[[caption-width:275:This is the smallest primary cast lineup we're able to find]]

When OrdinaryHighSchoolStudent Kazuto Hongo chases after a thief, who steals and breaks an ancient mirror at his school campus, he's transported back to ancient China. Are we good so far? Now, take the ''Literature/RomanceOfTheThreeKingdoms'' story and GenderFlip nearly all male characters from the original epic into {{action girl}}s of varying degrees of affection for Kazuto, you get the perfect harem VisualNovel called ''Koihime Musou'', developed by [=BaseSon=]. All principal heroines in the game are [[{{Expy}} expies]] of the (male) generals from the original epic and the former's names are derived from the latter's by reading the original Chinese characters in their names as kanji. Additionally, all of them have a true, "private" name usually reserved for close friends, and several sport a [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_style_name courtesy name]]. See the [[Characters/KoihimeMusou full character list]].

The animated [[BleachedUnderpants adaptation]] turns it into YuriFanboy bait by [[CipherScything removing Kazuto altogether]]: there are actually very few notable men in any of the episodes. The anime's plot is secondary to gratuitous but surprisingly classy {{fanservice}} and keeps very little from the original novel. It basically consists of the expies of the "Five Tiger Generals" (google it already) coming together from across China to band against the anarchical rule of [[{{Mooks}} generic bandits]].

A remake of the visual novel ''Shin Koihime Musou'' was released with more characters added in from ''Literature/RomanceOfTheThreeKingdoms'' and following suit by [[GenderFlip genderflipping]] them. Not only does it pay more attention to the original epic but it also allows players to choose which faction to ally with, rather than the preset one in the original ''Koihime Musou''. An animated follow-up {{OVA}} was released with the last DVD volume, set in the [[HighSchoolAU protagonist's high school in modern Japan]] (but without TheOneGuy again). The anime based on the first game aired in the summer of 2008, and a second season drawing new characters from ''Shin Koihime Musou'' is currently airing.

Compare ''IkkiTousen'' and ''{{Ryofuko-chan}}''.

Tropes found in the series:

* ActionMom -- Kouchuu, and it's not a pretty story behind her "action"
* AmazonBrigade -- The Five Tiger Generals, but by ''Shin Koihime'', all factions have their little own brigade, even if they're not named
** Kakouton's "BlackKnight" brigade in the final episode probably also counts
* BabiesEverAfter -- [[spoiler:The ending of the Go faction campaign in the ''Shin Koihime'' game, where all the girls (except Sonshoukou, who's too young, and Sonsaku and Shuuyu, who are both dead) become mothers to a daughter each, with Kazuto as the common father]]
* BackToBackBadasses -- Kannu and Chouun, Chouhi and Bachou
* BarehandedBladeBlock -- Kannu pulls one off in episode 11
* BerserkButton -- Do ''not'' call Kyocho "small"
* {{Bifauxnen}} -- What's up with Kannu wearing a tie?
* BigBallOfViolence -- Used in the first season and OVA endings, when Bachou tries to steal Chouhi's food
* BigDamnHeroes -- Chouun's re-entry in episode 7, ''everyone's'' in episode 12
* BigEater -- Chouhi and Bachou, but Kyocho outperforms both because she's a freaking pro at eating contests
* BigScrewedUpFamily -- Sonsaku's
* {{Bishonen}} -- Saji (Zuo Ci), [[spoiler:False Ryuubi]]
** Kata Genka (Hua Tuo) in ''Shin Koihime''
* BladeOnAStick -- Most of the girls wield them
* BloodlessCarnage
* BloodKnight -- Chouryou tends to really enjoy a prolonged fight and gets pissed if she can't finish it properly
* BoobsOfSteel -- Subverted and played straight: 80% of the female cast have ''huge'' breasts and are generals in their respective factions, but some characters, like Rikuson, never participates in battles
* BridgeLogic -- Episode two of ''Koihime Musou''.
* BrokeEpisode -- Episode three
* CensorSteam -- {{Lampshaded}} a lot in the HotSpringsEpisode, partially subverted in the collective DVD volumes, where it's "semi-censored"
** Episode two of ''Shin Koihime'' manages to enable censorship...through use of ''rays of sunlight''
* ChasteHero -- Kannu
* ChefOfIron -- Teni in the ''Shin Koihime'' anime (the "Ordinary" type) [[spoiler: originally worked in a tavern in Sousou's kingdom, then was brought in by Sousou herself after hearing how good her cooking is, then is somehow able to subdue a raging bull by grabbing it by the horns, ''literally'', and hurling it into the stratosphere. She is immediately invited to join Sousou's army after that.]]
