Synopsis
Unleash the Mayhem: Sentouin, Hakenshimasu!
Prepare yourselves, fellow anime enthusiasts, for a journey into the delightfully twisted and utterly hilarious world of Sentouin, Hakenshimasu! — or as many know it, Combatants Will Be Dispatched! Forget everything you thought you knew about heroes and villains, because this is a story where the bad guys don’t just win; they get bored, and then they decide to conquer the *entire galaxy*. If you’ve ever wondered what happens after world domination, this uproarious series offers a definitive, laugh-out-loud answer that will have you questioning your allegiances and rooting for the most unlikely of protagonists. This isn’t just another Isekai; it’s a genre-bending, trope-subverting masterpiece of comedic chaos.
A Corporation Beyond Good and Evil
At the heart of this galactic absurdity lies the Kisaragi Corporation, an organization so monumentally evil that they’ve already achieved their ultimate goal: complete and utter world domination on Earth. Yes, you read that right. The bad guys won! But what’s a massive, nefarious corporation to do once there are no more worlds left to conquer? The answer, naturally, is to set their sights on the stars. Kisaragi’s next grand ambition is interstellar conquest, and they’re not sending their top brass. Oh no, that would be far too sensible. Instead, they dispatch two of their most… *problematic* agents to a magical, fantasy world, kicking off an epic (and epically funny) adventure that defies all expectations.
Meet the Mayhem Makers
The genius of Sentouin, Hakenshimasu! lies squarely with its unforgettable duo, a pair so perfectly mismatched yet devastatingly effective at causing chaos that you can’t help but adore them. Their mission? To scout, infiltrate, and pave the way for Kisaragi’s eventual takeover of this new, unsuspecting realm. But their methods are anything but conventional, and their personalities are a constant source of comedic gold.
Combatant Agent Six: The Nefarious Nuisance
Our primary “hero” is Combatant Agent Six, a high-ranking member of the Kisaragi Corporation’s elite combatants. Six is not your typical protagonist. He’s lecherous, self-serving, incredibly lazy, and possesses a moral compass that points squarely towards “whatever benefits me.” His entire motivation is climbing the corporate ladder and earning “Evil Points” by performing heinous acts, which he then exchanges for powerful items. He’s the kind of guy who would kick a puppy for a promotion, then complain about the paperwork. Yet, his sheer audacity and unshakeable confidence, combined with his surprising combat prowess, make him an incredibly compelling and surprisingly endearing character, despite his villainous nature. You’ll find yourself laughing at his schemes even as you recoil slightly from their sheer audacity.
Alice: The Cynical Sentinel
Accompanying Six is Alice, a high-spec android designed by the Kisaragi Corporation. Alice is the intellectual foil to Six’s chaotic impulses. She’s brilliant, logical, and possesses a dry, sarcastic wit that constantly punctures Six’s ego and provides much of the series’ deadpan humor. Her advanced technological capabilities often get them out of sticky situations, but her unwavering cynicism and tendency to point out Six’s flaws (and often *cause* his problems) make their dynamic an absolute riot. She’s the brains, the tech, and the voice of reason that Six consistently ignores, leading to increasingly absurd scenarios. Their banter alone is worth the price of admission to this wild ride.
Operation: Magical World Conquest
Upon their arrival in this vibrant, magical fantasy world, Six and Alice are tasked with establishing a foothold for the Kisaragi Corporation. This involves everything from gathering intelligence to recruiting allies – or rather, manipulating unsuspecting locals into becoming their minions. Their “evil” operations are less about grand, destructive schemes and more about petty, self-serving mischief that somehow, against all odds, manages to advance Kisaragi’s agenda. They exploit the local customs, abuse their newfound authority, and generally make a nuisance of themselves, all in the name of corporate expansion. It’s a hilarious subversion of the typical Isekai plot, where the “hero” is actively trying to make things worse, not better.
More Than Just a Demon Lord Problem
But Six’s path up the evil corporate ladder won’t be easy, even for someone so utterly devoid of moral scruples. This magical world isn’t just sitting idly by waiting to be conquered. A powerful Demon Lord’s army is already hatching its *own* nefarious plan, creating a fantastic three-way conflict where Kisaragi’s agents are forced to contend with both local heroes and established villains. This introduces a layer of strategic (and often accidental) complexity, as Six and Alice navigate political intrigue and battlefield skirmishes, often making things worse before they accidentally make them better. The resulting chaos is a masterclass in comedic timing and unexpected plot twists, ensuring that every episode is fresh and unpredictable.
The Art of Evil Comedy
What truly sets Sentouin, Hakenshimasu! apart is its brilliant comedic execution. It’s a series that revels in its absurdity, constantly breaking the fourth wall and playing with Isekai and fantasy tropes. The humor is derived from Six’s morally bankrupt decisions, Alice’s scathing commentary, the ridiculous situations they find themselves in, and the bizarre cast of characters they encounter. From a holy knight with an unfortunate curse to a magically powerful but utterly useless princess, every character adds a unique flavor to the comedic stew. Fans of satirical humor and shows like Konosuba will find themselves right at home, as the series delivers consistent laughs through its clever writing and fantastic voice acting.
Why Sentouin, Hakenshimasu! Deserves Your Attention
If you’re looking for an anime that dares to be different, that flips the script on traditional fantasy narratives, and that promises genuine belly laughs, then Sentouin, Hakenshimasu! is an absolute must-watch. It’s a refreshing take on the Isekai genre, offering a unique perspective from the “villain’s” side, but with a twist that makes them arguably more entertaining than any goody-two-shoes hero. The series brilliantly combines action, adventure, and an unparalleled sense of humor, making it an engaging experience for both newcomers to anime and seasoned fans. The narrative storytelling is fast-paced and never dull, always introducing new elements to keep the comedy fresh and the plot moving.
This anime doesn’t just entertain; it subtly satirizes corporate culture, the concept of heroism, and the often-clichéd elements of fantasy. It asks, “What if evil was just… incredibly incompetent and petty?” and answers with a resounding, “It would be hilarious!” The character development, while rooted in comedy, still allows you to grow fond of these flawed individuals, making their escapades even more enjoyable.
Final Verdict: A Hilarious Journey into Villainy
In conclusion, Sentouin, Hakenshimasu! is a stellar anime that delivers on every front: a unique premise, memorable characters, consistent humor, and a surprisingly engaging plot. It’s a series that doesn’t take itself too seriously, allowing viewers to simply sit back and enjoy the ride as Combatant Agent Six and Alice wreak havoc across a magical world. Whether you’re searching for your next Isekai fix, a laugh-out-loud comedy, or just something refreshingly different, then Combatants Will Be Dispatched! is the perfect choice. Don’t miss out on this fantastic adventure – it’s an evil good time!
