History Webcomic / KaitenMutenmaru

Mutenmaru is a little samurai who lives with his grandmother alongside his childhood friends, Kurara and Kurakichi, in Bikkura Village. They lead a peaceful life until Tsubukante and his four minions show up to conquer the world with additives, leading Mutenmaru to follow in his murdered father's footsteps and protect the taste of sincerity from the villains. In the second season, an extraterrestrial material called disium poses a threat to the world by turning people into monsters. Spreading it to cause chaos is Sick Valachlorophenol, a self-styled gentleman corrupted by the abominable crystal himself. To combat the new forces of evil, Mutenmaru is joined by new companions consisting of:

* TheCorruption: Disium is a mysterious material that grants the infected superhuman powers at the expense of corrupting them into monsters. The transformation in mind and body can be gradual, as implied by Orcus, Crocell, [[spoiler:Pain and Yamai]].

* JourneyToTheCenterOfTheMind: [[spoiler:Tear Crown]] enters [[spoiler:Sissela's]] mind [[spoiler:to bring Umimi back from the corrupting influence of disium.]]
* PurpleIsPowerful: Disium is colored purple to emphasize its ability to grants the infected superhuman powers at the expense of turning them into monsters.

* YoungLoveVersusOldHate: The young love between [[spoiler:Sick Solitude]] and [[spoiler:Anne Bran]] was doomed in the rebellion by the hateful commoners against their aristocratic oppressors, [[spoiler:Pain and Yamai Solitude]]. It's heavily implied that only the bearded man with cat ears was wise enough to realize the atrocities of his peers after the murder of [[spoiler:Anne]].

* WouldHurtAChild: [[spoiler:The poverty-ridden rebels]] targeted [[spoiler:Sick]] as a child solely for [[spoiler:being the son of their aristocratic oppressors]], with heavy implications that they would also have killed him if [[spoiler:Anne]], [[spoiler:Sick's]] girlfriend his age whom one of them thurst away beforehand, hadn't stepped in and been killed in a blind rage.

* FamilyExtermination: [[spoiler:The rebels]] decided to exterminate [[spoiler:the Solitude family]], not caring that [[spoiler:Sick]] was a child with no connection to the tyranny of [[spoiler:Pain and Yamai]] over the town. Although they apparently succeeded in killing [[spoiler:Pain and Yamai]], [[spoiler:Sick]] survived with the help of Anne and turned into a monster seeking revenge for [[spoiler:their atrocities]].

* WouldHurtAChild: [[spoiler:The poverty-ridden rebels]] targeted [[spoiler:Sick]] as a child solely for [[spoiler:being the son of their aristocratic oppressors]], with heavy implications that they would also have killed him if [[spoiler:Anne]], [[spoiler:Sick's]] girlfriend his age, hadn't stepped in and been killed in a blind rage.

* TheRevolutionWillNotBeCivilized: The poor mob burned and looted the house of their aristocratic oppressors, [[spoiler:Pain and Yamai Solitude]], but that's not the most horrible part about their rebellion -- they also targeted [[spoiler:Sick]] as a child solely for being the son of the Solitudes and killed a commoner girl his age in a blind rage for trying to stop them.

** [[spoiler:The poverty-ridden rebels]] thrust [[spoiler:Anne]] away when they suspected her of being a spy for [[spoiler:Sick, the innocent son of their aristocratic oppressors]]. They killed her in a blind rage for trying to stop them afterward, with horrific consequences.

** [[spoiler:Sick]] had no problem with hitting [[spoiler:Anne when his butler caught them on a date. He's apologetic about having to hide their relationship that way, though.]]

* ChildrenAreInnocent: [[spoiler:As little children, Sick Solitude and Anne Bran were the only good people in Slowne from the start. Anne was also the only commoner to oppose violence and to value Sick as a person rather than judge him solely based on the decadence and tyranny of his parents.]]

* FamilyExtermination: [[spoiler:The rebels in Slowne decided to exterminate the Solitude family, not caring that Sick was a child with no connection to the tyranny of Pain and Yamai over the town.

* WouldHitAGirl: It's heavily implied that [[spoiler:the poverty-ridden rebels]] killed [[spoiler:Anne]] in a blind rage for [[spoiler:stepping between them and Sick's aristocratic family]].
* WouldHurtAChild: [[spoiler:When Sick was a little boy, the poverty-ridden rebels targeted him in the burning of his entire house because his aristocratic parents oppressed the people of Slowne. It's heavily implied that the mob killed Anne, Sick's girlfriend his age, in a blind rage for stepping between them and him.]]

* FamilyExtermination: [[spoiler:The rebels in Slowne decided to exterminate the Solitude family, not caring that Sick had nothing to do with the tyranny of Pain and Yamai over the town. Although they apparently succeeded in killing Pain and Yamai, Sick survived with the help of Anne and turned into a monster seeking revenge for their atrocities.]]
