History Manga / HellTeacherNube

* AnAesop: The vast majority of events involving Nube's kids results in them learning a valuable moral.

* ArtificialHuman: Twice, by the protagonists. Three times if you count the Visible Human anatomy doll that came to life.

* AttackOfThe50FootWhatever: The {{Orochi}}, for starters. Also, Miki somehow got in the good graces of a very literal GentleGiant who could rearrange the entire geography of Doumori by pushing buildings and mountains to her liking.

* BalloonBelly

* BelligerentSexualTension: [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold Hiroshi]] and [[{{Tsundere}} Kyoko]], definitely. Also see RescueRomance above.
* BigBrotherInstinct: Katsuya is ''very'' protective of his little sister Manami. Bakki would rather fight alongside Nube rather than risk hurting his sister Minki's feelings. And Minki herself ''wants'' Nube to act like this towards her, because, as far as she's concerned, the oni hand makes him just like Bakki --problem is, she's so unbelievably powerful that she has to intimidate thugs into "intimidating" her to force Nube to help her, and he never buys it.

* BrotherSisterTeam: Bakki and Minki are a semi-villainous example.

* CensorBox: During Minki's intro story, in which she shows up lacking panties, the Shonen Jump [[ShoutOut Pirate logo]] is used to cover up her crotch (to its great embarrassment.) Worse, the poor Pirate was also made to cover up Baki's GagPenis when the oni took on human form (and [[InnocentFanserviceGirl forgot]] to [[NakedPeopleAreFunny materialize some pants]].)
* CheerfulChild: Makoto Kurita

* DisabilitySuperpower: Ayumi Kinoshita, a perpetually bedridden IllGirl who was taught by Nube to project her astral body to attend school like any other kid.

* FanDisservice: Ai is pretty, she has a cute body, we see her only in her panties... [[spoiler: with ''demon eyes extended all over her''.]]

** A number of the female characters have overly large bosoms, but Miki's in particular fuel Kyoko's ACupAngst.

* GenderBender: The offspring of a loving [[HotSkittyOnWailordAction succubus/normal man]] couple results in a genderless child, whom Hiroshi and Kyoko take turns convincing to settle for a gender... switching back and forth between a rough-and-tumble {{Bishonen}} and a YamatoNadeshiko woman.

* GoodThingYouCanHeal: Hayame the mermaid can regenerate from virtually anything, including being reduced to a desiccated corpse for hundreds of years or slicing out her own liver. A Buddhist nun who once ate her flesh is subject to some of the most gruesome punishment in the series (but so [[CrossesTheLineTwice over-the-top]] it loops back to [[BlackComedy hilarious]]) merely because she can heal just about anything.

* HugeSchoolgirl: Subverted with Miki, who ''loves'' her large chest and also adores to tease the flat-chested Kyouko about that. Noriko plays it more straight since she's very modest and shy about hers, until she's possessed by a mischievous spirit...

* {{Orochi}}: Explicitly stated to be the most powerful of all {{Obake}}, summoned by a MadScientist via use of MagiTek.

* SealedEvilInACan: The Oni sealed into Nube's left hand that he gradually gains more control over as the series progresses. A whole episode deals with this since Tamamo, Kyouko and Hiroshi have to TimeTravel to save Nube's life when the Oni almost takes over him.
* SealedGoodInACan: Minako-sensei, after a fashion --if circumstances allow her to manifest, she proves herself an overwhelmingly powerful spiritualist. Izuna and Nube's Tube Foxes, which willingly live inside tiny cylinders (such as pens) also count.

* SupernaturallyDeliciousAndNutritious: Nube in his youth; I think at least one of his clients and/or students ended up with a similar problem.

** Kyoko, a Type B (sweet and caring default with a hair-trigger temper). Ritsuko also is one, showing more or less a pleasant disposition until Nube brings up ghosts to the conversation.

