Changes: Princess Robot Bubblegum

Revision as of 06:22, 10 April 2016

Princess Robot Bubblegum is a fictional Japanese anime series featured in the HD Universe of the Grand Theft Auto series.

Description

Princess Robot Bubblegum is a general parody of shōjo (young female) anime; however, it incongruously mixes this with tropes of shōnen (young male), seinen (mature male), and hentai (pornographic) anime.

In Grand Theft Auto IV, PRB is only mentioned in a radio advertisement, however in The Ballad of Gay Tony, the program itself appears on television, specifically on CNT. Within the game universe, it courts controversy, with Weazel News in GTA IV reporting on a protest by Asian Americans against the airing of the anime. Also, in Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars, there are many advertisements of PRB throughout Liberty, mostly in Dukes and Bohan.

In Grand Theft Auto V, the anime was supposed to broadcast, but some parents were aware of issues concerning young males possibly raping cosplayers at schools. Thus the anime show was banned from airing on TV (although it is already banned since the beginning of the game).

In the enhanced version of Grand Theft Auto V, however, an episode of the cartoon is available to watch, and is broadcast on CNT.

Cast

Character	Description	Image
Princess Robot Bubblegum	The eponymous protagonist. She fights the forces of evil and darkness with a robotic power suit which shoots missiles from its chest. She also owns a cell phone which transforms into a vibrator. Her catchphrase is "Too horny to fight crime". She is voiced by Ayana Osada.
Master Hentai	PRB's foul-mouthed sensei. He trains PRB after her ninja parents leave her on his doorstep. He tells PRB that she must train in skimpy clothing for merchandising purposes. It is revealed that Master Hentai is a pedophile (after "an innocent swimming lesson" which resulted in his arrest and the addition of a blue dot being added over his house on an online predator database), his forehead is shaped like a buttocks and the end of his cane is shaped like the foreskin of a penis. His name refers to the aforementioned pornographic anime. He is voiced by Lloyd Floyd.
Saki	PRB's alcoholic and drug abusing floating animal sidekick. He is seen drinking a malt beverage, then promptly vomiting in Master Hentai's dojo, peeing in the graveyard scene, and overdosing on heroin during the final fight sequence. His name refers the Japanese alcoholic rice beverage of the same name. He is voiced by Gail Bennington.
Sword Boy	An effeminate blind teenage samurai whom PRB encounters during her quest. As a child, his parents were burned to death in a freak onion volcano accident which left him blind. Sword Boy is seeking the Shogun of Teppanyaki for revenge. He is voiced by Lloyd Floyd.
Humpy	A floating animal sidekick intended to replace Saki after his death. As the name implies, he humps everyone.
Muffy	A floating animal sidekick intended to replace Saki after his death. He uses a cap and diaper.
Grindy	A floating animal sidekick intended to replace Saki after his death. He uses sunglasses and a t-shirt.
Smoker	A Rastafarian floating animal sidekick intended to replace Saki after his death. As the name implies, he smokes a lot.
Poopie	A floating animal sidekick intended to replace Saki after his death. As the name implies, he poops everywhere, which disgusts everyone. Also, he was able to stop Sword Boy from killing off him and the other Saki replacements.

Trivia

The title character's voice in GTA IV's PRB commercial is a mock-Asian caricature; in The Ballad of Gay Tony, she has the American accent more typical of dubbed characters in English-dubbed anime.
Characters in PRB often break the fourth wall, mentioning the show's writers, translators, future episodes, and merchandising.
In a scene of Master Hentai's dojo, a banner can be seen hanging on a wall, which is written in Japanese, saying "忍者は毎日オナニー", which translates to "ninjas masturbate every day".
Master Hentai comically refers to the 2Pac and B.I.G. feud, when talking about the forces of Evil (personified as an Akuma spirit) and Darkness (personified as a Godzilla-esque monster), "One is east coast and the other is west coast! And if you listen to the way that they sound, it's completely different..."
Hentai is Japanese for pervert. Hentai is also the word used for manga and anime pornography used in the west.
During PRB's "Final awkward transformation montage", the background music is the theme song from the TBS music video show "Night Tracks" that ran from 1983 until 1992.
The name of the anime might be based from Bubblegum Crisis which is also set in the future.
In the start of the commercial, the narrator mentions Nymphomaniac Mutant Plants sleeping with scarely matured women in school uniforms. The plants could be referring to Tentacle Rape, a popular type of Hentai in which an octopus, or creature with tentacles, wraps them around a girl's arms and legs, and rapes her with another tentacle, sometimes even releasing sperm through the tentacles. There is another appearance of tentacle rape when a robot wraps PRB with some kind of wires extending form his body, and another one under her vagina, probably waiting to start raping her. The school uniforms are also used in Hentai, since the girls raped are at the age of 18, but they are present in almost any Anime, regardless of if it's erotic or a children's cartoon.
The Sword Boy character design could be a jab at the Final Fantasy series for its use of belt-themed clothing and over-sized swords.
- His design also seems to be based on Cloud Strife from Final Fantasy VII, most notably the use of a giant broadsword and bearing a similar arm bracelet and shoulder piece.

Prbgtav — Princess Robot Bubblegum in the GTA V credits

The show is mentioned in the credits of Grand Theft Auto V for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 despite only being available for the enhanced version of the game.
A Princess Robot Bubblegum action figure can be seen on the wall inside of Lester's house.
In the I'm Not a Hipster Update for GTA V, PRB-themed leggings for female online characters have been added.

PRB mask — Princess Robot Bubblegum mask. Notice the white markings.

In the Heists Update, a PRB-themed balaclava has been added, alongside a plastic mask of the titular character.
- The mask in question has white markings in the hair which are typical of many plastic masks in real life (caused by wear-and-tear), however due to these being absent on the Impotent Rage and Gordon Moorehead masks these could be a reference to the show/character's sexuality.
In the January 2016 Update, a PRB-themed livery for the Sultan RS has been added as an option at Benny's Original Motor Works.
The similar name is appeared in real life but this name is Princess Bubblegum based on the Adventure Time cartoon.
