It all starts when Gokudou steals a pouch from a fortuneteller, thinking that it contains a gem. Instead, it turns out to be a rock, from which emerges Djinn. The genie grants Gokudou the standard three wishes, but our anti-hero doesn't think heavily about his wishes. Gokudou does get his wishes, though not exactly in the fashion that he expected. The best thing he gets out of his wishes is Honou no Maken, a magical sword that enables its owner to do fire attacks and it can be summoned from anywhere in the world.
Even with an enchanted sword, Gokudou doesn't get much respect. He gets turned into a woman by Djinn, who is also a shapeshifter. He is followed by Rubette La Late, a potential love interest who is more interested in adventure, karaoke and outperforming Gokudou. He gets whapped on the head a lot, especially by the fortuneteller who reappears throughout the series just to plague Gokudou it seems. Later in the series, he gets another sidekick, a former evil magician named Prince, who is more handsome and a better womanizer than Gokudou.

Where it came from
Gokudo, released in 1999 by Studio Trans Arts, emerged during the late nineties boom of fantasy-adventure anime. Adapted from the light novel series Gokudo-kun Man'yuuki by Usagi Nakamura, the show follows the titular anti-hero Gokudo on a series of irreverent and often chaotic quests. It was produced as a comedic subversion of traditional heroic fantasy tropes, distinguishing itself through its lead character's cynical, mercenary personality compared to the earnest protagonists common to the genre at the time.
The character designs were handled by Koji Kishi, who aimed to capture the kinetic and absurdist tone of the original source material. The series utilizes a vibrant, rough-hewn animation style that aligns with its slapstick sensibilities and rapid-fire dialogue. Upon its release, it was received as a niche cult title, appreciated by viewers who enjoyed the irreverent humor and the departure from more serious, high-fantasy epics that dominated the era.
