Yatterman	comment	Yatterman is the second show in the Time Bokan anime series by Tatsunoko Production.Running from 1977 to 1979, the show tells the story of Gan Takada and his girlfriend Ai Kaminari, two mechanics who use their quirky inventions and mecha to fight crime as the masked heroes "Yatterman". Their most regular enemy is the Doronbo Gang, consisting of Doronjo, Boyacky and Tonzura, who are trying to steal the Dokuro Stones (Skull Stones) rumoured to point the way to the largest treasure trove of gold in the world.The show was hugely popular in its time, and fondly remembered by many Japanese adults today. Oddly enough, the most memorable part wasn't the titular heroes, but rather the Terrible Trio they fought every week. While the earliest episodes portrayed the Doronbo Gang as unsympathetic bumblers, the fact they were Played for Laughs and had great comedic chemistry made it hard not to grow fond of them. Their popularity has grown so much since the original series that, in modern pop culture, Yatterman-1 and Doronjo are treated as the main characters. Doronjo herself has developed from a cardboard baddie into a good-hearted woman who merely fell in with a bad crowd in pursuit of her dreams, and would retire from villainy if not for her underlings and the Sunk Cost Fallacy.It received a remake series in 2008, and a live-action movie directed by Takashi Miike (yes, of Audition fame) in 2009. Yatterman-1, Doronjo and Yatterman-2 also make appearances as playable characters in Tatsunoko vs. Capcom.Both the original series and the 2008 remake are legally available to watch on Anime Sols, where you can also pledge money to keep both series afloat in the United States and Canada in exchange for physical goods such as stickers, posters and DVD box sets. However, both have failed to meet the funding criteria since then, with only the first 17 episodes of the original series being completed.A new series, Yoru no Yatterman (Yatterman Night) was released in 2015 in commemoration of the 40th year anniversary of Time Bokan.In 2018, Ai Kaminari was brought back as a Virtual YouTuber on Yatterman Channel. She is partnered up with Boyacky, who has been redesigned to be a Pretty Boy, closer to his portrayal in Yoru no Yatterman than the older series.In October 2022 Tatsunoko will air a live action prequel series Tatsunoko Pro SÅ�ritsu 60-shÅ«nen Kinen WOWOW Original Drama Doronjo (Tatsunoko Production 60th Anniversary WOWOW Original Drama Doronjo), or more simply Doronjo; starring Elaiza Ikeda as Nao Dorokawa, the woman who will eventually call herself Doronjo. The show will depict the past and the life of Doronjo. In particular, it will show her life in a poor, harsh environment and the series of tragedies that led her down the path to becoming a villainess.

Boyacky is pretty well known for his perversion towards high school girls, yet Even Evil Has Standards and therefore Boyacky takes great care never to hit on the merely middle-school aged Ai-chan. Played straight in the original. Both Boyacky and Tonzura act like this towards Doronjo, and they even tried to get a kiss from Ai at least once.

While the heroes Gan and Ai are very well known, the Doronbo are the Terrible Trio in Japan, having multiple Expies across not only the rest of the Time Bokan franchise, but across most Japanese media as well. It goes so deep that even the milestone celebration of Time Bokan in 2015 was made about their descendants in the far future. Odate Buta, the pig on the palm tree. Appears first in episode 60 of the original series and became the mascot of the Time Bokan franchise as a whole.

The episodes of this show pretty much followed all the same scheme. Oh, and Doronjo's Clothing Damage, which happens at least twice an episode.

Yatterman / int_3b4f620a	comment	No Fourth Wall: Taken to the extreme with the Doronbo gang. Not only do they seem to realize that they're in an anime, but they're also are aware of when they're appearing an another media or being remade, and make jokes about taking over when they defeat Yatterman. They also talk to the audience all the time, and even have relationships with their own voice actors and off-screen characters like the narrator and pre-show announcers. None of this ever seems to help them avoid their usual formulaic failure and misery, though. The actors who play the gang in the live-action film (Kyoko Fukada, Kendo Kobayashi, and Katsuhisa Namase) were in a special episode of the 2008 Yatterman that was about the Dorombo gang invading the filming of said movie and crossing paths with the actors.

Yatterman / int_40cc0c7e	comment	Bittersweet Ending: At least to the villains in the 70s series. When Doronjo and her lackeys discover that Dokurobei is the Dokuro Stone (see The Reveal below), they decide to leave their life of crimes, tearfully say goodbye to each other one last time and take, literally, different paths. The director pans the image to show us that the three paths later will turn into one single road. Yatterman on the other hand have no villains to face now and, as the narrator says, will always live in our hearts. The Time Bokan OVA describes what became of them: Doronjo became a housewife (with five kids), Tonzura became a business manager, and Boyaky opened his own ramen noddles shop. They're willing to become the Doronbo gang again when they're challenged to a mecha race by the other Time Bokan villains. If Yatterman Night must be considered canon Doronjo, Tonzura and Boyakki still kept considering themselves good friends and, when things started to get really bad for them, their families kept cooperating to the point that Doronjo's last descendant considers Tonzura's and Boyakki's descendants her surrogate, beloved fatherly figures.

