YMMV / 5 Elementos

Go To

  • Complete Monster: In a series filled with gags that constantly mocks its own premise, this trio stands out due to their awful actions.
    • Doctor Ebola is a virus elemental and the greatest scientist of his era. Murdering his superior to take his place, Ebola manipulates his team in order to create the forbidden Dusk Virus—a virus that empowers its host but eventually causes their death—before being discovered for the Secret Soldiers and Sebastian Rattengift. Killing all of them except Ember Llamaviva, which got accidentally infected with the Dusk Virus, Ebola moves to Beluga Town searching for Sebastian's family to obtain the Kimikoho—a ability that allowed him to see the chemical components of matter with his bare eye—before killing them except their baby Matarratas, which Ebola gives to an orphan girl to be raised as her brother while he watches them in the disguise of Desangrador, the chemistry teacher of the school, until Ebola discovered the Dusk Virus inside Kaji Llamaviva, son of Ember. Deciding that Matarratas was no longer useful, Ebola tries to kill him and his friends before being stopped. Returning later, Ebola returns to the Royal Army at the direct service of the King to help him in his invasion of the New World to reach Aya, the World Tree. Using several infected enemy Earth Elementals as workforce in an act that disgust even his colleague and former rival Colonel Blood, who Ebola murders, Ebola plans to reach its roots and infect Aya with the Dusk Virus and kill every non-Virus elemental in the world.
    • Kold Briz is a captain in a region bordering the forbidden beach. Ordered to capture the protagonists, Briz shows no mercy, even to the children. He later confesses to have participated in the genocide of Earth elementals in the infamous Day Zero and to have killed his fellow soldiers for their elements. Saving his own life by freezing himself, Briz comes back to aid in the invasion to the New World before finding his old enemies and trying to kill them in revenge, promising to give them a painful death while telling to the family of his victim that he was just "finishing the job" by killing their adoptive brother. A seemingly polite man, Kold Briz is a genocidal Sociopathic Soldier that is as cold as his element.
    • Colonel Turtle was a average soldier with Metallic powers turned into a powerful cyborg for Colonel Blood, and a nationalist soldier whose belief is that the best defense is a good offense, which translated into reacting with violence to any issue, such as almost beheading a prisoner when interrogating him. A man in love with war and carnage, Turtle happily reacts to the orders to invade the New World, where he can kill his enemies with no mercy with no regard for the consequences, including endangering the World Tree itself. When ordered to capture Lluvia Aquarrica, Turtle brutally beats her and her friends and tries to kill her best friend with his metallic claw in front of her before declaring that his coworker was a traitor for daring to order him to obey orders. A self proclaimed "Perfect Soldier" that embodies the worst of the militarism of the current regime, Turtle claims to love the army but disobeys orders that don't involve killing, disgusting even his creator, Colonel Blood.
  • Ensemble Dark Horse: When Jesulink drew that one panel of Mierdófilus in chapter 1, ragequitting after Lambda said the shit element is stupid, he'd never thought he'd prove so popular as to get his own subplots.
  • Genius Bonus: Sokar's crows, Hugin and Munin, are named after two crows from norse mythology which served Odin, and were referred as "The thoughts and memmory of Odin". Hugin uses the word "think" a lot, and Munin is said to be the shadow elemental with the biggest memory.
  • Harsher in Hindsight: Five years after the first mention of Dr. Ebola in the comic, the disease spread outside of Africa.
  • Goddamned Boss: Finalmigo is this for Matarratas.
  • Magnificent Bastard: King Alphonse Hangul was born the Prince of Leona and heir to the unique Void Element. Becoming Belenus Llamaviva's pupil, Alphonse earned Belenus' adoptive brother's trust by telling him the truth about his rebel parents. As one of the titular Five Elements, Alphonse became known as Aither Kilin and crossed the ocean with his companions to discover the mystic World Tree Aya. Returning to Leona, Alphonse decides to use the power of Aya to accelerate the society's progression and murders his father, causing the Day Zero during which he kills the weakened Belenus and exiles his other teammates to the New World. Unifying the nations in his continent, Alphonse demonizes the Five Elements and militarizes his own country. Waiting for an Alcaist elemental to be born and naturally open the path to Aya, Alphonse launches an invasion of the New World and fights and kills the Giant King, whom he remains respectful towards even in combat. Fighting his former teammates, Alphonse defeats them in the name of his end goal to use Aya to become immortal and become a "Perfect King", only stopped by nature itself going against him to halt his ambitions. Having learned to evolve from the overconfident man he once was, Alphonse is both a respectful enemy and ruthless conqueror.
  • The Woobie: Poor Llamaviva family can't catch a breath.
