| Kagerou-Nostalgia (Manga) | comment |
So it says on the front of the first volume of Kagerou-Nostalgia: the Resurrection, a manga series by Satomi Kubo. Anyone who's picked up this book, is likely very confused as to just what on earth is going on. This is because Resurrection is actually the second half of the series. Unfortunately, it is the only half to be licensed for release in North America. The first half is available only online and in Japan. Further adding to the confusion, only the first few chapters (out of five volumes) have been uploaded onto most manga sites, making keeping up with the plot difficult at best. As a result, much of the information on this page will be largely conjecture.This is a pity, as Kagerou-Nostalgia is a rather well-written take on an old idea: that of resurrection and rebirth. When the series opens, we are in an AU of medieval Japan. Nearly eighty percent of the country has been conquered by General Kiyotaka Kuroda, and the remaining twenty percent is hard pressed to stay free and unoccupied. We are introduced to Kazuma Shudo, a 14-year old mercenary hired by one of the nations that is resisting Kuroda. A proficient swordsman (swordsboy?) Kazuma is able to use his spiritual power to fight Kuroda's armies of monsters and People Hunters, sadistic soldiers who live only to slaughter. As the story progresses, Kazuma is introduced to five other teenagers with similar abilities: Shiranui, Fuwa, Mizuki, Akira, and Goki. Gathered together by Princess Mio XI, they begin to realize that they all knew and fought alongside each other five hundred years ago and have since been reincarnated: a fact that makes them a target for Kuroda's mysterious master, Gessho Kuki/Shadow. | |

Dull Eyes of Unhappiness: Shiranui and Goki constantly feature these, as does Mizuki at Princess Mio XI's funeral. Kazuma had them pre-Character Development. | |

The Heart | |
| Kagerou-Nostalgia (Manga) / int_1badfb3a | comment |
The Heart: Akira. She's the weakest member of the group, and has the least experience with her spiritual pressure. She's also the most emotionally sensitive, and is concerned with the feelings of the other members. She has required help from both Shiranui and Kazuma to so much as activate her abilities, yet is still an integral part of the group. She even has the royalty connection thanks to her status as the reincarnation of Princess Mio I and is now serving as Hikami's figurehead. Despite his poor interpersonal skills, Shiranui plays this role in the team, with Kazuma, Fuwa, Mizuki, Akira, and Goki, all feeling an exceptionally strong attachment to him that helps bind them together as a unit. Given their reactions in flashbacks, it seems that Kagerou played a similar role on the original team. | |

The Rival: Kamui of Kai was the rival to Princess Mio I, competing with her for a leadership position. In the modern era, Kamui's descendent and reincarnation, Mizuki, is Kazuma's rival for leadership of the team. | |

The Stoic | |
| Kagerou-Nostalgia (Manga) / int_1c5002bc | comment |
The Stoic: Mizuki and Goki both have shades of this, with Goki being genuinely bereft of emotion, while Mizuki is cold as a concious choice. When Shiranui walks away from him at one point without explaining or saying a word Kazuma accuses him of "Pullin' a Mizuki." This is some time after Mizuki gave Kazuma a lecture on how life can only hurt you, if you choose to care about other people. Gessho appears to be a villainous version, complete with an inability to understand normal human emotions. This leads to a rather disturbing Not So Stoic moment during his conversation with Shiranui, one that crosses right into One-Winged Angel territory. | |

Crapsack World | |
| Kagerou-Nostalgia (Manga) / int_21d70919 | comment |
Crapsack World: The alternate version of feudal Japan that the kids inhabit sucks hard. Eighty percent of it is ruled by Kuroda, who allows his soldiers to butcher random villages just for the Hell of it. The rest of the country is poor, hard-pressed, and shrinking, relying on mercenaries and a few spiritually powerful children to maintain independence. Corrupt lords continue to support Kuroda and the People Hunts, whether openly or secretly. People who oppose the Hunts get arrested to avoid provoking him. And so far, the heroes haven't been able to change much. By Resurrection the clan they were trying to protect is all but destroyed, their army and infrastructure are in ruins, ( one of their own has betrayed them and killed their leader), another member is losing his mind from stress, and the group is scattered far and wide. They haven't even managed to kill a single major villain. Perhaps Kazuma puts it best: "In the end...we were powerless. Again. We fought like mad, but all that's ever left is the devastation." It's going to take a lot of effort before this world even remotely improves. | |

| Kagerou-Nostalgia (Manga) / int_21f3aa44 | comment |
Good Is Not Nice: Kazuma is a nearly insane mercenary when first introduced. Mizuki is a cold-blooded Jerkass. They're two of the most effective heroes in the setting, and as it turns out, aren't actually bad guys underneath it all. | |

