Doronjo-sama, who is only 9 years old, is the strongest!

Yoru no Yatterman" is a fun anime.

If you have not seen it yet, please watch the opening first, whether you know the former "Yatterman" or not. The main character "Doronjo-chan," a 9-year-old girl named Leopard, is so cute and childlike in her gestures, expressions, and atmosphere!

Have you seen it? Good. That's the basic premise. Let's start from there.

Yoru no Yatterman," which started in January 2015, is a spin-off based on the classic gag anime Yatterman of yesteryear, which aired from 1977 to 1979.

The Yatter Kingdom, the kingdom created by Yatterman after his victory in the battle against the Doronbo gang, was oppressive and oppressive to its people. The new Doronboro gang, who inherited the name of their ancestors, rose up out of personal resentment and righteous indignation. Here, good and evil are reversed. In order to "oshioki" the evil Yatterman, the new Doronjo, Tonzler, and Boyacki recklessly challenge the absolute powers that be.

Doronjo, who is only 9 years old, says in a theatrical, childish voice, "You guys are done! and, in accordance with his will, the big men, Tonzler and Boyacki, exert their intelligence, skill, and strength in the service of their little master. The blithe rebels are somewhat funny, but at the same time, they are very sad and lovable.

When I saw the first episode, I was surprised at how dark the story was. First of all, the story is full of a sense of apocalypse, with the moon shattering and the earth being destroyed by a meteorite, just like in a sci-fi robot anime. Then, as time moves on, the lives of Leopard and his friends are depicted, but their lives are poor and the climate is cold. The time comes when their modest happiness comes to an end.

The Leppards, descendants of the sinful Doronbaugh gang, are forced to live on an isolated island as punishment, and when their mother falls ill, they are not satisfied with the treatment and cannot even call a doctor from the outside. As Leopard and his friends try their best to reach the Yatter Kingdom in search of help, they are ruthlessly muzzled by robot soldiers in the shape of the "Yatterman. I was puzzled, "Is it really okay to use such a black image of the iconic hero called 'Yatterman'? I was puzzled.

However, it gradually became clear that this was all a calculated stunt.

Gags interspersed in a severe world where good and evil are reversed

Leopard, who has lost his mother to illness, rises up with tears in his eyes, takes on the name Doronjo, and with Tonzler and Boyacki in tow, sets off for the capital of the Yatter Kingdom to give Yatterman a "bump". In the midst of a kingdom full of enemies, he gains Galina and Alouette as his friends, and sets out in earnest for the capital.

The development from this point on is like watching the pieces of a game of reversi being turned over and over. In a world where good and evil are reversed, characters and icons are given new meanings. In the midst of all this, the heavy and bitter storyline regains its original flavor as a gag anime.

In Yatter Kingdom, Doronbou is a righteous bandit and Yatterman, the absolute monarch who torments people, is a symbol of evil and unreasonableness. And in this dark world, laughter is a force for the future. As the indomitable Doronbow and his gang boldly challenge the Yatterman soldiers, familiar lines are uttered by the three men as they imitate the words and actions of their ancestors, and the slapstick, deadly battle takes on the tinge of a gag.

The slapstick fight takes on a gag-like quality. "We prepared this just in case something like this might happen," says the jokingly sensible mecha, and with an explosion, "Scaponturn! The Doronbaugh gang is blown to pieces and gagged, plunging into a wall and rolling their eyes. On the brink of death, they chirp "Arahora sasser," "Pochitto!" and in the face of overwhelming odds, "As long as Doronbo is around, Yatterman will never prosper in this world! and "As long as Doronbo is around, Yatterman will never prosper in this world! The Doronjos are tough and chic enough to pull off such a feat in the darkest of times, and they do so with the utmost seriousness. Above all, their determined actions are cool.

Doronjo, aka Leopard, who earnestly follows the path she believes in with a childlike sense of justice, is truly adorable and charming. Voltkadze and Elephantus, who call themselves the new Tonzler and Boyacki, are also dandyish and handsome men in word and deed, although they have the same debeso as their ancestors. While keeping a platonic longing for Leopard's mother, Dorothy, they support Leopard like an older brother and father, acting as his shield and fist.

Watching the three earnest men imitate the behavior of their ancestors as told in the picture book, laughing hard and playing hard to get high and playing bad, you can't help but root for them. It must be a characteristic of heroes.

Will we see the birth of a new Yatterman?

What we are interested in is Galina (Gachan), the boy who works with Doronjo and his friends, and Alouette (Al), the girl who is blind. The voices are played by Hiroyuki Yoshino and Shizuka Ito, who played the main characters Gan-chan (Yatterman #1) and Ai-chan (Yatterman #2) in the 2008 remake of "Yatterman. What does this mean?

According to the official TOKYO MX website, "Yoru no Yatterman" is "about a new generation of Doronbow and the birth of a new Yatterman. So will Gachan and Al become the new Yatterman in the future?

But here, too, there is an inversion: there is absolutely nothing righteous or heroic about the two of them. Of course, they are not suited for absolute power in this suffocating kingdom.

Galina is a kind-hearted boy with dexterous hands, but he is a weak and indecisive boy. Whenever he is faced with a decision, he has a habit of trying to decide what to do by rolling dice. Arouette, an innocent girl, is blind and dreamy, and still cannot accept the reality that her parents are dead.

It will be interesting to see what changes will come next for these two ineffectual characters, who are now only protected by Doronjo and his friends. It has also been suggested that General Goro of the rival Yatter Kingdom may be related to Galina and Alouette. When one considers the various possibilities, it seems that a rather straightforward development is awaiting us.

As the subtitle of the first episode says, "The world is pitch black. In the midst of such a serious situation, in which people sometimes die, we are looking forward to seeing how little Doronjo and his two minions, the handsome Tonzler and the reliable Boyacki, will bring laughter and hope back to the kingdom. However, the film's specialty is that any sudden turn of events is possible, depending on the flow of the story. I don't think I will be able to stop being on the edge of my seat.
