The Law of Ueki/Characters

Ueki Team
Kousuke Ueki


 * The Ace: Before he loses his talents. Before he lost his talents though, he was one of the most athletic members on the track team.
 * Awesome By Analysis: So much that once he's figured out your powers and how they work, it is pretty much an Instant Win Condition of Ueki; from that point in the fight onwards its only a matter of time before he beats your face in.
 * Brilliant but Lazy: His initial characterization.
 * The Chew Toy: By Ai
 * Chick Magnet: Before he loses this talent. When he was this, Mori commented that every day, a girl would confess her feelings for him and he'd reject them.
 * Cloudcuckoolander: Even the author states that he's unpredictable.
 * Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass: The morn part comes into full-throttle once the Robert's Ten arc begins.
 * Determinator: Nothing can make him his spirit if he's fighting to protect his friends.
 * Fearless Fool: Oh so much.
 * The Fool : Initially Brilliant but Lazy, but eventually settles on this.
 * Foe Yay: With Robert. Hey, if you say you'll do anything to gain his trust which includes licking his shoe...
 * Green Thumb: His power which is environmentally friendly, turning trash into trees.
 * Heavy Sleeper: Initially which led to the belief that he was Brilliant but Lazy

 * Honor Before Reason: Ever since the Robert's Ten arc

 * No Sense of Direction: In the fight against Marilyn's team, he couldn't figure out where his teammates were and ended up in other places in that area
 * Romi Paku: His seiyuu
 * Talk to the Fist: What Kosuke tends to do to his opponents since he doesn't want to listen to them rant.
 * Teen Genius: Before he lost his intelligence. He was so smart before he lost his powers that he could take tests and get 100 percent on them while he was asleep!
 * This Loser Is You: Justified in that he actually is one of the smarter and athletic characters in the series as well as a Chick Magnet. However, his sense of justice is so high, he uses his powers on thugs often and as a result, loses all the above and becomes this. Mori and everyone around him lampshades this.
 * You Gotta Have Green Hair
 * Your Days Are Numbered: He has the fewest talents in the series for some odd reason and as a result, the more he hurts outsiders, the more talents he loses. Once his talents reaches, zero, he'll die. Mori has to keep reminding him not to use his powers but he doesn't listen.

Ai Mori


 * Badass Normal: For half of the series before she got her powers, she was able to hold her own in battle by outsmarting many of the villains. Even with her useless power, she managed to trick them and still come off on top.
 * The Chick
 * The Generic Girl: Until she gets her powers.
 * Genki Girl
 * Goggles Do Nothing
 * Game Breaker: Her power. The only thing that prevents it from being one is the "Goodie Two-Shoes Pose" requirement.
 * He Who Must Not Be Seen: Her parents never appear in the anime but they make at a few cameos in the manga as they often worry about their daughter.
 * Lethal Chef: Subverted. Her food looks bad but tastes great.
 * The Load: A more straight example than Hideyoshi. She has useless powers that can't help her friends out. Becomes more evident in the final battle in which all she can do is stand there and watch
 * Protectorate: To Kosuke.
 * The Scrappy: Your Mileage May Vary, but it has to do with constantly complaining, her annoying voice and the fact she doesn't do much even when she has her powers.

 * Tsundere: Type A.
 * You Gotta Have Aquamarine Hair

 * Awesome By Analysis: He can figure out a person's power very quickly. On the down side, he's knocked out before he can do anything.

 * Exactly What I Aimed At
 * Extra Ore Dinary: Can turn towels into steel by holding his breath.
 * Selective Magnetism: His Level 2 ability.
 * Ho Yay: With Kosuke. The majority of the time, when Sano is in danger, it's always Kosuke that has to go save him and Kosuke literally snaps at the person who hurt him.
 * Semi final match is the best example. Sano was knocked out of the battle in 2 minutes time and Kosuke snapped at his opponent. Funny how you don't see Kosuke yelling at the opponent Mori was fighting in the previous match despite the fact she was at a disadvantage.
 * Kansai Regional Accent
 * The Lancer
 * Nice Guy
 * Noodle Incident: How he got the burn on his face. All the character manual says is that he got into an accident at the hot springs.
 * Only Sane Man
 * Parental Abandonment/Parental Neglect: Your Mileage May Vary if this is the case for Sano's family since Sano never mentions his parents nor do they get screen time. The way he treats Wanko is more like a father than a friend and then there's the fact that
