History VideoGame / OsuTatakaeOuendan

* EverythingsBetterWithSpinning: Inverted. Spinning makes everything ''worse'' in this series, at least from the [[ScrappyMechanic player's perspective.]]

* DudeInDistress: The national idol [=JIN2=] in the sequel is kidnapped by gangsters in "Music Hour". It's up to the Asahi Town Ouendan to rally three women who compete for his heart to rescue him.

* CompletionMockery: Achieve the last profile rank in the sequel with a high score total of 100 million points and [[https://youtu.be/ikUDmNSMvNM?t=472 you'll receive the title]] "[[spoiler:original rhythm idiot]]". No, seriously, this is not a joke, this is how the game rewards you after all the trouble you've gone to achieve this amazing milestone!...

* BigOMG: Dan and Joe yell "Oh! My God!" when you fail the first two sections of "Shanghai Honey".

* {{Cap}}: The sequel, like the first game and ''Elite Beat Agents'', does not anticipate players to achieve scores of at least 10 million, but since the new "hidden mode" boosts scores by 50 percent, it can be possible to score more than that in the very final mission on expert mode...if you can ace it all the way through with a full combo, resulting in the score counter maxing out at 9,999,999.

** "Koi no Dance Site" is a WholePlotReference to Cinderella, and "Monkey Magic" is a pastiche of WesternAnimation/ToyStory. The "Koi no Dance Site" section is even called "Cinderella Proclamation! Will Junior Turn His Face Toward Her!?" ("Cinderella sengen! Junior wa furimuku ka!?") in the game.

** Played straight out-of-universe with the song used in the final level of the first game, "Ready Steady Go". It was the second opening to the original ''Anime/FullmetalAlchemist'' anime!

* DamnYouMuscleMemory:
** Players going to ''Ouendan 2'' after having played ''Elite Beat Agents'' expect Insane difficulty's beatmaps to be exactly like Hard's, only rotated, shrunk and faster. Ouendan 2 subverts these expectations by slightly changing Insane's beat maps, in addition to the above changes... sometimes.
** This was also present in ''Ouendan 1'', albeit to a lesser degree; four songs have differences between Hard and Insane's beatmaps (Kokoro Odoru, Atsuki Kodou No Hate, Thrill (although in this case, the stacked markers are just spread out here) and Shanghai Honey). And for the record, in ''Ouendan 2'', there are only five songs which ''don't'' have and changes between Hard and Insane (Glamorous Sky, Believe, Zoku, Samurai Blue, and Countdown).

* MartialArtsHeadband: Some of the leaders wear this, but Hajime switched his for a NiceHat in between the first and second games.

* NiceHat:
** Kai in both games, Hajime in the second.
** And like VideoGame/{{Raidou|KuzunohaVsTheSoullessArmy}}, neither take theirs off during the HotSpringsEpisode.
** However, Hajime briefly takes his off in "Julia ni Heartbreak", while Kai [[DeathGlare stares at you menacingly]] in the same song. It seems anyone attempting to take off his hat is a BerserkButton.

** The HotSpringsEpisode opens with a ShirtlessScene. Ryuta is ''ripped'' and Kai is a full-on hunk.

* InvoluntaryShapeshifting: Poor Goro Okami has been cursed to transform into a wolf whenever he sees something round, white, shiny, or some combination of the three, which gets in the way constantly on a date with his girlfriend.

** The HotSpringsEpisode opens with a ShirtlessScene. Ippongi is ''ripped.''

* TheDitz: If you notice, the {{Meganekko}} cheerleader girl Aoi Kanda just can't do anything right outside cheerleading, though [[AllThereInTheManual she's supposed to be able to speak around seven languages fluently.]]

* {{Meganekko}}: Aoi for a {{Moe}} example.

* AttackReflector: Completing "Music Hour" in the sequel results in the three housewives rescuing the popstar JIN2 successfully by grabbing missles launched by an enemy helicopter and throwing them back at it.

* DevelopersForesight: Normally, when you have a fresh save file in the sequel, you'll only see Hajime Tanaka and Ippongi Ryuuta on the difficulty selection screen, as you can only choose easy or medium difficulty. Since you have to complete the game on the hardest available level to unlock the next difficulty level, you can no longer see just the Yuuhi Town Ouendan on the difficulty selection screen once you unlock hard mode because the difficulty screen will automatically change to show the Asahi Town Ouendan leaders once you clear the first mission, which is when you'll see them for the first time in the cutscene that kicks off Act 2. However, if a player hacked the game to unlock all difficulties from the start, the developers would then [[https://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l131/mmotoda/neogaf/20120904ouendan2_cheergirls.jpg allow for the player to see all the Yuuhi Town Ouendan leaders by themselves on the difficulty screen]] instead of letting the game crash.

* MagicSkirt: Compared to the first game, the sequel features next to no chances for any accidental {{Panty Shot}}s.

* MoralDissonance: Cleopatra stage: You cheer on Cleopatra so she can order her slaves around greatly!? Well, at least they get as fired up as she does... But what happens if you play the stage poorly? A hilarious bit of physical comedy, as with every other stage? No, the slaves die. Cue the uncomfortable laugh.

* PantyShot: The female cheerleaders; especially noticeable in the first game.

* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Aoi's is pink for no apparent reason. The sequel also brings us Rin and Reika, along with one of JIN 2's {{Fangirl}}s.

From Creator/{{Inis}}, the creators of ''VideoGame/GitarooMan'', comes this rather clever RhythmGame for the Nintendo DS. ''Osu! Tatakae! Ouendan'' ("Yo! Fight! Cheer Squad") revolves around a group of male cheerleaders who go around rooting on people all across Tokyo in a variety of tasks to a variety of Japanese pop and rock music. Their clients include Tsuyoshi Hanada, a ''ronin'' student trying to get into Tokyo University; Yasushi Tanaka, owner of a ramen shop trying to drum up more business; and Ichiro Tamura, a {{Salaryman}} who... grows to fifty feet tall in order to save his daughter (and the city) from [[AttackOfThe50FootWhatever a giant blue mouse on the rampage]].
