History Anime / Endride

-->Shun: "Have you seen a guy with a feather sticking out of his hat? Or this guy who kind of looks like a girl?"

* EvenTheGuysWantHim: Demetrio. To be fair, he is charming, heroic and has a very nice hat.

[[caption-width-right:350:[[HollowWorld Endora]]: where [[ImpossiblyCoolWeapon unusual weapons]] go hand in hand with [[BareYourMidriff unusual tan lines]].]]

* BareYourMidriff: A staple of men's fashion in Endora. See: Emilio, Delzaine, Guidoro, and Gradido among others.

* ByThePowerOfGreyskull: Parodied when Shun arrives in Endora and discovers he has a [[SpontaneousWeaponCreation Warp Relic]]. He immediately names it [[{{Nerd}} Excalibur]] and tries to call it forth like he's in a henshin scene, even though that's not how it works. Emilio tries to get him to shut up because the shouting does nothing and only calls attention to them as they try to escape.

* EvenTheGuysWantHim: Demetrio. To be fair, he is charming, heroic and has a very NiceHat.

* NiceHat: Demetrio has a very nice HatOfAuthority with a green feather sticking out of it.

* KnifeNut: Both Felix and Mischa are intense, dangerous people and quick with the knives.

* LongHairedPrettyBoy: Oh, is Eljuia ever pretty. The RapunzelHair unquestionably contributes to the DudeLooksLikeALady effect in-universe.

* HumanMomNonhumanDad: Louise's parents, who endured a MalignedMixedMarriage despite the discrimination and punishment it brought on them.

* TeamPet: Alicia's Warp Relic, Falarion, which mostly seems like a [[SmallAnnoyingCreature Small Annoying Dragon]] until the reveal [[FridgeHorror that her missing father's soul is sealed inside it]].

* WorthyOpponent: Guidoro to Demetrio, which is why he invites him to join the Ignauts once Delzaine is gone and the Truculent disbanded.
* ZettaiRyouiki: A staple of women's fashion in Endora. See: Louise and Alicia.

* FantasticRacism: Zoozians[[labelnote:*]]a race of PettingZooPeople[[/labelnote]] are more powerful but less populous than Endras[[labelnote:*]]basically humans[[/labelnote]], so the Endras used their superior numbers to force them into doing the worst labour. Endras tend to instinctively fear Zoozians, while Zoozians feel justified distrust towards the Endras.

* PettingZooPeople: Zoozians, although they show a very broad range from more humanoid to more animalistic (and in one odd case, more robotic). They come in every kind of animal form, some more aquatic and some more land-based.

* Precursors: Some kinda aliens created Endora and it's technological marvels, then apparently [[NeglectfulPrecursors departed to places unknown]].

* LongLostRelative: Shun and Emilio are revealed to be siblings.

'Endride' is a 2016 [[TrappedInAnotherWorld portal fantasy]] anime by Creator/BrainsBase, directed under Keiji Goto, written by Creator/ToukoMachida and with character designs by Creator/KazushiHagiwara and Creator/NobuhiroWatsuki.

* InsaneForgiveness: Demetrio and Eljuia are willing to forgive not only [[TheMole Louise]], but also [[EnemyMine Guidoro]] who actually has the death of other Ignauts on his hands. This is because they are both [[TheIdealist idealists]], and Demetrio particularly believes that {{revenge}} doesn't solve problems, working with others for a joint cause does.

* UndyingLoyalty: Most of the Ignauts have this toward Demetrio, but especially Felix and Mischa who go out of their way to distrust people on his behalf because he tends to be [[InsaneForgiveness quick to mercy]].

* LaResistance: The Ignauts are a revolutionary army seeking an ideally non-violent overthrow of the kingship in hopes of more equality and support for the disadvantaged. When Delzaine dies, they become something of a temporary peacekeeping militia instead.

* LesCollaborateurs: The Truculent are a team of five members from a race disadvantaged by King Delzaine's rule but nonetheless on his payroll, whose job involves eliminating threats and undermining movements like the [[LaResistance Ignauts]].

* TheQuietOne: Felix and Mischa. Both people of few words and great loyalty to Demetrio.
* QuirkyMinibossSquad: The Truculent, who are the main opponents of the Ignauts up until Babylon, when Louise defects properly and Ibelda slaughters their other teammates.

* WhamLine: In Episode 19. "Do you not understand, Shun? You were... [[IAmNotYourFather never my son]]. *gunshot*"

* ParentalSubstitute: Emilio has two: he first idolized Delzaine and referred to him as "father," until he learned that Delzaine might have killed his real father, at which point he became angry and resentful. He then met Pascal, who became his second parental substitute, only for Delzaine to exile Pascal for his disapproval of the Babylon plan. Pascal then spends the first cour using his parental substitute role to try to talk Emilio out of killing his first parental substitute, and [[TearJerker comforting him in his grief when Delzaine is killed by Ibelda instead]].

