Dan The Man is a web animation made by Studio Joho following the adventure of a video game character named, well... Dan, in his quest to complete the game and do whatever it takes to finish it. Be it saving princess, confronting a drunk guy, defending the village from dragon, and so on. All leads to a huge conflict he has to face yet.In the nearby kingdom, a violent resistance movement is brewing, and the king's forces have already kidnapped the peasants. Dan sets out to save them, but soon finds himself caught in a brewing civil war, and the truth behind it is not what it seems.All of the episodes can be found here. Stage 8 has been released as a mobile game made by Halfbrick Studios and has been adapted later into video form, though some of the plot elements have been changed. The continuation in form of Stage 9 was released five years later in late 2021 with more episodes following after until it reach the season finale in October 2022, followed with an announcement that the sequel, Dan the Man 2 alongside the third season of the web series, is in development.Official Website for the game.Launch Trailer Story Trailer Story Recap Game Modes Trailer Christmas Update Multiplayer Mode Trailer | |

Evil Versus Evil | |
| Dan The Man (Web Animation) / int_1645005b | comment |
Evil Versus Evil: As the story progresses, it slowly becomes clear that the Resistance and the King's Army are not much better than each other, as they pretty much do the exact same things - shooting, killing, and beating random civilians and summarily executing unarmed and surrendering Mooks. The army is enslaving peasants, but multiple cutscenes also show that the rebels are willing to pilfer and steal pretty much anything that is of value. After the Resistance Leader kills the King, he takes the crown and immediately shoots one of the Geezers for calling him out, and becomes the Final Boss. | |

Helmets Are Hardly Heroic | |
| Dan The Man (Web Animation) / int_33b4e7f | comment |
Helmets Are Hardly Heroic: The King's Guard who is bothered by the peasant-powered treadmill (and who eventually defects to help Josie) doesn't wear a helmet. Unfortunately, the Resistance didn't get the memo, or just didn't care. In Stage 9, he is the one who informs King about enslaved peasants and saves him from being shot by the Advisor. You can choose to play this straight or avert this with your Custom Character, as the King's Goon's Outfit has a helmet and a few other outfits have different head gear as well.. | |

Surprisingly Realistic Outcome | |
| Dan The Man (Web Animation) / int_3ed23024 | comment |
Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: A common theme in the series. While the series is set in a video game, realistic outcomes sometimes happen. In Stage 1, Dan rescues a princess who seems to be in love with him… and then demands more and more expensive things, to the point where Dan gets heavily enough in debt to lose everything. When he tries to fight back, he loses his life as well. It turns out that pairing up the princess with the Vendor is the best result, and clears the stage. In Stage 3, it's revealed the bodies of the enemies killed in Stage 2 remained instead of merely disappearing, and there's even a dog chewing on one of them. Josie is, naturally, too traumatized to participate in the partying. Also in Stage 3, beating up a drunk ends up having the same end result as beating up anyone else in the world: their death. This results in Dan facing the full consequences of murder, including arrest, trial, and execution. | |

Deus ex Machina | |
| Dan The Man (Web Animation) / int_3fca462c | comment |
Deus ex Machina: After you beat The Dark Master in his boss fight, it initially appears that The Dark Master was not actually being hurt by the player's attacks. Thankfully, his polar opposite, The Light Master, arrives just in time. Even the achievement for "beating" the Dark Master lampshades this with the exact wording of the trope. | |

Alternate Continuity | |
| Dan The Man (Web Animation) / int_450c5a85 | comment |
Alternate Continuity: Downplayed. While they follow the exact same storyline, both game and web series versions of Stage 8 play differently to each other, with the climax of their respective story being one of the major examples. Before both versions end with the Resistance Leader blowing himself up alongside the protagonists, Dan is the only one who survives the whole ordeal before he faces the Resistance Leader's giant mech in the game version while the web series one shows one of the geezers being the sole survivor instead, shooting the leader in the crotch before he's able to fight back. | |

Gameplay and Story Segregation: Dan has an extra life on hand that allows him to respawn at the very start of Stage 8 after he gets killed by the Resistance Leader, but because it only comes up in that moment, Dan can't use it in the game, instead relying on potions to subvert death. | |

Violence is the Only Option | |
| Dan The Man (Web Animation) / int_7a7ec1e8 | comment |
Violence is the Only Option: Averted on several occasions, particularly in Stage 3, where fighting back against The Drunk Guy ends with him being killed and Dan being executed by the police, and befriending him clears the Stage. Played straight in the end of Stage 8-4-3, when after restarting to 8-1-1, Dan just beats up the Resistance...who were arguably the real bad guys anyway. Stage 9, which continues from there shows this scene again at the beginning, but averts for the rest of the short, as Dan siding with peasants ends with Josie and other trapped peasants saved and King finding out about Advisor's cruel orders and turning his army against him. | |

Gainax Ending | |
| Dan The Man (Web Animation) / int_82accf22 | comment |
Gainax Ending: At the climax of Stage 8, after almost every established character dies at the hands of the Resistance, including Josie(!), Dan fights the final boss. When the Resistance Leader is defeated, he pulls off a Taking You with Me stunt and detonates the bombs in the castle, killing him and Dan. Dan respawns to the beginning of Stage 8-1-1 and resorts to beating up the Resistance, which the Peasants cheer about. End game and cue feelings of "...that's it?". However, Stage 9 continues on where it left off. The video version of Stage 8 changes things up, where the Sole Survivor is one of the Geezers instead of Dan (or Josie). The Resistance Leader detonates the bombs and Dan respawns without his memory, and he leads the Resistance again. Only this time, the Geezers decide to sit the battle out. | |

| Dan The Man (Web Animation) / int_8f612013 | comment |
Token Good Teammate: Almost every single one of the executives are greedy jackasses, except for two. When they begin to present some pretty good alternative sources of power to their colleagues, the entire board actually laughs. When they find out about that the idea of using peasants to power the whole kingdom was more dubious, they waste no time in trying to reveal to the people about their discovery. Unfortunately they don't last very long at the hands of the Dark Master. Also, one of the guards overlooking the Peasant-powered treadmill is clearly troubled by it. In fact, he was the one that sent the evidence of how the Peasant-powered treadmill isn't completely humanitarian to the above Executives. | |