** Also Sousou herself, as revealed also in ''Shin Koihime''.
* ChivalrousPervert -- Chouun: "What's wrong with my knees?"; not that any of the fanboys mind...
* CovertPervert -- Koumei
* CuteBruiser -- Chouhi
* DeathGlare -- Chouun will give one to anyone who ''dares'' to look at her TrademarkFavoriteFood
* DefeatMeansFriendship -- And, apparently, sisterhood, since this is how Kannu and Chouhi meet
* {{Delinquents}} -- Chouryou; Chouhi's like this initially, but calms down a bit
* DistractedByTheSexy -- OVA: [[spoiler:Enshou attempts to do this on Sousou. It ''works'']]
* DistressedDamsel -- [[spoiler:Happens to the female Ryuubi in the ''Shin Koihime'' TV series, twice, in fact. On both occassions, she's attacked by the same group of bandits (see OnlySixFaces below), both cases being rescued by Kannu and company. The second nearly enters AttemptedRape territory]]
* {{Determinator}} -- Koumei; even Chouhi's impressed
* {{Dojikko}} -- Chouhi immediately invokes this when told to perform some basic manual tasks
* DrunkenMaster -- Although she doesn't really rely on alcohol, Chouryou certainly invokes the image in her first appearance
* DynamicEntry -- Chinkyuu delivers a flying knee drop to Chouhi after an argument at a gift shop. Despite seeing her strategist kick someone she met before in an unwarranted way, the first thing Ryofu does is [[DoWrongRight tell her she did the attack wrong]].
* EmotionlessGirl -- Ryoufu's the exact polar opposite of her loud-mouthed, antagonistic character she's based on... which may be a side effect of the GenderFlip
* EnsembleDarkhorse -- According to the polls on [=BaseSon=]'s website, Chouun ranks first by a large margin, while Ryoufu stands at a distant second and Kannu even further behind at 3. Everyone else is left in the dust
** Probably has something to do with a certain poster boy from a long-running HackAndSlash [[DynastyWarriors franchise also based in the Three Kingdoms era]]...
** Sousou appears to be on the rise following her antics in the second anime season.
* EveryGirlIsCuterWithHairDecs -- Several of the girls have these, and given it's the Three Kingdoms era, expect elaborate hair styling
* ExcitedEpisodeTitle -- Well, not that exciting but in a possible ShoutOut to MazingerZ, the title of episode 2 in the first series is "Kan'u is going to die with Chouun." [[NeverTrustATrailer Guess what DOESN'T HAPPEN in that episode]]
* ExtremeDoormat -- Keifa
* ExpressiveShirt -- Chouhi's tiger hairpin always mimics her facial expression. Teiiku Chuutoku in ''Shin Koihime'' also has an egg shaped ornament that does something similar.
* EyepatchOfPower -- Kakouton, only in the visual novel, as expected from the {{expy}} of Xiahou Dun
* FakeDefector -- Kougai, being an {{expy}} of Huang Gai, the general who "defected" to Cao Cao and later set the latter's ships on fire in the Battle of Red Cliff
* FallenPrincess -- [[spoiler:The female Ryuubi in epsiode 2 of ''Shin Koihime'', as she reveals in a flashback her name and sword were stolen by the fake Ryuubi]]
* FanService -- Everywhere. You can't go 30 seconds without encountering a moment.
* FanServiceWithASmile -- See {{Meido}} entry
* FetishFuelStationAttendant -- Need this be explained?
* FirstNameBasis -- Somehow, ''Shin Koihime's'' first episode is dedicated just to this trope...
* FoeTossingCharge -- Chouun gets to pull one off in the first season finale
* GenderFlip
* GenkiGirl -- Kyocho, though she isn't the only one
* GirlWithPsychoWeapon -- Sousou: her huge (as in taller than she is!) battle axe with somewhat serrated blade and dark themed colors looks formidable on its own, but in episode 5 of ''Shin Koihime'', it gets combined with a fierce dark BattleAura and a [[BerserkButton really pissed off]] Sousou, making it all that more frightening.
* GuiltyPleasures -- And how!
