Funny / The Ketsueki Quadrilogy

As dark as the series could get, there also a couple of laughs along the way. They go here:

Chishio No Me

• The Running Gag of mugs getting broken (usually by Rose, throwing them at Raiden).
  • It gets to the point, where in Chapter 52, Ken, Yun, Cody and Cassandra, have to steal new mugs from the dinning quarters.…which they all accidentally smash, before having to flee empty handed.
• How Dan gets invited to the tournament. One of the invitations of the girl foursome falls on the ground, where it's eventually discovered by Dan, who naturally believes is for him, despite Chapter 9 revealing it was clearly listed for Sakura.
  Sakura: So that's where it went.
• During their boat ride, in Chapter 9, Sakura & co. accidentally bump into a man. After apologizing, the stranger walks away, before revealing himself to be Ryu. Sakura, immediately tries to chase after him.
  Sakura: Wait…did he say Ryu?
  Mika: Um, yeah. Why?
  Sakura: *starts running off* Come back Ryu!
• After selecting his Chosen Ones, Raiden summons them all to him, in order to brief them of the situation with Outworld. Among the ones chosen, is Ibuki, who was currently in her underwear. She's naturally horrified at her situation, causing the men to immediately avert their gazes, under the threat of Asuka beating them all up.
• Chapter 11 finally marks the beginning of Raiden and Rose Belligerent Sexual Tension. To add to that, while Kilik, Xianghua, and Maxi finally join the heroes...this happens.
  Rose: And what's with that stupid hat anyways?
  Raiden: It's called a rice harvester for your information! And why do you have a camel's toe?
  Rose: *enraged* YOU MAKE ME SO ANGRY! What was I thinking when I teamed up with YOU?
  * Raiden throws a lightning bolt at the newcomers...*
  Maxi: RUN!
• In the midst of their argument, Yun tries to talk with the two of them, only to be met by a fierce Get Out!, from the both of them. What makes it funnier, is the reason he tried to talk to them.
  Yun: I was only trying to ask Raiden and Rose if they had change for a dollar!
  Yin: What do you need change for?
  Yun: Well, I figured that they had vending machines in the palace-
  Raiden: *from the back of the cave* THERE ARE NO VENDING MACHINES IN OUTWORLD!
• Before his match, Sonya decides to check up on Wagner in his room. They are both in their underwear at the moment, though just as Sonya is about to leave, Wagner trips at grabs hold of Sonya's pajama pants, accidentally ripping them apart. Sonya, understandably angry at the sudden turn, retaliates by stealing Wagner's jeans and wearing them, for the duration of the day. Wagner tries to find a different pair of jeans to wear, only to discover that one of his army friends has stolen them all, leaving him with nothing but a pair of sweatpants, that he hasn't worn in years. Not helping matters, is the large amount of attention they get him, from many of the female onlookers, including his opponent Myra.
  • And just before the fight, he eagerly awaits to see who'll fight next. Guile tries to tell him that it could very well be him, to which Wagner doesn't believe will happen.
    Cammy: {Myra} looks easy to beat. Too bad, I'm not fighting until tomorrow.
    Wagner: Yeah. However, seeing that so many men like her, I'm going to feel sorry for the one male to has to fight her…
    Shadow Priest: Wagner!
    Wagner: …Oh good, I'm the lucky one.
• Having just won her first match, Cammy decides to reward herself, with a trip to the local Hot Spring. She soon strips down and is all ready to enjoy herself…and accidentally walks into the Men's section, where she finds Jin Kazama, in all his glory. After processing what's happened, she quickly apologizes and exits, leaving Jin in a momentary state of Dull Surprise.
• Even after winning his first match, poor Dan doesn't get any respect.

  Dan: Remember everyone, think pink!
  Audience member: You still suck!

