The story centers around a boy named Sakura Kusakabe, a fairly nondescript junior high student that was marked for death by God because he will invent a form of immortality in the future that prevents women from aging after 12 years of age (creating "a pedophile's world", as one character comments). God sends Dokuro, an angelic assassin, back in time to kill him.
But alas, Dokuro finds herself enamored with him and decides that she can prevent this horrible future by keeping him too distracted to ever stumble upon the method. However, due to her irrational nature, she ends up wrecking his life in the process. One RunningGag is that Dokuro does, in fact, kill Sakura... repeatedly. Usually if he touches her in a way she views as inappropriate... or says something she misinterprets... looks at her funny... is just there... but she always resurrects him immediately afterwards. Drama unfolds when another angelic assassin, Sabato, is sent to do the job that Dokuro is putting off and Dokuro ends up taking on a role as Sakura's "protector" (death by Sabato seems almost preferable).

----
!!''Bludgeoning Angel Dokuro-chan'' provides examples of:
* AccidentalPervert: Sakura almost never has any overtly sexual thoughts when he provokes Dokuro's wrath. In fact, these moments are the only times he ''isn't'' having sexual thoughts.
* AchillesHeel: Possibly an angel's only weakness is removing the halo from above their head. (Unfortunately for Sakura, who does this several times, the edge of the halo is as sharp as a sword and always manages to [[HighPressureBlood humorously]] cut his hand.) It strips the angels of their power and gives them [[PottyEmergency explosive diarrhea]].
* AndIMustScream: Something noted by Sakura in the novels and mangas is that Dokuro never truly kills him. He remains conscious even when she tears him to smithereens.
%%* {{Animorphism}}
* AnimatedShockComedy: While originally a light novel series, the anime adaptation definitely counts. It's a parody of MagicalGirlfriend anime, where the "girlfriend" in question violently kills the main character over and over for the smallest slights only to bring him back to life again. The series as a whole has a rather crude and raunchy sense of humor.
%%* AntiVillain: Sabato, Type IV.
* ArtShift: When a classmate's head turns into a howler monkey's head, the howler head is photorealistic, instead of animated. It's quite jarring, to say the least. Later, the same style is used when Dokuro [[spoiler: turns another guy's head into a dog head, and another guy's head into the head of a deer]].
* BatterUp: Excalibolg, at least in appearance. It's actually a real weapon called a kanabō, so it's more CarryABigStick than this trope.
* BestialityIsDepraved: Dokuro starts reading ''Literature/ADogOfFlanders'', but then alters the story so that Patrasche the dog raped his master.
* BlackComedy: It's a wacky comedy about repeated bloody murder and dismemberment in order to prevent a lolicon paradise. It gets to the point where one joke in the second season is that Sakura somehow ''avoids'' getting killed simply because several angels can't agree on how to do it.
* BloodSport: Who knew that dodgeball could be so bloody? They ''are'' playing with a heavy basketball, but even the lightest blow seems to result in showers of blood all throughout the series.
* BloodyHilarious: Oh so very much.
* {{Bokukko}}: Dokuro, who by invoking this trope, puts the ''boku'' in "bokusatsu".
* BookEnds: At the beginning of the first episode of season one, [[AccidentalPervert Sakura walks in]] to find Dokuro dressing, she [[PervertRevengeMode proceeds to kill him]]. Then in the final episode of the first season, Sakura walks in to find Dokuro dressing but with a ModestyTowel on, but [[WardrobeMalfunction it falls off]] and she kills him again.
* BreakTheCutie: This happens quite fast. It even comes with a crazy laugh every now and then. Dokuro-chan has somewhat of a ''VisualNovel/HigurashiWhenTheyCry'' laugh.
* BulletproofHumanShield: Sakura once uses Sabato as an Excalibolg-proof Angel Shield. It works, and the impact merely makes her vomit whereas it would have killed him, but he ends up dead in a few seconds, anyway, because Dokuro won't stop at one hit.
* ButtMonkey:
** Sakura. Besides repeatedly getting killed by Dokuro, the poor kid's even got [[GenderBlenderName a girly-sounding name]].
** Zanzu even more so, to the degree that ''he'' is treated as a ButtMonkey by Sakura.
** Sabato is especially one, considering she lives in a cardboard box under a bridge and is [[FailureIsTheOnlyOption almost always unsuccessful in killing Sakura]].
