Dragon Half: Difference between revisions

[[File:dhalf.jpg|frame]]

 

Mink goes on a grand adventure as she pursues the man of her dreams, singing idol Dick Saucer. Unfortunately for Mink, Dick Saucer is a dragonslayer as well as a singer... and further complicating Mink's pursuit of the studly Saucer is Princess Vina, the daughter of the king, who also desires his attention. While a powerful sorceress, the princess has an unfortunate tendency (inherited from her mother) to turn into small blob of intelligent slime at inopportune times.

 

Although the anime is mostly silly, the manga is both silly ''and'' epic. It also features some very strong [[Art Evolution]].

 

{{tropelist}}

* [[All Genes Are Codominant]]: Mink

* [[Art Shift]]: Accompanied by the voices becoming higher when the characters (bad guys included) go into their chibi appearance.

* [[Awesome but Impractical]]: Rogue's robots are this at best, and flat out useless at worst.

* [[Big Bad]]: Azatodeth.

* [[Butt Monkey]]: It sometimes seems like ''most of the cast'' qualifies, but Rosario in particular stands out. Damaramu would, too, but he's completely oblivious.

* [[Catch Phrase]]: Damaramu made a blunder (of a lifetime). Sometimes rendered as "I, Damaramu, shall regret this."

** And given that Mink's father distorts his name as Dick ''Sausage''...

* [[Finishing Move]]: Dick Saucer's Saucer Special. {{spoiler|Which he doesn't use, because right as he's about to fire it, he realizes he's late for a concert.}}

* [[Forgets to Eat]]: Damaramu

* [[Frying Pan of Doom]]: Mana uses one to punish Royce's Casanova tendencies when she doesn't feel like breathing fire on him.

* [[Hermetic Magic]]

* [[Incredibly Lame Pun]]: ''Everywhere.''

* [[Interspecies Romance]]: Where to begin? In the manga, you get: human x dragon, human x Slime, human x naga spider...

** And eventually [[Happily Ever After|Human x Half-Dragon]]!

* [[Pervert Dad]]: Mink's [http://www.mangafox.com/manga/dragon_half/c065/8.html father...]

* [[Plot Hole]]: Parodied with everything regarding Dug Fin, capped by this immortal line:

* [[Prophecy Twist]]: Mink is told that if she undergoes a second ecdysis, a horrific monster will appear. Everyone assumes that Mink will turn into said monster. {{spoiler|Instead, the monster appears as a birthmark on Mink's butt.}}

* [[Punched Across the Room]]: The final fight during the anime.

* [[Refuge in Audacity]]

* [[Ring Out]]: The final fight during the anime.

** And lots more in the Manga. Hell, that example above also references ''[[Mazinger Z]]'' and ''[[Guyver]]'' at the same time.

* [[Shrunken Organ]]: One character is undamaged by a sword through the head because his brain is "compact".

* [[Step Three: Profit]]: The king's plan:

Step 3: Marry Mink's mother }}

* [[Stripperific]]: Does it even need explaining?

* [[Surreal Theme Tune]]

* [[Toilet Humor]]: Saucer in the [[Tournament Arc]].
