Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })The Adventures of Samurai Cat is the first of a series of six books by Mark E. Rogers, describing the adventures of one Miaowara Tomokato, a samurai in the service of Lord Oda Nobunaga, a key player in Japanese history in the late 1500s. Tomokato is an anthropomorphic cat, skilled in the ways of the samurai, who, following the death of his lord, which occurs in the first 11 pages of the first book, embarks upon an epic journey of revenge and reprisal upon those who banded together to slay his lord.Apparently, Lord Nobunaga traveled a lot in his youth. And torqued a lot of people off. People from oddly familiar settings. For this is parody. His first mission leads him to the Bridge of Catzad-Dum. Then he travels to fabled Outsmouth, where dwells Great K'Chu. Afterward to Pictland, and thence to Asgard. And that's just the first book.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); })Joining Tomokato is his nephew, Miaowara Shiro, a spunky bloodthirsty sidekick lacking in the samurai spirit but filled with bloodlust and a love for More Dakka.Other books in the series are More Adventures of Samurai Cat, Samurai Cat in the Real World, Sword of Samurai Cat, Samurai Cat Goes to the Movies, and series finale Samurai Cat Goes to Hell. Very, very few of these additional story collections take place in feudal Japan.Mostly out of print.Not to be confused with Samurai Pizza Cats. | |

Katana for Miaowara; then again, while he thinks Katanas Are Just Better, he will use other weapons if needed (for example, when fighting Xenomorphs straight out of Alien, guns are clearly the way to go). | |

Anachronism Stew | |
| The Adventures of Samurai Cat / int_259d5879 | comment |
Anachronism Stew: revels in this. One example: discussing how bad the Chicago Cubs are. Problem? This is in Prohibition-era Chicago (the Cubs were serious contenders during this time, winning penants every 3 years), and Miaowara is from 16th-century Japan. Later in the story he ends up meeting thugs armed with GAU-8 Avenger cannon, too. It seems that all you need to travel in time or to other fictional realms is to know the right bus schedules. The Terminationer uses a Temporal Plot Device. | |

No Fourth Wall | |
| The Adventures of Samurai Cat / int_3b4f620a | comment |
No Fourth Wall: The series is this trope. It folds, spindles, mutilates, and slices sashimi out of the Fourth Wall, so much so that the feline characters constantly deride the author for being such a spineless, unimaginative hack. Occasionally, this incurs direct in-story retaliation in the form of bad luck and/or nasty enemies' sudden and inexplicable appearance. | |

You Have Failed Me: The God-Emperor of the Universe has what amounts to an assembly line of Mooks standing on trapdoors being randomly shot, dumped, and replaced while the line is shouted at them. For the Evulz. Satan comes up with an appropriately-twisted, definitely unique variant of this when he's chewing out his high command in the last book. | |

Improbable Infant Survival: Lampshaded up the wazzoo by Shiro the homicidal kitten, who revels in his Baby+Cat Immortality, gleefully rushing into meat-grinder battles in the smug confidence that the author wouldn't dare kill him. Eventually this trope was averted in Samurai Cat Goes To Hell, but only as a plot device to send his uncle to retrieve the bloodthirsty little creep. | |

| The Adventures of Samurai Cat / int_8c96ae78 | comment |
No One Could Survive That!: When Tomokato complains that Ubersaurus Rex couldn't possibly have survived a fall, the SS tyrannosaur replies: "Logic means nothing to a true Nazi!" Ubersaurus Rex has the distinction of being one of the most difficult-to-kill enemies Tomokato has ever faced. He survives the fall of Der Kampfburg and becomes an ally of Josef Stalin — and a werewolf to boot. Yes, a werewolf tyrannosaur. He shows up again in an alternate universe ruled over by an evil Shiro, and which means Tomokato has to go through all the trouble of killing him again. | |

Take That! | |
| The Adventures of Samurai Cat / int_b53077b3 | comment |
Take That!: A few, here and there. He apparently doesn't like the movies Willow or Spaceballs, since the former is dreamed up by a scriptwriter who has had his brain removed. And every book includes a slam against Dick Van Patten and Eight is Enough. | |

| The Adventures of Samurai Cat / int_b53c57d5 | comment |
Epigraph: Each chapter is prefaced by a relevant snippet from Cat Out of Hell: A Biography of Miaowara Tomokato, by William Shirer and A.J.P. Godzilla. And, in the first two books, a parodical Fantasy World Map. | |

Idiosyncratic Wipes | |
| The Adventures of Samurai Cat / int_bdc0a18e | comment |
Idiosyncratic Wipes: In the Seven Samurai parody, the characters employ a Kurosawa-esque wipe to end a scene. Which is to say, everybody shouts "WIPE!" and voila, the scene changes... | |

Samurai: of course. Miaowara and his brother were actual samurai under Oda Nobunaga; his brother retired with an injury, while Miaowara went ronin and spent the entire series avenging him. | |

Playing Both Sides | |
| The Adventures of Samurai Cat / int_c2d5b652 | comment |
Playing Both Sides: In Prohibition-era Chicago, Tomokato decides to do the classic bit with the Capone and Moran gangs as "a refreshing break from (his) usual style." At the end, once most of the dust has settled, Sanjuro and the Man With No Name show up to score his efforts. | |

Luke, I Am Your Father: Darth Shatner tries this on Tomokato, only to find his claim reversed: "How can that be, when I'm your father?" It catches him off guard long enough for the cat to finish him. | |

Paper Master | |
| The Adventures of Samurai Cat / int_c9e64c09 | comment |
Paper Master: "Origami Ito" (a reference to Lone Wolf and Cub) is able to create anything out of paper, including weapons, soldiers, even paper tanks. The last one does him in, though, since he took too long folding the men to crew it and gets shot. | |

Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu? | |
| The Adventures of Samurai Cat / int_cc4d190a | comment |
Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?: Why, yes, he did. Tomokato has taken on not one, but two Cthulhu analogues, sliced Thor's hammer in half, single handedly prevented Ragnarok, and ends the series by killing Satan. | |

Screw Destiny: Tomokato almost single-handedly (with one assist from Shiro) wins Ragnarok for the dead-drunk Aesir, foiling supposedly unbreakable prophecy. | |

| The Adventures of Samurai Cat / int_e50818aa | comment |
Normally, I Would Be Dead Now: In Samurai Cat Goes to the Movies, Tomokato ends up shot nearly to pieces by his enemies. The bullets are said to pass through the several places in his heart and brain where a bullet could pass through harmlessly. He and Shiro are 'millimetres more accurate' in their return fire. | |

Drink Order | |
| The Adventures of Samurai Cat / int_f122153b | comment |
Drink Order: In the Conan the Barbarian parody in the first book, Tomokato enters a tavern and orders a saucer of milk. This leads to some of the tavern's tougher patrons thinking the cat is an easy target for a bit of harassment. Of course, this ends very badly for them. | |

Weapon of Choice | |
| The Adventures of Samurai Cat / int_f6ec1b9 | comment |
Weapon of Choice: Katana for Miaowara; then again, while he thinks Katanas Are Just Better, he will use other weapons if needed (for example, when fighting Xenomorphs straight out of Alien, guns are clearly the way to go). Guns for Shiro. He knows his guns very, very well. He does take up a sword once or twice, though. | |
