History YMMV / TheLegendOfBlackHeaven

* MemeticMutation: [[{{Narm}} Worst black guy in a Japanese dub ever]]. See {{Narm}} bellow.

* SignatureScene: The ScaryBlackMan with the [[{{Narm}} Narmy voice]] killing Watanabe.
* WatchItForTheMeme: As most of the tropes on this page demonstrate, Watanabe's death is by far the biggest thing people know about the anime.

* {{Narm}}: In the original Japanese audio, the scene where a ScaryBlackMan beat the crap out of Watanabe got seriously ruined with [[DullSurprise the flat delivery]] of the English VA despite having a SurprisinglyGoodEnglish and tons of ClusterFBomb, not to mention that he sounded less like a ScaryBlackMan and [[VocalDissonance more like a white guy]] from {{Joisey}} trying to record his lines without waking his parents in the next room. This is thankfully [[{{Woolseyism}} fixed]] in the dub by giving the role to Creator/BeauBillingslea, who was already dubbing Oji, with [[LargeHam hams aplenty]] in a way that makes Creator/SamuelLJackson proud.

* {{Narm}}: The most dramatic wrist sprain ever.

* {{Woolseyism}}: Watanabe's death was caused by him acidentally flippping off some muscular dude. In the original Japanese, he couldn't explain the misunderstanding because of language barriers. In the English dub, it's because he didn't realize he was accidentally insulting the guy.

* {{Yoko Oh No}}: Yoshiko, or [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything "Yokko"]], a former groupie of Black Heaven, is quite unsupportive and hostile when Oji takes up the guitar again.

* CrossesTheLineTwice: Watanabe's death by accidentally FlipingTheBird at a [[SirSwearsALot curse spouting]] ScaryBlackMan. Which is made [[{{Narm}} accidentally sillier by the original version's delivery]].

* AlternateCharacterInterpretation: At various points in the series you're going to be looking at Oji as anything from a god of ROCK unjustly trapped in a fleshy cubicle prison to a lovable putz to a philandering asshole who refuses to take his heads out of the clouds.
