2 | -> ''"What can a high school student like me do in a crazy battle between crazy monsters?"'' |
3 | -->-- '''Jyugon''' |
4 | |
5 | A Japanese {{gorn}}tastic romantic horror comedy from the year 2009, directed by Creator/YoshihiroNishimura and Naoyuki Tomomatsu. |
6 | |
7 | It follows the the OrdinaryHighSchoolStudent Jyugon, who finds himself caught in the middle of a LoveTriangle between the vampire Monami and (after the halfway-point) Frankensteinian Keiko. |
8 | |
9 | !!In this crossfire of love we find: |
10 | |
11 | * {{Alucard}}: Monami ''Arukado'' (Alucard). |
12 | * AssholeVictim: The first person we see Monami eat is a creep trying to pick up underage girls. The second is a peeping-tom. That these are her only on-screen human victims keeps her from crossing the Moral Event Horizon. |
13 | * BattleButler: Igor, Monami's partner willing to fight for her when the going gets rough. |
14 | * BigBad: Furano is the closet thing to one, being the one responsible for several murders throughout the story, and is the creator of the titular Frankenstein Girl. |
15 | * {{Blackface}}: The ganguro clique, who are comprised of Asian women pretending to be African. Their leader, Afro Rika, is revealed to cherish African culture, seeing them as the dominant race. |
16 | * BloodyMurder: Vampire blood is capable of independent movement, and its owner can shape it into anything from blades to bullets to ''wheels''. |
17 | * TheCameo: Like the director's [[Film/TokyoGorePolice previous flick]], director Creator/TakashiShimizu appears as the Chinese teacher, who at one point, rambles on about the ''Film/{{Juon}}'' series. |
18 | * CameraAbuse: The screen gets covered in blood plenty of times. |
19 | * CoversAlwaysLie: Some DVD covers make the movie seem [[SexyPackaging more sexier]] than it actually is. |
20 | * CrucifiedHeroShot: Abducted Jyugon is tied to a cross when Monami comes to his rescue. |
21 | * CrustyCaretaker: Igor is portraying one. |
22 | * DirtyOldMan: Mr. Uchiyama, who goes around taking photos of high school girls. This naturally, gets her killed by Monami when he tries to take candid photos of her. |
23 | * TheDragon: Midori is Furano's personal assistant. |
24 | * DualWielding: Used by both eponymous combatants. |
25 | * DullSurprise: Even before he was turned into a vampire, Jyugon reacts to everything around him with the same bored, tired expression and voice. |
26 | * EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: |
27 | ** Subverted. Furano at first is saddened by Keiko's death, but is immediately happy about it because that means he can experiment on her body and use her for his research. |
28 | ** Subverted with Monami. She initially seems to genuinely love Jyugon, but in the end it turns out that she only wants him as a new slave. |
29 | * EyepatchOfPower: Monami is wearing one in the opening. |
30 | * ForScience: Furano's motivation. |
31 | * GhostMemory: Monami projects her memories on Jyugon's mind when he tastes her blood. |
32 | * {{Gorn}}: From the makers of ''Film/TokyoGorePolice''! Bring an umbrella. |
33 | * HospitalHottie: Midori, Furano's assistant, who gets attention from all the male students. |
34 | * MadScientist: Furano, the crazed Kabuki scientist, is willing to do anything for his experiments. |
35 | * MadScientistsBeautifulDaughter: Keiko, Furano's daughter, though he doesn't seem to really care for her. |
36 | * MonumentalBattle: Monami's and Keiko's climactic duel takes it place on top of the TokyoTower. |
37 | * NonActionGuy: Jyugon, an average joe who doesn't pull any punches, especially compared to Keiko and Monami. |
38 | * OneWingedAngel: Furano, after being ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice and later being revealed to be NotQuiteDead with the use of Monami's blood, he becomes a Franken Advanced Composite Life Form, a grotesque {{Kaiju}}-like monster. The movie ends [[BolivianArmyEnding just as Monami begins to fight Furano once more]]. |
39 | * OralFixation: Furano biting his nails. It leads to him discovering the properties of vampire blood when he actually bites his finger. |
40 | * TheRenfield: Igor, who serves Monami. |
41 | * RollerBladeGood: Monami's mother uses her blood to create rollerskate during her fight against Sumo From Hell. |
42 | * SadistTeacher: Mr. Uchiyama, whose first scene involves him cruelly taking away his student's chocolates... on Valentine's Day no less! |
43 | * SequelHook: Monami confronting Furano's OneWingedAngel form. |
44 | * SeriousBusiness: Being a ganguro and wrist cutting. |
45 | * ShockAndAwe: Both Furano and resurrected Midori use electrically charged weapons. |
46 | * SkeletonsInTheCoatCloset: Igor dons an armour made of bones when he goes on the BattleButler mode. |
47 | * StylisticSuck: Likely intentional, the movie is a throwback to b-horror movies so it has a few cases of obvious SpecialEffectsFailure as early as Monami attacking the creeper when she goes to her GameFace, with it being fairly obvious her wide-mouth monster form is a puppet and of course all the fake limbs being lost through the film and {{Gorn}}. Part of the fun though of course. |
48 | * SupernaturalGoldEyes: Full-powered vampires have these. |
49 | * UnusualWeaponMounting: The Sumo From Hell, whom Monami's mother fought in the past, is shown having a gun on top of his head. |
50 | * VersusTitle |
