Kongoh Bancho ("Gang Leader Kongoh") is a shonen manga by Nakaba Suzuki that was serialized in Weekly Shonen Sunday magazine from 2007 to 2010 and compiled into 12 volumes. It stars high school student Akira Kongoh, a ten-to-twelve-foot-tall mountain of muscle with incredibly spiky Anime Hair, mile-wide shoulders, and a stare that could cut bread.After a series of misadventures involving a young girl named Hinako Sakura, who has a compulsion to take pictures of things that are "sooooo unusual" with her cell phone's camera, and her younger sister Tsukimi, in which he demonstrates his incredible strength and resilience (as well as his capacity for kindness and understanding), Kongoh reveals his reasons for his sudden appearance: He has come to stop something called "The 23 District Project". This involves people called "Bancho", people who have exceptional fighting skills as well as great amounts of charisma (and who can be identified by the dark red phoenix tattoo on the back of their neck), fighting for control of the 23 districts of Japan. (The word "bancho" itself is usually used to refer to the leader of a delinquent gang, and all Bancho wear Japanese school uniform jackets, in one form or another.) Whosoever conquers them all will be given control of Japan and will be able to mold its future to their liking.He later ends up defeating one of the Bancho - Iai Bancho, a master of iaijutsu. He is then told that defeating a bancho means you gain their territory and are now part of the 23 District Project, whether you want to be or not, and is given his new title by his defeated opponent: Kongoh Bancho.From there, it leads to awesome fights with The Power of Friendship causing Defeat Means Friendship to those who are defeated, while trying to stop the Big Bad and his Absurdly Powerful Student Council from destroying Japan's population. | |

The Worf Effect | |
| Kongoh Bancho (Manga) / int_178ca149 | comment |
The Worf Effect: Wolf Fang, a group made up of the seven remaining Banchous, is set up to be a reprise of the Five Dark Vows arc to reach the end of the 23 District Project. They get set up by the Dark Student Council, and all but the leader are taken down in a One-Hit Kill. That's not one shot each. TOTAL. | |

Artistic License – Biology | |
| Kongoh Bancho (Manga) / int_18aff462 | comment |
Artistic License – Biology: A couple of Bancho, such as Kangoku Bancho and Nenchaku Bancho. Machine Bancho's minions, on the other hand, are extremely confused when this trope goes into full effect. By the last arc of the series this trope becomes ridiculously prevalent. It butchers evolution, paleontology, cellular biology and everything else in-between. | |

Defeat Means Friendship: Kongoh makes friends with people after messing them up something fierce, even resulting in a Heel–Face Turn for Oyanana despite the fact that Kongoh didn't even touch him (though he sure scared the crap out of him). | |

Asskicking Leads to Leadership | |
| Kongoh Bancho (Manga) / int_1cc527d7 | comment |
For those who don't understand much about Japan or the Japanese language, calling someone a Bancho is basically the same as saying that they are the most badass person in their school and/or school district. And the only way to get this title is by kicking the ass of anyone and everyone who tries to take it. Basically, anyone who holds the title of Bancho has already established themselves thoroughly as the most badass individual in their district before even arriving on the scene, so just by hearing their name, you can expect moments of unrivaled badassery from them. | |

Übermensch: Ostensibly, the goal of the 23 District Project and its larger, nation-spanning expansion is to create one of these that will lead Japan into greatness. Whether the leader of this program Takeshi Kongou is an Übermensch himself or simply a Nietzsche Wannabe remains to be seen. | |

| Kongoh Bancho (Manga) / int_25bc8511 | comment |
Generation Xerox: Rai seems like this at first, but he's really not Kongou's son, but his nephew. Played straight anyway since he's not identical to Akira Kongoh but to Akira's brother, Takeshi Kongoh, who is his real father. They even share the same Catchphrase, quite improbable considering that Rai haven't even met his father. | |

Sorting Algorithm of Evil | |
| Kongoh Bancho (Manga) / int_323f135b | comment |
Sorting Algorithm of Evil: Subverted, as the Bancho Kongoh fights early in the story beat the crap out of ones that show up later on. Both played straight and subverted with Machine Bancho, who not only blows away all older Bancho, but also claims that he's at least as strong as Kongoh's older brother, one of the Big Bads. The Dark Student Council plays this straight, though it's not surprising since all of its members are the banchous who've come out on top in their own prefectures. As a testament to their strength, one was able to take out six Banchou with a One-Hit Kill, and later on defeat Ourou and Iai Banchou. The other one took on Nenbutsu, Gouriki, Hikyou and Sasori Banchou, losing only when Kongoh himself kicked his ass — and even then he still managed to escape. | |

