Majin Tantei Nougami Neuro (lit: Demon Detective Neuro Nougami, also known as Neuro: Supernatural Detective in the US, but popularly Woolsey’d into Private Evil Eye Neuro Nougami), created by Yuusei Matsui, is a supernatural detective manga and later anime that follows Neuro, a demon who literally eats mysteries. Having eaten all of the mysteries in Hell, he goes to Earth in search of the ultimate mystery. There he meets Yako Katsuragi, a schoolgirl whose father was recently murdered. In order to keep his identity as a demon secret, Neuro sets up a detective agency under Yako’s name, pretending that she is a brilliant schoolgirl detective and he her assistant. With the aid of his 777 Tools of Hell Neuro spends his time solving the murders he deems interesting while, naturally, dragging Yako along with him.The plot itself bounces between solving the individual cases of one-time murders and much larger overreaching situations such as the mystery of the Phantom Thief X. Perhaps the most distinctive feature of the series is when the culprit reveals his/her true nature and transforms into another form entirely. At this point, Neuro reverts to his demon form and devours the mystery. That said, it should be noted that since any bystanders (Yako excluded) never see Neuro doing this, it can be interpreted as more of a mental representation.The manga ran from 2005 to 2009 with 202 chapters, while the anime did from 2007 to 2008 to 25 episodes. Gecko Ending beware. | |

Applied Phlebotinum: Neuro's 777 "hell techniques". (Perhaps it should be 666, but as long as you view a daemon as a fallen angel, 777 fits well) | |

Evil Versus Evil | |
| Majin Tantei Nougami Neuro (Manga) / int_1645005b | comment |
Evil Versus Evil: Neuro is more or less sociopathic by human standards and frequently abuses Yako and their other cohorts for laughs, but he is one of the only forces standing against a villain like Sicks, who tortures and murders people solely for his twisted ideals and amusement. | |

| Majin Tantei Nougami Neuro (Manga) / int_16f8f547 | comment |
Monster and the Maiden: Neuro is a demon who literally devours mysteries. He comes to Earth after eating all the mysteries of hell and ropes an otherwise normal schoolgirl, Yako, into helping him be posing as a detective so he doesn't draw attention to himself. Over time, Yako develops a sense of empathy that Neuro lacks due to being a demon. | |

Genre Shift | |
| Majin Tantei Nougami Neuro (Manga) / int_177a6464 | comment |
Genre Shift: Anime: It starts as a detective anime, led into the computer-focused HAL arc, and then... Yakazuka Mayans? Manga: Mystery series grounded in (some) reality about a demon forcing a girl to work under him becomes a slowly, more fantastical tale of a demon preventing deaths by fighting a shapeshifter and an artificial intelligence; then this concept catches fire and spirals beautifully into an action series about two kinds of humanity facing off. All of it spiced with Deconstruction and morality talks as well as discussions on why people commit murder. | |

The Stoic: Sasazuka is very calm most of the time. Neuro, too, can arguably be in this trope, because he hardly ever loses his cool when fighting with villains even while many humans are in danger. | |

The Virus: The electronic drug. It hacks the victim's mind and finds something to exaggerate in order to make them useful to HAL. For instance, a childhood fondness for digging holes in the sand becomes an obsession with making holes in people. | |

But then turns into a Chekhov's Gun of sort when they come across an arsonist who doesn't have a motive, he just mentions acting on sudden impulse. It's the first time Neuro and Yako meet someone under the influence of the Electronic Drug. The program ratcheting up people's impulses to destructive extremes and overriding their sense of morality. | |

Thou Shalt Not Kill | |
| Majin Tantei Nougami Neuro (Manga) / int_2f94135c | comment |
Thou Shalt Not Kill: Despite how much Neuro forces Yako into(torture, bondage, general punishment, so on), Neuro has never once taken a life. His belief is that, even if a human has created a puzzle before, if they're left alive they can create more. However, when dealing with Sicks, he doesn't have this belief holding him back, considering that one, he poses a big threat to his feeding source if he survives and two he's far too monstrous to be forgiven. | |

| Majin Tantei Nougami Neuro (Manga) / int_323f135b | comment |
Sorting Algorithm of Evil: In the manga you first have the regular murders, then ones who we find are being stirred up by Professor Harukawa's research. That leads to HAL, and then X takes on HAL's powers. Then finally Sicks shows up and sweeps X off the map with his minions are coming in order as well. Justified however in that Sicks send out his minions one after the other in order to weaken Neuros powers. If they had tried to team up on Neuro in the beginning he would have easily curbstomped them. | |