[[caption-width-right:350:Improbable weapons to go with improbable tan lines.]]

* AndThenWhat: Multiple people, including Delzaine himself, level this one at Emilio, but none more so than Demetrio. Emilio is so consumed by RevengeBeforeReason that he gives no thought to what's going to happen to the kingdom once the king is dead--a concern the older cast members take much more seriously.

* BackToBackBadasses: Appears frequently, but never more so than Emilio and Shun who tend to fight in tandem and cover for each other's weak spots.

* BrickJoke: As revenge for trying to booby-trap him into having a vision, Eljuia fake prophesizes that Shun can go home if he finds an Endora bluebird, which leads him right through his own trap. Out of earshot, Felix comments no such species exists. Several episodes later, Gradido gives the Ignauts a whistle and gets Shun to blow on it, summoning a blue-feathered bird which they can use to communicate. Shun's first reaction is to ask "Is this one of those Endora bluebirds?"

* CoolBigSis: Louise takes this role opposite Alicia's sweet GirlNextDoor archetype.
* TheCynic: Louise, whose [[FantasticRacism half-Zoozian status]]] has given her a lot of reason to see the worst in humanity.

* FantasticRacism: Zoozians (PettingZooPeople) are more powerful but less populous than Endras (basically humans), so the Endras used their superior numbers to force them into doing the worst labour. Endras tend to instinctively fear Zoozians, while Zoozians feel justified distrust towards the Endras.

* GirlyBruiser: Louise claims to be sick of only hanging around men [[note]](although she's trying to get information from Alicia, at the time)[[/note]] but she's frank, energetic and the most physically powerful teammate the Ignauts have, courtesy of her Zoozian heritage.
* HalfHumanHybrid: Louise is half-Zoozian, and although she has been able to pass as fully human because of her appearance, she grew up facing the discrimination and censure that was brought upon her parents due to FantasticRacism.

* LaResistance: The Ignauts, a revolutionary army seeking an ideally non-violent overthrow of the kingship, in hopes of more equality and supported for the disadvantaged. When Delzaine dies, they become something of a temporary peacekeeping militia instead.
* LesCollaborateurs: The Truculent, five members of a race disadvantaged by King Delzaine's rule, but nonetheless on his payroll, whose job involves eliminating threats and undermining LaResistance.

* NonActionGuy: One of the first things we learn about Eljuia is that he has no fighting skills. His Warp Relic is a protective cloth barrier so he can use it to prevent someone landing a blow, but almost always when there's a fight he's standing in the background carefully watching things unfold.

* PettingZooPeople: Zoozians, although they show a very broad range from more humanoid to more animalistic (and in one odd case, more robotic). They come in every kind of form you could imagine, some more aquatic and some more land-based.

* SpontaneousWeaponCreation: Warp Relics. Nobody knows what dictates who gets them, but they are weapons of all descriptions that can be summoned by people of any race, may level up with use, and are generally considered a prestige item. However, their usefulness can vary (see Eljuia, whose Warp Relic is a protective cloth rather than a weapon) and ultimately depends on the wielder (see Demetrio, who has no Warp Relic but kicks everybody's ass).
* SuperHumanTrafficking: [[SpontaneousWeaponCreation Warp Relics]] are common, but not universal, which leads to a slave trade of child assassins groomed for their magical fighting capabilities.
* ThisIsSomethingHesGotToDoHimself: Demetrio stops Eljuia from interfering with his fight with Louise, presumably because he thinks he'll be more effective bringing her back around to their side if it's just one-on-one, and also because he was the one who let her stay even though he knew she was TheMole.

* TrappedInAnotherWorld: Technically, Endora is the inside of our own world (a kind of Shamballa), but Shun is sucked into in by a crystal and spends the rest of the series trying to figure out how to get back to the surface.

* {{Tykebomb}}: Child assassins are kidnapped or taken from the streets, emotionally broken and brainwashed, and then trained to use their powers to kill and sold to the highest bidder. Demetrio manages to successfully [[DefusingTheTykebomb defuse Mischa]] by besting her, breaking her collar and offering her the chance to change her future.
* UndyingLoyalty: Most of the Ignauts have this toward Demetrio, but especially Felix and Mischa who go out of their way to distrust people on his behalf because he tends to be quick to mercy.

* VolleyingInsults: Shun and Emilio's favourite past-time.

* WelcomeBackTraitor: Happens with Louise although played with in that while Demetrio and Eljuia are willing to grant her [[EasilyForgiven easy forgiveness]], Mischa and Felix explicitly aren't, and Louise's guilty conscious is somewhat eased by ''someone'' holding her accountable for what she's done.

* WorthyOpponent: Guidoro to Demetrio, which is why he invites him to join the Ignauts once Delzaine is gone and the Truculent disbanded.
