In a World… where beastmen are the dominant species and normal humans are treated like second-class citizens (or worse), a girl named Morte claims to want to destroy this world. Wielding a large weapon in one hand and a sphere called the "Destruct Code" in another, she is the leader of the one-person "World Destruction Committee." Reluctantly joining her in this quest are a human boy named Kyrie who used fake cat-ears to get a job until Morte accidentally revealed his identity, and a short bear named Toppy.However, the beastmen have their own "World Salvation Committee," an armed group which seeks to capture or kill Morte before she can figure out how to unlock the Destruct Code.Originally a Nintendo DS game that received an Animated Adaptation. | |

Suggestive Collision | |
| Sands of Destruction / int_25a7dcb9 | comment |
Suggestive Collision: In episode seven, Taupy angrily shoves off Kyrie's hand, causing him to lose his balance and fall on Morte. She isn't amused, and he's just afraid she's gonna hit him. In the opening, Morte drags Kyrie along by his collar and drops him on top of Rhi'a. She slaps him, of course. | |

Verbal Tic: Taupy ends most of his sentences with the word 'kuma' (and he really wants to get rid of it). When asked by Kyrie and Morte to stop, he says that he can't do it because it's an important part of his tribe's culture. His rival Yappi ends his sentences with the word 'bear'. | |

Cooldown Hug: In the final episode, the Destruct Code activates and Morte has to do this to stop Kyrie from destroying the world. It's implied it was a cooldown kiss. Considering everyone else who got close enough to touch him turned to sand, she's lucky he has better control of his powers in this adaptation. | |

Create Your Own Villain | |
| Sands of Destruction / int_326a44a1 | comment |
Create Your Own Villain: The Ferals are directly responsible for Morte seeking to destroy the whole world in order to end their reign: she was perfectly content until they wiped out her family. After that, she made it her personal mission to end the world. Considering they have several members of the World Salvation Committee tasked solely with finding her, she's obviously quite the thorn in their side. Compounding this is the fact that most Ferals don't seem to think much about killing anyone who opposes them, meaning those who actually did the killing are probably completely unaware they're the ones who set her off. | |

Out of Focus | |
| Sands of Destruction / int_32da91b8 | comment |
Out of Focus: Both Naja and Agan compared to in the other versions of the story. Whereas Naja receives enough plot focus away from the rest of the main party in both the manga and video game that he could be called the Deuteragonist of them in his own right, here he's little more than Rhi'a's more reserved and calculating partner, and his background, a major part of both his character and the overall narrative in other adaptations, is only alluded to briefly. Agan has it even worse, going from one of the main characters to a bonafide supporting player who only shows up occasionally. | |

Adapted Out: In the video game, Taupy has a wife/live-in girlfriend named Muffy who occasionally speaks to the team when you drop by his house. Here she shows up in a flashback as someone Taupy once unsuccessfully hit on. The Primal Lords are completely skipped and never mentioned, despite the fact that the game made it clear that they are necessary for the world to survive (thus killing them would be a good way to destroy the world, or at least hasten its end) and that they are part of the key to the Destruct Code's power. | |

| Sands of Destruction / int_356b1efb | comment |
Hammerspace: Actually averted. While the original video game had Morte pulling her BFS out of nowhere, here she's shown to always be carrying it wrapped up in cloth using a leather strap. If she isn't currently holding it, it's likely somewhere nearby, leaning against a convenient wall or tree; she never simply produces it from thin air and then has it vanish after the fight. | |

Artifact of Doom | |
| Sands of Destruction / int_3b5fcbb7 | comment |
Artifact of Doom: Morte carries around with her a little black sphere called the Destruct Code, which supposedly has the ability to destroy the world. However, she has no idea how to use it though it seems to react to Kyrie. Those who have played the game know that Kyrie is the actual "Destruct Code". The sphere is actually a device that Kyrie had used to store his memories (see The Fog of Ages). | |

Pensieve Flashback: While trapped in the Cave of Memories, Morte dreams of when her brother told her he was leaving to join the Golden Lions and screams at her younger self to not let him go because he'll be killed; naturally, the memory doesn't hear her and simply plays out the way it originally happened. A later dream averts this, as she actually becomes her (even younger) self and is able to interact with the other characters in her dream. | |

Late-Arrival Spoiler: The opening sequence shows a brief clip of Awakened Kyrie, though it's very short and if you haven't played the game, you may mistake it for sunset lighting just making his hair look red. Morte's precise reason for wanting to end the world isn't explored until fairly late in the anime, but the back of the DVD case spells it out quite plainly. | |

