'''''Hell Teacher Nube''''' is a manga and anime.
Meisuke Nueno ([[Everyone Calls Him "Barkeep"|known as "Nube" by everyone who knows him]]) was always able to see spirits as a child, thanks to his [[Psychic Powers]]; this made him a [[Magnetic Medium|constant target]] for all kinds of nasty creatures. Not to mention, his mentor and mother figure Minako-sensei perished because of this...
Line 7 ⟶ 9:
----
{{tropelist}}
* [[Accidental Pervert]] - And [[Misblamed|nobody ever hears Nube's side of the story]], either.
* [[
* [[An Aesop]] - The vast majority of events involving Nube's kids results in them learning a valuable moral.
* [[An Ice Person]] - Yukime, naturally (as well as her "sister.") But not only can she create ice, hail, and snow in any amount she needs, she's actually ''made'' of it, and warm climates can make her drip or melt... starting with her face and chest. She just surrounds herself with a snowman until she has cooled down again.
Line 21 ⟶ 22:
* [[Balloon Belly]]
* [[Beautiful All Along]] - The child of a Monkey God is a [[Casanova]]-wannabe [[Gonk]] that disgusts all the girls (even the one that looks like a [[Gonk]] herself) until he reaches maturity, becoming an [[Bishonen|impossibly beautiful and gallant boy]] that goes away and leaves said girls cursing their luck.
** It was actually ''even funnier''; the said son of a Monkey God transformed into a [[Gonk]] because he ''thought'' his [[Bishonen|true form]] would scare females away...
* [[Belligerent Sexual Tension]] - [[Jerk with a Heart of Gold|Hiroshi]] and [[Tsundere|Kyoko]], definitely. Also see [[Rescue Romance]] above.
* [[Big Brother Instinct]] - Katsuya is ''very'' protective of his little sister Manami. And Bakki would rather fight alongside Nube rather than hurting his sister Minki.
Line 47 ⟶ 48:
* [[Defeat Means Friendship]] - Tamamo, Minki, and {{spoiler|Baki}}.
* [[Defrosting Ice Queen]] - Yukime.
** {{spoiler|Ritsuko-sensei, who would always keep Nube at arms' length due to his connection to the supernatural, eventually does come around and accept him for what he is. Unfortunately [[Crying Wolf|he's so used to being spurned]], he thinks she's under [[Demonic Possession]] and slaps the tar out of her with his exorcism sutra}}.
* [[Demonic Possession]] - Naturally, a recurring theme.
* [[Demoted to Extra]] - It looked like Akira would be one of the main charas from Nuube's class, but never got lots of development. Subverted a bit later in the manga, when he shows off his [[Teen Genius|scientific skills]].
* [[Determinator]] - Nube, by dint of being a [[Shounen]] hero. But then, he takes it [[Up to Eleven|a notch above]] reasonable levels; even if all he has left is a broken toe and the rest of him is a bloody paste, he'll stand on that broken toe and [[Papa Wolf|protect the innocent]] (even former foes.)
* [[Disability Superpower]] - Ayumi Kinoshita, a perpetually bedridden [[Ill Girl]] who was taught by Nube to project her astral body to attend school like any other kid.
* [[Dude in Distress]] - Hiroshi gets kidnapped by Tamamo in episode 7 and spends a good portion of episode 8 with his hands chained together.
* [[Dogged Nice Guy]] - Nube, to Ritsuko.
* [[Dumb Blonde]] - Miki's selfishness, [[Genre Blindness]], materialism, and willingness to [[Sealed Evil in a Can|unseal supernatural horrors]] [[Schmuck Bait|just to see if they're true]], have gotten her ''and'' the rest of the class (if not the town) into loads and loads of trouble. Miki, sweetie, ''learn your lesson'' already.
Line 68 ⟶ 69:
* [[Furo Scene]] - Actually, a whole Furo Episode when they attended a bathhouse, due to the bathrooms all over town being haunted. The bathhouse was haunted too.
* [[Gag Boobs]] - Oh dear, ''Miki''. Also Miss Ritsuko.
* [[Gender Bender]] - The offspring of a loving [[
* [[Genre Blindness]] - Miki plays ''way the hell too much'' with the supernatural and invokes too many tropes for her own good. You'd think she would have [[An Aesop|learned something]] after [[Too Dumb to Live|the fiftieth time]] Nube saved her from [[Hoist by His Own Petard|the side-effects of her own pranks]].
* [[Ghostly Goals]] - Nube ends up assisting a large number of spirits achieve these.
Line 77 ⟶ 78:
* [[Gratuitous Spanish]] - "Adios!" and boom goes Tamamo's [[Dangerous Forbidden Technique]].
* [[The Grim Reaper]] - Is a [[Meganekko]], wields a [[Sinister Scythe]], and [[Kawaiiko|likes ice cream and cute things]].
* [[Hard Work Hardly Works]] - Subverted. Nube went through long years of arduous training to get to his level of skill. Whenever Izuna tries to find the easy way, she tends to get into trouble and Nube scolds her for it.
* [[Haunted Technology]] - And if it isn't, Nube can stick his hand in it and use it in ways it wasn't meant for.
* [[Heel Face Turn]] - Yukime and Tamamo. {{spoiler|And Nube's [[Red Right Hand|left-hand Oni]], Baki, as well as his sister, Minki}}.
Line 83 ⟶ 84:
* [[Heroic Host]]
* [[Hot-Blooded]] - Nube and Hiroshi. Sometimes, Izuna.
* [[Hot for Student]] - Played with, since despite Kyouko's open interest in Hiroshi, her first crush was actually ''Nube''. And in their past lives, they were lovers (as a princess and her retainer who held a [[Bodyguard Crush]] on her).
