History Recap / AsterixAndTheChieftainsDaughter

* HasTwoDaddies: When saying goodbye to Adrenalin, Monolithix and Sidekix actually use the phrase "your dads" in the French version, and in English too. She later calls them the same.

** Brutus, when told by Caesar he won't be getting an adoptive sister (Adrenalin) soon, says he's not much of a one for family, while holding a knife.

''La Fille de Vercingétorix'' [[note]]"The Daughter of Vercingetorix"[[/note]] is the 38th album of ComicBook/{{Asterix}}, released in 2019, and the fourth album made by Jean-Yves Ferri and Didier Conrad since they took over the series.

!! Tropes present in this work:

* ExactEavesdropping: A villainous example, Binjwatchflix is in the right place and time to overhear Adrenalin planning to run off that night.

** While pursuing Binjwatchflix, in the same panel Fulliautomatix throws his hammer and Vitalstatistix throws his shield. [[Film/TheAvengers2012 Remind you of something?]]

[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/la_fille_de_vercingtorix.jpg]]

** One of the pirates (who has never been seen before) is a caricature of singer Creator/CharlesAznavour. He is drunkenly quoting one of Aznavour's songs, though at the same time (at least in the English version) the other pirates are singing a version of "[[Music/CultureClub Karma Chameleon]]".

* AgonyOfTheFeet: The scene of Vercingetorix throwing his weapons on Caesar’s foot when he surrendered is shown again, as well as Caesar getting his foot bandaged up afterwards.

* BoulderBludgeon: Obelix throws a menhir at Fulliautomatix and Unhygienix to break up an argument. It doesn’t work.

* CatchAndReturn: Done by Asterix, [[ArrowCatch with an arrow]] Binjwatchflix shot at him.

** Fulliautomatix, Asterix and Unhygenix getting into a fight over differing parental styles; Fulliautomatix and Asterix being against corporal punishment while Unhygenix sees it as necessary for discipline. Ironically enough, both of them dish it out in spades to both Blinix and Selfpix upon discovering that they were complicit in the plot to smuggle her Adrenalin of the village.

** Several to ''Recap/AsterixAndTheChieftainsShield''. People are still reluctant to mention Vercingetorix and his loss in the battle of Alesia. Also, a flashback once again shows Vercingetorix throwing his weapons on Caesar’s foot when he surrendered.
** Like in ''Recap/AsterixAndTheNormans'', it is mentioned that teenagers actually like Cacofonix’ songs.
* CoolOldGuy: Geriatrix gets his moment to shine this story. He violently attacks Binjwatchflix with his cane when the latter has Adrenalin trapped, and calls him out on his betrayal. It doesn’t last long though as the much younger and bigger Binjwatchflix easily overpowers him, but by then, Adrenalin has already escaped.
* EveryEpisodeEnding: As usual, the story ends with a large feast, while Cacofonix is being tied up. Slightly different than usual; he is being tied up by children, and for once doesn’t seem to mind.

* FieryRedhead: Adrenalin. She’s a {{Tomboy}} who outright states her dislike for girl clothes, and is known to [[TheRunaway run off from her caretakers]], and manages to get Redbeard and his crew to take her with them.
* FunetikAksent: Both Monolithix and Sidekix appear to have a SpeechImpediment, but it's soon revealed to be the dialect or accent of Vercingetorix's Arverni tribe (from modern Auvergne, France) and their warriors all speak like that too. For example, they pronounce “The Romans have been searching for her ever since” as “The Romanj have been shearching for her ever shinshe”. Only Adrenalin doesn't have it because she grew up elsewhere.
** The exaggerated Auvergne accent was there in the original French ever since Goscinny's time, as seen in ''Asterix and the Chieftain's Shield'', but the English translators at the time opted to [[PragmaticAdaptation leave it out since English people wouldn't get the joke,]] [[{{Woolseyism}} and instead added more puns]].

** Brutus, when told by Caesar he won’t be getting an adoptive sister (Adrenalin) soon, says he’s not much of a one for family, while holding a knife.

* TheMutiny: Adrenalin successfully pulls one off against Redbeard when she reveals her plans to go to Thule, something the other pirates instantly agree with. She doesn’t get to enjoy it for long since a Roman ship immediately shows up.

* RememberTheNewGuy: Both Fulliautomatix and Unhygienix are revealed to have teenage sons, whom we never saw before.

** People either [[HeWhoMustNotBeNamed refusing to say Vercingetorix’s name]], or only whisper it.

** Lookout complaining about someone stealing his position whenever a character hides in the crow’s nest.

* ThreateningShark: The last we see of Binjwatchflix is him being stalked by a shark as he swims away.

