History Manga / Senyuu

* GratuitousGerman: Foyfoy's ultimate technique, ''Grausame Klinge''.

* SingleLineOfDescent: Subverted, both for laughs and as a major plot element; after 1000 years, the ancient hero has a ''lot'' of descendents.

* OnlyInItForTheMoney: Foyfoy tries to kill the TokenMiniMoe Demon King for it.

* YearOutsideHourInside: [[spoiler: Time flows faster in the dimensional rift.]]

''Senyuu.'' begins after the world is thrown into chaos by the arrival of numerous demons, prompting the king to send the descendants of the great hero Creasion, who a thousand years ago sealed away the Demon King Richmedes, to defeat them... All 74 current possible descendants, that is.

* AbandonedArea: Justified concerning the prison they were sent to after Ros [[spoiler:kicks Feburar through ten sets of cell walls in between them]] by Ros commenting that [[spoiler:she must have wiped the place clean after entering the premise]].

* AllYourPowersCombined: The shapeshifter of the chosen 12 can copy his fellow demon's powers by changing into them wholly, or just one appendage.

* BrainwashedAndCrazy: [[spoiler:Janua after Februar uses one of her seemingly created-from-darkness whip-like weapons still buried inside his body to control him]].
* CameBackStrong: Red Fox

* CurbStompBattle: [[spoiler: Ros defeats Dezember and Juli easily when he activates his magic power, leaving Dezember shocked at his power.]]
* DarkIsEdgy: [[spoiler: Dezember]]

* DefeatMeansFriendship: More like Defeat Means They'll Stop Trying to Kill You For Now, Probably, and Just Hang Around Getting Caught Up in the Ever-Escalating Chaos Surrounding the Hero, Alba.

* TheDragon: Juli Sieben to Dezember Zolf. [[spoiler:Literally as well since he can turn himself into a dragon.]]

* DropTheHammer: The Hero [[spoiler:actually chief maid]] Ares.

* EvilDuo: Februar and [[spoiler:Zwei are actually two demons that come as a pair.]]

* ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin: Hime is [[spoiler: the King's daughter.]]
* ExoticEyeDesigns: Dezember has dice for irises. [[spoiler: Neun has a star in his left eye, and the sealed Demon King has [[CreepyCoolCrosses Creepy]] Crosses.]]

* FaceFramedInShadow: The leader of the 12 Chosen Ones, Dezember Zwolf, [[spoiler:who's first seen giving orders to The King]].

* [[spoiler:FunnyAnimal]]: Miichan.

* GetAHoldOfYourselfMan: Samejima [[spoiler: teleports into the dimensional rift solely to punch some sense into Janua and free him from Zwei's control.]]
* GlowingEyesOfDoom: [[spoiler:The left of Janua's mismatched eyes glows creepily when controlled.]]

* HalfTheManHeUsedToBe: Red Fox prior to [[CameBackStrong coming back strong]].

** Ares apparently finds it ''hilarious'' that [[spoiler:Februar]] unleashed her [[spoiler:CombatTentacles right through Hime's visor and likely, face]], causing Hime and her armor to fall over [[spoiler:supposedly dead]]. She gets up again, but still. She stabs Foyfoy and frames Alba in season 2 in a improvised plot to enter the city Turtle.
* HeelFaceTurn: Feburar pulls one. Doesn't help much though.
* HeroesPreferSwords: Alba, though he's disarmed before it gets much use.

* InnocentInaccurate: PlayedForLaughs as Rchi-chan calls [[spoiler:the seemingly-TokenMiniMoe actually-old-granny Februar Zwei]] "over a 100 years old"[[note]]which to demons apparently equals about 10 human years[[/note]] and becomes excited over the proof of [[spoiler:her]] "curse" that leaves [[spoiler:her]] doubling over in pain after moving too quickly.

** Mii-chan's real name is [[spoiler:Michelajul Lortelia]]. Probably says something about [[CloudcuckooLander Janua's]] (or [[spoiler:possibly his]]) naming sense.

* KilledMidSentence: [[spoiler:Hime.]]
* KnifeNut: Red Fox

* LazyBum: Teuful Diabolos, the head butler in the Kings Castle is one. He'll try to do as little as possible to the point the King wonders how he became the head butler.

