History Manga / UbelBlatt

!!Provides examples of:

* ChasteHero: Heavily averted, Koinzell is a straight up P.I.M.P.

* {{UST}}: Between Koinzel ad Ato. Also, Elsarea feels something for him strong enough to make her act {{Tsundere}}.

* AntiHero: Koinzel, although he still has his high standards about honorable soldiers and knights, though.
** On the SlidingScaleOfAntiHeroes, he is a Type III or borderline Type IV at worst. He would kill any of the [[spoiler:Seven Heroes]] and their supporters in a heartbeat, despite acknowledging that their deaths would only invite chaos. Still the number of generally heroic deeds he carries out outweighs his more "villainous" traits - he is not above [[PetTheDog helping random commoners out]] and even intends to become TheAtoner for all his actions once he's through with his vengeance.

* AntiHero: Koinzel. [[spoiler:He still had his high standards about soldiers and knights, though.]]

* {{Bishonen}}

** Played with even. [[spoiler:Koinzell refuses to sell his body to Altea for transit, but then she mentions that the Seven Heroes will be at the location. He becomes much more willing then.]]

* DirtyOldMan: [[spoiler:'''The Emperor''', of all people!]]

* EnemyCivilWar: [[spoiler:A civil war later begins between Lebelont and the newly resurrected Glenn.]]
* EnemyMine: With [[spoiler:Lebelont starting a new war, Elseria's knights, Rozen and the Order of the Seven Lances, Dragon Chief Ischüdien and Koinzel all want to stop Lebelont before things get worse. They haven't really joined forces yet, though.]]

** Later [[spoiler:Dragon Chief Ischüdien, who is against Lebelont's war-mongering ways after Glenn's death when Lebelont should be ''serving'' the Empire, not conquering it.]]

* GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff: Along with ''{{Berserk}}'' and ''{{Claymore}}'', ''Manga/UbelBlatt'' is among the most popular {{Seinen}} in France, and even won a prize. Seems they ''really'' like their DarkFantasy there.

* ItGotWorse: [[spoiler:With Glenn dead, the power hungry Lebelont takes action by taking over Glenn's former lands and killing dissidents who gets in his way to become the next Emperor. What's worse? He plans to rekindle the war with Wischtech to achieve more fame than Glenn. Even a veteran of the war Calls him out of it.]]

* FateWorseThanDeath: The best way to distinguish between [[{{Jerkass}} bad villains]] and [[CompleteMonster worse villains]] is if they inflict this on their victims.

* JerkAss: Many of the villains. [[CompleteMonster The rest are worse.]]

* GratuitousGerman: *Cough* Bad Leaf *Cough*. Leaf as in a blade of grass, though in German "Blatt" never means "blade". The intended translation is probably "evil blade", or "bad blade".

* GratuitousGerman: *Cough* Bad Leaf *Cough* Leaf as in a blade of grass, though in German it does not have that meaning.

* SevenDeadlySins: [[spoiler:The seven heroes all seem to represent one. Schtemwölech is Lust (thirst for power and his use of women as [[HumanRessources youth serum]] and [[AndIMustScream combat thralls]]), Barestar is Greed (merchant background and constant grasping for more and bigger weapons), Glenn is Envy (his actions were motivated by his jealousy towards Ascheritt), Lebellont is Pride (everything he does is motivated by his arrogance and megalomaniacal superiority complex), Nirgenfeld is Sloth (he seems too afraid to do anything except sheepishly following more proactive and charismatic characters' lead), Güllengurv is Gluttony (he's a lot like Nirgenfeld, plus a FatBastard), Ischüdien is Wrath (although we haven't seen his modern self being anything but calm and composed so far, he's also considered Dragon Chief, creatures often associated with Wrath).]]

* BathingBeauty: Elsarea, to ridiculous levels.

* DudeLooksLikeALady: Koinzel could pass for a girl with his scar covered and wearing girl clothes. Used effectively to disguise himself in cities. [[spoiler:He didn't like this at first, though.]]
* EnemyMine: With [[spoiler:Lebelont starting a new war, Elseria's knights, Rozen and the Order of the Seven Lances, Dragon Chief Ischüdien and Koinzel all want to stop Lebelont before things get worse. They haven't really joined forces yet, though.]]

* {{Expy}} - The Szaalenden empire is obviously based on [[{{Warhammer}} The Empire from Warhammer]] especially how their armies mix men with swords, dragons and flying aircraft and how 8 Elector nobles elect the new Emperor.

* {{Fanservice}}: ''Almost every'' girl involved with Koinzell. [[MsFanservice Even]] [[{{TokenMiniMoe}} Peepi]], [[RunningGag much to her dismay]].

* GratuitousGerman: *Cough* Bad Leaf *Cough* Leaf as in a blade of grass, though in German it does not have that meaning.

** Also, fairy blood can be passed even from half fairy to another person, thus making the receiver's hair white in the process. [[spoiler:Ato is one of those receivers]].

* {{Lolicon}}: Ato and Peppi. Although Ato is [[{{Pettanko}} probably another case...]]

* GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff: Along with ''{{Berserk}}'' and ''{{Claymore}}'', ''UbelBlatt'' is among the most popular {{Seinen}} in France, and even won a prize. Seems they ''really'' like their DarkFantasy there.

* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: Koinzel. Ato finally grows out of hers, when realizing that Koinzel just did her [[FateWorseThanDeath brother]] [[MercyKill a favor]].

* GratuitousGerman: *Cough* [[spoiler:Bad Leaf]] *Cough*

* {{Fanservice}}: ''Almost every'' girl involved with Koinzell. [[MsFanservice Even]] [[{{Lolicon}} Peepi]], [[RunningGag much to her dismay]].

* {{Fanservice}}: ''Almost every'' girl involved with Koinzell. [[MsFanservice Even]] [[{{Lolicon}} Peepi]], [[RunningGag much to her dismay]]. Koinzell also counts... if [[FetishFuel you're into]] [[{{Shotacon}} that thing.]]

* EldritchAbomination: Wischtech {{Magitek}} is disturbingly good at creating these.

* [[IGotBetter They Got Better]]: [[spoiler:Ato, Geranpen]].

* EstrogenBrigadeBait: Koinzel

* {{Shotacon}}: Koinzel. [[EstrogenBrigadeBait And many girls fall for him.]]

The [[SeriesHiatus series was on hold]] until recently, but new chapters are now being released on a monthly schedule.

* WideEyedIdealist: The heroes at the beginning, also the knights (with their leader, Elsarea Rahnclave) who protect Jullas-Ablas from Barestar, [[spoiler:who eventually get their ideal [[MoraleEventHorizon destroyed unmercifully in their faces]]. The knights got better, though.]]

* IronicEcho: Koinzell claims that [[spoiler Schtemwolech cut apart his right arm during the Seven's betrayal of the Four. Guess which part of Schtemwolech's body Koinzell destroys first...]]
