Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })The year is 1614. The Shogun Tokugawa Ieyasu is old and sick yet not senile, and war is about to erupt between the numerous noble factions that want to see one of his grandsons, either Takechiyo or Kunichiyo, as the heir. To settle this, each group will be represented by two very powerful Ninja sects, the Kouga Manjidani (chosen to support Kunichiyo) and the Iga Tsubagakure (chosen to fight for Takechiyo), who will "compete" for their cause. However, there is a BIG problem.The heirs of each group, Kouga Gennosuke and Iga-no-Oboro, are... engaged. Have actually been for at least ten years. Unlike other arranged couples, though, they're very much in love and were very willing to tie the knot. And this engagement was settled many years ago specifically to bring peace among their clans, who have been bitter enemies for years. So, after the shaky truce is shattered, what will Oboro and Gennosuke do, as their warriors start fighting and killing each other with glee?Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); })Fully titled Basilisk: The Kouga Ninja Scrolls, this manga was authored by Masaki Segawa and published by Kodansha in Japan in 2003 and 2004, based on the historical fantasy novel The Kouga Ninja Scrolls by Futaro Yamada, published in 1958, which also inspired Ninja Scroll. The anime, produced in 2005 by GONZO Studios, closely follows the manga apart from a few differences. The manga also won the 2004 Kodansha Manga Award for general manga.Basilisk is followed by a sequel manga, The Yagyu Ninja Scrolls, though it features only a few characters from Basilisk among an otherwise all-new cast of characters. Another sequel — the anime series Basilisk: The Ouka Ninja Scrolls — was released by Kodansha in 2018.Interestingly, doesn't include any actual Basilisks; the title is metaphorical. | |

Evil Versus Evil | |
Basilisk (Manga) / int_1645005b | comment |
Evil vs. Evil: In a nutshell, the story is basically an evil clan of ninja (the Kouga) versus a slightly MORE evil clan of ninja. (the Iga) In fact, outside of Oboro and Gennosuke, the only one who doesn't show any signs of sadism or bloodlust is Hyoma Muroga. | |

Bishōnen: Gennosuke and Yashamaru. The latter is even described as 'very handsome' in the original novel's character sheet. Hyouma, though he's more of a biseinen since he's older than both of them. He fits much more in the anime's backstory, where he's in his late teens/very early 20's. | |

Adaptation Expansion: The anime in itself follows the manga rather closely but gives more room for Character Development, also expanding the backstories of several characters (particularly Gyoubu). The same goes for the novel the manga/anime is based on. The anime expands considerably on it as well. | |

Parental Abandonment: Gennosuke was raised by his grandfather Danjo and his maternal uncle Hyouma since his parents died when he was a child. Oboro's parents are also dead, so she was raised by a nanny and then by Ogen. Out of the other Iga and Kouga, only Gyoubu's father Kasumi Renbu is mentioned, and he's dead. | |

Amazonian Beauty | |
Basilisk (Manga) / int_2a3e0069 | comment |
Okoi from the Koga ninjas is gorgeous in an Amazonian Beauty way, and at some point she's seen naked. The reason why she's in the buff, however, is that she's been captured by the Iga ninjas and almost completely at their mercy. It's much, MUCH worse when she's fighting her way to freedom... but when she attacks Mino Nenki, he fights back and the still naked Okoi dies via being becoming a Human Pincushion. | |

Murder the Hypotenuse: Kagerou is dead set on killing Oboro so she can have Gennosuke. Much more in the anime than the manga, though. Tenzen also wants to kill Gennosuke so he can have Oboro as his puppet wife, which would grant him full control of the Iga Tsubagakure. | |

