Otokojuku: headed by its principal, Heihachi Edajima, who was himself a war hero during World War II, it is an infamous private school long since known to harbor the worst delinquents ever imaginable in history and transform them into the manliest of men through rigorous (and highly unorthodox) training methods of both mind and body, in order to prepare them for the hardships of Japanese society.Unfortunately, the latest freshman class consists of nothing but spineless tough-guy wannabes just aching to escape...until a delinquent named Tsurugi Momotaro comes to attend. What follows is a gradual change for the freshman class as they struggle under Momotaro's leadership to overcome anything and everything that stands before them, be it the incompetent and hypocritical teachers, or worse...Sakigake!! Otokojuku (Charge!! Men's Private School) is a comedy martial arts manga series created by Akira Miyashita that ran in Weekly Shonen Jump from 1985 to 1991, focusing on the absurdities of the titular school at large, as well as its awkward place in modern Japanese society. As the genre indicates, not only are there plenty of crazy things happening in each story, but there is also no shortage of amazing moments from many of the main characters, both expected and unexpected. Note that these moments often intersect in this series.It received an anime adaptation of 34 episodes in 1988, and is quite a watch if only to hear voice actors such as the legendary Daisuke Gōri simply act as outrageously as possible.Miyashita later returned to the world of Otokojuku in a number of other mangas, the two main ones being Akatsuki!! Otojokuku, which takes place 20 years after the original series and features a new generation of Otokojuku students, including a few children of the original cast; and Peerless: The Legend of Edajima Heihachi, a prequel which tells the story of Edajima's childhood, education and other experiences, featuring many of the parents of later Otokojuku students. There was also Date Omito Gaiden and Daigouin Jaki Gaiden prequels focusing on the characters in question, where Miyashita wrote the script but brought in other artists: Chiwa Omatsu for Date Omito Gaiden and Toichiro Yanagida for Daigouin Jaki Gaiden. There's also the somewhat unexpected Kurenai!! Onnajuku, drawn by Michi Saitou, which effectively is a Gender Flip of the original series.It also got a PS3 game released in Japan in February 2014, and Momotaro and Heihachi show up in J-Stars Victory VS.

Multinational Team: The Hades Phoenix Island Warriors. The Otokojuku team for the Seven Tusks, when they were joined by several former opponents from the Heaven-Challenging Tournament. Even more so in Akatsuki!! Otokojuku, when many of those they had formerly competed against in the Man Cup join up with them. Even if they do end up enrolling in Otokojuku, it's somewhat more justified here, as they originally teamed up due to running into each other when they were all going after the same target.

Fighting Series: Starts as a comedy with the students getting in all sorts of trouble before Momotaro saves them but develops into a series of tournament arcs. The story's tone becomes serious, but several characters have oddball skills and dramatic deaths are often reversed later.

Where It All Began: The final arc was something of a 'return to roots', as it was set in the actual school, relied more on gags and gave the spotlight back to Tazawa and Hidemaro (not really Matsuo, though).

Unreliable Narrator: The narrator of this series is a lying, cheating bastard who only cares to make you invested in a fight by making it "for real", so he goes on and on about how this or this character just "died", in no uncertain terms. But then it's revealed all of the characters survived despite the narrator clearly saying otherwise. Togashi actually "died" three times during the course of the series, and was twice confirmed dead by the narrator.

Defeat Means Friendship
 Sakigake!! Otokojuku (Manga) / int_19769f50
comment
Defeat Means Friendship: Fighting being what creates true bonds between men is a recurring theme. The earliest example in the manga is Akashi Gouji, who after his duel with Momo starts advising and assisting him (even if it's in the Otokojuku way), and the anime goes one further by not even having Momo and Togashi be friends at first. After the Great Trembling Conquest, all of Otokojuku's fighters are on friendly terms with each other. This trope became abused as hell by Miyashita. For example, fan favourites like Hien or Raiden weren't even part of the school until after the end of the first tournament. It became so bad that the group selected for tournament fights assimilated all of the opponents faced in the previous tournaments (even if they supposedly fell into acid that we saw was, in fact, real acid). This lead to the third tournament starting out with a 16 on 16 team match setup, to incorporate all these characters. And of course one of them, Dokugantetsu, dies immediately and rather unceremoniously, with the author only adding in reasons why we should care about the guy in an exposition dump from Edajima, seeing how we never saw this supposed "kindness" he was said to posses. Miyashita took this to its logical extreme in the Armageddon arc of Akatsuki!! Otokojuku, when an at first disguised Todo Hyoei joins the Otokojuku force.

The Dandy: Among the opponents of Otokojuku: Horus, Michele and Giger. Hilariously, Manjimaru of all people has a shade of it too, being more concerned with his hairstyle than getting medical treatment after his fight with Gemini, where he took a lot of damage and lost a lot of blood. Date invokes it when fighting Long-Bao to provoke him, by cutting off Long-Bao's hair knot and using it to brush his shoes while mentioning "a man's dandyism".

