Senran Kaguranote "Senran" is a made-up word using the kanji for flash/brandish and war. "Kagura" comes from a theatrical Japanese dancing by the same name is a series of fanservice-filled Beat 'em Up games, produced by Marvelous Entertainment and developed by Tamsoft. The premise involves different schools of Ninja (commonly referred to as "shinobi" in this series), generally split into two factionsnote Depending on the translation, light/good ninja and dark/evil ninja, who primarily differ in their methods of teaching and executing their employers' orders., facing off against each other, as well as against entities called "Yoma", as they deal with the rigors of ninja training and their daily lives as a shinobi. The ultimate goal of most of these schools is to produce the best shinobi they can, as well as to eventually raise the ninja who will become a "kagura", a high-ranking shinobi who specializes in Demon Slaying.The focus, however, is on the large amounts of equally large breasts on the majority of the gals, so much so that the series prides itself on this facet, calling its genre "the Hyper-Battle of Bursting Breasts" (emphasis theirs). The games, of course, include copious amounts of Jiggle Physics bounciness, Clothing Damage, and Male Gaze, among other relevant fanservice tropes.Yet, despite of all the attention the series garners for its well-rounded, bouncy aspects, Senran Kagura also blends the elements of school life comedy, cute girls doing cute things, the drama of the harsh world of shinobi, and a lot of shōnen elements, sometimes to great effect. Of course, this leads to the series having somewhat of a schizophrenic presentation, as the director likes to flaunt the fanservice, while the writer is known for writing material darker than what one would expect from a series like this (see the Trivia tab for more information).note Eventually, the director's stance on which aspect of the series to focus on changed. He stated that the series has branched out since the first game's debut, and has been attempting to strike a balance with the fanservice and the more serious story elements. He also specifically mentioned that the 3DS titles will be more story-driven, with the fanservice elements taking a back seat, while the Vita games and other spin-offs will focus on being Lighter and Softer affairs with more of a focus on the fanservice.As for the gameplay, most games in the series have a focus on attaining high combos while mowing down groups of foes. Missions set up the stages, while the action is broken up by the occasional Visual Novel-styled cutscenes and narration, which provide more details on certain parts of the storyline. During battle, characters are able to perform a "shinobi transformation", changing them from their regular attire to their shinobi form, which gives them more varied combos and the ability to perform devastating special moves called "Secret Ninja Arts". Taking too many hits, however, induces Clothing Damage, causing costumes to lose their HP and defensive bonuses. Costumes can eventually be completely removed by taking too much damage, leaving a character in her swimsuit and with no defenses. However, players can choose to activate "Frantic" mode, which discards all clothing (except the swimsuit) and defenses in order to boost offense significantly. Be warned though, it's much easier to die while in Frantic mode.The early 3DS titles were side-scrollers, but the Vita game Shinovi Versus branched the gameplay out into a fully 3D battlefield, akin to games like Dynasty Warriors. The sequel to the 3DS games carries over some of this aspect from Shinovi Versus, while introducing new concepts such as tag teams. The sequel is also the first in the series to have playable male characters (earlier games had male characters as NPCs).When Marvelous later desired for the series to be brought to international markets, XSEED Games took up the call. Senran Kagura Burst was localized and sold in North America as an eShop download title in 2013. Burst had sold well enough that XSEED decided to continue localizing the series, with Senran Kagura: Shinovi Versus for the PlayStation Vita being their next title to work on, along with, interestingly, the Rhythm Game of the series, Senran Kagura: Bon Appetit. Thanks to XSEED, every game in the series was brought over internationally, except for the mobile game, Senran Kagura: New Wave.The official Japanese site can be visited here, but be wary of NSFW content, given the premise. The official site for the localized Senran Kagura Burst is here, while the site for Deep Crimson is here.Aside from the video games, the series had a few manga adaptations, as well as an anime that started in January 2013. The second season, based on New Link, titled Senran Kagura: Shinovi Master started in October 2018.Homura would later appear as a Guest Fighter in Nitroplus Blasterz Heroines Infinite Duel. Likewise, Yumi appears as a Guest Fighter in BlazBlue: Cross Tag Battle.The director of the series, Takaki, later produced a sort of Spiritual Successor to Senran Kagura, going by the name of Valkyrie Drive, which is essentially a sci-fi/fantasy Senran Kagura with even more explicit fanservice and yuri elements. Valkyrie Drive was conceptualized as a multimedia project, and includes an anime (which is primarily focused on), and two games, each taking place in the same world but within different settings to keep things fresh between them. See those pages for more information.Compare to Release the Spyce, another series about ninja girls going on secret operations, though with less focus on fanservice. Also compare to similar ecchi series like Ikki Tousen and Queen's Blade. Compare to I=MGCM for the Magical Girl Warrior equivalent. | |

| Senran Kagura (Video Game) / int_108c268e | comment |
Hotter and Sexier: The anime adaptation threw a lot of the original plot and the melodrama through the window and turned the fanservice up to eleven, with the second season doubling it, notably adding in uncensored nudity this time around. Purposely invoked with Shinovi Versus, Estival Versus and Bon Appetit, as the director stated that the Playstation games are purposely intended to have more fanservice than the 3DS titles. | |

Secret Identity | |
| Senran Kagura (Video Game) / int_112890b3 | comment |
Secret Identity: In Shinovi Versus, Hanzo must have been delighted to play the role of a teacher for the girls-only school of Gessen; he was asked to do it by his friend/rival Kurokage feeling remorseful to have forced his beliefs about a pure and good shinobi world where evil has been extinguished on Yumi's group and want them to find their own way. | |

Bloodless Carnage | |
| Senran Kagura (Video Game) / int_135b9977 | comment |
Bloodless Carnage: Despite the majority of the cast fighting with blades, hammers, kunai, etc, the main tell that they're doing any damage comes in the form of Clothing Damage. Outside of the third manga, blood is rarely shown. Subverted, however, in that the in-game "novels" frequently describe characters bleeding (most notably when Yagyu attempts to find the Hebijo school), and the insides of Orochi heavily showcase blood dripping everywhere. | |

Fake Longevity | |
| Senran Kagura (Video Game) / int_14184bc7 | comment |
Fake Longevity: 100% Completion in Burst requires clearing every mission on each story with the initial 5 characters, getting every character (including the secret ones) to level 50, clearing every mission at least once with an A Rank and once in Frantic Mode (thankfully not with every character) and will take upwards of 70 hours. Beating the main story for both sides combined only takes around 10. Bon Appetit has this for its Platinum trophy. The most gratuitous being clearing 200 songs when most of the others require a minimum of 100 if aiming for them and playing optimaly. | |

Darker and Edgier | |
| Senran Kagura (Video Game) / int_14beeefd | comment |
Darker and Edgier: Induced in the third manga series Guren no Hebi. Despite having some of the lighter moments present in other adaptations of the series, the tone of Guren no Hebi is very bleak and grim and it adverts the Bloodless Carnage the rest of the series utilizes, making all the fights somewhat disturbing to read. Additionally, the storylines of the 3DS games are much more serious (usually with more at stake) compared the ones present in the Vita titles. Hebijo's story in Shinovi Versus is by far the darkest plot in the game, if not the entire series. There are little to no jokes or lighthearted banter, and none of the team's "quirks" are played for laughs compared to the other teams. Miyabi's ruthless, single-minded obsession with restoring Hebijo's honor and taking vengeance on its enemies is played dead seriously. Imu blindly and unquestionably follows Miyabi's vengeful agenda out of lustful obsession. Murasaki possesses a nigh-uncontrollable berserker rage capable of ripping even the strongest Shinobi apart limb from limb. Ryōna is a psychotic masochist who takes a euphoric delight in being punished. Ryōbi, while not quite as insane as her sister, is still clearly unhinged and is secretly a traitor plotting to murder the rest of the team for their roles in the death of her and Ryōna's sister. | |

Crate Expectations | |
| Senran Kagura (Video Game) / int_14e569d5 | comment |
Crate Expectations: Each game has crates lying around that can be broken to gain useful items and power-ups. These items include healing onigiri, ninja scrolls, futomaki rolls, power-ups that boost your attack and defense and make you temporarily invincible, and in the case of Estival Verus, bombshells. | |

Does This Remind You of Anything? | |
| Senran Kagura (Video Game) / int_14ed6ab7 | comment |
Does This Remind You of Anything?: Several examples throughout the franchise. The most obvious is the constant image of a girl with something inserted between her breasts, be it scrolls, sushi rolls, or whatever. To say nothing of the random positions some characters take in the anime and the manga, as well as when Clothing Damage occurs in the games. Bon Appetit, being a non-serious Rhythm Game, takes it up to eleven due to it being a cooking game as well. | |

Evil Versus Evil: In Shinovi Versus the former elites of Hebijo Academy (now dubbed the Homura Crimson Squad) are being hunted down by the new Team Hebijo elites because they are renegades, inevitably causing them to clash. Downplayed because the Crimson Squad are essentially an Anti-Hero Team. | |

All There in the Manual: Takaki has a tendency of elaborating about the setting and the characters' background on random tweets, interviews or in the Artbooks (known as Perfect Bibles) released for each game.

