History Anime / MonColleKnights

* OurGodsAreGreater: Original version only, the Sea Giant is the god of the ocean and Coatl is the god of snakes.

''Rokumon Tengai Mon Colle Knights'' is a mediocre, but funny, low-budget anime that knew it was exactly just that. It can be considered a parody of various things, itself included. The show is gag-driven for the most part and deals with two "teams" traveling to an AlternateUniverse to gather six magical items that will enable them to connect their world with the Sixgate world. The lead characters, a MadScientist (Ichirobei Hiiragi) who recruited his daughter (Rockna Hiiragi) and her boyfriend (Mondo Ooya) as "Mon Colle Knights" compete with Prince (Ludwig Von Monsterstein) Eccentro and his lackeys, who try to gather the items to rule the world.

* BigBad: Reda

* Golem

* AntiHero: Zaha, Type: III

* AssimilationPlot: Redda's goal, original version only.

* FallenHero: Zaha again

* GhostLights: Rockna's introduction, Japanese version only.

* HotBloodedSideburns: Professor Hiragi.

* KnightOfCerebus: Zaha and Redda, especially Redda.

* NoCartoonFish: arguably irrelevant, since most monsters are drawn realistically.
* NotSoDifferent: Dr Hiragi and Prince Eccentro, as shown in the first episode.

* ParentalAbandonment; Original version only : Rokuna's mother left cause she was bored, leaving Rokuna to tend to the household and an work obsessed dad, much of her early years were lonely.

* PuniPlush: Mainly with the child characters. Slightly less so with certain others such as Namiko-sensei, Bacchi, and Guuko. Not present at all with most other characters.

* SomethingAboutARose: [[CampStraight Pr]][[CampGay in]][[AmbiguouslyGay ce]] [[{{Bishonen}} Eccentro]]/[[TheDandy Collection]] has a massive rose fetish. Never poses without one, [[StockPoses and he poses a lot]]. He's so involved with roses that he even ''fails'' in roses, as the mushroom cloud after his ship crashes always assumes the shape of a wilting rose.

* WorldOfHam: In the dub, at least, and most of it is provided by Dr. Hiragi and [[strike:Count Collection]] Prince Eccentro. The original version is pretty heavy on it too, at one point Mondo and Hiragi deliberately get loud and hammy to escape eating Rockna's food.

* {{Tsundere}}: Batch, and Rockna mixes it with YanDere.

* TerribleTrio: Count Collect/Prince Eccentro, Bacchi/Batch and Guuko/Gluko, who else?

* LullDestruction: One instance where this actually works is during the launch sequence. Normally, this would be {{Padding}}, but Saban added a RunningGag where Gluko would ask a long and logical question that Eccentro and Batch would eventually bore of and say "Never mind, Gluko!"

* CloudCuckooLander: (Gluko)

* LesYay: Batch and Gluko.

* AssimilationPlot: Reda's goal, original version only.

* CoolHouse: The Hiiragi's place has that [[ElaborateUndergroundBase gigantic underground lab]] that shifts the surrounding urban area every time for takeoff. Then there's Prince Eccentro's SupervillainLair, which is a BigFancyCastle complete with hangar and pool.

* GhostLights: Rokuna's introduction, Japanese version only.

* HopeSpot: Reda practically makes it a sport.

* HotBloodedSideburns: Professor Hiiragi.

* ManipulativeBastard: Reda

* NotSoDifferent: Dr Hiragii and Count Collection, as shown in the first episode.

* ZettaiRyouiki: Rokuna.

* ATwinkleIntheSky

* DubInducedPlotHole: Several, but most notably the entire show's premise.

* HereWeGoAgain: [[spoiler: In the end Redda and Oroboros are defeated, but all the collected Monmon Items are destroyed. New ones are then scattered across once again, leaving the heroes and villains exactly where they started.]]

* HellishPupils: played straight and subverted; good monsters can also have evil eyes.

* CatSmile: Rokuna from time to time.
* CloudCuckooLander: (Guuko)

* CosmicHorror: Oroboros after Reda gained control of it.

* KnightOfCerebus: Zaha and Reda, especially Reda.

* LullDestruction: One instance where this actually works is during the launch sequence. Normally, this would be {{Padding}}, but Saban added a RunningGag where Gluko would ask a long and logical question that Eccentro/collection and Batch would eventually bore of and say "Never mind, Gluko!" At other times it is less effective, particularly during more serious moments or when characters speech doesn't match their lip movement.

* RealMenWearPink (Chuzaemon and his cat grooming and ballet. He actually wears a pink tutu.}}

* ShooOutTheClowns : Oddly averted. The Terrible Trio remains almost entirely out of sight of the heroes during all the drama of the finale, being deliberately shooed in the wrong direction. They end up carrying a vital plot coupon to the Big Bad and thereby more or less accidentally start the apocalypse.
* ShoutOut (During a discussion over a good line to say while leaping out of a burning car, Mondo suggests "Rats! I left my Digimon: The Movie CD in there!". The English cast worked on Digimon.)

* LullDestruction: One instance where this actually works is during the launch sequence. Normally, this would be {{Padding}}, but Saban added a RunningGag where Gluko would ask a long and logical question that Eccentro/collection and Batch would eventually bore of and say "Never mind, Gluko!"
