Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })It is roughly AD 2141. Humanity has abandoned Earth and spread across the galaxy, but that doesn't mean we left our problems behind. In fact, there are quite a lot of them, and some of them are worse than people could have dreamed of before going into space. An Heroes "R" Us agency of the galactic government called the Worlds Welfare & Works Association ("3WA") has its own special way of dealing with these problems — it dispatches teams of highly-trained, well-equipped troubleshooters, called "Trouble Consultants", to find the trouble and, well, shoot it.One of the most successful teams of Trouble Consultants is the "Lovely Angels", two college-age girls who have a near-perfect success record. However, they also have the rather unfair reputation of blowing up everything they touch (for the record, only a third of their missions have ever ended with something being blown up, and it's never actually their fault), which has led to their unofficial and hated nickname of the "Dirty Pair". On the other side of matters, a list of the things they have accidentally destroyed would include a number of inhabited planets, so it's not as if their infamy is wholly undeserved.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Novelist Haruka Takachiho first created the Pair in 1979, in a series of stories published as Light Novels set in the same continuity as his other series Crusher Joe (which debuted 2 years earlier). The inspiration was a trip to see the Japanese female wrestlers "The Beauty Pair". The production studio Sunrise adapted the stories into a successful action/comedy TV series in 1985, which continued into a movie, an OVA series, and two feature-length OVAs. In 1994, the franchise was rebooted as Dirty Pair Flash. Meanwhile, Adam Warren (future author of Empowered) and Toren Smith (of translation house Studio Proteus, who left after the first three miniseries) obtained the rights to create an English-original manga-styled Dirty Pair comic miniseries for Dark Horse Comics, technically based on the original novels instead of the anime. As for the light novels themselves, they continued to be published all the way until 2018, when the ninth and final one was finally released.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); })The Dirty Pair anime was originally translated in the US by Streamline Pictures in the 90s, with the release of the movie and feature-length OVAs. Later, ADV Films released Flash, the OVA series, the feature-length OVAs, and the movie. They had plans to release the original TV series, which fell through due to poor sales. However, the TV series was finally licensed and released by Nozomi Entertainment. Nozomi followed up by re-releasing the movie, the original OVAs, and Flash in 2012, including both the ADV Films and the Streamline dubs (where applicable). The TV series was available on YouTube (via Manga Entertainment for Nozomi) and DVD, but all but the first two episodes disappeared after Nozomi lost the license.Dark Horse Comics published translations of the first two light novels. They also published the comics by Adam Warren (after the original publisher Eclipse Comics went out of business), but those are out of print now.Also, starting in March 2010, the seinen manga magazine Monthly Comic Ryu published an adaptation of the first light novel, The Great Adventures of the Dirty Pair, which was collected in two volumes. The artist for this version was Hisao Tamaki, who is most famous for the manga adaptation of Star Wars: A New Hope published by Dark Horse Comics. In April 2019, Seven Seas Entertainment announced that they had licensed the manga for release in December 2019 as an omnibus collection. On October 1, 2021, the TV series premiered on Crunchyroll and Retro Crush. In addition, Nozomi has announced a kickstarter to release the franchise on Blu-ray, as well as produce an English dub for the original TV series.More information about the Dirty Pair, in all of their incarnations, is available at the website Tea Time in Elenore City.(Original entry text written by Rob Kelk for The Anime Primer, and used with permission of the author.)Tropes:

Full-Frontal Assault: In the Project EDEN movie, Yuri and Kei are forced to fight against several alien-like creatures while in Modesty Towels when their bubble baths get interrupted by them. The girls are then forced to retreat while only wearing towels, which barely stay on during the Chase Scene. When they have a quiet moment, Kei strips the prisoner Carson to his underwear and cuts down his clothes them down to her size while Yuri modifies her towel into a bikini form for the rest of the movie — which isn't any different than the skimpy clothing they usually wear.

The Cameo
 Dirty Pair / int_1b65dfad
comment
The Cameo: In Episode 14, when Kei is watching TV, we briefly see one TV channel showing something featuring Crusher Joe. The Crusher Joe movie itself features a longer show-within-the-show cameo appearance of Kei, Yuri, and Mugi. Since the original light novel versions of Crusher Joe and Dirty Pair are part of the same continuity, these qualify as continuity nods or mythology gags. Joe and company also pop up on Mughi's screen (as do the Yaz versions of the Angels) right before the big fight in Project EDEN. A scene from the movie which has Kei and Yuri crashing a hover-car through the lobby of a building has Lum amongst the crowd of people running away in fear.