Aborted Arc
 Sakigake!! Otokojuku (Manga) / int_23698fa8
comment
Aborted Arc: The series actually became notable for doing this, especially towards the end. In the begining of the Seven Tusks arc, we were shown a bunch of mobsters who were running the tournament, and even had a guy gunned down in cold blood to be replaced by someone else, but after the Todo reveal, they are never shown again. Later during that same arc we have Wang Ta-Ren show up at the Shen-Quan Temple, it's revealed Todo is forcing the Temple to participate in the fight by holding the wife of the Head of the Temple (and Wang Ta-Ren's old unrequited love interest) hostage. Wang Ta-Ren swears to save her "even if it costs his life" but she is never seen, heard from or even mentioned again after this point. Before the begining of the Seven Tusks arc, the leader of the Gandhara team from the previous tournament, as well as a new, extremely cocky student challenging Momo the moment he's admitted, join in and are chosen as fighters for the tournament yet the new kid has only about one fight very early on against a random mook and the guy from the Gandhara team never gets a fight at all. The same thing happens in Akatsuki!! Otokojuku as well, with twelve previous opponents joining Otokojuku for their current mission in the Sodom World Council arc. While Yuan-Shao and Wukong get elevated to main cast pretty much right away, the rest aren't so lucky. Singh and Cyrano de Besson get a single fight each in that arc, and Zedang Lama uses his skills to treat the injured during the arc as well. Those three, as well as the remaining seven who didn't get to do anything at all during that arc, are completely relegated to being background characters for the rest of the series. Related to Defeat Means Friendship: by the Heaven-Challenging Olympic Tournament arc, the Otokojuku representation assimilated everyone they had fought in the past two tournaments, so Miyashita set up the Tournament as a 16 on 16 team competition to include all of them. Not only did some of the lesser ranked members start dropping off quickly, but after the preliminaries, the Otokojuku fighters never encounter a full team consisting of 16 other fighters. While each matchup features a bunch of lower-ranked fighters before the leaders step up, this never amounted to facing a full team of 16. It's hilarious when they are fighting Gouki's team and Date says that he thinks the "final boss" is coming out soon, despite them having fought way less than 16 opponents. It could be inferred that some teams had lost fighters in prior matches, but there seems to always be some unnamed characters in the background of every team that never gets to do anything... A variation on the above in Akatsuki!! Otokojuku, in the Armageddon arc. The tournament is supposed to consist of battles between teams of five, though a team is given the win if they get the medallion from the other team (that the active fighter has to carry). However, in the first battle, after taking out the first enemy, one of the Otokojuku fighters blocks the remaining opponents from coming out, leaving only their leader for one more battle, and the remaining two teams in the tournament only have three fighters each, without much explanation. And then Otokojuku ends up having six on their team anyway...

Generation Xerox: As seen in the prequel Peerless: The Legend of Edajima Heihachi, Tazawa, Matsuo, J, Jaki and Edogawa are practically identical to their fathers when they were of similar age. Less so in Akatasuki!! Otokojuku, as while it's clear some characters are the children of others, they don't look like carbon copies. Kiyomoto Atsushi looks very similar to J... but they're not related.

Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: Edogawa. At a shallow glance he would look like a Big Fun type character due to his standard expression being a cheerful smile and him coming across as being jolly due to his laid back and casual way of speaking as well as his warm and kindly tone of voicef, but he's actually just as much of a bully as the rest of the second years.

Reused Character Design: Happens a lot in Date Omito Gaiden, especially after the Viper Brothers arc (and even then, Bat Viper was a very obvious Henshouki expy). Characters looking nigh identical to Senkuu and Akashi Gouji show up before the next tournament begins, and in that tournament, not one but two copies of Dokugantetsu show up, followed in the next round by a Manjimaru clone. The last one is given an in-series justification by stating that he copied the haircut and outfit from a martial artist (heavily implied but not outright confirmed to have been Manjimaru) who had defeated him in the past. By the time copies of Momo and J show up, it's been established that a parallel world exists, and they actually are alternate versions of the same characters.

comment
Poisonous Person: Eikei with his poison fist. Other characters use techniques with poison, but none fit the trope as perfectly as Eikei. Venom Viper in Date Omito Gaiden, true to his name. His blood is venomous. Ako in Daigouin Jaki Gaiden expels a poisonous mist from his body. Only his older brother Aryu is immune to it. And that really means only Aryu—Ako himself isn't immune to his own poison, so Aryu has to stay close to his brother to prevent him from killing himself with his own mist. No prize for guessing how Jaki defeats the duo.

Bros Before Hoes: After Momo defeated J.J George, his Japanese girlfriend immediately dumped him to try to hit on Momo, impressed with his strength. Momo responds by giving her the 'sweat on his hand' to her face, not impressed with such display of disloyalty to one's partner and shallow taste. Momo exits the scene with his friends/bros stating that such kind of shallow women wouldn't be welcome in Otokojuku (even if it's an all-boys school.)

Heihachi's undoubtedly memetic "I AM THE PRINCIPAL OF OTOKOJUKU, EDAJIMA HEIHACHI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!". In the early chapters, this was just about the ONLY thing he said. In Kurenai!! Onnajuku, he's added the new school name, turning it into "I AM THE PRINCIPAL OF OTOKOJUKU AND ONNAJUKU, EDAJIMA HEIHACHI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" even though Otokojuku no longer exists (other than as the predecessor to Onnajuku).

Split Personality: Edogawa with his Special Face Reversal. Explained in Akatsuki!! Otokojuku as coming from that he used to have a more aggressive twin brother, but when both were near-fatally wounded in an accident the doctors managed to save one of them by using parts of them both, and his brother's mind still lives inside him. It should perhaps be mentioned that his father shows up in The Legend of Edajima Heihachi and has the Face Reversal as well, so it might in part be hereditary, too.

Absurdly Powerful Student Council
 Sakigake!! Otokojuku (Manga) / int_3eae625
comment
Absurdly Powerful Student Council: While never refered to as a student council in the original manga, Otokojuku's third-year students are more similar to this than an actual school grade, being noted to have more influence than even the instructors. Part of the reason seems to be Jaki using Otokojuku as his base, but there are definitely implications it was the case before him too, since the Four Lords were already established as the strongest of Otokojuku and had gone on missions together even before Jaki showed up. Edogawa does mention an Otokojuku student council in Akatsuki!! Otokojuku, and being president of it also makes you the supreme head of Otokojuku, so it could be presumed this was the case in Jaki's time too.