** One of the pirates (who has never been seen before) is a caricature of singer Charles Aznavour. He is drunkenly quoting one of Aznavour's songs, though at the same time (at least in the English version) the other pirates are singing a version of "[[Music/CultureClub Karma Chameleon]]".

** One of the pirates (who has never been seen before) is a caricature of singer Charles Aznavour (who had died by the time the album came out). He is drunkenly quoting one of Aznavour's songs, though at the same time (at least in the English version) the other pirates are singing a version of "[[Music/CultureClub Karma Chameleon]]".

However, Binjwatchflix has managed to track down Adrenalin and puts the surrounding Roman garrisons on alert. During the chaotic search between the Gauls, the Romans and Binjwatchflix for her, Adrenalin comes across two of the Pirates collecting fresh water and, to Redbeard's consternation, commandeers their ship in order to sail to Thule and live her own life in peace. However, Asterix and Obelix spot the pirate ship sailing away and take up pursuit, along with Selfipix, Blinix and Dogmatix; and additionally, Binjwatchflix has stowed away on the ship. In a rapid sequence of events, the Gauls and Pirates are forced to contend with Adrenalin's stubbornness and a Roman galley attacking them, and amidst the fighting Binjwatchflix grabs the girl and the torc and entrenches himself in the pirate ship's lookout post. Obelix simply rips out the mast, causing the ship to sink and dropping Binjwatchflix and Adrenalin into the water. As he tries to get into the boat the Gauls have come in, Binjwatchflix drops the torc, which sinks to the bottom of the sea. Determined not to be thwarted, Binjwatchflix jumps overboard to swim to shore, but is unknowingly followed by a shark, leaving his fate in doubt.

** Fulliautomatix, Asterix and Unhygenix getting into a fight over differing parental styles; Fulliautomatix and Asterix being against corporal punishment while Unhygenix sees it as necessary for discipline. Ironically enough, both of them dish it out in spades to both Blinix and Selfpix upon discovering that they were complicit in the plot to smuggle her out of the village.
** Peacenix describing his wish that Romans and Gauls can live peacefully together in a unified country alarms Monolithix and Sidekix. It takes Adrenalin to openly denounce their desire for her to start a rebellion and reclaim Gaul in Vercingetorix's name to realize that the young may actually have different views on the world
** Monolithix and Sidekix (and even Asterix and the entire village, to varying degrees) insisting that Adrenalin honour Vercingetorix's memory by mobilizing the Gauls for a rebellion to reclaim their land. Only at the every end of the story do they realize that Adrenalin values the peace that they currently have and has no desire to plunge Gaul into another war

* CoolOldGuy: Geriatrix gets his moment to shine this story. He violently attacks Binjwatchflix with his cane when the latter has Adrenalin trapped, and calls him out on his betrayal. It doesn’t last long though as the much younger and bigger Binjwatchflix easily overpowers him, but by then Adrenalin has already escaped.

* IJustWantToBeNormal: Adrenalin hates the fact that everybody is after her just because she happens to be Vercingetorix' daughter and has his torc.
* IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy: Monolithix and Sidekix invoke a parental variant of this troupe at the story's conclusion where they appear to reconsider their plans for an uprising after seeing how youngsters like Adrenalin and Peacenix value peace over war, conquest and sovereignty.

** People either [[HeWhoMustNotBeNamed refusing to say Vercingetorix’ name]], or only whisper it.

* ThirdTimesTheCharm: For the pirates when it comes to robbing Ekonomikrisis the merchant. They tried to do this in [[Recap/AsterixTheGladiator two]] [[Recap/AsterixAndTheBlackGold previous]] stories, but both of those times Asterix and Obelix where there to defend Ekonomikrisis. This time, the poor guy was not so lucky.

* BriefAccentImmitation: While she doesn't normally have an Arveni accent, Adrenalin mutters "That'sh right, that'sh right" when she walks out on them.

* CallingTheOldManOut: After the adventure at sea, Adrenalin calls out Monolithix and Sidekix for only caring about her Torc, and not her as a person.

* LivingMacGuffin: Adrenalin. The whole plot resolves around Caesar wanting to capture her, and the heroes having to defend her. She comes with a more regular MacGuffin: her Torc.

** Selfipix (Or Selfix in french) to selfies.

* HistoricalInJoke: Brutus, when told by Caesar he won’t be getting an adoptive sister (Adrenalin) soon, says he’s not much of a one for family, while holding a knife.

