, yet no one recognizes her. Even Masayoshi, sitting right next to her, doesn't realize it's her until she takes off the small mask, and he has seen her close up before, and spoke to her. The orang-ish wig she wears might help with this.

In episode 10 he's captured both her and Moe and Mari says she's risking her life out there. He then plays her interview from episode 9 back to her, where she treats her superhero alter ego like a game. After Moe says some things to King Torture, he squeezes her pinky with a pair of pliers to the point it bleeds, then offers her a choice. She can take Mari's place and allow him to crush her entire body like he did with her finger, or she can free herself. Mari tells Moe to flee, but Moe says wholeheartedly that she would gladly take Mari's place. He then calls Mari out on her hypocrisy, and frees Moe because of her readiness to lay down her life for her friend, while revealing Mari secretly wanted to save herself at the expense of Moe's life. This revelation stings Mari pretty harshly.

However, the first episode reveals a much more slice of life style anime with enough ship teasing and unintentional homoerotic subtext to convince some viewers that it was going swerve right into the yaoi genre. From episode 7 onward, the opening is more than fitting for the tone the series goes in.

The Brass Rangers and Money Rangers are obvious Expies of the Super Sentai and Power Rangers franchises. Kaname Joji is essentially an exaggerated Hiroshi Fujioka in cel form, complete with doing stunts himself and samurai status (Joji being called "a modern samurai", while Fujioka is a self-proclaimed samurai with a dojo and all). There are also hints of Kenji Ohba and Hiroshi Miyauchi sprinkled around. According to creator interviews, the members of MMM were based on Perfume. For comic book readers, this anime seems to be inspired by Kick-Ass.