Book Ends: Both the first and last chapter of the original manga have Momo heading into and taking on a Yakuza base alone. Both chapters also end with Edajima's famous catchphrase. Additionally, both the first and the last major fight in the manga has Momo dueling another katana user, with Akashi Gouji in the Killoseum and Yukinojou in Bugen Castle of the Seven Tusks (technically, the final opponent that appears is Shikibu, but there's never a real battle against him). As a bonus, Momo is using Akashi's sword in said duel.

No Animals Were Harmed: Averted. Among other things, a guy eats a little bird just to spite its owner, and rabbits are constantly being thrown into sulfuric acid pits. In fact pretty much every new arena warrants some asshole coming on stage and murdering an innocent animal, sometimes quite cruely, like when a goat gets impaled just to show that the spikes are, in fact, spiky.

Rapid-Fire Fisticuffs
 Sakigake!! Otokojuku (Manga) / int_58d24389
comment
Rapid-Fire Fisticuffs: J's signature move is the Flash Piston Mach Punch combo, which starts out at a relatively humble 5 instant punches and with a potential for a chain of 10, though performing that much could destroy the muscles on his arm. Of course, he's just so determined and tough that he avoids getting crippled upon being forced to throw 10 punches for the first time twice in a row. And it only improves from there, starting out Otokojuku's first round in the Great Heaven-Challenging Olympic Tournament by demonstrating a sixteen-hit version. There are other characters with rapid flurries of hand attacks in their repertoires as well, but J is by far the most prominent example. His granddaughter JK uses the Flash Piston Mach Punch as well, having mastered it already before she came to Onnajuku.

comment
Adaptation Distillation: While Kurenai!! Onnajuku is basically a retelling of the original series but with every character (except for Edajima) as a girl instead, it does compress and rearrange some things. The three islands in the early summer camp arc are replaced with only Demon's Corpse island, and instead of being let out of prison and recruited just before the Trials of Terror, Toramaru Ryuuko is found on the same island (having been exiled there instead of imprisoned), adding her to the cast earlier. J's granddaughter JK joins prior to the summer camp as well.

Combat Commentator: Togashi and Toramaru mostly take this role after the Great Trembling Conquest, often reacting in shock to a dire situation before Momotaro states their teammate still has an ace up his sleeve. Whenever some old fighting style is shown off, it's primarily Raiden that gets to explain it in addition to a Minmei entry. Pharaoh and Hakuhou in the Seven Tusks arc take over while Togashi and Toramaru are unavailable.

RecycledPlot
 Sakigake!! Otokojuku (Manga) / int_5b168317
comment
Recycled Plot: Oi. Miyashita loved recycling concepts, sometimes with small changes, sometimes to the point of plagiarising himself. A few examples: The Straight March from the first chapter of Sakigake!! Otokojuku is retooled into the Straight Dash in Akatsuki!! Otokojuku. The Spirit Cannonballs from the Four Great Trials of Terror show up again (and chronologically earlier) in Date Omito Gaiden, in a challenge that's also suspiciously similar to The Great Trembling Conquest of the Unified Eight, featuring the Life-Entrusting Stone with 2-on-2 battles. The Four Great Trials of Terror themselves become the Three Great Trials of Terror in Akatsuki!! Otokojuku, with Shura, Fuukai and Rinkai returning... but Miyashita put it on the wrong mountain. In The Legend of Edajima Heihachi, Toramaru's father was sentenced to holding up the ceiling in a prison, just like Toramaru. When Edajima breaks him and several other prisoners out of the prison, they do so by way of a 1000-man bridge, like the first-years did in Sakigake!! Otokojoku. The entire preimse of Kurenai!! Onnajuku is recycling the basic plot of the original manga, only with a female cast this time. Throughout the series, at least three different organizations got described as having been in the shadows of every major bad event like wars and terrorist attacks the world has seen.

Author Appeal: Miyashita seems to LOVE him some Jimi Hendrix, given that there are multiple references to him throughout the series, such as a character who has a similar name to him in the Seven Tusks of Darkness Arc (James Hendrix), and the character Ah Fu-lo in Akatsuki!! Otokojuku, who resembles him visually, down to wearing a headband and an outfit with tasseled sleeves, and in Goku!! Otokojuku, a character transforms into a rockstar similar to Jimi Hendrix in appearance and uses a musical attacks called "Purple Haze" and "Wild Thing". Sora Yori Takaku also has a character named Zhi Mi-Hen, who transforms to look like Hendrix and directly states that "Jimi Hendrix is even greater than a god to me."

Signature Move
 Sakigake!! Otokojuku (Manga) / int_675056e4
comment
Signature Move: Actually averted for a lot of the cast, given that the series is more into Time to Unlock More True Potential, so most fights involve entirely new moves being pulled out rather than going with ol' reliable. But there are some that arguably fit the bill, and some that absolutely do: The two biggest examples among the cast are definitely J with his Mach Punch and its upgraded version Flash Piston Mach Punch, and Akashi Gouji with his Straight Line-Style Rock-Slicing Sword (also the signature move of his son Juzo). Hien's Thousand Cranebeak Needles, Eikei's Strike of the Poisoned Hand, and Jaki's Deadly Wind Vacuum Wave are also clear examples. Momo himself never really gets one, given that most of his swordplay is done without any special moves, and the ones he actually uses aren't frequent enough to qualify. The closest thing would be his Rising Ki Tiger Spirit, which shows up a bit too late to really count—but in Akatsuki!! Otokojuku, it is the legitimate signature move of his son Shishimaru. Also from Akatsuki!! Otokojuku is Yuan-Shao's Mirror of Water.

