History Manga / JyuOhSei

* {{Jerkass}}: ''Zagi''. He has some PetTheDog moments with Thor and Tiz(!), and Karim in the prequel, but overall he's an arrogant, cruel, not-even-borderline psychopath. However, he's voiced by KazuyaNakai, he's attractive, and he has lots of HoYay moments with Thor, which means JerkassDissonance is in full effect.

** NanaMizuki as Tiz
** KazuyaNakai as Zagi

* TokenTrio: Thor (a {{dark skinned blond}}), Tiz ({{the chick}} who has slightly darker skin than Thor), and Third (who has the darkest skin but is still [[ButNotTooBlack not quite black]]).

* TokenTrio: Thor (a {{white haired pretty boy}}), Tiz ({{the chick}} who has slightly darker skin than Thor), and Third (who has the darkest skin but is still [[ButNotTooBlack not quite black]]).

* WhiteHairedPrettyBoy: Thor (and Rai). [[spoiler: And Third/Heiser]].

* BladeBelowTheShoulder: Zagi

** LoveMartyr: Karim

** And the Tokyopop translation is, of all things, Heather.

** RomiPaku as Karim

* AnyoneCanDie: From the series initial planning creator Natsumi Itsuki actually decided [[spoiler: that every single main character besides Thor will die, and with the exception of Chen, Rada and Thor [[KillThemAll they do.]]]]

* BlackDudeDiesFirst: The members of the Night Ring all have dark skin and get [[UnfortunateImplications massacred]] halfway through the series. Their leader Jeso is the first Top to be killed (on-screen at least) after the TimeSkip. [[spoiler: a few survive and attempt to kill Zagi, but wind up shooting Tiz]]

''Jyu Oh Sei'' (''Planet of the Beast King'') is a ScienceFiction {{manga}} that was turned into a [[TwelveEpisodeAnime eleven episode anime]] in 2006. It was released in America in 2008. Jyu Oh Sei tells the story of Thor, a young boy who, along with his twin brother Rai, is kidnapped from his home and taken to the penal colony Chimera, the Planet of the Beast King. In order to survive in Chimera's harsh environment, the prisoners (and more importantly, the descendants of those prisoners) are forced to become like savage beasts. The more Thor learns about the planet, the more he is forced to accept that, in order to survive and escape Chimera, he will have to become a beast himself.

* BlackDudeDiesFirst: The members of the Night Ring all have dark skin and get [[UnfortunateImplications massacred]] halfway through the series. Their leader Jeso is the first Top to be killed after the TimeSkip.

* AnyoneCanDie: From the series initial planning creator Natsumi Itsuki actually decided [[spoiler: that every single main character besides Thor will die, and with the exception of Chen and Thor [[KillThemAll they do.]]]]

* AboveTheRuins: The closing scene shows Thor, Chen, Rada, and an orphan overlooking ruins destroyed by Musa plants.

* {{Bishonen}}: Thor and Third. Maybe Zagi but he's more of a macho kind. Zagi becomes progressively prettier throughout the manga. In the Death Game prequel in the end of volume three, he is most certainly this trope.
* BitterSweetEnding: Very much so, just read the spoilers.

Jyu Oh Sei is, overall, a decent anime with very nice animation and great music, denied greatness because of its numerous {{plothole}}s and seemingly disjointed pacing. But for an anime that's only eleven episodes, the series combines an easy-to-follow plotline with enough {{Bishonen}} to keep the {{fangirl}}s happy. And those who are curious of the actual story can always read the manga from which you can fill the plotholes and learn all the info left out from the anime.

[[spoiler:* AnyoneCanDie: From the series initial planning creator Natsumi Itsuki actually decided that every single main character besides Thor will die, and with the exception of Chen and Thor [[KillThemAll they do.]]

* HoYay: So, so much. Zagi/Thor, Third/Thor, pretty much every single male character/Thor...

* TheBeautifulPeople: The main cast is made up of {{Bishonen}} and beautiful women.

*** Also in the dub [[TalkingToHimself Thor and Rai]] are voiced by Alison Viktorin, who much like [[MinamiTakayama]] also voices [[DetectiveConan Conan Edogawa]]

** Also, the Ochre Ring's Top at the time of Thor's arrival.
