Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })TerraforMARS (alternatively Terra ForMars or Terra Formars) is an action/sci-fi manga written by Yu Sasuga and illustrated by Kenichi Tachibana.The year is 2599. Humanity has reached an unsustainable level of overpopulation on Earth, and is beginning what would be the final stages of terraforming and colonizing Mars. The plan by late 21st century scientists was to release a form of moss on the planet along with cockroaches, who in turn would grow and eat, and their corpses would contribute to the moss growth, eventually leading to enough of a greenhouse effect for a breathable atmosphere to take hold. Recently a team named Bugs #1 went to Mars to exterminate the roaches, since the atmosphere had developed enough that the moss alone could finish the job. However, contact was lost with them almost immediately after arrival.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Now it is the time of the second expedition, Bugs #2. Upon arriving, the team found out what caused Bugs #1 to lose contact: the roaches. Having hyper-evolved in the last 500 years (hinted due to alien influence), they are now 7 ft tall cavemen-like humanoid creatures who posses their original proportional strength as bugs (50 times their body mass), and the seeming ability to keep evolving against anything that can kill them. However, the company that sent out Bugs #2 knew this was going to happen, and had prepared for it. The team members are all able to take on aspects of other creatures in the animal kingdom, and use these proportional abilities and unique insect powers to fight back against the nearly endless hordes of roaches.Very explicit and bloody, and in many ways is a Spiritual Successor to Gantz. In 2014, the series gained an OVA covering the BUGS 2 arc and a 13 episode TV anime adaptation covering the Annex I arc. A live action film adaptation directed by Takashi Miike was released April 29, 2016.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); })Now has a Character Sheet in the works.

Starfish Language: The roaches clearly have some form of language, but to us it just sounds like "Juh" over and over with different inflections.

comment
Anyone Can Die: For instance Bugs #1 is annihilated by the first prequel chapter and there are only two survivors from Bugs 2 by the end of the first volume. Before the end of the second chapter, the main male character's girlfriend is given a One-Hit Kill in the first encounter with the bugs. In the film, only two of the people sent to Mars return to Earth.

comment
Instant Expert: The bugs somehow manage to learn how to use human equipment despite the fact that the most advanced weapon they had previously was a club. A large part of this is hinted to be the result of the fact that the bug's brains have evolved as much as their bodies (and have some sort of extraterrestrial tech available to help educate them). They have, by Bugs #3, become as smart as humans, if not more so, and simply lacked the necessary infrastructure needed to be able to build an industrial base like the humans have. Given that each Bugs missions has several years between them, this has given the roaches plenty of time to learn the basics of whatever tech they capture from previous missions, and from what they learn from that, allows them to quickly master any new tech they receive. Later is it shown that the Chinese sent simple pictures as instructions in a probe to educate the roaches so they could attack the Annex I and they could initiate their coup during Plan Delta. This included plans of the Annex I, how the M.O Operation and the drug granted humans powers, the location of the drug on the ship, the evacuation plans and how to drive human vehicles. Turns out it was the Roma Federation that sent the pictures.

Heroic RRoD: The transformation drug regenerates damaged organs by forcing cell division and the production of new cells, cutting the user's lifespan. Overdosing on the drug confers massive increases in strength and powers, at the cost of turning more into the base organism, and carries a risk of the changes becoming irreversible.

comment
Artistic License – Biology: This almost doesn't need to be said. While the actual attributes and abilities of the insects they are based on are true, you can't just turn humans into human-bug hybrids outside of the X-Men. Not to say anything about the roaches' hyper-evolution, which is less like evolution and closer to the adaptation ability of the Borg. To further complicate matters the moths that were left on Mars seem to be evolving even faster than the cockroaches. Showing fingers on their bodies. Despite basically being a foodsource for the cockroaches that strengthens them. Then there's the fact that all this takes place in an atmosphere related to be the equivalent of 7000 meters above sea level. Evolution Power-Up Goal-Oriented Evolution Genetic Engineering Is the New Nuke: All of this stems from the enigmatic A.E. Virus, which Earth's governments want to use to increase the success rate of the M.O. Operation. It's also a somewhat infamous fact that in real life, cockroaches can survive being decapitated. Not so here, where beheaded roaches die just as quickly as humans.

Sand In My Eyes: A funny and heartwarming example in chapter nine of the manga. Alex and Marcos are in tears after learning of Akari's past. Akari, moved to tears himself, comments that they are good guys for crying so much. Both Alex and Marcos insist they aren't crying and that it's only the spices from the hotpot they are eating.

Death by Origin Story: Akari's childhood friend and love interest Yuriko is killed shortly after episode 1 starts. He is later informed she contracted a virus from Mars that has a 100% mortality rate, and is asked to join in a mission to get samples of lifeforms on Mars to develop a vaccine for it so that no one else has to die from it. Keiji's mother was likewise sickly, and passed away sometime between when he retired from boxing due to a retinal detachment, and before joining U-NASA on their Annex I mission to Mars.

Poor Communication Kills: This appears to be at first the reason behind why the roaches wanted to kill us as soon as we first saw them, but later it turns out that they just have an instinctual need to "squish" us much like how we do towards regular roaches.

Creepy Cockroach: The manga can't exist without this trope. It's stated fairly early on in the manga that this trope is actually also inverted and that the newly evolved humanoid cockroaches actually find humans just as creepy as humans tend to find regular cockroaches and act almost reflexively to exterminate them.

For Science!: Used by both sides: The humans experimented with gene-splicing in order to enhance a person's powers. Unfortunately it has a low success rate, so they have to go through quite a few volunteers. The Terraformars seem to be capable of this as well, though on a much more primitive level than the humans. Nevertheless, they manage to acquire some of the abilities from previous human expeditions to their planet.

