4	Chacha is an orphaned girl who lives with Seravy-- the World's Greatest Magician-- in a tiny cottage at the top of Mochi-mochi mountain. Seravy tried to teach Chacha magic, but her spells [[IneptMage always go awry]]. When Chacha goes to the magic school, she meets Riiya the wolfboy and another apprentice magician named Shiine (pronounce it She-neh). When the three are together, Chacha can transform into "Magical Princess" in order to fight the minions of Daimaou, the Great Devil King.

6	Akazukin Chacha (赤ずきんチャチャ, literally meaning "Red Riding Hood Chacha"), occasionally written in English as ''Lil' Red Riding Hood CHA-CHA'' is a CuteWitch [[GagSeries gag manga series]] that was strongly influenced by the Literature/LittleRedRidingHood story. Written by Min Ayahama, it ran in Shueisha's ''Magazine/{{Ribon}}'' from 1991 to 2000 with 13 volumes. An anime series was produced by Creator/StudioGallop and Nihon Ad Systems (NAS) for Creator/TVTokyo's 6PM timeslot and ran from 1994 to 1995. In an attempt to compete with ''Anime/SailorMoon'', the adaptation gave Chacha a transformation that turned her into a MagicalGirlWarrior, complementing it with all of the hallmarks of the now-standard magical girl anime. The anime was preceded by another of ''Ribon'''s Cute Witch series, ''Manga/HimechansRibbon'' and would later be followed by two more ''Ribon'' series, ''Manga/NurseAngelRirikaSOS'', and ''Manga/{{Kodocha}}'', all of which shared production companies. The series was quite popular during its heyday, lasting for 74 episodes and even spawning three OVA episodes from 1995 to 1996, sometime after the series ended. It even had at least three video game adaptations, appearing on the Platform/GameBoy and Platform/SuperFamicom and the obscure PC-FX.

8	Like with ''Hime-chan's Ribbon'' before it, the anime's opening, Kimi-iro Omoi (You Color My Feelings), was initially performed by SMAP (in which Riiya's voice actor, Shingo Katori, was the youngest member of), though strangely, starting with a laserdisc boxset released in 1997, the theme was rearranged, with the new version being by Shoko Sawada. Apparently, [=JVCKenwood=] Victor Entertainment (SMAP's exclusive CD contracting company), King Records (who held the publishing rights for the television broadcast), and Johnny & Associates (SMAP's talent agency) couldn't reach an agreement on the rights of the song's usage, leading to this decision. Something must have been cleared in recent years as the original version of the opening was used when the series was broadcast on [[Creator/{{Animax}} BS Animax]] from February 2020 to spring 2021, and would also used when the series was distributed on d-anime Store's streaming service on August 2021. Finally, On the anime's 30th anniversary, it was announced that the series would be getting a Blu-ray box scheduled to be released on April 24th, containing the original SMAP opening theme. Johnny & Associates' change in management and eventual renaming into Starto Entertainment around this time was possibly at least one contributing factor.

10	Time has shown to have been kind to this series, getting a significant ColbertBump from ''Literature/AnotherNote'', whose VillainProtagonist is a huge fan of this manga. In 2011, two new one-shot sequel manga under the title of ''Akazukin Chacha N'' were published in the May 2011 and January 2012 issues of Cookie Magazine. ''Akazukin Chacha N'' then became a monthly series from 2012 to 2019. In 2022, the series was also featured alongside the other series in the Studio Gallop's ''Ribon''-quartet as well as ''Manga/FullMoon'', in a pop-up eatery in Shibuya, Tokyo, known as the ''Eternal Shojo Cafe''.
11	----
12	!!This series provides examples of the following tropes:
13	* AerithAndBob: Well, some of these names like Dorothy sound reasonable, but who names their kid "Chacha"? Even by Japanese standards, the name seems odd.
14	* AlwaysSomeoneBetter: The main source of Dorothy's frustrations with Seravy, who both does magic better and can actually cook and clean, unlike her.
