Tousouchuu: The Great Missionnote Literally Run for Money: The Great Mission is the anime adaptation of the popular Japanese game show Run For Money: Tousouchuu. It was produced by Toei Animation and aired its first episode on April 2, 2023 in the Sunday 9AM time slot on Fuji TV.In the far future, humanity has migrate to the moon due to the Earth suffering from climate change and the depletion of its natural resources, living in a Fantastic Caste System where the wealthy lavish in a luxurious lifestyle on the upper layers while the poor struggle to survive in the bottom slums of the colony. Keeping the colony's happiness intact is Chronos Incorporated's long-running reality game show known as "Run For Money" (or "RFM", for short), where "Runners" must literally outrun the competition by navigating through the vast Wide-Open Sandbox, completing various tasks and make it to the end as the cash prize increases by the second, all while avoiding the Hunters - nigh-unstoppable robotic chasers marked by their Cool Shades and classy outfits - whose mere touch can eliminate a Runner from the game and robbed them of the chance for the coveted prize pool.Tomura Sawyer, a courier with great parkour skills, practically forces his way into the risky game show after it becomes apparent that the only way his younger brother Haru's health can improve is if they move to less polluted areas - something that they can only afford if Sawyer wins the notoriously difficult challenges of the eponymous game show.Of course, between the various stages, tons of deadly chases, and an ever-changing line-up of participants, which including the absurdly lucky Luna Nishinotoin and the undefeated champion Morris Shoemaker, Sawyer will have to push his Le Parkour skills and his unusual instincts to its absolute limits if he ever wanted to claim the prize...Has a character page in construction. | |

Darker and Edgier | |
| Tousouchuu: The Great Mission / int_14beeefd | comment |
Darker and Edgier: The London arc introduces the Warcry mechanic, making every subsequent RFM more than a High Stakes Game as using it also tires out the Runners on top of attracting Hunters much easily, and it wasn't until Episode 46 and 47 where the stakes has been escalated to that of saving the entire colony from a terrorist group having taken Chronos Incorporated hostage over a forbidden RFM game. | |

| Tousouchuu: The Great Mission / int_15c42588 | comment |
Episode 18 not only introduces a large number of new players for the upcoming third game, but it also features Haru finally entering the game albeit with a fake name. Furthermore, the Fighting Spirit element of the show that was hinted in the opening sequence is finally hinted at within the show itself. On top of that Sigma's beef with Chronos Inc. is made much more explicit. | |

The brothers themselves are sharing a dream to one day see the beach, despite of the story taking place on the Moon. This raises several questions over the extent of the terraforming the Moon has underwent. Furthermore, the opening theme suggests that Sawyer and Haru might be Not Blood Related. | |

Mr. Fanservice: Sprinkled thought the show. Morris Shoemaker is considered as one In-Universe due to his tall and muscular body, handsome face, benevolent personality and astounding feats in the Run For Money. He even has a short Workout Fanservice scene. The outfit he wears in the game further accentuates his muscular build. Lampshaded by his title 'Mr. Perfect'. The opening theme has a mysterious masked white-haired man with an open shirt revealing his muscular physique appearing in front of Sawyer. The man is revealed to be Sigma Redwing, a skilled acrobat and weapons user who is better known in the public as the Phantom Thief Apollon. Travis Lowe is a honorable, dependable and handsome rugby player who easily becomes friends with the protagonist. | |

Ambiguous Situation | |
| Tousouchuu: The Great Mission / int_1f6983f7 | comment |
Ambiguous Situation: Despite of the simple premise of the plot, there are several odd details that suggest the setting is not quite what it seems... The brothers themselves are sharing a dream to one day see the beach, despite of the story taking place on the Moon. This raises several questions over the extent of the terraforming the Moon has underwent. Furthermore, the opening theme suggests that Sawyer and Haru might be Not Blood Related. Several comments made by both Satoshi Tsukimura and his subordinates leave it dubious how much control Chronos Inc. actually has over the data worlds. How Penta got stuck in debt in the first place is not explained, although it is alluded to be caused by his bad luck. | |

Antagonist Abilities | |
| Tousouchuu: The Great Mission / int_38078cc5 | comment |
Antagonist Abilities: To say that the Arc Villain of each game is a nightmare to deal with would be an understatement. This includes anything ranging from Villain Teleportation, One-Winged Angel to The Paralyzer (the latter is practically a One-Hit Kill if a Hunter is nearby). The fake Mika Lelouch, a Serial Killer who infiltrated the third game, can use her Warcry with much greater ease than the majority of the other Runners. The result of this is a frighteningly powerful One-Woman Army. To rub salt on the wound, she is even capable of effectively immobilizing the Hunters, unlike how any other player is at risk of being caught by the Hunters when they activate their Warcry. | |

