History Anime / MarginalNumber4

* FourLeafClover: During the group's first training camp, R had started to look for four leaf clovers along his usual running route, but was unable to find a single one. When he went back to that area 2 years later however, he had better [[IncrediblyLamePun luck]]. That episode's ending theme, "Colorful", also had four leaf clovers as a motif.

--> ''I’m drowning in your charms concealed in the moon’s abyss tonight''\\

* SurprisinglyGoodEnglish: When [=Magi4=] and Unicorn are trying to get Atom not to leave the group to star in a Hollywood movie, one of their plans is to all speak English, so that Atom would realize he doesn't want to go to Hollywood. They say they're practicing because they want to do a world tour.
** L got to show off his English skills in Episode 6 when he was reading an English passage for class. His pronunciation is off, but it's grammatically correct.

''Marginal #4: Kiss Kara Tsukuru Big Bang'' (''Marginal #4: A Big Bang Created From a Kiss'') is a 2017 [[TwelveEpisodeAnime 12-Episode]] BandToon produced by Creator/JCStaff, adapting the Pythagoras Productions characters from the ''Marginal #4'' series by Creator/{{Rejet}}. It aired in the Winter2017Anime season.

* StaticCharacter: All the character development and plot progression that it took for the characters to finally start settling into their roles is left behind in this adaptation (since the majority of it happened as they were doing idol work and preparing for [=UniverseFES=]), only having them with their base characteristics for now.

* AndNowForSomethingCompletelyDifferent: The entire eighth episode is an in-universe crime drama television special, played out by the boys of Pythagoras Productions. The ninth episode went back and forth between R's flashback of the origin of Magi 4 and Magi 4 going back to the camp where they first met.

** Episode 11 has Atom be invited to join the cast of the newest ''Galaxy Samurai'' season, with footage that looks exactly like a ''Franchise/StarWars'' film and a logo that looks like a riff on the ''Film/GuardiansOfTheGalaxy'' movie.

* NondescriptClub: The Marginal boys' club was really made so that the four can gather together in school, in true Nondescript Club fashion. The first episode was pretty much devoted to trying to give the club a purpose, and they do perform some club activities in-show, but the club itself is very vague.

* TheHeart: Episode 9 establishes how R became the group's leader in their starting days. Over time, he began to speak up whenever any of the members started fighting and tried to come up with solutions, and started to become more proactive in getting the team to work together by having them do various exercises. It's for this reason why the Director saw leadership potential in him even [[HeroicSelfDeprecation he doesn't see it in himself]], and why none of the other members object to her opinion after they get back from the training camp.

* [[invoked]]ColbertBump: The penguin {{Mascot}} toy that Rui keeps on his bed eventually received tons of attention when the press did a feature on the boys' rooms. Originally, it was just the focal character of a kid's show that was't all that popular, but after the toy was spotted in one of Rui's pictures for a magazine, sales for this once obscure show and toy went through the roof.

* ADayInTheLimelight: Each member or group gets their own episode, exemplified by the fact that they sing their episode's ending song[[note]]The exceptions are episodes 10 and 12; Episode 10 is Atom's ImageSong, but that episode had less to do with him and more with the Pythagoras boys in general. Episode 12 is his token episode, but the song is sung by all of the Pythagoras groups[[/note]]:

** Episode 5 centers on Rui, and tries to dig into his stoic personality to find out about his childhood pastimes and his relationship with his older sister.

** Episode 7 was about L's dependency issues with R, and how much of a hard worker he is.
** Episode 9 is about R's leadership development in the early days of Marginal#4, and how he managed to bring them together despite his shortcomings in comparison to his group.
** Episode 12 is a better look into Atom's character, showing off his recklessness and straightforward attitude.

* CharacterDevelopment: Of all the characters, Rui changed the most notably; going from a reserved but friendly young man to being more open about his feelings and learning to take different mindsets and apply them to his own.

** Atom was offered a role in the next ''Galaxy Samurai'' film, obviously referencing ''Film/StarWars''.
