Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })This is a story about Mutta Nanba and his younger brother, Hibito. Mutta considers himself Born Unlucky, and considers Hibito much luckier. When they were kids, they started to get interested in space, and after seeing a UFO one fateful night, they make a vow to one day become astronauts......However, almost 20 years have passed since that night. And while Hibito is the one who had actually pursued part of their dream and become an astronaut for JAXA (Japan Aerospace eXploration Agency, Japan's NASA equivalent), Mutta, on the other hand, decided to work as a salaryman in a car company.After Mutta's boss makes fun of Hibito going to the moon, Mutta headbutts his boss and is summarily fired. After a call from Hibito, Mutta remembers the promise they had made as children and is inspired to follow his childhood dream. However, Mutta's far from even achieving his dream of going to space, seeing as he hasn't even taken the first entrance exam yet... How is Mutta ever going to fulfill his personal philosophy that "the older brother should always be ahead of the younger brother"?Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Space Brothers, known in Japan as Uchuu Kyoudai, is a seinen manga made by Chuuya Koyama, which began serialization in Morning magazine in 2007.

Sure, Let's Go with That: Mutta is celebrated and even given wide news coverage for supposedly taking down a robber, but in reality Mutta was just chasing after Apo and the saving part happened by chance. He doesn't correct the newscasters because he wants to impress a few American ladies in the audience. Again in chapter 248 it was the soccer ball that turned on the stitch,then again, Mutta DID went down to the cockpit as soon he noticed. | |

The Cameo: Buzz Aldrin appears in the movie adaptation taking the same role as Deneil Young has in the series, and Japanese astronaut Akihiko Hoshide provided his voice in the 31st episode from the anime, recorded and performed from space. Also, creator Chuuya Koyama provided his voice in an extra character. Another Japanese astronaut, Soichi Noguchi, even became a recurring character, appearing in two episodes of the anime. | |

| Space Brothers (Manga) / int_1c5002bc | comment |
The Stoic: Nanba-papa. He rarely smiles or show affection and he's snarky even to his wife. But, as it also happens, he loves his sons so much... he is way too dubious about how is Hibito going to arrive at the moon, and after he lands, it's one of the first times you see him proud about the fact. Azuma doesn't display so much feelings about his comrades... however, he has a reason to do it: It's about his own understatement of his own being. Vincent as well having the same cool and calculated expression on his face at all times. Pico asks him, if he forgot how to use his facial muscles. | |

Green-Eyed Monster: Mutta feels like this at times about his little brother. Not only because he is going to go to the moon earlier than him, to the point that he wasn't surely happy or not about him when the shuttle was going to happen, but he is just a different person than he is. But he is an aversion of this because, at the end, they are brothers. Nitta turns out to be one towards Mutta because of his healthy relationship with his brother while Nitta struggles to get along with his. | |

We All Die Someday | |
| Space Brothers (Manga) / int_1dd12556 | comment |
We All Die Someday: It's true that when someone becomes an astronaut has to think that someday the person in question would die in the middle of the space if something goes wrong. It's natural that the space agencies ask their astronauts to do a will before going to space. Everyone in the Exams arc are dubious to sign the agreement to confirm that if they get selected they are acknowledging this. Especially Mutta, after reading the Hibito's will. In fact, after being selected to the Exam phase in the States, Azuma asks Mutta if he did have the resolve to die. To which he first lies, and then he confesses that he really wants to keep living. Not only HE responded like that, but Hibito also did and also did Azuma to Brian Jay in the past. | |

Oblivious to Love: Serika, Serika, Serika. Everyone knows that Mutta has a thing for Serika, except Serika. Until chapter 267 when she realizes that Mutta's aerobatic smoke trail wasn't Baltan, thanks to some zero-gravity mayonnaise. Hibito. Olga has a crush on him, but he either doesn't realize it or is just ignoring the situation because of the age difference. | |