• Chapter 15 contains a clock-full of funny moments. To begin with...
  • After the first round of the tournament, Cody, Ken, Lei, McCoy, Wagner and Yang, decide to relax with some Outworld liquor…
    McCoy: Now, let’s not drink too much because we might get in trouble.
    Lei: You said it!
    * Twenty Minutes Later*
    Cody: Whoaaaa! I see coloooooors…
    Wagner: I feel GREAT! I loooove hard liquor!
    Yang: Me TOO!
    Ken: I can’t feel feelings…I wonder if that’s a goooood thing.
    McCoy: *singing* I’ve been wooooorking ooooon the raiiiilroaaaad!
    Lei: *attempts to dance the Marcarena, but fails as he falls back in the sand* Heeelp, I’m drowniiing!
  • And when Rose reprimands the group, Raiden on the other hand...
    Rose: What kind of influences will you be to your future children? You are the defenders of the realms for crying out loud!
    Raiden: Yeah, and how dare you did not invite the Thunder God to drink with you!
  • It also has a bit of a Big-Lipped Alligator Moment, where Paul ends up fighting an alien.
  • How Cassandra joins the heroes. Bored out of her mind, she walks through the forest only to find the hot springs...and Ibuki, Maki, Sakura, Asuka and Maki peeping at the boys. The funny part? Xianghua catches them red-handed and they quickly stumble on the fence, making it collapse and surprising the men inside.
• Raiden, accidentally calling Rose a psycho instead of a psychic, thus starting a reoccurring gag between the two. Made even funnier, when the author revealed this was originally a typo, that she decided to leave in.
• In Chapter 20, Cammy & Lita stumble upon Jin, shortly after taking a bath. He and Cammy have a rather awkward reunion, before going their seperate ways. Lita, not knowing about their previous encounter, starts teasing Cammy about it, even jokingly declaring: “I bet you’ve already seen him naked!”, causing her friend to get completely flustered and run off.

• In an attempt at getting Ivy to open up, Yoshimitsu pays her a visit, with an offering. A Pepperoni Pizza. Being from a different realm, set in a completely different era, Ivy is rather unimpressed & skeptical, though eventually warms up to it.

  Ivy: …But I suppose trying it is better than not eating at all.
  Yoshimitsu: In that case, would you be willing to try san-nakji in the future?
  Ivy: The…what?
  Yoshimitsu: ...Never mind. One thing at a time, I suppose.

• Bruce Irwin's interviews with Quan-Chi's minions have only one good one for Kira, and otherwise one disaster after another.
  • His interview with Rain is mostly just the Prince boasting about his divine lineage. Once Bruce finally asks him about the Four, Rain sheepishly admits to knowing nothing. Kazuya snarks that he can clearly tell from this, why he and Tanya have a complicated relationship.
  • Vega bounty states that he doesn't know and doesn't care.
  • Motaro spends the entire interview furiously badmouthing the shokans, declaring the centaurians as the superior race, much to the tired frustration of Bruce.
  • Skarlet just asks if she can have some of Bruce's blood. Which he immediately declines.
    Skarlet: I know nothing. I’m tired. May I have some of your blood?
    Bruce: No
    Skarlet: Not even a sip?”
    Bruce: ...This interview is over.
  • Mavado threatens to kill him, when Bruce innocently asks if he has any family or significant other, causing the Red Dragon member to believe he's threatening him.
• There is a running gag throughout the story, of Cyrax wanting to get his revenge on Johnny Cage for the awful Ninja Mime movie, intending to strike whenever the actor least expects it. This is brought up in a humorous way in Chapter 34, where Johnny Cage attempts to pay Cyrax back for the ticket, which he refuses, exasperatingly saying that it was just a bad movie. Which leads to a fun argument between him, Cyrax and Lei over why the film was awful…until Abel chimes in that he actually loved the money, much to Johnny's delight.
• Chapter 34 has Cody introduce his friend Alex to Alex Walker with some humorous results.

  Cody: Alex, this is Alex. Alex…This is Alex.”
  Alex the wrestler: ...You’ve been waiting since day one to do that, haven’t you
  Cody: Maybe.”

• Alex & Wagner face off against Alisa in the third round, and get completely blindsided and shocked, by her various robotic parts. In particular, Wagner has a mini-freakout moment when she hands him her head, before it explodes in his face.
• In Chapter 39, Alisa finally decides to tell the girls what she really is, revealing that she's an android. Everyone is surprised…except Cassandra, who living in a medieval-era Realm, has no idea what an Android is. When asked, Xiaoyu quickly explains that it's a type of robot, which doesn't clear things up.
  • Alisa attempts to further explain by casually removing her head, causing all the girls to run away in fear, while she desperately chases after them. To add onto the hilarity, Hwang, Yun-seong, Hwoarang, and Seong Mi-na stumble upon the sight, with an ineffectual Hwoarang quickly putting the pieces together much to his mates surprises.
  • Happens again later in the same chapter, when the boys catch Paul, Marshall, Yoshimitsu, Cyrax, Lars, Lee, and Forest all running away from an enraged Scorpion, who's fiery skull is clearly exposed.
• During his fight in Chapter 40, Cyrax's opponent makes a crack to him about looking like a steampunk bottle of mustard. He cracks back by asking if he's yellow or Djion, insisting it makes a huge difference.