* HiddenEyes -- Part of Kyocho's "battle transformation"
* HighSchoolAU -- The OVA included on the seventh DVD
* HotAmazon -- Kannu is infamous as the beautiful legendary "Black-Haired Bandit Killer", but as a RunningGag, anyone who meets her in person ends up thinking she's not as stunningly beautiful as the "legendary warrior" she's rumored to be
** In ''Shin Koihime Musou'', the gag's taken further when only her [[RapunzelHair long black hair]] gets complimented
* HotBlooded -- Bachou, but to a lesser extent, Chouhi, who ''can cure colds by going berserk''
** As well as Kata in Shin Koihime, to the point where ''he even sneezes hot-bloodedly.'' Of course considering [[NobuyukiHiyama who plays him]]. Also its '''[[LargeHam THE WAY OF FIVE GRAINS!!]]'''
* [[HotLibrarian Librarians]] & NerdsAreSexy -- Rikuson has a...special relationship with books
* HotShounenMom -- God damn it, Kouchuu, your daughter will never have to worry about running out of milk with those melons of yours!
** [[spoiler: Also at the end of the Go faction campaign in the ''Shin Koihime'' game, at least the "hot" ones, after Kazuto gives them daughters]]
* HotSpringsEpisode -- Episode nine
* [[HyperspaceMallet Hyperspace Flail]] -- Kyocho; lampshaded in the anime when, ever time she brings it out, people facing her stare in shock and verbally wonder where the heck she was hiding the darn thing
* HypocriticalHumor -- After getting ambushed by bandits, Ryuubi states she's smart enough not to be a DistressedDamsel again. Seconds after she's gone, she's back into the role
* IKnewIt -- [[spoiler:Ryuubi may be TheOneGuy in the anime, but in ''Shin Koihime'' we finally get a female Ryuubi. The conclusion's too obvious]]
* TheIdiotFromOsaka -- Less of an idiot, but Chouryou does enjoy drinking, fighting and speaking with a KansaiRegionalAccent
* IdiotHair -- Ryoufu has two ahoges, which is further exaggerated in her SuperDeformed appearance
* IdolSinger -- Choukaku, Chouhou, and Chouryou from ''Shin Koihime'' (AKA the leaders of the Yellow Turban Rebellion), complete with makeshift microphones, though we don't actually get to hear them singing during their "live performances" in the game. The anime, however, sports them with magical ones and play this trope straight
** Kannu and Chouhi become such in a [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bEQHxnjKBts promotional video]] before the airing of ''Shin Koihime''
* IsntItSad -- Played on: Kakouen's left behind during the HotSpringsEpisode and feels left out; she even strikes the IsntItSad sitting position in the commercial break picture. Then, in the picnic scene of the final episode, it's her sister Kakouton's turn to get left behind
* JerkAss -- Chouun acts this way toward Kannu and Chouhi sometimes. [[spoiler:The fake Ryuubi, most definitely]]
* JerkassFacade -- Sousou pretends to be the RichBitch to hide her nice side, especially evident in the story with Bachou and her father; by the final episode, she even fulfills the {{tsundere}} requirements
* LargeHam -- When it comes to beating up bandits, Kannu loves announcing it with hams. Chouun's pretty good at making up fabulous stories and entrance speeches, too.
** Played hilariously in ''Shin Koihime'': when Chouun introduces Kannu to the bandits by "hamming her up" with embarrassing stuff, she gets a [[CranialEruption lump on the head]] from Kannu in response, the bopping hidden by a RelaxOVision)
* TheLawOfConservationOfDetail -- You have to be colorblind not to be able to tell who is or will be important
* LesYay -- All over the place. For one, ''two'' of the main characters are openly interested in other women
** In the {{OVA}} it's explicitly stated that Kannu and Chouhi are going out
*** Also in the {{OVA}}, Sousou upholds her [[PsychoLesbian reputation]] by going at it with Keifa on-screen
** Kakuka appears to be ''extremely'' [[TheNoseBleed enthralled by Sousou]].
* LettingHerHairDown -- Kannu normally keeps her hair in a side-ponytail, but she lets her hair down on a few occassions, and not just during bathing or sleeping.
** In ''Shin Koihime'' episode 5, apparently she forgot to tie her hair up after getting dressed after the hot springs scene, perhaps due to the mayhem caused by the attempted assassination on Sousou.
** Bachou also lets her usually tied up hair down in episode 3 of the first series when she wears a girly dress in one of Enshou's silly competitions.
* LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters -- If there's one thing ''KoihimeMusou'' inherits from the original novel, it's pretty much every episode introduces a new character right from the start
* LookBehindYou -- Played totally straight with [[EverythingsWorseWithBears an appearing bear]]
* LuckyCharmsTitle -- Actually, the show's title is "Koihime'''†'''Musou"
* LuminescentBlush -- Most evident on Kannu
* [[strike:ManipulativeBastard]] [[ManipulativeBastard Bastard]] -- [[spoiler:There's nothing great about the fake Ryuubi, other than cowardice]]
* {{Meganekko}} -- Shuyu and Rikuson, but Koumei also sports a pair in some SuperDeformed sequences. ''Shin Koihime'' introduces Kakuka, as well as Ryomou, who's unique in that she wears a monocle
* {{Meido}} -- Meido cafes in AncientChina = win...or not, especially when Ryoufu attempts to work in one
* {{Mooks}} -- The bandits exist solely for the purpose of having their asses handed to them by the heroines ''in every damn engagement''
* MushroomSamba -- Bachou gets a trip from eating a psychedelic mushroom in the mountains. [[YumYum She's got an interesting way of eating them, too]]
* MyNameIsNotDurwood -- Ryuubi can't remember [[strike:Paipai]] Pairen's name
* MysteriousProtector -- Played with by Chouun; unfortunately, it doesn't work out too well
* NamesToKnowInAnime -- While the girls are voiced by new, perhaps unheard-of seiyuus, the guys, with the exception of Kazuto, has veterans to speak of, which includes:
** TomokazuSeki -- [[spoiler:Fake Ryuubi]]
** TakehitoKoyasu -- Ukitsu (Yu Ji)
** HikaruMidorikawa -- Saji
*** *looks at above seiyuu* [[RelationshipVoiceActor uh oh]].
** NobuyukiHiyama -- Kata Genka
** NorioWakamoto -- A genderflipped Chousen, the {{expy}} of Diao Chan, a macho-looking, flamboyant man who could really pass as a ''Cho Aniki'' character. He wears a pink speedo and constantly twinkles...*shudder*
** Yosuke Akimoto (AKA [[GGundam Master Asia]]) -- A genderflipped Himiko, with as much NightmareFuel and HardGay-ism with Chousen
** A blink and you'll miss it: the seiyu for ''Shin Koihime's'' Ryuubi also voices Mizuki from [[EfAFairyTaleOfTheTwo Ef: A Tale Of Melodies]] as well as Mika Nogizaka from ''NogizakaHarukaNoHimitsu'' (second season is also running with ''Shin Koihime'')
* NiceHat - Worn by some of the girls, most prominently Sonken. The majority of the girls get one in the visual novel's harem ending
* NightmareFuel -- You may be at least a bit squeamish at Bachou's appearance in episode eleven...
** Or anything Chousen and Himiko...''really''...
* NoblewomansLaugh -- Enshou
* {{Nosebleed}} -- Happens to Kakuka in ''Shin Koihime'' at the slightest perverted thought. So frequently in fact that she's often found passed out on the ground in a pool of blood and mistaken for dead
* OhCrap -- OVA: [[spoiler:when Enshou wins the student council president election, she realizes she has to be kissed by Chousen after that]]
* OnlyOneName -- Simultaneously played straight and subverted: all characters have their family names mashed together with their given ones, but each has at least two ''more'' given ones
* [[OnlySaneMan Only Sane Girl]] -- Koumei
* OnlySixFaces -- The recurring bandit gangs parody this: the same three bandits -- a short guy, a fat guy and a skinny guy seem to be in charge of ''every'' bandit gang, but they never recognize the main characters
* [[spoiler:OneSteveLimit -- Subverted somewhat in the anime: the false Ryuubi stole the [[AncestralWeapon real Ryuubi's sword]] and name to try to become famous. The real Ryuubi appears in ''Shin'' trying to find said stolen blade to regain her lineage (and to stop her mother from throwing her into a river). Cue Kouchuu and Bacho barging in weapons ablazing at Ryuubi, thinking it's the fake]]
* PaperThinDisguise -- After being separated from the group, Chouun reappears during a BigDamnHeroes moment in episode seven wearing a [[BusouRenkin Papillion Mask]]; it only fools Chouhi
** In the game, however, she manages to fools ''everyone'', sans Koumei and Kazuto, while in the second, it becomes a fad when Chouun gets Koumei and Ryoufu to wear similar masks. Even Chousen joins in the fun
** The mask returns in the ''Shin Koihime'' TV series, but heads into LesYay territory when Ryuubi is so fooled that she becomes enamoured with "Butterfly Mask" and blatantly tells the later undisguised Chouun of such
* ParentalAbandonment -- Sonsaku's mom dies early on, so she has some...issues
* PinkBishoujoGhetto -- ...Until Ryuubi shows up[[spoiler:...and then it goes back to being one after he leaves]]
* PrincessCurls -- Enshou and Sousou
* PromotionToParent -- Kannu actually tries to ''avoid'' this at all costs, but everyone she meets keeps [[IsThatCuteKidYours thinking she's Chouhi's mother]]
** When she convinces others she isn't, people usually start seeing their relationship [[GirlsLove in a totally different light]], which she finds even ''worse''
* PsychoLesbian -- Sousou [[RapeAsComedy doesn't take no for an answer]], although later on she gets presented [[JerkassFacade somewhat more positively]].
