3	One day, without warning, a huge hole appeared in the world. And from it, [[LegionsOfHell emerged many demons]]. The king sent out a call to arms for the descendants of the great hero Creasion, who a thousand years ago sealed away the Demon King Rchimedes, as the world's only hope... All 75 current possible descendants, that is. And then this happened, and then some other stuff happened, then this other crap... What will happen? Do we care?
4
5	The narrator doesn't, for one.
6
7	But... The hero we follow is Alba, who sets out to slay the Demon King, but may find the Demon King is more powerful than he thinks... or less powerful... maybe even in need of a hero... or he might wind up being thrown in prison for completely unrelated reasons. And while Alba is [[StraightMan a fairly normal person]], the same can't be said for those around him.
8
9	A unique form of gag-based manga (and its continuations) by Haruhara Robinson, watchable on [=NicoNico=] Seiga and later serialized under Shueisha's [[Magazine/ShonenJump Jump SQ]], ''Senyuu.'' has been adapted into a 2013 anime, with 13 five-minute episodes planned, as well as a second season of the same size for July 2013.
10	----
11	!!''Senyuu'' provides examples of:
12
13	%% AccidentalPervert: What lands Alba in jail after the Demon King presses charges...for a greater amount of episodes than out of it (after he winds up in jail again for harboring the Demon King at his side once she drops the charges). Hey, [[LampshadeHanging drawing that prison outfit is easier]] on the animation budget than his armor ever was!
14	* AdaptedOut: September Neun and August Acht never make their appearances in the anime, since (in Neun's case, at least in chapter 1) they are only minor.
15	* AllYourPowersCombined: Elf November. He can copy others' powers by changing into them wholly, or just one appendage.
16	* AlternateTimeline: [[spoiler:Elf and Alf came from the future hoping to increase the amount of mana in their time and end up changing history.]]
17	* AmusingInjuries: Broken ribs, injured larynx, heavy beatings from an overblown {{Tsundere}}, [[spoiler:being dramatically sliced through by the second of the 12 Chosen Ones]]...ain't nothing for the likes of Alba and Co.! Although unlike many series, the injuries stick ([[NervesOfSteel more or less]]), leading to Alba complaining about his broken ribs several episodes after he initially broke them.
18	* AristocratsAreEvil: [[spoiler: The King seeks to unleash the Demon King just for the glory of having him sealed again. Unfortunately since most people don't know about his actions, Alba gets sent to prison for thirty years for punching him.]]
19	* ArtShift: Goes from the normal style to hyper-masculine old school shounen style to blob world style to normal again without wasting a single beat in some episodes.
20	* AwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachOther:
21	** Ros might sadistically torment Alba, but the two do care about each other as shown when Ros is sad that Alba isn't around, [[spoiler: shocked when he [[DeathIsCheap temporarily got killed]], and gives him helpful advice mixed in with his insults]], while Alba [[spoiler: will try to help unseal the demon king in order to let Ros be free.]]
22	** Also, when [[spoiler: Ros gives Alba the dagger as a gift.]]
23	-->'''Ros:''' [[spoiler: It's not like I bought it for your sake or anything.]]
24	* BadassNormal: Foyfoy turns out to be an actually good fighter if you give him the time to let him [[CallingYourAttacks call his attacks]].
25	* BadassOnPaper: When Teufel discusses his past with Ares, he sounds like he used to be an utter badass. He grew up as an assassin for two shady organizations, and was responsible for taking them both down. He even fought the second Rchimedes. In context, it turns out that since nobody told him not to file taxes, he accidentally tipped off the police, who promptly shut it down. The second organization was aware of his past, and created a front company so that he could file taxes without getting caught (and because [[MundaneSolution nobody thought to tell him not to file taxes]]). They then found that the front company both [[GoodPaysBetter pays]] and [[GoodFeelsGood feels better]], so they gave up on the shady part, [[MetaphoricallyTrue metaphorically]] destroying the second shady group. His fight with the Demon King was an friendly chat gone wrong; he entered the castle by knocking out the guards because he didn't realize that wasn't normal, and when Teufel inquired about his family, his demeanor made it sound like a threat. The second Rchimedes curbstomped him and threw him into the human world, which is how he became a butler.
