La Blue Girl/Characters

Kunoichi (ninja girls)

Tropes shared by all ninja girls in the series (either from the Miroku clan - Miko, Yaku and Fubuki -, Suzuka clan - Bosatsu - or gone rogue - Kamiri) :

• Kunoichi : all of them have been trained as female ninja, which means an heavy focus on sexual ninja arts. As Miko says during her duel versus Fubuku, martial arts are not necessarily their forte; sex is where they truly excel.
• Amazon Brigade
• Anything That Moves
• Bishoujo
• Highly-Visible Ninja : their costumes are clearly not designed with stealth in mind.
  • Technicolor Ninjas : very conveniently, there is never anybody around to witness them fighting in public places, jumping from building to building, or getting assaulted in school.
• Extreme Omnisexual : ninja girls in the series show no qualm having sex with everything that moves - be it a man, a girl or a tentacled monster. Justified as being part of their kunoichi training to master sexual techniques.
  • Friends with Benefits : as their training require lots of sex, lesbian sex among Miroku ninja girls is seen as completely casual.
• Fille Fatale : sexy teenage ninja girls who love sex, have been trained since a young age to use it to fight monsters and enemy ninjas, and who are very good at it.
• Full-Frontal Assault : usually fight naked most of the time.
• Honor Before Reason / Big Damn Heroes : whatever the odds, they usually remain heroically feathful to their duty toward their clan.
• Impossible Hourglass Figure : all of them sport an impossibly narrow waist.
  • Also Animation Anatomy Aging
• Magical Girl Warrior
• More Deadly Than the Male
• Natural_Weapon : being kunoichi, thanks to their sexual technics, their whole body can be considered as a weapon.
• Power At a Price : sexcraft ninjutsu is powerful against opponents (especially males), but is also a double-edged weapon - especially given how all this continuous sexual training infuse a kunoichi with nymphomaniac tendancies. A kunoichi who lose focus during a sexual duel against an enemy is at risk of drowing herself in pleasure.
• Recruit Teenagers with Attitude
• Sex God : their ninja training make them absolutely invincible in bed.
• She Fu : as expected given the 'ninja' theme in an Hentai video series.
• Stripperiffic ninja costumes.
• Wise Beyond Their Years : Miroku kunoichi are trained in the ninja arts from a young age, so even if they look like cute highschool girls, each one of them has several years of sexual training under their belt.

Miko Mido

Sex with this ninja is never safe, claimed the cover of one of the first US editions of the series

Fearless heroine of La Blue Girl, heiress to the Miroku ninja clan, daughter of the Shikima king, and walking kamasutra of sex ninja moves that leaves her ennemies panting and breathless. A bright and cheerful girl who always keep her spirits high, even at the tentacles of her foes, as her virginal girlishness hides a ninja trained in deadly sexcraft technics.

