History NinjaPirateZombieRobot / AnimeAndManga

* ''Anime/EurekaSeven'', anyone? SkySurfing {{Super Robot}}s that {{transform|ingMecha}} into Le Mans-esque supercars, all while running on ThePowerOfLove.

* ''Anime/MobileFighterGGundam'' starts off with sorta-post-apocalyptic kung-fu battling in {{Super Robot}}s using every ridiculous MartialArtsAndCrafts move and evil foreigner stereotype they could think of, and [[SerialEscalation it escalates]] from there. The HumongousMecha design itself pretty much runs on this (Windmills, man. Windmills.) And I haven't even mentioned [[McNinja Schwarz Bruder and his German Ninjitsu]] yet.

* ''Anime/MazingerZ'': [[{{Mook}} The Iron Masks and the Iron Crosses]] are corpses the BigBad reconstructed using cybernetic parts and reanimated, programming them to serve him faithfully. Hence, they are cyborg zombies. Besides, the Iron Masks wear uniforms resemble the armor of an ancient Greek soldier, and the Iron Cross's uniforms are reminiscent of Nazi soldiers. It is fitting since their leader IS an ex-Nazi officer turned cyborg by the BigBad.

* ''Franchise/LyricalNanoha'' delights in taking the normal MagicalGirl template and checking how much seemingly unrelated stuff they can combine it with. For example, Vita is a ReallySevenHundredYearsOld {{Elegant Gothic|Lolita}} LittleMissBadass [[RidiculouslyHumanRobots sentient program]] that wields a [[DropTheHammer mechanical hammer]] [[SwissArmyWeapon that can become]] rocket-powered, [[ThisIsADrill sport a drill]], or grow to the size of a large building for HumongousMecha smashing.

* ''Manga/{{Biomega}}'', or to be more specific, Kozlov Grebnev. I mean, cyberpunk and zombies are cool, cyberpunk zombies are even cooler but a Russian talking bear with a sniper rifle is in a league of his own.

* ''Anime/{{Blassreiter}}'' presents a {{nano|Machines}}bot-[[TheVirus infested]] ShapeShifting MadeOfIron BadassBiker cyborg saint swinging [[ShapeshifterWeapon the blade he grows]]. While riding a ShapeShifting jet CoolBike with [[SlidingScaleOfRobotIntelligence AI]] who talks via FairySexy [[ProjectedMan projected girl]]. There are other... ''interesting'' characters where these two came from. Even the {{mooks}} are BrainwashedAndCrazy {{Zombie Infectee}}s [[ViralTransformation transformed]] by {{nano|Machines}}bots, sometimes even ''corpses'' reanimated by nanomachines, making them ''cyborg zombies'' MadeOfIron. And there's MiniMecha built by the AncientConspiracy. ItMakesSenseInContext.

* ''Anime/CowboyBebop'': In "Jamming with Edward", Jet sarcastically sums up the picture he's gotten of [[ShroudedInMyth Radical Ed]] as a seven-foot ex-basketballer Hindu guru drag queen alien. As it happens she's none of those things, instead being a child prodigy hacker with near-prehensile feet, although [[NoSocialSkills you could be forgiven for thinking "alien" was true]].

** Did we mention [[spoiler: Vivio Takamachi]] the royal [[OlderAlterEgo age-shifting]] [[HumanAlien alien]] [[LesYay les]][[PuppyLove bian]] [[MagicalGirl mage]]/[[KungFuWizard martial artist]] with [[HasTwoMommies two mothers]] who was [[CloneJesus cloned from]] [[CrystalDragonJesus the focal point of a religion]]?

* Episode 4 of ''Anime/WelcomeToTheNHK'' does this with {{Moe}}, to produce the 'perfect' {{eroge}} heroine: a wheelchair-bound blind [[{{Meganekko}} glasses-wearing]] alien {{robot|Girl}} ghost {{m|eido}}aid with a [[{{Tsundere}} split personality]], Alzheimers and a terminal illness who is a [[VictoriousChildhoodFriend childhood friend]] and classmate of the protagonist, and who was his lover in a [[{{Reincarnation}} previous life]]. [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/NHK_Moe_Manga.png The result is more disturbing than hoped, though]].

