Lolicon and shotacon have been disambiguated. Links with too little context are being removed - "paedo" is not always a trope, examples where the tropeworthiness is unclear are being removed. Also, please do not use "loli" as a synonym for little girl; see Lolicon And Shotacon as to why not

Redheaded Hero is being cut per the Appearance tropes cleanup thread.


The series focuses on Toppa Bashin, a 12-year-old [[IdiotHero idiot]] [[RedHeadedHero red-headed hero]] in love with Battle Spirits. Of course, his favorite attribute is red. He goes through daily school life and battles his friendly rivals J, Striker and Suiren. It's a slice of life series, with very little ongoing plot, but things do get more serious at about the half way point.