Despite how the entire cast is made up of shinobi, there isn't a lot of emphasis on stealth. The characters' outfits are often rather flashy and can sometimes be revealing. That said, there's usually emphasis put on how the theatrics only start within a Camouflage Barrier. | |

Good Is Not Soft | |
| Senran Kagura (Video Game) / int_21f60711 | comment |
Good Is Not Soft: A ninja has to be ready to do anything it takes to defeat an enemy, and could expect nothing else in return from an enemy. It's a form of courtesy toward an enemy to give everything you have to bring him down. | |

Ultimate Final Exam | |
| Senran Kagura (Video Game) / int_240fee1f | comment |
Ultimate Final Exam: The final exam at Hanzo National Academy involves defeating a hundred wooden puppets equipped with real weapons, all within a time limit and without sustaining injury of any kind. Failing the exam would close off the Path of the Shinobi for the student forever. This is only shown in Kiriya's flashback regarding his past student Rin, in which she would have failed the exam against one last sniper had Kiriya not stepped in to destroy the puppet so that she could pass. | |

Pastiche | |
| Senran Kagura (Video Game) / int_242f638e | comment |
Pastiche: Of serious ninja flicks; the melodramatic mannerisms of the series are fair and good, but when all is said and done, it's still a franchise about boobs, cute girls, strong yuri overtones (see YMMV) and the Power of Friendship never failing to save the say. It varies from faction to faction, though. While Hanzo ninja are reluctant to kill unless absolutely necessary and rely heavily on the Power of Friendship trope, Hebijo ninja are much more faithful to the traditional depiction of the pitiless shinobi and are shown to be willing to kill to accomplish their mission. During Haruka's mission to infiltrate Hanzo school in 'Burst', most of her reconnaissance squad ends up being possessed by the power of the ninja scroll and Haruka has to order Mirai to be ready to kill any of their former allies who would pose an obstacle to the success of the mission; Mirai is distressed by having to kill her comrades, and even Haruka is far from being comfortable with the situation, but they end up doing it anyway. On Shin Hebijo route in Shinovi Versus, Miyabi's group killing most of the others schools' characters is heavily implied. Yet as Ikaruga at least is shown to having survived her fight with Murasaki and has the opportunity to warn Yomi, their fate is ultimately anyone's guess. | |

Dirty Old Man | |
| Senran Kagura (Video Game) / int_267ce120 | comment |
Dirty Old Man: Averted with Kiriya-sensei, who does his job professionally and doesn't blink when the fanservice presents itself. While Hanzo usually acts like a doting grandpa toward Asuka despite her many shortcomings, he still has shades of this, especially in the anime. However, he's very low-key about it and is never shown to be completely depraved about it either, especially when compared to how Dirty Old Men are usually depicted in Japanese works. Played completely straight in the anime however. While the games have him strong and professional enough to easily thwart his girls' attempts at taking revenge on him, the anime special has him go out of the way to humiliate Asuka and Homura to the point that he can't save himself. | |

| Senran Kagura (Video Game) / int_2764d432 | comment |
Komichi was Homura's seemingly kind mentor and crush who is responsible for her turn to evil. After gaining Homura's trust over a long period of time, he got her to confess to being a good shinobi heir, then reveals that he was an evil shinobi sent to kill her family. When Homura asks him why he befriended her instead of simply torturing her for the information, he explained that he loved to see the looks on people's faces after being betrayed, before trying to kill Homura herself and ultimately getting her rejected by the good shinobi after she fought back, driving her directly into the arms of the aforementioned Dōgen. | |

Bit Part Bad Guys: The delinquents from early in the original game and the Hanzo story of Burst. Not remotely dangerous, and more or less disappear entirely once Hebijo becomes an issue in the plot — they're there both to ease you into the game with enemies less threatening than even the Mook Hebijo students, and plot-wise as an example of what the Hanzo students had actually been facing prior to their clash with Hebijo. | |

Limit Break | |
| Senran Kagura (Video Game) / int_2afb1a9 | comment |
Limit Break: The Hidden Ninpos/Secret Ninja Arts. They're special attacks that consume your Ninja Scrolls but can clear out multiple enemies at once and deal massive damage to bosses (with the added bonus of instantly stripping the bosses of their clothing). Each girl has three different Ninpos: a Level 1 Ninpo (1 scroll, strips leg clothing), a Level 2 Ninpo (2 scrolls, strips upper clothes), and a Level 3/Ultimate Ninpo (3 or more scrolls with a special condition, depending on the game, strips both top and bottom). In Burst and Deep Crimson, there's even an additional aerial Ninpo that can be performed in mid-air. Also in Deep Crimson, there are the special Secret Fusion Ninja Arts for characters who fight in pairs. Unlike the other Ninpos, these are stage-wide and can target all enemies on the stage at once, but require both characters to have three Ninja Scrolls at the same time. Only certain pairs will have specific fusion Ninpos (like Asuka's and Homura's Flying Wild Dance) while the rest have generic ones regardless of the pair-up. In Burst and the Versus games, there's even a technique aptly named "Limit Break". But it isn't so much a special attack as it is just a burst of energy that can knock enemies away at the expense of a bit of your health, regardless if you're already trapped in an enemy combo or not. Deep Crimson removes this feature entirely. | |

Bust-Contrast Duo: The twins Ryoubi and Ryouna have this dynamic. The former is one of the few small-chested girls in the cast (who can nonetheless expand its size for her ninja transformation) and has a complex regarding her figure, as well as being a Sadist. The latter is one of the contenders of the girl with the largest bust among the cast, and is flightier and more cheerful, as well as being Too Kinky to Torture. | |

Game-Breaking Bug: Estival has a few: The turtle mooks can get stuck in a loop where they will never stop spinning, making impossible to the player to defeat them and progress the mission, forcing the player to repeat the stage. Sometimes the game will spawn mooks outside the reach of the player and while some characters will be able to take them downusing long range attacks, most of the time is necessary to retry the stage. | |

I Let You Win | |
| Senran Kagura (Video Game) / int_35566274 | comment |
I Let You Win: If you're fighting the Hanzo team, your wins always count for real. If you're playing as the Hanzo team, well, tough cookies. In the Hanzo story, every defeat of the Hebijou girls until the final confrontation ends with a cutscene revealing the other girl was holding back in some way. Haruka is the most blatant about this, with every fight against her revealing that she was either using a puppet in her stead, or that she deliberately threw the fight to acquire a second, less-obvious goal. This continues into Shinovi Versus. Where TWO new schools attack Hanzo, and when playing through the Hanzou storyline, they never truly win the first round against either team. Also in Shinovi Versus, you can finally be on the giving end, even though you won anyway. After Hikage's fight with Imu, Imu is doubled over, questioning why Hikage never agreed to her challenges if she was able to take her down, while Hikage says nothing... | |