* LiteralSplitPersonality: [[spoiler: Dezember Zolf.]]

* MagicKnight: [[spoiler:Ros, who's initially shown only as a competent warrior,]] only to later subtly reveal [[spoiler:that he]] is adept at healing (and in episode 13, combat) magic as well, which comes in handy in several crucial situations (situations that don't involve Alba's broken ribs, unfortunately).

* MeaningfulName: [[WhoNamesTheirKidDude Hime]] [[spoiler: because she's a princess.]]
* MiniMecha: [[spoiler: Hime is riding one in the shape of a knight.]]
* MeaningfulRename: [[spoiler: The hero Creasion]] took on a name more befitting his [[spoiler: '''loss''']] of purpose.

* OnlySaneMan / StraightMan: Without Alba's precious vocal cords (oft made to shriek like a harpy at the madness that has a tendency to erupt about him), this show would be in ruins. Also Ros wouldn't be able to [[HeroicComedicSociopath watch Alba get hunted down as a fugitive for harboring the Demon King at his side]].
* OurHeroIsDead: [[spoiler: Alba]] gets [[HalfTheManHeUsedToBe bifurcated]].

* OnlyInItForTheMoney: Foyfoy tries to kill the TokenMiniMoe Demon King for it...

* PaperThinDisguise: The bounty hunter Elf wears a outfit that barely resembles Foyfoy. Then he dresses like a Centaur

* ParentalNeglect: The King doesn't even notice his [[spoiler:daughters]] missing for ''two weeks''.
* PetTheDog: So far, Ros's {{Jerkass}} status has been [[PlayedForLaughs played only for laughs]], and he's done [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold a far better job saving people]] (including Janua [[spoiler:when Freburar Zwei brings him down]]) than Alba has, to said hero's speechlessness. He's shown [[spoiler:slaying Nisepanda in the second chapter of the manga and giving some good advice to Alba afterwards about how he can't depend on others.]]
* ThePiratesWhoDontDoAnything: These heroes sure are spending a lot of time being ridiculous in jail... There's even an episode or two dedicated to the main trio (and Janua) doing nothing at all in said jail.
* PortalDoor: Rchi-chan can create these. But it's not designed for humans, so every time Alba goes through a portal, [[BlackComedy it breaks one of his ribs]].

* RealityWarper: Strong demons like the 12 Chosen Ones are able to warp the area around them just by their mere presence. Rchi-chan won't because she's weak.
** But they're no match for [[spoiler:Ros, a.k.a. "Creasion,"]] who describes his powers as [[GodModeSue "anything I want."]] He demonstrates this by [[spoiler:killing Dezember [[MundaneUtility (after turning his hair into an afro)]], summoning Rchimedes, inflicting pain on Rchimedes, and sealing him away, all in a matter of seconds without expending any effort]].

* SealedEvilInACan: [[spoiler: Rchi-chan's grandfather Rchimedes is this. The King and several of the Twelve Chosen Ones are trying to release him.]]

* RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: [[spoiler: Hime-chan who is, in fact, a princess.]]
* RunningGag: Alba constantly getting sent back to prison for crimes he unintentionally committed or framed for.
* ShapeshifterBaggage: Played straight by one of the 12.
* SlapstickKnowsNoGender: Gender doesn't stop Ares from being accidentally beaten up by the violently tsundere [[spoiler:Hime-chan]] after she spills about [[spoiler:her "secret" crush on Foyfoy]].

* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Ros (Crunchyroll's spelling on the first episode) is often rendered "Ross," "Rchi-chan" is also otherwise transliterated as "Ruki-chan," etc. Crunchy also writes the title of the series as "''Senyu''" (one u, no period) instead of "''Senyuu.''".

* TalkingAnimal: [[spoiler:Miichan after being affected by Janua's power. He also became a masochist.]]

* TimeMaster: [[spoiler:Ros]] magic power Time Control [[spoiler: and uses it undo Alba's death when he actiavates it]].

* {{Tsundere}}: [[spoiler:Hime-chan]], if [[ShanaClone that's what]] [[LampshadeHanging they're calling it these days]]...