15	* AlternateUniverse: The ''Akazukin Chacha N'' manga, despite being a sequel, takes place in modern-day Tokyo.
16	* AnachronismStew: There’s a load of fantastic elements, machines and laboratories, arcade centers and and modern mail-delivery guys in the same universe.
17	* AnimeChineseGirl: Mayachon, the teacher of the orange class, wears a Chinese tunic, has a Chinese-esque name, and uses martial arts to fight.
18	* AscendedExtra: Orin the pink ninja girl? Yeah, she's been in class with the rest the whole time. She is first seen in episode 7.
19	* BackForTheFinale: All the villains (except for Daimaou) attended [[spoiler: Seravy & Dorothy's wedding.]]
20	* BadassAdorable: All of the kids fall under this to some degree, but Orin is clearly the standout example.
21	* BeachEpisode: Where Riiya met Marine. Daimaou's spy even tells the viewers that it's a beach episode.
22	* BeastAndBeauty: Umibouzu and Marine, despite the former's sincere feelings getting brushed off by the latter.
23	* BelligerentSexualTension:
24	** Seravy and Dorothy's chemistry run on this. Seravy wishes Dorothy would return to how she originally was when they were young (when she was still a demure lady-type with natural golden curled locks, instead of the feisty amazon with magically dyed red-pink straight hair that she is now) and Dorothy hates the fact that he's always going to be magically better than her, no matter what she does (ironically, it's eventually revealed that it's actually is ''his love for her'' which inspires him to be all-powerful, the sheer purity of which enables him to constantly surpass any and all limitations).
25	** There's also Rascal-sensei and Mayachon-sensei, who were childhood rivals, but are secretly attracted to each other, though they CanNotSpitItOut.
26	* BettyAndVeronica:
27	** Slightly downplayed with the dynamics between the main trio. Chacha's the Archie here, while Riiya is the foolish Betty and Shiine is the slightly cocky and confident Veronica.
28	** Chacha herself becomes the Betty to Marine's Veronica, with both frequently fighting over their Archie, Riiya.
29	* BewareTheNiceOnes: We only see Barabaraman get mildly miffed once but creepy roots grow when he gets mad.
30	* BigBad: Daimaou (anime only). [[spoiler: However, he doesn’t serve as this throughout the whole show, as Chacha destroys him in Episode 50.]]
31	* BigDamnHeroes: Seravy always coming to the rescue while wearing poor disguises.
32	* BlessedWithSuck: Poppy's telepathy.
33	* BreakingTheFourthWall: After Marine walks away angry at Chacha again, she notices people are staring so she switches to her "nice girl" mode because it's a Shojo anime.
34	* ButtMonkey: Barabaraman-sensei
35	* TheCameo: In OVA 1, VideoGame/PacMan gets summoned by Chacha to capture Poppy.
36	* CatGirl: Shironeko, the only female in an antagonistic group of cat people.
37	* CheerfulChild: Chacha is this naturally, while Shiine has to play this up to contrast himself from [[{{Keet}} Riiya]].
38	* ChildrenDoTheHousework: When it comes to cleaning, Dorothy can be an ever-so-slightly WickedStepmother to Shiine who regularly makes him do her cleaning and cooking. By the time the series takes place, he's grown to like it.
39	* ChromaticArrangement / FreudianTrio: Chacha (red, ego), Riiya (green, id), Shiine (blue, super ego)
40	* ClipShow: 5 of them.
41	** Episode 14 recaps Chacha's continual victories over Daimao's minions while Sorges tries to figure out how to beat her.
42	** Episode 26 is a recap of episodes 2 and 3, with the in-universe framing of Yakko and Marine looking for Seravy and Riiya while Chacha tends to Seravy's house.
43	** Episode 40 is a recap of Chacha getting the Phoenix Sword with Shiine reminiscing over breakfast.