Sliding Scale of Idealism Versus Cynicism | |
| Senran Kagura (Video Game) / int_372bc105 | comment |
Sliding Scale of Idealism Versus Cynicism: Despite the dark worldview, Senran Kagura tends to fall toward the idealist side, with The Power of Friendship and all the characters being badass having prevented any major death so far. Initially Asuka is The Idealist, Homura The Cynic. One of the the points of the first two games is to see their beliefs (and the two characters) drawing closer. | |

| Senran Kagura (Video Game) / int_3b79029a | comment |
Crapsaccharine World: On one hand, death walks with the shinobi. Most of the characters have lost at least one loved one. Training can be deadly. The girls perfectly accept that the fights are No-Holds-Barred Contest which can leave them dead and try in all earnestness to kill each other. They know they can be finished by the winner. Failure during a mission can mean death. And then, on the other hand, not only are the generally cheerful girls capable of simply acting like normal teenagers most of the time, but when all is said and done, the level of violence on-screen is equivalent to say, One Piece and nobody ever dies outside of backstories or otherwise off-screen deaths (which can sometimes cause ambiguity as to who's actually dead). Overall, it's the seriousness with which the girls take their duty as shinobi and the grim backstories that most of them have which paints a really dark outlook on the franchise. | |

| Senran Kagura (Video Game) / int_3d2c6d30 | comment |
Skewed Priorities: Inverted. In the Versus games, the Crimson Squad is repeatedly mocked for worrying about keeping their mundane jobs ahead of their Shinobi duties. Except it's repeatedly shown they're barely making rent and often don't have enough to eat, and it's not like they have families or a school to back them up, making their concerns completely valid to the audience. This is already a delicate matter for Yomi, and this attitude makes her lose her shit at least once. | |

Curb-Stomp Battle: In a story sequence, Ikaruga ends up having to fight her resentful brother and never lays a finger on him. ... Because she doesn't have to. He's so hopeless at ninjutsu, and her so comparatively skilled that she defeats him easily without ever having to attack him directly. Which is the reason she was adopted and made a shinobi in his place in the first place, and the reason for his resentment of her. | |

Men Use Violence, Women Use Communication: Played With. As shinobi, the girls use violence as a mean of communication with an energy one would expect from a Shōnen manga. On the other hand, communication is pivotal in the anime adaptation finale in order to avoid Total Party Kill of both sides. Hibari's true power is explicitly a form of communication. | |

Desperation Attack | |
| Senran Kagura (Video Game) / int_419545ad | comment |
Desperation Attack: Ultimate Secret Ninja Arts in Shinovi Versus. Unlike the previous ninja arts that require one or two ninja art scrolls, the Ultimate art can only be performed if the player has five ninja art scrolls. The catch? The player's health must be at a dangerous low. Most of the time you'll only have one or two shots to pull this off because you can only hold ten ninja art scrolls. On the plus side, they do look pretty kick ass and your opponent gets completely stripped if they're KO'd by it. However, it's better off being used as a last resort. The health limit is removed in Estival Versus. | |

Defeating them however causes them to enter a self-destruct sequence so you better run away when that happens.

A Twinkle in the Sky | |
| Senran Kagura (Video Game) / int_485e1515 | comment |
In Peach Beach Splash, a boss fight pits you Mr. K and Ms. R who are fighting on mechs. As they are defeated, the mechs will explode, turn them into A Twinkle in the Sky and they shout lines such as "See you next week!" and "I'm blasting off again!" | |

Combat Pragmatist | |
| Senran Kagura (Video Game) / int_49fb5ccb | comment |
Combat Pragmatist: Shinobi tend to be. As Yumi puts it in SV, their combat is not for sport. Shinobi fight to kill. Same can be said when Miyabi scoffs at Asuka for complaining about Ryōbi and Ryōna assisting her. | |

Former Bigot | |
| Senran Kagura (Video Game) / int_4a467def | comment |
Former Bigot: Kurokage spent most of his life killing all "evil" (read: mercenary) shinobi in the name of justice, before realizing that most of them were only working for the money they needed to get by (and since shinobi code dictates that all shinobi battles must be to the death, well...). After that, he tried to keep his students/adopted daughters from making the same mistakes he had and eventually succeeded. | |

Downer Ending: The ending to Hebijo's story in Shinovi Versus has Hanzo, the Crimson Squad and Gessen completely destroyed and their Elite Shinobi all vanquished, leaving none left to oppose Rin and Dogen's plans. Subverted in the same game by the ending to the Crimson Squad's story has the Crimson Squad surrounded by a seemingly infinite horde of Youma. They gear up for a fight, but its clear that they have little to no hope of surviving...until the rest of teams suddenly show up to lend them a hand. | |

Early-Installment Weirdness | |
| Senran Kagura (Video Game) / int_4f4372e9 | comment |
Early-Installment Weirdness: With the series drifting more towards fluent Hack and Slash gameplay and making it the norm, going back to the original Senran Kagura Burst can come off as a bit jarring by comparison since the first game plays like an old-school Beat 'em Up game. This was the original direction the series started off as before the success of Shinovi Versus proved Hack and Slash gameplay to be more popular, to the point that when Burst itself got an Updated Re-release in the form of Burst Re:Newal, the entire gameplay had to be changed and updated to match previous games before it. | |

Dual Wielding: Used by several characters. Asuka uses two Wakizashi. Homura hexuple wields Katana! Like Wolverine Claws, no less!! Suzune/Rin wields two Fuuma Shuriken. Murakumo wields a spear in one hand and a bloody cleaver in the other. Then we have Ryōna, who uses two unusual pistols with the butts of the guns bolted on both ends. Ashiya mostly uses two chakrams. Kagari wields two tambourine shaped knives. Aria wields a pair of cymbals. Tsubame uses two sabers. Kisaragi uses two hachiwara. Yūyaki dual-wields two Nōdachi. Renka uses bachi. Kafuru uses two water guns. Ryōki wields a shotgun in one hand and a shield in the other. | |

The Heartless | |
| Senran Kagura (Video Game) / int_519c6fd3 | comment |
The Heartless: Orochi in the first game and Burst, the final boss born from the pain and suffering of the dead snake girls. Has become a major plot point in Shinovi Versus: such monsters are knowns as youma and only shinobi can fight against them. The catch being conflict between shinobi and blood spilled in shinobi kekkais are precisely what such entities feed on. Hence the need for the 'kagura', aka the highest rank a shinobi can hope to attain, a warrior specialized in hunting youma. Miyabi, and later Homura and Asuka aim to reach this rank. | |

Boobs of Steel | |
| Senran Kagura (Video Game) / int_530a1f86 | comment |
Boobs of Steel: Although many of the characters have large breasts, the best example of this trope is Daidouji, being significantly more muscular, older, and more physical, than other characters. This is actually a fairly accurate measurement of a character's physical strength... the larger a character's bust is, the more likely they'll fight with slower, but harder-hitting strikes. This extends in the other direction, where the girl with the smallest bust fights almost entirely with ranged weapons with few actual physical attacks. | |

Bodyguard Legacy: The Goshin Clan mainly exists to look over the Reincarnation Orb, which is the "sealed" form of Kagura. "Naraku" is the name given to the person who is tasked to look over the Reincarnation Orb once Kagura reawakens and recovers the Orb once Kagura inevitably exhausts her body to the point of self-destruction. | |

Public Domain Soundtrack: In Shinovi Versus, The Gessen girls' themes are all arrangements of classical music. The themes are references to their name, design or character (for example, 'Shiki' translates as 'Four seasons'). Yumi: Requiem Mass in D minor, by Mozart, and Piano Sonata No. 8 (Sonata Pathétique), by Beethoven Murakumo: Scythian Suite Op. 20, by Sergei Prokofiev Yozakura: Piano Sonata No. 14 (Moonlight Sonata), by Beethoven Shiki: The Four Seasons, by Vivaldi Minori: The Nutcracker, by Tchaikovsky This trend continues in Estival Versus, with each girl getting a song that's "festival" themed. Yumi: Once again Mozart's Requiem Mass in D minor, though it is taken from Lacrimosa portion of the song. Minori: The Carnival of the Animals, by Camille Saint-Saëns. Specifically, from the "Finale." | |

It was due Mirai, who, after finding out the hard way that stealing and consuming one of Kagura's orbs didn't make her any bustier, laced her friends' food with the leftover orbs to avoid being made fun of. Completing said chapter unlocks the ability to play as the girls' chibi version. | |

Instrument of Murder: Every member of the A.R.C. Angels has a musical instrument fit for combat. The same goes for the Municipal Blossoming Arts shinobi as well. | |

In Estival Versus, there are these special finishers called Purupuru Finishes which are triggered if you defeat your opponent or vice versa near one of the "!" signs on the map, and they're critical to getting one of the trophies. However, this includes the destructible festival platforms as well, which are needed to be destroyed to unlock the Shinobi Girl's Heart stories. Luckily, if you happen to destroy all of the platforms, this specific Purupuru Finish will be unlocked in the shop anyway, saving the players a lot of trouble of having to worry about them being lost. | |