Calling Card: An episode of the TV anime has the Angels as bait for a Serial Killer, posing as a door-to-door salesman, who specializes in killing attractive young women in their apartments and carving one of the letters "B, K, P, Q, R" on their foreheads. The reveal is that there were two serial killers — playing chess with each other, using the letters and the victims' room numbers to represent their moves.

Nebulous Evil Organisation: "Lucifer", which mainly plays a role in the novels, is a SPECTRE styled crime syndicate, so secretive that they only admit blood relatives as full members. The organization is responsible for the events of Flight 005 Conspiracy, and the Big Bad of Flash is a member. The TV episode "Lots of Danger, Lots of Decoys" has "the Devil's Syndicate" as opponents — but they're portrayed as much less this trope (or like any version of the Lucifer syndicate before or since) than a Space Pirate guild with tons of Offscreen Villain Dark Matter, led by an dimwitted Agent Peacock carrying a torch for Kei.

Adaptation Expansion: The Hisao Tamaki manga's version of "The Case of the Backwater Murders" from the light novels — and that goes beyond Isabella's implants. The manga adaptation plays up Isabella as the Big Bad of the story, introducing her early on as the owner of the casino, playing her as a Foil for Kei, and exaggerating her Freudian Excuse. It also introduces a Battle Butler cyborg as a Dragon for the Pair to fight.

Subverted in that this was part of Kevin Sleet's plot to hack the Central Computer... but then again, it was all part of the exam for Kei ... and for Kevin Sleet. Or Was It.

The Dreaded: If there is an understandable reason why Kei and Yuri hate their titular nickname, it's because almost everybody who says it around them looks like they are expecting the world to end right after they recognized them (and considering the Pair's luck, that's not far off. Part of the reason why such shit happens is because the bad guys escalate like crazy when they find out that they are after them).

comment
Fantastic Drug: Several sci-fi drugs are brought up at different points, this being a future filled with transhuman technology. Wardrugs are implants that inject a tranquilizing cocktail into the blood after a serious injury. At one point Kei gets her leg half blown off, and starts "glanding" Wardrugs. She identifies "no-shock" and "happy juice", the latter of which makes her very giggly. There is also a chemweapon called "Proust-in-a-Can", which places the victim into a coma while they are locked into re-experiencing a distant memory and "Crybaby", which forces the target to become a harmless, crying mess (as well as recalling things that they find hurtful, fueling the misery they feel).

"Freaky Friday" Flip: Weaponized during "Run From The Future". Kei and Yuri are on opposite sides of the Nimikasi station, and Yuri's closer to one of their targets that Kei really wanted to capture — so they agree to take control of each others' bodies temporarily. At the end of the miniseries, when Kei is captured, bound, and about to suffocate, her only hope is to take control of Yuri's body again while she's high on "Proust-In-A-Can" and rescue them both before it's too late

comment
But What About the Astronauts?: Part of the infodump Kei recites in "Sim Hell" about the Nanoclysm was that the human diaspora into outer space was able to survive the worst of the chaos caused by the nanotech plague. She and Yuri get to experience this through a pair of Virtual Training Simulations where they have to escape a station about to be destroyed in the wake of the chaos. They manage to escape the space station with their usual finesse, but the scenario on an Underwater Base infected by the Nanoclysm has Yuri become a Zombie Infectee at the last moment.

Walking Disaster Area
 Dirty Pair / int_46e1fd22
comment
Walking Disaster Area: Hence the "Dirty Pair" nickname. Yuri and Kei and two government operatives who just happen to attract apocalyptic disaster wherever they go. Their typically ham-fisted and violent style in handling such situations doesn't help matters, but Finagle's Law is a way of life with them, and calamity seems to strike wherever they go, even when they're on vacation. In one miniseries, a villain performs an "experiment" to see what would happen when a clone of Yuri is thrown into the mix, injecting three "Lovely Angels" into the situation. The result: a supernova that threatens to set off more supernovae by its shockwave. Clearly two women you should be inclined to avoid. "It's not our fault!"

