Plot Overview

In the future, a man named Sakura is destined to create the technology for eternal life, which (due to Sakura's lolicon tendencies) freezes all women's aging once they turn twelve. God refuses to allow this, so he sends his angels to the past to kill Sakura before he can do this. But one angel, Dokuro-chan, decides to try to change the future without killing him. Problem is, Dokuro is very temperamental, and is constantly killing Sakura (and lots of other people too) in incredibly bloody ways with her giant spiked club. Good thing she can bring people back to life - if only to grusomely kill them again the next time she loses her temper.

Characters

Sakura Kusakabe (草壁桜, Kusakabe Sakura^?)

Voiced by: Reiko Takagi

Sakura is a second year junior high school student whose life changed the day the "Bludgeoning Angel" Dokuro-chan appeared. From that day on, he went from the life of a normal boy to one filled with bloody clubbings by said angel. In the future, Sakura is apparently destined to create a technology that stops girls from aging after they reach the age of twelve years, which has led to Sakura gaining a reputation as a pedophile around his school (though this is only because the male population are jealous of him having two heart-breakingly beautiful angels attracted to him). While not perverted by nature, Sakura still manages to get into tricky situations with Dokuro and later her sister. He has a crush on his classmate and friend Shizuki Minakami, though he is too afraid to tell her, but soon he develops feelings for Dokuro despite the way she treats him.

Dokuro Mitsukai (三塚井ドクロ, Mitsukai Dokuro^?)

Voiced by: Saeko Chiba

Dokuro is a cute angelic assassin from the future brought back through time to kill Sakura Kusakabe, but instead tries to save him. Mostly, she is just like any other young girl but where other girls might shout or slap to express their displeasure, Dokuro draws her magical spiked kanabō "Excaliborg" and brutally clubs her victim to death with it (the gag is the only real victim of the clubbing is Sakura). "Excalibolg" is likely a reference to the legendary weapons Excalibur and Caladbolg. She has super-human strength and endurance (because of this she often underestimates her own strength and harms Sakura), and is also capable of bringing someone back to life with Excalibolg by chanting Pipiru piru piru pipiru pi (the refrain of the theme song in the opening credits). She also can, and does, use her magic to cause humans to transform into animals, or to apparently completely erase them from existence. When she is not brutally killing Sakura she teases him mercilessly, mostly using sexual innuendo and lifting her skirt or shirt. She is in love with Sakura and hints that they have kissed (though Sakura vehemently denies this). Eventually, she founds a school club dedicated to watching wood glue dry, after gaining a teacher's approval using some sort of torture involving "the nerves of your teeth". She promptly coerces Sakura into becoming its second member (by sticking him onto a board and leaving him there until he joins) and has stated her desire to achieve the national championship in this particular 'sport'. As of the second season, Dokuro has become more "comfortable" with Sakura seeing her nude, from stripping in front of him and snuggling up to him while both of them were naked.

Sabato Mihashigo (三橋檎サバト, Mihashigo Sabato^?)

Voiced by: Rie Kugimiya

Sabato is another angel sent from the future to assassinate Sakura before he can create his "Pedophile's World". Also with super-human strength, Sabato has ram horns on her head. After she was defeated, she began to live in a small cardboard box under a bridge; her living allowance is funded from an unknown source. Her weapon of choice is a deadly shock-baton called Durandal which according to Sabato can "char blue whales in the blink of an eye." "Durandal" is most likely a reference to Durendal, the sword of Charlemagne's paladin Roland.

Zansu (ザンス^?)

Voiced by: Nobuo Tobita

Zansu is yet another angel from the future who has accompanied Dokuro in the attempt to save Sakura's life. He has a very odd appearance, looking more like a biker gang member than an angel. He is unfortunately revealed to have some perverted tendencies. Every sentence Zansu says ends in "Zansu". He is frequently nude in the second series.

Zakuro Mitsukai (三塚井ザクロ, Mitsukai Zakuro^?)

Voiced by: Akeno Watanabe

Zakuro is Dokuro's younger nine-year-old angel sister, though she looks significantly older, and has a far larger bust size than her older sister. She has the super-human powers of most angels and wears a dress modeled after a naval officer's uniform, as well as an eyepatch on her left eye, for unknown reasons and is unusually polite, addressing people with the formal "-san" suffix after their names as opposed to the informal "-kun" or "-chan". Calm and soft-spoken, she is quite proficient in battle. Her weapon is a wet towel named "Eckilsax" which can split into two or more for close combat, as well as stretching itself to bind the opponent. In the second anime series, she moves in with Sakura and Dokuro. She seems to get on well with Sakura and appears to have developed a crush on him, although she sometimes suggests that Dokuro kill Sakura only to realize what she's saying and apologize but it is ususally too late by then.

Shizuki Minakami (水上静希, Minakami Shizuki^?)

Voiced by: Ayako Kawasumi

Shizuki is one of Sakura's good friends, and is also one of his classmates. She hangs out with Sakura most of the time, and is one of the more normal characters in the series as she never gets excited or otherwise when odd things begin to happen. Shizuki seems to have some feelings for Sakura. She is noteworthy among her classmates for being the only one who does not hold Sakura in contempt and believes him to be a good person.