• Abusive Parents : Not her parents, they're actually very caring, but her older sister, Miyu Mido. In the manga, Miko spends a lot of effort dodging her sister's attempts at enrolling her as a porn star. Thankfully Miko's sister is a lot nicer in the anime and doesn't try forcing Miko into becoming a porn star.
• The Ace : the most skilled of the Miroku kunoichis in sexual ninja arts.
• Badass Adorable : leaving the sex stuff aside, she IS an ass-kicking ninja who always succeed at defeating the bad guys - even if she has to fight dirty for it.
• Adorkable : She does have an inclination towards being clumsy at times. Or for stuttering while trying to talk to a pretty boy who has caught her eye. Or for casually mentionning the 'sex-ninja' part while presenting herself.
• Bi the Way
• Big Eater : she litteraly eats her way off Hammer's wallet to the point the poor boy complain afterward he has not enough money to bring the girls to a motel. Maybe that was the plan from the beginning.
• Cartwright Curse : Miko easily fall in love, especially when there is a good-looking Boy of the Week around. Too bad for her all her attempts at a normal, romantic relationship usually ends up like this.
• The Chosen One : Her position as both a Shikima princess and the successor of the Miroku clan marks her as the target of countless demonic cocks... and the only one who can defeat them !
• Defiled Forever : deconstructed. Begin repeatedly raped by monsters never succeed at breaking her feisty spirit.
• Distracted by the Sexy : in the novel, Miko came really close to submit to Ranmaru just because he really tick all the right boxes that count for her - good looking, big dick.
• Ethical Slut : She is the "kunoichi of justice"; she fucks monsters for Great Justice.
• Exactly What It Says on the Tin : according to both the original manga and the novels, her appartement number is 901 - a play on words for kunoichi, aka female ninja.
• Expy: Of Megumi Oka from Voltes V.
  • Also Mako-chan in Sasuga no Sarutobi is another possible candidate.
• Dangerously-Short Skirt : in her civilian clothes; as a bonus, she also have the habit of Going Commando
• David Versus Goliath : Miko regurlaly takes on shikima monsters that are several times bigger (and well hung) than her, but she usually wins by virtue of her superior skill in sexcraft ninjutsu.
• For Great Justice : invoked in prologue, and Miko is called the 'kunoichi of justice' on Japanese blurb.
• Fille Fatale : use her feminine wiles in episode 4 on a couple of country boys to get food.
• Intimate Healing : one of Miko sexcraft arts in the US comics version.
• Incorruptible Pure Pureness: iron-willed and stick to her duty in spite of all those pesky sexual challenges and other tentations.
• Joshikousei : actually stated as being a 16-years-old highschooler in the original version.
• Gainaxing : several occurences. It helps that she doesn't wear any bra in her ninja costume.
• Good Bad Girl : Miko is a pure and proper young lady, and a princess; she can't help it if sex is how her ninja clan fight demons.
• Hair Decorations : her iconic, absolutely gargantuan hair ribbon.
• Hime Cut
• Last-Minute Hookup : in the last pages of the manga, when Miko discovers that Nin-nin's adult form is... impressive, in all the right ways it counts for a Miroku kunoichi.
• Love at First Sight : Hidemasa in Lady Blue, Maho in Returns.
• Madonna-Whore Complex : the two of them, in the same package; actually the main appeal of the character.
  • Silk Hiding Steel as well as The Ingenue : equally nymphomaniac and innocent, iron-willed but sensual, always devoted to her duty in spite of being pitted against skilled users of sexual ninjutsu.
  • Shameless Fanservice Girl while fighting, she reverts to Sudden Humility every time Nin-nin try to sneak a peek.
  • Also a play on the Technical Virgin trope as if it was interpreted by a Bunny Ears Lawyer : as she has yet to have sex with a normal, regular man, Miko can claims she is actually a virgin.
  • Her character takes in equal measures from the Yamato Nadeshiko archetype (when serious) and the bimbo one (when fooling around).
  • Ping-Pong Naivete
• Modesty Towel : always invoked after taking a bath - in spite of being used to fight in the nude the rest of the time.
• My Girl Is a Slut : Miko usually spend her days off training. By masturbating.
• Ninja Pirate Zombie Robot : highschool student, heir to a clan of sex ninjas and princess of a demonic realm.
• Not So Above It All : continuously shoot down Nin-nin for being the horny little horndog that he is... but she will reward him with a lick or a wank when he has been particulary helpful for defeating the villain of the day.
• Plucky Girl: Nothing can keep that ninja down. For long, anyway.
• Rapunzel Hair : double as a weapon of mass destruction.
• Rescue Sex : she accepts to perform some service as a reward to Nin-nin for saving her in several instances; alas, those scenes were among the first ones to be deleted in the US version for fear of Nin-nin being identified as a child, and to this day remain unseen in almost all Western video editions (the old VHS edition from Italian editor Yamato Video in the early 90's being probably the only noticeable exception, because the Italians are awesome).
• Royals Who Actually Do Something : princess of the Shikima realm. So yeah, Miko actually is the first and probably only multi-classed sex ninja/princess character in anime history.
• Shy Blue-Haired Girl : how she introduces herself usually.
• Situational Sexuality : claims all she want is a male boyfriend, yet enjoy sex with other girls.
• Sideboob : in her original ninja costume.
• Spirited Young Lady : for her almost childishly spirited personality.
• Symbol Motif Clothing : hair decorations had certain meanings attached to them; here, Miko's big overhead ribbon could mean she is looking to get herself a man. Which would explain why she complain about not having any boyfriend.
• Stocking Filler : illustrators of official artworks love picturing Miko in garters.
• The Tease : she has her moments, usually to troll poor Nin-nin.
• The Ugly Guy's Hot Daughter : Daddy being the king of a demonic specy and all that.
• Weak but Skilled : her skill with the sexual ninja arts more than make up her (relative) ineffectiveness in classical combat.
• Wise Beyond Their Years : cute highschool girl with the sexual skills of a seasoned porn star.

Nin-nin

Midget ninja, comic relief, and an extreme case of a peeping Tom who just can't avoid putting his eyes - if not his hands - on the girls.

• Born Unlucky : the only living being in the whole series, in any form or capacity, who never has the opportunity of putting a piece of his anatomy inside the heroines.
• Chivalrous Pervert : Down to a T; being perpetually surrounded by hot girls banging demons days and nights, you can't really blame him when he try to pester them to obtain some sexual favours - especially when he hilariously get shot down.
• Double Standard : an inversion from the usual gender roles; while the girls are freely spending most of screen time running around naked doing lewd things, Nin-nin will get beaten as soon as he appear ready to do or say something saucy.
• I'm a Man, I Can't Help It : or he can try, at least. He rarely succeds.
• Marshmallow Hell : how the girls usually reward him.
• Little People Are Surreal
• Loin Cloth
• Loveable Sex Maniac : 'lovable' maybe not so much, as several of Nin-nin's antics toward the girls (voyeurism, fondling) come out as particulary creepy and/or rape-y. Thankfully the girls are skilled enough with ninja arts to put him at his place when he needs it.
• Stalker with a Crush / Bodyguard Crush : or more precisely lust; how Nin-nin handle is job as Miko's servant.
• Sleeps with Everyone but You : can you imagine the torture of living with a hot ninja girl who is also a sexual prodigy, who do the dirty with tons of demons and ninjas, and never being the lucky guy ? Okay, the lucky enemy ?
• Smurfette Principle : inverted; the only male in a all-female ninja clan.