26	* BelievingTheirOwnLies: Ares was lying about being one of the Hero's Creasion's descendants when journeying with Hime, only to be completely shocked when it turns out that [[spoiler: Creasion doesn't have any kids.]]
27	* {{BFS}}: The most badass man gets the most badass sword. (It's Ros.)
28	* BlatantLies: Episodes 13 ending narration.
29	--> '''Narrator:''' And thus the world was saved. Thank you, Hero Alba! We will never forget you!
30	--> '''Alba:''' The world's not saved!
31	* BlobMonster: The story opens up with Alba defeating a slime monster. Immediately followed by Ros asking if he's a pervert with a slime fetish.
32	* BrainwashedAndCrazy: [[spoiler: Janua]] is brainwashed to follow [[spoiler:Februar's]] command.
33	* CallingYourAttacks: Foy Foy and Dezember Zwölf both shout their attacks Grausame Klinge and Dunkelheit, which is more than once interrupted.
34	* CardboardPrison: Janua apparently could have busted himself out at any time...but he still hangs around in prison, because that's where the [[GagSeries "plot"]] is.
35	%% CastingAShadow: Dezember.
36	* CerebusSyndrome: It already happens slightly during the anime, however, the webmanga is hit with this in chapter 2 when [[spoiler:Foyfoy's and Creasion's]] backstories are revealed - luckily without sacrificing its level of comedy.
37	* CombatTentacles: Zwei uses them.
38	* TheChewToy: Alba. Both for everyone around him, as well as the universe in general as he tends to get [[WeirdnessMagnet sucked into things]] that makes his life suck just when it starts to hit an upswing.
39	* CreepyGood: Ros has sadistic tendencies, but he is unmistakably one of the good guys.
40	* CloudCuckoolandersMinder: Alf was appointed to a high-ranking post not because of his abilities, but because of his friendship with [[spoiler:Head Mage Elf]], a major GeniusDitz and ManChild who needs to be reined in.
41	* CurbStompBattle: Happens quite a lot. Most happen offscreen. Some examples:
42	** [[spoiler: Ros]] defeats Dezember and Juli easily when he activates his magic power, leaving Dezember shocked at his power.
43	** The 2nd Rchimedes easily taking on Dezember and Noin at the same time. Until [[spoiler:Elf comes to their aid]], then ''he's'' the one who's at the receiving end.
44	%% DarkAndTroubledPast: [[spoiler: Ros/Creasion/Sion's past makes you want to give him a hug, even if you get punched for it.]]
45	* DeadpanSnarker: When he's not trolling Alba or anyone else he feels like, Ros fits this to a T, although Alba often gets in on it as well [[OnlySaneMan to keep some measure of sanity in the skits]].
46	--> '''Rchi-chan''': This guy's supposed to be a hero, but he's just spent all his time snarking...
47	%% DeathFromAbove:
48	%% Juli tries this on Ros [[BadassCrew and company]]
49	%% Done again with Elf in season 2. Except [[ZeroEffortBoss he defeats himself before joining]].
50	* DevilInPlainSight: Ros probably rivals [[{{Manga/Gintama}} Okita Sougo]] in the Prince of the Planet of Sadists department, up to his incredible casualness towards his messing with anyone he feels like. People rarely acknowledge it, although Alba's acutely aware of it.
51	--> '''Janua (a demon)''': What is he, a demon?
52	* TheDragon: Juli Sieben to Dezember Zolf. Literally as well since he can turn himself into a dragon. Later, Dezember himself to the 1st Rchimedes.
53	* DramaPreservingHandicap: [[spoiler:Ros]] can't use his full magical power or else [[spoiler: Rchimendes will be freed.]]
54	* TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt: In chapter 4, a meteor shower threatens the planet.
55	* EvenTheGuysWantHim: Even the Narrator is falling for [[TestosteronePoisoning Samejima]].
56	* EvilDuo: Februar and Zwei are actually two demons that come as a pair.
