History Manga / MissKuroitsuFromTheMonsterDevelopmentDepartment

* FantasticRacism: While she does work for the villainous Agastia, the fact Magia's Rose and Zwart attack and try to kill Hydra just because she's exposing her hydra heads, even though she's doing nothing but enjoying a drink at the time, provides subtle implications that there might be some VanHelsingHateCrimes problems in place for the "heroes", especially as they proceed to try and shoot her in the back when she runs away. Episode 7 clarifies on that detail, with Kuroitsu noting that monsters have no rights as people and are treated as pests at best, so there would be no legal repercussions for doing anything bad, such as torture, enslavement, or outright murder, towards a monster.

* CatGirl: Elbucky from evil organization Black Lore is a monster designed like [[LittleBitBeastly a human girl with various cat-like traits]], including cat ears, a tail, a CuteLittleFang, an occasional CatSmile, an overall playfully catty personality, and a "nya" VerbalTic.

* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: When the MDD considers the possibility that Blader may eventually have a giant robot in his arsenal, Wolf Bete suggests creating a {{Kaiju}} in preparation for this, only for Kuroitsu to point out that with the amount of material needed to make one along with costs in construction and maintenance, it could cost over one billion yen (roughly $8.7 million in US currency) to make one.

* MonsterMash: Almost every non-human member of Agastia is based on some pre-existing monster or other inhuman entity in mythology, folklore, or literature:
** Wolf Bete had his powers based on the Beast of Gevaudan, which is represented as being a WolfMan.
** Cannon Thunderbird is directly based on, well, the {{Thunderbird}}.
** Hydra is based on [[Myth/ClassicalMythology the hydra]] with her MultipleHeadCase and (currently unimplemented) PoisonousPerson abilities.
** Camula the Immortal is based on ''Literature/{{Carmilla}}'' the [[OurVampiresAreDifferent vampire]].
** Kraken is based on [[Myth/NauticalFolklore the kraken]] as a [[TentacledTerror mass of tentacles that lives underwater]].
** Warrior Jaguar is based on [[Myth/AztecMythology Jaguar Warriors]] represented as a jaguar-based CatFolk.
** Arachne is based on [[Myth/ClassicalMythology Arachne]] with her SpiderPeople motif and AllWebbedUp powers.
** Skylla is based on [[Myth/ClassicalMythology Scylla]] with her being able to summon four black dog-headed tentacles.
** Amanoiwato is based on [[Myth/JapaneseMythology the Ama-no-Iwato]], a cave Amaterasu hid herself in, depriving the land of light, to have solitude away from her aggressive brother Susano'o. In this case, given the basis is a cave and not a living being, it's represented by a RockMonster obsessed with maintaining his secure post, referencing both the cave and Amaterasu while in it.
** Eldridge is based on [[StockUnsolvedMysteries the Philadelphia Experiment]], a Conspiracy Theory about an experiment conducted by the US Navy involving invisibility and teleportation, referenced here through his IntangibleMan powers when activating his "Philadelphia Plan".
** Fenrir the WolfMan is based on [[Myth/NorseMythology Fenrir the wolf]].
** Fafnir the dragon is based on [[Myth/NorseMythology Fafnir]], the greedy dwarf who through KarmicTransformation became a dragon, referenced here through how resource-intensive he is to be active for very long.
** Mummy is based on, well, the {{Mummy}}.
** Bandersnatch is based on the creature named but scantly mentioned by Creator/LewisCarroll, depicted here as a dog-like creature that, like Lewis described, is ferocious when attacking, moves incredibly fast, possesses a long neck, and has a powerful bite.

** The [[BadGuyBar bar for retired heroes and villains]] that Kuroitsu visits in Episode 9 is filled with this. For starters, the place is run by a MagicalGirl whose super form resembles [[Anime/MagicalPrincessMinkyMomo Minky Momo]] and transformation chant is based on ''Anime/CreamyMamiTheMagicAngel''. As for the various patrons, there's [[Anime/EighthMan an android that regularly has nuclear coolant that's disguised as a lollipop]], a policeman [[{{Series/Ultraman}} who accidentally killed someone on their first day]], a scientist whose career went downhill when [[Franchise/KamenRider a grasshopper-based creation escaped before its mind could be altered]], and [[Creator/MachikoSoga a lady whose monsters were always getting beaten up]] by [[Franchise/SuperSentai a team of five heroes and their giant robot]].