Only One Name: The entire cast, aside from Asuka's grandfather. Justified, since there are a lot of indications that these names are actually Code Names and not their real names. | |

Nipple and Dimed | |
| Senran Kagura (Video Game) / int_68069489 | comment |
Nipple and Dimed: Anytime the series gets close to fully exposing a character's chest, expect there to be a Scenery Censor of some sort to hide the nipples specifically. And sometimes, they don't even bother with that. Katsuragi is an egregious perpetrator of this, as her shinobi outfit makes her prone to getting exposed the most.note Not only does that never happen, but she happens to wear a strange bikini underneath her shinobi outfit that is apparently capable of remaining hidden until she takes enough Clothing Damage that the tatters of her outfit can't be used to hide anything anymore. Shinovi Versus, which allows the destruction of lingerie, plays this dead straight. If a girl's swimsuit top is destroyed, a pair of stickers of the girl's own chibified face cover her nipples. Fully averted in the OVA that comes with Estival Versus. This is also averted in the Shinovi Master anime. | |

| Senran Kagura (Video Game) / int_6838a3ec | comment |
Elite Mook: In Crimson Girls there is a tall dummy mook with the highest health of any enemy in the game, with two katanas and a gun that shoots shurikens. Unlike the other Giant Mooks these guys are so tough they only ever appear one at a time. The game takes off the kiddie gloves with Hebijo's final mission where you have to face Daidouji backed up by four robo-dummies. Shinovi Versus introduces different flavors: Bear mooks that don't flinch with normal attacks, Samurai that do the same but with lower defense, added speed and strength, Badgers and Foxes that attack with claws and Rats that ferry supplies. | |

Graying Morality : Deep Crimson is that to Senran Kagura Burst : while Burst revolves around the theme that Good and Evil are not so different, Deep Crimson pushes it a little further with the Good ninjas of Hanzo being ordered to do an evil act in the name of the greater good, while Homura's Crimson Squad takes the morally good standpoint. | |

Knight of Cerebus | |
| Senran Kagura (Video Game) / int_6a47a1e2 | comment |
Knight of Cerebus: The Yoma in general are the main source of Surprisingly Creepy Moments. The series is a lighthearted fanservice-fest, and most of the shinobi villains are not really villainous. These creatures, however, are Eldritch Abominations born from the bloodshed of shinobi wars and described as something out of a horror story, and whenever one shows up the mood instantly darkens. From the first handful of games, and the first season of the anime, is Dogen and Orochi. The former is the Headmaster of Hebijo and a genuinely evil shinobi who does awful things for the sake of his power, while the latter is a powerful Yoma made up from thousands of dead, suffering shinobi and a truly terrifying force that Dogen feeds shinobi to make it powerful enough to bring about an apocalyptic event. | |

Private Military Contractors: Shinobi are this, when you boil it down. The difference between "good" and "evil" is that Good has been subsumed as a division of the Japanese military and has more restrictions imposed on its conduct, while Evil still accepts business contracts from private interests. | |

In Shinobi Versus, Yumi is the villain of the Hanzo and Gessen storylines as the leader of Gessen Girls School who wants to destroy Hanzo for befriending the Crimson Squad, while Miyabi is the villain of the Hebijo and Crimson storylines as the new squad leader of Hebijo who wants to destroy the Crimson Squad for betraying the school. Until both of them are revealed to be pawns of Dōgen, who manipulated them into fighting as part of his revenge plot. | |

Guide Dang It! | |
| Senran Kagura (Video Game) / int_6ec989d8 | comment |
Guide Dang It!: For people aiming for 100% Completion, certain hidden trophies in Shinovi Versus and Estival Versus can invoke this to a certain degree. While most hidden trophies can be easily obtained simply by playing through the game and experimenting on some things, some require an online guide just to even see how to get them.note Recent updates to trophy lists on some platforms allow you to look at the text on hidden trophies. The three most notable examples come from Shinovi Versus. There are three hidden trophies named Don't Worry About It, Please No More!, and You Were Never Heard From Again, which have no in-game indication of how to even get them. For the first two, it requires the usage of the Ultimate Hidden Ninpo. Keep in mind that the Ultimate Ninpos in Shinovi Versus can only be activated when you're low on health, so unlike Estival Versus, you rarely get the chance to even use them. For the former, you need to defeat a boss with one while she's in her underwear. For the latter, you need to let a boss defeat you with one while your girl is in her underwear. The last trophy requires you to be a perv in the dressing room in so many ways. From simply groping to outright stripping the girl's clothes. This one can be rather tricky to get without some proper steps of how to do it. In Estival Versus, while most Purupuru Finishes are triggered by defeating your opponent or vice versa near an "!" sign, there are a couple that don't follow this rule and are only triggered under special conditions. Three of them are tied to certain costumes, which are the Hawaiian Shirt, Summer Swimsuit, and the Bath Towel. These are required for getting one of the trophies in Estival Versus. All you have to do is dress a girl in one of these and then fight her in a mission or online mode. These finishes will trigger regardless of whether or not you're near a sign. But the most infamous example is the Puppet Kaboom finish. Because unlike the three mentioned above, the game gives no indication whatsoever that this one actually exists. To get this finish, you need to be on a Puppet Walker while it's about to self-destruct. But it's very unlikely that you would've even considered trying it on your first playthrough because a): you wouldn't had known about it, and b): you would've abandoned the Puppet Walker out of instinct. | |

Excuse Plot | |
| Senran Kagura (Video Game) / int_70d8269d | comment |
Excuse Plot: Rampant Ninja-related crimes these days. Are you bad enough gals to save Japan?. Although this diminishes as the series goes on, particularly as the characters deal with their trials, and the Yoma become more of a prominent threat. The director split the franchise into two. The Vita games will be more focused on the fanservice (Though they have serious plots of their own), while the DS games focus more on the darker story. Played very straight in the Shinobi Girl's Heart missions in Estival Versus, featuring a lot of deep, character-driven, soul-searching plots such as Homura trying to cure her laryngitis, or Hikage looking for a place to take a nap. This is to balance a main plot that deals with themes of grief, dying with unfinished business, and the psychological toll of having signed up to die young. Again played straight with Peach Beach Splash. There's something about using shinobi energy to keep Shin sealed, but when asked, Mr K and Ms R say that really they thought that having a giant watergun fight for all the girls would be fun. | |

Grey-and-Gray Morality: Probably the point of the plot of the first game and its deconstruction of the 'good ninjas vs evil ninjas' trope, as both groups are shown to have similar circumstances, and ultimately, whatever his or her affiliation, a shinobi is someone who has to kill or be killed. As Hanzo puts it: Light needs darkness to exist. | |

Noble Demon | |
| Senran Kagura (Video Game) / int_7360a6b6 | comment |
Noble Demon: The Hebijo girls are far from being as evil as they seem; in fact, the game goes to lengths to show that they are in fact really close to the Hanzo girls while being much more aware than them that they chose to live in a dark and violent world. Hell, "evil shinobi" means little more than being a mercenary rather than an actual villain. Homura: She fights to feel alive and to protect her Hebijo comrades. Yomi: Apart from her fixation on rich ojou-sama, she's probably one of the sweetest and most friendly of the Hebijo girls. But you have to be a good listener with an affinity for bean sprouts. Hikage: She has multiple opportunities to eliminate Katsuragi, but she never follows through. Mirai: She just want to be recognized, preferably as an equal. Haruka: She genuinely wants to be friend with Hibari. | |

Arc Words: A couple pop up across entries in this series: Shinobi, written with the kanjis meaning "The Beauty in Death". Mainly used by Daidouji-sempai. Has since become a term for describing the girls' unyielding fighting spirit. The word "dance" is used quite a bit in the series, most notably to refer to battles. Heck, "kagura" itself is a name for a type of Shinto theatrical dancing. | |

