History Film / RoboGeisha

''RoboGeisha'' is the story of two sisters: Kikuyakko "Kikue" Kagusa, a geisha who is renowned for her beauty, and Yoshie Kagusa, who works as a servant in the same teahouse as Kikuyakko. Yoshie suffers near constant abuse at the hands of her elder sister, who derides her lack of grace and potential for becoming a Geisha at every opportunity. While Yoshie for the most part tries to take this treatment in stride, at times her rage boils over and manifests itself in almost-superhuman feats of strength.

''Robo Geisha'' is the story of two sisters: Kikuyakko "Kikue" Kagusa, a geisha who is renowned for her beauty, and Yoshie Kagusa, who works as a servant in the same teahouse as Kikuyakko. Yoshie suffers near constant abuse at the hands of her elder sister, who derides her lack of grace and potential for becoming a Geisha at every opportunity. While Yoshie for the most part tries to take this treatment in stride, at times her rage boils over and manifests itself in almost-superhuman feats of strength.

!! ''Robo Geisha'' provides examples of the following tropes:

* ChestBlaster: Kikuyakko's first cybernetic upgrade is to have her right breast converted into a machine gun. (Her left breast? The trigger.)

However, when Yoshie is given the order to eliminate the family members of the other girls that have been kidnapped and forced into servitude by the corporation, she has a change of heart. Vowing to bring down the company and its cadre of cybernetically enhanced assassins once and for all, she puts her nearly unmatched skills in the arts of death-dealing to use in an effort to avenge the lives the corporation has taken in its mad rise to power. This decision puts Yoshie on a path that will inevitably lead to a final confrontation with her now more machine than human sister, and to uncovering the secrets of the men who have been pulling their strings all along.

* BrainwashedAndCrazy: [[spoiler:Kikuyakko, towards the end.]]

* NinjaPirateZombieRobot: Yoshie, Kikue and their fellow assassins are cyborg geisha who know martial arts.

* HighPressureBlood: While this is present in nearly every battle in ''Robo Geisha'', perhaps the most bizarre example of this is when massive gouts of it can be seen erupting from ''damaged buildings''.

* IronWoobie: Yoshie - even prior to her mechanical transformation. She is able to take multiple punches to the stomach, chest and windpipe from Kikuyakko, and doesn't have any noticeable damage to show for it.