* VoidBetweenTheWorlds: [[spoiler: Ross and the others who got transported in the teleportation spell made by Janua end up in the dimensional rift where Demon King Richmedes is sealed.]]

* WeaksauceWeakness: When [[OnlySaneMan Alba]] arrives he's the only one who can point out that what Samejima says doesn't make sense, causing Samejima to have a HeroicBSOD.

* ZeroEffortBoss: The Bounty Hunter Elf ends up defeating himself.

* DevilInPlainSight: Ros probably rivals [[{{Gintama}} Okita Sougo]] in the Prince of the Planet of Sadists department, up to his incredible casualness towards his messing with anyone he feels like. People rarely acknowledge it, although Alba's acutely aware of it.

* NakedPeopleAreFunny: Janua when he first pops up on earth.

''Senyuu'' begins after the world is thrown into chaos by the arrival of numerous demons, prompting the king to send the descendants of the great hero Creasion, who a thousand years ago sealed away the Demon King Richmedes, to defeat them... All 74 current possible descendants, that is.

* SmugSnake: Dezember [[spoile: and he learns the hard way once he sees how strong Ros is.]]

* HeroesPreferSwords: Alba, though he's disarmed before it gets much use.

** But they're no match for [[spoiler:Ros, a.k.a. "Creasion,"]] who describes his powers as [[GodModeSue "anything I want."]] He demonstrates this by [[spoiler:killing Dezember [[RuleOfFunny (after turning his hair into an afro)]], summoning Rchimedes, and sealing him away, all in a matter of seconds without expending any effort]].

* SealedEvilInACan: [[spoiler: Rchi-chan's grandfather Rchimendes is this. The King and several of the Twelve Chosen Ones are trying to release him.]]

** Baffles Michel when this holds true even when Dezember is in broad daylight and then he puts on shadow like it's [[CoolMask a mask]].

Aah? What's with this? Who even cares? [[ExcusePlot It's]] [[WidgetSeries not]] [[BlatantLies important.]]

''Senyuu.'' begins after the world is thrown into chaos by the arrival of numerous demons, prompting the king to send the descendants of the great hero Creasion, who a thousand years ago sealed away the Demon King Richmedes, to defeat them... All 74 current possible descendants, that is.

* ZeroEffortBoss: The Bounty Hunter Elf ends up defeating himself.

* TestosteronePoisoning: Samejima explains that a real man can come to a friend's aid no matter where they are and can punch the brainwashing out of them.

** Ros acts tsundere after stabbing Alba with a [[KnifeNut dagger]] he bought for him.

* {{Foreshadowing}}: "Even if I save the whole world I'll never be forgiven!"

* WildCard: Elf November falls somewhere between ManipulativeBastard and ItAmusedMe, on the one hand he helps Alba reunite with Ares and co. even staying in jail for his sake. This leads to Alba preventing Juli's attempt to off Ros, and all of Dezember's initial plans in the long run for no clear reason. On the other hand he's a big fan of BreakThemByTalking and [[spoiler: seems to be helping Dezember in Chapter 3]]

* TheChewToy: Alba. Both for everyone around him, as well as the universe in general as he tends to get [[WeirdnessMagnet sucked into things]] that makes his life suck just when it starts to hit an upswing

* TheDragon: Juli Sieben to Dezember Zolf.

** Baffles Michel when this holds true even when Dezember is in broad daylight.

* StoppedCaring: Alba at the beginning of season 2.

** Ros acts tsundere after stabbing Alba with a [[KnifeNut dagger]] he bought for him.

* VoluntaryShapeshifting: Juli can change at least his left arm into a large scaled arm.

* InsaneTrollLogic: All over the place. An especially wacko example is when Janua disguises himself as Alba ''and himself''--Alba on the right half of his face, Janua on the left--because he thought this would trick the guard into thinking neither of them had escaped prison. [[OnlySaneMan The guard doesn't fall for it.]]

** [[http://imageshack.us/a/img16/7610/senyuufull1404521.jpg Nisepanda]], who is not a panda.

* FashionVictimVillain: Rchi-chan considers [[spoiler: her granfathers]] choices of clothes as this.