Use Your Head | |
| Kongoh Bancho (Manga) / int_4873d055 | comment |
Use Your Head: In two different situations, Kongou was blackmailed into staying still while his opponent beat him, due to them holding one of his friends hostage. The first time this happened, the blackmailer specified "Don't move your arms or legs". Kongou used this trope and reminded them afterwards "That wasn't very smart at all". However, the second time this happened the blackmailer was savvy enough to tell him not to move his head either. | |

Combat Pragmatist | |
| Kongoh Bancho (Manga) / int_49fb5ccb | comment |
Combat Pragmatist: Hikyou Banchou. This guy is going to exploit every possible weakness and use any advantage he has to win. Hell he ends up making Kongoh get hit by a truck when he threw a rubber ball in the air which Kongoh (whose eyes were wounded by a earlier trick by Hikyou and could therefore not see well) saw as a grenade. | |

Huge Guy, Tiny Girl: Kongoh and the Sakura sisters, Gouriki Bancho and her minion sidekick Kairiki (she's also the shortest member of the team by far). Also the Kongou siblings' parents. Their dad is a man-mountain and their mom was normal-sized. It's best not to think how all 3 were conceived. | |

Crazy-Prepared: Hikyou Banchou takes the cake here. Seriously this guy is like a Japanese Batman. Before a fight he ends up giving a guy diarrhea by poisoning his food HOURS before the fight! Not to mention how much he is prepared to protect those he cares about He makes the orphans swallow pills that will nullify poison, has a freaking machine gun under his own fake arm (which a lot of people had assumed was real for quite some time) oh and he has a bomb in the shape of a kid just in case his enemy will take hostages. This guy is Batman with a penchant for using guns and explosives on people! | |

Artistic License – History: I was not aware America played a game with Britain so that they could declare their independence. Pretty much anytime there's a panel explaining the "history" of something, you can almost guarantee this trope is in full effect. It's probably a Running Gag more than anything else. | |

World's Strongest Man | |
| Kongoh Bancho (Manga) / int_5d9bdbb1 | comment |
World's Strongest Man: Kongoh gives the impression of being this. Then you meet Gouriki Bancho, though Kongoh beats her in the end. And then it turns out that Kongoh went easy on her because his full attacks would have knocked her straight into some kind of hyper acid. When they have a rematch after Gouriki Bancho's misunderstanding, she doesn't last past the first hammer. Then later, we meet the world's strongest man's brother, who is even stronger. Then there's the world's strongest man's father, who is probably stronger than both of his children COMBINED. | |

Hot-Blooded | |
| Kongoh Bancho (Manga) / int_680bb6b1 | comment |
Hot-Blooded: Pretty much all the Banchous have moments of severe hot-blooded ness, but Bakunetsu Banchou takes this to the extreme, constantly yelling everything he says and declaring that anyone who isn't hot blooded should die. At least until he faces Kongoh Banchou... In the final issue, Bakunetsu Banchou becomes a member of the Japanese government,and he has been causing quite a lot of commotion. He's made good on his promise to inject Japan with hot-blooded spirit. | |

Dumb Muscle | |
| Kongoh Bancho (Manga) / int_a18fda9c | comment |
Dumb Muscle: Lampshaded by Kangoku Bancho in reference to Gouriki Bancho, when he wonders if her brain is made of muscle as well. After her attacks end up having an effect after all, he wonders if she's really a Genius Bruiser... which she promptly shoots down when she panics. | |

One-Hit Kill | |
| Kongoh Bancho (Manga) / int_a414c3f0 | comment |
The Dark Student Council plays this straight, though it's not surprising since all of its members are the banchous who've come out on top in their own prefectures. As a testament to their strength, one was able to take out six Banchou with a One-Hit Kill, and later on defeat Ourou and Iai Banchou. The other one took on Nenbutsu, Gouriki, Hikyou and Sasori Banchou, losing only when Kongoh himself kicked his ass — and even then he still managed to escape. | |

Celibate Hero: Iai Bancho, which is hinted very early on when he insists Hinako wear a kimono and comments that she shouldn't be showing her legs, played for comedy when he sees girls in skirts, and then played for plot against a later Bancho, who gives him a Nosebleed when he so much as looks at her, causing him to slash his eyes out and fight that way. | |