57	%% EvilOldFolks: Februar is one though she [[OlderThanTheyLook looks like a little girl]], but has all the problems some elderly people have including back pain and dentures.
58	%% ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin: Hime is the King's daughter.
59	* ExoticEyeDesigns: Dezember has dice for irises. Neun has a star in his left eye, and the sealed Demon King has CreepyCrosses.
60	* FaceFramedInShadow: The leader of the 12 Chosen Ones, Dezember Zwolf, this baffles Michel when this holds true even when Dezember is in broad daylight. Then he puts on shadow like it's [[CoolMask a mask]].
61	* FakeKillScare: The first Rchimedes pulls one of these on Ros by [[spoiler: sending Alba to the dimensional rift]] during the final battle against him in volume 2.
62	* FamedInStory: Alba became a really popular hero by the time of the third arc.
63	%% FashionVictimVillain: In-universe; Rchi-chan considers [[spoiler: her grandfather's]] choices of clothes as this.
64	* ForcedTransformation: Samejima's [[TransformationRay Manly Energy Beam]] temporarily changes the target into a hyper-masculine version of themselves.
65	* {{Foreshadowing}}: "Even if I save the whole world I'll never be forgiven!" [[spoiler:He does and is]].
66	%% FunnyAnimal: Miichan. Later, Hasegawara-kun.
67	* {{Fusion Dance}}: Janua and Samejima do this and become Janujima so they can take on Guilty Justice head to head.
68	* TheGadfly: Ros, who spends about 75% of his energy screwing around with Alba and other dudes because it amuses him. The other 25% is spent hanging around snarking or not doing anything at all because he doesn't feel like it's worth the effort.
69	%% GenderBlenderName: Ares is a girl.
70	* GetAHoldOfYourselfMan: Samejima teleports into the dimensional rift solely to punch some sense into Janua and free him from Zwei's control.
71	* GlorySeeker: [[spoiler: The King]] decided to revive the first Rchimedes just so he can have him sealed again and gain the fame and glory.
72	* GlowingEyesOfDoom: The left of Janua's mismatched eyes glows creepily when controlled.
73	* GoKartingWithBowser: Janua, Ros, Rchi-chan, and Miichan, in the midst of fighting and arguing, spontaneously start playing dodgeball. Alba [[LampshadeHanging attempts to bring attention to this]], to no avail.
74	* GrandTheftMe: [[spoiler: Rchimedes the 1st's body is actually the body of Crea, Ross' best friend.]]
75	* GratuitousGerman:
76	** Quite a lot. A bunch of demons were named after the german months and the respective number: Janua Ein (who is also frequently misspelt - the correct spelling would be Januar Eins, which means January One), Februar Zwei (February Two), April Vier (April Four), Mai Fünf (May Five), Juni Sechs (June Six), Juli Sieben (July Seven), August Acht (August Eight), September Neun (September Nine), Zehn (Ten, his first name hasn't been confirmed yet but it's most likely Oktober), November Elf (November Eleven) and Dezember Zwölf (December Twelve).
77	** Alba's second name, Frühling, means Spring
78	** Foyfoy as well as Dezember Zwölf both have german attack names: "Grausame Klinge" means cruel blade, and "Dunkelheit" means Darkness.
79	* TheGuardsMustBeCrazy: Inverted; completely sane guards sometimes interact with the mind-bogglingly irrational heroes. See InsaneTrollLogic below.
80	* HalfTheManHeUsedToBe: [[spoiler: Alba]], after being cut in half by Dezember.
81	* HeroAcademy: Built during the TimeSkip between second and third arc. The main characters of the third arc are the students.
82	* HeroicComedicSociopath:
83	** Mostly Ros, who has a tendency to be an unhelpful sidekick to the hero, to the point that his actions are what lead Alba to get in trouble. He also has no problem at the thought of daydreaming about Alba being hunted as a fugitive.
84	** Ares apparently finds it ''hilarious'' that Februar unleashed her CombatTentacles right through Hime's visor and likely, face, causing Hime and her armor to fall over supposedly dead. She gets up again, but still. She stabs Foyfoy and frames Alba in season 2 in a improvised plot to enter the city Turtle.
