History Webcomic / HowIKilledYourMaster

->"It is simple, Chan Sen. You can kill me and avenge your master, '''or''' you can listen to me and '''surpass''' him."
-->--'''Liu Wong'''

* BelligerentSexualTension: Between Wong and Fang Lin.
* TheBigGuy: Zhang.
* BloodKnight: Zhang.
* BoisterousBruiser: Zhang.
* BoldInflation

* ContrivedCoincidence: Wong and Lin are talking about the three factions that want to get a hold of the governor's imperial seal so they can rule the region. Then, in the middle of the conversation, Wong ''just happens'' to pull the seal out of a well when he goes to get a drink. Then, while he's examining it, who shows up? The bandits Wong had fought twice before, who ''just happen'' to belong to one of the factions.

* ScheduleSlip / SeriesHiatus: A few changes and interruptions have occurred within the schedule, partly due to other commitments and partly due to trying to find a schedule which worked for them. Currently on hold since February 2011, despite repeated assurances from the authors that it will be resumed. ''Webcomic/TheDreadful'' was actually created so the fans could read something else by Matt Speroni while waiting for HIKYM updates.

Notable for a consistently strong art style and dead-serious writing on-par with the greatest Kung Fu epics. Currently on hiatus since February 2011, though both Clevinger and Speroni have said it will eventually continue. You can find it [[http://www.nuklearpower.com/hikym here]].

* MightyGlacier: Zhang, of Meng Qi's merry little band. The man is ''huge''. And apparently can't keep up with the gang when they're off running to rescue Fang Lin.

* FragileSpeedster: WordOfGod states that Wong is a speed fighter while Fang Lin relies on her physical strength more than speed.

* PreAsskickingOneLiner: Fang Lin and Wong run into [[RandomEncounter a bunch of bandits]]/

** Prior to the series' first CurbStompBattle, one of the opponents taunts Master Fei about how long it's been since anyone heard of him fighting. [[BondOneLiner After the fight,]] [[http://www.nuklearpower.com/2009/12/11/how-i-killed-your-master-032/ Master Fei explains why]].

** Zhang, going by the streaks in his BadassBeard,.
* BaldOfAwesome: Master Fei. Some would call it a BaldOfEvil, but he's more of a JerkAss than outright evil.

* CherryTapping: After Wong is [[CurbstompBattle curbstomped]] by five Tiger Knuckle students, the sixth appears to beat him with a [[http://www.nuklearpower.com/2010/04/02/how-i-killed-your-master-052/ bitch slap]].

* DoesNotUnderstandSarcasm: Zhang is very literal-minded.

* GenreSavvy: Chan Sen. [[ArrogantKungFuGuy Mildly]]. When [[OldMaster Wong]] asks him to sit and listen, Chan Sen does. Someone's been reading Literature/{{Discworld}}.
* GoodIsNotNice: Master Fei, along with the rest of the Five Dragons, dedicated his life to protecting those who couldn't fight for themselves. He's also an utter [[RetiredBadass badass]] and an [[ArrogantKungFuGuy arrogant]] [[JerkAss dick]] with a HairTriggerTemper.

* HumiliationConga: Wong's welcome at the Tiger Knuckle School. He arrives boasting to the headmistress about how he's a ''master'' of the Five Mantis Fists, then contemptuously dismisses the school's most accomplished student because she's a girl. He proceeds to get [[CurbstompBattle his ass kicked]] by every single student, one by one. In descending order of their skill. In old-age retrospect, he decides it was a humiliation he sorely needed.

* SlasherSmile: [[http://www.nuklearpower.com/2011/01/18/how-i-killed-your-master-073/ "Brother Zhang, our 'Papers'."]]
