History Manga / DororonEnmaKun

* AllStarCast: Creator/KappeiYamaguchi, MamikoNoto, Creator/TakehitoKoyasu, Creator/AyakoKawasumi, Creator/KikukoInoue, Creator/NorioWakamoto and, HochuOtsuka all lend their voices.

* TakahashiCouple: Enma-kun and Yukiko-hime.

* AbuseIsOkayWhenItIsFemaleOnMale: Yukiko tends to punish Enma quite harshly when he upsets her, though he usually deserves it.

Most recently, an animated remake by YoshitomoYonetani entitled ''Dororon Enma-kun Meera Mera'' began airing in Japan in April 2011, and returns to the manga's comedic (and {{Ecchi}}) roots.

* FiveManBand:
** Enma-kun: TheHero, naturally; can also be thought to be TheBigGuy in the account of having the most destructive attacks and the least consideration in attacking.
** Yukiko-Hime: TheChick, although she does play TheLancer too.
** Kappaeru: More of a TeamPet if anything.
** Chapeau-jii: TheSmartGuy.
** Tsutomu-kun: [[TagalongKid Tagalong Human]].

The series is particularly notable because it was Go Nagai's first attempt at a children's manga after almost single-handedly bootstrapping the {{Ecchi}} subgenre of comedy manga in Japan with Harenchi Gakuen -- having said that, it is also a bit of ValuesDissonance to western sensibilities: the nudity and sexuality in the series is blatant, especially in the [[HotterAndSexier more modern remakes]], and Enma is a very unrepentant, perverted AntiHero. (except the original 1973 anime which was an attempt by Toei to make a true series for kids.)

This is just touching the surface of the various versions of Enma, however -- the Go Nagai Fans group on DeviantArt has an excellent summary [[http://gonagaifans.deviantart.com/blog/37948434/ here]].

The 2011 series has been licenced by [[NipponIchi NIS America]].

* WhatDoYouMeanItsForKids: The manga was apparently GoNagai's shot at writing a story for children. The various remakes, including the animated version, either play up the [[DarkerAndEdgier horror aspects]] or [[HotterAndSexier play up the sexuality]].
* WhatDoYouMeanItWasntMadeOnDrugs

* LesYay: Harumi & Yukiko in episodes 3 and again in 4.
** Got some between Yukiko and Enpi in episode 7.

* HoYay: Between Slipsqueak and Enma in 7 when Slipsqueak tries to get the circlet off Enmas head.
** In episode 8 between Enma and two of the [[VillainOfTheWeek Villains Of The Week]] when they tries to remove the circlet.

* NaughtyTentacles: Common, and guaranteed to immediately gravitate towards [[MsFanservice Yukiko-hime]].

In 2006, it would get a sequel/remake in ''Demon Prince Enma'', which dropped the comedy and became a full-fledged suspense-horror series. After the OVA was released, another manga version was released called ''Satanikus ENMA Kerberos'' by Eiji Toriyama, as well as a new series, ''Enma Vs Dororon Enma Kun Gaiden'', which was a surprise crossover with [[''Anime/CuteyHoney'' Honey Kisaragi.]]

Over the 40 years that Enma-kun has existed there have been a number of remakes, spin offs, and parodies. For example, in 2000, Go Nagai did a parody spinoff, ''Dororon Enpi-Chan'' (どろろん艶靡ちゃん), with a gender-bent cast and the sexuality turned up to 11 -- notable because the main female lead, Enpi-chan (a sort of cross between Nagai's "KekkoKamen" and Enma) is a reoccurring character in the most recent animated version.

** Many things in episode 12 including ''WesternAnimation/WackyRaces'' of all things. Ryo from ''[[Manga/MaoDante Demon Lord Dante]]'' can be seen among the extras. ''{{Ultraman}}'' is briefly referenced in Enma's fight with Plume as her bra has a secret mirror in it, much like Baltan Seijin 2. Angel Mark possesses the Thunder Break from GreatMazinger. Finally one can find [[{{Gamera}} Gyaos]] hidden among the many individuals briefly when the power of love is activated.

* GenderFlip: ''Dororon Enpi-Chan'', a parody manga by Go Nagai with a gender-flipped cast -- Enma was replaced by Enpi[[hottip:*:"Voluptuous seductress"]], who was just as sex crazed as Enma [[UpToEleven but also a nudist and exhibitionist to boot]], Yukiko-Hige[[hottip:*:"Beard"]], a male transsexual version of Yukiko-Hime, and Kabako, a female version of Kapperu. Playing the trope a little more straight, the male Tsutomu was replaced with Harumi (the other being demoted to extra) in the remake.

* HeroicSociopath: Enma, who is less merciful to renegade demons than even ''the King of Hell'' wanted him to be. As he puts it, dead demons and banished demons end up in [[FireAndBrimstoneHell the same place]] either way, so it's no big deal which option he picks.

* [[{{Ptitlekxk767eh}} Can't Act Perverted Toward A Love Interest]]: SUBVERTED with Enma towards Yukiko.

* ShoutOut: The Stay Puft Marshmallow Man from ''Film/{{Ghostbusters}}]] makes an appearance in episode 4.

** From the same episode, we also have [[MazingerZ Enmazinger]], Kappaeru having his face resculpted to resemble {{Golgo 13}}, people turned into machines such as [[{{Godzilla}} Mechagodzilla]], [[MazingerZ Doublas M2, and Boss Borot]], and various {{Devilman}} demons such as Mizun, Lacock, and the finally [[spoiler: Harumi]] becomes the OVA version of Sirene.

** Episode 10 references multiple SuperRobot shows including Fire Goblin and Ice Goblin morphing into a robot that resembles [[MazingerZ Baron Ashura]] and [[GaoGaiGar ChoRyuJin]], Enpi piloting a clone of [[SteelJeeg Big Shooter]], and three goblins based on food obviously forming (and completely failing at being) the [[GetterRobo Getter Team]].

Playing the trope a little more straight, the male Tsutomu was replaced with Harumi (the other being demoted to extra) in the remake.

* VaporWear: Yukiko-hime and it's a RunningGag. Meanwhile, Enpi takes this [[BeyondTheImpossible to it's illogical conclusion.]]

* {{Tsundre}}: Yukiko-hime is a Type B towards Enma.

* StylishProtectionGear: Enma's cape doubles as a shield. Enpi's version doubles as a bra and PeekaBoo material.

* FireAndIce: Fire Goblin and Ice Goblin in episodes 9 and 10.
