History Series / MajisukaGakuen

* GadgeteerGenius: Hakase built himself a number of [[StaticStunGuns handheld shock devices]] to incapacitate enemies, and later [[spoiler:a lethal shock projectile launcher concealed in a trumpet]] for Garake and [[spoiler:a powerful satchel charge]] for Manji. Drei is also good with spy gadgets.

* GadgeteerGenius: Hakase built himself a number of [[StunGuns handheld shock devices]] to incapacitate enemies, and later [[spoiler:a lethal shock projectile launcher concealed in a trumpet]] for Garake and [[spoiler:a powerful satchel charge]] for Manji. Drei is also good with spy gadgets.

* SkirtOverSlacks: Team Hinabe's Kusogaki and Kenpou wear their team track pants under their uniform skirts.

* NonNaziSwastika: Manji is named after the left-facing swastika (卍) and hates Kaiser and Gosaki Land.

* CreepyCoolCrosses: Black and Jumbo both wear rosaries. Minami wears a small one in Season 5.

* DoItYourSelfThemeTune: The opening song "Yuri wo Sakaseru ka?" ("Will you make the lily bloom?") is a BraggingThemeTune in which Lily warns her "annoying" and "lame" potential bullies not to mess with her unless they want to get beat up. The chorus ends with Oguri Yui (Lily) singing the line "''atashi ga Lily''" ("[[IAmSong I am the Lily]]").

* SeriesContinuityError: While the events of ''RAI'' and ''LOUDNESS'' could roughly overlap, the CharacterDevelopment of Null and Tausend are quite different in each of them and it makes more sense to assume they're different continuities set after the first stage play.

* PsychoticLoveTriangle: Kaiser, Eins, and Zwei are in a love triangle. Kaiser is a delusional tyrant and Zwei [[spoiler:would even resort to arson]] to get noticed by Kaiser.

** The prayer for Kaiser, "Gott erhalte den Kaiser", is very similar to the title of the anthem for Emperor Francis II of the UsefulNotes/HolyRomanEmpire and Austrian Empire, "Gott erhalte Franz den Kaiser". The melody is still used for the current German national anthem.

* MindRape: Torigoya's power.
* MismatchedEyes: Nobunaga in the third season.

* ProductPlacement: In their stage play guest appearance, Suda Akari and Onishi Momoka show off their real-life photobooks to the Hana-gumi.

* ''Majimuri Gakuen Stage Play'' (2018)
* ''Majimuri Gakuen: Rai'' (2021) and ''Majimuri Gakuen: Loudness'' (2021), both set two years after the first play

* SchoolgirlLesbians: Eins is Kaiser's "number one" in more ways than one. Zwei, the number two captain, is the latter's HopelessSuitor.

* BoundandGagged:

* Bound and Gagged:

* Bound and Gagged: Hina in Episode 2.

* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: Yuko's Rappappa in season 1 is the only generation which has Queens with actual [[StockSuperpowers superpowers]], namely Black with her SuperSpeed or FlashStep and Torigoya with her MindRape power (Gekikara is just AxCrazy).

** Maeda in season 1 tries to stay away from brawls and focus on her studies, yet everybody keeps pushing her BerserkButton. This is no longer the case in season 2 as she becomes a {{Vigilante}}.

The third stage play installment, ''Majimuri Gakuen LOUDNESS'', was announced in July 2021 and would be performed in August. The cast this time features members from all [=AKB48=] teams, quite a few characters have changed allegiance, and the story focuses on the conflict between the student council and Arechi. Notably, series protagonist Lily (and the Hana-gumi) is not part of the main cast, and there are three main characters like in the second stage play: first and second stage play antagonists Nero and Null, and new character König.

* ''Majimuri Gakuen: Rai'' (2021)
* Untitled ''Majimuri Gakuen'' sequel (2021)

* ThemeTuneCameo: "Sakura no Shiori", the ending for the first season, is Majisuka's hymn. It's also Yuuko's favourite song, and she usually sings or hums it.

* ThemeTuneCameo: The Aquarium girls perform the theme song, "High Tension", in the club and it goes viral.

* AbsurdlyDividedSchool: The Arashigaoka Gakuen student body is divided into citizen and commoner social classes. See also FantasticCasteSystem below.

** [[spoiler:Hina is abducted by Gigant Kong and is then persuaded to become an honorary citizen and join the Shin Schutzstaffel]]. After Lily moved back to Tokyo, it's revealed that many former Hana-gumi supporters have also joined Kaiser's side with the same offer, including her classmate Kotaro.

* FantasticCasteSystem: The school has a strict hierarchy of citizens (''senmin'') and commoners (''heimin'') determined by each student's parents' occupation and standing with Gosaki Land, somewhat like the ''patrician'' and ''plebeian'' classes of ancient Rome (although unlike in Rome, apparently the commoners have voting rights), and it's implied that the entire town also implements this to some degree. Commoner students are required to pay tribute in coins every morning before entering the school grounds. It gets worse when Kaiser declares in her speech to open the academic year that commoners are not fit to look at the sky and should cherish their feet, "the only form of freedom they have", and henceforth should keep their heads down at all times. [[spoiler:After the TimeSkip, there's a new "honorary citizen" (''meiyo senmin'') class to attract commoners to support the student council's side]].

* LibertyOverProsperity: The opportunity to [[spoiler:become honorary citizens]] and improve their lives under Kaiser's regime is [[NotBrainwashed tempting enough]] for many commoners to abandon the revolution. [[spoiler:Including Hina]].

* UtopiaJustifiesTheMeans: The city is called Utopia Arashigaoka and Kaiser wants to make it a real one for herself and her followers, at the expense of the commoner students who ''aren't even allowed to look at the sky''. [[spoiler:Because of the Hana-gumi threat, she later revises her stance and allows commoners who are willing to support her to become honorary citizens, causing many of them to betray the Hana-gumi]].