44	** Episode 51 is mostly a recap of all the important episodes while Chacha reflects on her victory over Daimaou.
45	** Finally, Episode 65 is a recap of all the episodes Professor Mikeneko appeared in as he prepares to fight Chacha again- unaware that the world is at peace and that there is no one is fighting anymore.
46	* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Almost everyone can be this to come extent, but Chacha takes the cake, as she’s ditzy and often silly.
47	** Principal Urara isn't much better, apparently not realizing the gravity of situations.
48	* CockFight: Shiine and Riiya, a lot.
49	%%* TheComicallySerious: Access
50	* CoolSword: The Phoenix sword, a sword so powerful that not even the Magical Princess bow and arrow and damage it.
51	* CrackOhMyBack: Orin's grandpa falls victim to this in his debut appearance.
52	%% CreepyCrossdresser: Doris.
53	* CurbStompBattle:
54	** Shiine vs Umibozou the sea giant.
55	** Chacha and Pickle vs. Seravy
56	** Generally, Magical Princess vs. anyone -- all she has to do is hit them with her attack, and they're finished.
57	* CutenessProximity: People just can't help but hug Riiya in his wolf form (except for Marine, who always fails to realize that the wolf is still Riiya).
58	%%* CuteWitch: Chacha in the manga, Marin, Yakko.
59	* DarkIsNotEvil: Both Yakko and, to some extent, Rascal are parodies of this trope. Yakko looks almost like an EvilDoppelganger of Chacha, but only antagonizes Chacha because of her infatuation with Seravy and the fact that Chacha lives with him. Rascal was actually a problem child in his youth and now looks like a complete sadist who will whip anyone at a moment's notice, but he's actually a huge softie who loves cute things.
60	* DemotedToExtra: Poppy was a side character in the manga who had a recurring appearance from time to time. In the anime, he only appeared in the {{OVA}}s.
61	* DePower: [[spoiler:Chacha gives up her Magical Princess items to seal the gate to hell in episode 56.]]
62	* DidntThinkThisThrough: In Professor Mikeneko's third and final outing before he reforms, he creates the biggest mech yet, around the size of a skyscraper. However, this time it’s so big that he can’t even move it an inch.
63	* DirtyCoward: Marin in the anime when things get rough she conjurers a huge shell and hides in it.
64	* DistractedByTheSexy: Occasionally, the villains get distracted by how cute Chacha as Magical Princess is. Bariki Massuru in particular briefly stops fighting to ''try and date/kiss her''.
65	* DubNameChange: In the English dub:
66	** Orin - Suzu
67	** Piisuke - Chicky
68	** Daimao - Daimaru
69	** Que - Cula
70	** Magical Princess's weapons:
71	*** Beauty Serene Arrow - Magical Selene Arrow
72	*** Wing Kris - Wing Sword Of The Phoenix
73	*** Bird Shield - Ban Shield
74	* EnergyBall: Seravy tosses some of these in the fight against Daimaou.
75	* EvilLaugh: Daimaou loves giving these off whenever he can.
76	* FaceOfAThug: Rascal looks frightening and even has a brash personality to boot, but he adores his "precious" students and is very kind to them.
77	* FairyTaleFreeForAll: Plenty of fairy tale references abound here. For a good example, Chacha summons three pigs in Episode 4, and they attack with- what else?- straw, wood, and bricks.
78	* ForgottenChildhoodFriend: [[spoiler: Yakko had actually met Chacha, Riiya and Shiine when they were kids.]]
79	* GiantEnemyCrab: Yordas and Hadenyans turn into a giant crab and lobster in Episode 25 as part of their order to kill Sorges. Naturally, neither are any match for Magical Princess.
80	* GentleGiant: Riiya's grandfather is positivity huge, but he's got a kind soul.
81	%%* GoodCostumeSwitch: Access.
82	* GratuitousEnglish: Rascal loves to compliment beauty in English.
83	%%* HeadPet: Piisuke.