* PuppyDogEyes -- Seems to be Toutaku's special technique...it's unbeatable by normal means
** Especially amusing since her {{expy}} is Dong Zhuo, a cruel, tyrannical ruler. Admittedly, her "special technique" is still quite evil
* PutOnABus -- Chouun during the mid-season, but subverted once the bus pulls into the station for the finale
* RantInducingSlight -- Kouchuu, in her rant on how she's going to torture the fake Ryuubi, complete with demonic FacialMarkings
* RapeAsComedy -- Sousou has the habit of coercing girls into sex with her, which is mostly played for laughs and titillation.
* RapunzelHair -- Many of the cast have hair ranging from waist length to reaching the ground even from full standing height, though some, particularly the longest, are kept in ponytails. [[spoiler:In the ''Shin Koihime'' game, Sonken's hair reaches ground level, but she [[ImportantHaircut shears it off]] after Sonsaku dies]]
* RelaxOVision -- Used humorously for concealment of certain "stuff".
** Once in the OVA when the announcers tried to explain why "Butterfly Mask" was in Chouun's place in one of the contests in that they are in fact the same persion; the trope cuts the conversation short (implying it was supposed to be a secret) and the show proceeds to a much later scene
** Used again in the ''Shin Koihime'' anime when Chouun is introducing Kannu to the bandits and starts saying something really embarrassing about her. [[RelaxOVision ROV]] cuts the talk short; moments later, the scene returns with Chouun now sporting a [[CranialEruption lump on her head]]
* TheRival -- Chouhi positions herself as one to Koumei, with all due {{subtext}}
* {{Sarashi}} -- Chouryou comes with them included, even when she's dressed as a {{Meido}}, and even in the OVA worn under her jacket (or it even serves as her only upper garment when she carries her jacket slung over her shoulder).
* SeeYouInHell -- Chouun says it to Kannu before facing off against an overwhelming force of bandits on a very narrow cliff
* {{Seinen}}
* {{Seme}} -- Chouun asks Chouhi and Kannu which of them is the "seme" and "{{uke}}", clearly having her own ideas of their sisterhood, which doesn't help Kannu when Chouhi states she'd rather be the seme of the two
** Then, in the episode nine preview, Kouchuu "teaches" other girls that blond curls -- Sousou are for the seme, while a side ponytail -- Kannu is for the uke. Man, they really aren't subtle about this, are they?
* SeriousBusiness -- Eel sandwiches, apparently the main source of strife in the OVA
* ShoutOut -- Chouun explains she became "Kachou Kamen" by dying, meeting with {{Ultraman}} and getting resurrected. [[spoiler:It's a lie, of course]]
** Chouun herself may be an ShoutOut to [[NeonGenesisEvangelion Rei Ayanami]]. Both have blue hair, red eyes and Chouun's spear suspiciously resembles the Lance of Longinus
*** Appearance-only though, considering her personality is about as far on the other side of [[ExtremeDoormat Rei]]'s
** Also Kata Genka... [[strike:[[GaoGaigar HIKARI]]]] [[GaoGaiGar GENKI NI NAREEEEE!!!!]]
** One of the spells used by the Chou sisters bears a remarkable resemblance to the [[{{Slayers}} Dragon Slave.]]
* ShowSomeLeg -- Chouun plays this straight in episode two
** Repeated in episode eight with Enshou, except she strips completely down to her underwear
* SleepCute -- Chouhi effectively blackmails Kannu into this, at first
* SmugSnake -- [[spoiler: fake Ryuubi]]
* SpikesOfVillainy -- Chouryou's ''hairband'', though she isn't entirely evil...