Offing the Offspring | |
| Kagerou-Nostalgia (Manga) / int_27ab0123 | comment |
Offing the Offspring: Gessho seriously (as in grabs by the throat and starts throttling) contemplates killing Goki following the revelation that Goki is Shiretsu's reincarnation. He relents at the last minute and they hug instead. Of course, as flashbacks in Chapter 15 establish, they're not actually related. Fuwa's dad rather comically attempts this against him in a flashback. | |

Gender Bender: (Ranmaru). Hoo boy. Where to start. (Ran) was woman, who hated her own gender. So, when she signed on with Gessho she had him change her into a man, (Ranmaru). Sound simple enough? But wait: once a month he changes back into a woman for just one night. Did we mention that (her partner Rikimaru has a crush on the aforementioned woman?) Yeah, it's complicated like that. | |

The Smart Guy: Shiranui has many of the characteristics of this role. Out of the group he has the lowest spiritual pressure, but makes up for it with magic tattoos that protect him from corruption, a wide knowledge of demons and spirit power, and packing heat. He's probably the smartest member of the group, and serves as a White Mage, as he's also their healer. | |

Character Development | |
| Kagerou-Nostalgia (Manga) / int_3b113b7 | comment |
Character Development: All of the main cast have had some, but Kazuma is the best example. When he first appears he's an alienated, antisocial freak, who hates being touched and maintains an aloof, superior attitude as a means of emotional self-defence. By the first volume of The Resurrection, he's the leader of group, willingly holds Akira's hand to help her activate her spiritual powers, and has a vested interest in keeping both his friends and the Hikami Clan alive. He's also lost a lot of his angst, though none of the attitude. | |

Because Destiny Says So: The entire point of the series. You want to live in peace? Too bad, you're a reincarnated hero. Go save the world. Gessho takes this to a pathological degree, claiming it his destiny to annihilate the Hikami clan and our heroes. And since fate cannot be denied, he might as well do it. | |

Doomed Hometown: Kazuma is the sole survivor of the attack on his village. Also true for the town that he is first shown defending. To be fair to him, the second one would have been destroyed a lot sooner if it wasn't for his efforts. The town of Sufu, where Fuwa lives, also gets totalled. | |

Mysterious Past: Everything about Kagerou, and consequently, his descendent Shiranui, remains shrouded in mystery. Even the other protagonists know very little about him. | |

Ancestral Weapon | |
| Kagerou-Nostalgia (Manga) / int_454bda24 | comment |
Ancestral Weapon: Kidou's sword, Rai's spear, Kamui's bow, Shiretsu's naginata, and Kagerou's BFG, are all kept in a shrine in Hikami Castle, and are used in Chapter 8 to reawaken Kazuma and Fuwa's memories. So far, Kazuma, Fuwa, and Mizuki have all begun to use their respective ancestral weapons as their own. Shiranui has yet to pick up Kagerou's gun, and while Akira owns Princess Mio I's staff and fan she has no idea how to use them. Goki, in the meanwhile, uses Shiretsu's naginata in his murder of Princess Mio XI, then escapes with it. | |

Jerk with a Heart of Gold | |
| Kagerou-Nostalgia (Manga) / int_4781adbb | comment |
Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Kazuma, although it's initially very well hidden. More like psychotic Jerkass with a Heart of Gold, really. He's evolved into a more typical example by The Resurrection. Mizuki also falls under this, albeit from the opposite direction: he's cold, blunt, remote and tells himself that he really doesn't care about anyone else but himself, when in reality he actually cares a lot about the others, and especially Princess Mio XI. | |

Would Hurt a Child: Played very straight with Ranmaru and Rikimaru. If Lord Gessho wants you dead, they will kill you, no matter how old you are. Most of Kuroda's soldiers are similarly ruthless, with some taking great delight in killing those too young to fight back. | |