Meitantei: Initially subverted. It may seem like Yako is a brilliant detective, but she's really a dense and easily manipulated girl who owes Neuro a big favor. However, while she's not the true "brains" behind the operation, Yako slowly reveals superb talents at reading human intention that Neuro himself cannot match. For a start, without her, Godai wouldn't have stuck around. She herself becomes a Negotiator at the end of the manga; someone who can solve the mysteries in people's hearts; preferring to help the living instead of avenging the dead. | |

Sicks: Sicks is charismatic, bending the members of the New Bloodline to his will to act as the 'next evolution' of humanity. But combined with his nature as pure evil, his Bad Boss tendencies start taking a toll. As more of Sicks minions die through the efforts of others, or by his own hand, it becomes clear that Sicks only sees himself as the one true member of his new bloodline. With Sicks' death, his ideals and bloodline die with him. | |

Broken Aesop | |
| Majin Tantei Nougami Neuro (Manga) / int_401d4116 | comment |
Broken Aesop: Ep. 14 ends with a message about how people shouldn't be so intolerant of other people's cultures. The irony is that this is delivered in reaction to the antics of possibly the most xenophobic and offensive depiction of an American in anime since 1945. Of course, a later chapter reveals that the American was the first test subject of the electronic drug, so the Aesop is strongly reinforced, since if Yako and the others hadn't been blinded by stereotypes of Americans, they would have noticed something wasn't right much earlier. | |

Bittersweet Ending: The Big Bad is dead, but Neuro has to return to the netherworld since he's nearly on his death bed, a large percentage of the Japanese population has been killed during the terrorist acts of the New Bloodline and several important characters like Sasazuka, Sai, and Fumio have died due to their connections to the Big Bad. And The Dragon survived his would-be death and has taken over as the pinnacle of evil, and there's no permanent solution to prevent more people like Sicks from showing up since we're all inherently insane. But life goes on and Yako becomes a negotiator and Neuro returns eventually. | |

Jerk with a Heart of Gold | |
| Majin Tantei Nougami Neuro (Manga) / int_4781adbb | comment |
Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Usui takes pride being a police and works hard fighting criminals. He is also shown to have respected Sasazuka, especially at the end when Sasazuka dies. Neuro also qualifies. When he was about to die, he questioned his own motive for protecting the humans: was it really just to save his food source? Also, Neuro kept Akane alive with a battery even when he had none to spare. | |

Clueless Mystery | |
| Majin Tantei Nougami Neuro (Manga) / int_4cf9fe88 | comment |
Clueless Mystery: Neuro tends to solve everything off-screen and leave Yako to figure things out along with the reader if he doesn't explain it all himself, leading the series to focus more on morality and why a person would kill another. | |

Motive Rant | |
| Majin Tantei Nougami Neuro (Manga) / int_4d044580 | comment |
Motive Rant: Happens with every single villain, but averted with four people: the three college kids working under HAL were simply doing it because HAL gave them the ability to do so (as they were all fascinated by a way of killing people, but held it back and never acted upon it). Possessed-by-the-Electronic-Drug Higuchi, meantime, has a similar motive and also goes on a rant about an entirely different issue. But then turns into a Chekhov's Gun of sort when they come across an arsonist who doesn't have a motive, he just mentions acting on sudden impulse. It's the first time Neuro and Yako meet someone under the influence of the Electronic Drug. The program ratcheting up people's impulses to destructive extremes and overriding their sense of morality. | |

The Coroner Doth Protest Too Much | |
| Majin Tantei Nougami Neuro (Manga) / int_4e6e4dc7 | comment |
The Coroner Doth Protest Too Much: In the anime, Yako's father was killed via his head being cut off with a chainsaw, and his blood was used to paint the walls. Since there was no way to enter the room, it was ruled a suicide by the police. In the manga, his body was pincushioned with knives. The police don't think it's suicide there, but consider ruling it as such since there isn't any evidence of a killer. | |

