Bastard!!: Heavy Metal, Dark Fantasy (subtitled Ankoku no Hakaishinnote "The Dark God of Destruction" in Japanese) is a 1988 manga created by Kazushi Hagiwara for Shueisha's Weekly Shonen Jump (and eventually moved to Ultra Jump).Set in a post-apocalyptic Earth where monsters and magic are the rule of the day, the main setting is the kingdom of Meta-llicana, threatened by a vast army of mages and their pawns who are trying to wake the sleeping god of destruction, Anslasax.This series is centered on the virginal (this is a plot point, in fact) priestess Tia Noto Yoko and her adoptive brother, Luche Renlen. What she finds out is that Luche contains within him the spirit of one of the most powerful sorcerers of all time, the infamous Exploder Wizard... Dark Schneider! Only a spell capped with a kiss from a virgin can unlock the spirit within Luche and save the kingdom!Now, this all sounds pretty much standard fantasy fare. The fun comes from some of the differences from the standard. Dark Schneider, when released, explains that he was killed by Yoko's father, and will kill the man in return. He also is the quintessential egomaniac — one of his better speeches is:Dark Schneider is ruthless, promiscuous, arrogant and unstoppably powerful, but he's really less a Manipulative Bastard than a force of sheer chaos.Add in the other villains who turn into antiheroes when defeated by Dark Schneider, and the amusement value of many of the spells and locations which are named after '80s metal bands (Dark Schneider himself was named after Udo Dirkschneider from Accept, the country of Judas Priest, the samurai of the Iron Maiden who are fighting to avenge King Harris, knights named Bon Jovina and Lars Ul Meta-llicana, the extremely powerful spells Exodus and Megadeath...) and you get a romp. Because of a potential blatantly ludicrous licensing fee to use them all, these names had to be all changed in the American release. The manga has been released in the US (with quite a good translation) up to volume 19 (though at present, it seems Viz Media has abandoned the series).The series received an OVA in 1992, produced by Shueisha themselves as well as Geneon Entertainment and animated by AIC, Geneon's American division later released and dubbed the OVA in 1998. It's six episodes long, and only goes through the first three collections of the manga (which is currently up to volume 27), so it ends with a "Hey, what now?"In February 2022, Warner Bros. Japan announced that Bastard!! would be receiving a new anime adaptation consisting of 24 episodes, with animation by Liden Films and will be distributed by Netflix worldwide. The first cour (first 13 episodes, which covered the same material as the first 5 episodes of the 1998 OVA, while adding back in material that was skipped between episodes 3 and 4 of the OVA) became available for streaming on June 30th, while the second cour (episodes 14-24, covering the rest of the story up until volume 8) becoming available for streaming on September 15th.The second season of the anime was announced in January 2023 and premiered on July 31st, 2023, consisting of 15 episodes. It adapts the Hell's Requiem arc of the story.Here's the February 10th, 2022 teaser trailer, the June 15th trailer for the first half, and the September 8th trailer for the second half.A character sheet is under construction.See also Guilty Gear, for a similar concept that took heavy inspiration from this manga, but set in a futuristic world. | |

Brainwashed and Crazy: Abigal and Kall-Su were both infected with Anthrasax's cells, making them thralls to her will. Porno Dianno. She's actually the Archangel Gabriel, who lost badly to Satan in the backstory and was captured and turned evil. Dark Schneider snaps her out of it and she develops a huge crush on him as a result | |

Deadly Road Trip: The PS1 game is an odd variety of this in dungeon crawler form. Yoko gets kidnapped by a blue skinned DS imposter and put the four kings under his control, it's up to DS to travel around pick up all of his, Kal's and Nei's generals (who all are apparently alive and somewhat willing to work together) and travel to a bunch of weird places to save the day. | |

Breaking the Fourth Wall: Just about every character breaks a fourth wall or two. Hagiwara himself did this by putting little captions where he took a piss at some of the ridiculous things he came up with, his character's actions within the story, or just his own bad habits. | |

Aborted Arc | |
| Bastard!! (1988) (Manga) / int_23698fa8 | comment |
Aborted Arc: Apparently, the drafts for several arcs were damaged/lost, so Hagiwara just skipped ahead. Volume 18 ends with DS fighting Porno Diano and a bizarre interlude with a host of angels watching the gates of Hell break open (IN SPACE). Volume 19 jumps ahead 4 years with DS and the Angels battling the Demons. The missing arcs were finally being released by 2010. The 6-episode series was supposed to be a full 8 covering the completion of the first arc and a battle between DS and Kall Su. | |

| Bastard!! (1988) (Manga) / int_4f84cdef | comment |
Smug Snake: Many of the early villains fall into this category, which makes it all the more satisfying when Darsch kills them. May also describe Beelzebub, who falls to pieces after his plan to kill DS fails abysmally. DS himself. I mean, come on, didn't you read the quotes in the article? Possibly justified since he's 400 years old, explodes things/people on a whim, and has yet to find a virgin he can't deflower. Also, the most epic mullet of all time. Ever. | |