Smug Snake | |
| Kagerou-Nostalgia (Manga) / int_4f84cdef | comment |
Smug Snake: Mizuki's adopted father, Lord Mitsufusa Kamurogi, who suffers from a combination of overconfidence and thinking he's much smarter than he really is. Arriving in Hikami after Princess Mio's death he plots to seize control of it, using his own rank and impressive spiritual power, and Mizuki's current status as regent. It's not actually a bad plan, but Kamurogi forgets some key details: checking that there's no one else around with similar spiritual prowess, and making sure that Mizuki actually likes him enough to help him. End result, Kazuma, Akira, Mizuki and Fuwa run him out of town. | |

| Kagerou-Nostalgia (Manga) / int_50ed1af4 | comment |
Our Demons Are Different: They look human, albeit with some animalistic features, and are all working for Gessho or Kuroda. How they're being controlled hasn't really been addressed. Gessho seems to summon them from a dark void in the middle of his castle, and uses them to give orders to his monster armies. Many seem to have sexually perverse and/or cannabalistic tendencies. | |

Reincarnation: The premise of the series. Akira is the reincarnation of Princess Mio I, Kazuma of Kidou of Adumi, Mizuki of Kamui of Kai, Fuwa of Rai of Ryudou, Goki of Shiretsu of Kogami and Shiranui of Kagerou, the someone from Kouragi. All of them recall bits and pieces of their past lives, but not all. | |

Rape as Backstory | |
| Kagerou-Nostalgia (Manga) / int_524f94d3 | comment |
Rape as Backstory: Shimari is heavily implied to have done something to Kazuma, and the rather uncomfortable imagery in the flashbacks, coupled with Kazuma's issues with being touched would heavily suggest molestation, but it's never made entirely clear. | |

The Dragon | |
| Kagerou-Nostalgia (Manga) / int_53f5119f | comment |
The Dragon: Rikimaru, Ranmaru, Kuroda, and even Goki could all be seen as Gessho's Dragons, with Kuroda leading the army and serving as his figurehead while the other three protect him as bodyguards. Of them, Rikimaru and Ranmaru are probably the closest to the archetype, with Rikimaru having served Gessho the longest, and Ranmaru being slightly more obsessively loyal. Given that Gessho typically keeps Rikimaru with him while sending out Ranmaru to do the diry work it seems that Gessho at least considers Rikimaru to be his Dragon, even if story-wise the two of them more or less hold the role equally. | |

Apart from a minor scuffle in Volume 1 of The Ressurection they seem to get along quite well (and what's one instance of Domestic Abuse between genocidal villains?). | |

Mizuki, however, is the most obvious one, given his and Kazuma's diametrically opposing philosophies, and the fact that the chain of command isn't all that clear to begin with. | |

Cynicism Catalyst: Kazuma has got an epic case of this (even though she was his older sister). If you happen to even look at him the way his sister used to, expect violent retribution. Screaming, ranting, violent retribution. It's the entire reason he signs on with Shiranui in the first place. First Kazuma beats him up for looking like his sister, than he decides to protect him because he can't allow someone who so closely resembles her to die. | |

Uncanny Valley: Gessho Kuki. Seriously. Between the pupilless eyes, obsession with fate, lack of human emotional reactions, and utter calm with which he issues his orders there's just something off about that man. It's completely deliberate of course, especially given the revelation that he isn't human. Then again, Rikimaru and Ranmaru apparently aren't either and still manage to seem a lot more human than Gessho does. | |

Meaningful Name | |
| Kagerou-Nostalgia (Manga) / int_6bda9a30 | comment |
Meaningful Name: A few. Fuwa's means "Unbreakable" which fits quite nicely with his upbeat, indefatigable personality. Ranmaru's is the male version of a female name which provides a hint as to the character's past. Shiranui's name translates to "Unknown Fire", a good fit given the mystery surrounding his past and that of his previous incarnation. Also an in-universe example, as numerous characters (including, unfortunately, Gessho) have drawn attention to his name, and targeted him because of it. | |

Mizuki also falls under this, albeit from the opposite direction: he's cold, blunt, remote and tells himself that he really doesn't care about anyone else but himself, when in reality he actually cares a lot about the others, and especially Princess Mio XI. | |

Ineffectual Loner | |
| Kagerou-Nostalgia (Manga) / int_790a1a93 | comment |
Ineffectual Loner: Initially Kazuma, with some serious Loners Are Freaks overlap. He's deliberately isolated and antisocial, avoids human contact at all costs, and directs all his energies—to the point of obsession—towards slaughtering Kuroda's troops. He gets better though. Mizuki also starts out like this and has yet to fully break away from the attitude. | |

Nice Job Breaking It, Hero! | |
| Kagerou-Nostalgia (Manga) / int_7fbb2a3 | comment |
Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: Shiranui suffers through a particularly horrific one in the early chapters. He and Kazuma are staying with a woman whose husband left, planning to travel to the capital and assassinate Kuroda, leaving her and their daughter behind. The husband subsequently returns with a band of mercenaries and massacres the town; when his wife confronts him and accuses him of People Hunting, he does not seem to understand what she is talking about. Shiranui realises that the man has been tainted by the darkness in the capital and purifies him. ( Horrified by what he has done the husband promptly murders his wife and daughter, and then commits suicide while Shiranui looks on, unable to bring himself to stop the killing by shooting another human being.) Nice job breaking it, priest. | |

