Uchū Kaizoku Mito no Daibōken, released in English speaking countries as Space Pirate Mito, is an extremely obscure 1999 anime that lasted two seasons (split between the Winter and Summer TV seasons), each spanning 13 episodes. The series centers around Aoi, a fairly typical Japanese teenager whose father had passed on and whose mother, Mito, works overseas as a model. Only... his mom isn't really who he thinks she is.In reality, Mito is the galaxy's most infamous space pirate with enough guts to outshine a supernova. She is also a three foot tall childlike alien — yet all she really wants is to be called "Mom". When the Galactic Patrol follows her to Earth, Aoi is pulled into an intergalactic goose chase that brings him to all corners of the universe, along with the first working Earth mom to carry a pulse rifle.The series is a bit... odd, but still manages to be enjoyable with its colorful art style and strange cast of characters. Just don't try to make too much sense of the plotline. You will severely hurt your brain.The series was released in English by Media Blasters, though with a 5-year gap between the releases of the two seasons. While an English dub was produced for the first season, Media-Blasters opted to release the second season sub-only, due to the changes in the anime market over that time period.The series was later rescued and re-released by RightStuf's anime division, Nozomi Entertainment.Both seasons are available on Crunchyroll and Nozomi's YouTube channel. | |

Bizarre Alien Biology | |
| Space Pirate Mito / int_1161fb48 | comment |
Bizarre Alien Biology: The aliens that aren't Starfish Aliens or Intelligent Gerbils tend to have this. For instance, Mito's species determines its gender during puberty. The Nenga siblings belong to a nitrogen-breathing species for whom water is a deadly poison and Mutsuki is prone to sprouting mushrooms when stressed. | |

First Law of Gender Bending | |
| Space Pirate Mito / int_352b9aba | comment |
First Law of Gender Bending: Poor Aoi. His gender becomes unstable (long story about Bizarre Alien Biology) at the end of the first series leaving him outwardly female, which is not helped when his mom steps aside and has him crowned queen of the Galaxy. The last episode of the first series ends with Aoi running away to look for a way to become a boy again. But this seems to be forgotten at the start of the next series, and the only one to even mention it is the Ax-Crazy Hikari. It's implied that Aoi's devotion to her role as queen at the end of the penultimate episode fixes her permanently as there's no suggestion of her turning back at the end of the series. | |

| Space Pirate Mito / int_483152c4 | comment |
The Resenter: Ranban's villainous motivation comes from being imprisoned and expelled from the royal family because his body never settled on a gender, and continues to pursue Mito mostly because he resents that she could rule the galaxy even though she doesn't want to and was perfectly happy to let him rule as long as he did a good job. | |

I Take Offense to That Last One | |
| Space Pirate Mito / int_61b576af | comment |
I Take Offense to That Last One: A variation. When the Galactic Patrol is looking for Aoi, they announce his "crimes" to the general populace, hoping to flush him out. In order, this includes being the son of a wanted Space Pirate, seducing women, being a ten-foot monster (and apparently a gremlin), and disrespecting his parents, since he injured his mother and ran away. Hearing the announcement, his classmates ask if it's true, and Aoi replies, "It's true," but stops short, leading his friends to have Imagine Spots based on the more outlandish claims. (He really meant the last one, though the first — and arguably the second — are also true). | |

Go Mad from the Revelation | |
| Space Pirate Mito / int_89b8822f | comment |
Go Mad from the Revelation: Ineffectual Sympathetic Villain Masatsuki Nenga goes totally batshit insane when he comes to the realisation that his "Justice" is nothing more than a tool of oppression (one that has no issue shooting down a "mob" of villagers, men, women and children) used by a pretender to the throne. This leads to about two episodes worth of him screaming "I AM JUSTICE!" at the top of his lungs while firing his gun like the lunatic he is. This would be fine all in all, but the guy doesn't look older than 12. | |