Morality Kitchen Sink | |
| Senran Kagura (Video Game) / int_7583ecbf | comment |
Morality Kitchen Sink: There are very few characters in the franchise who can be considered to be unambiguously good (Asuka) or evil (Dōgen). The good shinobi have their Knight Templars and the evil shinobi have their Noble Demons to the point of believing in the idea of Necessarily Evil. The neutral forces range anywhere to being jerks, wanting to do good or just trying to stay alive. Even the strongest good guy is just determent on wiping out the Always Chaotic Evil demons without any regard to their own existence, while the demons themselves are Not Always Evil. And practically no one is safe from having a Dark and Troubled Past. One of the earliest lessons the series tries to teach is that the world is not black and white, and learning how to live with that is important. | |

| Senran Kagura (Video Game) / int_75f38750 | comment |
Kaizo Trap: A minor one in Shinovi Versus. In the final battle against Asuka/Homura, depleting your opponent's health to zero will not end the battle right there on the spot. Instead, it will trigger an automatic Aerial Rave for which you must succeed in order win the fight. Fail the Aerial Rave, and your opponent regains 10% of her health and the opportunity to activate her Ultimate Hidden Ninpo, dragging the fight even longer and wearing you down with each failure. | |

The Japan-only phone-based New Wave introduced a total of ten new teamsnote A second Hanzo team, a third Hebijo team, an Idol Singer group called Milky Pop, a rock band called the A.R.C. Angels, a Five-Token Band from the Dancer's Fan school, a team of Otaku from Shinozuka Industrial High, a musician team from the Municipal Blooming Arts school, the public morals committee from Metropolitan Light Cherry Blossom Girls University, and more recently, the Youkai-themed Tooya Tengu-Shinobi Alliance and the astrology themed Zodiac Guiding Star Association. | |

Hence the need for the 'kagura', aka the highest rank a shinobi can hope to attain, a warrior specialized in hunting youma. Miyabi, and later Homura and Asuka aim to reach this rank. | |

Black-and-White Morality: Good Shinobi vs. Evil Shinobi, though it's averted as ninjas on both sides are sympathetic. Invoked by the higher ups, as the intentional separation is there to draw out Shin. | |

"Rashomon"-Style | |
| Senran Kagura (Video Game) / int_7bb1296b | comment |
"Rashomon"-Style: While the Hebijo and Hanzo storylines in Burst claim to be different angles on the same story, there are clear contradictions in the narrative. The most blatant is with Hibari's defection to the Hebijo side... in the Hanzo story arc she voluntarily joins in in shameful self-exile after losing the Hanzo secret scroll, whereas the Hebijo story presents the same sequence of events as though she was simply brainwashed. The anime tries to combine these by having her be brainwashed into giving over the scroll, then willingly join Hebijo to reclaim it. Deep Crimson deals with this by retelling the entire final chapter of Burst, streamlining the story and changing things as necessary to better fit the Yōma into the narrative. | |

Attack of the 50-Foot Whatever | |
| Senran Kagura (Video Game) / int_7ccd3698 | comment |
Attack of the 50-Foot Whatever: Hibari sometimes plays into this. Senran Kagura 2: Deep Crimson's Hipster DLC, not that kind of Hipster, is a Shoot 'Em Up non-canon story where Hanzo city is being attacked by the Hebijo girls using the “bursting boob power”. The problem? The power makes them gigantic. It's up to the Hanzo girls to defeat the Hebijo girls and save Hanzo city. This happens to Ryōna in the OVA of Estival Versus. She drinks some sort of poison and turns into a giant. The other girls get her back to normal by beating the poison out of her. Happens in the final mission of the Hebijo story arc in Peach Beach Splash. Once again, Ryōna turns gigantic by getting into contact with poison. This promptly turns her into the Final Boss of the arc. The four other Hebijo girls have to turn her back into normal by spraying the poison (in the form of foam) of her body with their water pistols. | |

Virtual Paper Doll | |
| Senran Kagura (Video Game) / int_7e5a2811 | comment |
Virtual Paper Doll: Customizing the girls' appearances is a staple feature in the games that gets more and more advanced with every installment. In Burst, you can assign each one a Uniform (seen pre-transformation), a Shinobi Outfit (seen post-transformation), a swimsuit (for frantic mode and also seen during transformations), and an extra item or two (accessories and generic wigs). There were also a few restrictions in terms of what girls could wear what costumes. In Shinovi Versus, any girl can wear any costume, "extra" is divided into the hair slot and several accessory slots, wigs now include designs based off the hairstyles of the various characters, you can adjust the size and placement of accessories, and the swimsuit slot was replaced with the lingerie slot (the designs of which consist strictly of skimpy underwear, rather than some of the less-revealing offerings from Burst). In Deep Crimson, any costume in the Uniform or Shinobi Outfit slots can be applied to either one of those slots (even if they were intended for the opposite slot), wigs come in any combination of style and color (I.E. character 1 can wear a wig based on character 2's hairstyle that has character 3's hair color), accessories can be assigned to appear in either or both of a girl's transformed and untransformed states, lingerie are called swimsuits again (but are otherwise the same as in SV), transformed and untransformed states can each be assigned an individual swimsuit, and you can also give the girls different weapons (which are purely cosmetic). | |

Dysfunction Junction: All the girls have some malfunction, see Dark and Troubled Past above. It's a miracle that the Hebijo girls aren't at each others throat, if only because their anger is directed at someone or something outside the group. While that can be said for Homura's group, Miyabi's group, do self-destruct near the end of their story. They get better though. | |

Conservation of Ninjutsu | |
| Senran Kagura (Video Game) / int_82f5ced1 | comment |
Conservation of Ninjutsu: Interestingly, this applies to both Hanzo and Hebijo. When there are tons of Hebijo mooks the Hanzo gals defeat them easily. When the Hanzo gals try to gang up on a single Hebijo girl, the Hanzo gals are in danger of losing badly. The five Hebijo snake girls are far from being on the level of your ordinary Hebijo mook, though. Justified Trope: It is explicitly mentioned that the light faction handpicks the already-talented while the dark faction accepts anyone. This also applies to the Yoma as the series goes on: In the Versus continuity. In Rin's backstory, a single Yoma effortlessly slaughtered a Kagura and her entire elite squad, and would have killed Rin as well if not for Miyabi's father. By contrast, the combined forces of all four teams are able to make quick work of an entire army of Yoma in the Crimson Squad's ending. Deep Crimson plays with the trope since introduces lower classes of Yoma to be used as regular mooks but also allows the girls to take down giant Yoma (of the same class that nearly killed Rin in the past) on their own. And that is without counting Daidouji who takes on a massive army of Yoma by herself | |

Red Oni, Blue Oni: Shinovi Versus deliberately contrasts Yumi and Miyabi, who are Good and Evil Blue Oni, against Asuka and Homura, who are Good and Evil Red Oni. Ukyou and Sakyou, the twin guitarists from A.R.C. Angels, are a deliberate inversion. Due to mutual admiration, each sister decided to copy the other, so Ukyou, a natural Blue Oni, dyed her hair red and acts like an aggressive Genki Girl, while Sakyou, a natural Red Oni, dyed her hair blue and plays it calm and sweet. | |

| Senran Kagura (Video Game) / int_8504e5ff | comment |
World of Buxom: Almost the entire cast is busty as hell, and you can count the exceptions on one hand. Mirai used to be the only flat-chested character, but Shinovi Versus introduced Ryoubi◊, who's just as flat but compensates with the illusion of her shinobi form.◊ Then New Wave introduced Muramasa◊ and Ranmaru, who's actually modestly-sized instead of being huge or flatnote Oddly, she and Hibari both have an official bust size of 80cm despite Hibari looking several sizes larger than Ranmaru.. Estival Versus then added Kafuru, who also sports a modest endowment. Lampshaded in Neptunia x Senran Kagura: Ninja Wars when Neptune notes that this crossover for Blanc will be like playing on Hard Mode or even Nightmare Mode. | |

Eldritch Abomination | |
| Senran Kagura (Video Game) / int_8774fb47 | comment |
Eldritch Abomination: Yamata no Orochi... Where to start? It seems to be one-third humanoid giant, one-third dragon, and one-third Humongous Mecha. Four of its five necks have no heads on them, instead ending in great masses of bloodstained katanas. It has two bizarre mechanical appendages that can only be described as giant tennis rackets covered in bloodstained katanas. On its central neck is the head of a mecha-dragon, covered in bloodstained katanas, and in the head's mouth is a human face, contorted with rage. Oh, and the sound of its roar is mixed with a baby crying. The Yoma in general follow this trope to a tee, with many of them combining human anatomy with monstrous designs. The greatest example in the series is Shin, responsible for creating all the yoma, and in fact the only reason there's a good vs evil conflict in the first place: To create enough bloodshed to draw him out. | |