* {{Calvinball}}: According to one episode, Dokuro likes to make up her own board games. The only one we see is the mystifying "Gothello". Hilariously, the special edition DVD set in Japan [[{{Feelies}} actually came with a Gothello set]]!
* CameBackWrong: Dokuro's resurrections of Sakura don't always go quite right, though it's PlayedForLaughs.
* CelestialBureaucracy: Heaven is portrayed as a bureaucracy that can only send increasingly ineffectual assassins after a young boy. Though this may be [[JerkassGods intentional]]. After all what better way to teach someone a lesson than to send people that would decide not to kill him yet essentially torture him for the rest of his life. One might say god knows exactly what he is doing.
* TheChewToy: Sakura. Also, Sabato, but to a lesser extent, as she's also frequently a flat-out Woobie.
* ComedicSociopathy: For someone trying to ''help'' Sakura, it almost feels like (permanent) death would be preferable.
* CuteBruiser: Zakuro, Dokuro and Sabato all match this trope.
* DeathAsComedy: Dokuro plays this straight with the unfortunate Sakura, who gets an explicitly animated horrible club to the wherever whenever he does something Dokuro finds vaguely inappropriate. She also possesses the ability to bring him back, which leads to a vicious cycle of this happening multiple times per episode.
* DeathIsCheap: Sakura gets turned into gibs and resurrected ''all the time'', and his strongest reaction is "[[MajorInjuryUnderreaction That really hurt!]]".
* DoubleStandardAbuseFemaleOnMale: Sakura endures abuse and misfortune from female angels, especially Dokuro-chan, which is played for BlackComedy. If Dokuro-chan and Sakura's relationship was about a guy torturing a woman instead, this would be a different series altogether.
* EmbarrassingFirstName: "Sakura" is still considered pretty feminine in Japan, and in the light novels, Sakura actively laments his name.
%%* ExpositoryThemeTune
* FetishFuelFuture: What Sakura will create if he isn't stopped.
* FriendlyEnemy: Dokuro and Sabato, who [[GoKartingWithBowser regularly hang out together]].
%%* FuroScene: Season 2 episode 2.
* {{Gainaxing}}: There's a bit of this every now and then. One instance is when Sakura accidentally pulls down Dokuro-chan's shirt, revealing her breasts, the nipples of which are [[SceneryCensor covered by a conveniently-placed plant branch]].
* GirlWithPsychoWeapon: All the angels qualify as this, but Dokuro especially counts.
* {{Gonk}}:
** Angels without halos. In the manga however, they still look normal.
** Sakura becomes this when Shizuki says she likes another guy, flailing his arms like a ''VideoGame/GarrysMod'' ragdoll and [[{{Angrish}} screeching unintelligibly]] all the while.
* {{Gorn}}: ''Dokuro-chan'' '''runneth over''' with this one!
* GroinAttack:
** The most cringeworthy is probably right in the opening, where Dokuro is seen leaning heavily on her spiked club, embedded deep in Sakura's groin. At another point in the opening she punts him in the crotch, sending him flying. Yeesh.
** In an episode, Dokuro blackmails Sakura into joining her school club by putting glue on his crotch and letting it harden. The view is then treated to a GoryDiscretionShot where she rips the glue off as Sakura can be heard screaming in pain.
%%* GrotesqueCute
%%* HammerSpace
* HappilyEverAfter: The final scene of the anime's first season shows Sakura-kun and Dokuro-chan embracing on a white background surrounded by a border of an assortment of carnivorous plants.
* HighPressureBlood: Taken to extremes. On one occasion Sakura's severed lower body flies around like a rocket from the blood escaping.
* HornedHumanoid: Both Sabato and her mother.
* HumanShield: Sakura uses Sabato as one in Episode 4.
* HypocriticalHumor: Sakura's classmates are probably even more perverted than he is, yet they always seem to be on his case when it's NotWhatItLooksLike.
* IdiosyncraticEpisodeNaming: The name of each episode ends with "Dokuro-chan!"
* ImageSong: Rather bizarre and disturbing ones, at that.
* ImmortalityImmorality, type 2: The reason Dokuro came to Sakura to stop him from making all girls stop aging at 12 years old, creating a lolicon's world and granting women immortality, which is God's domain.
* ImprobableUseOfAWeapon: There's plenty of [[ImprobableWeaponUser bizarre weapons]] in the show, but Dokuro-chan's Excalibolg is [[AluminumChristmasTrees actually a kanabō, a real weapon]]. You simply don't wield it with one hand, though... it was an AntiArmor weapon.