 Sakigake!! Otokojuku (Manga) / int_71a3a3c0
comment
Fully Absorbed Finale: Zig-zagged and ultimately subverted by Sora Yori Takaku, which started four years after Sakigake!! Otokojuku ended and six years before Akatsuki!! Otokojuku began. It appears to initially have been meant as this, since many Otokojuku characters appear as adults showing that they really did go on to become important members of society, and Edajima shows up as well, now retired and refering to himself as the ex-principal of Otokojuku. While certain things did carry over to Akatsuki, such as Momo having become the prime minister and Date being a yakuza don, there's no real way both can be canon in the same continuity. There's no indication in Akatsuki that Edajima ever had any break from being the principal, and it reaffirms in no uncertain terms that a character who was Killed Off for Real in Sakigake but showed up alive in Sora Yori Takaku really died.

Calling Your Attacks: Parodied by some of Togashi and Toramaru's tag team attacks, where at one point Togashi praised Toramaru for remembering the name of the attack, and another time is told to not call the attack name as it would give away how the attack worked. Also played with when Date calls out a fake attack to trick Shiran into copying it.

Adaptational Badass: A rather downplayed example with Tsubakiyama in the live-action movie.

Fake Special Attack: Edogawa's Face Reversal "Technique". It's just him slowly raising his hands over his face and making a scary, angry face at his opponent and nothing less. Despite this, the other second years treat it like a special attack anyways. Also Date's "Uro Yakenuma", which just consists of throwing away half of his weapon. It serves its purpose, which is to disarm his Ditto Fighter opponent Shiran to provide an opening, but the named technique itself doesn't exist.

Eagleland: Features both types. Early on, it portrays Americans as brutish thugs who have no respect for women. Then came one arc where Otokojuku receives American exchange students, among whom is J, who is portrayed almost in the same light as Momotaro.

He even weaponizes it! Kurosu Nobunaga uses one of Toramaru's fart moves in Akatsuki!! Otokojuku. In Kurenai!! Onnajuku, Toramaru's granddaughter Ryuuko has turned the Great Fart Cannon into a localized explosion, without even lighting the fart on fire first.

Back from the Dead: A lot of characters "die" just to come back at the end of the arc (and sometimes during the same arc), and it's usually made clear that they didn't really die, they were saved and given treatment at the last moment. The only one for who this seems to have actually happened is Daigouin Kouki in Akatsuki!! Otokojuku, who when he shows up again states that he really did die but was revived.

Zig-Zagging Trope

Zig-zagged. Many established characters show off some new move or style in each of their battles, which doesn't always stick. Justified with characters like Raiden, who are explicitly stated to know several different kinds of martial arts. For some characters the new move becomes a returning staple for them (such as J's Flash Piston Mach Punch) and others are never heard of again (like any of Togashi and Toramaru's tag team attacks).

Your Size May Vary: Huge opponents are frequent, in a similar fashion as Fist of the North Star. Momo even lampshades it during the final battle of the anime. The huge form Jaki takes when he first shows up is later Hand Waved as simply appearing huge due to his aura. In a flashback later on, it's shown that Edajima did the same to Jaki back in the day. Yin-Ren in Akatsuki!! Otokojuku can change the size of his body at will.

It's not as bad as, say, JoJo's Bizarre Adventure part 4, but it definitely needed improving. There's another group currently working through the series that is doing a much better job with it. And there's an in story version of this trope. And HOW.

comment
Chokepoint Geography: Invoked with Hades Phoenix Island, having been shaped into a tournament bracket for the Great Heaven-Challenging Tournament. That said, the geography of it makes little actual sense when considering how the Otokojuku team advance through it. The establishing shot makes it clear how it's supposed to work—the teams meet at the arenas in the three-way junctions, fight it out, and the winner advances to the next tier of the bracket. But the supposed third path leading "upwards" is never shown to exist at any of the arenas, so it's not entirely clear where they're actually going when they advance through the bracket.

Crazy Enough to Work
 Sakigake!! Otokojuku (Manga) / int_8f9f71a8
comment
Crazy Enough to Work: Heihachi is able to fool the police when they call him out for driving a tank in the middle of the city or running a deadly fighting match by pretending he's an actor in the middle of recording a film. During the Great Heaven-Challenging Tournament, Edajima arrives to help his students by piloting an old Zero airplane. When he patches up the plane and leaves, he actually doesn't have enough fuel for the return trip and laments he can't literally fly it with just his Yamato Damashii powers. Not to worry, though, as he steals a jet from one of Toudo's henchmen midflight and later crashes it against the villain's escape helicopter at the end of the tournament. On the Seven Tusks arc, Toudo imprisons Edajima inside a satellite that will only return to Earth once the Otokojuku students obtain a set of floppy disks. By chance, an American shuttle flies by and Edajima goes swimming in the cold vacuum of space to it. He breaks into the shuttle, gathers himself a suit and oxygen tanks and asks the crew to return to Earth while he waits tethered to the ship as if to not upset the weight calculations for landing. He safely lands on the ocean, captures an orca and rides it back to Japan.