Gratuitous English: Since it's a story about going to space and being astronauts, the series has to reccur too much in this, especially since most of the time the series has a focus on the USA. Sometimes, not everything is accurate, however. | |

Out of Focus | |
| Space Brothers (Manga) / int_32da91b8 | comment |
Out of Focus: Often one of the Namba brothers is subject to this, usually to support the other's plotline or a minor character's backstory. Straight following up when the preliminary JAXA selection exams happened. The focus changed mostly towards team A and B when they become isolated, until 9 of those people were selected to become the final candidates. It also happens again to the people who weren't chosen in that next phase, who had a chapter dedicated to each of them that served as background to keep following their dreams to go and/or help that part of the industry like Furuya in the former, and Fukuda in the later). It happens when several parts of the formal training of the international candidates when they are divided into groups. You just know that the author will focus in the main characters' team several times, especially when they are being held into selected who is going into what mission. | |

Secret Test of Character | |
| Space Brothers (Manga) / int_3f7a958b | comment |
Secret Test of Character: It's frequently applied to the characters when they are focused to know how add pressure, tension and how they would work in teams rather than alone or in some cases, more as like competition with each other. It's less secret and more test when Mutta and cia. were going to be preselected. Three tests were administered to access the capabilities of the candidates, the last one one focused on the candidates' characters and ways of handling situations. All of this to determine how they would work in team. In the case of pulling everyone into competition, around chapter 150 (episode 81 of the anime), it's more applied to the teams of astronauts that would be training and performing tasks in a simulator underwater for going to the moon... but with the defining situation that only one of each one of those groups being selected to go to the Moon... and it would affect Mutta and Kenji's friendship in the process... since they are in the same team. | |

Mysterious Waif/Oracular Urchin: Amanti. Up until what has been shown in the anime, we know she is a Hindi woman who is training to be an astronaut, but she also knows vague personal info about the present or future of her partners. When Mutta asks her about his future, she does see something unfortunate that will happen to him. For starters, later, he thought it was the fever he got in the middle of the first phase of the survival training, but it wasn't. Amanti then, tells him that he will become so sad and lonely because of something that is going to happen to a close and dear person for him. It is Sharon, who is diagnosed by a degenerative disease. Serika reveals that it's ALS, the same disease that claimed her father's life. | |

The name of the series in fact has a lot of meaning besides mainly focusing on Mutta and Hibito. It's not only the Nanba brothers, but the Jay siblings also made a promise for going to space although Brian didn't survive and it could also apply to Reiji Nitta and his hikikomori brother, Kazuya; and as well of Pico, Vincent and Rick (despite not being blood related, but shared the same space passion). | |

Late-Arrival Spoiler | |
| Space Brothers (Manga) / int_5f3bb274 | comment |
Late-Arrival Spoiler: Unless you have read the manga by the time the anime was released... you sure wouldn't guess that the alternative cover of the 3rd ending single is in reality this to the arc where Hibito and Damian got stuck in the Moon crater after looking for the 'flash' this object reflected. And, though Mutta doesn't appear in this scene in the series... Hibito is suffering making it a straight example of this... by many couple of months before this arc happened in the anime series. Averted with Unicorn's "Feel so Moon" PV, since it manages to be mostly spoiler free (the viewer sees lots of Mutta's training panels) although it was being recorded around the time volume 18 was released. If you've seen any promotional material after Hibito's trip to the moon then you know that Hibito didn't suffocate after his crash in a crater. | |

Blunder-Correcting Impulse | |
| Space Brothers (Manga) / int_5f92254 | comment |
Blunder-Correcting Impulse: Double subverted. Nanba's team is assigned an engineer for a rover design competition that has to do with their astronaut training. The engineer, Pico Norton, thinks they don't have a chance to win and doesn't want to help. You expect he'll help after being impressed by Nanba's ideas for the rover, but then it turns out he helps because they were going to screw up setting up the parachute that delivers the rover. | |

