Line #21 YMMV/MajinTanteiNougamiNeuro


1	* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AspUNwH1oIA Kodoku no Hikairi]] the ending song of the anime, which translates to "Light Of Loneliness" which fits the feeling of Yako's purpose in life being filled by Neuro very well, [[spoiler: as well as describing Sasazuka, HAL and Sai's loneliness]]
2	** [[https://youtu.be/A8GZReei1hY Dirty]], the opening of the anime, captures the action and insanity of the series.
3	** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UdxKgbBcO44 The main theme]] of the series also has similar effects like the OP.
4	* BlindIdiotTranslation: Sicks' other name was translated as "Jody Tubulik" by scanlators which is a mistranslation of "Zodia [[NamedAfterSomeoneFamous Kubrick]]" as shown through the original Japanese text as well as other languages who have officially translated the series.
5	* CompleteMonster: [[BigBad Sicks]], also known as Zodia Kubrick, absolutely [[CardCarryingVillain revels in his evil]]. A [[EnfantTerrible monster from birth]] who slit the other babies' throats in his nursery and later [[SelfMadeOrphan murdered both his parents]], Sicks comes into conflict with the demon detective [[AntiHero Neuro]] Nōgami. Sicks tracks down his clone, X, and murders X's love, infiltrating the police by wearing the skin of a man he killed. He [[BadBoss punishes a subordinate]] who had failed to find X by making him saw himself open with a rusty saw, admitting he didn't care about a fair punishment, he just wanted to see the man die. To present a meal for Neuro, a demon who eats mysteries, the sadistic Sicks forces a mansion's worth of people to commit murders in inventive ways and then blew them up when Neuro was repulsed by the gesture. When recruiting his "Fingers, " Sicks presented one with a cube made of the faces he had ripped from everyone close to him, and with another, he forced him to murder his own father. Sicks's goal was nothing less than the [[KillAllHumans absolute annihilation of humanity]], and on his orders, Japan suffered catastrophic death tolls before he and Neuro finally engaged in a DuelToTheDeath.
6	* CultClassic: A moderately popular series in Japan, the only things it released stateside is a Viz license on the anime and not a dubbed version (said release is no longer available). That being said, it does have an interesting concept on the MonsterOfTheWeek storyline being necessary and the depths that CardCarryingVillain-y can sink to.
7	* DracoInLeatherPants: Neuro and Sai.
8	* EnsembleDarkhorse: The EvilChef Shirota is strangely popular within the Japanese fandom. Maybe it's because his OneWingedAngel was an example of extreme awesomeness. In fact, it's so popular, it appears in [[Manga/BoboboboBobobo another series]] as well
9	** Don't forget Higuchi. He has his own fansite, even.
10	*** Since his first appearance Higuchi has reliably beaten Sasazuka, X, and Godai in the character polls too.
11	** AttractiveBentGender Neuro (AKA Neuko) scored 9th in the last character poll... and she was only hypothetical!
12	** Taken to the extreme when food started gaining votes in the character polls.
13	* EvilIsCool: Sai, HAL and especially Sicks on the evil part
14	* GrowingTheBeard: The series follows a [[MonsterOfTheWeek Serial Killer Of The Week]] story till Sai shows up and the series gets much more interesting.
15	* HilariousInHindsight: From the final battle: [[spoiler: "PhantomThief Sai [[VideoGame/Persona5 will steal your heart!]]"]]. Of course, in this case it was [[AndShowItToYou quite literally]].
16	* LoveToHate: Sicks [[spoiler: Especially on how he kills Sasazuka, then revealed to be the cause of Harukawa's FreudianExcuse through being the cause of his lover's death]]
17	* MagnificentBastard: The genius demon Neuro Nōgami arrives from the underworld, makes a hapless schoolgirl named Yako Katsuragi his proxy and uses her to help solve his mysteries so he can feed upon them. Neuro constantly outwits his quarry, deducing complex murders and making Yako a famous detective to raise his own profile, while brilliantly foiling other plots and gambles from villains. Neuro later encounters the atrociously evil Sicks who intends on exterminating humanity and decides to defend his food source, despising killing, as every human is capable of creating a mystery of their own for him. Neuro helps to organize the defeat of Sicks and his group with his trademark brilliance and audacious flourishes.
18	* MindGameShip: As pointlessly cruel as Neuro is to Yako, it almost comes across as affectionate as the series goes on.
19	** Judging by the demonic date sim Neuro once played, pointless cruelty ''is'' his way of showing affection. And of course, Yako appears in Neuro's wet dream right next to the ultimate puzzle once.
20	* {{Moe}}: Miyasako Mutsuki, a little girl who wants Yako to help her grandfather.
21	* MoralEventHorizon: Sicks was never a nice person but what REALLY seals the deal is how he murders [[spoiler:Sasazuka by having Sai briefly inflict ShapeShifterGuiltTrip by shifting into the forms of his family before finally shooting him himself]]...
22	** [[spoiler: It's then revealed that Setsuna's degenerating brain was caused by one of Sicks' drugs, thus is responsible for Harukawa's FreudianExcuse]]
23	** Hell, he may very well have set a record in how fast he crosses it in-universe. Namely, slitting the throats of a nursery full of newborns with a razor blade ''[[EnfanteTerrible hours after he was born]]''.
24	** DR crossed it when he willingly causes a flash flood, killing off a large percentage of the population of the city where Yako lives. Even Neuro, with his ThouShallNotKill policy, thought that he should die for doing that.
25	* ShipTease: Chap 201 made lots of fangirls nosebleed and go {{Squee}}.
26	* {{Squick}}: Everything about Sicks
27	* TooCoolToLive: [[spoiler: Sasazuka]]
28	* WhatDoYouMeanItsNotPolitical: Twice over the HAL arc the danger of untrained civilian possessing fire weapons is brought up.
29	** The Hayasaka brothers, a pair of yakuzas that were antagonists early in the manga, contact Goda to talk about something that might aid him in the investigation. Using a spice shop as a front, they're running a smuggling operation and one of the "goods" they delivered were crates full of handguns and other fire guns. What compelled them to act was that the cargo was delivered to what seemed to be ordinary college students. If they were your average criminal gun-and-runners wouldn't been any issue but civilians are a completely different thing. They flat out stated that if that amount of guns were to land in the hands of normal people, it would be "the end of civilization as [they] know it."