* TheStrategist -- Koumei, unsurprisingly considering she's an expy of Zhuge Liang
* SuperDeformed -- Usually happens during light-hearted scenes, such as the ending video
* StraightArrow -- Kouchuu, who later has the ability to [[ImprobableAimingSkills take out multiple bandits in volleys]]
* TakeMyHand -- Kannu and Chouun pull this off in episode two
* TallDarkAndBishoujo -- Kannu, though Chouun matches the personality, too
* TeamMom -- Kannu, especially towards Chouhi and Koumei, but Kouchuu in the visual novel
* TheTease -- Chouun
* ThisTropeIsBleep -- In ''Shin Koihime'' episode 5, Kata starts diagnosing Sousou's illness which turns out to be constipation. He initially recommends surgery which Sousou absolutely refuses. When he then describers an alternative treatment though (use of acupuncture needles), it had some rather gratuitous connotations, and thus a great number of words in his speech are blocked out by sounds of clashing metal (whatever they were, Sousou was definitely [[BerserkButton not amused]]).
* ThisIsSPARTA -- Kata Genka insists that the name of the guild he's affiliated with be called out in the loudest and most dramatic fashion every time.
-->Koumei: Kata? Of The Way of the Five Grains?
-->Kata: NO!
-->Girls: Eh?
-->Kata: It's '''[[LargeHam THE WAY OF FIVE GRAINS!!]]'''
-->Girls: Oh.
-->Kata: It's very important to give it appropriate emphasis.
-->Koumei: I-I'll remember that...
-->Kannu: So, Shuri, what is the Way... I mean, '''[[LargeHam THE WAY OF FIVE GRAINS!!]]''' all about?
* TokenLoli -- Chouhi and later, Koumei
* TomeOfEldritchLore -- [[spoiler: In the ''Shin Koihime'' anime, there exists a magical book known as the Cruicial Keys to the Way of Peace. It sort of has a mind of its own, and thus even if used for good, will cause misfortune and strife. Currently in the possession of the Idol Singer trio and used by them to further their career, and being sought after by Kata to have it sealed away.]]
* TrademarkFavoriteFood -- Just makes sure you don't steal Chouun's leftover menma; she loves that stuff
* {{Tsundere}} -- There's at least one in every faction in the visual novel, but Bachou, Sousou and Sonken stand out the most. In the anime, Sousou tailors to this trope's requirements by the final episode
* UnwantedHarem -- Subverted: the series should enter the history of anime as [[strike: the first]] one of the few harems ''without'' a male lead to speak of. [[LesYay Hells yeah!!!]]
** But depending on your point of view, the visual novel plays this trope straight.
* VerbalTic -- Chouhi's "Nano da!"
* VolleyingInsults -- Enshou's team loves to engage Sousou's in such confrontations
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse -- In the OVA, [[spoiler:Kouchuu goes away as a commentator and gets replaced by her daughter... and it takes a BrickJoke after the credits to reveal where she is: [[FetishFuel locked and tied up inside a gym]] by god knows who]]
* WiseBeyondTheirYears -- Toutaku, and apparently, Koumei
* WittyBanter -- Chouun's just too good at it
* WorthyOpponent -- As much as she enjoys fights, Chouryou's only interested in fair ones
* WrenchWench -- Riten from ''Shin Koihime'', at least by appearance (it's not known exactly what she works on); made even hotter by her MostCommonSuperpower (which is HUGE for her build) and her {{Stripperiffic}} outfit.
* XanatosGambit -- Shuuyu pulls one off to expose the traitor in Sonsaku's family
* YouKilledMyFather -- Bachou tries to kill Sousou at one point for this
* YouShouldKnowThisAlready -- In a next episode preview within episode five, Kayuu claims the right to announce the episode title because she's going to "die early". In case you didn't know, Hua Xiong, whom she's based upon, ''did'' die early in the original epic
* YumYum -- A particularly gratuitous scene in the ''Shin Koihime'' anime involving candy
* YuriFanboy -- If you ain't one yet, this series ''will'' make you one
** Not to mention Chouun seems to think Kannu and Chouhi get along rather, er, well
* ZettaiRyouiki -- It's easier to say who ''doesn't'' wear it, namely, Chouhi and Keifa
