History Film / TetsuoTheIronMan

* GainaxEnding: [[spoiler: Apparently, the protagonist and antagonist merge together to form one organism and God only knows what they plan to do after that.]]
** [[spoiler:DownerEnding: It's fairly clear that the Metal Fetishist and the Salaryman will use their combined power to destroy the world, due to the last lines of the film. Also, for the Salaryman, he seems to have become fully submissive and under the control of the Metal Fetishist (although he may just be pretending to act like that just to avoid more pain), so it's really a depressing ending all around.]]

* LivingWeapon: [[spoiler:Anthony]] in ''The Bullet Man''. [[spoiler:Turns out Dr. Ride (his father) created a [[TitleDrop Tetsuo]] replica of his dying wife. Then, he inseminates it, resulting with Anthony]].

* LivingWeapon: [[spoiler:Anthony]] in ''The Bullet Man''. [[spoiler:Turns out his dying mother was turned into a [[TitleDrop Tetsuo]] {{cyborg}} by Dr. Ride (his father) while she was pregnant to keep her alive]].

* ArmCannon: The second and third movies show that murderous intent seems to manifest this (among other things) if the hate behind it is strong enough. [[spoiler: In reality, people who are capable of this were actually part of an experiment to create humans who could become living weapons]]

* BlackAndGreyMorality: The Salaryman and his girlfriend do not seem to act like good people, considering that their reaction to hitting a wounded man with their car is to dump the corpse ([[NotQuiteDead or not]]) in a ravine and have sex over where they dumped him, most likely with the body facing them, considering the angle we see it from. So that means that the Metal Fetishist should be better, right? [[CompleteMonster W]][[OmnicidalManiac e]][[LaughingMad ll]][[WalkingWasteland ...]]

*** [[spoiler:[[GroinAttack That wasn't his neck she was stabbing...]]]]

** The woman who chases the protagonist on the subway seemed like one as well. In fact, since the antagonist dies, comes back, and infects the protagonist, one could alsmost see this as some crazy zombie flick.

** After the main characters run over him, the protagonist's girlfriend gets aroused. She later gets aroused when she [[spoiler: shoves a knife into the main character's neck in hopes of killing him.]]]]

* FoeYay: Taken to very extreme levels in the end.

* NaughtyTentacles: The protagonist is raped by a woman with a prehensile vacuum hose coming out of her crotch. It's even more disturbing than it sounds.

* ThisIsADrill: The driver's penis transforms into one of these. Then he has sex with his girlfriend.
* WorldOfSymbolism: Some say the movie is about modern humanity's over dependance on machines. Others think it is a metaphor for homosexual awakening. There are probably many more theories out there.