84	* HeelFaceTurn: Ultimately, ''all of the bad guys'' -- even those who do get killed and don't make repeat appearances -- with the obvious exception of the BigBad. They even appear as guests at the wedding in the series finale!
85	%%* HotBlooded: Rascal-sensei
86	* HufflepuffHouse: Banana class led by Barabaraman and Orange class led by Mayachon.
87	%%* HumongousMecha: NYANDEBER Z!
88	* HurricaneOfPuns: This makes the series impossible to dub, [[LostInTranslation at least in a way that makes sense]]. Chacha is a CuteWitch who mixes up her spells. For example, trying to summon Riiya but getting an old man (''jiya'') instead or trying to turn dandelions into clouds (''kumo'') but instead making them turn into spiders (''kumo'').
89	* {{Invocation}}: "I call upon love, courage, and hope. Magical Princess, Holy Up!"
90	* IronicName: In early episodes, the Urara School is alternatively referred to as the "Magic School", but does it actually teach magic? It looks just like your average elementary school except a lot crazier, and none of the subjects the teachers teach about are magic-related. It doesn't help that there are students in it that aren't even magicians, such as Riiya or Orin.
91	** Exaggerated with Rascal; [[WouldHurtAChild he would not hesitate to whip his students whenever they do something bad,]] but he really cares about them so much to the point where he could fight for their lives. Hell, he was criticized once because of how overly kind he is to them!
92	* LockedOutOfTheLoop: [[spoiler:The punchline of Episode 65. Professor Mikeneko goes to fight Chacha again, but when he arrives, he discovered that the world is at peace and there is no need to fight anymore. It’s not all bad as he gets nominated as the royal scientist.]]
93	* LoveAtFirstSight: Shiine claims to feel this way for Chacha, while Orin felt this way about Shiine. Also, this was how Marine became so obessed with Riiya.
94	%%* LoveMakesYouCrazy: Seravy, Yakko.
95	%%* LoveMakesYouDumb: Shiine
96	* LoveTriangle: Marin likes Riiya (but hates his wolf form, [[SelectiveObliviousness which she doesn't realize is him]]) and Orin likes Shiine, but Shiine and Riiya both like Chacha. While Chacha is oblivious to the two's attraction to her in the anime, in the manga, she returns Riiya's feelings. Pickle likes Yakko, but Yakko -- and Shironeko and Doris -- likes Seravy, who is too busy having BelligerentSexualTension with Dorothy. Access courted Dorothy for a time until he left the kingdom, and Poppy had a crush on her.
97	* LuckilyMyShieldWillProtectMe: After a bow and a sword, the next weapon Chacha gets is a magic shield.
98	* LukeIAmYourFather: [[spoiler: Access is actually Shiine's father.]]
99	* MadScientist: Professor Mikeneko, who fights Chacha three times throughout the anime with increasingly bigger mechs.
100	* MagicalGirlWarrior: Chacha's transformation in the anime.
101	* MaouTheDemonKing: Can’t get more obvious than a [[NameToRunAwayFrom main villain literally named Daimaou]].
102	* MasterOfDisguise: Seravy, Dorothy and Elisabeth. Well, kinda- their disguises are easy to see through, and Chacha and her friends tend to recognize them easily, but Daimaou’s minions are always fooled.
103	* MeaningfulName: Seravy is the Japanese pronunciation of C'est la vie, which pretty much describes his personality.
104	* MonsterOfTheWeek: Played with. While it’s very common to see a one-and-done villain, on occasion one of them would come back to fight Chacha again. Villains who did this include Que the vampire, Professor Mikeneko, and the Twin Witches. During Episode 49, Daimaou summons three previous villains to defend the castle, and every villain comes back for a cameo in the final episode.
105	* MoodWhiplash: Anything that involves Daimaou in the anime.
106	* {{Ninja}}: Orin and her grandfather.
107	* NoblewomansLaugh: Yakko and Dorothy.
