History YMMV / BludgeoningAngelDokuroChan

* AudienceAlienatingPremise: Bear with us here: an angel comes back in time to repeatedly and brutally murder (and promptly reanimate) a junior high student, in order to stop him from creating a 'pedophile's world' where all females don't age past 12 years old. And it's a ''comedy!''

* ShoutOut: when Dokuro and Sakura are walking alone in the forest and Dokuro is saying how she doesn't believe in ghosts and monsters, Sakura replies something along the lines of: "But you're an angel, and if you exist then all those other things must be real too! [[Manga/Doraemon Like robot cats from the future]], [[Manga/OnePiece reindeer doctors]], [[Anime/NurseWitchKomugi nurse witches]] and [[Anime/HowlsMovingCastle moving castles]] ...they must all be real!"

* UnintentionallyUnsympathetic: Although the titular Dokuro is meant to simultaneously be a sympathetic and hilarious HeroicComedicSociopath, she can fall square here due to her ''immense'' cruelty towards Sakura; she nigh-constantly torments or [[LudicrousGibs brutally murders him]], often for [[ForTheEvulz sadistic kicks]] or during {{Disproportionate Retribution}}s. When he reduces her to tears in the season one finale (See "Why Would Anyone Take Her Back Below"), it comes off as a KickTheSonOfABitch moment with her being a ThinSkinnedBully[[note]]albeit one with the "Bully" part dialed up[[/note]] and not the TearJerker it's clearly supposed to be.

* AudienceAlienatingPremise: An angel comes back in time to [[TheyKilledKennyAgain repeatedly]] and [[LudicrousGibs brutally murder]] (and soon resurrect) a junior high student. She also wants to stop him from creating a "pedophile's world" where all females are immortal by not aging past 12 years old. And it's a ''[[BlackComedy COMEDY]]''!

* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: Some theorize Sakura is a latent masochist; he easily puts up with Dokuro tormenting/[[LudicrousGibs brutally killing him]] [[TooKinkyToTorture and even avoiding opportunities]] to get rid of her.

* CatharsisFactor: Even if it wasn't his intent, Sakura being tricked into taking Dokuro's halo, which causes her to explosive diarrhea.
** In fact, any time Sakura calls her out on her behavior towards him, or in general.

** Sabato is forced to fend for herself and live in an improvised shelter beneath a bridge; she isn't allowed to return to the future (where she resides) until she accomplishes her mission of killing Sakura. The first season's ending depicts her gloomily sitting inside her haven as she watches the rain pouring. The sad song accompanying it ("Survive") also just adds to the feeling of sorrow, discomfort, and loneliness of her predicament.

** In two episodes, near the end of the ending song, a puppy emerges from inside Sabato's cardboard home and she puts it on her lap. This makes the scene take a slightly more [[SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoment heartwarming]] tone. But in a later episode, the cardboard is completely empty until the same puppy comes out and looks into the distance alone, apparently waiting for Sabato to return. The [[TheStinger following scene]] shows Sabato was forced to flee as the police attempted to capture her, [[FridgeHorror meaning she never came back and the puppy was most likely abandoned]].
** In the second season, Sabato moved to yet another cardboard box and her living conditions have gone FromBadToWorse. She's seen bemoaning and begging her mother to come back home and it's implied she caught a serious cold. The last we see of her, she's crying in frustration because she threw her home in the garbage and is now completely homeless.

%%* TheWoobie: Sabato. Sakura counts as one as well.

* WhyWouldAnyoneTakeHerBack: It's clear Dokuro is a horrible excuse of both a person and a LoveInterest for Sakura. However, these lines say it all when he's given an opportunity to get her out of his life:

[[WhatAnIdiot But even still, the last thing that I would ever want to do is to send [her] back to the future world]]!

* WhatAnIdiot: Several instances.
** In one episode, Sabato starts trying to convince Sakura into having sex with her.\\
'''You'd Expect:''' For him to IgnoreTheFanservice and dismiss her, as she's probably only doing so to get a chance to kill (or do something shady with) him; until Dokuro interrupted, she flat-out told him that she would electrocute him should he not come with her.\\
'''Instead:''' He ignores what she tried to do him previously and agrees to "[[SexualEuphemism show [her his] best moves]]"[[note]]he says "...my best move is a front somersault with my legs spread" in the original Japanese version[[/note]].\\
'''Therefore:''' Sabato gets fairly close to killing him.
** A wet Sabato tries killing Sakura using her weapon Durandal, which electrocutes the target.\\
'''You'd Expect:''' For her to take him to another room, dry off her weapon, and then kill him there.\\
'''Instead:''' [[DidntThinkThisThrough She tries electrocuting him there]].\\
'''Therefore:''' She accidentally shocks herself.
** Sakura gets an opportunity to get rid of [[{{Jerkass}} Dokuro]] forever and have his normal school life back where she's not [[LudicrousGibs violently killing]] or otherwise abusing him. Or [[AllOfTheOtherReindeer tormented by his classmates]].\\
'''You'd Expect:''' Sakura would absolutely '''jump''' at it. He even makes an (unintended) [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech "The Reason You Suck" Speech]] that [[KickTheSonOfABitch calls her out for all of the cruel and unfair injustices she did to him]].\\
'''Instead:''' [[WhyWouldAnyoneTakeHerBack Sakura doesn't want her to leave and basically says he doesn't mind all of the abuse as long as she's with him]].\\
'''Therefore:''' He continues being abused by Dokuro, who (despite [[ThinSkinnedBully clearly being hurt]] by said [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech speech]]) continues to show nil signs of trying to improve her [[DomesticAbuser abusive]] behavior.