Spared by the Adaptation: Elephas Rex came to oppose the World Destruction Committee in the game, mostly just to add in another boss battle. Here he remains a largely-neutral ally and thus remains alive. Kyrie also doesn't try to sacrifice himself to save the world, and thus doesn't need to be resurrected. | |

The Nose Knows: Averted: while other adaptations have Ferals commenting that humans and half-humans smell terrible, here Kyrie and Morte are able to pass as a cat and rabbit, respectively, with only an Animal-Eared Headband. Nobody comments that they stink. | |

Animal Disguise | |
| Sands of Destruction / int_7d2fb440 | comment |
Animal Disguise: Kyrie is wearing a humanoid cat disguise when Morte finds him waiting tables at a restaurant. This is for practical purposes as humans are second class citizens compared to beastmen and the disguise allows Kyrie to get employment at a better establishment. It also keeps the more feral predatory beastmen from trying to eat him. | |

Tsundere: Because Morte isn't Ax-Crazy as she is in the video game or manga, she would fit this trope more. Type A around everyone. Morte is more of a Jerk with a Heart of Gold; she doesn't have any love interests (note that when she thinks Kyrie is propositioning her, she just gets mad). Rhi'a is a better example, and is type A towards Kyrie. | |

The Anime of the Game | |
| Sands of Destruction / int_835d63a4 | comment |
The Anime of the Game: An unusual variation in which the game was conceived first, but midway though, it was decided that an anime would be a good way to promote the game, so a second team was split off to produce it and it aired shortly before the game's release, despite being created later. This is a possible reason it's such an Alternate Continuity: if each team was only given a rough starting point and then allowed to develop in their own way, things would naturally take very different shapes if they didn't keep in close contact. | |

Villain Protagonist: The three members of the World Annihilation Front, though Kyrie and Toppi are just along for the ride. It's worth noting that this a rare case where the "villainous" protagonists are absolutely right. Yes, they want to destroy the world, but its made clear throughout the game that its such a horrifyingly bleak Death World that destruction or recreation really is the best option. | |

There Are No Therapists: The entire plot might have been averted if someone had realized that a teenage girl who loses her entire family might develop a crazy homicidal streak if left to her own devices. Of course, it's somewhat unclear exactly what level society is at (though most technology seems fairly modern), so it's possible that therapy just hasn't been invented - or that the show is loosely based on Japan, where seeing a therapist is still rather taboo. | |

Exposed to the Elements: Averted by the World Destruction Committee when they visit the Winter Continent; Morte and Kyrie buy coats from Agan so they won't freeze, and Taupy claims he'll be fine because he's a bear.

Mood Whiplash | |
| Sands of Destruction / int_a4c37cbe | comment |
Mood Whiplash: A little less inconsistent on the mood, but it still has moments where transitions start to jump without notice. This is unfortunately a side-effect of attempting to deconstruct Fantastic Racism while having a light-hearted premise and attempting to attract a younger crowd. The early prison escape, for example, is able to keep a firm Darker and Edgier mood while toning down the Lighter and Softer. The episodes that contain the "Cave of Memories", however, are pure Mood Whiplash. | |

Mayfly–December Romance: Kyrie, the Destruct Code, has been alive since the creation of the world and still looks barely past puberty. The human girl he develops feelings for is apparently very normal in regards to her expected lifespan. However, this isn't commented on. It's possible that Kyrie lost his immortality when the Destruct Code broke in the final episode, meaning he'd age along with her like a normal human. | |

Maybe Ever After: While there has been little in the way of deliberate flirting or outright interest beyond friendly ompanionship shown over most of the series, in the final episode, Morte and Kyrie share an Almost Kiss that may have been The Big Damn Kissnote the camera was too far away to tell if their faces were touching or simply very, very close, followed by a very happy embrace. When they realize others are watching, they suddenly jump apart and are self-conscious they were touching each other, something they'd never been before. | |

Wrecked Weapon: Morte's sword is seen standing upright in the sand with the top broken off in the final episode. It's likely meant to represent that she's finally called off her war on the world and doesn't want to fight any more; she isn't seen with it again in the final scene, even though it's stated that the world is still a rather bitter, dangerous place for humans and carrying a weapon of some sort, even if only for self-defense, is probably still a good idea. The Destruct Code also explodes after Morte begs Kyrie not to destroy the world, though whether this means he loses access to his memories and powers isn't stated (his hair does return to blond, however). | |

Magic Skirt: Considering how often Morte jumps around, you think you'd see up her skirt. You don't except for perhaps during the opening of the anime. In the first episode, she even crouches facing towards the camera, but under her skirt is just pitch black. Rhi'a flies and somehow manages to not flash anyone. Subverted in one episode where it steadily rips open higher and higher. Morte isn't happy when she finds out.