Second Episode Morning | |
| Space Pirate Mito / int_92a9442 | comment |
Second Episode Morning: Played with. Mito, caught climbing out of her Mom suit by Aoi, at the very end of the first episode, tries to climb back in at the beginning of the second episode and assure her son that what he saw was just a dream. The two of them laugh it off until she realizes that her non-human crewmates are still hanging around. With no other choice, she shows him her true self (an alien that looks like a 3rd grader), causing Aoi to faint. The very next scene shows Aoi waking up screaming and deciding that he must have dreamt the previous scene. Until his house is destroyed by a giant version of his mom that suddenly takes to the air. Aoi flees, is hit by a hearse, and then wakes up screaming again, this time for real. He hears his mom's voice from the other room, but when he sees her in her true form again, he leaps back into bed, hoping that this, too, is All Just a Dream. (It's not.) Likewise, the second episode of the second series opens with Aoi dreaming he's a boy again, before Mitsuki turns to stone, a vision Hikari appears, and Aoi wakes up to find the capital of the galaxy being moved to the town. | |

Samus Is a Girl: Played with.

Ranban himself is technically intersexed or neuter (it's not made clear which) since his/her Bizarre Alien Biology never triggered the change at puberty that normally determines gender in his/her species. | |

Nice Job Fixing It, Villain: Aoi wears a bracelet that he believes is a good luck charm and the audience is led to believe is the key to a powerful weapon. He also starts having random bursts of powerful energy when the bad guys attack. Near the end of the series, Ranban removes this bracelet and tells Aoi it was an enhancer that brought out his powers, making him helpless without it. Cue Aoi causing an explosion with power even greater than he used before, and Mito telling Ranban that the enhancer was actually a limiter to keep Aoi's powers in check. | |

You're Not My Father | |
| Space Pirate Mito / int_bdf0640e | comment |
You're Not My Father: Aoi ends an argument with "You're not my mom! You're just an alien in a suit who looks like my mom!" Mito is devastated, and her reaction finally convinces Aoi she is indeed his mother. He's still not ready to call her mom, though. | |

Wingding Eyes: All the humanoid aliens in the series have starburst-shaped highligts overlapping their pupils. Aoi, who's half-human, has one normal pupil and one starburst. | |

Ninja: Okubo-sensei reveals some skill with standard ninja tricks (roof-hopping, caltrops, etc.) towards the end of the first series. She still gets no respect from her students. | |

Shout-Out | |
| Space Pirate Mito / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: One early eyecatch has Masatsuki declare, "Nee-san, my tears won't stop!", which is a riff on the On The Next Episode Of Catchphrase of Dear Brother. A lot of shoutouts to Mito Komon, a long-running Japanese Jidaigeki TV drama about a high official named Tokugawa Mitsukuni who traveled the land in disguise fighting corruption. First, and most obvious, Mito and Aoi's family name is the same as Tokugawa Mitsukuni's given name. In episode Mito introduces her lieutenants Sabu and Shin with their complete names, Sukesaburō and Kakunoshin, which also happen to be the names of Tokogaw Mitsukuni's two devoted followers Suke-san and Kaku-san. In episode 10, one of Mito's allies produces a seal proclaiming her to be the heir to the Galactic throne, similar reveals typically happened Once an Episode in Mito Komon One of Masatsuki's trumped up charges against Aoi is he will multiply if you get him wet and turn evil if you feed him after midnight. The dub throws in references to Ghost in the Shell, and the visual references to Star Trek and Star Wars are perhaps inevitable. | |

Training from Hell | |
| Space Pirate Mito / int_d66cd0e6 | comment |
Training from Hell: In the second series, Ranban invokes this trope — specifically the versions from sports anime & manga — when he trains Aoi. Specifically, he makes Aoi dress in a School Sport Uniform and block Energy Balls thrown at her, while making her call him "Coach". | |

Mama Bear: Mito is a particularly ferocious example despite her appearance. She cuts through the entire Galactic Patrol fleet in the first episode just to be with Aoi on the anniversary of his father's death. And when they actually capture Aoi... | |

Mobile-Suit Human | |
| Space Pirate Mito / int_e5aff319 | comment |
Mobile-Suit Human: Mito uses a "Mail Suit" as Powered Armor - or just to pass as a normal, adult humanoid woman. The fact that she'd been wearing it around Aoi until the series started causes problems in their relationship. Especially considering that all the Mail Suits look the same. | |