Beneath the Mask | |
| Majin Tantei Nougami Neuro (Manga) / int_4fbc0887 | comment |
Beneath the Mask: The series frequently explores this concept, with every villain having this in some way: until the criminal is revealed, everyone acts normal. The moment it is revealed, they shed their masks and usually become sadistic and cruel. However, it's also used for the heroes, usually to show more caring natures. ...But then you have Sasazuka. Normally cool and level-headed, he is a force to be feared. It's not just that he can superior aiming skills, he will kill you if you don't tell him what he wants when he's serious about it. In particular, Godai tells a story about how Sasazuka once went to a big-named thug for information: Sasazuka was roughed up, then within minutes the thug was being held off a 25-story building with twice the amount of injuries Sasazuka was shown being given. And, during this little story, Sasazuka is busy killing Sicks's men with a Psychotic Smirk. | |

Cast from Hit Points: Neuro's demonic powers drain his lifeforce the longer he is away from the demon realm, though he can prolong his time in the human world by devouring mysteries. Late in the series it's shown that he has started to expend more energy than he can replenish, and he'll have to eventually return to the demon world to keep from wasting away. | |

So Last Season | |
| Majin Tantei Nougami Neuro (Manga) / int_6156eafa | comment |
So Last Season: Subverted, then inverted. While Neuro makes more use of the Seven Weapons during later arcs, they're not power-ups or new attacks but techniques he's had all along: they just weren't needed until now due to the Sorting Algorithm of Evil. In fact, the reason he's using them isn't that he's gotten stronger but because he's growing weaker as he starves to death, and he needs the most powerful spells in the demon world to do things he could have done with normal tools before. Turns out to be a double subversion, since the power that turns the tide in the last story arc is one that hasn't been a big deal before: human allies. | |

He even encourages Yako to visit him in the hospital after having just coughed up blood. Naohiro Usui, during the Sicks arc. He boosts up his game and attempts to stop Sicks, even outmaneuvering one of Sicks' top men and leading them into a trap. By the late manga, Yako. According to Neuro, if a normal human is equivalent to a paramecium, then at one point Yako's a pillbug. A complex, multicellular life-form with built-in armor, thousands of times a paramecium's size. | |

The Power of Love | |
| Majin Tantei Nougami Neuro (Manga) / int_6a696742 | comment |
The Power of Love: In the manga, Neuro doesn't eat mysteries per se but the energy that would drive someone to do terrible, shameful, twisted things, knowing they're that wrong (otherwise, why try to hide them?). When he finally devoured the energy that caused the creation of HAL and the entire HAL arc, there's so much of it he acts like he's sugar high. Both Harukawa and HAL strive to bring back the woman they love, by making an electronic person with the former, and by hacking into other super-computers to create another electronic person from zero with the latter. | |

Serious Business: Mysteries, for Neuro, which makes sense since he's starving to death and they're not his food, but they're evidence that the energy he eats should be present. This becomes a problem during the HAL and Sicks arcs, when crimes are being caused not by human twistedness but the electronic drug, biology, and so on. See No, Mister Bond, I Expect You To Dine. | |

Several. For example, Neuro mentions a few details about himself either right out or offhand that turn out to be very important. The fact that he's starving to death and needs mysteries to feed on seems like an Excuse Plot that certainly wouldn't be a real problem for an invicible Shōnen hero until the HAL arc, where Neuro gets exhausted and seriously hurt for the first time. And there's no miraculous cure or power up for him to get past HAL's final password, Yako has to solve it with her own intuition. | |

Eagleland | |
| Majin Tantei Nougami Neuro (Manga) / int_7a265daa | comment |
Eagleland: Episode 14, which takes this trope farther than any show before it, which is very far indeed. The killer is an American man who transforms into a muscular caricature with a wildly oversized nose and who hums a nasally version of The Star-Spangled Banner when revealing himself. However, it turns out that Professor Harukawa chose the American as the first victim/test subject of the electronic virus because he correctly thought that other Japanese people would simply assume an American was like that. In the manga, although the trope doesn't quite come up, it should be noted that it's Americans that bring in a battle cruiser carrying nuclear weapons and that they all have crooked, beak-like noses like the above example. | |