* ''LightNovel/IsThisAZombie'' is about an ordinary high school boy who gets murdered and becomes a [[WholesomeCrossdresser cross-dressing]] {{Magical|Girl}} [[OurZombiesAreDifferent zombie]]. With a pink chainsaw.

* As of ''Webcomic/HetaliaAxisPowers: Paint it White'', England is officially a secret agent/wizard/pirate/ninja.

* ''Franchise/JoJosBizarreAdventure'' loves this. First, it's zombie vampires who are fought with [[Manga/FistOfTheNorthStar Hokuto Shin Ken]]. Then it's [[OurVampiresAreDifferent better vampires who eat vampires]] fighting a Brit, an Italian, and a cyborg Nazi who looks like [[Franchise/StreetFighter Guile]]. Then a [[OurVampiresAreDifferent vampire]] who can [[TimeStandsStill stop time]] and his [[MonsterOfTheWeek buddies]] with wacky PsychicPowers fighting two Japanese [[OrdinaryHighSchoolStudent high school students]] (also with said PsychicPowers), the aformentioned Brit (now a CoolOldGuy who looks like Creator/SeanConnery), a Muslim fortune teller who can control fire, a [[EveryoneLooksSexierIfFrench Frenchman]] with [[AnimeHair ridiculous hair]] seeking to [[MyNameIsInigoMontoya avenge his sister,]] and a supersmart dog who can control sand. Those are just the first three parts.

* In ''Franchise/SailorMoon'' all the Sailor Senshi are not only magical warriors, but also alien princesses (from their respective planets). Rei, a.k.a. Sailor Mars, is also an Alien Princess Magical Warrior ''Temple Priestess'', and Hotaru, a.k.a. Sailor Saturn, is a ''Psychic'' Alien Princess Magical Warrior.

** What, the samurai graffiti artists didn't do it for you?
* ''VideoGame/SengokuBasara'': Date Masamune's horse is a motorbike (not ''like'' a motorbike, ''is'' a motorbike, complete with handlebars and exhaust pipes). [[MemeticMutation Your arguments are invalid]].

* [[Creator/SamuelLJackson Samuel Leroy Jackson]] voices a guy with a huge afro that uses a [[KatanasAreJustBetter katana]] to fight Creator/RonPerlman and his GunsAkimbo and "does the nasty", with Creator/KellyHu, to a soundtrack by The RZA. Only on ''Anime/AfroSamurai''.

*** And the [[GiantMook Giant Monk]] with a rocket launcher in his backpack. Another monk is a cyborg that talks like a stereotypical black preacher with ho's and has a RedRightHand.

* ''Anime/{{Blassreiter}}'' presents a [[NanoMachines nanobot]]-[[TheVirus infested]] ShapeShifting MadeOfIron BadassBiker cyborg saint swinging [[ShapeshifterWeapon the blade he grows]]. While riding a ShapeShifting jet CoolBike with [[SlidingScaleOfRobotIntelligence AI]] who talks via FairySexy [[ProjectedMan projected girl]]. There are other... ''interesting'' characters where these two came from. Even the {{mooks}} are BrainwashedAndCrazy {{Zombie Infectee}}s [[ViralTransformation transformed]] by [[NanoMachines nanobots]], sometimes even ''corpses'' reanimated by nanomachines, making them ''cyborg zombies'' MadeOfIron. And there's MiniMecha built by the AncientConspiracy. ItMakesSenseInContext.

* Between the beginning and end of any series connected to ''Anime/BubblegumCrisis'', the Boomers will evolve from standard cyborgs into magical floating fusing ghost zombie cyborgs. Special mention to the [[SexBot Sexaroids]] from the OVA, who are LesbianVampire Robots ''[[JustForFun/RecycledInSpace from Space]]''!

* The villains of ''Anime/DinoZaurs'' are [[OurDragonsAreDifferent dragon]] [[DragonsAreDinosaurs dinosaur]] [[OurVampiresAreDifferent vampiric]] skeletal alien {{Transformers}} (okay, those are aliens too, but these aren't made of metal) with glowing eyes. The heroes are the same, except for the fact that they're not dragons, not vampiric and not alien, and thus considerably less awesome.

** The Saiyans are a race of [[KillerSpaceMonkey were-monkey]] [[ContemporaryCaveman caveman]] {{space pirates}}.

* ''Anime/EurekaSeven'', anyone? SkySurfing {{Super Robot}}s that [[TransformingMecha transform]] into Le Mans-esque supercars, all while running on ThePowerOfLove.