The 2008 series also haves similar stock footage sequences (with the suit up one getting three variants as the series goes on) and adds also new stock sequences showing how the aforemented surprise robots are built inside the mech.

They're never recognized despite the fact that both Tonzura and Boyacky never remove their goggle-style masks, and Doronjo always wears a masquerade-style mask. Not to mention the buildings they set up to create scams always have a red skull as part of their decor. Sometimes Gan and Ai are smart enough to notice, but always just a bit too late to prevent them from scamming a ton of people and then launching a new mech. Speaking of Gan and Ai, The Doronbo Gang are never aware that these two teenage kids dressed in jumpsuits that seem to show up everywhere are actually Yatterman in civvies.

They have several encounters with the actors playing themselves in the 2009 live-action movie, who are wildly adored (and have made Doronbo a popular name), but the real Doronbos are never recognised, treated with scorn, and are for once falsely accused of operating a scam business simply for attempting to "pose" as themselves. They even get into a mecha showdown with their actor counterparts, who completely manage to kick their arses. To top it all off, it turns out at the end that Dokurobei knew all along he had sent them on a wild goose chase this time, as the ring they had been seeking was just a trinket he himself had planted very recently. Presumably, he just wanted to see them suffer as much as the fanbase ...

Oh, and both Doronbo and Doronjo are different entities, with Doronbo being the organization and Doronjo being the villainess. According to Tatsunoko vs. Capcom, it's Yatterman, Boyacky, and Doronjo. The other names are still open to interpretation. The fan-subs of the 2008 anime series use the name "Tonzura", but the Anime Sols dubbed version of the same show uses "Tonzler".

Boyacky and Tonzura simultaneously respond to Doronjo's commands with "Arahorasassa-!," a nonsense phrase that can be literally translated as, "One, Two, Yes Sir!" Boyacky preempts the pushing of any button on his mecha with the phrase "Pochittona!," which has no meaning but is often translated as either "push like so" or "push the button." It's become so associated with the character that other anime characters parodying Yatterman use the phrase, and Boyacky-themed toys have been released that say "pochittona" when you push a button. "Victory Pose!" "Yatter! Yatter! Yatterman!" The narrator even has a couple, he begins expository narrations by saying "Please allow me to explain," and signs out every episode with "Yatter, Yatter, Yatterman!" Whenever Boyacky is complimented by Doronjo, a small mecha pig on the mecha's console climbs a coconut tree and says "Even pigs can climb trees." This is often given a motivational subtext. (Boyacky is able to be "the pig who climbs a tree" when Doronjo butters him up.) However, the live action movie gave it the Darker and Edgier subtext that the pig in a tree stands for Boyacky's erection.

Yatterman / int_ce6555f0	comment	Lighter and Softer: Happens twice with the 2008 remake. From the start things like the Dorombo's punishments and Doronjo's Clothing Damage are toned down when compared to the original show, but the last 25 episodes of the show get furthermore toned down since it was moved to a morning time slot. As a result the plots become more streamlined, most of the Parental Bonus jokes and references are gone, new mechas are introduced to sell new toys, Omake segments at the end featuring Fake Interactivity are introduced and so on.

Yatterman / int_d13d746	comment	This Page Will Self-Destruct: Dokurobee always sent to his henchmen some little robots, shaped accordingly to that episode's theme, which carried his messages and then self-destructed. This was only the first of many Non-Fatal Explosions happened to the Doronbo Gang throughout every episode.

Yatterman / int_d855a477	comment	Not So Harmless: The Dorombos are usually Ineffectual Sympathetic Villains, albeit that doesn't mean they're completely incompetent. They manage to create deadly inventions every week, sometimes with little to no money. They can cause major destruction to buildings, take hostages, physically hurt people who get in their way, and even come close to actually murdering innocents. Also, across the series they manage to pull out tons of large-scale crimes, like million-dollar scams or bank heists. In fact, most of their failures tend to happen because of Dokurobei's faulty information when it comes to the Dokuro stone rather than because of their own incompetence.

Indeed the destruction of the Dorombo gangâ€™s mecha will result in her clothes being shredded to revealing levels, although this can happen to all three members. Happen occasionally in two episodes to Ai also.

The Royal Revival OVA and the 2008 remake's "Golden Week" special are essentially one cameo after another.

In episode 7, Doronjo gets a beehive dropped on her as part of Dokurobe's random, sadistic punishment game. Episode 33 instead has Doronjo succeed in escaping from Yatterman with the Dokuro stone she was looking for... which she discovers is actually a wasp's nest after bringing it onto her ship.

Episode 57 has Odate Buta being briefly replaced by Kobuta, the pig mascot of Acecook noodles, who offers his cup ramen to the Dorombo Gang. Acecook noodles reappear briefly in the movie.

She rarely ever gets involved in physical combat, but when she does, there's a touch of dominatrix in there. Best seen in her role as a fighting game character in Tatsunoko vs. Capcom.

And then he leaves them to take care of his grandson Dokubon.
