The Legend of Koizumi/YMMV

"Koziumi: Can you see me now, Grandpa? I've become... I've become a truly strong man."
 * Alas, Poor Villain: Rommel.
 * Badass Decay: Oddly enough, (revealed in a Chapter 18 flashback) to the Butt Monkey of his first appearances. On the other hand,.
 * Crazy Awesome
 * Crosses the Line Twice: The worst example so far has to be Bush Jr.'s night attire in the 3rd OVA. A nightcap? Oh dear...
 * Crowning Moment of Awesome: Every chapter seems like it is the best one yet... Then the next chapter comes out.
 * Every time someone pulls out their Finishing Move. Every. Time.
 * Chapter 48's entirety.
 * Crowning Moment of Heartwarming:
 * Oh, and that Theme Music Power-Up?
 * And much earlier in the manga when Koizumi is trying to pull a Heroic Sacrifice.

 * Evil Is Sexy: Skozerny, Ruddel, Rommel, Tristan and Isolde. Arguably, Yulia and Putin, before banding together along with the other good guys.
 * Fan Disservice: Taizo, no one wants to see you naked.
 * Genius Bonus: As this page shows, the series has sneaky ShoutOuts for everything from Greek mythology to Dragon Ball to the Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics.
 * Hilarious in Hindsight: Infamous Dragonball Z and Anne Frank crossover fanfic "Until the End of Time" has the memetic line "Hitler had become a Super Saiyan". Guess what happens here.
 * Holy Shit Quotient: I think this is self explanatory.
 * Magnificent Bastard: EVERY major character to some degree, but Nazi Special Operative Otto Skorzeny in particular. But then THE Magnificent Bastard HIMSELF shows up. ..
 * Never Live It Down: In the anime, at least, George W. Bush is razzed for several flubs from very early in his presidency, including the time he managed to fall off a Segway and the time he nearly died choking on a pretzel. The infamous shoe-throwing incident is also a source of ridicule.
 * This is all highlighted when we see him in bed, where he has a shoe next to his pillow, pretzels by his head, a Segway beside his bed, and a toy plane probably meant to suggest the infamous flight suit/"Mission Accomplished" debacle.
 * Tear Jerker:
 * Followed by
 * After : "Return home  This world is full of corruption."
 * "It's a shame, Mr. Junichirou. If I had the ability to cry, those words would have reduced me to tears."