Punny Name | |

Punny Name: Dark Schneider, named after Udo Dirkschneider. Most definitely not a Meaningful Name - while "Schneider" does mean "tailor" in German, it's also a perfectly normal surname (though it being a Meaningful Name would explain how he replaces all the outfits that get ripped/blown/burned off of him). | |

Megaton Punch | |
| Bastard!! (1988) (Manga) / int_b252f072 | comment |
Megaton Punch: All four Archangels have a variant. Conrone has a literal Megaton Punch, with his ultimate attack having the power of an atomic bomb (which, despite what such a description might imply, seems to be one of the weaker attacks in the series, compared to the main character, who can destroy galaxies). | |

Too Dumb to Live | |
| Bastard!! (1988) (Manga) / int_b58b4e3c | comment |
Too Dumb to Live: In episode 4, Yoko is chased by a monster to a cliff edge. She takes a step back and the edge crumbles, but she falls forward instead, thanking her luck. Then the monster scares her, and she steps back AGAIN, right onto the slope she'd previously made. | |

Incest Subtext | |
| Bastard!! (1988) (Manga) / int_bdc453a0 | comment |
Incest Subtext: All over the place, perhaps a case of Author Appeal. Yoko and and Luche are not biologically related, they most certainly are family, and when Luche becomes Dark Schneider, this attraction becomes explicit. Much more explicit, as stated before, Uriel is ESPECIALLY (!!!) fond of his little sister Amriel. Also explicitly present in D.S. and Arshes Nei's relationship...she is both his adopted daughter (raised from childhood!) and primary lover. | |

Missing Episode | |
| Bastard!! (1988) (Manga) / int_be8cb2da | comment |
Apparently, the drafts for several arcs were damaged/lost, so Hagiwara just skipped ahead. Volume 18 ends with DS fighting Porno Diano and a bizarre interlude with a host of angels watching the gates of Hell break open (IN SPACE). Volume 19 jumps ahead 4 years with DS and the Angels battling the Demons. The missing arcs were finally being released by 2010. | |

Shout-Out | |
| Bastard!! (1988) (Manga) / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: Good lord, where to start. A huge amount of names of characters and spells are named after music bands. In a redrawn volume DS has put several characters from other series in his harem, including Haruhi Suzumiya, Mikuru Asahina, Rider, and Rin Tohsaka. He also used a sharingan in his fight with Porno Dianno. Around volume 19, Uriel transforms itself to fight a demon. An effect of that transformation is one half of his body change colour. Dark Schneider starts mocking him, calling him -among other things- a Baron Ashura rip-off. In volume 18, Hagiwara recreates the album covers to Entombed's "Clandestine" and Human Remains' "Using Sickness As a Hero" as environs for his vision of hell. It works very well! | |

What the Hell, Hero? | |
| Bastard!! (1988) (Manga) / int_d39e327f | comment |
What the Hell, Hero?: In the first story arc of the manga (and in the anime), DS gets this a lot, and with good reason. While he's generally always one step away from being a Villain Protagonist, he causes ludicrous amounts of collateral damage to the castle and city he's supposed to protect. In the manga he goes as far as defeating a mutant cyclops with Healing Factor by vaporizing it with the magic equivalent of a hydrogen bomb, taking a good chunk of the city with it. In Yoko's words, "We were better off with the cyclops at this point!" | |

Refuge in Audacity | |
| Bastard!! (1988) (Manga) / int_d45c0b86 | comment |
Refuge in Audacity: Dark Schneider's main modus operandi, and an example: During his battle with Porno Dianno he let her rip his heart out, only to get close enough to kiss and fondle her boobs. And to check if she's a virgin (which she is if you're interested). Dark Schneider, the only man who can cause Demon Kings to have a Face Fault. Multiple times. | |

Art Evolution | |
| Bastard!! (1988) (Manga) / int_e43c66bd | comment |
Art Evolution: Hagiwara's art style has changed dramatically from when the manga began publishing in 1988. The older volumes are more akin to what he did for Kimagure Orange Roadnote He worked as creator Izumi Matsumoto's assistant before working on Bastard!!, while by the end of the 1990s his style was more typical of other contemporary anime. By the end of the 2000s the artwork had grown even more detailed and elaborate, leading to Scenery Porn (and Scenery Gorn) and Costume Porn. | |