Healing Factor | |
| Kongoh Bancho (Manga) / int_a5fb0d24 | comment |
Healing Factor: Kongoh is implied to have one of these, as other characters get beaten up and they take a while to heal. Oyanana even got Put on a Bus he was beaten so badly at one point, whereas Kongoh treats getting hit by a truck as only a flesh wound, and even recovers from it by the end of the battle. After it is revealed that the Kongoh is a species separate from humans and other mammals, this is soon explicitly stated to be part of the Kongoh genes by Hakai Bancho, who was created from them, as he immediately reconnects his severed arm. | |

And then it turns out that Kongoh went easy on her because his full attacks would have knocked her straight into some kind of hyper acid. When they have a rematch after Gouriki Bancho's misunderstanding, she doesn't last past the first hammer. Then later, we meet the world's strongest man's brother, who is even stronger. Then there's the world's strongest man's father, who is probably stronger than both of his children COMBINED. | |

Willing Suspension of Disbelief: Kongoh and Iai Bancho have theirs put to the test when they see Gokurou arrive with a cauldron of food for Gouriki Bancho a moment after she calls for it. Done again when Nenbutsu Bancho grows a full head of hair through sheer willpower. Many of the Banchous plans to improve Japan. Housing situation problem? Stick everyone in 4x4x4 boxes for homes. Food shortages? Everyone eat bugs. This tends to be Lampshaded. | |

Charles Atlas Superpower: Kongoh has plenty of these, such as his Megaton Punch, being Made of Iron, and his Walking On Water, which can hardly be Justified by his being a towering mass of muscle... And then we see his father and realize he's Not Quite Human. Also, if they aren't an outright freak of nature (like, say, Nenbutsu Bancho), Bancho tend to have these. Could be actually Subverted, as during the last arc it is actually implied that all the banchous are the by-products of Japanese super-soldier research. | |

Serial Escalation: The main character starts off chapter one by saving a jerkass from falling steel girders with his body, attacking a yakuza compound while carrying a car, getting stabbed with knives and breaking the blades off with just his back muscles, then breaking a sword in midswing with his bare hands. Oh, and those last three items? He did them just to get a yakuza underling to apologize for ripping up a little girl's drawing. It only escalates from there. | |

Action Hero: KONGOH, among others. For those who don't understand much about Japan or the Japanese language, calling someone a Bancho is basically the same as saying that they are the most badass person in their school and/or school district. And the only way to get this title is by kicking the ass of anyone and everyone who tries to take it. Basically, anyone who holds the title of Bancho has already established themselves thoroughly as the most badass individual in their district before even arriving on the scene, so just by hearing their name, you can expect moments of unrivaled badassery from them. | |

The Team | |
| Kongoh Bancho (Manga) / int_ea08e9 | comment |
The Team: When Kongoh teams up with some other Bancho, they form a five person band. note Not a five man band because the chick can't be male. The Leader: Kongou Bancho. Leader simply for never having been beaten. The Lancer: Iai Bancho. A level-headed and honorable swordsman. The Smart Guy: Hikyou Bancho: Uses trickery and deception. Fights smarter, not harder. The Big Guy: Gouriki Bancho. Considering the fact that she swings around two iron balls on sticks that are as big as she is, it counts. The Heart: Nenbutsu Bancho. Only gets here by being a pseudo-Buddhist priest but it does however cover the philosophical side. | |

Blow You Away | |
| Kongoh Bancho (Manga) / int_eea93c96 | comment |
Blow You Away: Nenbutsu Bancho's main form of attack, always called with the phrase "Katsu". It's really a Breath Weapon, and shouting Katsu is how he expels the air. Shouting "Butsu" changes the "caliber" on these air bullets, making them smaller, more powerful and capable of piercing most anything. | |

Walk on Water: Kongoh pulls this off on a piranha-infested pool, and berates the members of Nenbutsu's cult when they compare his Charles Atlas Superpower to Jesus. | |

Deceptively Human Robots | |
| Kongoh Bancho (Manga) / int_f865d93d | comment |
Deceptively Human Robots: Inverted; you realize Machine Bancho is a robot before you see his body, which freaks his opponents out even more when they start thinking they're fighting a human, and he's, well, not. Is possibly a Ridiculously Human Robot, due to his musings about the nature of death in living creatures, as well as his flashbacks to one "Dr. Tsukina". | |

Artistic License – Physics: The final battle of the series breaks all of the laws of thermodynamics. Hell, the final climax involves punching the Earth's core back into position!. On that note, one could argue it is also Artistic License – Geology... | |
