History YMMV / TenjhoTenge

* RetroactiveRecognition: The anime version had Aya being voiced by Creator/MinoriChihara in her debut role. Give her a few years to explode in popularity as [[LightNovel/HaruhiSuzumiya Yuki Nagato]], which defined her TypeCasting as the super [[TheStoic stoic]] EmotionlessGirl and a ''far'' cry from Aya, who's normally being [[TheDitz a sweet ditz.]]

* RelationshipWritingFumble: It's almost sad, really, how Aya's Yuri scene with Chiaki went way further than she ever did with Souichiro. That scene was, of course, meant to appease [[YuriFan certain viewers]] but to be fair even Chiaki [[LampshadeHanging lampshaded]] how even she is more aware of what to do with Aya than Souichiro ever was.

* EarWorm: The intro, "Bomb A Head", is so obnoxious yet catchy. It can be heard [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yuz01t_9wtg here]].
** Referenced in ''VisualNovel/{{Clannad}}'', in which the song is a favorite of one of the characters.

* CompleteMonster: [[BigBad Sohaku Kago]] is a power-hungry [[TheSociopath sociopath]] who delights in ruining people's lives. Two of his favorite pastimes are engaging in ColdBloodedTorture and watching one of his subordinates MindControl helpless victims into fighting and killing each other. He has spent hundreds of years spreading his influence in order to [[ManipulativeBastard manipulate]], use, or kill hundreds of powerful martial artists as well as all the people around them. A few years before the beginning of the story, he experimented on his wife, using her PowerParasite abilities to steal the abilities (and in most cases, lives) of the most powerful martial artists in Japan, before judging her too weak, [[AnArmAndALeg cutting off her arm]], and [[EyeScream ripping out her eye]] (which contained the powers she had collected) and giving it to his [[TheDragon dragon]]. Flash forward to the present, and he sets his full plan into motion, indirectly {{Mind Rap|e}}ing his son, [[spoiler: Souichiro]], who has the same powers as his ex-wife, into letting his powers turn him into a god-like being whose only purpose is to go on a rampage, killing any powerful martial artists it comes across and stealing their powers. Once this happens, his son goes around the world, killing thousands of people, just as Sohaku planned, before his friends can stop him.

* CounterpartComparison: Bunshichi Tawara shares many things in common with [[Manga/SamuraiDeeperKyo Bontenmaru]]. Such as [[UnskilledButStrong technique]], [[ChivalrousPervert personality]] as well as the fact that they are both BadassNormal. Many have also noticed the similarities between Bontenmaru’s beast mode and Bunshichi’s Rage technique.

** Despite her role decreasing as the story goes on, Emi Isuzu is probably the most widely known character from the series. This is because of her {{Tsundere}} personality, her interesting design and, most notably of all, her ability to switch between being skinny and obese. Likewise, her fight with Maya is the most well known one in the anime, having much higher views on YouTube than the other fights from the series. What's more, you can find ''plenty'' of fan art of her on Website/DeviantArt. Not surprising, since a surprisingly high number of people on the site are [[FatAdmirer fat admirers]] and view her as a BigBeautifulWoman, whether the author intended it or not.

** Jushi Mataza's story is rather heartbreaking as well, if only because his brother was a massively abusive and hateful prick.

* MagnificentBastard: Souhaku, textbook to the last.

** Masataka Takayanagi is well liked among the fandom, despite being DemotedToExtra amongst the main cast for some time. He returns to prominence near the manga's final arcs, [[spoiler: defeating Mitsuomi in a brutal fight]] and culminating in [[spoiler: a battle against Souichiro that buys enough time for Maya to remove Souichiro's Red Feather abilities for good.]]