Yaku

The buxom lycanthropic ninja girl from the hidden Miroku ninja village. Helps Miko during her fight against Kugutsumen and Kamiri in order to retrieve the stolen treasure of the clan. Sensual and strong-willed, she is determined to avenge her fallen comrades - and have fun with a boy or two along the way, too.

• Adaptation Dye Job: Her hair is black in the manga, but is green in the anime.
• All Girls Want Bad Boys : pretty much in the clear about the fact that she likes yankees (japanese young delinquents)
• Big Breasts, Big Deal : circle between the different types of the trope, depending on the occasion.
• Buxom Is Better : invoked by the series producer.
• Girlish Pigtails: Manga only. Averted in the anime.
• Lady of War : easily the most mature-looking one among the three Miroku kunoichis.
• Last of Her Kind : only survivor of the attack on the secret Miroku village.
• Most Common Superpower : actually almost lampshaded by Miko.

• Our Werewolves Are Different : they get horny at fullmoon, to begin with. And they won't settle down without getting any.
• Rescue Sex : several instances of her gladly doing this, first with Nin-nin and later with Hammer.
• Shapeshifter Weapon : werewolf form.
• The Spartan Way : Yaku's Miroku village prefered method of training ? Masturbating outdoors in winter when it's freezing outside. Maybe not Training From Hell material, but still.

Fubuki Kai

Self-taught ninja and later, half-demon feisty girl. Initially she wants to take Miko's place at the top of the Miroku ninja clan. Vicious and dirty-minded, she will prove herself a strong opponent for Miko, and a even stronger ally after her defeat.

• Adaptation Dye Job In the manga, her hair was black and short, whereas in the anime, her hair is long and light-brown.
• Alpha Bitch: When she first appears.
  • Lovable Alpha Bitch: Still slightly haughty at times, but mellows out considerably post Heel Face Turn
• Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: At first.
• Boyish Short Hair: Manga only.
• Combat Pragmatist as well as The Strategist: She doesn't hesitate to use tricks and highly crafted plans to get the upper hand upon her enemy beforehand.
• Defeat Means Friendship : becomes an ally of the Miroku clan after losing her sex duel against Miko.
• Girlish Pigtails: Averted in the manga, due to having short hair. Played straight in the anime though.
• Really Gets Around : probably the most openly sexually active of the three Miroku kunoichi.
  • Upgraded to Our Demons Are Different status at the end of episode 5.
• Petite Pride : pretty confident in her sex ninja skills in spite of having much smaller breast than the other kunoichi.
• Shapeshifter Weapon : demonic form.
• Otaku : a 'kunoichi otaku' more specifically.
• Vagina Dentata : Shikima!Fubuki has it, and she gets to use it in Returns. Snap.
• Worthy Opponent: Miko's dad was impressed how well she held out in her duel with Miko, so while she lost the duel, she gained entry into his family as a half demonic hybrid via infusion of Shikima essence provided by him.

Shikima realm

Demonic otherworld populated by a diverse set of tentacled horrors.

Maria

Queen of the Shikima kingdom, former Miroku kunoichi and long-lost mother of Miko.

• Follow in My Footsteps : to Miko as she is a kunoichi, stunning, and Shikima royalty.
• MILF : probably in her early 40s and absolutely stunning.
• Missing Mom : entrusted Miko at birth to her mother so her daughter could grow up in the human world.
• Sexy Backless Outfit. Not much clothing on the front either, thought.

King Shikima

• Fisher King : a recurring plot point, weakening the king is the same as weakening the whole kingdom - a prerequisite for any foe who want to conquer the Shikima dimension.
  • Freud Was Right : as his life-force is directly linked to his sexual prowess. Said differently, his phallus is a direct expression of his sovereignty.
• Hands-Off Parenting : not that he doesn't love his daughter but as a Shikima, he has been culturally programmed to be a strong adherent to the Social Darwinism ethos and think that Miko needs to fight her own battles to keep on growing stronger and stronger. See also Tough Love
• Luke, I Am Your Father : a major plot point during the first story arc.
• Open-Minded Parent : Given Miko's field of expertise, saying "The way you're going now I'm sure you will be breaking a lot of guys' hearts" is tantamount to official parental clearance to screw as many boys as she wants
• The Big Guy. Should be ashamed to let his daughter do all the work.
