Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })Bloody Roar: The Fang is an obscure manga series adapted from the Bloody Roar video game series drawn by Maruyama Tomowo, and was originally published in Monthly Shonen Jump. The manga series featured a whole new cast of characters (a lot of them being lookalikes of characters from the games), and a setting fairly distant from the games, but the core elements remain the same: There exist humans who are able to turn into beasts, who are known as zoanthropes, and the Tylon corporation is out to exploit their powers. In this setting: Mashiro Toba goes with a supernatural investigator, "Fang", to prevent any disasters relating to zoanthropes from occurring, including any further experiments by her professor, Hashiba, who had experimented on her in the first chapter. The plot gets more elaborate as the story goes on. There are two volumes available, with six chapters each.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); })While the story never directly crossed with the continuity of its source material, it did have a bonus chapter that was featured in the promotional Bloody Roar Extreme V-Jump book, featuring Fang and Mashiro in the setting of Bloody Roar Extreme (or Primal Fury) and even teaming up with Yugo and eventually taking on Geisha.The series was never released outside of Japan, nor was it ever localized. The wiki pages themselves don't have a whole lot of information available as of this writing. However, SCXCR, the man behind the Bloody Roar Retrospective had taken it upon himself to do his best to summarize the story as he went, discussing the characters, plot details, and even got into the few quirky moments that transpired. If you've got one hour to spare, you may watch his review and summary of the story here. For those who are going to seek out the series, there are two different versions. The two individual volumes that have six chapters each, and the 400+ page compilation book that contains all the chapters. The former contains extra pages at the back of of each chapter where the creator discusses the manga, whereas the latter featured the previously mentioned bonus chapter.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_1'); })

Sword of Plot Advancement: Lion-Head provides Fang a pair of Wolf-Gang Silver gloves that allow him to knock any zoanthrope out of beast-form with a well-placed punch. Conveniently, he receives these when facing an unflinching zoanthrope.

Punch! Punch! Punch! Uh Oh...: Fang attempted to fight a Turtle Zoanthrope by punching the shell. It works as well as you'd expect. Thankfully, Lion-Head came prepared. See Sword of Plot Advancement below. He does the same thing to Oagito. Even with the Wolf Gang Silver, it's not enough to take him out.

You Are Not Alone: Fang later insists on taking on Hashiba and his gang alone after failing to protect the pieces he collected. Mashiro beats the crap out of him, helps him realize his potential to pull off a Beast Drive, and decided to hug it out.

Expy: A handful to list, mostly in terms of appearance. Fang the wolf is one to Yugo Ogami. His real name is even similar, "Yuuga". Unlike Yugo in later games, he retains his brawler fighting style. Mashiro is similar to Alice, in which she can transform into a rabbit. The similarities become more obvious with the extra pages after chapter 2 where she is in a nurse's outfit, mirroring Alice's occupation after the first game. Akino is similar to Uriko in which she has a half-beast form. Unlike Uriko, she starts off with an actual cat form. Shirakumo(?) looks just like Long, and has a tiger form. Lion-Head is similar to Gado, with some shades of Stun in that he always appears in his lion form. There are also a pair of insect Zoanthropes in the last chapter who look heavily similar to Stun.

Crossover: The promotional Bloody Roar Extreme V-Jump book, and the bonus chapter of the compilation book features Fang and Mashiro in the same setting as Bloody Roar Extreme/Primal Fury, and teaming up with Yugo. Logically, Fang makes an appearance in Bloody Roar Extreme (Gamecube in Japan, and Xbox in the US and Europe) as a hidden character, who plays a lot like Yugo in the first Bloody Roar game with some new moves.