108	* OcularGushers: Parodied with Riiya's grandfather, who, being a giant, nearly drowns everyone during the graduation ceremony with them.
109	* OlderAlterEgo: In her Magical Princess transformation, Chacha gains the figure of a teenage girl, presumably around the age of 16.
110	* OlderThanTheyLook: Because of the way they're drawn, Chacha and her friends look anywhere from about 6 to 10 years old, but according to the puppet show that Sevary puts on in episode 25, Chacha is actually 12 years old (And also confirmed to be a Leo), and both Riiya (born on April 1st, making him an Aries) and Shiine (A Virgo born between late August to September) are around her age.
111	* TheOnlyOneAllowedToDefeatYou: Professor Mikeneko felt really sad after finding out that [[spoiler: the Magical Princess was gone for good.]]
112	* OrcusOnHisThrone: Justified- [[spoiler: Daimaou cannot leave his castle because there’s a barrier around it preventing him from leaving, so he has to rely on his minions to attack Chacha.]]
113	* OrphanedPunchline: After the OP got a new singer to replace SMAP for home releases, all jokes and references to the latter make less sense.
114	* OurMermaidsAreDifferent: Marin can shapeshift at will to a normal human form and has elemental magical control of water.
115	* OurWerewolvesAreDifferent: Riiya comes from a family of them. He tries to invoke being a NobleWolf, but as you can see from the picture above, [[PreciousPuppies it doesn't quite take]].
116	* PaperThinDisguise: Seravy and Elizabeth, and occasionally Dorothy, will frequently watch over Chacha's group in [[WigDressAccent completely transparent disguises]].
117	* PosthumousVillainVictory: [[spoiler:Sure, Soprano did get sent back to the Evil World empty handed after being beaten by Magical Princess, but during their fight, the Gate to Hell was accidentally opened, and thus Chacha and her friends are forced to give up their [[TransformationTrinket Transformation Trinkets]] to seal it off for good. So even though Soprano didn't beat Magical Princess, in a sense, she still won against her.]]
118	* PowerOfFriendship: It’s revealed in Episode 36 that if Chacha, Riiya, and Shiine are not on good terms with each other, Chacha cannot transform.
119	* PrecisionGuidedBoomerang: The Crescent Aurora Bracelet's Assistance Boomerang, [[spoiler:which serves as Magical Princess's replacement after having all of it's items sealed along with the gates of hell]]. Although, it always turns into something else when it comes back.
120	* PrincessProtagonist: [[spoiler: Chacha, and not only because of her Magical Princess form.]]
121	* PutOnABus: Sorges decides to go into hiding after being saved from Yordas and Haideyansu. It's revealed in Episode 56 that they took up living with him after Daimaou's defeat.
122	* ReReleaseSoundtrack: The opening theme was originally sung by Music/{{SMAP}}, but in all home releases, the opening theme was re-arranged and sung by a different vocalist.
123	* ReallyRoyaltyReveal: [[spoiler:In episode 24, Chacha finds out she's the princess of the Magic Kingdom.]]
124	* ReTool: An unique case, as the anime becomes a straighter adaptation of the manga after Daimaou's defeat.
125	* SatelliteCharacter: Yordas and Haideyansu's only notable personality trait is being loyal to Daimaou and nothing else.
126	* SealedEvilInACan: Daimaou. See OrcusOnHisThrone for why.
127	* SealedGoodInACan: In contrast, Chacha's grandfather Genius was sealed in the Princess Medallion after losing a fight with Daimaou. He comes out once Daimaou's defeated.
128	* SensitiveGuyAndManlyMan: Barabaraman and Rascal.
129	** To a lesser extent, Riiya and Shiine.
130	* ShoutOut:
131	** Riiya does the Franchise/KamenRider pose when he transforms for the first time.
