History Anime / Ozuma

* ImpliedLoveInterest - Captain Bainas responds in such a way everytime she remembers Dick, that she thought very highly of him.[[Spoiler:And in the final scene with Gido where she questions whether he's Gido or Dick and he responds with the goodbye he gave her before he left, her eyes and voice pretty much say it all.]]

** [[spoiler: Gido himself is an example, having taken over the body of Dick, Sam's older brother (and possibly Bainas' lover). This also leads to his HeelFaceTurn at the very end, when getting injured in the head lets Dick back in control of his body.]]

* BelligerentSexualTension - Sam and Mimay.

* BottleFairy - the ships medical officer, Dr. Luna. Possibly a ShoutOut to the perpetually drunk Dr. Zero, medical officer of the [[CaptainHarlock Arcadia]].

* MemeticMutation - "Captain Charlock" for Gido, due to the fact that he [[ReusedCharacterDesign looks like]] [[CaptainHarlock Harlock]] minus the scars but with [[MobileSuitGundam Char Aznable's]] mask.

* SandWorm - the titular Ozma.

* HostageSituation: A rare case where it's the (supposedly) good guys who pull one: Bainas submerges her ship to escape Gido, and while taking Maya in it. Gido plants some under-sand tremor detector and prepare his ships to shoot at the slightest under-sand movement detected. Bainas turns off all the ships-machine to go silent. [[TruthInTelevision This makes the ship's internal as hot as oven since the AC is not functioning, and Maya's very weak body can barely endure the heat]]. This forces Gido to decide whether to abandon the scene without Maya, or wait until Bainas' crew surrender, possibly with a dead Maya onboard. In the end Gido decides to let them go.

* TechnoBabble: There's lots of it, many of which are real naval terms. And the sand-submerge technology isn't entirely implausible.

** Explained by the Bardanos being able to generate a field that makes sand act like water.

Ozuma takes place in a future Earth where, due to an increase in temperature of the Sun, the Eartch as we know it has dried up and turned into a harsh desert planet. The story follows Sam Coin a young man that's part of a rag-tag band of sand pirates who dreams of one day catching an "Ozma," one of the legendary giant sand-whales. Along the way, he meets up with the mysterious Maya who's being chased by Theseus army. His act of rescuing her and bringing her onto their ship starts them on an adventure involving fanatical governments, pirates, [[CoolShip cool ships]] and an earth shattering mystery - in other words, it's a typical Matsumoto story, except that it's set on a desert planet instead of in space.

* SandIsWater - Substituting for SpaceIsAnOcean in Matsumotos other works.

** Mimay is the exception to the rule being a main female who looks nothing like Matsumoto's previous female leads, despite sharing the name with a character from CaptainHarlock.

** Gido is [[CaptainHarlock Harlock]]