* Volfogg in ''Anime/GaoGaiGar''. Come on, he's a giant [[RidiculouslyHumanRobots Robot]] {{Ninja}} spy that [[TransformingMecha transforms]] into a Police car. And can [[CombiningMecha combine]] with a transforming Motorcycle and Helicopter on top of THAT.

* ''Anime/GunXSword'' is a SpaceWestern about a [[BadassLongcoat Tuxedo Wearing]] [[HealingFactor auto-healing]] Badass who goes around in search for vengeance kicking ass, [[ParryingBullets stopping bullets with his sword]] and piloting an [[EmpathicWeapon empathic]] HumongousMecha competing against a samurai.

* This was the point of ''Literature/HaruhiSuzumiya'''s [[ShowWithinAShow student film]], which was about a [[TimeTravel time-travelling]] MagicalGirl [[NinjaMaid Battle]] [[FanserviceWithASmile Waitress]] and strove to fit every [[JapaneseMediaTropes Japanese Media Trope]] they could manage into 21.5 minutes.

* ''Franchise/LyricalNanoha'' delights in taking the normal MagicalGirl template and checking how much seemingly unrelated stuff they can combine it with. For example, Vita is a ReallySevenHundredYearsOld [[ElegantGothicLolita Elegant Gothic]] LittleMissBadass [[RidiculouslyHumanRobots sentient program]] that wields a [[DropTheHammer mechanical hammer]] [[SwissArmyWeapon that can become]] rocket-powered, [[ThisIsADrill sport a drill]], or grow to the size of a large building for HumongousMecha smashing.

** Kanna is a [[VoluntaryShapeshifting shapeshifting]] [[ShockAndAwe electric]] [[LesYay lesbian]] [[OurDragonsAreDifferent dragon]] [[ElegantGothicLolita goth]] [[PuppyLove loli]].

* ''Anime/MyHime''. It revolves around HighSchool-aged {{Magical Girl}}s (one of whomhas blue hair and [[BadassBiker rides a motorcycle]]) who can [[SummonMagic summon]] {{mons}}ters and [[HyperspaceArsenal generate weapons out of thin air]] for battling DemonicInvaders, infiltrating and destroying a KillSat, and eventually [[spoiler:[[ThereCanBeOnlyOne fighting each other to the "death"]].]] May also contain {{Robot Girl}}s, [[spoiler:crossdressing]] {{Ninja}}s, {{Ancient Conspirac|y}}ies, and a [[WeirdMoon constant full moon that's visible even in full sunlight]].

** VideoGame/NarutoShippudenUltimateNinjaStormRevolution has the ninja robot Mecha Naruto.

** Don't forget that the team that defeated her included a [[WingedHumanoid winged]], [[HalfHumanHybrid half]]-{{tengu}} albino [[{{Youkai}} demon]] {{BFS}}-wielding {{Samurai}} [[DemonSlaying demon-slayer]] ([[HunterOfHisOwnKind think about that]]) [[UsefulNotes/{{Onmyodo}} Onmyouji]], lesbian with a BodyGuardCrush in [[CatGirl cat ears]] and [[{{Meido}} maid]] [[{{Cosplay}} clothes]] who [[ReverseShrapnel can shoot swords]].

* ''Anime/NinjaSenshiTobikage'', an obscure anime from the 80's, has [[TransformingMecha animal themed transforming]] [[CombiningMecha combining]] {{Ninja}} [[HumongousMecha mecha]]. The titular Tobikage is a [[NinjaPirateZombieRobot ninja robot]]. Heck, in some countries, its title ''was'' translated as ''Ninja Robots''
* From ''Manga/OnePiece'', we have Franky (a {{Transforming|Mecha}} {{cyborg}} pirate shipwright [[ItRunsOnNonsensoleum powered by cola]]), Brook (a [[FunnyAfro afro-wearing]] [[DirtyOldMan perverted]] [[DemBones skeleton]] pirate musician who can [[WalkOnWater run across water]]), and Jimbei (a [[FantasticFightingStyle karate using]] yazuka looking [[FishPeople Fishman]] pirate that acts as the helmsmen of the crew). And those three are just a few members of the Strawhats.