* ImprobableWeaponUser
** Dokuro wields a kanabō (a huge spiked club) she calls Excalibolg.
** Sabato wields an electric baton "capable of zapping a blue whale in seconds" she calls Durandal.
** Zakuro wields a wet towel ([[LethalJokeItem no, really]]) that she calls Eckilsax.
* InnocentCohabitation: Subverted in Dokuro's case, because she's sexually teased him a few times when trying to get her way. Played straight in Zakuro and Sabato's cases.
* KidsAreCruel: Sakura's classmates lead to many uncomfortable moments when they're picking on him.
* LoveCanMakeYouGonk: Sakura is an excellent example.
* LoveHurts: More like "love kills".
* LudicrousGibs: Sakura is constantly reduced to these thanks to Dokuro's antics.
* LyricalDissonance: The AnimeThemeSong is an upbeat J-Pop number that also flat out states the horrible things that Dokuro does to Sakura.
* MadeOfPlasticine: Sakura. Arguably also MadeOfIron for the (very few) times Dokuro's abuse ''doesn't'' kill him.
* MagicalGirlfriend: Deconstructed and parodied relentlessly; Dokuro may be a cute angel, but her habit of violently killing Sakura over and over again for the smallest slights doesn't exactly make her prime girlfriend material. In the first episode of the anime, Dokuro talks about having studied various manga, including genre classic ''Manga/UruseiYatsura'', to get an idea of how she should behave.
* MaleGaze: Again, Sakura. Used in the first episode when Dokuro-chan is flailing around on a table, and he states clearly that her panties are showing.
* MeaningfulName:
** The angels' weapons are named after weapons belonging to heroes of legend. Dokuro's club "Excalibolg" is a portmanteau of [[Myth/KingArthur Excalibur, the legendary sword of King Arthur]], and [[Myth/CelticMythology Gae Bolg, the spear belonging to the Irish mythological hero Cu Chulainn]]. Sabato's shock baton Durandal is named after the sword belonging to Roland, the paladin of Charlemagne.
** Ichiro Binkan, star of the ShowWithinAShow: "binkan" meaning "sensitive", [[JizzedInMyPants and well...]]
* MundaneMadeAwesome:
-->"It's the Wood Glue Club!"\\
"And what are we supposed to do?"\\
"To continuously watch the process of wood glue drying, hardening and eventually turning transparent."\\
"I QUIT!!!"
* NamedWeapons: Dokuro's club Excalibolg, [[ShockAndAwe Sabato's shock baton]] Durandal, and [[ImprobableWeaponUser Zakuro's towel]] Eckilsax.
%%* NerdsAreInnocent: Chieri Ono
* NoodleIncident: Everyone is... extremely disturbed... by Sakura-kun's painting at the sketching contest -- ''even Dokuro-chan herself'', whom actually starts crying because of it -- but we never get to see the picture itself.
* {{Ondo}}: The OAV ending.
* OnlySaneMan: Sakura, though you do have to wonder how well his sanity is holding up after the eighth reincarnation.
* OurAngelsAreDifferent: And not very angelic either!

* PervertRevengeMode: Probably the ultimate form of this trope in anime, and the most frequent cause of death for Sakura.

->''Pipiru piru piru pipiru pi!''
''Bludgeoning Angel Dokuro-chan'' (''Bokusatsu Tenshi Dokuro-chan'' in Japanese) is a small Japanese franchise consisting of 10 {{light novel}}s plus one extra book, six "pairs" of {{anime}} episodes under [[Creator/{{TYO}} Hal Film Maker]], 3 volumes of {{manga}}, and a UsefulNotes/PlayStation2 video game. The series centers around a boy named Sakura Kusakabe, a fairly nondescript Junior High student that was marked for death by God because he will invent a form of immortality in the future that prevents women from aging after 12 years of age (creating "a pedophile's world", as one character comments). God sends Dokuro, an angelic assassin, back in time to kill him.
But alas, Dokuro finds herself enamored with him and decides that she can prevent this horrible future by keeping him too distracted to ever stumble upon the method. However, due to her irrational nature, she ends up wrecking his life in the process. One RunningGag is that Dokuro does, in fact, kill Sakura... repeatedly. Usually if he touches her in a way she views as inappropriate... or says something she misinterprets... looks at her funny... is just there... but she always resurrects him immediately afterwards. Drama unfolds when another angelic assassin, Sabato, is sent to do the job that Dokuro is putting off and Dokuro ends up taking on a role as Sakura's "protector" (death by Sabato seems almost preferable).
