History Manga / Patalliro

* TheSyndicate: The International Diamond Syndicate.

** He's still not someone you want to mess with though. Despite his growing effeminacy and occasional carelessness he still knows how to escape and then mop the floor with any thugs who cross him as he does in Episode 38.

* EverybodyDoTheEndlessLoop: Every time that Patalliro goes to "Who Killed Cock Robin" mode (usually followed by his "Onions").
* CuteKitten: The OP has dancing cats, flying cats... for no apparent reason.

* WithFriendsLikeThese: Despite the fact that Bancoran is often appointed as Patalliro's personal bodyguard and Patalliro has developed a very perverted crush on him, they are so hateful, spiteful, and violent towards one another that it actually comes as a surprise when Bancoran calls himself a friend of Patalliro's during a rant or when Maraich points out how close they are despite the constant fighting.

* EyeCatch: Noteworthy because as the series progresses it goes from Patalliro goofing off with a Super Deformed Bancoran to the two of them trying to kill each other with explosions.

* EvilIsSexy: Especially [[spoiler: Marion]].

* MemeticSexGod: MI6 agent Jack Bancoran can literally shoot sexy beams out of his eyes--[[http://i55.tinypic.com/2j0fm0n.jpg and he knows that]]. No wonder he is called "The Bishonen Killer". Some of his "seduction techniques" are... [[LargeHam quite amusing]].
** But everyone is Bancoran for Maraich.
*** Everyone is Patalliro for Bancoran AND Maraich.
*** Everyone is [[ScrewYourself Patalliro for Patalliro]] because [[MagnificentBastard Patalliro says so.]]

* UglyCute: The title character.

* WhatDoYouMeanItWasntMadeOnDrugs: Nothing in the entire series makes ''any'' sense. At all. [[RuleOfFunny That's kind of the point]].

* BritainIsOnlyLondon: Most of the time. Occasionally averted, Bancoran is revealed to be from [[OopNorth Manchester]] and one chapter sees the cast visit [[BonnieScotland Edinburgh]].

* XJapan rhythm guitarist TomoakiIshizuka's stage name "Pata" comes from the main character's name.

* WhatDoYouMeanItsNotHeinous: Averted. His Highness can lie, steal things, trick people to do what he wants, harass, bribe people but he never has to face the consequences of his acts.

** [[CareerKillers Although the extent to which he can be called 'wholesome' is debatable.]]

* MayDecemberRomance: Maraich and Bancoran are a borderline case, at 18 and [[strike: 35]] 27 respectively.

* MemeticSexGod: M16 agent Jack Bancoran can literally shoot sexy beams out of his eyes--[[http://i55.tinypic.com/2j0fm0n.jpg and he knows that]]. No wonder he is called "The Bishonen Killer". Some of his "seduction techniques" are... [[LargeHam quite amusing]].

* DoubleEntendre: several!

* CultureChopSuey: It's hard to say "where exactly" Malynera is located, but we can tell that it mixes eastern and western cultural elements and a lot of SchizoTech.

He lives in a world very similar to our own, but where the bizarre is commonplace. He manages to get into all kinds of trouble, from international terrorists to space aliens to accidental time travel. His first challenge as king is to stay alive, when a group called the International Diamond Syndicate decides that it wants control of the Malynera diamond mines. This is how he meets Bancoran, who was assigned to be his bodyguard during a trip to Britain. It's also how they meet Maraich, who was one of the assassins sent by the IDS.

* AnythingThatMoves: Patalliro, who have the bad habit of "grope" people no matter the gender and play sexual innuendos, taking advantage of the fact that [[ChildrenAreInnocent he is only 10]].

* AuthorAvatar: In both the anime and mangas, a chibified Mineyo Maya pops up occasionally. His amusing little avatar even got a few mangas of it's own, which were actually quite funny.

* {{Bishonen}}: Bancoran qualifies, he even wears [[RealMenWearPink blue eyeshadow]]. Several of "Patalliro's Enemies" also qualifies. Maraich is also considered a bishonen in the story but you could also consider him a "[[AttractiveBentGender trap]]".

* CastFullOfGay: expected in a [[BoysLove BL]] story. Most prominently Bancoran and [[spoiler:the long list of his lovers]].

* CompletelyMissingThePoint: in episode 06 Bancoran is challenged by the villain for a SwordFight. Patalliro's comment: [[spoiler:"This is a man's romance!"]]
* CreativeClosingCredits: the credits alone tells a small story with a lovely song that fits the main plot. [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n1MhKmCyBSg It's worth a watch]].
* CultureChopSuey: It's hard to say "where exactly" Malynera is located but we can tell that mixes eastern and western cultural elements and a lot of SchizoTech.
* DerangedAnimation: The anime tried to follow the same "feeling" that the manga art have. The result was quite... [[WhatDoYouMeanItWasntMadeOnDrugs unusual]].

* CuteKitten: the OP has dancing cats, flying cats... for no apparent reason.

* MemeticSexGod: M16 agent Jack Bancoran can literally shoot sexy beams out of his eye balls - [[http://i55.tinypic.com/2j0fm0n.jpg and he knows that]]. No wonder he is called "The Bishonen Killer". Some of his "seduction techniques" are... [[LargeHam quite amusing]].

* NoExportForYou: It was released in DVD, only in Japan.
* ParodyEpisode: Patalliro Saiyuki is an entire ''series'' based around the concept of a parody episode, recasting the characters in a theme of ''{{Saiyuki}}'' or ''JourneyToTheWest'', usually to hilarious results.

* RapeIsLove: [[spoiler: this is how Bancoran conquers Maraich, and, as he says, "[[http://i53.tinypic.com/2i8wrjr.jpg successfully persuaded him]]" to leave The International Diamond Syndicate]].
* RidiculouslyCuteCritter: 'Litterally': small red fur balls that [[BigLippedAlligatorMoment appear everywhere]].

* WhatDoYouMeanItsNotHeinous: Averted, His Highness can lie, steal things, trick people to do what he wants, harass, bribe people but he never have to face the consequences of his acts.

* {{Wimpification}}: An in-series example - Maraich becomes [[UnfortunateImplications increaingly]] [[{{Chickification}} stereotypically effeminate]] and [[{{BadassDecay}} increasingly less useful as the series goes on.]]

* DrugsAreBad: Bancoran [[BerserkButton ''will not tolerate'' drugs or drug dealers]]. ([[MoralDissonance Chain smoking and drink driving at around 9am, however, are perfectly fine]]).

** [[FlatWhat Wut..]]

* {{Bishonen}}: Bancoran qualifies, he even wears [[RealMenWearPink blue eyeshadow]]. Several of "Patalliro's Enemies" also qualifies. Maraich is also considered a bishonen in the story but you could also consider him a "[[AttractiveBentGender trap]]". YourMileageMayVary.