Trans Relationship Troubles: Defied in one episode (ep. 7 of the TV series, also mentioned above under Time Dilation) where the heir of a spaceship corporation and his bodyguard developed a Romeo-and-Juliet style Bodyguard Crush and ran off together. After a lot of other attempts at separating them (which involved lots of gunfire and explosions) didn't worked, the heir's dad used what he thought was his trump card: he told his son that the bodyguard was a trans woman. The kid made clear that he didn't gave a damn.

The jealous bride comes to the Wrong Assumption that Kei is another woman he may have been involved with and threatens to divorce him. After he was able to quickly make up with her again, he then proceeds to take a shower but then Yuri who followed Malatesta's footprints into the house, invades his bathroom and sees him naked in the shower causing him to have a Naked Freak-Out and his bride to come in and assume him and Yuri were about to engage in a Shower of Love and starts throwing stuff at him in a jealous rage while Yuri sneaks out.

Journey to the Center of the Mind: The fourth episode has Yuri sent into the virtual-reality dreamworld of a witness the 3WA needs to testify against the Big Bad. Most of the storyline is a Heroic Fantasy pastiche, but the ending is clearly a metaphor for the witness reaching an epiphany about how he'd been living his life.

War for Fun and Profit: In the OVA episode "Red Eyes are the Signal of Hell. Follow the Slaughter Squad!", the squad of soldiers with Night-Vision Goggles the Angels are investigating turn out to be brainwashed soldiers kidnapped by a perverted Arms Dealer who had been appearing in the background during the episode, selling to both sides of the civil war. Naturally, he wanted to keep the government and rebels from signing a truce, and mysteriously lethal commandos attacking rebels would do the trick. His biggest mistake: he made it personal for the Dirty Pair, several times over.

The couple, who were also a pair of Robot Masters, also created a robot duplicate of their son, who inevitably goes on a rampage; the episode title is "The Boy in the Mansion Is a Terminator" for a reason, after all.

In at least two stories, Kei has thrown an enemy off by flashing her breasts.

Lemony Narrator: Takachiho's original stories are (depending on whom you ask) either annoyingly marred or significantly enlivened by being narrated by Kei. Her accounts of the Angels' adventures include bizarre, tangential, and frequently titillating details (she will tell you, in detail, how good her butt looks in uniform); occasional putdowns of Yuri, who's often depicted (rather suspiciously) as slightly vain and constantly on the make for potential paramours, especially if she can steal them from Kei; and what can only be described as ploys to gain the audience's sympathy. Everything suddenly becomes more comprehensible when one realizes that Kei is trying to flirt with whomever she's telling the stories to.

 Dirty Pair / int_7fbb2a3

Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: Frequently implied to occur whenever the titular characters are on the job (it's the reason for their Embarrassing Nickname), but one OVA episode spells it out plainly. The Angels are investigating the mysterious deaths of several hundred mining employees on a planet run as a religious colony. They find that the religion's leadership has evolved into a murderous cult that, with the help of a ring of weather satellites, is capable of calling down Sodom-and-Gomorrah-style devastation in a specific location. After they destroy the cult's station in orbit, they assume correctly that the cult's reign of terror is ended. Unfortunately, the space station was also the control for the weather satellites and the weather satellites weren't just used for destructive purposes. The Angels look down from orbit and see about nineteen hurricanes beginning to form with no weather-control system left to prevent them.

Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking: The Reveal of why Kei was so gung-ho on her Roaring Rampage of Revenge against Shasti in "Dangerous Acquaintances". Through the miniseries, the audience learned Shasti was the Angels' Minnesota Fats, who killed her own partner and left the both of them for dead. But what really angered Kei was that the salvage crew that found them Shamefully Stripped took some pictures before rescuing them, and sold the pictures to a porno magazine — and that is the story of the infamous "Dirty Pair" issue of "High Sense" magazine that was and continues to be mentioned as an in-universe Noodle Incident. The fight scene begins immediately after this reveal.

