Samurai Deeper Kyo is a thirty-eight volume manga by Akimine Kamijyo about the exploits of Shiina Yuya, a sixteen year old bounty hunter seeking revenge for her older brother's death, who meets Mibu Kyoshiro, a medicine peddler, and Demon Eyes Kyo, who is trapped in Kyoshiro's body.And then it gets complicated.Cue an Anachronism Stew, a large cast, loads and loads of Character Development, lots of badassery, several Quirky Miniboss Squads, several BFSes, and what is probably the biggest Bodyguard Crush in history.The manga was serialized in Weekly Shonen Magazine from October 15th, 1999 to May 20th, 2006. It was adapted to a 26-episode anime that aired in 2002.Kyo and friends appear in the Massive Multiplayer Crossover game, Sunday VS Magazine: Shuuketsu! Choujou Daikessen. | |

| Samurai Deeper Kyo (Manga) / int_10dcbe05 | comment |
Aw, Look! They Really Do Love Each Other: Kyo and Yuya in the last couple of chapters and the epilogue (there are moments earlier, but they're few and far between). Perhaps most evident after her Cooldown Hug breaks him out of his supposedly-irreversible "Demon God" state. | |

Jekyll & Hyde | |
| Samurai Deeper Kyo (Manga) / int_12e8e69b | comment |
Jekyll & Hyde: Kyo and Kyoshiro. Subverted in the manga, played straight in the anime. In the Alternate Universe of the anime, Demon Eyes Kyo is actually the Id of Kyoshiro which he split from himself and placed in an Artificial Human body; they later reunite in their original body after Kyoshiro defeats Kyo, but this time as split personalities. | |

Played with in Kyo's case. He's even more thoroughly Covered with Scars than Akira, but his established status as a Anti-Hero of the highest order means they aren't as jarring as they might be on a typical hero. The scars on his face are also more understated. | |

Unequal Pairing: Kyo is twelve years older than Yuya (28 to her 16), attains Physical God levels of power by the end of the manga, and early on in the story he physically intimidates and randomly gropes her on a regular basis. Thankfully, she doesn't start having any kind of feelings for him until he dials back the Jerkass behavior a lot. | |

Official Couple: Kyo and Yuya and Kyoshiro and Sakuya. In the manga at least. In the anime, there's only Yuya's crush on Kyo/Kyoshiro and their growing feelings for her. They are shown to have gotten together in the epilogue in the last episode — where Kyo and Kyoshiro have been reunited into a single individual — which takes place years later. Also Benitora and Mahiro in the ending of the anime. | |

As for Bontenmaru's reason for taking over the entirety of Japan? He wants to take it over so people can live their lives in peace. | |

| Samurai Deeper Kyo (Manga) / int_372f29ac | comment |
One-Handed Zweihänder: Multiple characters wield enormous weapons one-handed, but the most notable is Hishigi. Hakuya is over five feet long, roughly six inches wide, and the length of the grip clearly indicates that it's meant to be a two-handed sword. Hishigi's left hand never touches it, probably because the Death Disease has internally destroyed most of his left side. | |

Scenery Gorn: The scenery suffers a few times, notably when the Shiseiten use their combination attack and level a huge area of the Mibu stronghold. There's also the fight between Hishigi and Yuan, which rips up the terrain around them as they deflect and avoid each other's extremely powerful attacks. | |

Personality Powers | |
| Samurai Deeper Kyo (Manga) / int_4bf3d8d7 | comment |
Personality Powers: Subverted. Hotaru, who uses fire, nearly always remains calm and relaxed while fighting. Yuan plays the intense personality of the fire stereotype straighter, but he's still a nice, friendly guy overall. The ice specialist, Akira, presents a collected front and tries to stay that way, but he's easily frustrated when certain buttons are pushed. And water-user Shinrei loses his cool at the drop of a hat. | |

Good Scars, Evil Scars | |
| Samurai Deeper Kyo (Manga) / int_4efc4fae | comment |
Good Scars, Evil Scars: Subverted by Yuya, who has a hideous scar on her stomach (though it does get de-hideoused later on). Played straight by Hishigi, whose entire left side is covered in disfiguring scars because of the Devil Eyes. It gets even worse after the eyes are destroyed, leaving bloody craters all over the left side of his body and face. Also played straight by Akira; he's Covered with Scars, but they're usually hidden by his clothes (most of them are on his back) and don't have any impact on his appearance. Played with in Kyo's case. He's even more thoroughly Covered with Scars than Akira, but his established status as a Anti-Hero of the highest order means they aren't as jarring as they might be on a typical hero. The scars on his face are also more understated. | |