132	** In episode 17 is chock-full of them. The 2nd time Professor Mikeneko shows up (this time with his siblings), they suit up in their pilot outfits to initiate their robot's combining sequence akin to ''Anime/GoLion'' (one of the parent series of ''Anime/{{Voltron}}''). Their suits resemble a mix between that series and those from the ''Franchise/SuperSentai'' team ''Series/GoseiSentaiDairanger''. Earlier on, Shironeko makes a twist on the famous ''Anime/CuteyHoney'' line, "Sometimes, I'm a...". And a few scenes before suiting up, Professor Mikeneko sticks cat masks on the main trio and control them with a Platform/SuperFamicom controller.
133	** While Seravy performs a SherlockHomage in episode 20, he and Principal Urara recall the latter's victory over the Nezumi kid, including disguises such as Archangels [[ArchangelMichael Michael]] and [[ArchangelGabriel Gabriel]], [[Art/TheScreamMunch Munch's Scream]], and at least one of SMAP's band members.
134	** You could make a drinking game out of all the ''Manga/HimechansRibbon'' references. Bonus as that was another ''Magazine/{{Ribon}}'' series that previous work of the animation studio. This includes:
135	*** A red and gold Brooch that Shiine wears in episode 15 that swiftly flashes when it runs out of time.
136	*** Dorothy buying candy for the kids, with Shiine holding a package of Pokota-themed strawberry bubble gum, while Chacha has a box of caramels with Himeko on them. The actual Pokota doll (albiet inanimate and sitting upright) even appears in a later scene.
137	* SignatureLaugh: "Ohoho-no-hooooo!" from Yakko serves as her battle cry.
138	* {{Slapstick}}: All the main characters regardless of gender get put through the wringer on a regular basis in the name of comedy, especially Chacha.
139	* SnapBack: A slight aversion with this example -- Episode 19 ends with Dorothy, Shiine's master, trapped in a dungeon at her childhood home, then she's absent for much of Episode 20. In Episode 21 (the HotSpringsEpisode), she's back in the countryside near the magic school with no explanation as to how she was able to get out (FridgeLogic suggests she realized she had magic powers and poofed her way home).
140	* StalkerWithACrush:
141	** In its purest form, Seravy ''constantly'', and rather disturbingly, with his unhealthy fixation on blonde Dorothy, to the point where he makes multiple efforts to magically sabotage her hair and deliberately provokes fights with her over something that happened some fifteen years before the series began (When Chacha and co. traveled back to the moment when Dorothy changed her hair to provoke Seravy into fighting her in a magic duel in Episode 62, [[JustEatGilligan they could have told Seravy to man up so this whole example wouldn't be existent]]). The fact that, as a grown man, he's deeply attached to and constantly carries ''a doll of young Dorothy''. Which he diligently voices via ventriloquism.
142	** Less horrifically concentrated, ''everybody'' in the cast who's in love with somebody does this ''at some point'', but more often than not the female, rather than the male, members of the cast.
143	* StartOfDarkness: A 2-part time travel episode showed how Chacha and friends contributed to Dorothy's current personality and appearance.
144	* StylisticSuck: It's not that Seravy CAN'T do a good disguise, it's just that he never really bothers with it. Everybody seems to fall for his disguises however, with the exception of Riiya, who nobody believes anyway (then again, considering how powerful Seravy is, it may be a case of "The Emperor's New Clothes"-syndrome.)
145	* TerribleArtist: Marine sends an advance letter to the school administration requesting to be transferred into the banana class during her second year. Unfortunately, her banana looks more like an apple, leaving her stuck in Barabaraman's class for another year.
146	* TransformationSequence: One that gets longer and longer as the series goes on. Worse, it's never shortened at any point; the entire sequence always played out in full, and it only got longer as her arsenal expanded. And in spite of the show's comedic nature, it's hardly ever parodied; the anime just played its MagicalGirl tropes way too straight...
147	* TransformationTrinket: Medallion (Chacha), Bracelet (Riiya) and Ring (Shiine).