Left Hanging | |
| Majin Tantei Nougami Neuro (Manga) / int_80b5924 | comment |
Left Hanging: The anime ends with Neuro promising Yako that he would solve her father's murder, something she had reminisced over the course of the series. What makes this decision confusing however is that in the manga, not only was Yako's father's murder solved, it was Neuro's second case and solved within three chapters of the story opening, and the gratitude and peace Yako felt from this case is what made Yako decide to be Neuro's willing cover (though the threats Neuro imposed at the time helped too). The fact that the murderer was one of the police force also meant that the police were more lenient with her solving their cases at the start, helped by Sasazuka going easy on her because she's around the same age as his sister was when she died and that it was his partner who committed the murder. | |

Deconstruction | |
| Majin Tantei Nougami Neuro (Manga) / int_8ae880f7 | comment |
Manga: Mystery series grounded in (some) reality about a demon forcing a girl to work under him becomes a slowly, more fantastical tale of a demon preventing deaths by fighting a shapeshifter and an artificial intelligence; then this concept catches fire and spirals beautifully into an action series about two kinds of humanity facing off. All of it spiced with Deconstruction and morality talks as well as discussions on why people commit murder. | |

Your Favorite | |
| Majin Tantei Nougami Neuro (Manga) / int_94721d54 | comment |
Your Favorite: Yako and Sicks, both to Neuro. Instead of giving Neuro chocolates for Valentine's, Yako gives him the wrapping paper. Which is made up of leads to potential mysteries, what he actually eats. It's both heartwarming and very impressive for Yako, showing that she has grown to understand Neuro despite his inhumanity. Sicks invites Neuro to meet with him, and tries to arrange a meal for him by forcing several people to kill, right there, by threatening their families and so on. He's wrong in that it's not the mystery itself Neuro eats, but the psychic energy of the motivation behind it, the twistedness that would drive someone to commit murder and try to hide it. Sicks's sick little tableau was the equivalent of offering a starving man Syrup of Ipecac. And then, since they hadn't pleased Neuro, he killed all of them, meaning that they would never be able to produce a real mystery. At that point, the reader learns how Neuro acts when he's really, really angry. | |

"Not So Different" Remark | |
| Majin Tantei Nougami Neuro (Manga) / int_984ef9ef | comment |
X: X regularly tries to act out a "Not So Different" Remark by trying to find someone with "similar insides" to him in hope he can understand himself. When challenged with Neuro, he uses this said trope to justify wanting to kill Neuro in hopes that they will be similar. Others end up enforcing it for him: Yako, specifically, attempts to reason with him that he is human due to a few traits he has. There's also a large theme of Loss of Identity, as X can't remember who he was and when he inevitably recalls who he is, it's only because he's brainwashed into it or on the verge of losing everything again. | |

Evolutionary Levels: Neuro uses this to describe the times Yako Took a Level in Badass. Learning to read people, developing super strength, and so on. Being Neuro, he still manages to make this sound insulting, but if later-series Yako is to a normal human what a complex, multicellular organism with built-in armor is to a paramecium? Also the criminals, early ones had a Game Face once what's Beneath the Mask was shown, but by the end of the series, the New Bloodline had developed their evil intent enough to manifest as a Battle Aura. | |

Obfuscating Stupidity: Enforced. Neuro, as Yako's "assistant", is a meek man who constantly says aloud what "sensei" is talking about and is prone to admitting "his teacher abuses him" or something along the lines. He only drops the act when no one's paying attention to him besides Yako, he's abusing Godai, or when he's actually communicating with murders or Sasazuka. | |

Evil Gloating | |
| Majin Tantei Nougami Neuro (Manga) / int_c0d598fe | comment |
Evil Gloating: Neuro enjoys a spot of gloating with most culprits before he devours their mysteries, and though he's the protagonist and catching murderers, it's clear that he takes sadistic joy in it. | |