Big Bad: The web series and Stage 8 game has a Big Bad Ensemble between the Advisor and the Resistance Leader, who are fighting for control of the Kingdom. The former controls the kingdom and enslaves the peasants, while the latter aims to become king himself and is willing to kill people to do so. The Frosty Plains arc has the Advisor once again, who leads his men in stealing the peasants’ Christmas decorations and enslaving them. The Fright Zone arc has Professor Brains, who is sending his zombies to invade the kingdom through portals. Stage 10 onwards, Dan is pitted against the High Priest, leader of Chicken God cultists who's holding grudge against him for indirectly made the peasants worship him following the events of Stage 9 and replacing every Chicken God statues with his image in the process. | |

Allegedly Free Game: For the game, if you don't pay for premium, be ready to be interrupted by third-party video ads mid-way through a level, and another when the game transitions to menu from the end of a gameplay session. | |

The Revolution Will Not Be Civilized | |
| Dan The Man (Web Animation) / int_a0c55654 | comment |
The Revolution Will Not Be Civilized: The resistance starts off kidnapping a princess, and in the first few stages serve as antagonists for Dan to fight. This is subverted when it turns out that they are trying to save a dragon, and later the oppressed peasants, but double subverted as even after he teams up with them, they prove to be violent bastards who seem to only want power, repeatedly pilfering riches and killing surrendering goons. The leader kills a Geezer just for standing up to him and becomes the Final Boss. | |

Giant Mook: There are two types: One that dual-wields SMG or Machine Pistols and one that carries a shield and a spikey club/mace. Frosty Plains and Fright Zone arcs introduce a third type, who relies on a flamethrower. | |

Sole Survivor | |
| Dan The Man (Web Animation) / int_aa30e350 | comment |
The video version of Stage 8 changes things up, where the Sole Survivor is one of the Geezers instead of Dan (or Josie). The Resistance Leader detonates the bombs and Dan respawns without his memory, and he leads the Resistance again. Only this time, the Geezers decide to sit the battle out. | |

Wrong Side All Along | |
| Dan The Man (Web Animation) / int_b9bb56bb | comment |
Wrong Side All Along: Dan spends the first few stages fighting a La Résistance group made of red ninjas, and eventually defends the kingdom from a dragon. Turns out the dragon was trying to rescue its child, which was being used to power the kingdom, and the resistance is trying to fight the tyranny and greed of the kingdom’s rulers. It then pulls this again when the resistance turns out to be as brutal as their enemies. | |

Short-Range Shotgun: Thankfully the enemies' shotguns have pretty short range, but this also applies to Barry's shotgun. Averted on Hard Mode, where the shotguns that enemies wield can fire balls or balls of energy that can travel the entire screen. | |

Shrug Take | |
| Dan The Man (Web Animation) / int_c25e18f1 | comment |
Shrug Take: In Stage 8, Dan, Barry, and the custom character do this as their idle animations (one of them, in the case of Barry). Josie instead looks impatiently at the screen before yelling at the players few moment later. | |

Shout-Out | |
| Dan The Man (Web Animation) / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: Quite a lot of them going around. The "Modern Rifle" is obviously an M41A Pulse Rifle. One of the enemies you fight wears a balaclava, a helmet with night vision goggles, and uses a leg-based attack to knock you out. In Stage 5, Dan acquires a shield, spear, and suit of armor. He loses his spear by throwing it at a dragon, and he loses his shield and armor in a blast of dragon fire, leaving him in his underwear. Josie's in-game Idle Animation shows her tapping her feet impatiently while staring at the screen. In Stage 11 where Josie discovers the manual of The Ginger Ninja game in-universe, its cover uses the style of NES games with the control guide section for the game deplicted with Sega Genesis controller. | |

Taking You with Me | |
| Dan The Man (Web Animation) / int_caf89e54 | comment |
At the climax of Stage 8, after almost every established character dies at the hands of the Resistance, including Josie(!), Dan fights the final boss. When the Resistance Leader is defeated, he pulls off a Taking You with Me stunt and detonates the bombs in the castle, killing him and Dan. Dan respawns to the beginning of Stage 8-1-1 and resorts to beating up the Resistance, which the Peasants cheer about. End game and cue feelings of "...that's it?". However, Stage 9 continues on where it left off. | |

Corrupt Corporate Executive | |
| Dan The Man (Web Animation) / int_cbe687ab | comment |
Almost every single one of the executives are greedy jackasses, except for two. When they begin to present some pretty good alternative sources of power to their colleagues, the entire board actually laughs. When they find out about that the idea of using peasants to power the whole kingdom was more dubious, they waste no time in trying to reveal to the people about their discovery. Unfortunately they don't last very long at the hands of the Dark Master. | |

Running Gag: The Resistance's Robots don't last very long. Surprisingly enough, in the actual Stage 8 video, the robot doesn't get destroyed. Dan's inability to do anything the NPCs do because he's a playable character. And usually resorting to using his fists. | |