Red Oni, Blue Oni
 Dirty Pair / int_8411ab92

Red Oni, Blue Oni: Kei and Yuri practically define this trope for Lovely Angels teams. The idea of the two contrasting personalities interacting, the way they bounce off one another or back each other up, was actually the hook that Takachiho used to convince his editors that a series with a pair of female protagonists could work in the first place. Kei is the Red Oni being a tomboy with Fiery Redhead and dark skin with a energetic and boisterous personality. Yuri is the Blue Oni being a Girly Girl with blue raven hair and pale skin being more of a Yamato Nadeshiko with Kawaiiko tendencies. Many of the Lovely Angels teams who followed in their footsteps share a similar Red Oni-Blue Oni dynamic.

Stalker with a Crush

Stalker with a Crush: The episode "My Boy in Rose Color" featured a young Bishōnen rich boy obsessed with Yuri. After falling in Love at First Sight, he had observed her from a distance, and built a robot based on what he believed her to be like (which was very, very different than she actually was). Yuri gets drafted to replace the robot after Kei accidentally destroys it when the boy took it out for a date. (The boy's father donates 14 percent of the funding the 3WA receives from civilians, so they're very interested in keeping him happy.) Yuri eventually tried to convince him to stop believing in his false impressions of what she was like. She hoped that by doing this, he would then learn to fall in love with the real Yuri. Unfortunately for Yuri, this just ended his crush on her... at which point he began a relationship with a girl who had been a Stalker with a Crush for him. Yuri was not happy about this result.

Gambit Roulette: In the second miniseries, Shasti uses a multi-layer roulette to pull off The Caper by metaphorically or literally seducing a succession of patsies to get what she needs to go forward, then eagerly and sadistically murdering each of them as soon as they had outlived their usefulness. The Angels only get on her trail when Kei sees her in a crowd at random and goes on a Roaring Rampage of Revenge.

One TV episode ("Something's Amiss!

The con man tries to betray the Angels so he can flee with the money, but they see it coming, and he and the kingpin are left helplessly watching it all burn.

The beginning of "Pink Sniper" has the episode's villain, Murderous Monica (the titular "Pink Sniper"), kill android doubles of both of the girls as practice for killing the real deals. Finally, "My Boys in Rose Color" has Julian hanging out with a mecanical doll of Yuri. Which shocks Kei when she accidentally decapitates it, setting up the episode's plot.

Bathtub Scene: Several, both girls enjoy baths and showers. The most prominent one being in the movie Project EDEN, with Kei and Yuri find a functioning bathing chamber while exploring an old abandoned factory. Happy at a chance to wash up they promptly start singing and flung out of their clothing and start taking a bubble bath side by side while singing, with their bodies covered by Censor Suds up to their shoulders. It's soon interrupted by Carson (who was peeping on them through the Air-Vent Passageway) ends up Landing in Someone's Bathtub and soon after they're all attacked by alien monsters and have to run away in only their towels.

Absent Aliens: There is faster-than-light travel and humans have colonized the whole galaxy, but there are hardly any aliens. Granted, this trope isn't completely dominant; Mughi is a Coeurl, and the Pair fights a giant, humanoid alien creature in episode 3 of the TV series. There are also two exceptions outside the series: The OVA "Affair of Nolandia" does have alien ruins and the technology that resides within, and in Project EDEN a scientist uses a dormant piece of an alien in his experiments. Every other piece of technology or strange creature you see is man-made.

Idiosyncratic Episode Naming: Dirty Pair Flash has a different naming pattern for each of its three parts: The first part's episode titles are follow this pattern: <English adjective> Angel. (The last episode is titled "Lovely Angels", plural.) The second part's episode titles are in mixed Japanese kanji, katakana, and romaji/English, and contain at least one English word each. (e.g. "キラキラ純愛 Flower Shop", or "Sparkling Flower Shop of Love".) The third part's episode titles follow this pattern: <color name in Japanese or English> ? <noun in Japanese> [<approximately the same noun in English>]. (e.g. "ピンクの狙撃手 (スナイパー)", or "Pink Sniper".)

After our suspects for the episode are introduced, the ship's captain complicates the plot by sabotaging everything, setting course toward a black hole, locking the ship's controls, and killing himself. The assassin — also a genius cryptanalyst — is the only one aboard who can save the ship. But who'll be alive by then?