Arranged Marriage: Mizuki Kamurogi and Princess Mio XI. Judging from his devotion to her, willingness to serve as her right-hand man in Kagerou-Nostalgia, utter horror when (Goki murders her at the start of The Resurrection), and subsequent suicide attempt it was likely a Perfectly Arranged Marriage, at least on his part. | |

Before that he used a normal samurai sword...which on a 14-year old, is still freakin' huge. One of Kuroda's bodyguards carries an even bigger one, shaped like a six-foot meat cleaver. | |

Sliding Scale of Idealism vs. Cynicism: It ain't Berserk, but Kagerou-Nostalgia definitely leans towards the cynical end of the scale. Basically this story is what happens when you take your classic shonen protagonists and drop them off in a Crapsack World. So far they've achieved nothing of import and have lost far more then they've gained. Whether or not they can Earn Their Happy Ending remains to be seen. | |

The Man Behind the Monsters | |
| Kagerou-Nostalgia (Manga) / int_b3462e22 | comment |
The Man Behind the Monsters: Gessho again. He's the one supplying the demons who make up such a potent part of Kuroda's army, summoning them from the dark world to do his bidding. Of course, since Gessho himself is a Humanoid Abomination and not the man that he appears to be, this may be a subversion of sorts. | |

Axe-Crazy: Most of Kuroda's soldiers are written as such, and Kuroda himself is implied to be just as mad under his calm exterior. During the early chapters, Kazuma's rage issues made him come off this way, though he's since gotten better. | |

Love Triangle | |
| Kagerou-Nostalgia (Manga) / int_b7e0c5ff | comment |
Love Triangle: In the backstory there was one involving Princess Mio I, Shiretsu, Kidou, and Kagerou. Princess Mio I was in love with Kagerou, while Shiretsu and Kidou were both interested in her. This may play out in the present day, given Akira's crush on Shiranui, and some of her interactions with Goki and Kazuma. There's also the triangle between Princess Mio XI, her fiancee Mizuki, and her crush Shiranui. Shiranui is oblivious to the Princess' interest, seeing her as a friend, Mizuki loves the Princess but won't admit it to anybody, including himself, and Princess Mio XI loves Shiranui, while valuing Mizuki as little more than an aide de campe. | |

Child Soldiers | |
| Kagerou-Nostalgia (Manga) / int_c9c756a8 | comment |
Child Soldiers: Kazuma is the straightest example, operating as a mercenary since before his fourteenth birthday, but the main cast can all be seen in this light. Shiranui is a demon-killing priest at fifteen, ( Mizuki) is essentially Hikami's commander-in-chief by The Resurrection , Fuwa's been a ninja since his preteens and was a monster hunter before that, and Goki has been working for Gessho for almost as long. Even Akira is starting to have altogether too much experience with battlefields. They fall somewhere between the "Precociously Talented" and "Just Plain Tragic" types, having the skill of the former, but the horror and sense of futility associated with the latter. | |

Magnetic Hero: Not Kazuma, who is still far too antisocial for the role, but Shiranui. Kazuma, Fuwa, Princess Mio XI, and Akira are all willing to put themselves in tremendous danger just to help him out, and a pair of his friends once marched halfway across the country to return one of his guns to him. Even the villains display a strange interest in him, frequently puzzling over his name and/or trying to win him over. The only person who seems to be immune to whatever pheromone he's putting out is Mizuki. | |

This wasn't his goal actually (he was just trying to rebuild the ruined nation, and needed to give everyone someone to follow), but her words drive him over the edge, resulting in his attempted suicide. | |

Emotions vs. Stoicism: Fully present in the backstory, during the war between the Black/Yu and Scarlet/Hi Clans. The Yu Clan embraced emotion and selfishly doing what you wanted over anything else; the Hi Clan disciplined their emotions until they practically didn't have any. In the present, there is an ongoing debate between Kazuma and Mizuki on the subject, with Kazuma representing emotion and Mizuki stoicism. | |

Action Girl: ( Ran/Ranmaru) appears to have been one of these before her Gender Bender. She was one of the last survivors on a battlefield that had been utterly devastated by Gessho's troops, and managed to survive a bout against Rikimaru while she was still an unpowered human. That one battle was enough to convince Gessho that he wanted her as part of his forces. She was pretty good. From the looks of things the original Princess Mio was one as well. | |