The series derives most of its humor from [[CrossesTheLineTwice crossing every line]] in [[TheParody parodying]] the whole MagicalGirlfriend genre (and plenty of other {{Anime}} tropes). In that in has quite a few similaries with ''Anime/MagicalWitchPuniechan'', with which it shares the directing and screen-writing talents of Tsutomu Mizushima. ''Bokusatsu Tenshi Dokuro-chan'' manages to often be [[{{Gorn}} far more brutal in its violence]] though. Sakura doesn't just get killed, he gets splattered in the most creatively gory ways possible (it actually becomes comedy when he ''doesn't'' get killed). Along with completely shattering the {{masquerade}} and the total creepy honesty of most of the secondary characters, it certainly is a unique show.
----
!!''Bludgeoning Angel Dokuro-chan'' provides examples of:
* AccidentalPervert: Sakura almost never has any overtly sexual thoughts when he provokes Dokuro's wrath. In fact, these moments are the only times he ''isn't'' having sexual thoughts.
* AchillesHeel: Possibly an angel's only weakness is removing the halo from above their head. (Unfortunately for Sakura, who does this several times, the edge of the halo is as sharp as a sword and always manages to [[HighPressureBlood humorously]] cut his hand.) It strips the angels of their power and gives them [[PottyEmergency explosive diarrhea]].
* AndIMustScream: Something noted by Sakura in the novels and mangas is that Dokuro never truly kills him. He remains conscious even when she tears him to smithereens.
%%* {{Animorphism}}
* AnimatedShockComedy: While originally a light novel series, the anime adaptation definitely counts. It's a parody of MagicalGirlfriend anime, where the "girlfriend" in question violently kills the main character over and over for the smallest slights only to bring him back to life again. The series as a whole has a rather crude and raunchy sense of humor.
%%* AntiVillain: Sabato, Type IV.
* ArtShift: When a classmate's head turns into a howler monkey's head, the howler head is photorealistic, instead of animated. It's quite jarring, to say the least. Later, the same style is used when Dokuro [[spoiler: turns another guy's head into a dog head, and another guy's head into the head of a deer]].
* BatterUp: Excalibolg, at least in appearance. It's actually a real weapon called a kanabō, so it's more CarryABigStick than this trope.
* BestialityIsDepraved: Dokuro starts reading ''Literature/ADogOfFlanders'', but then alters the story so that Patrasche the dog raped his master.
* BlackComedy: It's a wacky comedy about repeated bloody murder and dismemberment in order to prevent a lolicon paradise. It gets to the point where one joke in the second season is that Sakura somehow ''avoids'' getting killed simply because several angels can't agree on how to do it.
* BloodSport: Who knew that dodgeball could be so bloody? They ''are'' playing with a heavy basketball, but even the lightest blow seems to result in showers of blood all throughout the series.
* BloodyHilarious: Oh so very much.
* {{Bokukko}}: Dokuro, who by invoking this trope, puts the ''boku'' in "bokusatsu".
* BookEnds: At the beginning of the first episode of season one, [[AccidentalPervert Sakura walks in]] to find Dokuro dressing, she [[PervertRevengeMode proceeds to kill him]]. Then in the final episode of the first season, Sakura walks in to find Dokuro dressing but with a ModestyTowel on, but [[WardrobeMalfunction it falls off]] and she kills him again.
* BreakTheCutie: This happens quite fast. It even comes with a crazy laugh every now and then. Dokuro-chan has somewhat of a ''VisualNovel/HigurashiWhenTheyCry'' laugh.
* BulletproofHumanShield: Sakura once uses Sabato as an Excalibolg-proof Angel Shield. It works, and the impact merely makes her vomit whereas it would have killed him, but he ends up dead in a few seconds, anyway, because Dokuro won't stop at one hit.
* ButtMonkey:
** Sakura. Besides repeatedly getting killed by Dokuro, the poor kid's even got [[GenderBlenderName a girly-sounding name]].
** Zanzu even more so, to the degree that ''he'' is treated as a ButtMonkey by Sakura.
** Sabato is especially one, considering she lives in a cardboard box under a bridge and is [[FailureIsTheOnlyOption almost always unsuccessful in killing Sakura]].
* {{Calvinball}}: According to one episode, Dokuro likes to make up her own board games. The only one we see is the mystifying "Gothello". Hilariously, the special edition DVD set in Japan [[{{Feelies}} actually came with a Gothello set]]!