The first time was as the capstone to an Indy Ploy plan — the Angels, suddenly caught by a group of guards after Kei sneezes, distract them by casually walking up to them while arguing loudly about each other's assets, then mug them for their uniforms. In an earlier episode, Yuri plays it exactly as the name says (this qualifies as Let's Get Dangerous! for Yuri). The first episode of the original OVA series has Yuri pull this simply by being a woman in a maximum-security prison where most of the inmates haven't seen a woman for years. All she has to do is stand hipshot, giggle, and run her hands seductively through her long hair, and a handful of guys run straight into an ambush.

comment
Secret Public Identity: Throughout the series the girls do nothing to hide their identities. On the other hand virtually no-one realizes just who they are until they check computer records — or someone uses that name. It's not like they look like anyone else (well there is one TV episode where they do... sorta).

comment
Grand Theft Me: One TV episode has the Angels hired by a space travel magnate to deliver a ransom to a woman who'd kidnapped his young heir; the Action Prologue for the episode has the "kidnapper" rescue him from an arranged marriage. The pair seem to be in love through most of the episode, but as soon as the Briefcase Full of Money is in her hands, she delivers a speech to her lover about how It Was All a Lie... until the briefcase gets knocked out of her hands. The briefcase also carried a device that let the magnate's secretary(/mistress/Dragon) take over the woman's body as the finale of a Batman Gambit to break the couple up. (See Time Dilation for what happens next.)

Heritage Face Turn: The galaxy-wide criminal conspiracy "Lucifer" had one particular method to make sure that all of its members were fanatically loyal: they were ALL related by blood. A few of the times that it appeared in the novels, such, all they had to do was drop the "Luke, I Am Your Father" card on the Victim of the Week to make them despair about whether or not to join (and some did).

All Part of the Show: In OVA episode 2, a rogue combat robot begins launching missiles during a Halloween fireworks display in Elenore City Park, and the audience mistakes the missile explosions for fireworks (as do the pyrotechnicians themselves: "Whoa, when did we send up that really big one?") Kei and Yuri borrow some of the rockets and use them to kill the robot — earning even more applause from the crowd in the park below.

Title Confusion: The Movie was released in Japan as Dirty Pair: The Movie, but virtually everyone in North America — including ADV Films and Nozomi — calls it Project EDEN, after the Mad Scientist villain's master plan. It's understandable since the Battle Butler literally bangs a gong after Professor Wattsman says the magic words.

Even with all the enemies he makes in the course of the picture, he and his butler Bruno get to survive the climactic showdown and continue to cultivate humanity's chosen successor.

His blunders (he has enthusiasm, but little else) manage to get Kei captured, Strapped to an Operating Table, and about to relive the laser scene from Goldfinger before Yuri can come to their rescue.

Although Yuri is able to Do in the Wizard of the miracles performed by the cultists and their god (a cult member chosen to be uploaded to a Master Computer), the self-styled deity doesn't see any contradiction. Kei is just on the warpath because two handsome Guy of the Week get Stuffed in the Fridge in less than 20 minutes.

Worthless Treasure Twist: Subverted in episode 15. A treasure hunter looking for treasure in the ruins of an alien planet has hired Kei and Yuri to help him find the treasure and fight off a rival treasure hunter in exchange for a share of the profits. It turns out that the treasure is a piece of paper with writing in the alien language, which Kei and Yuri can't read but the treasure hunter can. He claims that it says is "there is a value in cooperating with each other", referring to it taking three people to open the door to the room where it was. Yuri comments that "this is the typical ending to a treasure hunt". However, the writing was actually instructions on how to use some Lost Technology and thus highly valuable; the treasure hunter lied about it to avoid paying them. He does later send them flowers — an entire roomful of roses.

Kei manages to escape with a Shut Up, Hannibal! speech (mostly about being sure that the real Yuri wouldn't just abandon her even if she was damned to Hell.)

Can't Bathe Without a Weapon

Can't Bathe Without a Weapon: In Episode 18, Kei and Yuri get the drop on a target while he was bathing but he surprises them by pulling a machine gun from out of the water and opening fire. In the Project Eden film, Yuri and Kei keep their guns right beside their tubs as they bathe and end up threatening Carson with it after he interrupted them. This comes in handy since they're attacked by monsters shortly after.

Shown Their Work: The authors actively consulted NASA research for the portrayal of the effects of vacuum in "Dangerous Acquaintances". The method of stellar destruction in "Fatal But Not Serious" was based off astrophysicist Iosif Shklovsky's "mining graser" concept.