Actor Allusion | |
| Tousouchuu: The Great Mission / int_392372f9 | comment |
Actor Allusion: Sigma/Appolo is not only an allusion to his voice actor's role as Zoro being a charismatic hunk with great physical abilities and swordsmanship skills, but also goes the extra mile of even mimicking Zoro's original inspiration Zorro by being a Lovable Rogue hiding his identity behind a masked alter ego. His title of 'Masked Duke' also references the original Zorro's status of a nobleman. | |

Villainous Rescue: While all players dread getting caught by the Hunters, sometimes getting caught by them is a good thing: at least one participant's life is spared by getting caught by one of the Hunters. This gets taken to its Logical Extreme in the 19th century London Arc, where the Serial Killer who infiltrated to game fails to kills any of the other Runners because the Hunters reached the cornered Runners first in an Offscreen Moment of Awesome. | |

Princely Young Man: Sid Phoenix and Sigma Redwing are two different takes on this trope. The former is a vain but reliable Long-Haired Pretty Boy, while the latter looks like he stepped out of a work intended for yumejoshi audiences, being a well-built Bishounen Guile Hero. The fourth game introduces Prince Kaito, a literal prince example. With all the baggage of being The Wise Prince. | |

Non-Action Big Bad: The closest thing the show has to a main villain is the Chronos Inc. Among their leadership, Satoshi Tsukimura is Game Master of the Run For Money and is the reason for why the game is designed to be so dangerous in the first place. Tsukimura is also at least complicit for the Moon being and staying a society of severe classism. That being said, he never directly confronts the protagonists. | |

The Egypt Arc is this, even in-universe.

And then there is Sawyer's transformation into a giant wolf.. | |

Creator Thumbprint: Sawyer's character design is not unlike what you'd expect from a Digimon anime protagonist, most notably the goggles. Fittingly both anime's were made by the same studio. The villain of the first game is practically a Digimon villain, being an Animalistic Abomination in a digital world that undergoes several radical transformations into increasingly more powerful forms mid-battle. | |

Genetic Engineering Is the New Nuke: The Hidden Villain of the third arc is trying to make a profit by artificially creating monsters from ancient mythology and Victorian era novels, testing them by unleashing them on London, and then selling them to foreign costumers. | |

Casting Gag: Daisuke Kishio previously voiced many Monster of the Week characters in the Digimon anime, including the likes of MetalTyrannomon. Here, he is voicing Penta Baccana, a Butt-Monkey who almost gets Eaten Alive by a giant dinosaur-like monster that has the ability to continuously evolve into more powerful forms. | |

Serial Killer | |
| Tousouchuu: The Great Mission / int_7301ae04 | comment |
The fake Mika Lelouch, a Serial Killer who infiltrated the third game, can use her Warcry with much greater ease than the majority of the other Runners. The result of this is a frighteningly powerful One-Woman Army. To rub salt on the wound, she is even capable of effectively immobilizing the Hunters, unlike how any other player is at risk of being caught by the Hunters when they activate their Warcry. | |

Screw the Rules, I Make Them!: Chronos Inc. shows no ill will towards the Tomura siblings after Sawyer forces his way into the competition, and tacitly let him reenter as many times as he wants. Of course, since Sawyer a Pinball Protagonist yet also beloved by audiences, he is actually pretty useful for maintaining the Bread And Circus status quo. | |

Establishing Character Moment: Sawyer's first scene in the anime is him performing a dangerous parkour stunt just to reach the balcony of the costumer so he can deliver a package to them, all while speaking politely while handing it over. This establishes his personality as bold and risk-prone, but also kind and polite. | |

