 * Lovable Sex Maniac:
 * Robot Buddy: Particularly in the 2010 movie where he's retconned to Kodai's personal "Mother Box".
 * What Measure Is a Non Human: usually played for laughs due him asking Sado for how to become more human (once resulting in him going in mission DRUNK), but there's a very sad episode showing the contrast between his robotic body and his very human feelings for Yuki.
