History Manga / KatteniKaizo

* LargeHam: Kaizo all the way. Many of his fellow Cram School students are also this.

* RedBaron: For some reason Yamada-san is always referred to as "The Beautiful [[ClassRepresentative Class President]] Yamada-san" whenever she makes an appearance.

* AuthorAvatar: His first appearance. Apparently likes to [[NippledAndDimed draw nipples on women from old manga]] and [[DrivenToSuicide attempt suicide when]] [[MythologyGag things don't go his way]].

* ProgressivelyPrettier: Inverted. Chitan becomes shorter and uglier over the course of the series.

* BrickJoke: Starts one when a woman get sealed behind a wall, it didn't pay off for '''seven years''' and when it did it was in a completely different [[SayonaraZetsubouSensei work]]

* OnTheNext: Gleefully subverted. Kaizo just stands there doing a voice over that literally consists of "Something, something, something, something and something else."
* PeekABangs: Kaizo mostly.

* PunnyName: Kaizo's first name can be interpreted as 'cyborg'. His last name can mean 'rebirth' or 'victory'.

* RedBaron: For some reason Yamada-san is always referred to as "The Beautiful ClassPresident Yamada-san" whenever she makes an appearance.

One day, 17-year-old [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} Kaizo Katsu]] woke up in a lab, surrounded by vials of chemicals and utensils, and with defibrillator electrodes on his nipples. Coming to the conclusion that he was turned into a cyborg by "genius" Suzu Saien, he takes over the Science Club, of which Suzu is President, turning it into the Science Investigation Club, a group with absolutely no objectives, goals or point besides being an outlet for Katsu's wackiness -- often at the expense of another member, Chitan Tsubouchi, who Kaizo names his peon.

One day, 17-year-old [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} Kaizo Katsu]] woke up in a lab, surrounded by vials of chemicals and utensils, and with defibrillator electrodes on his nipples. Coming to the conclusion that he was turned into a cyborg by Suzu Saien, he takes over the Science Club, where Suzu acts as President, turning it into the Science Investigation Club, a group with absolutely no objectives, goals or point besides being an outlet for Katsu's wackiness -- often at the expense of another member, Chitan Tsubouchi.

But he's not always been such a {{Cloudcuckoolander}}. He used to be a perfectly sane ChildProdigy, at least until ten years ago, when his childhood friend [[OnlySaneMan Umi Natori]] kicked him off a climbing frame and he hit his head ''hard'' -- so hard once he wakes up he went loopy, developed a fascination for [=UFOs=], ghosts and the like, and unintentionally blew up his alma mater Genius Cram School with a concoction of dangerous chemicals, releasing the collective insanity and quirkiness of all the very specialized geniuses of the school onto the world.

!!Tropes appearing in Katteni Kaizo Include:

* DissonantSerenity: Nothing has the power to faze Suzu.

* RelationshipUpgrade: [[spoiler:Kaizo and Umi]]

* TheCuckoolanderWasRight: [[OnceAnEpisode Every time.]]

* XMeetsY: Some sort of a GenderFlipped version of SuzumiyaHaruhi on drugs; alternatively, Haruhi is a GenderFlipped version of this on antidepressants.

* KansaiBen: Jun gets teased for having a Kansai accent.

* ArtEvolution: KojiKumeta's style changed in the interim between this and SayonaraZetsubouSensei.