** Additionally, when Tamamo joined the school as the nurse, all the girls gained crushes on him. He didn't do a lot to encourage them (aside of some random flirting to piss Nube off), since he had quite a goal in mind...
* [[Ho Yay]] - Nube and Tamamo, though mostly on Tamamo's side.
* [[Huge Schoolgirl]]: Subverted with Miki, who ''loves'' her large chest and also adores to tease the flat-chested Kyouko about that. Noriko plays it more straight since she's very modest and shy about hers, until she's possessed by a mischievous spirit...
Line 130 ⟶ 131:
* [[Parental Abandonment]] - {{spoiler|Nube's father, again}}. Hiroshi's father, who works as a trucker, is on the road so often he might as well count, but father and son still love each other very much.
* [[Perpetual Poverty]] - Nube, to the point of the actual ''God'' of Poverty haunting him for a few weeks. It is shown explicitly that he ''could'' make a fortune by abusing his clairvoyance and other [[Psychic Powers]] (much like Izuna {{spoiler|and his father}}), but [[Honor Before Reason|chooses not to out of dignity]], outside of cheating at the nearby Pachinko machines. And what kind of an example would he set for his students if he didn't earn his living honestly, anyway?
* [[Pet the Dog]] - Shuuichi Shirato is a male [[Rich Bitch]], but he genuinely loves animals and specially dogs. {{spoiler|To the extreme of being willing to [[Heroic Sacrifice|give up on his own life]] to calm down a dog spirit which rage he incurred upon, so it wouldn't kill his friends.}})
* [[Pilot]] - The first episode of the anime series was adapted from the manga pilot, which was called "Hell Teacher ''Nubo''" and had a drastically different character design for the titular character.
* [[Playing with Fire]] - Izuna spontaneously develops pyrokinesis while going through her first crush. [[Superpower Meltdown|Uncontrollable at first]], [[Clothing Damage|causing her clothes to disintegrate]] [[Fan Service|*all the time*]], and leaving Nube and the others to worry about her not developing the [[Required Secondary Powers]] to survive her own flame. She learns to control it [[Kill It with Fire|with amazing efficiency]].
Line 155 ⟶ 156:
* [[Sink or Swim Mentor]] - Nube's {{spoiler|father}}.
* [[Split Personality Takeover]] - Happens to Ritsuko when the spirit of Minako-sensei accidentally ends up in ''her'' body, fusing both personalities into "[[Action Girl|Miss]] [[Badass|Rinako]]."
* [[Stringy
* [[Stripperiffic]] - Minki redefines the trope. Her first appearance in the manga was [[Naked People Are Funny|missing her thong panties]], meaning she was missing about 70% of her total wardrobe. Nube gives her actual clothing later on.
* [[Supernaturally Delicious and Nutritious]] - Nube in his youth; I think at least one of his clients and/or students ended up with a similar problem.
Line 161 ⟶ 162:
* [[Tall, Dark and Bishoujo]]: Ai Shinozaki, Ritsuko-sensei
* [[Thanks for the Mammary]] - Nube accidentally groping a woman ''with the Oni Hand'' results in Minako-sensei getting ''very'' angry.
* [[Token
* [[Tomboy]] - [[Fiery Redhead|Kyoko]], see below. Justified in that her guardian spirit is a powerful samurai.
* [[Toshiko Fujita]] - Hiroshi
Line 167 ⟶ 168:
* [[Tsundere]] - Kyoko, a Type B (sweet and caring default with a hair-trigger temper). Ritsuko also is one, showing more or less a pleasant disposition until Nube brings up ghosts to the conversation.
** Yukime is also just as likely to [[The Glomp|kiss and hug]] Nube as she is to encase him in ice and toss him out a third-story window when he [[Jerkass|pushes her buttons]].
* [[Two-Teacher School]] - Averted, since Nube and Ritsuko (and Minako-sensei, when alive) are NOT the only teachers we see. The Director is more or less often around (and in fact he hired Nuubee [[Genre Savvy|fully knowing about his powers]]), the PE teacher has helped the cast once or twice, and Tamamo often poses as the school nurse. Ootsuki-sensei also fancies himself a [[Ghostbusters|''scientific'' exorcist]], out to prove paranormal events as some manifestation of "plasma." And then there's Mami-sensei, the [[Token
* [[Urban Legends]] - ...and abuse thereof are part and parcel of Miki's life.
* [[Vitriolic Best Buds]] - Kyoko and Miki are a female version. Nube and {{spoiler|Tamamo}} often act like this after the latter's [[Heel Face Turn]].
* [[Weirdness Magnet]] - Nube (but he gets clients because [[Justified Trope|he is a well-known spiritualist]]) and Class 5-3.
* [[Wishplosion]] - Again, the white puffball that is the Kesaran Pasaran. Used to teach Miki a lesson in its first appearance, then [[Continuity Nod|brought back]] by Nube's kids to [[Crowning Moment of Awesome|defeat the ultimate evil]].
* [[What Is This Feeling?]] - This is the only reason the [[Threshold Guardians|Nine-Tailed
* [[What Is This Thing You Call Love?]] - Before his [[Heel Face Turn]], Tamamo decided to stick around Doumori (and Nube) specifically to find out how [[The Power of Love]] provided the teacher with such [[Determinator|an indomitable will]].
* [[Who Wants to Live Forever?]] - Nube rejects [[Mermaid Saga|a mermaid's offer to eat her own flesh]] due to this trope.
* [[Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?]] - Ritsuko is ''terrified'' of ghosts.