Wham Episode | |
| Tousouchuu: The Great Mission / int_8e20979 | comment |
Wham Episode: Episode 18 not only introduces a large number of new players for the upcoming third game, but it also features Haru finally entering the game albeit with a fake name. Furthermore, the Fighting Spirit element of the show that was hinted in the opening sequence is finally hinted at within the show itself. On top of that Sigma's beef with Chronos Inc. is made much more explicit. The Egypt Arc is this, even in-universe. For the first time, the concept of having two simultaneous rounds of Run For Money is introduced, with Sawyer and co. even briefly clashing with an opposing team of players from the previous games, who are lead by Morris. And then there is Sawyer's transformation into a giant wolf.. Episode 46, 47 and 48 provides quite of a bombshell one after another. It was revealed that Gustin was actually one of the creators of the Cry Triggers and the Warcry system, and that Sawyer's earlier rampage is due to his greater potential awakening it. Furthermore, Sigma seems to have confirmation regarding something called "Enigma", the forbidden game variant of Run For Money. A terrorist group highjacked Chronos Incorporated, halting the current game of RFM in the process. Makoto Rozuki, the gamemaster of Colony A-3's own brand of RFM and leader of the terrorist group "Kairos", demands Satoshi and Harvest to surrender Enigma to them, ultimately endangering everyone on Colony A-7 when they denied his request and forced them to disable the entire colony's air petrification system. With everyone in the colony in great danger and Satoshi abducted by Kairos for their own nefarious plans, Sawyer, Haru, Luna (as well as her butler), Morris, Sigma and Gustin resolves to save the entire colony and Satoshi from Kairos' control by competing in a special variation of RFM against Colony A-3's own Runners. Then, Raccoon Dog Man reveals itself to everyone as Rabbi, a runaway Runner from Colony A-3 who offers the group of a way to her colony... Episode 48 reveals the full scope of Rabbi and her relation with Kairos and Colony A-3: she is the Game Master of her colony's RFM until Makoto and his followers stage a coup d'etat that leads to her being stripped of her role as its Game Master, barely able to escape and went into incognito in Colony A-7 as Racoon Dog Man. | |

Foreshadowing | |
| Tousouchuu: The Great Mission / int_9d12bbc1 | comment |
Foreshadowing: Some hints to future developments occur several episodes before they become relevant: Mika Lelouch being a phony is foreshadowed by her lack of direct confrontations for the most of the London Arc before getting finally exposed near the end of the game, as well as the suspiciously convenient timing of her meeting Sigma and Sawyer at the train station around the same time as Sengoku is attacked. The second ending theme also alludes to Penta being the one who orchestrates her defeat, only to end up becoming the object of her fixation. Phantom Thief Apollon's lack of interest in the treasure he plunders from rich individuals foreshadows that his real intentions are that It's Personal with Chronos Inc. The Warcry mechanic is been foreshadowed by the opening theme since the first episode, long before the third game. To say nothing of Sawyer's berserk state under said power. The second ending theme foreshadows Haru entering the competition without Sawyer's permission. | |

Contrasting Sequel Antagonist | |
| Tousouchuu: The Great Mission / int_a3515d6 | comment |
Contrasting Arc Villain: Due to Run For Money altering its setting for every game, the antagonists of each game have different goals, plans, resources and abilities. The villain of the first game in the anime is an Animalistic Abomination Kaiju capable of continuously evolving into more powerful forms. The second arc features a literal Demon Lord Nobunaga, whose will is enforced by his Quirky Miniboss Squad for most of the game until the heroes finally reach him. The third arc is a Boss Bonanza where various supernatural creatures show up one after another. Their only commonality is that they target the women of London. They are ultimately revealed to have been a series of genetic experiments by the Not So Well Intentioned Mad Scientist Zebit for the purpose of creating what amounts to Magitek biological weapons. The fourth arc features Reewes II, a Nefarious Pharaoh who once ruled over the single kingdom that has since been divided into two. Now that he has returned to the present with the aid of his descendant Zamza the Pharaoh seeks to consume the souls of not only the two royal families, but also those of gods. | |

Red Baron: Each contestant gets a title. Sawyer's stunts quickly earn him the title "Gravity Master". Due to his contributions during Sawyer's first RFM game via Hollywood Hacking, not to mention his analytical skills, Haru earns himself the moniker of "Wise Seeker". Morris Shoemaker, having won the hellish game show multiple times, while also being handsome, athletic and polite individual overall, gets the title 'Mr. Perfect'. Luna Nishinotoin earned the moniker 'Lucky Muse' due to her fixation on luck and pretty appearance. Penta Baccana gets the unfortunate title of 'King of Debt'. Sid Phoenix gets his title of 'Speed Prince' from his outfit's Prince Charming motif and his surprising agility. Feathery Giver is dubbed 'Mindfulness Lady' for her yoga motif. Major Oliver Fox, being a military figure participating in the game, is given the epithet 'Lone Soldier'. Sarah Peabody, being a boulderer, is granted 'Bouldering Angel'. Sigma Redwing is simply the 'Masked Duke'. Travis Lowe is fittingly the 'Touchdown King'. Jairo Demon gets the hilariously unsugarcoated title of 'Money Piranha'. Pieta Barone is the 'Thrilling Busker'. The astonishingly prolific pro swimmer Kai Bloom is appropriately named 'Dolphinman'. | |