''Miss Kuroitsu from the Monster Development Department'', or ''Kaijin Kaihatsubu no Kuroitsu-san'' is a {{Parody}} manga of {{Tokusatsu}}, presenting a world where evil societies operate like any other Japanese business, focusing on the struggles and labor of the Monster Development Department of Agastia. It began as a one-shot in April 2019 before becoming serialized in October 2019 on Flex Comix's ''Comic Meteor'' website, receiving an anime adaptation in the winter of 2022 by up-and-coming studio Quad.

* DragonInChief: While Akashic is on paper the leader of Agastia due to [[AsskickingLeadsToLeadership being the absolute strongest within it]], in practice she's a flighty airhead who often causes problems using her immense strength, so the one who really leads everybody is second-in-command Megistus, with him even reining in Agastia herself and dealing with any trouble resulting from her whimsical decisions.

** Eldridge is based on [[StockUnsolvedMysteries the Philadelphia Experiment]], a ConspiracyTheory about an experiment conducted by the US Navy involving invisibility and teleportation, referenced here through his IntangibleMan powers when activating his "Philadelphia Plan".

** Lady Akashic herself is a flighty airhead who often causes trouble due to her whims, to the point that her subordinates leave her out of their gatherings to avoid dealing with her.

* LongTitle: Each episode title, with the previews trying to say the title, only to be cut off midway. Eventually she gives up, trying to shorten it before giving up altogether.

* BadGuyBar: Izakaya Azito is a back-alley bar where various retired heroes and villains hang out and try to get over the past with help from the owner, who has SeenItAll and knows just what all of them need, alongside being a MagicalGirl skilled enough with a {{whip|ItGood}} to put any troublemakers, hero and villain alike, back in line.

Has a [[Characters/MissKuroitsuFromTheMonsterDevelopmentDepartment Character page]] underdevelopment.

* AssassinOutclassin: When an assassination-themed hero group called the Assassination Rangers attacks the exective monsters during the HotSpringsEpisode, they're all ''casually'' swatted down. In fact, the monster in charge of the assassination and espionage department is so insulted by their lack of skill that [[DoWrongRight proceeds to deliver a lecture on how to be better assassins and tells them to take notes!]]

* IdolSinger: Camula and Mummy are both heavily obsessed with idols, with Mummy herself striving to become one herself one day. It took Mummy a lot of struggle and determination, though, as she was initially mute before receiving some of Camula's cells that could've killed her if she didn't have enough willpower, but by keeping her heart trained on her dream, she was able to successfully pull off a debut to a small but enthusiastic audience, setting the stage for her potentially becoming a genuine idol.

* WhichRestroomDilemma: Having a female body and a male mind, Wolf Bete finds himself dealing with this issue before Kuroitsu informs him that he can use either bathroom.

* UnwillingRoboticisation: Part of Zet Arc's methods for securing control over both the world and other evil organizations is by forcibly mechanizing captured monsters and making them fight against their will. While Kuroitsu admits she's not one talk about condoning it due to being an evil ([[AffablyEvil for]] certain [[PunchClockVillain values]]) MadScientist herself, she still [[EvenEvilHasStandards finds it a deplorable method for world conquering]].

* OffscreenVillainDarkMatter: Being a {{Sentai}} parody from the [[VillainProtagonist villain's perspective]], it naturally completely averts this, with the limited resources for Agastia barely being kept funded through hundreds of cover companies, which also results in the MDD having to work around a limited budget when creating monsters. In return, they wonder [[WhereDoesHeGetAllThoseWonderfulToys where the heroes get their resources]], especially when so many of them have giant robots despite not seeming rich enough to afford even one.

* ParentalIncest: Wolf Bete exhibits a one sided crush on Kuroitsu, who is his creator and hence arguably his mother.

** The [[BadGuyBar bar for retired heroes and villains]] that Kuroitsu visits in Episode 9 is filled with this. For starters, the place is run by a MagicalGirl whose super form resembles [[Anime/MagicalPrincessMinkyMomo Minky Momo]] and transformation chant is based on ''Anime/MagicalAngelCreamyMami''. As for the various patrons, there's [[Anime/EighthMan an android that regularly has nuclear coolant that's disguised as a lollipop]], a policeman [[{{Series/Ultraman}} who accidentally killed someone on their first day]], a scientist whose career went downhill when [[Franchise/KamenRider a grasshopper-based creation escaped before its mind could be altered]], and [[Creator/MachikoSoga a lady whose monsters were always getting beaten up]] by [[Franchise/SuperSentai a team of five heroes and their giant robot]].