Bluff the Impostor: Twice. First in the Seven Tusks arc of the original manga, when a ninja appears who can impersonate anyone. He first appears impersonating Toramaru, so Momo asks them to recite the three instructions of Otokojuku. Only one of them answers correctly, which makes Momo declare that Toramaru is the impostor—because the real Toramaru wouldn't remember those things. Similarily in Akatsuki!! Otokojuku, Date Omito appears as an underling of Todo Hyoei. Edajima asks him to recite the only textbook of Otokojuku, mentioning that the real Date would have it memorized. When Date does so successfully, Edajima calls him out for being a fake, since the real Date didn't study with books.

Their leader, Akashi Gouji however, is a bonafide threat.

Can't Catch Up
 Sakigake!! Otokojuku (Manga) / int_94d2506d
comment
Can't Catch Up: Togashi and Toramaru. After starting out as half of Otokojuku's main fighting force alongside Momo and J, and Togashi even pulling out a win against Senkuu, as more new fighters get added to their roster, they're pretty much left in the dust once the Heaven-Challenging Tournament comes around. Each of them only gets one solo fight in the tournament, plus one two-on-two fight with both of them and Toramaru getting to be Manjimaru's partner in another two-on-two fight (where he didn't get to do a lot). Even in the Great Trembling Conquest, Toramaru didn't do a lot in his tag team fight—but with Date Omito as your partner, that might be expected. Even if Toramaru usually was the one to finish off the second opponent alone in his tag team fights with Togashi, given Togashi's tendency to "die" while taking out the first one, Toramaru really only has two solo fights in the whole series—against Gekkou and Kyrgyz Khan, over 20 volumes apart. Several characters get more than that in a single volume.

Tragic Keepsake: Togashi's hat, passed down from his older brother who perished in the Great Trembling Conquest. In the live action movie, Oni-Hige gives Togashi his brother's dagger the night before the Three Great Trials of Terror, though it only makes one appearance and Togashi never even uses it in his battle.

Taking the Bullet: Happens a few times, but the straightest example is when the four Lords of Death form an advancing human wall for Momo and the rest of the surviving team after the final battle of the Heaven-Challenging Olympic Tournament, protecting them from machine gun fire so they can reach Todo. This being Otokojuku, the Lords of Death are said to have survived afterwards, but had no appearances for the rest of the manga (save for one silent cameo at the end of the Seven Tusks). In The Legend of Edajima Heihachi, the commander of the Japanese navy protects Edajima in this way against an elite mercenary sent to kill him.

Lazy Artist: Zig-zagged by Toichiro Yanagida, the artist of Daigouin Jaki Gaiden. While the fight scenes are dynamic enough and the art style works well for the Otokojuku designs, for any panels where characters are just standing around or are being shown reacting to something, there's a lot of obvious copy-pasting of only a few drawings of the character. Some pages can have the same image being pasted multiple times in separate panels, just with different levels of zoom.

Adaptation Dye-Job: Several characters got a different hair colour in the anime from what they were shown with on the colour manga covers: Akashi Gouji: White to black. Henshouki: Black to white. J: Brown to blonde. Manjimaru: Light yellow to dark blue. Hien: Orange to pink (though an early manga cover does show Hien with light pink hair rather than orange, and a later one shows him as blonde, so maybe he was getting actual dye jobs) Many characters who were shown with brown hair on the covers also got black hair for the anime instead.

Time to Unlock More True Potential
 Sakigake!! Otokojuku (Manga) / int_a97dc2ea
comment
Time to Unlock More True Potential: Zig-zagged. Many established characters show off some new move or style in each of their battles, which doesn't always stick. Justified with characters like Raiden, who are explicitly stated to know several different kinds of martial arts. For some characters the new move becomes a returning staple for them (such as J's Flash Piston Mach Punch) and others are never heard of again (like any of Togashi and Toramaru's tag team attacks). Baron Deino is perhaps the most jarring example, as most characters who show off something new does it as an extension of their established style. Not so for Deino—partway through the Great Heaven-Challenging Tournament, he switches to "Hell's Magician" style, using a deck of cards, misdirection and sleight of hand—which doesn't have any resemblance to the way he fought prior to that. Henshouki also switches to using bats, which hadn't been seen before then, even if his name does translate to "bat demon". Inverted with Manjimaru, who could create 10 images of himself when fighting J in the Great Trembling Conquest, but says he can do at most 5 when fighting Gemini in the Heaven-Challenging Tournament. And then is able to do 10 again in the chronologically earlier Daigouin Jaki Gaiden.

Scars are Forever
 Sakigake!! Otokojuku (Manga) / int_ad94c7a0
comment
Scars Are Forever: Extremely zig-zagged. If a character has some kind of scars or damage on their body in their initial appearance, they will have it forever and it will never fade at all, such as Togashi's and Date's facial scars. Any damage taken during the many fights in the series will be completely patched up and never hinted at again, which in at least one gratuitous case includes a lost limb being reattached to the character in their next appearance with no mention of the event ever again. Any scars (or tattoos, for that matter) introduced in backstory after the character's initial arc will only ever show up when relevant to the scene. In the Great Heaven-Challenging Tournament arc, Edajima shows that he has some very prominent scars on his chest from machine gun fire in the war, but any shirtless scenes he has prior to or after that arc—and even some during it, after they've been well established—show him completely spotless. In Akatsuki!! Otokojuku, he also shows several scars from cuts across his belly, which he states are from all the times in his life he has committed seppuku, which of course never worked on him, and they're only ever seen in that one scene.

Retcon: When Eikei first uses his poison fist, it's as a final move by pouring a deadly poison on his hand, which is supposed to slowly kill him as well. By the time his first fight in the Heaven-Challenging Tournament comes around, it's become his primary fighting style, and is now explained to come from sticking your hand into a pot full of poisonous substances, plants and insects over the course of a long time. Interestingly, both variants are later confirmed to exist in Akatsuki!! Otokojuku—one character uses the "pour poison on the hands" version, and it's mentioned that it's a way to obtain it instantly while killing the user as opposed to using the pot.

