YMMV / Hanzawa Naoki

Go To

  • Memetic Mutation: Hanzawa's Catchphrase of "double payback" is easily the most iconic and quotable moment of the show.
  • Narm Charm: The ridiculously overblown confrontations and hammy speeches Hanzawa and his rivals engage in frequently should be nigh-impossible to take seriously, but thanks to the superb acting, they manage to loop back to being genuinely awesome.
  • Retroactive Recognition: One of the unfortunate victims of Kurosaki's Groin Attack in Season 1 is Hideo Ishiguro, better known for his later role as Kurenai Gai/Ultraman Orb.
  • Spiritual Successor: The 2023 series VIVANT was also directed by this series' director Katsuo Fukuzawa, and Masato Sakai plays Yusuke Nogi, another Large Ham salaryman tasked with recovering a huge amount of money. The main differences are the involvement of terrorists and Yusuke's secret job as a black ops operative with Split Personality.
