Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Demonic creatures coming from a parallel dimension are constantly trying to get into the human world. It's actually a phenomenon dating back many decades, hence why a special undercover police/military group has been created to deal with it: the Black Guard. Renzaburō Taki is a Japanese member of this task force, as well as one of the most badass.Very recently, the leaders of both worlds have been working on getting a peace treaty signed. Since it needs to be ratified in our world, Taki is chosen to keep an eye on the negotiations, and so is Makie, a beautiful Action Girl coming from the demon world. However, not everyone is keen on having demons and humans living in peace...Wicked City (妖獣都市 Yōjū Toshi) is an attack on the senses. It is an anime movie adaptation of the Black Guard, the first novel of Hideyuki Kikuchi's Wicked City horror series, directed by his long time friend Yoshiaki Kawajiri (Ninja Scroll, Cyber City Oedo 808) in The '80s. It was later remade into a Hong-Kong live-action movie by Yuen Woo-Ping in The '90s.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })It's not for the faint of heart. | |

Always Save the Girl: Why Taki is dismissed from the Black Guard nearly an hour into the picture, according to its president, who appears genuinely upset that Taki's stellar career had to end the way it did. | |

Action Girl: Makie. Even although she is repeatedly overpowered and molested throughout the film, the female Black Guard actually owns the biggest part of the action: she makes her introduction saving Taki's life, fights back against Jin mostly by herself, destroys the blob woman and the tentacle demon on her own, and at the end, finishes off the Big Bad with her newfound motherly powers. | |
