8	!!These works provide examples of:
9
10	* ArtEvolution: Arts in original series and RV are slightly different and improved. And then there's some people who say Musashi in ''RV'' looks like [[Anime/PokemonTheSeries Ash Ketchum]].
11	* CompanionCube: The fishers are all very attached to their fishing rods and lures.
12	%%* GottaCatchThemAll: The "Legender" lures.
13	%%* GreenAesop: Release the fish after catching it, etc... %% Needs more elaboration after the etc.
14	* HeelFaceTurn: BB, [[spoiler:and BigBad of the first season in the very end. His son Kuki Jr. turns good too in the end of the RV series.]]
15	%%* MissingMom
16	* NoHuggingNoKissing: There is some ShipTease in ''Grander Musashi RV'', but there's never any confirmed {{official couple}}s. Though the first series and manga were, IIRC, more obvious about Musashi x Mio ship teasing.
17	%%* Power Trio: Musashi, Mio, and Suguru, although most of the work and spotlight goes to TheHero.
18	%% * OvershadowedByAwesome: Mio and Suguru in ''RV'', due to loads of awesome rivals and their custom lures.
19	* SeriousBusiness: Sports fishing is often a matter of life or death, especially in ''RV''. There's even an academy that trains would-be anglers in the dark arts of fishing. In the sequel, seven divine lures that everybody is after created by Poseidon ''are the reason for the sinking of Atlantis''.
20	* SoLastSeason: In the first series, Musashi's fishing rod and his Orcaizer lure were special. In the next season, his friends Mio and Suguru get similar rods and Orcaizers, while Musashi's rod is mystically changed when his Orcaizer becomes the King Orcaizer.
21	* TimeSkip: The sequel series is set a few years after the first.
22	%%* TournamentArc: Happens in China. %% Event happen in location doesn't qualify as a valid explaination on how the trope works.
23	* TrainingFromHell: When Musashi's undergo a training under a BigBad. AdvancingWallOfDoom included.
24	%% * WalkingShirtlessScene: Running ''naked'' scene, in the middle of the rain, to boot. %% Needs more context, for instance wwhos' the naked one?