85	%% HeelFaceTurn: [[spoiler: Februar]] pulls one. Doesn't help much though.
86	* HeroesPreferSwords: Alba, though he's disarmed before it gets much use. Later he TookALevelInBadass and showed how proficient he is. Hilariously lampshaded when Ros tells Alba that because of his high speed, Alba is more suited to wield a dagger instead of a sword - after Alba became much stronger with the sword.
87	* HorrifyingTheHorror: [[spoiler: Ros]] is powerful enough that he scares the ''Demon King Rchimedes'' and has made him his ButtMonkey.
88	* HyperCompetentSidekick: Ros has the full potential for this, however, he often isn't in the mood for it.
89	* IDidntMeanToTurnYouOn: Miichan the masochist really "enjoys" being kicked by Rchi-chan, getting insulted by Ross, and pretty much anything that involves inflicting him pain, be it emotional or physical.
90	* InsaneTrollLogic: All over the place. An especially wacko example is when Elf disguises himself as Alba ''and himself''--Alba on the right half of his face, Elf on the left--because he thought this would trick the guard into thinking neither of them had escaped prison. [[OnlySaneMan The guard doesn't fall for it.]]
91	* InSeriesNickname:
92	** Demon King Rchimedes' young successor Demon King Rchimedes, called Rchi-chan by Alba, Rchi by Ros, and...Rchi-tan...by Rudolf, etc.
93	** Mii-chan's real name is Michelajul Lortelia. Probably says something about [[CloudcuckooLander Janua's]] (or possibly his) naming sense.
94	%% JapaneseDelinquents: The demon Samejima dresses like one.
95	* {{Jerkass}}: ''Ros.'' An out-and-out sadist, the dude seems to [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything more than relish the thought]] of purposefully setting up Alba's downfall, and doesn't try to hide it, either. He'll willingly screw around with every other easily-riled person around too, if the opportunity presents itself.
96	%% JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Ros has his moments, even though he apparently doesn't like to admit it.
97	%% KilledMidSentence: Hime. Or seemingly, as she gets back right up.
98	* KnightOfCerebus: Dezember is this at the beginning, however, in chapter 3, even he becomes less serious.
99	* TheKnightsWhoSaySquee: Dezember, towards anything that have to do with the 1st Rchimedes.
100	* LatexPerfection: Not quite as Elf's eyes are still clearly grey, and his voice is still vaguely recognizable, but his general proportions do change when he puts on his disguise.
101	* LazyBum: Teufel Diabolos, the head butler in the Kings Castle is one. He'll try to do as little as possible to the point the King wonders how he became the head butler.
102	* LemonyNarrator: The narrator gets increasingly bored and fed up with having to narrate the introduction sequence at the beginning of each episode, as showcased in the synopsis (taken word-for-word from his episode 12 narration).
103	* LiteralSplitPersonality: Dezember Zwolf has six personalities that can be identified with the number of his dice-eyes. We've only seen No.1 and No.5, however.
104	* LivingToys: Dezember Zwolf used to be [[spoiler:a die that used to belong to the first Rchimedes. He gained sentience through magic, and is obsessed with making the first happy because he considers his purpose as a toy to make his owner happy]].
105	* LuminescentBlush: Right through a suit of armor!
106	* MagicKnight: Ros, who's initially shown only as a competent warrior, only to later subtly reveal that he is adept at healing (and in episode 13, combat) magic as well, which comes in handy in several crucial situations (situations that don't involve Alba's broken ribs, unfortunately).
107	* MamaBear: Cecily takes this to a spiritual level, beating up anyone who even slightly endangers her kids.
108	* {{Manchild}}: Janua, the [[NinjaPirateZombieRobot ninja demon with the strength to destroy 4 Tokyo Domes]] and an apparent magical power level of 530,000 introduces himself thus:
109	--> '''Janua:''' Arm Clone Jutsu!! spins arm really fast
110	--> '''Alba:''' ''ARE YOU AN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL KID OR SOMETHING!?''
111	* MasterOfDisguise: Elf's power. If he has seen the person close up, that is.
112	* MeaningfulName: [[WhoNamesTheirKidDude Hime]] because she's a princess.