Dōgen is the cruel man who runs Hebijo Academy. Throughout the series, he manipulates the Hebijo girls, both old and new, into serving him. He cares nothing for them, however, and is willing to use their deaths to serve his plans. Whether it be sacrificing girls to Orochi (game)/the Yin and Yang scrolls (anime and manga), pitting several shinobi schools against each other, or summoning an army of yōma to destroy Japan, Dōgen completely lacks the sympathetic qualities of the other evil shinobi and antagonists, instead being defined by his malice and desire to Take Over the World. | |

Though, the two who fit this the most are Ikaruga, who was adopted into a rich ninja family, and Yomi, who was born in the poorest slums. Ikaruga's first true friend in Hanzo Academy was with the orphaned Katsuragi. | |

Big Bad | |
| Senran Kagura (Video Game) / int_970c790a | comment |
Big Bad: Burst and Ninja Flash! anime: Burst: In Skirting Shadows, the Hanzo storyline, Homura is the leader of the Hebijo squad sent to steal the Super Secret Ninja Scroll from Hanzo Academy in preparation for an all-out war against them. In Crimson Girls, the Hebijo storyline of Burst, Headmaster Dōgen and Orochi are revealed as the true villains, the former being the man who runs Hebijo and orders Homura around, and the latter being the powerful yoma whom Dōgen wants to use to Take Over the World. Ninja Flash! and manga adaptations: As in the game, Homura's boss, Headmaster Dōgen, is the leader of Hebijo who aims to steal both Super Secret Ninja Scrolls and use their power to destroy Hanzo Academy and Take Over the World. In Shinobi Versus, Yumi is the villain of the Hanzo and Gessen storylines as the leader of Gessen Girls School who wants to destroy Hanzo for befriending the Crimson Squad, while Miyabi is the villain of the Hebijo and Crimson storylines as the new squad leader of Hebijo who wants to destroy the Crimson Squad for betraying the school. Until both of them are revealed to be pawns of Dōgen, who manipulated them into fighting as part of his revenge plot. In Deep Crimson, Dōgen and Orochi are once again the villains as they are the leaders of the yoma invasion of Japan. In Estival Versus, Sayuri/Jasmine, while by no means evil or villainous is revealed to have masterminded the events of the story in an attempt to force the girls to accept and adopt her beliefs that a Shinobi must cast off her bonds with others and her emotions in order to become a "true" Kagura. | |

Geodesic Cast | |
| Senran Kagura (Video Game) / int_9915cc3f | comment |
Geodesic Cast: The franchise tends to introduce girls in five-man squads. The original game introduced the Hanzo Academy and Hebijo Academy teams (and each side had a Secret Character in Daidoji-sempai and Suzune-sensei). Shinovi Versus introduced the Gessen Girls academy and the New Hebijo girls, of course with five each (Though lacking a Secret Character). The Japan-only phone-based New Wave introduced a total of ten new teamsnote A second Hanzo team, a third Hebijo team, an Idol Singer group called Milky Pop, a rock band called the A.R.C. Angels, a Five-Token Band from the Dancer's Fan school, a team of Otaku from Shinozuka Industrial High, a musician team from the Municipal Blooming Arts school, the public morals committee from Metropolitan Light Cherry Blossom Girls University, and more recently, the Youkai-themed Tooya Tengu-Shinobi Alliance and the astrology themed Zodiac Guiding Star Association. Estival Versus introduced a festival-themed group consisting of Asuka's grandmother Sayuri, her three apprentices, and a half-ghost Sayuri brought partially back to life. Deep Crimson subverts the normal pattern by introducing only three characters, Kagura, Naraku, and Ikaruga's brother, Murasame, but introduces a new one by grouping the girls in pairs (Asuka and Homura, Ikaruga and Yomi, etc.). Since Kagura and Naraku are introduced as a pair unto themselves, the only real deviation is Murasame (who is unlocked either through an Old Save Bonus or as Downloadable Content). As of Shinovi Versus, the franchise insisting on the five-man squad arrangement has resulted in it trying to force various groups of characters that are otherwise unrelated into five-man groups. | |

Henshin Hero: While just about everyone is sufficient with combat in most normal circumstances, they can all undergo Shinobi Transformation, which will boost their stats, give them access to their Ninja Arts, and also fully restore their health, so it behooves you to learn timing to maximize its effectiveness. You can also invert this by stripping down to your skivvies... Which STILL powers you up. | |

School Festival | |
| Senran Kagura (Video Game) / int_9a1de231 | comment |
School Festival: In Shinovi Versus. For shinobi schools though, a school festival is more akin to a fierce martial arts tournament where the loser's school is burned to the ground by the winner. And again in Estival Versus, although the "Festival" is started by an independent entity. | |

Villains Out Shopping | |
| Senran Kagura (Video Game) / int_9ae0ead1 | comment |
Villains Out Shopping: As part of the Grey-and-Gray Morality, every character has hobbies and talks about things they plan to do in their downtime, and most of the girls are downright cordial to each other if they happen to meet in public. It's at its most visible in Bon Appetit!, which shows how the Hebijo Elites might react to the other characters if they didn't have a brainwashing-induced pathological hatred of the other teams. | |

Played very straight in the Shinobi Girl's Heart missions in Estival Versus, featuring a lot of deep, character-driven, soul-searching plots such as Homura trying to cure her laryngitis, or Hikage looking for a place to take a nap. This is to balance a main plot that deals with themes of grief, dying with unfinished business, and the psychological toll of having signed up to die young. | |

No Canon for the Wicked | |
| Senran Kagura (Video Game) / int_a2326b6a | comment |
No Canon for the Wicked: Zigzagged. While the original intent was for the Crimson Squad's (who are Evil Shinobi) ending to be the "canon" ending for Shinovi Versus. The sheer popularity of Yumi and the general disinterest Japan had for Deep Crimson made it Gessen's ending the canon one and from which Estival Versus picks up. However, so the development present in the other routes doesn't go to waste, the writers cherry-picked elements from them to complement the Gessen route. | |

Mood Whiplash | |
| Senran Kagura (Video Game) / int_a4c37cbe | comment |
Mood Whiplash: Extremist in case of the games, as pertaining to a franchise featuring plenty of comedic hijinks and boobs jokes set in the Crapsack World of modern shinobi. Usually, each instance of Katsuragi groping another girl, Yagyu having a nosebleed over Hibari or the Hanzo shinobi fooling around in bikini is followed by a dramatic flashback on how a character lost a beloved one (parents on the run for failing to kill themselves after a failed mission, dead little sister, relative murdered by an opposing faction, decapitated mother, etc), melancholic musings about the meaning of life as a shinobi, and No-Holds-Barred Contest between highschool girls. The melodrama can be quite heavy, at times. See Lighter and Softer above for the anime and manga adaptations. Yet Nobody Can Die: So far none of the main girls, from any of the schools, has kicked the bucket. There must be some weird comedic/moe-moe invulnerability shield at work here. Also, see the Pastiche entry below. The opening animation to Estival Versus perfectly summarizes this in the first few moments as it begins with Ryōbi and Ryōna silently praying at their sister's grave followed by Ryōbi hearing a noise. The viewer is then treated to a gratuitous panty shot from Ryōna as she peeks through some nearby bushes and Ryōbi spanks her for being too loud. | |

Giant Mook: There are large and overweight female delinquents that are prominent in Skirting Shadows. Crimson Girls introduces even more with huge muscular girls in Seifukus, and large round dummies with Torpedo Tits. Shinovi and Estival Versus has the bear shinobi. They're large overweight female ninja with the ability to mow you down by performing rolling attacks. It also isn't helped by the fact that they can deal fire damage as well, or that they need strong attacks to flinch. Deep Crimson features massive versions of the standard dummies. Estival Versus has ram-based shinobi who have their standard gargantuan appearance (not unlike the bear shinobi), but when these fall, they will return to being to normal shinobi who start Dual Wielding the ram's horns. | |

To Be Lawful or Good | |
| Senran Kagura (Video Game) / int_a922f8de | comment |
To Be Lawful or Good: The Hanzo girls find themselves faced with this dilemma in Deep Crimson when they're given orders by the Good Shinobi higher-ups to capture and then eliminate Kagura and Naraku, despite not being told why and being uncomfortable with killing humans when they seem to share the same goal of destroying the yoma. They don't necessarily like the orders, but it's hard for them to reconcile their feelings with their duty to follow orders or falling off the path of the "good" shinobi. Ironically, it's the Crimson Squad who choose to be the "Good" in this scenario, fighting their Hanzo counterparts and chewing them out for acting the role of mindless drones to nebulous higher-ups when they should be protecting the innocent citizens from the rampaging yoma (which the Crimson Squad takes upon themselves to do in their stead). | |