The Most Dangerous Video Game | |

The Most Dangerous Video Game: Run For Money in the anime is basically this. In each game, the Runners are inserted into a Cyberspace that is themed after some period in Earth's past and need to avoid the Hunters, while also surviving the battle against the Arc Villain of each era before the time limit reaches zero. And then there's Enigma, which is said to be Chronos Incorporated's highly forbidden and completely unwinnable RFM game. | |

Touch of Death: Downplayed. The Hunters can eject any Runner out of the game just by touching them, after which they are caught in a sphere and launched out of the playing field, but the players are still physically alive. In fact, some Runners are saved from actual death mid-mission via being ejected by a Hunter at the last second. | |

Timed Mission: The whole game is technically one. On top of avoiding the Hunters, the Runners are often abruptly given the titular "Great Mission", additional mid-game timed missions that are absurdly difficult. Thus, it was necessary for various Runners to work together to accomplish each game's Great Mission as efficiently and quickly as possible, lest a Hunter came in and eliminate them right and there... | |

Healthcare Motivation: Haru's asthma-like ailment puts health and life at risk. This can only be properly remedied by him moving out of the Gray Area into to higher areas where air is cleaner. Just about the only way for Sawyer to legally get the needed money to do so fast is by winning the Run For Money. Magical Homie is suffering from some illness that interferes with her usual profession as a Stage Magician. Unlike Sawyer, she is willing to do anything to win, even betraying the people who previously helped her. | |

Muscles Are Meaningful | |
| Tousouchuu: The Great Mission / int_c4a1d337 | comment |
Muscles Are Meaningful / Muscles Are Meaningless: Reconstructed. Some of the more athletic participants (such as Morris and Travis) have particularly muscular physiques, granting them enough stamina to keep moving without getting tired quickly and they usually reliably outrun the Hunters with relative ease, but even they can at most only briefly repel the Hunters in a direct confrontation; this still means getting close enough to get captured and kicked out of the game by them. That being said, what they can accomplish against the Hunters in a direct confrontation is to save another player, especially in situations where only a Fragile Speedster can complete a mission anyways. | |

Offscreen Moment of Awesome | |
| Tousouchuu: The Great Mission / int_c5b47b36 | comment |
Offscreen Moment of Awesome: In the London arc, all the players that were about to be slain by The Mole are saved at the last second off-screen by the Hunters. During the Time Skip, there was apparently a lot of astonished reactions during the events of the unseen Antarctica round. | |

Difficulty Spike | |
| Tousouchuu: The Great Mission / int_c6ae4c86 | comment |
Difficulty Spike: In-Universe. The London arc is the longest yet, and is acknowledged by a veteran player to have been the hardest installment of the game show in a long while. | |

Anti-Frustration Features | |
| Tousouchuu: The Great Mission / int_d6f284a3 | comment |
Anti-Frustration Features: In-Universe, The game will pause any timers and not let any Hunters go after players if they're forced to use places that would have both long downtime and too small of an area to escape from Hunters fairly, such as the train rides to and from Dracula Castle during the London arc. These also act as breathers for the players between two intense battles. | |

Unusually Uninteresting Sight | |
| Tousouchuu: The Great Mission / int_d99a228f | comment |
Unusually Uninteresting Sight: None of the NPC ever acknowledge the presence of the Hunters in the first game. In later games, they are relatively aware of them, but do not prioritize dealing with them over their world's Arc Villain. | |

Urban Segregation: The protagonist and his younger brother live in the polluted Gray Area. The rich live in the pristine White Area. There is also the Blue Area which is the only that doesn't dip into either extreme. | |

Running Gag | |
| Tousouchuu: The Great Mission / int_f9f2c33 | comment |
Running Gag: A few: Penta never being able to get out of debt. Whenever someone is about to get out of the game safely via the Surrender Booth, they are usually intercepted and get caught by the Hunters instead. Luna's luck often benefits her in very roundabout and indirect ways. Sid's willingness to flirt with the majority of women he comes across, regardless of species. Yes, species. In the Egypt arc he menages to woo a dung beetle. | |