Meaningful Name | |
| Space Brothers (Manga) / int_6bda9a30 | comment |
Meaningful Name: Apo is named as that because of the Apollo missions. The name of the series in fact has a lot of meaning besides mainly focusing on Mutta and Hibito. It's not only the Nanba brothers, but the Jay siblings also made a promise for going to space although Brian didn't survive and it could also apply to Reiji Nitta and his hikikomori brother, Kazuya; and as well of Pico, Vincent and Rick (despite not being blood related, but shared the same space passion). Director Nasuda's last name is this, 'Nasuda' is the proper Japanese pronunciation of NASDA (National Space Development Agency, one of JAXA's predecessors). | |

Punny Name: Ozzy, the old neighbor of Hibito in Houston, is pronounced 'ojii' in Japanese, which means "old man". Freddie Saturn, one of Hibito's comrades is probably called like that thanks to Freddie Mercury. His brother, Johnny, is a reference to John Lydon, known in the punk world as Johnny Rotten. Even his kids look like punks! | |

Rick counts as well, being the main influence for Vince and Pico to keep following their dreams.

Show Within a Show: There is an anime (yes, an anime) focusing in the adventures of Hibbit as an astronaut. Of course, it's based on Hibito being mostly the new 'hero' of Japan's media and his arrival to the moon... much to his concern (Hibito was made into a rabbit because he jumped a lot in his first steps). It's also animated as shorts in the anime adaptation of the series. In-universe, it's explained that the anime series surpassed in ratings at first against Sazae-san... the most long-running anime series in Japan and the entire world. | |

Shout-Out | |
| Space Brothers (Manga) / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: Numerous references to space movies, especially those based on real life. In particular, the lung capacity test scene is a shot-for-shot recreation of a scene from The Right Stuff, even down to the nurse administering the test. The clock used to time them even says "Right Stuff" on it, just to hammer it in. Another shout-out to the film comes in a later episode when Mutta holds an imaginary dialogue between himself and Mission Control while lying back in the Orion capsule he and Vincent will be training in, which ends with the words "...Light this candle!" Apollo 13 is referenced heavily too. Particularly the scene when Jim Lovell, laying in the backyard with his wife, uses his thumb to cover the moon. Both Mutta, and much later Hibito do this as they wonder about their prospects of getting to the moon. Even Hibito's backyard is basically a copy of the Lovell's! Episode 18 has Mutta receiving a green card with instructions to scream twice every day until the test ends. The first time he screams like Michael Jackson, the next like Bruce Lee. Michael Jackson is referenced again when Mutta has an Imagine Spot of what Makabe might receive as a green card. Mutta was born in the day that happened the Agony of Doha, in 1993. When Hibito was born, the first single of Puffy was already released, in 1996. In episode 23's preview, the final line of Mutta, 'I will become Santa Claus!' sounds in a pretty... pretty familiar tone of excitement. The fourth opening of the series is a huge homage to Le Voyans dans la Lune by George Méliès, the first known science fiction film, and based in that idea of 'how it would be when the man reach the moon'. The melody from that opening's song, meanwhile, takes a number of cues from "Telstar", which was composed to commemorate the launch of the world's first telecommunications satellite. A more particular example of space movies' and actual life reference is how much influenced is the past of Pico and Vincent (and more importantly, Rick) on October Sky and Homer Hickam Jr.'s autobiography, Rocket Boys. Heck, the boys make a shout out to him directly since he also was 'born on a little (and miner) town' too. Deneil Young appearance is referenced and lampshaded as a certain pig pilot of Porco Rosso. One of the astronauts in the ocean-moon simulator is named George Love... with rather feminine eyes, he maybe a shout out to both musicians and singers George Michael and Courtney Love. The engineering team that are developing a new rover are direct, DIRECT physical dopplegangers of the Ghostbusters cast. Hell, pretty much all the very minor characters introduced in America seem to be dopplegangers. The radio messages during Mutta's launch are pretty much a word for word repeat of the messages spoken during Alan Shepard's Freedom 7 launch. | |