Woman Scorned | |
Basilisk (Manga) / int_4063acfd | comment |
Woman Scorned: Hotarubi ( after Yashamaru's death), to the maximum degree. Kagerou on the other hand, is one of the most tragic examples ever, and with a much longer indication of dwelling under the shade of this trope. For most of her life she has been bitter that despite her worthy lineage, her inherited abilities keep her from getting too close to Gennosuke. The twist of the knife comes when he is set up to marry Oboro, the heir of the hated Iga clan... and is more than willing to do so. She manifests her hurt through her desire to kill Oboro and her clan once the truce has been dissolved, and she has Gennosuke promise that he himself will take Oboro's life. On her weaker moments she tends to be suicidal and wants Gennosuke to die with her, and Gennosuke has to use his powers against her. The worst of these moments comes when, in near death after experiencing so much tragedy and personal torture from the Iga, she witnesses Gennosuke refusing to kill Oboro, breaking his promise to her. Though Gennosuke chooses to take Kagerou with him, she knows she cannot have the life with him that she wanted so much, and she has gone through the Despair Event Horizon; so she attempts to kill Gennosuke so that they may both die together.. And then Oboro's eyes are unsealed and dispel Kagero's poison, derailing her desperate plan right before she succumbs to her injuries and dies. Oboro averts this trope for still believing in and struggling to understand Gennosuke after he (apparently) turns his back on her and after all the tragedies she has experienced from his clan, for trying to help Kagero after learning of the savage torture she's been put through, and for letting Gennosuke choose to leave her and take Kagerou with him. | |

Grey and Grey Morality: There are unpleasant, overzealous characters on either side of the clan war as well as decent people, and while the Iga have Big Bad Tenzen, he's working more for his own self-interests than for the clan. The Day In The Limelight episode also shows that the people behind the clan war are resorting to drastic measures to keep the two noble houses vying for the throne from killing each other. | |

Though you'd THINK he'd be expecting her to try and murder him at the first opportunity, given the Rape as Drama entry... That, and she also derailed Ofuku's gambit by commiting suicide rather than killing Gennosuke. Almost, since Gennosuke made sure the Igas would be pronounced victorious and then killed himself, but it still was a neat way to throw Ofuku's crap back at her, since it gave her a spectacular Villainous Breakdown. | |

Later Tenzen captures and rapes Kagerou, so she has her revenge by poisoning him and snapping his neck... but he survives thanks to his own powers, to re-capture and savagely torture her) | |

In the Iga group, there's Hotarubi. Even insinuate her fiance Yashamaru might have another girl and she'll scare the shit outta you with just a Death Glare. | |

Basilisk (Manga) / int_69681e01 | comment |
Big Brother Instinct: When Okoi was tortured and killed by the Iga, her older brother Saemon threw himself fully and furiously into the Iga/Kouga feud. And even before this, the Kougas knew that doing something bad to Okoi was a Bad Idea. | |

Hotarubi brutally stabbing Shougen in an Unstoppable Rage for not receiving the answer she needed about Yashamaru, Saemon's specially messy murder of Hotarubi herself, how Saemon and Kagerou manipulate the blinded Koshirou and kill him, Akeginu stabbing Hyouma's remains in grief for Koshirou's death, Saemon and Kagerou's murder of Akeginu, etc. | |

Meaningful Name | |
Basilisk (Manga) / int_6bda9a30 | comment |
Meaningful Name: The anime's titular namesake, the Basilisk, is a mystical creature said to be able to kill any who meet its gaze. Eye contact is the most powerful asset that the main characters have: Gennosuke can reverse the murderous intent of any who meet his eye, thus forcing them to kill themselves; and Oboro can neutralize the ninja arts of any who meet her gaze. | |

FanService | |
Basilisk (Manga) / int_6bf93fc7 | comment |
Fanservice: Akeginu fights topless whenever she can manage it, due to the nature of her powers. Okoi has a fight wearing nothing but a skimpy vest. Hotarubi is mostly covered, but manages to rip her kimono and expose her legs before one fight. Kagerou has her fair share of nudity, and Oboro has a little. Of all female ninja, only the crone Ogen remains (mercifully) clothed, except for a blink-and-you'll-miss-it almost-striptease in her rendezvous with former lover Danjo in the first episode. Kasumi Gyoubu is really muscular and has to strip naked when using his power (merging himself with solid objects). He takes care of fanservice for the ladies pretty much by himself. | |

Stock Ninja Weaponry: Many characters employ kunai daggers and tanto. We also have Gennosuke and Tenzen (katana), Nenki (a long nunchaku that can turn back into a pole), Jubei (an Aikuchi dagger hidden in his esophagus), Koshiro (two kama) and also Danjo Koga (needles). | |

Basilisk (Manga) / int_6d332aea | comment |
Driven to Suicide: Oboro prefers to kill herself rather than killing Gennosuke and continue as a puppet of Ofuku. And after she dies, Gennosuke drives a whole squad to kill themselves, then stabs himself to death. Gennosuke's power is this trope. He has to power to reflect the killing intent of anyone going up against him back at them, which causes them to kill themselves instead. | |