The Hero: Kazuma Shudo. There may not be a full team in place, but Kazuma is definitely this. Somewhere between Kagerou-Nostalgia and The Resurrection Kazuma has gone from Shiranui's bodyguard to being the leader among the five kids, if not Hikami itself ( that remains Mizuki's job). Both Shiranui and Fuwa come to him to request leave, Akira turns to him for advice and leadership, and in combat situations he even gives orders to Mizuki. On top of that, he's the protagonist to boot. | |

Justified as magic was involved with Bima serving as the anchor for it. Generally speaking, the death of any major demon causes their monsters to turn on everyone around them. | |

The Mole: (Goki) is an especially damaging one. He became a key member of the group, playing on their shared past together to keep anyone from becoming suspicious, before (murdering Princess Mio XI on Gessho's orders, and abandoning the group as Hikami collapses around them.) Later chapters suggest that he at least partially regrets this, and his moral agency, as well as the sincerity of his initial turn, is all up in the air, given Gessho's constant manipulations of his emotions, both through words and magic. | |

| Kagerou-Nostalgia (Manga) / int_e913fe74 | comment |
Epic Flail: Ranmaru's weapon is somewhere between this and a spear. The staff can break apart while remaining joined by a chain. The Spear of Rai also exhibits properties of this, the blade can be launched and remains connected to the staff by a chain. | |

The Vamp | |
| Kagerou-Nostalgia (Manga) / int_eae41a | comment |
The Vamp: Bima, one of the demons from the first half, who attempts to seduce both Shiranui and Kazuma. Made worse given that they're in their teens and look younger, while she was at least (physically) her twenties or thirties. It almost works too, at least until Shiranui's tattoos kick in. | |

Jerkass | |
| Kagerou-Nostalgia (Manga) / int_eb8e4fa8 | comment |
Kazuma, although it's initially very well hidden. More like psychotic Jerkass with a Heart of Gold, really. He's evolved into a more typical example by The Resurrection. | |

0% Approval Rating: Excepting his wife, we've yet to meet anyone who actually likes Kuroda. Even Ranmaru and Rikimaru find him unpleasant, and they're working for Gessho. | |

The Starscream | |
| Kagerou-Nostalgia (Manga) / int_eedee4d | comment |
The Starscream: Kuroda seems to be somewhere between this and Bastard Understudy with regards to Gessho. He tells Yasha at one point that he wants all of Gessho's power for himself, and Rikimaru and Ranmaru clearly do not trust him. He also acts independently relatively frequently, and Yasha is clearly plotting against Gessho although Kuroda himself has yet to take a direct role in this. | |

Female Misogynist: Ranmaru to a degree, given her intense regret over having been born a woman, and her contempt for the gender as a whole. | |

Unskilled, but Strong: Kazuma in the early chpaters, where his spiritual power is tremendous, but his ability to utilise it is limited. | |

| Kagerou-Nostalgia (Manga) / int_fdad625e | comment |
Was Once a Man: Both Rikimaru and Ranmaru used to be human, but aren't anymore, to the point where exorcism techniques meant for demons work just as well on them. | |

Badass Preacher | |
| Kagerou-Nostalgia (Manga) / int_fea42091 | comment |
Badass Preacher: Shiranui is a priest (or perhaps more accurately a priest's apprentice). He's also about as badass as this setting allows any of its protagonists to be. Given Gessho's reaction to his ghost appearing during his interrogation of Shiranui, it's fair to estimate that his master was this as well. | |

Survivor Guilt | |
| Kagerou-Nostalgia (Manga) / int_feaf12e8 | comment |
Survivor Guilt: All of them have it to one degree or another, having outlived a mentor (Shiranui), a fiancee (Mizuki), a father (Fuwa), and a friend (Akira). Kazuma is the worst though, still blaming himself for surviving the massacre of his Doomed Hometown, as well as the subsequent carnage around him. | |

Pet the Dog | |
| Kagerou-Nostalgia (Manga) / int_ff7f34c5 | comment |
Pet the Dog: The genuinely saddened expression on Gessho's face when he meets The Monk of Ruin's ghost and realises that this means the monk (who would appear to have been his pupil and/or substitute child) is dead, helps to humanise an otherwise completely inhuman character. Kuroda gets a few moments like these with his own wife and daughter, while Gessho, Ranmaru, and Rikimaru get them with Goki. | |
