Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })Shadow Skill is a Manga by Megumu Okada that ran from 1992 – 1996, with an Anime adaption airing first in Japan in 1998 and released in english by ADV Films in 2005. Booth tells the story of the first-ever female Kuruda Sevaar Elle Ragu and her adopted brother Gau Ban and their adventures as they fight in a world of honour, magic, and fearsome enemies.Elle Ragu is a Sevalle, one of the elite warriors of the kingdom of Kuruda. She uses her martial arts language, the Kuruda Annihilation Techniques known as "Shadow Skills", in combat in a manner which is legendary. She is the 59th Sevalle and the only female in living history. Elle, however, drinks like a fish and rarely pays rent. The only thing she seems to be good at is fighting, which she does well enough to somewhat overcome these deficiencies. She is also not the most intellectual sort, a fact frequently lampshaded by other characters.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); })Her adopted brother, Gau Ban, is another fighter using the Kuruda Annihilation Techniques, and seeks to surpass Elle. Also along for the ride are Faurink Maya, called Folli, a Sui Reme talisman user who acts as a sort of watchdog for Elle, providing the brains to her brawn, and Kyou Ryu, a Septia (those who catch demon beasts) who has a crush on Gau.A series of four OVA's made before and telling a different story than main series also exists, and was released in English speaking territories by Manga Entertainment, the first on is own as Shadow Skill: The Origin, and the other three bundled together as Shadow Skill: The Movie. | |

Meaningful Name | |
| Shadow Skill / int_6bda9a30 | comment |
Meaningful Name: Each Sevalle who wins the Annual Royal Fighting Tournament is priviledged to choose their own codename, which will be their title. Scarface chose his name based on his famous scar that Crimson gave him; egomaniac G chose his name, because it was the 7th letter and thus "strongest" letter of Kuruda's alphabet (which is Latin!); and Black Wing aka Diaz, chose his name as it was also the name of his own personal weapon, the boomerang. | |

Fallen Hero: The disgraced 58th Sevalle and Elle's immediate predecessor, G aka Kain Phalanx. A Child Prodigy who was potentially even more powerful than Scarface, he gradually degenerated into an braggart who finally went rogue and tried to short-cut the formal process of royal succession by attempting to assassinate Hawk Eye. | |

Luke, I Am Your Father | |
| Shadow Skill / int_c83a589c | comment |
Luke, I Am Your Father: in the tv series, Hawk Eye is actually Kyo's grand-uncle, being the identical twin-brother of her deceased grandfather. In the manga, it is revealed that Big Bad Shere Kahn is actually the biological father of both Scarface and Gau, making them either full-brothers or half-brothers. | |

Informed Ability: Iba Stol (Hawk Eye) is the king of Kuruda, but the only time we see him in battle he gets winded from one attack from Ren Fuuma. Then again, it was the Ultimate Attack of Ren's style. | |

Upbringing Makes the Hero | |
| Shadow Skill / int_cb0b6076 | comment |
Upbringing Makes the Hero: Subverted. Ironically, Gau's happy life with Elle is what's said to have caused Gau to weaken as a warrior. Played straight in later arcs in the manga, where it's revealed the infant Gau was secretly placed with his foster parents, who were simple farmers, to prevent him from becoming evil like his biological father, Shere Kahn. | |

Terminally Dependent Society | |
| Shadow Skill / int_d8fdf777 | comment |
Terminally Dependent Society: The wealth and prosperity of the Holy Kingdom of Ashliana (composed of the Floating Continent capital city of Juliannes and it's surrounding border city-states of Kuruda, Kishiluna, Felisha, and Likitoa) is due to it's unnaturally-high levels of Souma which is a result of the regular periodic manifestations of Ashliana's patron diety, Lunalis Umbra, Lord of the Moonshadow. However, souma has a finite supply limit, and should it run low and fail to be replenished (as it was in the tv series when Lunalis Umbra was prevented from returning for a prolonged period of time, as he could only visit the earthly plane during the New Moon), widespread intense famine and heat-drought resulted and there was a general decline in the overall physical and magical abilities of Ashliana's superpowered inhabitants. | |

| Shadow Skill / int_e8749dab | comment |
Teach Him Anger: Scarface's strategy for secretly training Gau. Subverted in that it is revealed that Gau was actually more powerful as a child when he was newly-orphaned and full of Unstoppable Rage over the murder of his parents by bandits. Ironically, being with Elle has thoroughly mellowed him out to be too much of a Nice Guy that Low and even Elle calls him out on it. | |

Redemption Equals Death: The former general/leader of Ashliana's rival nation, the massive-sized and massively-impoverished nation of Soulfan (who resents Ashliana's good fortune and blames Ashliana for it's own tragically low level of Souma), Badass Normal Master Leen, after resigning his position to go on secret fact-finding mission, tragically realizes too late that Ashliana is not really at fault at all for Soulfan's tragic predicament and Soulfan is actually merely being used by the Big Bad in his plan to destroy Ashliana. However, he does manage to reveal vital info about the Soulfan invasion of Kuruda to Gau before he succumbs to grevious injuries from Ren Fuuma. | |

Trippy Finale Syndrome | |
| Shadow Skill / int_fa052df3 | comment |
Trippy Finale Syndrome: The last fight of the TV-series is mostly some kind of bizarre/symbolic flashback including giraffes for some reason. It's all very serious Fauxlosophic discussion about violence. Or something. Actually it's all about Gau learning to face his fear of death in order to be able to move forward and beat Ren Fuuma, which he does by being inspired through the example of Elle. Foreshadowed by Darkness and expounded by Ren Fuuma. Basically a beast fights for survival, it needs no other reason and does not fear battle. Its primal instincts are its battle skills, it has no need for fancy combat techniques. Darkness, Kain Phalanx, Scarface, Elle Ragu, Len Fuma, and several others have told Gau he needs to become a beast to survive combat with the opponents he faces. The montage is Gau finally realizing this for himself with the help of The Power of Friendship of the rest of the main cast and becoming a true warrior. | |