* CameBackWrong: Dokuro's resurrections of Sakura don't always go quite right, though it's PlayedForLaughs.
* CelestialBureaucracy: Heaven is portrayed as a bureaucracy that can only send increasingly ineffectual assassins after a young boy. Though this may be [[JerkassGods intentional]]. After all what better way to teach someone a lesson than to send people that would decide not to kill him yet essentially torture him for the rest of his life. One might say god knows exactly what he is doing.
* TheChewToy: Sakura. Also, Sabato, but to a lesser extent, as she's also frequently a flat-out Woobie.
* ComedicSociopathy: For someone trying to ''help'' Sakura, it almost feels like (permanent) death would be preferable.
* CuteBruiser: Zakuro, Dokuro and Sabato all match this trope.
* DeathAsComedy: Dokuro plays this straight with the unfortunate Sakura, who gets an explicitly animated horrible club to the wherever whenever he does something Dokuro finds vaguely inappropriate. She also possesses the ability to bring him back, which leads to a vicious cycle of this happening multiple times per episode.
* DeathIsCheap: Sakura gets turned into gibs and resurrected ''all the time'', and his strongest reaction is "[[MajorInjuryUnderreaction That really hurt!]]".
* DoubleStandardAbuseFemaleOnMale: Sakura endures abuse and misfortune from female angels, especially Dokuro-chan, which is played for BlackComedy. If Dokuro-chan and Sakura's relationship was about a guy torturing a woman instead, this would be a different series altogether.
* EmbarrassingFirstName: "Sakura" is still considered pretty feminine in Japan, and in the light novels, Sakura actively laments his name.
%%* ExpositoryThemeTune
* FetishFuelFuture: What Sakura will create if he isn't stopped.
* FriendlyEnemy: Dokuro and Sabato, who [[GoKartingWithBowser regularly hang out together]].
%%* FuroScene: Season 2 episode 2.
* {{Gainaxing}}: There's a bit of this every now and then. One instance is when Sakura accidentally pulls down Dokuro-chan's shirt, revealing her breasts, the nipples of which are [[SceneryCensor covered by a conveniently-placed plant branch]].
* GirlWithPsychoWeapon: All the angels qualify as this, but Dokuro especially counts.
* {{Gonk}}:
** Angels without halos. In the manga however, they still look normal.
** Sakura becomes this when Shizuki says she likes another guy, flailing his arms like a ''VideoGame/GarrysMod'' ragdoll and [[{{Angrish}} screeching unintelligibly]] all the while.
* {{Gorn}}: ''Dokuro-chan'' '''runneth over''' with this one!
* GroinAttack:
** The most cringeworthy is probably right in the opening, where Dokuro is seen leaning heavily on her spiked club, embedded deep in Sakura's groin. At another point in the opening she punts him in the crotch, sending him flying. Yeesh.
** In an episode, Dokuro blackmails Sakura into joining her school club by putting glue on his crotch and letting it harden. The view is then treated to a GoryDiscretionShot where she rips the glue off as Sakura can be heard screaming in pain.
%%* GrotesqueCute
%%* HammerSpace
* HappilyEverAfter: The final scene of the anime's first season shows Sakura-kun and Dokuro-chan embracing on a white background surrounded by a border of an assortment of carnivorous plants.
* HighPressureBlood: Taken to extremes. On one occasion Sakura's severed lower body flies around like a rocket from the blood escaping.
* HornedHumanoid: Both Sabato and her mother.
* HumanShield: Sakura uses Sabato as one in Episode 4.
* HypocriticalHumor: Sakura's classmates are probably even more perverted than he is, yet they always seem to be on his case when it's NotWhatItLooksLike.
* IdiosyncraticEpisodeNaming: The name of each episode ends with "Dokuro-chan!"
* ImageSong: Rather bizarre and disturbing ones, at that.
* ImmortalityImmorality, type 2: The reason Dokuro came to Sakura to stop him from making all girls stop aging at 12 years old, creating a lolicon's world and granting women immortality, which is God's domain.
* ImprobableUseOfAWeapon: There's plenty of [[ImprobableWeaponUser bizarre weapons]] in the show, but Dokuro-chan's Excalibolg is [[AluminumChristmasTrees actually a kanabō, a real weapon]]. You simply don't wield it with one hand, though... it was an AntiArmor weapon.