In Daigouin Jaki Gaiden, a prison named Aruka-Torazu shows up, said to have been the inspiration for the American Alcatraz.

Shout-Out: Matsuo's haircut is that of Sazae-san. Michele (that's a guy, by the way) looks way too much like Lady Oscar to be a coincidence. And he's French to boot. Toramaru and Togashi even mock him, saying "He looks like he came out straight of a Shoujo manga!" Momotaro's father in The Legend of Edajima Heihachi is named Tsurugi Jotaro. The female pirate captain's flashback in Kurenai!! Onnajuku has her and her crew standing with their backs to the camera and their right arms raised in a fist, identical to the Straw Hat crew's pose when leaving Alabasta in One Piece. The Minmei entry for the Kraken in the same chapter has one to Squid Girl, of all things.

Legacy Character: The Three Fists, having a 2000-year history. Each generation has the same faces, names, and general techniques, and are found through phrenology. The Three Fists in Sakigake!! Otokojuku are the 152nd Three Fists, while Akatsuki!! Otokojuku features an appearance of the 153rd, and Date Omito Gaiden the 151st. Token Evil Teammate: The 151st Raiden is the only one to have been expelled from the Three Fists due to this. The 153rd Three Fists also count, as they're working for the villainous Sodom World Council. The War Gods of Olympus appear to follow this as well, being a team of hand-picked soldiers of exceptional skill who are granted relevant names from mythology. Most of them are names of gods, like their leader Zeus, but there's also a Centaur, and both names show up on different characters in both Sakigake and Akatsuki.

Series Continuity Error
 Sakigake!! Otokojuku (Manga) / int_ca95473c
comment
Series Continuity Error: There's several references to Otokojuku having a 300 year long history, with students having been sent to fight in World War II. But in the final arc and later in Akatsuki!! Otokojuku, it's said that Edajima founded it, even giving the number of 13 years ago in the final volume of the original manga. Gets weird when you remember that the Four Great Trials of Terror were supposed to be Otokojuku's greatest specialty, and Edajima himself was the only one who had survived it, 50 years prior. And that Jaki had ruled Otokojuku for 14 years. In The Legend of Edajima Heihachi, Togashi's father Togashi Genzo shows up. So does his wife and one child, but in Sakigake!! Otokojuku it was established that Togashi enrolled in Otokojuku to find out the truth about his older brother's death. A slightly modified versions of the Four Great Trials of Terror show up in Akatsuki!! Otokojuku, with only two participants taking on one trial each, battling Fuukai and Rinkai at the Burning Sulphur Vein and Midair Cliff respectively before continuing. Shishimaru even comments that he's moving through the same tunnel as his father... except that they're on Mount Hakone, whereas the Four Great Trials of Terror in the original manga happened at Mount Fuji. A small one regarding Edogawa: In Akatsuki, he states that he's in his twentieth year at Otokojuku. Since Akatsuki takes place twenty years after Sakigake, when Edogawa was a second-year, he should have been at Otokojuku for at least 21 years, even if he somehow started out as a second-year.

Taking You with Me: Oh, yes. In the Four Great Trials, J, Togashi and Toramaru all finish their fights like this (they survive, and so do their opponents). In the Great Trembling Conquest, Togashi intends to finish Senkuu this way, but Senkuu saves him (Senkuu survives). In the Heaven-Challenging Tournament, Baron Deino does it to Suiketsu (Deino survives). Both Akashi Gouji and Akashi Juzo (in Akatsuki!! Otokojuku) have finished opponents by stabbing their sword through themselves (they always survive).

Killed Off for Real
 Sakigake!! Otokojuku (Manga) / int_cda501da
comment
Killed Off for Real: Lots of opponents in the Heaven-Challenging Tournament and Seven Tusks arcs. Out of Otokojuku students, Dokugantetsu, Henshouki, Jaki and Gobarski had unambiguous onscreen deaths. Akashi Gouji and Baron Deino were never seen again after their final "deaths" in the original manga either, but theirs were a bit less definite. Akatsuki!! Otokojuku muddles things a bit by having Dokugantetsu, Gobarski, Deino and Gouji show up 20 years later, although the first three only appear in a chapter announcing the release of the live-action Otokojuku movie and could thus be considered of dubious canonicity. Akashi Gouji survived for real, though, since his son—who is clearly less than 20 years old—is a primary character. In Akatsuki!! Otokojuku, not counting antagonists, Gunpei, Ah Fu-Lo and Liu-Yan die and actually stay dead. A bunch of other characters appear to die, sometimes graphically so on-screen... but, this being Otokojuku, of course they come back at the end of the arc.

Lighter and Softer: To an extent, the anime adaptation. As an example, the guillotine that Togashi and Edogwa are put in by Akashi is a real guillotine in the manga, but a "rock guillotine" in the anime. Which does allow Togashi to show his guts more by simply breaking the rock with his head when it gets dropped, whereas in the manga he was saved by Momo. Kurenai!! Onnajuku is this art-wise, being drawn way softer, but only barely content-wise. There are some instances, like girl-Togashi stabbing a jar of strawberry jam when faking seppuku instead of a cat like her predecessor did, but largely Onnajuku is as brutal and hellish as Otokojuku was.

The very first time we see Momotaro angry and overexerting himself in a fight is when he's in the middle of a handshake with a jerkass American transfer student. Momotaro puts so much strength into it that his headband rips in half as an analogue to shirt-ripping and Kong's hand is crushed.