* ''Anime/SpacePatrolLuluco'' has Over Justice, a [[WreathedInFlames flaming]] [[DemBones skeleton]] [[SpacePolice space police]] [[DaChief chief]] [[spoiler:that also turns into a gun.]]
* ''Anime/StrikeWitches''. Repeat with me: Mecha Fighter pilot [[MagicalGirl Magical]] CatGirl Lolis in PoweredArmor. None of them wears skirts or pants. One of the leads also has a weakspot-revealing [[EyepatchOfPower eyepatch]] and [[KatanasAreJustBetter wields a katana]]. You just can't get any more awesome than that!

* Episode 4 of ''Anime/WelcomeToTheNHK'' does this with {{Moe}}, to produce the 'perfect' {{eroge}} heroine: a wheelchair-bound blind [[{{Meganekko}} glasses-wearing]] alien [[RobotGirl robot]] ghost [[{{Meido}} maid]] with a [[{{Tsundere}} split personality]], Alzheimers and a terminal illness who is a [[VictoriousChildhoodFriend childhood friend]] and classmate of the protagonist, and who was his lover in a [[{{Reincarnation}} previous life]]. [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/NHK_Moe_Manga.png The result is more disturbing than hoped, though]].

* ''LightNovel/BodaciousSpacePirates'' introduces several other pirate crews in its final arc. Including one that has a ninja theme going. Ninja Space Pirates has gotta count.

* Ladies, gentlemen and critters, [[http://www.imfdb.org/wiki/File:TaserFMP.jpg observe a screenshot]] from ''LightNovel/FullMetalPanic'', where you may see an elf with taser gun and a teddy bear running around in body armor.

* This was the point of ''LightNovel/HaruhiSuzumiya'''s [[ShowWithinAShow student film]], which was about a [[TimeTravel time-travelling]] MagicalGirl [[NinjaMaid Battle]] [[FanserviceWithASmile Waitress]] and strove to fit every [[JapaneseMediaTropes Japanese Media Trope]] they could manage into 21.5 minutes.

* The 2010 ''Anime/IronMan'' anime adaptation preview by Madhouse: [[{{Mecha}} Tony]] [[PoweredArmor Stark]] flies around futuristic Tokyo to battle the PrettyBoy villain's army of humanoid mecha '''fired from a missile launcher'''. The villain himself has BeehiveBarrier and a PoweredArmor that looks like medieval armour.

* A ridiculous amount of things in ''Manga/GetterRobo'', particularly ''anything'' created by the Dinosaur Empire (since all their creations are by default "[[EverythingsBetterWithDinosaurs Dinosaur]] + 'x'". [[ShockingMoments A ''T. rex'' attached to a twin-barrelled giant tank being backed up by dinosaurs with guns riding on the backs of dinosaurs with missile pods attached while robot pterodactyls fly overhead? Happens all the time]].

* Episode 4 of ''Anime/WelcomeToTheNHK'' does this with {{Moe}}, to produce the 'perfect' {{eroge}} heroine: a wheelchair-bound blind [[{{Meganekko}} glasses-wearing]] alien [[RobotGirl robot]] ghost [[{{Meido}} maid]] with a [[{{Tsundere}} split personality]], [[IllGirl Alzheimers and a terminal illness]] who is a [[VictoriousChildhoodFriend childhood friend]] and classmate of the protagonist, and who was his lover in a [[{{Reincarnation}} previous life]]. [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/NHK_Moe_Manga.png The result is more disturbing than hoped, though]].

** [[UpToEleven And then]] he gets [[spoiler:the powers of Hell]] in one of the movies!

* Between the beginning and end of any series connected to ''Anime/BubblegumCrisis'', the Boomers will evolve from standard cyborgs into magical floating fusing ghost zombie cyborgs. Special mention to the [[SexBot Sexaroids]] from the OVA, who are LesbianVampire Robots ''[[RecycledInSpace from Space]]''!

* The original ''Anime/MobileSuitGundam'' has some instances of this, most obviously in Episode 37 (or 36 in the English dub), "The Duel at Texas." Samurai vs. Knight in the Wild West [[RecycledINSPACE IN SPACE]]!!