Averted in episode 7, when Sylvester is telling the terraformars about some theories he had. One of them smashes its club at him, which only seems to piss him off as he wasn't done talking.

This doesn't even include the enigmatic "We are the Cosmos" organization.

Conservation of Ninjutsu: Zigzagged. There are instances where it's horribly averted, such as in episode 2 when the Terraformars first show up on the ship. But then there's other instances where they go down left and right, such as when Marcos was going through an Unstoppable Rage moment shortly after Sheila's death in episode 4. And usually when it's one character facing off against one specialized Terraformars, they often give the heroes a little trouble before ultimately getting defeated.

Wham Episode: Chapter 171 - Rome was responsible for placing the roaches on Annex 1, and were the ones who gave information about Annex 1 and the M.O. Operation to the roaches, making them the true Big Bad of the series. The name of the Russian President is Vladmir A. Smiles, the same last name as George Smiles from Bugs 1. The Chinese President is Liu Zhou, half-brother of Liu Yiwu. Rome wants the roaches to come to earth, and is happy that a colony of them managed to get Bugs I operational and set up shop. What's worse is that the colony in Japan is not the first one that was detected, but is the only one that earth is taking any action against. Chapter 198. Expecting to see negotiations between China, Japan, and the United states due to the highly illegal and unethical actions of "We Are The Cosmos" on contested artificial islands, even the press is shocked to see a Terraformar on the podium, an armed invasion fleet of terraformars into Japanese waters, using Blue Whales as ships, and both the "tin plated soldier" and the infant taken in chapter 197 are half-human hybrids between the terraformars and ordinary humans.

comment
Rule of Symbolism: The Bible (specifically, passages depicting plagues and afflictions) is quoted and referenced down to the chapter and verse every time someone intentionally overdoses on the transformation drug, metaphorically turning into a plague upon the roaches. The first time is when Thien, a Desert Locust hybrid, rips apart a room full of roaches. Cue quote from the Plague of Locusts.Then Adolf (who has an electric eel base) performs a Last Stand in an attempt to save the German team; cue a quote from the Plague of Hail and Lightning. Later Shoukichi overdoses performing a You Shall Not Pass! to allow his team and Sylvester's to escape a horde of roaches; cue Deuteronomy 7:20.

Better to Die than Be Killed: Adolf's squad is mostly still alive when they're being taken away in the same nets they were supposed to use on the Terraformars. After he dies however, they all flee the crater, leaving his squad to perish in the explosion. They all have a smile on their face as they await the inevitable, though this end was arguably better than being dissected alive by the Terraformars.

Fate Worse than Death: Some of Adolf's squadmates are still alive while being taken away by the Terraformars. It's ultimately averted when they realize he has a bomb that's about to go off in his body. His squad all have a smile on their face right before it goes off, giving them a merciful death compared to whatever the Terraformars was going to do to them.

Hope Spot
 TerraforMARS (Manga) / int_c3c18143
comment
Hope Spot: One occurs in episode 9, when Adolf manages to cause a bolt of lightning to come down by the Terraformars leader. Unfortunately it survived as it wasn't directly struck by the lightning. Another occurs in episode 12, when Squad 1 seems to have mostly dealt with the bugs around them. Then some rockets fall out of the sky, which ends up disabling their powers, and turning them back to normal, squishy humans. To make things worse, a lot of Terraformars that were hiding in the ground suddenly appear. After surviving the first day on Mars, the Annex I squads 1 and 2 are surprised to not see the roaches for a whole day and feel a bit hopeful that they'll get to home base without trouble... not knowing that they'll instead have to deal with the Chinese squad sabotaging their mission.

It Can Think: Some of the Annex crew wonder if the Terraformars can do this, such as when they deliberately seek out the drugs that enables their powers, then promptly smash as much as they can. One in episode 7 also seems to know how to fly the escape pod, and takes off with it.

comment
We ARE Struggling Together: Though it's nominally a worldwide effort from many nations to retrieve virus samples, there seems to be some friction between some of the nations, and they work together because the Terraformars are a much bigger and more imminent threat. And since What Measure Is A Nonhuman is at play, it makes it much easier for the humans to destroy them. Then Squad 3 discovers shocking details inside a Martian pyramid that shows the Terraformars have information regarding the Annex 1 mission, and details of human anatomy. They then start to wonder which country leaked the info to the bugs.

Big Damn Heroes: Zigzagged repeatedly throughout the show: Subverted at some points, where it seems a character is having, or going to have, a heroic moment, only for them to then get brutally killed by one of the Terraformars. In other instances it's played straight, and they do end up rescuing someone, like Alex hurling metallic balls from far away to save Marcos from imminent death, then giving him another dose of medicine to allow him to resume fighting. Or when the squad leaders all show up to deal with the bugs that got onto the Annex I ship somehow.

Talking Is a Free Action: Played straight for the most part. Any time there is an extended talking scene, the combat either dies down, or there's not much of it until the dialogue scene is finished. Averted in episode 7, when Sylvester is telling the terraformars about some theories he had. One of them smashes its club at him, which only seems to piss him off as he wasn't done talking. He then proceeds with a Curb-Stomp Battle on them, as well as having one of his squadmates release some mind altering chemicals to cause some hallucinations in several of the bugs. A Terraformars attempts to interrupt Marcos and Alex in episode 13, but is killed by the latter who's pissed at the bug trying to ruin their talk. The rest of the scene is played straight as the other Terraformars around them slowly encircle them.