Kyoshiro is seen reading his wanted poster, Yuya shows up and meets him for the first time, and Kyo returns in Kyoshiro's body at the end of the first chapter. The story ends three years after Kyo's disappearance/possible death with the fall of the Crimson Tower. Yuya is seen reading his wanted poster, Kyoshiro shows up to meet her, and Kyo returns in his own body at the end of the final chapter. | |

It's the standard for people dealing with Hishigi. Even Kyo gets an Oh, Crap! moment when Hishigi pulls off a Flash Step from a good twenty feet away, and suddenly he is right in front of Kyo and Kyo's legs are petrified. Sasuke has a simultaneous and more expressive one. They both would have been dead if Kyoshiro hadn't stepped in. | |

Mutual Disadvantage | |
| Samurai Deeper Kyo (Manga) / int_57775436 | comment |
Mutual Disadvantage: Yuan claims that he and Hishigi are "still even", and he might be right — they're both extremely powerful and extremely fast, and that's why the only casualty of their battle so far has been the terrain around them. Hishigi says he can tell that Yuan is running out of stamina, but he agrees they've reached a deadlock after the next exchange of blows continues to yield no advantage to either of them. As it turns out, Hishigi is not using all of his available power, but Yuan doesn't know that. | |

Enfante Terrible: Tokito starts off as one of these. Subverted because the timeline proves he's at least a few decades older than he looks, but he presents as a child (14 according to the fanbook) because his adult body looks more like Muramasa. When she was actually a child, she was perfectly nice. Kyo was one; when he killed Nobunaga at Honnoji, he was six years old. | |

Elemental Rock-Paper-Scissors | |
| Samurai Deeper Kyo (Manga) / int_83b89a9c | comment |
Elemental Rock-Paper-Scissors: Subverted. Some characters (especially Hotaru and Shinrei, see Elemental Rivalry above) will claim that their personal element has an advantage over another, but events throughout the story prove that superiority is determined by the wielder's skill and individual strength rather than their elemental affinity. Hotaru initially overpowers Shinrei despite severe injuries from fighting Kyo, but only because he's using his Hono Chikewai, which gives him a huge boost of power but causes damage over time. Shinrei ultimately comes out on top because Hotaru's boost wears off. And later, both of them get mercilessly curbstomped by Fubuki, a true master of water. | |

Specific examples of subversion below: Akira is cheerfully slaughtering away on the battlefield by the time he's ten, and was a jaded street kid before Kyo found him. The Mibu have no problem with using child soldiers. As if it needs to be said, Kyo himself. He killed Nobunaga when he was six. Six. | |

Bodyguard Crush | |
| Samurai Deeper Kyo (Manga) / int_96f6335d | comment |
Bodyguard Crush: It is a very rare occurrence that Kyo's Unstoppable Rage trigger is something other than Yuya being directly threatened. Not that he'll admit he cares. In the anime, it's strongly implied Saizō has a crush on Yukimura. It's not helped by Yukimura teasing him ("What are you, my wife?" followed by "If it pleases you, my lord". Then there's Saizō blushing and his comment when Yukimura disguises himself as a woman. The kimono "really suits you" indeed.) While not exactly a bodyguard, Hishigi seems to have one on Fubuki. He throws himself in front of Kyo's most powerful attacks for him, and his only motivation is Fubuki's survival. | |

"Not So Different" Remark | |
| Samurai Deeper Kyo (Manga) / int_984ef9ef | comment |
"Not So Different" Remark: While he's vanishing for the second time, Sasuke notices that, in the end, Nobunaga was not so different from them. Kyo tries to pull this on Hishigi in a flashback, saying that he's a coward like her and that's why he's avoiding his moral qualms about the Mibu Reconstruction Project. Hishigi has to take a second before he says that they're nothing alike. | |

Foreshadowing: Mibu-created Artificial Humans (the forest failures, rare breed, and other genetic experiments) dissolve into nothing when they die and cannot be resurrected. The same thing happens when the Mibu themselves die. Near the end of the manga, Fubuki reveals that they're artificial constructs, too. | |

Samus Is a Girl: Tokito, who stops Bontenmaru's fists with three fingers and actually punches through him, despite the fact that one of his biceps is bigger around than her waist. She also starts off completely overwhelming Akira in their fight, and continues to do a massive amount of damage to him even after he powers up and starts to match her. Admittedly, some fans weren't convinced she was a boy in the first place. | |

Tokito, who got taken in by the facade, actually starts plotting to overthrow him until the Former scared the living daylights out of her with murderous intent, showing Tokito and readers the true nature of the Former Crimson King. | |

Oh, Crap!: A common reaction to shit getting real. Most people fighting Kyo get at least one moment like this. It's the standard for people dealing with Hishigi. Even Kyo gets an Oh, Crap! moment when Hishigi pulls off a Flash Step from a good twenty feet away, and suddenly he is right in front of Kyo and Kyo's legs are petrified. Sasuke has a simultaneous and more expressive one. They both would have been dead if Kyoshiro hadn't stepped in. | |