113	* MeaningfulRename: [[spoiler: The hero Creasion]]. Twice.
114	** [[spoiler: His real name is Shion. After his best friend Crea was killed by the first Rchimedes, he renamed himself Creasion]].
115	** [[spoiler: He took on the name Ross when hiding his identity in the present. Ross is the name Crea suggested if he would be known as a world-explorer]].
116	* MiniMecha: Hime is riding one in the shape of a knight.
117	%% MoodWhiplash: There's a lot of this once the CerebusSyndrome kicks in.
118	* MrExposition: Foyfoy kindly takes it upon himself to explain to Alba [[spoiler:how they'd all been had by the King and the demons on his side, who seek to bring back the originally sealed Demon King, Rchi-chan's grandfather (she herself is manipulated as well; see below)]] in a really cool manner. Then he tries to stand on numb legs and smashes his hardheaded face on the floor with his butt up in the air while doing so.
119	** Alba's Mom in the epilogue of 2nd arc. She basically explains everything that happens at the ending, even things she should have no way to know. Alba doesn't hesitate to chime in.
120	--> '''Alba''': "MOTHER, WHY ARE YOU SO WELL-INFORMED!?"
121	* MySignificanceSenseIsTingling: Alba can sense when someone needs his aid.
122	* MyGodYouAreSerious: When Ruki tries to explain to Alba that [[spoiler:Ross is the son of the demon king]], he just laughs thinking it was a joke and ignores her comment, only to later realize it was true.
123	* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Rchi-chan unleashed demons upon the earth while trying to make popcorn.
124	* NinjaMaid: Alles is the chief maid of the castle, although we never see her doing anything maid-ish.
125	* NoBudget: Parodied often. One episode skips the intro due to lack of budget, even though this ''increases'' the cost.
126	* NonindicativeTitle: [[http://imageshack.us/a/img16/7610/senyuufull1404521.jpg Nisepanda]], who is not a panda. This one's extra-confusing because "nisepanda" means "fake panda" or "pseudo-panda," but it looks like a [[StylisticSuck horrible rendition of a giraffe]].
127	* NonStandardCharacterDesign: Alba's mom is a woman-shaped emoticon.
128	* NoRespectGuy: Alba, until the end of chapter 2.
129	* NoSenseOfHumor: Dezember, who he gets frustrated when people are joking around.
130	* NoShirtLongJacket: Samejima, which shows off his abs.
131	* OlderThanTheyLook: Rchi, and indeed most demons, [[spoiler: and The Hero Creasion]].
132	* OneExtraMember: The Four Great Demon Lords are Guilty Justice, Elf November, and Dezember Zwolf. All three of them.
133	* OnlyFriend: Miichan in Janua's heartwarming story.
134	* OnlySaneMan / StraightMan: Without Alba's precious vocal cords (oft made to shriek like a harpy at the madness that has a tendency to erupt about him), this show would be in ruins. Also Ros wouldn't be able to [[HeroicComedicSociopath watch Alba get hunted down as a fugitive for harboring the Demon King at his side]]. Lym would fill this role in the third arc.
135	* OurHeroIsDead: [[spoiler: Alba]] gets [[HalfTheManHeUsedToBe bifurcated]].
136	* OutOfCharacterMoment: Rchi-chan spends an entire episode cycling through this, to humorous effect.
137	* OnlyInItForTheMoney: Foyfoy tries to kill the TokenMiniMoe Demon King for it.
138	* TheOnlyOneAllowedToDefeatYou: ...Only to fail, and come back with something like this in mind against Ros several episodes later. Until [[CornerOfWoe he becomes alienated by the ongoing, several-episodes-long scenario that he'd been outside of]].
139	* PaperThinDisguise: Elf is first seen approaching Alba earing an outfit that barely resembles Foyfoy. Then he dresses like a Centaur.
140	* ParentalNeglect: The King doesn't even notice his daughter missing for ''two weeks''.
141	%% [[spoiler: Shion's]] father, after he went crazy.
142	* PeoplePuppets: Noin September's power, "Marionette".
