History Manga / ZombiePowder

Sadly, the manga was canceled after its fourth volume, leaving many mysteries unsolved. Since Kubo has gone on record saying that he wrote Zombiepoweder. during a bad chapter of his life, it's likely to never be revisited.

* IAmNotLeftHanded: played straight with Gamma, who for a while was going easy on his enemy.
* ITakeOffenseToThatLastOne: Elwood when Gamma refers to him as a shrimp and his disciple.
-->'''Gamma:''' The one with the glasses is my partner, the shrimp is my disciple.\\
'''Elwood:''' What, who ya calling a disciple!?

* LadyNotAppearingInThisGame: A non-sexualized example. One of the chapters starts with a two-spread with [[FloatingHeadSyndrome floating heads]] of all the major characters, including some that never appeared anywhere else before the series' cancellation.

* SirNotAppearingInThisFilm: A couple characters appear in a group shot for one of the chapter titles, neither of which get to appear in the manga before it's cancellation.

* OlderThanTheyLook: Ranewater Calder from Zombie Powder, leader of the Ash Daughter Gang. Although he looks like a young boy, is actually an old man who manages to retain his youthful looks with Phoenix-Samin. His nickname is actually "Old Man Calder".

Earlier work of Creator/TiteKubo (author of ''Manga/{{Bleach}}'') set in a somewhat familiar but distinctive, WildWest-tinted world. Guns, gangs, swords, weird arts on border of magic - everything is used by various hunters to collect twelve Rings of Dead. Zombie Powder, a powerful substance produced by the rings, has a power to bring the dead back to life and make the living being immortal. No wonder that so many want to get it and among them the hero of the story Akutabi Gamma, his mysterious partner C.T. Smith, paparazzi of justice Wolfgangina and sidekick John Elwood Shepherd, each for their own purpose.

!!''ZombiePowder'' includes examples of the following tropes:

* SpiritualSuccessor: ''Bleach'' has been called a successor to ''Zombie Powder''.

* EnsembleDarkhorse: Critics at the time of its release thought it was rather bland, but felt that CT Smith was an outstanding character.

->'''Gamma:''' The one with the glasses is my partner, the shrimp is my disciple.
->'''Elwood:''' What, who ya calling a disciple!?

* AntiHero: Both Gamma and Smith.

* HeroicSociopath: Gamma and Smith probably have a higher body count than most of the villains.

* DeadLittleSister: Dead [[spoiler:big sister,]] [[spoiler:girlfriend,]] and [[spoiler:comatose little brother]] actually...

* OrphanedSeries: *sigh*
** Sadly.
*** Meanwhile {{Bleach}} has reached over 50 volumes... over 10 times what ZombiePowder got... [[TearJerker *sniff*]]