Child Soldiers: Reve was, at most, twelve when he joined the Golden Lions and was killed in the fighting. spoiler mathematics Morte is his older sister and sixteen at the time of the anime. Kyrie lost his memory four years prior, at the same time and in the same place that Reve lost his life. To have been younger than Morte, Reve had to be no more than twelve four years ago. Flashbacks show him seemingly a couple years younger than his sister, meaning he may only have really been ten or eleven. | |

That Came Out Wrong: After Morte rips her skirt, Kyrie suggests they visit the hot springs together, intending to mend her skirt while she bathes. Unfortunately, Morte keys in on the word together and isn't amused at the implications.note This despite the fact that Japan is well-known for having separate baths for men and women, and it's not at all uncommon for couples or friends to visit a bathhouse "together" and in fact not see each other for the duration of their visit. Kyrie quickly backpedals. | |

Adaptational Wimp: Kyrie is a cowardly non-combatant here rather than the Reluctant Warrior that he is in the manga and game. Agan and Naja are also hit with this to a lesser extent, as while they're both shown to be capable of at least holding their own somewhat, they largely sit out of combat and aren't suggested to be particularly skilled fighters. | |

| Sands of Destruction / int_dcbe8a6e | comment |
Chekhov's Gunman: That guy that appears near the end of the trailer (after the beastlords)? Totally unimportant. An early episode introduces us to a fake World Destruction Committee who are using the fearsome reputation and their (vague) resemblance to the actual members of the group to get free food. Many, many episodes later, we see a wanted poster featuring those three instead of the real World Destruction Committee. Turns out, the Alligator Master mistakenly thought Taupy was a Bear instead of a Little Bear due to these posters, and so the robots will still obey him. | |

Cast Full of Pretty Boys | |
| Sands of Destruction / int_e3739de7 | comment |
Cast Full of Pretty Boys: With a 2:1 gender ratio and three of the four male characters being rather attractive humans and a Half-Human Hybrid (the fourth is a bear, of course, though even he may be considered attractive for his species), there's no question the cast is full of pretty boys. DVD Bonus Material acknowledges this by making Agan a model, Naja his up-and-coming rival model, and Kyrie an apparently-random choice for the world's third-best-looking man (behind Agan and Naja, of course). | |

Disguised in Drag | |
| Sands of Destruction / int_e37f19 | comment |
Disguised in Drag: In the first episode, Kyrie ends up drugged and dressed as a village's sacrifice. They wanted Morte, but she didn't eat the drugged food and they figured any outsider was better than losing one of their own girls. | |

Creepy Monotone: Awakened Kyrie talks like this, in addition to being extremely stoic, to the point of falling into uncanny territory. Shown to have a kind heart however. | |

Opinion-Changing Dream | |
| Sands of Destruction / int_e98afc99 | comment |
Opinion-Changing Dream: In the final episode, while trapped in the Cave of Memories, Morte dreams of her family. While she desires to stay with them and forget the real world, they convince her that not only should she return to live life, but that the world doesn't need to be destroyed after all - just changed, through her life and what she accomplishes with her friends. | |

Animal-Eared Headband: Kyrie likes wearing cat ears. He eventually convinces Morte to wear rabbit ears, though she's less amused and only doing it out of necessity. | |

In episode seven, Taupy angrily shoves off Kyrie's hand, causing him to lose his balance and fall on Morte. She isn't amused, and he's just afraid she's gonna hit him. | |

Distressed Dude | |
| Sands of Destruction / int_f9e16ef | comment |
Distressed Dude: Kyrie. First episode, he gets drugged and is going to be the sacrifice of the village if not for Morte and Toppi saving him. Every other episode he tries his best to prevent this, but every other episode results in him being captured ALONG with Morte and Toppi. However, its to be noted that whenever Morte or Toppi get captured with him, it's always Kyrie's fault because he gets held as a hostage or gets knocked out first. | |

Never Trust a Title | |
| Sands of Destruction / int_fb7bc4a8 | comment |
Never Trust a Title: Sekai Bokumetsu Rokunin translates to "The Six People Who Will Destroy the World". Well, two of those six are actively working to save the world, and another three don't want to destroy the world; they're just stuck with the one girl who does. And the world isn't destroyed in the end, either. | |

World of Action Girls | |
| Sands of Destruction / int_fd8e3e9d | comment |
World of Action Girls: One of the most notable deviations from the video game is the increased emphasis on Rhi'a and Morte's fighting abilities, with both getting into elaborate fights at least Once an Episode. Despite the main cast being made up of four men and two women, Toppi is the only male character who fights consistently, with Kyrie being an outright Non-Action Guy and Naja and Agan almost never involving themselves in combat. | |