In the anime, Tenzen captures and savagely tortures Kagerou after she opts to murder Oboro in her sleep rather than run away to reunite with Gennosuke; if she had not stopped to kill Oboro, she would have been somewhat more likely to avoid him. Later, the very same princess whom Tenzen broke so much through the whole series is the key behind his (final) death. | |

Lovecraftian Superpower | |
Basilisk (Manga) / int_77a5657 | comment |
Lovecraftian Superpower: The various ninja talents tend towards these: Kazamachi Shougen has a grotesquely elongated tongue which he uses to spray webbing-like mucus, as well as the ability to secrete slime from hands and feet that let him travel on his webbing, just like the spider he resembles. Udono Jousuke has Rubber Man powers, allowing him to inflate himself like a balloon, squeeze his entire (considerable) bulk through the bars of a cell, or catch a katana harmlessly in the flabby folds of a cheek. Jimushi Juubei uses a super-long, snake-like tongue to dispatch victims with a dagger concealed inside his throat. Okoi can leech blood from whoever she touches. Kagerou exhales poisonous miasma when sexually aroused. Yakushiji Tenzen has a parasitic twin in his body that "eats" his wounds, allowing him to resurrect. Azuki Rousai is also a Rubber Man, which he uses to extend his limbs and neck to reach opponents from further away. Mino Nenki has Prehensile Hair over his entire body. Amayo Jingoru can use salt to mutate himself into a repulsive, slimy slug-man. Akeginu can squirt blood from her skin to create a blinding mist. | |

Arranged Marriage | |
Basilisk (Manga) / int_80621707 | comment |
Kagerou on the other hand, is one of the most tragic examples ever, and with a much longer indication of dwelling under the shade of this trope. For most of her life she has been bitter that despite her worthy lineage, her inherited abilities keep her from getting too close to Gennosuke. The twist of the knife comes when he is set up to marry Oboro, the heir of the hated Iga clan... and is more than willing to do so. She manifests her hurt through her desire to kill Oboro and her clan once the truce has been dissolved, and she has Gennosuke promise that he himself will take Oboro's life. On her weaker moments she tends to be suicidal and wants Gennosuke to die with her, and Gennosuke has to use his powers against her. The worst of these moments comes when, in near death after experiencing so much tragedy and personal torture from the Iga, she witnesses Gennosuke refusing to kill Oboro, breaking his promise to her. Though Gennosuke chooses to take Kagerou with him, she knows she cannot have the life with him that she wanted so much, and she has gone through the Despair Event Horizon; so she attempts to kill Gennosuke so that they may both die together.. And then Oboro's eyes are unsealed and dispel Kagero's poison, derailing her desperate plan right before she succumbs to her injuries and dies. | |

Evil Matriarch: Lady Ofuku. Not exactly Takechiyo's mother (she's his wet nurse and nanny), but her devotion to him and thirst for power are equally fierce, and she'll stop at nothing to see her adoptive son as the heir of the Tokugawa shogunate. In the anime, Takechiyo's birth mother Princess Oeyo also counts, having arranged poor Takechiyo's death via an odd poison to favor his brother Kunichiyo. | |

Okoi uses this, but in her own terms: she's a rough tomboy who wears short hakama and low-cut tops, since her powers involve absorbing people's blood through skin contact. | |

What Measure Is a Non-Human?: There is a clear tendency for the more grotesque ninja (Juubei, Shougen, Rousai...) to die first. The old people are the first two to die. So quickly, in fact, you might forget to count them in the 10 warriors from each side. And I think the Bishounen Yashamaru goes down in the third episode. | |

Basilisk (Manga) / int_bdc453a0 | comment |
Incest Subtext: Saemon and Okoi have a rather strange romantic chemistry, despite the fact that they are a brother and sister and the work constantly reminds us of this. In particular, when the excited Hotarubi runs to him, taking him for her lover, she immediately reminds Saemon about his sister... | |

Unlucky Childhood Friend: In the novel, Kagerou is said to be in love with Gennosuke since they were kids. Her poisonous powers (which are inherited in her side of the family; her Missing Mom also had them) developed when she was a teenager, though, and that's one of the reasons why she can't marry him. | |