Character Catchphrase: Heihachi's undoubtedly memetic "I AM THE PRINCIPAL OF OTOKOJUKU, EDAJIMA HEIHACHI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!". In the early chapters, this was just about the ONLY thing he said. In Kurenai!! Onnajuku, he's added the new school name, turning it into "I AM THE PRINCIPAL OF OTOKOJUKU AND ONNAJUKU, EDAJIMA HEIHACHI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" even though Otokojuku no longer exists (other than as the predecessor to Onnajuku). Matsuo's "I have a bad premonition." J's "You are not my match." Spoken in English. Inherited by his granddaughter JK in Kurenai!! Onnajuku. Akashi Gouji has "Straight-Line Style Rock-Slicing Sword! There's not a thing in this world my sword can't cut!!", which is inherited by his son Akashi Juzo.

Training from Hell
 Sakigake!! Otokojuku (Manga) / int_d66cd0e6
comment
Training from Hell: Daily activity of Otokojuku. To put it simply, the only subject that matters in Otokojuku is this, both educational and (especially) physical. Various forms show up in the backstories of various characters, but the most hellish of them all is likely the Lone Slaughter Battle, where a hundred orphans are put in an inescapable ravine and forced to fight each other to the death until there's only one left, who's then subjected to even more harsh training. Date Omito, Shiran, and the Eight Tusks went through it. Date rebelled against the masters he was meant to have become a pawn for after finishing his training, killing them all and ending the practice of the Lone Slaughter Battle.

Fake Ultimate Mook: Edogawa himself is this. He's an incredibly burly fellow who's probably one of Otokojuku's tallest students, which makes him an imposing person by build alone, and he becomes downright demonic whenever he uses his "Face Reversal" technique, as he gets a look of pure murderous rage on his face, with his veins bulging from his head, his eyes wide open in fury, and his teeth bared like a wild animal, something that the anime makes even more intimidating by being him glowing red eyes when he does so, making him look like extremely dangerous to fight. However he is just as much of a pushover as most of the Second Years.

comment
The penultimate arc, the Seven Tusks, might be the most glorious example of invoking this trope ever put to paper. In short: Edajima gets captured, and is imprisoned in a satellite in orbit around Earth. To get him back, the Otokojuku team has to collect seven floppy disks by going through seven "battlegrounds", the Tusks. They proceed through the first four, losing Akashi Gouji (though Akatsuki!! Otokojuku shows that he survived) at the end of the fourth. Then Todo Hyoei shows up and splits the team into three, each one supposed to take on one of the remaining tusks. The group headed by Momo travels to Bugen Castle, where they're supposed to fight four opponents. Momo defeats the first one, though not before Gobarski gets killed. They are attacked by the next opponent, a ninja who can disguise himself as anyone... and then the castle is destroyed entirely out of nowhere. While Otokojuku was fighting, Edajima had actually managed to rescue himself from his space prison, by breaking out of the satellite and boarding an American space shuttle that happened to pass by and go with them to Earth. Then he gathered all of Otokojuku's instructors and students, including those who were supposed to be fighting in the other tusks and the Four Lords, and traveled to Bugen Castle with a bunch of wrecking ball cranes, demolishing the whole thing and getting his students back himself, thereby completely annulling the point of the whole arc.

History Repeats: Kurenai!! Onnajuku sees the same events taking place two generations later, only with a female cast this time. There are some differences, some events are compressed and combined, a small number of entirely new things happen, and also some changes like the Rugby game against the Kanto Great Student Alliance becoming a Lacrosse game with exploding balls instead of the poison.

Composite Character: In the live action movie, Tange is essentially a mix of Edogawa and Maruyama. With Raiden Adapted Out, some of his traits were transferred to Gekkou instead. Kurenai!! Onnajuku doesn't add any female counterparts for Hikoubou or Tetsu Kabuto, leaving Oni-Hige's counterpart Oni-Momiage as the only instructor shown. Consequently, she takes the place of whichever of the other two instructors did something in the original.

Unexplained Recovery: Several times throughout this series characters "die" only to come back without explanation. For example, several people fall into acid but then are just somehow alive by the begining of the next arc, often with no explanation given. If there's anything said about it, it's usually related to Wang Ta-Ren and "3000 years of Chinese medicine". In fact Miyashita made it worse by using his thin-worn trope of having someone demonstrate that the hazards in the fight are real, so one couldn't even assume it wasn't actually acid. Rasetsu cuts off his own arm in his fight against Sanen, but the next time he shows up he has both of his arms again.

Taiketsu has a technique which allows him to become a human top. Liu-Yan in Akatsuki!! Otokojuku manages to block the Deadly Wind Vacuum Wave by spinning.

Younger Than They Look: Almost every student looks at least 30. They're 16-18. In a subversion, Jaki is at least 28 years old and he's a third-year. Wrap your head around THAT one. All the named third-years may really be a subversion, as they seem to be more like an organization than a grade. Wang Ta-Ren mentions that Togashi will face the same opponents as his older brother did in the Great Trembling Conquest, meaning that Dokugantetsu and Senkuu had been third-years for a minimum of three years. Daigouin Jaki Gaiden confirms that the Corridor Trio and the Four Lords were already third-year students and looked essentially the same when Jaki arrived at Otokojuku, which was more than ten years before Sakigake. Edajima is said to be over 150 years old in Kurenai!! Onnajuku, but doesn't look any older than he did in the time of Akatsuki!! Otokojuku.

Crossover: Sora Yori Takaku, also by Miyashita, takes place between Sakigake and Akatsuki in the same universe and some characters appear in both. For instance, the sumo wrestler Gokaimaru in Akatsuki!! Otokojuku originated in Sora Yori Takaku. In the other direction, it features a retired Edajima with Togashi as his assistant, and Momo shows up as well.