* TwoTeacherSchool: Averted, since Nube and Ritsuko (and Minako-sensei, when alive) are NOT the only teachers we see. The Director is more or less often around (and in fact he hired Nube fully knowing about his powers), the PE teacher has helped the cast once or twice, and Tamamo often poses as the school nurse. Ootsuki-sensei also fancies himself a [[Franchise/{{Ghostbusters}} ''scientific'' exorcist]], out to prove paranormal events as some manifestation of "plasma." And then there's Mami-sensei, the [[TokenMiniMoe ten year-old looking]] teacher/[[CuteWitch part-time witch]] out to win the heart (or at least some other part) of Nube.

* WeirdnessMagnet: Nube (but he gets clients because [[JustifiedTrope he is a well-known spiritualist]]) and Class 5-3.

* YoungerThanTheyLook: Ai Shinozaki is 12 years old and already has GagBoobs. Ditto Miki, though at least her height's normal. Even Katsuya, who ''is'' supposed to be a delinquent and likely has repeated more than one grade, looks like he's in his late teens.

* {{Onmyodo}}: Mixed liberally with Shinto and Buddhist rites. Yang Kairen uses Ofuda as his main exorcism tool, and one of Nube's most versatile artifacts is the Sutra of the White Goddess, which unfolds (accordion-like) to bind apparitions.

* PaperMaster: [[KnightTemplar Yang Kairen]] uses [[{{Onmyodo}} ofuda]] for a variety of effects, from summoning fire, heat beams or even meteors, to merely slapping a paper ward on a foe and then ripping the paper in half (causing the same effect on said foe.) Nube's Sutra can unfold into a whip-like shape that can ward off spiritual attacks.

In May 2014, the official sequel ''Hell Teacher Nube Neo'' (地獄先生ぬ〜べ〜NEO) started publication in Shueisha's ''Grand Jump'' anthology book. Set ten years after [[spoiler:Nube's departure from Doumori]], it follows Nube and a grown-up Kyoko Inaba (who has become a teacher in Nube's footsteps) as they protect their brand new cast of students from the demonic horrors that haunt the city.

* RedOniBlueOni: Red Nube, Blue Tamamo.

* RyotaroOkiayu: Nube

* TheObiWan: Nube's old teacher, Minako-sensei.

* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: In his regular life, Nube is silly, bumbling, and a pervert. He usually introduces himself to his new class by performing some ridiculous stunt (such as playing Tarzan) that backfires and humiliates him. But he will drop this attitude [[LetsGetDangerous in an instant]] and turn [[{{Badass}} deadly-serious]] when the situation calls for it. Even when drunk.

* SplitPersonalityTakeover: Happens to Ritsuko when the spirit of Minako-sensei accidentally ends up in ''her'' body, fusing both personalities into "[[ActionGirl Miss]] [[{{Badass}} Rinako]]."

* TwoTeacherSchool: Averted, since Nube and Ritsuko (and Minako-sensei, when alive) are NOT the only teachers we see. The Director is more or less often around (and in fact he hired Nube fully knowing about his powers), the PE teacher has helped the cast once or twice, and Tamamo often poses as the school nurse. Ootsuki-sensei also fancies himself a [[Film/{{Ghostbusters}} ''scientific'' exorcist]], out to prove paranormal events as some manifestation of "plasma." And then there's Mami-sensei, the [[TokenMiniMoe ten year-old looking]] teacher/[[CuteWitch part-time witch]] out to win the heart (or at least some other part) of Nube.

* HeroicHost

* MsFanservice: Izuna, [[NakedPeopleAreFunny to her distress]]. Her Tube Foxes often pop up merely to cover up her bits with signs reading "Fanservice!"

** And if she could get away with it, Miki would dive in headfirst. Then her sugar-daddy turned out to be a ''god''...

* WhoWantsToLiveForever: Nube rejects [[MermaidSaga a mermaid's offer to eat her own flesh]] due to this trope.