However, Binjwatchflix has managed to track down Adrenalin and puts the surrounding Roman garrisons on alert. During the chaotic search between the Gauls, the Romans and Binjwatchflix for her, Adrenalin comes across two of the Pirates collecting fresh water and, to Redbeard's consternation, commandeers their ship in order to sail to Thule and live her own life in peace. However, Asterix and Obelix spot the pirate ship sailing away and take up pursuit, along with Selfipix, Blinix and Dogmatix; and additionally, Binjwatchflix has stowed away on the ship. In a rapid sequence of events, the Gauls and Pirates are forced to contend with Adrenalin's stubborness and a Roman galley attacking them, and amidst the fighting Binjwatchflix grabs the girl and the torc and entrenches himself in the pirate ship's lookout post. Obelix simply rips out the mast, causing the ship to sink and dropping Binjwatchflix and Adrenalin into the water. As he tries to get into the boat the Gauls have come in, Binjwatchflix drops the torc, which sinks to the bottom of the sea. Determined not to be thwarted, Binjwatchflix jumps overboard to swim to shore, but is unknowingly followed by a shark, leaving his fate in doubt.

Once safely back in the village, Adrenalin openly defies Monolithix and Sidekix, wishing to be no part of their rebellion. However, the Averni soon find that one of their warriors is wearing Vercingetorix's ceremonial helmet and so make him the new figurehead of their resistance. After giving her blessing to Asterix's village as Vercingetorix's true successors, Adrenalin departs for Thule, but eventually ends up at another, multi-ethnically inhabited island. The Gauls and their Averni guests end the story with their traditional feast.

* TheMole: Binjwatchflix during the battle of Alesia. He informed Caesar that Vercingetorix had a daughter whom he send away to safety.
* TheMutiny: Adrenalin successfully pulls one of against Redbeard when she reveals her plans to go to Thule, something the other pirates instantly agree with. She doesn’t get to enjoy it for long since a Roman ship immediately shows up.

* FunetikAksent: Both Monolithix and Sidekix appear to have a SpeechImpediment, but it's soon revealed to be the dialect or accent of Vercingetorix's Arverni tribe (from modern Auvergne, France) since their warriors all speak like that too. For example, they pronounce “The Romans have been searching for her ever since” as “The Romanj have been shearching for her ever shinshe”. Only Adrenalin doesn't have it because she grew up elsewhere.

One night, the Gaulish village is visited by two Averni chieftains, Monolithix and Sidekix, who were lieutenants to Vercingetorix up to the fateful battle of Alesia and thus good acquaintances of Vitalstatistix. To everyone's surprise, they have a young girl in their company who is revealed to be Adrenalin, Vercingetorix's daughter. She and her companions were sent away just before the final battle in order to carry on the fight against the Romans, with Vercingetorix's torc to identify her as his successor as a symbol of resistance. However, Julius Caesar has learned of her existence and wishes to have her taken captive and re-educated to the Roman ways; as a result, the Romans are hunting her, led by a Gaulish traitor named Binjwatchflix, a former scout for Vercingetorix who felt unappreciated by his leader and now serves the Romans. Consequently, the two chieftains took Adrenalin to the village, the only place avoided by the Romans, to keep her safe until they can relocate her to Britain, where the Romans will not expect to find her.

* FunetikAksent: Both Monolithix and Sidekix appear to have a SpeechImpediment, but it's soon revealed to be the dialect or accent of Vercingetorix's Arverni tribe (from modern Auvergne, France) since their warriors all speak like that too. For example, they pronounce “The Romans have been searching for her ever since” as “The Romanj have been shearching for her ever shinshe”. Only Adrenaline doesn't have it because she was educated in Lutetia (Paris).

* HasTwoDaddies: When saying goodbye to Adrenalin, Monolithix and Sidekix actually use the phrase "your dads" in the French version.

* SpeechImpediment: Both Monolithix and Sidekix have an accent. For example, they pronounce “The Romans have been searching for her ever since” as “The Romanj have been shearching for her ever shinshe”.

* CallingTheOldManOut: After the adventure at sea, Adrenalin calls out Monolithix and Sidekix for only caring about her Troc, and not her as a person.

** Selfipix to selfies.

** Like in Recap/AsterixAndTheNormans, it is revealed that teenagers actually like Cacofonix’ songs.

* SpeechImpediment: Both Monolithix and Sidekix have an accent. For example, they pronounce “The Romans have been searching for her ever since” as “The Romanj have been shearching for her ever shinshe”.