Subversion: Saemon Kisaragi thinks it's not in him to harm a woman if he can help it, but even then, he kills Hotarubi very bloodily, since she had a part in the demise of his dead little sister. Not to mention, almost half of the Iga and Kouga warriors are females, and they all die very messily. | |

Fan Disservice | |
Basilisk (Manga) / int_c660bc15 | comment |
Fan Disservice: Okoi from the Koga ninjas is gorgeous in an Amazonian Beauty way, and at some point she's seen naked. The reason why she's in the buff, however, is that she's been captured by the Iga ninjas and almost completely at their mercy. It's much, MUCH worse when she's fighting her way to freedom... but when she attacks Mino Nenki, he fights back and the still naked Okoi dies via being becoming a Human Pincushion. Kagerou is maybe the most beautiful of the Kogas, but she's also a Poisonous Person who can weaponize Death by Sex. When Tenzen survives her attacks,there's a very detailed view of Kagerou's gorgeous body... but this happens when Tenzen has re-captured her to subject her to Cold-Blooded Torture via shooting her in the torso with needles when she's bound and completely helpless, causing her to scream in utter pain. And it's made even more terrible when Oboro attempts to reason with Tenzen so he'll stop abusing poor Kagerou... and Tenzen replies via pining Oboro down and trying to rape her to see if this will trigger Kagero's powers upon being Forced to Watch. Ewwwwww. | |

Magical Eye: Gennosuke's eye technique turns his enemies' evil intent against themselves. Oboro too has her own eye technique. Even though it isn't as sinister as Gennosuke's, it's still powerful enough to render any other technique completely useless. | |

Hoist by His Own Petard: In the anime, Tenzen captures and savagely tortures Kagerou after she opts to murder Oboro in her sleep rather than run away to reunite with Gennosuke; if she had not stopped to kill Oboro, she would have been somewhat more likely to avoid him. Later, the very same princess whom Tenzen broke so much through the whole series is the key behind his (final) death. Sure, Tenzen. Go ahead and attempt to rape the ONLY PERSON IN THE WORLD CAPABLE OF NULLIFYING YOUR RESURRECTION POWERS. I'm sure this will result in Rape Is Love rather than your ugly demise. | |

In the flashback episode, Yashamaru actually discourages her from EVER taking part in a battle. Insisting that it would be a shame if someone like her were to ever smell of blood. | |

The Plan | |
Basilisk (Manga) / int_e851b5 | comment |
The Plan: Tenzen pulls some of these through the series. We later find out that the destruction of the truce is the result of a BIG one of his', bordering on Gambit Roulette, that was this close to leave him as the pretty much last warrior standing in both clans, with Oboro as his puppet wife and as Man Behind the Man for the next shogun. People like Danjou, Ogen, Gennosuke and Hyouma are also capable of these. | |

Clingy Jealous Girl: As mentioned, anime!Kagerou takes this to the biggest, more dangerous extremes, and that is the key to her downfall. It's not like she's doing it without any reason other than wanting Gennosuke for herself... too bad her sad backstory was only explained in the original novel. In the Iga group, there's Hotarubi. Even insinuate her fiance Yashamaru might have another girl and she'll scare the shit outta you with just a Death Glare. | |

Evil Plan | |
Basilisk (Manga) / int_f2d8e3c2 | comment |
Evil Plan: The entire plot was this by the shogun; he couldn't possibly lose. The mother and nanny of his grandsons Takechiyo/ the future Iemitsu and Kunichiyo/ the future Tadanaga were in a contest for behind-the-scenes influence of the heir that was turning violent. He wanted to prevent more assassination attempts now, and spare the samurai lives that would be lost if the grandsons grew up to fight for inheritance. So he arranged for ninjas lives to be lost instead, offering pardons and gainful employment to the winner between two clans who already passionately wanted each other dead. The ninjas who die are fewer ninjas to worry about, the ones who live would have the cunning to remove the winning nanny. The clan heads were smart enough to know just how they were being used, but their hatred for each other was too great; the rewards for winning was just icing on the cake. | |

Missing at the very least. It's implied that she sort of knows, but she's eager to believe that he's alive. Of course, the AUDIENCE knows that he's already dead... | |