143	* PetTheDog: Ross has a few moments with Alba, most notably when he [[spoiler:hands him the dagger he stabbed him with as a gift.]]
144	* ThePiratesWhoDontDoAnything: These heroes sure are spending a lot of time being ridiculous in jail... There's even an episode or two dedicated to the main trio (and Janua) doing nothing at all in said jail. Alba gets better at heroism in the 2nd arc, though.
145	* PsychoticSmirk: It's part of Ros's HeroicComedicSociopath schtick.
146	* RealityWarper: [[spoiler:Ros, a.k.a. "Creasion,"]] who describes his powers as [[GodModeSue "anything I want."]] He demonstrates this by [[spoiler:killing Dezember [[MundaneUtility (after turning his hair into an afro)]], summoning Rchimedes, inflicting pain on Rchimedes, and sealing him away, all in a matter of seconds without expending any effort]].
147	* Really700YearsOld: [[spoiler:Frebruar Zwei. Her dentures even fly out of her mouth. And she has back problems.]] Subverted with young Rchimedes, who's 100 years old but psychologically only 10, and only took up the role of Demon King recently.
148	* {{Sadist}}: Ros.
149	--> '''Ros:''' I like seeing people weep in despair.
150	* SealedEvilInACan: The first Rchimedes is this. [[spoiler: The King]] and several of the Twelve Chosen Ones are trying to release him.
151	* SoulPower: [[spoiler: Teufel Diabolos]] can manipulate souls, such as swapping bodies or removing them.
152	%% RazorFloss: Neun.
153	* ReadingsAreOffTheScale: Rchi-chan when reading Samejima's magic power, but only because she hasn't learned how to multiply numbers yet.
154	* RedEyesTakeWarning: Utilized by [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold Ros]] and true for a number of demons, including Februar and Dezember. Averted for Janua ([[spoiler:unless brainwashed and crazy]]).
155	* TheReveal:
156	** [[spoiler: Ross is in fact the hero Creasion.]]
157	** [[spoiler: Rchimedes is Ross' father, who hijacked Ross' best friend's Crea body]].
158	** [[spoiler: Lake and his mother are actually, Rchimedes' son and wife, transported 1000 years to the future, and are Ross' brother and mother.]]
159	* RevealShot: Janua first appears shortly after Rchi-chan tells Alba about the 12 strongest demons whie in prison. Janua's aura terrifies Alba, and his face shows he's bad news. The next panel shows Janua in handcuffs being escorted by a guard, revealing that he's also in prison.
160	* RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: Hime-chan who is, in fact, a princess.
161	* RunningGag: Alba constantly getting sent back to prison for crimes he unintentionally committed or framed for. Also, cracked ribs.
162	* ShapeshifterBaggage: Elf November doesn't seem to have any problems changing sizes at all.
163	* SingleLineOfDescent: Subverted, both for laughs and as a major plot element; after 1000 years, it's really hard to say who the true descendant is. [[spoiler:And then subverted ''again'' when it turns out the hero never had any children and therefore has no line of descent at all.]]
164	* SkewedPriorities: Alba feels that Ros should prioritize healing Alba's broken ribs above [[OnlySaneMan healing his vocal cords]]. Ros [[BokeAndTsukkomiRoutine feels differently]].
165	* SomeKindOfForceField: One surrounds [[spoiler:Demon King Rchimedes]] in the dimensional rift and hurts anyone who comes in contact with it.
166	* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Spelling is unclear for a lot of names, especially Ros/Ross and Ares/Alles. Furthermore, the demon's names are often misspelt (The actual german spellings are Januar Eins, Februar Zwei, April Vier, Mai Fünf, Juni Sechs, Juli Sieben, August Acht, September Neun, Oktober Zehn, November Elf and Dezember Zwölf).
167	* StepfordSmiler: [[spoiler: Elf November]] is hinted to be one, though it isn't quite clear yet.
168	* StoppedCaring: Alba at the beginning of season 2. He's started caring again by the next episode.
169	* TalkingAnimal: Miichan after being affected by Janua's power. He also became a masochist.