148	* TwoGuysAndAGirl: Cheetah the caveboy, Osu the boy with the really big head and Mary the conjurer. Also, our main trio of Chacha, Riiya, and Shiine.
149	* UglyGuyHotWife: Chacha's parents.
150	* UnderwearSwimsuit: In Episode 23, the students of Urara School have to participate in a race to a mountaintop, and the first obstacle is crosssing a lake. Riiya's solution is to simply strip to his boxers, tie his clothes on top of his head, and swim across.
151	* TheUnreveal: After the three-legged race in Episode 63, Principal Urara mentioned that [[spoiler: Chacha and Barabaraman's win]] was so memorable, she claimed she could see the result with her eyes closed. Just as she is about to turn, her eyes are conveniently covered by Piisuke, who was flying in front of her.
152	* VainSorceress: Dorothy
153	* VerbalTic:
154	** Dr. Mikeneko and Cream the pastry chef always end their sentences with "nya" and "dasu", respectively.
155	** Sorges tends to end his sentences with "gesu".
156	* VileVillainLaughableLackey: Daimaou is portrayed dead seriously as a villain and never gets any moment where he’s subjected to comedy. Not so for Sorges, Yordas and Haidenyans, who frequently get subjected to jokes.
157	* VileVillainSaccharineShow: Daimaou is so much of a contrast from the series' lighthearted zaniness that you'd swear he was ripped from a completely different anime. Sure enough, [[ReverseCerebusSyndrome whatever seriousness the anime had completely flew out the window after his defeat]].
158	* VillainBall: Daimaou for depending on Sorges for relying on him to send assassins, the only decent one, a chalkboard eraser that could have been used for intel, he forces him to fight Chacha (though that one, at least, had a second form).
159	* VisualPun: Chacha's constant magical mishaps generally manifest as these -- causing a door to "jellyfish" instead of "open up", turning dandelion fluff into an old man instead of Riiya. And no, they don't make sense in English -- see LostInTranslation above.
160	* VitriolicBestBuds:
161	** Shiine and Riiya initially hated each other as the two are in love with Chacha, thought for Chacha's sake and to maintain the ability to transform, they had to learn to get along with one another. They even warm up to each other, but they still regard each other as rivals over Chacha's affection and won't hesitate to insult or put each other down.
162	** Yakko and Marine are only friends because of their mutual hatred for Chacha, who they'll often team up with to stop a greater threat. Otherwise, none of them really get along with each other.
163	* WhamLine: In episode 32, Access was having a talk with Dorothy. This is the first thing he says:
164	-->'''Dorothy''': Why... why did you come here?\
165	'''Access''': [[spoiler: I left my son with you.]] He seems to be away.
166	* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: An odd example of this trope applying in a literal term- in Episode 20, once Nezumi Kid has his robots merge into a giant one, he disappears from the episode and is not seen again for the rest of the series, apparently being smart enough to know that fighting Magical Princess will not end well for him.
167	* WhenAllYouHaveIsAHammer: Dr. Mike-Nekko's only solution for fighting the Magical Princess is HumongousMecha. They get gradually bigger each time he appears.
168	* WhipOfDominance: Rascal takes the "whip the students into shape" idea very literally and actually carries a whip with him to school and often brandishes it around, scaring the hell out of the kids who all see him as a SadisticTeacher.
169	* WholesomeCrossdresser: Doris, who's in love with Seravy and trying to get him to fall in love with him, by making himself into the mirror-image of his sister Dorothy's original appearance (which is what Seravy is smitten with).
170	* WideEyedIdealist: Parodied by Principal Urara. The woman has no eyelids!
171	* WizardingSchool: One of the ending themes is even called ''Welcome to Magical School!''
172	* {{Yandere}}: Yakko is the harmless variety. Marine's suitor Umibouzu, when he got mind-controlled; and his sister, Umibouko (on behalf of her brother whom she felt sorry for), until he reprimanded her and made her stop.