* LiteralGenie: Inverted with Agyou-san, a demon that [[RealityWarper can modify reality itself]] by making it the ''exact opposite'' of whatever you've just said. Can work as a very handy ResetButton if you're GenreSavvy enough, as long as you're not [[TooDumbToLive stupid enough to yell]] "We can beat him!" just as [[TheCavalry your allies have arrived]] to save your butt.

* ScareDare: School after dark, haunted house, derelict playground, ancient graveyard, you name it. The [[SchmuckBait scary urban "legend"]] ''always'' turns out to be true, if not worse than the legend. [[GenreSavvy Dammit]], [[FearlessFool Miki]]!

* TwoTeacherSchool: Averted, since Nube and Ritsuko (and Minako-sensei, when alive) are NOT the only teachers we see. The Director is more or less often around (and in fact he hired Nube [[GenreSavvy fully knowing about his powers]]), the PE teacher has helped the cast once or twice, and Tamamo often poses as the school nurse. Ootsuki-sensei also fancies himself a [[Film/{{Ghostbusters}} ''scientific'' exorcist]], out to prove paranormal events as some manifestation of "plasma." And then there's Mami-sensei, the [[TokenMiniMoe ten year-old looking]] teacher/[[CuteWitch part-time witch]] out to win the heart (or at least some other part) of Nube.

and was followed by the sequel ''Izuna the Spiritual Medium: Ascension'' (霊媒師いずなASCENSION) in 2011.

This series provides examples of:

Fortunately, Nube is able to deal with these spirits by way of his magical left hand; unfortunately, this results in him attracting even more supernatural events to center on him... and to his workplace, which happens to be an elementary school. Luckily for him, his students are often more than happy to give him a hand when resolving his cases.

Hell Teacher Nūbē (地獄先生ぬ〜べ〜 Jigoku Sensei Nūbē?) is a horror-comedy manga created by the collaborative efforts of writer Shō Makura (真倉翔?) and artist Takeshi Okano in Shueisha's manga anthology book ''Weekly Shōnen Jump''. The series ran for 276 chapters (not including the two pilot chapters where Nūbē was known as Nubo (ぬ〜ぼ〜 Nūbō)) from Issue 38, 1993 through Issue 24, 1999. A 49-episode anime series based on the manga was created by Toei Animation, and aired from 1996–1997 on TV Asahi. The anime resulted in three movies and three OVA episodes. A spinoff story for Izuna Hazuki the itako-girl, ''Izuna the Spiritual Medium'' (霊媒師いずな), ran in Oh, Super Jump from July 2007, and was followed by the sequel ''Izuna the Spiritual Medium: Ascension'' (霊媒師いずなASCENSION) in 2011.

* DemotedToExtra: It looked like Akira would be one of the main charas from Nuube's class, but never got lots of development. Subverted a bit later in the manga, when he shows off his [[TeenGenius scientific skills]].

* TwoTeacherSchool: Averted, since Nube and Ritsuko (and Minako-sensei, when alive) are NOT the only teachers we see. The Director is more or less often around (and in fact he hired Nuubee [[GenreSavvy fully knowing about his powers]]), the PE teacher has helped the cast once or twice, and Tamamo often poses as the school nurse. Ootsuki-sensei also fancies himself a [[Film/{{Ghostbusters}} ''scientific'' exorcist]], out to prove paranormal events as some manifestation of "plasma." And then there's Mami-sensei, the [[TokenMiniMoe ten year-old looking]] teacher/[[CuteWitch part-time witch]] out to win the heart (or at least some other part) of Nube.

* MisBlamed: A rather common happening throughout the series, where mundane accidents were blamed on spirits. A particularly hilarious one happened when Nube bought a haunted Porsche dirt-cheap, and it went all over the road. His students managed to soothe the spirit, thus exorcising the car. [[spoiler: Turns out, the reckless driving was completely due to Nube's poor driving skills, and in fact he made a deal with the ghost to protect the car from harm for him to grant peace to it. With its protector gone, the car was thrashed in very short order.]]

* TheMessiah: Nube does his best to help and save youkai, gods and humans.

* FujikoTakimoto: Nube as a child.