During the Great Heaven-Challenging Tournament, Edajima arrives to help his students by piloting an old Zero airplane. When he patches up the plane and leaves, he actually doesn't have enough fuel for the return trip and laments he can't literally fly it with just his Yamato Damashii powers. Not to worry, though, as he steals a jet from one of Toudo's henchmen midflight and later crashes it against the villain's escape helicopter at the end of the tournament.

Unskilled, but Strong
 Sakigake!! Otokojuku (Manga) / int_f25b1ae6
comment
Unskilled, but Strong: Toramaru is this more than anything else. While he does pull some tricks, his "Fierce Tiger" style is entirely invented by himself, and he's essentially the only fighter in the entire series without any kind of gimmicks, relying on brute strength first and foremost. In a sense, for most of their fights, this also applies to the protagonists in general when compared to their opponents. First Momo, Togashi, J and Toramaru in the Four Great Trials of Terror, then when they're joined by Date and the Three Fists in the Great Trembling Conquest, and then all of Otokojuku in the Heaven-Challenging Tournament. Usually, their opponents are presented as much stronger, with better training, and should logically be outclassing them. It's even brought up when they are about to fight Gandhara in the preliminaries of the tournament—Otokojuku has already suffered two casualties and most of the rest of the team is pretty beat up, whereas the Gandhara team doesn't even have a scratch. But Otokojuku still powers through everything and pull out a lot of their wins from their unparalleled sheer tenacity, guts and never staying down, no matter how much of a beating they take. Date Omito is the shining exception even in the Great Trembling Conquest, probably being the best fighter on the Otokojuku team—often having more conclusive victories than even Momo. In addition to the Otokojuku tenacity, of course. Jaki seems like he would be an exception as well and is most likely stronger than Date, but his only two fights after the Great Trembling Conquest are against extremely strong opponents in what's among the most evenly matched and violent fights in the series.

Running Gag: Absolutely everything, including rugby, pogo sticks, ice skating and ping pong are derived from ancient Chinese fighting styles. Except for a few that's Greek. Every time any of this is explained, it comes with a wall of text from the narrator and an in-universe literary source for the information. Everything ever mentioned by anyone is a "Otokojuku's specialty". In the Great Heaven-Challenging Tournament, Togashi and Toramaru try to take the stage for the fight, but are inevitably stopped by one of the others on their team. And when they finally do get to take their turn, they're surprised that nobody's stopping them.

Theme Naming

comment
Theme Naming: Except for the leaders, everybody in the Ryouzanpaku has "-ketsu" in their name.note In Japanese, the name of the team is "Ryozanpaku 16-ketsu". The Three Fists are all named after Japanese World War II fighter planes.

Talking Is a Free Action

comment
Talking Is a Free Action: Fighters on both sides always take the time to let the opponent name and sometimes explain their fighting styles. Hilariously subverted when Edajima knocks his first opponent in the Heaven-Challenging Tournament out with one punch while they were in the middle of naming their technique.

Cut Short
 Sakigake!! Otokojuku (Manga) / int_ffa0483f
comment
Cut Short: The Seven Tusks arc's interruption led straight to a short ending arc that left many plot points unadressed and the main cast with a utterly uneventful third year at Otokojuku. To make matters worse, the anime was cancelled due to the protests of the Parent-Teacher Association in Japan. In detail: The penultimate arc, the Seven Tusks, might be the most glorious example of invoking this trope ever put to paper. In short: Edajima gets captured, and is imprisoned in a satellite in orbit around Earth. To get him back, the Otokojuku team has to collect seven floppy disks by going through seven "battlegrounds", the Tusks. They proceed through the first four, losing Akashi Gouji (though Akatsuki!! Otokojuku shows that he survived) at the end of the fourth. Then Todo Hyoei shows up and splits the team into three, each one supposed to take on one of the remaining tusks. The group headed by Momo travels to Bugen Castle, where they're supposed to fight four opponents. Momo defeats the first one, though not before Gobarski gets killed. They are attacked by the next opponent, a ninja who can disguise himself as anyone... and then the castle is destroyed entirely out of nowhere. While Otokojuku was fighting, Edajima had actually managed to rescue himself from his space prison, by breaking out of the satellite and boarding an American space shuttle that happened to pass by and go with them to Earth. Then he gathered all of Otokojuku's instructors and students, including those who were supposed to be fighting in the other tusks and the Four Lords, and traveled to Bugen Castle with a bunch of wrecking ball cranes, demolishing the whole thing and getting his students back himself, thereby completely annulling the point of the whole arc. Then in the final volume came the Fu'un Rakanjuku arc, where Otokojuku and Rakanjuku were supposed to compete in a series of five matches. Then the fourth match, between Momo and the Rakanjuku main representative, consists of stealing crests from local Yakuza gangs. The gang that the Rakanjuku representative heads to believe he is from the other gang, so they capture him and call the other gang about it, which leads to Momo going to rescue him, with all of Otokojuku and Rakanjuku showing up as backup. Edajima and Kumada, the Rakanjuku principal, conclude that there's no longer any point in finishing the competition, as the final match was meant to be about team spirit, and both sides had already joined together as one with the same goal. This arc lasted 10 chapters. One can assume the manga was dropping in popularity and simply got cancelled. This is Shonen Jump after all. The anime adaptation ends after the Great Trembling Conquest, and doesn't even include all of it. Togashi, Date, Toramaru and Gekkou's battles are all relegated to a short recap by Edajima.