** ''Anime/MacrossFrontier'' has an Afro'd HotBlooded HoYay ''Male'' BridgeBunny, a TokenMiniMoe [[YouGottaHaveBlueHair Blue-Haired]] GenkiGirl who can become the [[OneeSama Big Sister]] AmazonianBeauty (just add water), and a {{Bifauxnen}} JerkWithAHeartOfGold just to name a few; it's like the series '''tried''' to put together all of the most incompatible tropes just to see how it would turn out. [[spoiler:And it WORKS]].

* ''Anime/MyHime''. It revolves around HighSchool-aged {{Magical Girl}}s (one of whom [[YouGottaHaveBlueHair has blue hair]] and [[BadassBiker rides a motorcycle]]) who can [[SummonMagic summon]] {{mons}}ters and [[HyperspaceArsenal generate weapons out of thin air]] for battling DemonicInvaders, infiltrating and destroying a KillSat, and eventually [[spoiler:[[ThereCanBeOnlyOne fighting each other to the "death"]].]] May also contain {{Robot Girl}}s, [[spoiler:crossdressing]] {{Ninja}}s, {{Ancient Conspirac|y}}ies, and a [[WeirdMoon constant full moon that's visible even in full sunlight]].

* ''Franchise/JoJosBizarreAdventure'' loves this. First, it's vampires and zombie vampires who are fought with [[Manga/FistOfTheNorthStar Hokuto Shin Ken]]. Then it's [[OurVampiresAreDifferent better vampires who eat vampires]] fighting a Brit, an Italian, and a cyborg Nazi who looks like [[Franchise/StreetFighter Guile]]. Then a [[OurVampiresAreDifferent vampire]] who can [[TimeStandsStill stop time]] and his [[MonsterOfTheWeek buddies]] with wacky PsychicPowers fighting two Japanese [[OrdinaryHighSchoolStudent high school students]] (also with said PsychicPowers), the aformentioned Brit (now a CoolOldGuy who looks like Creator/SeanConnery), a Muslim fortune teller who can control fire, a [[EveryoneLooksSexierIfFrench Frenchman]] with [[AnimeHair ridiculous hair]] seeking to [[MyNameIsInigoMontoya avenge his sister,]] and a supersmart dog who can control sand. Those are just the first three parts.

* [[ANaziByAnyOtherName Nazis]], [[HalfHumanHybrid human-animal hybrids]], [[ViewerGenderConfusion genderless]] {{shapeshifter}}s, {{ninja}}s, a cute little [[AnimeChineseGirl pseudo-Chinese]] princess [[GeometricMagic that can use magic]] and has [[RidiculouslyCuteCritter a dwarf]] [[HeadPet panda]] as a pet, [[NightOfTheLivingMooks mutated zombies]], spy prostitutes, and housewives that punch bears in the face: all these and more in ''Manga/FullmetalAlchemist''.

** And has an ass-chin. Let's not forget BigBad's [[FanNickname ass-chin]]. Fay's eyepatch is more EyeScream than EyePatchOfPower, given that [[spoiler:he lost said eye when said half-Chinese KidHero's clone ripped it out and ''ate it''.]]

* There's a character in the second season of ''Anime/DarkerThanBlack'' who's a [[TheSociopath sociopathic]] PsychoLesbian [[GratuitousNinja ninja]] with a {{Wooden|KatanasAreEvenBetter}} {{Laser|Blade}} {{Katana|sAreJustBetter}}. And the main character had a fully-earned FanNickname of Chinese Electric Batman.

* Thanks to {{The Reveal}}s in ''Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica'', we now have [[spoiler: MagicalGirl [[OurLichesAreDifferent Lich]] [[WitchSpecies Witches]]!]]
** [[spoiler: And seeing as how Witches are basically {{Eldritch Abomination}}s, this results in MagicalGirl [[OurLichesAreDifferent Lich]] [[WitchSpecies Witch]] [[EldritchAbomination Abominations]]]]! And one of them [[spoiler:is a [[TimeStandsStill time-stopping]] {{Time Travel}}er with a HyperspaceArsenal [[MoreDakka big enough to wage a one-girl war]]]], and another (the title character) eventually [[spoiler:takes the Witch and Abomination out of the equation and becomes a MagicalGirl [[OurLichesAreDifferent Lich]] [[OurGodsAreDifferent Goddess]] and [[AbstractApotheosis the Personification of Hope]] for her universe]]!