Humanity Is Insane | |
| Majin Tantei Nougami Neuro (Manga) / int_c5d18c5a | comment |
Humanity Is Insane: This is apparently why Neuro can't understand us: it's also something the manga spends a lot of time observing. It's also the reason Humans Are Special: since we're so insane and illogical, we can commit premeditated crimes for really strong, twisted reasons, and it's that energy Neuro eats, and why he won't let the New Bloodline destroy humanity. | |

Anti-Villain | |
| Majin Tantei Nougami Neuro (Manga) / int_d001c42c | comment |
Anti-Villain: Professor Harukawa / HAL. Harukawa just wants to bring back his true love. HAL was created in service to this, but thanks to his high level of artificial intelligence he realizes that actually bringing Setsuna back without any mistakes is nigh-impossible. Unfortunately, he can't stop in his mission to try and bring her back, since that was his primary directive and purpose. | |

Refuge in Audacity | |
| Majin Tantei Nougami Neuro (Manga) / int_d45c0b86 | comment |
Episode 14, which takes this trope farther than any show before it, which is very far indeed. The killer is an American man who transforms into a muscular caricature with a wildly oversized nose and who hums a nasally version of The Star-Spangled Banner when revealing himself. However, it turns out that Professor Harukawa chose the American as the first victim/test subject of the electronic virus because he correctly thought that other Japanese people would simply assume an American was like that. | |

Psychotic Smirk | |
| Majin Tantei Nougami Neuro (Manga) / int_d485cb13 | comment |
...But then you have Sasazuka. Normally cool and level-headed, he is a force to be feared. It's not just that he can superior aiming skills, he will kill you if you don't tell him what he wants when he's serious about it. In particular, Godai tells a story about how Sasazuka once went to a big-named thug for information: Sasazuka was roughed up, then within minutes the thug was being held off a 25-story building with twice the amount of injuries Sasazuka was shown being given. And, during this little story, Sasazuka is busy killing Sicks's men with a Psychotic Smirk. | |

Training from Hell | |
| Majin Tantei Nougami Neuro (Manga) / int_d66cd0e6 | comment |
Training from Hell: In hindsight, everything Neuro does to Yako helps shape her into a real detective, though it's not fully clear if this was his intent from the start or if it was a happy accident that he capitalized on. | |

Playful Hacker: Higuchi, who hacked into the Metropolitan Police Department's computers... and transformed their website into a department store website complete with replacing all of the departments and personal with lookalike shops and employees. The investigative department, where Sasazuka and Jun work, was turned into a Fundoshi store. And the site stayed like this for three days. | |

| Majin Tantei Nougami Neuro (Manga) / int_e34400ab | comment |
Ambiguously Gay: Played for Laughs regarding Godai. On one hand, Neuro seems to think so, complete with literally throwing musclemen magazines at him. On the other hand, Neuro would do that sort of thing anyway because that's how he rolls. On yet another hand, Godai denies it. On the final hand, Godai's encounter with a Camp Gay policeman indicated that his life apparently works like a gay Dating Sim. So it all comes down to a big who knows. | |

Authority Equals Asskicking | |
| Majin Tantei Nougami Neuro (Manga) / int_e34ada78 | comment |
Authority Equals Asskicking: Early in the manga, there's a throwaway exchange where Neuro is talking about how in his world, it's normal for the weak to submit to the strong. The person he's talking to asks if there's anyone Neuro would submit to. The answer is no. The obvious conclusion was later confirmed. Another clue was the long version of the name of the Seven Weapons of the Demon Emperor. Sicks to the New Bloodline | |

Blue-and-Orange Morality | |
| Majin Tantei Nougami Neuro (Manga) / int_e8e56799 | comment |
Blue-and-Orange Morality: Neuro, to the point of Xenofiction. At first, it seems as though he's forcing Yako into this, has no respect for her & views her as an inferior life form equivalent to a paramecium. Then, the series shows how Neuro acts towards people he detests (Sai), considers far over the Moral Event Horizon (Sicks) and actually holds in contempt (Yako, when she decides to stop being a detective). Realizing that Neuro treats Yako that way because he actually respects her and is often proud of her verges on Mind Screw. | |

You Are Number 6: Sicks; as well as Setsuna.note The number closest to zero. "Setsuna" is pronounced the same as the Japanese way for saying one over a billion; it's also commonly used to say, in Japanese, "an instant". | |
