History Anime / HeatGuyJ

* BadassNormal: Daisuke can survive a fight with an android, and [[spoiler: defeat Boma in a swordfight]]. Clair Leonelli, though merely for the fact that he fears nothing - he lacks Daisuke's extraordinary physical prowess. Giobanni Gallo is this for [[spoiler:walking into the Vita headquarters and shooting Noriega in front of a room full of Leonelli Family mobsters. With one arm in a cast]].

* HookerWithAHeartOfGold: [[GossipyHens Cynthia, Janis, and Vivian]]

* FoeYay: Most of the fanfiction in this teeny tiny fandom is [=DaisukexClair=], even though they normally do not get along. [[spoiler: Except towards the end, where they help each other, but not actually for yaoi reasons.]]

* ChekhovsGun: Daisuke's silver-bullet pendant. [[spoiler: It turns out to be not only a memento of his late father, but a flash drive containing all sorts of dirt on Shun.]]

* BadassAutomaton: J

* BadassNormal: Daisuke can survive a fight with an android, and [[spoiler: defeat Boma in a swordfight]]. Clair Leonelli is arguably this, though merely for the fact that he fears nothing - he lacks Daisuke's extraordinary physical prowess. Giobanni Gallo is this for [[spoiler:walking into the Vita headquarters and shooting Noriega in front of a room full of Leonelli Family mobsters. With one arm in a cast]].

* ContemplateOurNavels: Daisuke when he's lying around on the sofa pondering about what's ''really'' going on; Shogun (pretty much every single thing he says is this); arguably Clair [[spoiler: especially as Giovanni gets ready to assassinate Shun]] and don't even get started on Boma.

* HeelFaceTurn: [[spoiler:Clair Leonelli, Giobanni Gallo and arguably Boma.]]

* OldMaster: Shogun is [[spoiler:an ex mob boss]] and [[spoiler:managed to vanish into thin air when Shun tried to shoot him]]. Arguably Mauro is this, being an expert marksman.

* TheSyndicate: Shop Echigo. Arguably the Leonelli Family is this, too.

* ColorCodedForYourConvenience: Similar to the "good hat bad hat" dichotomy of Westerns, Daisuke (the good guy) wears white pants and has blond hair, while Clair (the bad guy) wears black pants and has black hair. [[spoiler: This only goes so far in the series, however.]]

* Wiredilemma: subverted in episode 3; Bomb. [[spoiler: daisuke finds a bomb, opens the panel, and finds two wires. He cuts the red wire first, which cuts the timer down from 13 minutes, to one. He then cuts the other wire, which turns it to 13 seconds. J shows up and saves the day.]]

The 26-episode series was produced by Satelight. It was licensed in the United States by Creator/{{Geneon}}, in the United Kingdom by MangaEntertainment, and in Australia and New Zealand by MadmanEntertainment. Infamous for how much Creator/{{Geneon}} paid for it (as much as {{Funimation}} paid for ''Anime/FullmetalAlchemist'') and how little it sold.

* CoolBike: Daisuke's motorbike not only ''looks'' awesome, but can transform into a jetski.

* NightmareFuelStationAttendant: Teto. This UncannyValley [[CuteShotaroBoy robot kid]] is programmed to ask "Is this alright?" when following orders, but it sounds creepy. (Just ask Clair!) Teto's singing also causes flashbacks, and he [[spoiler: takes a security guard's ''face'' in a quest to destroy J!]]

* ShutUpHannibal: When Clair starts on a HumansAreBastards rant while holding a Celestial hostage, Daisuke {{lampshades}} Clair's real reason for his cynical views about the people of Judoh and the Celestials -- [[WellDoneSonGuy living in his late father's shadow within the Leonelli crime family, while being a spoiled brat]]. This earns Daisuke 3 gunshots. [[spoiler: Luckily he had on a bullet-proof vest!]]

* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:Michal and Ian both give their lives so that Clair can escape from his own mob (which has been taken over by Noriega), leaving Clair with their personal trinkets.

* {{Bishonen}}: Shun Aurora, Michal and [[spoiler:Serge Echigo]]. Arguably Clair.

Supporting cast include Clair Leonelli, AxCrazy villain and boss ['Vampire'] of the Leonelli crime family; Ken Edmundo, perpetually irritated crime scene investigator; Kyoko Milchan; accountant for the Special Services Division who briefs Daisuke on his cases, and Boma, mysterious swordsman searching for someone called 'Usagi'.

* HoYay: Mitchal & Ian. I don't know if they're supposed to be a couple or just friends, but [[spoiler: the fact that Mitchal blew himself up shortly after Ian's death]], and the fact that they're almost always together is certainly yaoi fodder.

* FridgeBrilliance: Shun effortlessly beats up Daisuke earlier in the series, but [[spoiler:in the finale Daisuke has the upper hand. Is it heroic resolve? No, it's that Shun still hasn't completely recovered from the sniper bullet that went through his chest not too long ago]]

* {{Expy}}: It's easy to see J as one for K the protagonist of RobotDetective

** So... [[spoiler: they punish prisoners by making them furries?]]
*** Not quite. [[spoiler: There is no capital punishment in Magnagalia. Instead, they try to make those criminals with life sentences truly regret what they did by changing their head to that of an animal, and torturing them.]]

** Also, Daisuke's android J is [[{{Steampunk}} steam-powered.]]