170	* TalkToTheFist: When [[spoiler:Dezember]] is getting mad over Alba interfering and saving [[spoiler: Ros, Ares runs into Dezember with Hime's transformed armor.]]
171	%% Dezember does this when everyone is joking around and when [[spoiler: Zwei and Februar are too busy talking instead of attacking him]].
172	* TeleportersAndTransporters: Janua can use teleportation magic.
173	* TestosteronePoisoning: Samejima explains that a real man can come to a friend's aid no matter where they are and can punch the brainwashing out of them. He then starts doing this to explain other illogical things that can be done by a real man like making one look taller than they appear and making everyone save [[StraightMan Alba]] believe it makes sense.
174	* TemporalThemeNaming: The 12 Chosen Ones, each named after a german month (and frequently misspelled).
175	* ThinkingUpPortals: Rchi-chan can create portals, but they're not designed for humans, so every time Alba goes through one, [[BlackComedy it breaks one of his ribs]]. Her father, the 2nd Rchimedes, can also use these, and implements them in his fighting style, {{Portal Cut}}s included.
176	* TimeMaster: [[spoiler:Ros]] can use time magic.
177	* TimeSkip: About one year between each of the first three chapters, and 1000 years in chapter 4.
178	* TokenGoodTeammate: Janua is the only one of the Twelve Demons who is unambiguously good.
179	* TookALevelInBadass: Alba in the first arc serves as nothing but the StraightMan. In the second arc, he easily dispatched both Juli and Noin with nothing but a sword. [[spoiler: And that's before he got ''both'' Creasion and Rchimedes' mana]].
180	%% TransformationRay: Samejima's Manly Energy Beam.
181	%% {{Tsundere}}: Parodied by Ros after he stabbed Alba, even though the rest of the time, he plays it straight.
182	%%Hime-chan, if that's what [[LampshadeHanging they're calling it these days]]...
183	* VillainousBSOD: [[spoiler:Janua when under Zwei's control has one at the beginning of season two since everyone calls his jutsu's magic.]]
184	* VoluntaryShapeshifting: Juli can change any part of his body into that of a dragon. November can be anything.
185	* VoidBetweenTheWorlds: The Dimensional Rift, where [[YearOutsideHourInside time flows in a chaotic manner]], and where [[spoiler: The first Rchimedes is sealed]].
186	* WantedPoster: Alba gets a very nice one once the King finds out that he's "on the side of" the Demon King. More specifically, he's "WANTED DEAD OR ALIVE \| REWARD: 50,000,000-"
187	* WeaksauceWeakness: When [[OnlySaneMan Alba]] arrives he's the only one who can point out that what Samejima says doesn't make sense, causing Samejima to have a HeroicBSOD. He overcame this later.
188	--> '''Samejima''': My way of life...doesn't need any reason!
189	%% WeirdnessMagnet: Alba.
190	* WildCard: Elf November falls somewhere between ManipulativeBastard and ItAmusedMe, on the one hand he helps Alba reunite with Ares and co. even staying in jail for his sake. On the other hand he's a big fan of BreakThemByTalking and [[spoiler: Is the BigBad in Chapter 3]]. To make things more complicated, he now is [[spoiler: the new protagonist.]]
191	* WhamEpisode: [[spoiler:Episode 23 ends with Alba being [[HalfTheManHeUsedToBe bisected]] by Dezember.]]
192	* WhatHappenedToTheMouse:
193	** It's never shown what happens to Nisepanda in the anime. [[spoiler: He's slain by Ross in chapter 2 of the manga]].
194	** August was brought along as support by April. After April is defeated, August is nowhere to be seen.
195	* WhatKindOfLamePowerIsHeartAnyway: Many demons in the demon world. Some powers are "magic to take out egg yolks without breaking the egg" or "magic to make toasts delicious". One particular named example is [[spoiler: Juni Sechs]], whose power is basically "speaking really loud".
196	* WhoNamesTheirKidDude: Brought up constantly and mercilessly by the main cast at Foyfoy's introduction, poor man.
197	* WithFriendsLikeThese: Even if Ros and Alba have some moments, most of the time Ros just trolls or punches Alba, even going to the point where he stabs him for no particular reason.
