History Anime / MonColleKnights

%%* CatSmile: Rokuna from time to time.

%%* AlternativeForeignThemeSong: In the English dub

* CallingYourAttacks: variation, they are spells. More advanced magicians like Reda and the Elemental Angels can perform them silently.

%%** Namiko Gokumare

%%* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: Namiko Gokumare

%%** DarkIsEvil: Redda

%%* ElementalEmbodiment: The Water Elemental

%%* FormFittingWardrobe: the majority of female characters.

* GreenAesop: more than once, the heroes are out to save the forest from wanton destruction.

%%* HealingHands: the Wave Angel has this, and possibly Shiru as well.
%%* HeelFaceTurn: Zaha
%%* HellHound: Orthros

* HereWeGoAgain: [[spoiler:In the end Reda and Oroboros are defeated, but all the collected Monmon Items are destroyed. New ones are then scattered once again, leaving the heroes and villains exactly where they started. Though the heroes don't mind.]]

* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: Normally when Monda and Rokuna board their ship to go to Mon World, Rokuna's father does a comical faceplant into the wall before falling dazed into his seat behind them. After Reda kidnaps Rokuna and Mondo and her father swear to rescue her, when they board the ship to begin the rescue mission, Rokuna's father does not do his usual faceplant and dazed fall, instead dropping safely into his seat with arms folded and a stern look on his face. Reda kidnapped his daughter, so now ItsPersonal.

%%* PerpetualFrowner: Zaha

%%* RidiculouslyCuteCritter: Jaane and Punch Punch
%%* RunningGag: both the versions have a few of their own.

* SeaMonster: the Leviathan, the Ogopogo, the Giant Squid and the Water Dragon.

* ShooOutTheClowns: Oddly averted. The Terrible Trio remains almost entirely out of sight of the heroes during all the drama of the finale, being deliberately shooed in the wrong direction. They end up carrying a vital plot coupon to the Big Bad and thereby more or less accidentally start the apocalypse.

%%* SplitScreenReaction: happens rarely.
%%* StockFootage: lots of it.

* TeamSpirit: subverted in the final episodes; TeamSpirit got everyone sucked into a void and the loner saved the day.

%%* TheGoodKing: The Green Wind King
%%* TheImp: Rut/Lucca

* VileVillainSaccharineShow: most of the episodes are cheerful, but when Reda shows up, cartoon physics switch off and the violence gets real.

%%* WordSaladTitle: the full title is six gates far away mon colle knight.

* WorldWreckingWave: the Tyrant Terror Dragon's power causes reality to literary burst apart as it rewinds or pushes forward time in whatever it hits.

* {{Bishonen}}: Count Collection, Reda and a number of other characters. Count Collection indulges in it a lot, being prone to posing and sparkly backgrounds.

* {{Makara}}: Jade Fish Makara is card MC8-034 and its element is water. The card depicts a sea serpent with fins, an elephant trunk, and appendages that follow the outline of elephant ears. The Flavor Text implies but questions if it solely dines on marimo.

''Mon Colle Knights'' is an action-comedy anime that can be considered a parody of various things, itself included. Based on a CollectibleCardGame, the show is gag-driven for the most part, and deals with two "teams" traveling to an AlternateUniverse to gather six magical items that will enable them to connect their world with the Six Gates world. The lead characters, a MadScientist (Ichirobei Hiiragi) who recruited his daughter (Rokuna Hiiragi) and her boyfriend (Mondo Ooya) as the "Mon Colle Knights", compete with Count (Ludwig Presto Von Meinstein) Collection and his lackeys, who try to gather the items to rule the world.

* BreakingTheFourthWall: In the original version, each episode starts with a bit of exposition where the Narrator explains the audience about the world. He is frequently interrupted by the characters who want to take over his job, sometimes they succeed.