The Fool | |
| Space Brothers (Manga) / int_e3d2f2 | comment |
The Fool: Mutta is a mild case; he's certainly not dumb, but by all objective measures he's a weak candidate for astronaut status. Nevertheless, his passion and optimistic determination in the face of adversity, as well as his uncanny knack for acting on gut feelings in ways that turn out to be exactly the right thing to do at the right moment, eventually win over even the most demanding and skeptical of his critics. | |

Artistic License – Music | |
| Space Brothers (Manga) / int_e603890a | comment |
Artistic License – Music: In the anime during a barbecue cook-out, Hibito is playing his guitar... but it sounds like a banjo. In every other scene with his guitar, however, it sounds perfectly fine. | |

Almost Out of Oxygen | |
| Space Brothers (Manga) / int_e80cdd72 | comment |
Almost Out of Oxygen: While on the surface of the Moon, Hibito actually does run out of oxygen during a mission. He's only saved by the timely arrival of the BRIAN oxygenating rover, which allows him to refill his tanks before he passes out and suffocates. | |

Trying Not to Cry | |
| Space Brothers (Manga) / int_f174d8e8 | comment |
Trying Not to Cry: Happens to many characters over the course of the series. Mutta when he finds out that Hibito is OK, as well as the conversation he had with him afterwards. Hibito when he thanks Mutta for helping save his life on the moon. Serika when she finds out Mutta is holding a signature drive to save the ISS rather than demolish it. Chief Butler in chapter 363 whenHibito goes back to visit NASA and calls him chief even if he is no longer his boss, specially as he feels that not being able to give Hibito another mission was his greatest failure. | |

Drives Like Crazy | |
| Space Brothers (Manga) / int_f96f188c | comment |
Drives Like Crazy: Deneil Young , and also happens to be a pilot instructor who flies like crazy. Most ASCAN candidates try to avoid Deneil Young because nobody can stomach his flying, and everybody hurls on their first flight with him. Oh, and he also practices using a wheel chair (even though he can walk just fine), and he drives like crazy with that too. There is Vincent Bold, who always drives extremely quickly because he has an obsession with avoiding wasted time. He also takes pleasure in intimidating ASCAN candidates with his driving (and gauging their reaction). Mutta earns his grudging respect by remaining unfazed, probably because he trained under Deneil Young. | |

Running Gag | |
| Space Brothers (Manga) / int_f9f2c33 | comment |
Running Gag: The recurring theme of luck (bad or good) in Mutta's thoughts about his own doing in his way to become an astronaut. Nanba-papa and his awesome shirts reflecting in words not only some obvious stuff (as Pop or Pajama) but some of his own thoughts. Morning Radio Q&A time!YEAH! and the questions from Carl, age 6 to 9, in Los Angeles. | |

Brick Joke | |
| Space Brothers (Manga) / int_fe0330fb | comment |
Brick Joke: Deneil Young refers Mutta sometimes as Alexander. Mutta thinks it's because he is being senile or something. Come a lot of chapters later, when he is already in Houston training to be an astronaut, and a man with an afro, almost same height as him appears, that is Alexander. | |

Shown Their Work | |
| Space Brothers (Manga) / int_ffad4e9f | comment |
Shown Their Work: Besides the obvious influences of other space-related media shown in movies, Chuuya Koyama DID actually go to Houston to do research for his work. The locations in the series are portrayed accurately, and the astronaut testing and training presented in the show is actually what current astronauts go through. The 2020s Moon missions that NASA undertakes are based on the cancelled Constellation program. Case in point: NASA Desert RATS and NEEMO are real training programs note although they've stopped due to lack of funding . Mission control scenes are replicated as closely to the real life as possible, even including all the mission logos and the NASA flag * It is a federal felony without the permission of associate administrator, meaning the production team received permission from the third/second highest NASA leader. | |
