THE GLORY OF BEELZEBUB IS UPON YOU
Edit doll photos? Who needs editing doll photos when there are screencaps of Beelzebub that I can use to rant about my OTP of joy and love and delinquency?
A brief introduction: Beelzebub is technically the story of a delinquent, Oga, and his follower/boyfriend Furuichi. Oga picks up a baby who turns out to be the son of the Great Demon King sent to conquer the world, and then there are stupidly hilarious shounen hijinks. No one really cares about these two mains, however, so I'll give you this screenshot and leave them behind.
Sexy nurses are really the best part of the hijinks; after that they kind of go downhill, but it's okay, because of every other character being THE ACTUAL BEST.
So Oga goes to a high school full of delinquents, and in a desperate attempt to get rid of his demon baby Beelzebub (who is attracted to strong people), he decides to challenge the "Four Gods" of the high school to find someone stronger than he is who will take the baby. The first of these gods? Kanzaki Hajime.
Seen here with subordinates Shiroyama (braids, desperate unrequited crush on Kanzaki) and Natsume (your average quiet, super-strong, and intelligent sidekick who hangs around these jerks for lolz).
Kanzaki Hajime is obsessed with a drink called "yogurty," and his only attacks are heel drops and variations thereof, one variation of which he learned from a baby (not Beelzebub, a different baby) and which utterly failed to work. He is precious. And kind to children, in a terrifying way.
Oga drops him in a blow and moves on to the next opponent: Himekawa Tatsuya.
Note: Actual contents when not making a pose for the OP sequence less cool than he appears.
Himekawa Tatsuya is rich beyond the dreams of mortal avarice, and there are more pompadour jokes about him than you could possibly shake a stick at. All interior decorations in the apartment building he owns have pompadours. His strength is halved when his pompadour is down (learning this causes Kanzaki to shout, "Who makes up these stupid rules?"). His fucking family owns an island that in defiance of all geological laws IS SHAPED LIKE A POMPADOUR (no, not the outline! The ACTUAL ISLAND IS A FORESTED ROCK FORMATION THAT LOOKS LIKE A POMPADOUR! AND ALSO IT HAS A VOLCANO FOR SOME REASON!).
Of course, sometimes the pompadour must come down. It looks like this:
YES.
Anyway Oga defeats Himekawa easily and goes on to do other goofy shounen series things, and no one cares, because now is when the epic tales of the side characters begin to take off in earnest. For these tales, Himekawa and Kanzaki spend a lot of time together, partly because they are two of the weakest fighters in the series and partly because they are dating.
... maybe only in my head BUT LOOK. They spend a lot of time in each other's faces, because they are delinquents and also want to make out!
GIVE IN TO YOUR ANIMAL LUSTS, BOYS, THOSE MOUTHS WERE MADE FOR MORE THAN GOING "HAH?"
They are together a lot, and sometimes they do things.
Like look confused.
Sometimes they are cops.
I do not recall why they were in cop uniforms for these screenshots, but it doesn't matter, because it is DELIGHTFUL.
Sometimes they are in suits.
Sometimes they are goofy Saiyuki villains.
Nice face paint, boys.
Sometimes they have to explain computer gaming to small stupid demon shotas.
Sometimes they play war games in order to force information out of small stupid demon shotas.
Sometimes they win these war games with the power of friendship.
Also with the power of Himekawa buying a million hacks.
Sometimes they argue because Kanzaki is really jealous when Himekawa goes around with his pompadour down...
... and then they make up by having a pompadour marriage.
I am assuming the priest also had a pompadour.
Sometimes they imagine starting a band.
Sometimes, Himekawa buys them all mecha suits created by an actual company that makes costumes for movies.
FOR GREAT DELINQUENT JUSTICE.
Yes, there may be other plot-related things going on involving power-ups and other demons trying to kill baby Beelzebub, but with this kind of quality storytelling going on in the background, who really cares?
There is also a small but not to be overlooked side plot where Kanzaki befriends Yuka, one of the Red Tails (an all-female gang who kick large amounts of ass). Yuka is a deep-voiced space case with an accent even I can hear, and she is amazing, and she is totally becoming Kanzaki's BFF.
THE BEGINNING OF A BEAUTIFUL BROMANCE.
After an antagonistic beginning, Yuka takes up hanging around Kanzaki and cheering him on, while he starts to absorb her space case conspiracy theories, and together they are beautiful.
THE BROMANCE IN FULL BLOOM - after Kanzaki parrots Yuka's theory that an unseasonable blizzard was caused by "Jack Frost of the Siberian Front".
AND THAT IS WHY YOU SHOULD ALL WATCH BEELZEBUB.
