History Webcomic / Kubera

Official translations have begun [[http://www.webtoons.com/episodeList?titleNo=83 here]], with updates on Monday.

* InnocentFlowerGirl: Shakuntala. Gentle personality, [[ActualPacifist dissuades conflicts]], has a [[IllGirl weak constitution]], almost always seen sitting in a field full of flowers, gifts hand-made flower wreaths... the whole package.

* RottenReincarnation: The [[spoiler: Ancient Human Race]] '''wasn't''' originally this, they had a great system of reincarnation in which they spent their formative years building up their present life's character and then they reached adulthood their had a coming of age ceremony to awaken their past lives memories and their knowledge that was supposed to help them embrace and learn from the past without clinging to it, but then, the Suras started to attack and massacre their settlements and these humans died with unresolved grudges that carried over to their next life, and became obsessed with taking revenge of the whole sura race for their relentless killing, rather than helping them , the gods took care of these souls by grinding them down to nurture the universe and getting rid of those grudges, but eventually the problem became too big for it to work, and the increasingly resentful humans were developing weaponry to become equals to them, it was put and end when [[spoiler: the gods and suras allying to annhilate them and start anew with the modern human race.]]

* InherentInTheSystem: [[spoiler:The precursor humans were tolerant, equal, peaceful, and generally all-round lovable]]. [[CosmicHorrorStory They get slaughtered by rampaging Sura (acting on the orders of a higher being) over a period of centuries]], [[TookALevelInJerkass slowly embittering them and forcing them to bear fangs]] [[KillEmAll until they're finally exterminated by the overpowered gods]]. [[HumansAreBastards Their 'successors' are shallow, selfish, manipulative, occasionally-monstrous jerkasses]] [[HadToBeSharp who have managed to survive and outwit the wrath of an endless slew of immortal, overpowered gods]].

* LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters: There are ''10'' "main" characters, 30+ major supporting characters, then who knows how many minor and [[PosthumousCharacter deceased]] ones. But seriously, there is a large [[CastOfSnowflakes easily-identifiable]] cast that all have unique relationships and roles within the plot.

* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Many of the human characters feature hair colors from across the rainbow. This is {{Justified|Trope}} as even “pureblood” humans have distant sura ancestry.

* VillainousEthicsDecay: Well, from a perspective. In season three, the main opposing force is the Taraka clan instead of Sagara. While their ''approach'' is similar, the key difference lies in the motives. Sagara & Co., as well as most other suras, have lines that even they won't cross, such as Maruna refusing to harm Elwin because she's a Yaksha half. They also have motivations that could be construed as sympathetic - [[SeeksAnothersResurrection Sagara]] is trying to bring [[TheLostLenore Ananta]] back, the Ananta Rakshasas are helping [[MyMasterRightOrWrong because they are loyal to her]] [[TheDutifulSon (and implied to be her children)]], Hura is [[MyCountryRightOrWrong honoring his clan's alliance]] and Maruna is [[PragmaticVillainy trying to help his own]] by finding [[BigBrotherInstinct his long lost sister]]. Even God Kubera and Gandharva can be put under the same category: the former is implied to be [[TheAtoner trying to make up for his past mistakes]], and the latter is desperately looking [[AdultFear for his missing daughter]]. The Taraka clan, on the other hand, are mindless beasts that attack anyone regardless of their status as sura or human, have no discernible motivation and even go as far as use other sura's bodies as their hosts. So yes, if you consider that the antagonists went from weird morals to no morals, you have this.

* JerkassGods: The gods are obsessed with maximizing the lifespan of the universe, even when their actions misery and suffering that eventually runs counter to their goals. Case in point: [[spoiler:''All of humanity''. Sure, [[HumansAreBastards humans are undoubtedly bastards]], but that's because the gods ''intentionally modified their genes'' so they would all be inherently sociopathic. To hammer in how thoroughly this is the gods' fault, they ordered the total genocide of a PerfectPeacePeople version of humanity, because they weren't killing each other fast enough to fulfill a demand for reincarnation quotas. So yeah, humans do screw everything up, because the gods wanted them to be screw-ups!]]

* {{Yandere}}: Yuta towards Leez. [[spoiler: It's unclear how much of it is from his feelings for her and how much is due to his HorrorHunger.]]
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Asha has blue hair, Leez has green. The rest of the rainbow is on the heads of the rest of humanity.

** The arc ''Enemy'' focuses on one of these; after going back and forth in time for a while, Ran and Maruna end up returning to a timeline where they and Leez never returned earlier, leading to DisasterDominos that kill half the population of Willarv, including most of the main cast.

* BadFuture: Every vision of Leez' future so far has implied this, showing her alone in a vast wasteland fighting endless hordes of Sura; one of the earliest Foresights we get of her future is her telling someone that she would have been happier if she died as a child.

* DesignatedVillain: [[spoiler:''All of humanity''. Sure, [[HumansAreBastards humans are undoubtedly bastards]], [[JerkassGods but that's because the gods]] ''intentionally modified their genes'' so they would all be ''mildly sociopathic'' on average. To hammer in how thoroughly this is the gods' fault, they ordered the total genocide of a PerfectPeacePeople version of humanity that wasn't being villainous enough for their caste in the universe. So yeah, humans do screw everything up, because the gods screwed them up before they were even born!]]

* ApocalypseHow: Class X (Planetary Annihilation) has occurred multiple times in the past. Several hundred years ago, when humans cut ties with the sura and swore allegiance to the gods, the sura destroyed planets in retaliation. More recently, the planet Carte was destroyed; how and why this occurred has yet to be revealed.

* CosmicChessGame: It is heavily implied that quite a few major players have manipulated both people and events across the plot for their own ends.

* FloatingContinent: The city of Aeroplateau.

* BlindIdiotTranslation: The official translation is quite infamous for this, to the point that a number of people prefer to read scanlations due to this, when season 3 rolled around there was an improvement but then after a hiatus not only the quality went back to the one from first and second seasons it's actually gotten ''worse'', among some mistakes but not limited to:

** Some character's names are misspelled ''also'' from chapter to chapter, particularly egregious considering most spellings are confirmed in the author's blog.

* ForgoneConclusion: The time-travel arc when Maruna and Ran are sent back in time; the reader already knows all the important points about how this ends, since we both already got a summary of the relevant history and saw Maruna and Ran when they came back; we know from the beginning that [[spoiler:Maruna advances to 5th stage, the first humans are annihilated by an alliance of the gods and Suras, and that only Brilith and her child survive.]]

** [[spoiler: Claude's Hoti Yama spell reveals that Leez is going to die rather young, sometime in her early to mid twenties.]]

* WhamShot: The ending of Season 3, Episode 155. Claude has just revealed that in addition to seeing people's time of death, he can see their true name; his wording implies that he's realized that Leez' true name is Kubera. Then, at the very end of the episode, we see Leez from his perspective, revealing that her true name is [[spoiler:Kubera Leez ''Ananta'', meaning that in addition to Kubera's name, she bears the name of the deceased Ananta, the most powerful being in the universe.]]