Abusive Parents: Shinrei and Hotaru's father. He actually sent assassins after Hotaru, his illegitimate son. He also had Hotaru's mother killed and framed her death as suicide. For the most part, he just had ridiculously high expectations of Shinrei, but he also was seen hitting a very young Shinrei hard enough to knock him over for saying that the "Demon Child" had saved his life and was not evil. | |

Artificial Humans: The Mibu Reconstruction Plan's genetic experiments; forest-dwelling "failures", the rare breed like Sasuke, and biological weapons like the Berserkers. A major twist near the end of the manga reveals that every living member of the Mibu clan is actually a descendant of Battle Dolls created by the True Mibu. Kyo is the only remaining descendent of the original clan. In the anime, the above plot twist is inverted. Only Kyo is a construct; he's Kyoshiro's Id split from the rest of his soul and placed in an artificial body. | |

She is very much not amused when she realizes the truth, and retaliates by shooting at Kyoshiro and then tying him up and leaving him hanging upside down in a tree. when he tries a "Just Joking" Justification, she shuts him right the hell down and says it was insensitive and horrible. | |

| Samurai Deeper Kyo (Manga) / int_e43c66bd | comment |
Art Evolution: Both character designs and scenery become more refined and unique as the story progresses, especially once the protagonists arrive in Mibu territory and we get to see their elaborate city and structures. | |

He Who Must Not Be Seen | |
| Samurai Deeper Kyo (Manga) / int_e52a0cac | comment |
He Who Must Not Be Seen: Sakuya spends 32 volumes hidden behind her bangs, and the manga-ka is fond of "lighting" characters whose faces we aren't to see yet from the back, or putting them in elaborate, face-covering costumes | |

The Mole | |
| Samurai Deeper Kyo (Manga) / int_e70127 | comment |
The Mole: Yukimura, when he pretends to defect to the Mibu's side. Chinmei, as Spade, to get his hands on Tokito's demonblade. Akari subverts this trope by virtue of mind control. Kyoshiro pretends to defect to the Crimson King's side in order to motivate Kyo and eventually give his body back. | |

Guns Are Worthless | |
| Samurai Deeper Kyo (Manga) / int_eb4ee9eb | comment |
Guns Are Worthless: Yuya's three-barreled pepperpot revolver, while cool, very quickly becomes obsolete against any real threat. The manga lampshades this when Akari takes Yuya's gun to shoot at Santera, and then throws the gun away when Santera stops the bullets. | |

Homage Shot | |
| Samurai Deeper Kyo (Manga) / int_efa2d938 | comment |
Homage Shot: The manga opens with a lay-out and narration content ridiculously reminiscent of the first page of Rurouni Kenshin, which was still running at the time. The series probably originated as an attempt to cash in on Rurouni Kenshin's popularity as historical drama with legendary swordsman incognito, but found its own very weird voice pretty quickly. More precisely: SDK's first page runs, page-width panels going down: Meanwhile, Ruro Ken starts with, also page-width panels: | |

Chekhov M.I.A.: We are told that Mibu Kyoichiro (the first of the Crimson Cross Knights) went missing and is probably dead. He's the Former Crimson King. | |

Promotion to Parent: Yuan's sister Anna, and Yuan himself to a lesser extent. Their father isn't dead, but he's not around often. | |

Licking the Blade: Name a character. Odds are good that they've done this at least once. Naturally, Kyo is the most frequent offender. | |

You Killed My Father | |
| Samurai Deeper Kyo (Manga) / int_fb6b207f | comment |
You Killed My Mother: Yuan loses his shit when he finds out who killed his mother (he knew the Crimson King had ordered her assassination, but not who had personally done it). Subverted in that the villain in question is still stronger than Yuan, and Yuan is not the one who ends up taking him down. | |

Wouldn't Hit a Girl | |
| Samurai Deeper Kyo (Manga) / int_fc45bac0 | comment |
Wouldn't Hit a Girl: Subverted, as the gentlemen of the cast have no problem hitting their female enemies. Yukimura plays with this trope - one can assume he wouldn't hesitate to fight a woman if he really needed to, but Kamijyo mentioned while confirming Basara's gender that Yukimura would never have killed a woman like that. Yuan also says he doesn't want to fight Akari because she's a girl, but he didn't hesitate to stomp Okuni earlier, so take that as you will. | |

| Samurai Deeper Kyo (Manga) / int_ff191f42 | comment |
The Idiot from Osaka: Both Benitora and Chinmei subvert it. Benitora is actually Tokugawa Hidetada and seems to have adopted the accent as part of his disguise; Chinmei's goofy accent is a deliberate juxtaposition to his vicious and deranged personality. | |
