History YMMV / Coppelion

* MagnificentBastard: In the radioactive wasteland of Tokyo and its surroundings, [[TheHeroine Ibara Naruse]] faced some truly brilliant adversaries:

* SpiritualAdaptation: This is essentially an anime of {{VideoGame/STALKER}} set in Japan instead of Ukraine.

** [[BigBad Doctor Coppelius]], initially named [[MadScientist Matasaburo Itami]], was called to create the [[ArtificialHuman Coppelion]] after the nuclear outbreak that destroyed Tokyo. Using the alias Doctor Coppelius, he created Haruto Kurosawa by cloning himself and tried to revive his deceased daughter by cloning her. Exiled by the Three Professors, Coppelius kept himself hidden and managed to contact with some flawed Coppelion in Tokyo, promising them to fix their flaws if they help him. Stealing Aether that allows him to survive in radioactive areas and improving it before escaping to Tokyo to reunite with his allies, Coppelius captures the Ultimate Coppelion and analyzes her DNA to bargain it. Eventually captured for his creations and put in a jail, he writes a formula to turn Coppelion into regular humans to save them from a genetic flaw before escaping. Finding a clone of his own daughter as a member of the Lost Retrieval Unit, Coppelius liberates them to kill the Professors. Rediscovering his faith in humanity, Coppelius tries to stop his own apocalyptic plan, and as he dies, Coppelius gives his last Aether to Haruto to save Ibara. An eccentric old man proud of his creations, Coppelius dies as he lived, [[GoOutWithASmile with a silly smile.]]

* CompleteMonster: The unnamed [[WouldHurtAChild Three Professors]] are a trio of sadistic {{mad scientist}}s controlling the [[ArtificialHuman Coppelion]] program. Having forced Dr. Coppelius into exile, the Professors use the infant Coppelions for [[PlayingWithSyringes torturous experiments]]--including the Ozu Sisters, resulting in their violent behavior--while getting rid of the flawed ones by killing them. Intending to capture the ultimate Coppelion, Aoi Fukasaku, and use her to create more, the Professors kidnap Shion Ozu to torture her and use her as a hostage alongside the remaining survivors of Tokyo. When Aoi gives herself to save them, the Professors attack and kidnap her while keeping Shion. After they escape, the Professors send the Lost Retrieval Unit to capture them without care for the survivors, while constantly threatening to kill the Retrival Unit if they dare to rebel.

Having forced the Dr. Coppelion into exile, the Profesors uses the infant Coppelions for [[PlayingWithSyringes torturous experiments]]--including the Ozu Sisters, being the real cause behind their violent behavior--while getting rid of the flawed ones by killing them.

After they escape from their ship, the Profesors send the Lost Retrieval Unit to capture them without care for the survivors while constantly threatening to kill the Retrival Unit if they dare to rebel. Killed for a freed Retrieval Unit, even Kanon Ozu herself is surprised at realizing that behind their masks, they were just [[HumansAreTheRealMonsters normal old humans]].

* TooSoon: Due to the 2011 Fukushima Nuclear Disaster, the anime adaptation was put on hold before being revived in 2013.
** Even with 2 years passing the adaption seems to avoid using words like "nuclear" instead just referring to an "incident"
* TheWoobie: The Coppelion. All their life they have been training for this one mission, knowing little else. They know that without the situation in the Old Capital, they don't have anything to live for.
** IronWoobie: Ibara, who is a Coppelion SuperSoldier.
** JerkassWoobie: The Coppelion antagonists shown so far may oppose Ibara and want to blow things up, but do have their tragic reasons for doing so and aren't really evil.