* ImprobableWeaponUser
** Dokuro wields a kanabō (a huge spiked club) she calls Excalibolg.
** Sabato wields an electric baton "capable of zapping a blue whale in seconds" she calls Durandal.
** Zakuro wields a wet towel ([[LethalJokeItem no, really]]) that she calls Eckilsax.
* InnocentCohabitation: Subverted in Dokuro's case, because she's sexually teased him a few times when trying to get her way. Played straight in Zakuro and Sabato's cases.
* KidsAreCruel: Sakura's classmates lead to many uncomfortable moments when they're picking on him.
* LoveCanMakeYouGonk: Sakura is an excellent example.
* LoveHurts: More like "love kills".
* LudicrousGibs: Sakura is constantly reduced to these thanks to Dokuro's antics.
* LyricalDissonance: The AnimeThemeSong is an upbeat J-Pop number that also flat out states the horrible things that Dokuro does to Sakura.
* MadeOfPlasticine: Sakura. Arguably also MadeOfIron for the (very few) times Dokuro's abuse ''doesn't'' kill him.
* MagicalGirlfriend: Deconstructed and parodied relentlessly; Dokuro may be a cute angel, but her habit of violently killing Sakura over and over again for the smallest slights doesn't exactly make her prime girlfriend material. In the first episode of the anime, Dokuro talks about having studied various manga, including genre classic ''Manga/UruseiYatsura'', to get an idea of how she should behave.
* MaleGaze: Again, Sakura. Used in the first episode when Dokuro-chan is flailing around on a table, and he states clearly that her panties are showing.
* MeaningfulName:
** The angels' weapons are named after weapons belonging to heroes of legend. Dokuro's club "Excalibolg" is a portmanteau of [[Myth/KingArthur Excalibur, the legendary sword of King Arthur]], and [[Myth/CelticMythology Gae Bolg, the spear belonging to the Irish mythological hero Cu Chulainn]]. Sabato's shock baton Durandal is named after the sword belonging to Roland, the paladin of Charlemagne.
** Ichiro Binkan, star of the ShowWithinAShow: "binkan" meaning "sensitive", [[JizzedInMyPants and well...]]
* MundaneMadeAwesome:
-->"It's the Wood Glue Club!"\\
"And what are we supposed to do?"\\
"To continuously watch the process of wood glue drying, hardening and eventually turning transparent."\\
"I QUIT!!!"
* NamedWeapons: Dokuro's club Excalibolg, [[ShockAndAwe Sabato's shock baton]] Durandal, and [[ImprobableWeaponUser Zakuro's towel]] Eckilsax.
%%* NerdsAreInnocent: Chieri Ono
* NoodleIncident: Everyone is... extremely disturbed... by Sakura-kun's painting at the sketching contest -- ''even Dokuro-chan herself'', whom actually starts crying because of it -- but we never get to see the picture itself.
* {{Ondo}}: The OAV ending.
* OnlySaneMan: Sakura, though you do have to wonder how well his sanity is holding up after the eighth reincarnation.
* OurAngelsAreDifferent: And not very angelic either!
%%* PaintTheTownRed
* PervertRevengeMode: Probably the ultimate form of this trope in anime, and the most frequent cause of death for Sakura.
* PottyFailure: Removing an angel's halo gives them a bad case of diarrhea, apparently. Could also be seen as PottyEmergency since they're never shown failing to make it to the bathroom.
* PurelyAestheticGlasses: [[NoCelebritiesWereHarmed Kim Jong-il]] is stated to sport these in Episode 1.
%%* RefugeInAudacity
* SatelliteLoveInterest: Parodied with Shizuki. Both Sakura and Shizuki love each other, but circumstances conspire to prevent them from ever making that official.
* SelfFulfillingProphecy: It is speculated that Sakura would create his [[FetishFuelFuture Pedo-World]] '''because''' he met Dokuro-chan.
* ShoutOut:
** Dokuro-chan coming from the future to "help" Sakura is a screwed up take on the premise of the ''Manga/{{Doraemon}}'' series. And so, there are references to the blue cat robot everywhere you look.
** The manga makes one to ''Manga/ToLoveRu'' in the first chapter, where Sakura demands Dokuro to show her (non-existent) tail, claiming that it is her weakness.

* ShowWithinAShow: Sensitive Salaryman Binkan, along with the accompanying Merchandise, a sausage that makes you extremely sensitive to every sensation. We probably don't want to know all of the implications of that.
* SlasherSmile: Dokuro, Sabato, Sakura's classmates... anyone who is about to beat the crap out of Sakura generally sports one of these.