Adults Are Useless: Zig-Zagged. While Kiriya tends to remain by the sidelines of the games' events due his fear of causing the same mistake that almost got Rin killed, he plays a significant role in Deep Crimson by convincing the Shinobi Council to let the girls take care of Dougen. We also have Hanzo and his wife, who are the reason Versus and Estival Versus events happen in the first place. And last but not least, there are Rin and Daidouji who are major players in the stories of Burst, Versus and Deep Crimson. Played straight with them in Estival Versus' and Peach Beach Splash'' where their plot relevance is minimal. | |

Face–Heel Turn | |
| Senran Kagura (Video Game) / int_af3ea0e3 | comment |
Face–Heel Turn: Hibari transfering to Hebijo school. It was part of a plot to infiltrate the academy and recover an important item stolen by the snake girls. Hibari may seem weak and childish most of the time, but this girl has wits and guts when it counts the most. Doesn't apply in the Hebijo storyline as Hibari is revealed to be brainwashed by Dougen. Rin when it is revealed that she is Suzune-sensei. | |

Stupid Good | |
| Senran Kagura (Video Game) / int_affdffd9 | comment |
Stupid Good: Unexpectedly, the evil shinobi of Hebijo have shades of this trope. As mentioned under Equal Opportunity Evil, they pride themselves on accepting everyone, while good shinobi only accept a select few. This even applies to people whom they have reason to suspect are joining specifically to betray the school, or people who are explicitly joining to kill one of the other students. | |

Hard Levels, Easy Bosses: Going Frantic turns most of the game into this, with levels populated with Mooks that can easily gang up on you and deplete your health in seconds due to your halved Defense, only to end with a Boss fight that can be won near-effortlessly by performing a few Secret Ninja Arts due to your doubled Attack power. | |

Ass Kicks You: Hibari has a prominent hip throw as the finisher to her aerial combo, and uses her butt with her aerial smash. Her aerial special even involves her using ninja magic to grow giant, then drop butt-first onto her opponents. The Crimson Girls opening even shows Hibari and Haruka trading butt blows so powerful it literally shreds their clothing. | |

Deep Crimson subverts the normal pattern by introducing only three characters, Kagura, Naraku, and Ikaruga's brother, Murasame, but introduces a new one by grouping the girls in pairs (Asuka and Homura, Ikaruga and Yomi, etc.). Since Kagura and Naraku are introduced as a pair unto themselves, the only real deviation is Murasame (who is unlocked either through an Old Save Bonus or as Downloadable Content). | |

Summon Magic | |
| Senran Kagura (Video Game) / int_b9085a47 | comment |
Summon Magic: Several high level ninpo actually call forth special animals to help their summoner attack. The most commonly-occurring example is Hibari's cartoony magic rabbit, who rides around on a thunder cloud; he can be seen in just about every game she can use ninpo in. Asuka and Yumi have powerful summons in Shinovi Versus — a giant frog and giant ice-spider, respectively — but neither of these appears in Estival Versus. The girls' ultimate ninpos instead become brief access to their Super Modes. | |

Killed Offscreen: How the franchise handles when secondary characters kick the bucket: as the plot is told in a Visual Novel fashion, a wall of text allow for more ambiguity than a gory CG. See Miyabi's group or Tsumuji for examples. It allows for some neat Never Found the Body tricks, too - The Hebijo girls in the first game are exhibit #1, but Dougen must be pretty glad for it. Well, or for all the good it did him at least, as Homura didn't miss him in SV. Or we can only hope. | |

| Senran Kagura (Video Game) / int_c660bc15 | comment |
Fan Disservice: The large-scale youma featured in the series usually have a feminine figure, but instead of making them look appealing, the series produces the opposite effect by heaping on Body Horror, Mind Screw, and the Uncanny Valley. For example, one of the Youma from SK2 is actually an unfought giantess... whose breasts tear themselves free of her body, crash into the ground and start rolling around like demonic bowling balls the size of trucks. The boss fight begins here; you have to do enough damage to the wrecking boobs to shatter them like eggs, only to discover the giant faces inside leering out at you. | |

This is given a Hand Wave with the ninjas' able to seal small battlegrounds in what amounts to a pocket dimension — depending on the translation it either takes advantage of Weirdness Censor or is an actual, cut-off-from-Earth pocket dimension. | |

Shout-Out | |
| Senran Kagura (Video Game) / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: Murakumo's manga is about a muscular shinobi warrior in a post-apocalyptic future saving people from the clutches of evil ninja thieves. Hmmm....When you think about it, it sound suspiciously similar to a certain Fist of the North Star. ...I am Yozakura...Bzzz...Yozakura...Showtime... In Deep Crimson, Hikage's aerial Ninja Art has her throwing a bunch of knives at her target and shouting "MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA". Mirai's renegade uniform has her wearing a pink tank top that has a star symbol with 'Star Platinum' written around it. Daidouji's Shinobi outfit pretty much makes her into a female Jotaro Kujo. In the US version of Estival Versus on of the missions is called "You know, for kids!" In Peach Beach Splash, a boss fight pits you Mr. K and Ms. R who are fighting on mechs. As they are defeated, the mechs will explode, turn them into A Twinkle in the Sky and they shout lines such as "See you next week!" and "I'm blasting off again!" | |

During Rin's first mission, her group of 50 (including a kagura) were slaughtered by 10 youmas in a few minutes. | |

Lighter and Softer | |
| Senran Kagura (Video Game) / int_ce6555f0 | comment |
Lighter and Softer: Both the anime and the first two manga adaptations, as well as the Vita titles (especially Bon Appetit) compared to the 3DS titles, which have more of a Tournament Arc feel to them compared to the more dramatic Yoma-related arcs in the 3DS games. The games have a taste for the dramatic for a fanservice game, to convey the point that even if the girls are highschool girls trying to live a 'normal' and happy school life, the ninja world they have chosen to inhabit can be terribly dark and violent. Applies especially to Estival Versus. Despite dealing with themes of grief and early, thankless death, the stakes are explicitly non-lethal and the competition is treated as a friendly challenge by the characters. | |

Not Always Evil | |
| Senran Kagura (Video Game) / int_cea9db1 | comment |
Not Always Evil: Shinovi Master anime reveals that yoma can develop human emotions and can even feel love. Fubuki's mother was a humanoid yoma who fell in love with a human and Rasetsu mainly follows Fubuki since her mother saved her life in the past. Later it is revealed that Reki of the Senki Shu is a sentient yoma who originally joined up with shinobi to exterminate her own kind, only to get betrayed by the said shinobi. | |

PowerOfFriendship | |
| Senran Kagura (Video Game) / int_d5b84171 | comment |
It varies from faction to faction, though. While Hanzo ninja are reluctant to kill unless absolutely necessary and rely heavily on the Power of Friendship trope, Hebijo ninja are much more faithful to the traditional depiction of the pitiless shinobi and are shown to be willing to kill to accomplish their mission. During Haruka's mission to infiltrate Hanzo school in 'Burst', most of her reconnaissance squad ends up being possessed by the power of the ninja scroll and Haruka has to order Mirai to be ready to kill any of their former allies who would pose an obstacle to the success of the mission; Mirai is distressed by having to kill her comrades, and even Haruka is far from being comfortable with the situation, but they end up doing it anyway. On Shin Hebijo route in Shinovi Versus, Miyabi's group killing most of the others schools' characters is heavily implied. Yet as Ikaruga at least is shown to having survived her fight with Murasaki and has the opportunity to warn Yomi, their fate is ultimately anyone's guess. | |

Highly-Visible Ninja | |
| Senran Kagura (Video Game) / int_d635e82c | comment |
Highly-Visible Ninja: Despite how the entire cast is made up of shinobi, there isn't a lot of emphasis on stealth. The characters' outfits are often rather flashy and can sometimes be revealing. That said, there's usually emphasis put on how the theatrics only start within a Camouflage Barrier. While louder than the traditional image of a ninja, some of the outfits do actually would blend in for a character's context. Such as everygirl student Asuka's ninja outfit just being her uniform with some extra layers, or adopted aristocrat Ikaruga's military parade uniform. | |

Training from Hell | |
| Senran Kagura (Video Game) / int_d66cd0e6 | comment |
Training from Hell: The daily regiment at any Ninja School, but Hebijo takes it to an extreme degree, even by ninja standards. It helps to compensate the fact that contrary to Hanzo, few of Hebijo's students come from a family with a ninja background; the main recruitment point has much more to do with anger and revenge. | |

Anti-Frustration Features | |
| Senran Kagura (Video Game) / int_d6f284a3 | comment |
Anti-Frustration Features: In Estival Versus, there are these special finishers called Purupuru Finishes which are triggered if you defeat your opponent or vice versa near one of the "!" signs on the map, and they're critical to getting one of the trophies. However, this includes the destructible festival platforms as well, which are needed to be destroyed to unlock the Shinobi Girl's Heart stories. Luckily, if you happen to destroy all of the platforms, this specific Purupuru Finish will be unlocked in the shop anyway, saving the players a lot of trouble of having to worry about them being lost. Raid Boss Events in New Wave G Burst have a feature where the player can send out a cooperation request to their team, or other players to help defeat a boss that's too powerful to beat alone. | |

Lethal Lava Land | |
| Senran Kagura (Video Game) / int_d7d588c8 | comment |
Lethal Lava Land: The Shinobi Festival stage in Estival Versus is an interesting subversion. It's a shinobi festival located on an active volcanic slope, where molten lava is seen flowing in the background. The main stadium itself is located right in the middle of the volcanic crater, where the audience is cheering in the background despite not being burned to a crisp by the intense heat from the lava a few feat away. The lava however doesn't really serve as a major obstacle. Justified, as Sayuri mentions the battlefields are at least in part created by her Shinobi Barriers, and she has a flair for the dramatic. | |

Video Game Perversity Potential: As expected of a fanservice franchise. In each games' dressing rooms, you can do questionable things to any of the girls such as flipping their skirts or jiggling their breasts. However, all of them will tell you to stop it or outright scold or reprimand you for it (except for Ryōna, of course). Reflexions may as well be Video Game Perversity Potential: The Game. The game essentially requires the players to get ahem "hands-on" with the girls by giving them a massage; and yes, you can certainly touch them in those places. | |

Obligatory Swearing | |
| Senran Kagura (Video Game) / int_e292f761 | comment |
Obligatory Swearing: After XSEED accommodated the series with an M Rating / 16 PEGI due values dissonance regarding sexual themes in the West preventing the series from being aimed towards older teens, the English lines got kinkier and strong cuss words started being used. Mirai for one cusses like a sailor once she gets feisty, firing “fucks” like no tomorrow. Ryōki also does this when she's in her Evil personality, and her sister Ryōbi also swears often, especially when dealing with Ryōki's ghost, Ryōna, or anyone else who makes her angry. Spice Up the Subtitles: Resulting from this practice is that the localized text contains strong language while the girls speaking in Japanese are nowhere as rough as the subtitles are making them out to be saying. | |

Not Quite Dead: While each of the Hebijo girl seems to meet her end fighting her Hanzo counterpart during the final invasion of Hebijo Academy, the silhouettes of the snake girls can be seen in the distance among the ruins of the school when the fight with the last boss is over. Since then, Burst has confirmed that Homura and her friends survived the fight: They have become runaway ninja after defeating Suzune-sensei and appear in Shinovi Versus as a whole new, independent group named Homura Gurentai (Homura Crimson Squad). Dogen shows up alive and well in both the Deep Crimson and Versus timelines. In both timelines, he again meets his end at Homura's hands, but time will tell if either will stick. Also, Hebijo's Suzune-sensei: She was initially a student of Kiriya-sensei supposedly KIA during a mission years ago. | |

Hate Sink | |
| Senran Kagura (Video Game) / int_e5fd8bc2 | comment |
Hate Sink: Most of the evil shinobi are Anti Villains at worst, and the yoma are mindless beasts who are also fully capable of love and kindness, but these two evil shinobi are truly evil: Dōgen is the cruel man who runs Hebijo Academy. Throughout the series, he manipulates the Hebijo girls, both old and new, into serving him. He cares nothing for them, however, and is willing to use their deaths to serve his plans. Whether it be sacrificing girls to Orochi (game)/the Yin and Yang scrolls (anime and manga), pitting several shinobi schools against each other, or summoning an army of yōma to destroy Japan, Dōgen completely lacks the sympathetic qualities of the other evil shinobi and antagonists, instead being defined by his malice and desire to Take Over the World. Komichi was Homura's seemingly kind mentor and crush who is responsible for her turn to evil. After gaining Homura's trust over a long period of time, he got her to confess to being a good shinobi heir, then reveals that he was an evil shinobi sent to kill her family. When Homura asks him why he befriended her instead of simply torturing her for the information, he explained that he loved to see the looks on people's faces after being betrayed, before trying to kill Homura herself and ultimately getting her rejected by the good shinobi after she fought back, driving her directly into the arms of the aforementioned Dōgen. | |

Combination Attack | |
| Senran Kagura (Video Game) / int_e69e12b2 | comment |
Also in Deep Crimson, there are the special Secret Fusion Ninja Arts for characters who fight in pairs. Unlike the other Ninpos, these are stage-wide and can target all enemies on the stage at once, but require both characters to have three Ninja Scrolls at the same time. Only certain pairs will have specific fusion Ninpos (like Asuka's and Homura's Flying Wild Dance) while the rest have generic ones regardless of the pair-up. | |

Fond Memories That Could Have Been | |
| Senran Kagura (Video Game) / int_e6a5d84b | comment |
Fond Memories That Could Have Been: In the first game, Homura and Asuka passing some time as friends, dining at Hanzo's restaurant before the final assault on Hebijo academy and knowing that they will then have to fight. Asuka asking Homura her reason to follow the way of the ninja may qualify as a stealth Tear Jerker. You Can't Fight Fate: Not that Asuka, as a ninja, isn't ready to put down Homura if she is ordered to; but now that she knows a little more about the snake girls and, putting aside the 'good' and 'bad' labels, the fact that Hebijo and Hanzo students are basically the same, she can't help but ponder about the absurdity of the situation. | |

Jiggle Physics | |
| Senran Kagura (Video Game) / int_ea46254a | comment |
Jiggle Physics: Comes with the territory. The original game seemed to have been made just to show off this effect in 3D. The Switch titles make use of the proffered HD Rumble system in the Joycon controllers, as well as the motion controls, to make the jiggle physics even more 'realistic' - the developers explicitly showed off a plate of wobbling flan pudding as a way to indicate how they planned to exploit the HD rumble technology. | |

Bonus Boss | |
| Senran Kagura (Video Game) / int_ee0327e7 | comment |
Bonus Boss: For the Hanzō storyline, we have Daidōji, and for the Hebijo storyline, we have Suzune-sensei, aka Rin. Both of them need to be defeated with all 5 characters in a row. The former focuses on pure power at the expense of speed. Once her HP is in the red, if she catches you on the ground, she will use an unavoidable, unblockable dragon punch that kills you in one hit. As for the latter, good luck even catching her as she dashes around the battlefield at lightspeed slashing you up and throwing Fuuma Shurikens. Most of the paths you can take in Deep Crimson's Yoma Nest end in a battle against a stronger version of a boss from the main story. The most difficult path, however, ends in a battle against Ultimate Asuka and Crimson Homura. | |

The Battle Didn't Count | |
| Senran Kagura (Video Game) / int_ee3438ee | comment |
The Battle Didn't Count: In the Hanzo storyline of the first game (and Burst), Hebijo Academy spends the first few chapters pulling this out of their asses. After Homura's first fight, it's implied she's lying, and Haruka at least has the excuse that she's body surfing into a lifelike doll of herself, but the rest of the girls will just infuriatingly run off, claiming that you didn't deal any damage, neverminding that Clothing Damage in this series is practically evidence in a court of law that you took substantial damage. Shinovi Versus does this again in the Hanzo story, this time courtesy of the Gessen girls. Katsuragi even lampshades this after her battle with Imu. | |

Senran Kagura 2 actually adds in a playable male character in the form of Ikaruga's brother, Murasame, who gets the same Rule of Sexy treatment as the girls. | |
