Super Robot Wars J/Characters

Touya Shun
One of the main characters of SRW Judgement, Touya Shun is just your oridinary everyday 17 year-old Japanese high school student and good friends with Kaname Chidori. Obviously, this normalcy isn't going to last, and a giant robot (of your choice) crashes into his school one day (with 3 hot chicks in it, too!!)

As you play through the game, you find out some things:. He eventually grows a pair of balls, gets over his cowardice and kicks ass.

His mecha depends on what you choose: he can go with the Coustwell (upgrade: Coustwell Brachium), Bellzelute (upgrade: Bellzelute Brigandy), Granteed (upgrade: Granteed Dracodeus) or the secret mecha Vorlent (replaced with the Laftkranz). It does help he's half-Fury, thus his heritage enables him to master the mecha easily. These tropes apply to Touya:


 * Ancestral Weapon: The mecha he gets to pilot turns out to be the very mecha his father piloted from his days as a Knight.
 * Cameo: In Super Robot Wars K, in the video arcade before mission 8.
 * Fiery Redhead: Subverted. Touya lacks the personality, especially early on.
 * Gainaxing Played with: since he's a guy, he obviously has no boobs to bounce, but his hair, however...
 * It's more of a Tenchi Solution.
 * Half-Human Hybrid: Half-Fury.
 * I Just Want to Be Normal: For a while.
 * Ordinary High School Student:
 * Parental Abandonment: Neither of his parents are alive.
 * Took a Level In Badass: In one of the penultimate levels, he talks down the resident Psycho For Hire while talking in a fashion befitting a knight...and backs them up to with actions (namely, ass-kicking. Turns out his mecha slowly feeds him his father's memory, including the lore of Knight in Shining Armor)
 * Took a Level In Badass: In one of the penultimate levels, he talks down the resident Psycho For Hire while talking in a fashion befitting a knight...and backs them up to with actions (namely, ass-kicking. Turns out his mecha slowly feeds him his father's memory, including the lore of Knight in Shining Armor)

Calvina Coulange
The other main character of Judgment, complete with a separate story. Calvina was once a genius Ace Pilot, but she ends up retiring and being called to a facility to tutor people there about mecha-riding. As fate would have it, the Fury wipes out the facility and all the data within, and she's the Sole Survivor; not even her boyfriend survives. Heartbroken, Calvina changes from a usually enthusiastic lady into a sad woman, sometimes putting up Wangst. She's later drafted again to the battleship Nadesico, again as a tutor/advisor, because she has nothing else to do, until during the voyage she meets up with 3 hot girls carrying a mecha (of your choice) and BEGGED HER to ride it and defend the ship. After much doubts, since she spent lots of years NOT piloting, she finally gets to kick some ass.

Though her days of ass-kicking is suddenly interrupted when the Fury shows up again. To her horror,

She can pilot all the mecha Touya can. What she lacks in bloodline inheritance bonuses, she makes it up with her sheer skill being an Ace Pilot in the past. Tropes about Calvina:


 * Ace Pilot / Badass Normal: She's not a Fury, but she manages to pilot a robot just fine without heritage bonuses.
 * Broken Bird
 * Chain of Command: She wears a red belt on her neck for no apparent reason, except maybe fashion.
 * Demoted to Extra: Compared to the harem girls, she tends to get shafted in supporting materials and fanworks.
 * Expy : The Sole Survivor of a group destroyed by the main enemy faction of the game. She's basicaly a modification of Selena Recital from Super Robot Wars Alpha 3
 * Gainaxing
 * Get a Hold of Yourself, Man!: Since Bright Noa is absent in Judgment, Melissa Mao delivers a Mao Slap in place of the legendary Bright Slap.
 * Heroic BSOD: After learning revelations about the Fury. Lasted a moment, then she booted into Unstoppable Rage.
 * Must Have Caffeine
 * Red Baron: Before retirement, she was known as the White Lynx.
 * Retired Badass
 * Roaring Rampage of Revenge: Lampshaded: her first theme is called Revenger.
 * Sole Survivor
 * The Stoic: For the most part, Calvina plays the role of a stoic millitary commander, always ready to take charge, but caring only about whether or not she's able accomplish her mission. That is, until...
 * Not So Stoic Once Al-Van makes his appearance and she learns that, she briefly abandons her stoic demeanor and goes positively apeshit in her attempt to shoot him down.
 * Tall, Dark and Bishoujo: Her hair's quite long, and she's quite tall...though her hair is white-ish gray.
 * Together in Death:
 * White-Haired Pretty Girl

Fury Girls Katia Grineal, Festenia Muse and Melua Melna Meia.
These 3 girls help the protagonist (either Touya or Calvina). They were experimented by the Fury, but managed to escape thanks to Touya's father, along with one Fury mecha (of your choice). Katia seems to be the leader, the calm and composed one (her assistance gives boost to hitting and dodging), while Festenia is the feisty one and often curses (boosts total damage output) and finally Melua is the shy, timid one, most prone to tears (gives defense skills). They help the heroes navigate through their mecha and ends up ultimately helping them win the day.

If the player is Touya, it's possible he ends up getting a relationship with one of them, but not an option for Calvina, because she's already devoted to her old boyfriend (so much for a Gay Option). Tropes associated with these girls, as well as the mechas they bring:


 * The Archer: Bellzelute's, and one of the Bellzelute Brigandi's finishers is a big green crystal arrow. How big? Big enough to impale a battleship.
 * Badass Cape: Super Robot Granteed generates one when pulling of its finisher.
 * Bifurcated Weapon: In order for the Real Robot Bellzelute's Orgone Rifle to pull off its finisher, the Shot Launchers have to combine with it.
 * Big Eater: Festenia.
 * BFG Bellzelute's Orgone Rifle and Bellzelute Brigandi's Orgone Launcher. Also, the Orgone Rifle Final on the Laftkranz.
 * BFS Granteed materializes one out of energy, found on the Granteed Dracodeus if Katia or Tenia is the lucky girl, Bellzelute Brigandi if Tenia is the chosen one. Also, the Orgone Sword Final on the Laftkranz.
 * Blade Below the Shoulder: Real Robot Coustwell takes this to the extreme by having a shin-mounted kick blade.
 * Chest Blaster: Granteed has this and a smaller beam that comes from a ring on its head, similar to Viral's Enkidu.
 * Good Old Fisticuffs: Granteed. You know you're dealing with a Super Robot when a punching combo deals more damage than the head-mounted beam cannon as well has having the best Critical Hit Ratio of all of it's attacks.
 * Also present on Coustwell, becomes Rapid Fire Fisticuffs with Coustwell Brachium, and taken Up to Eleven with 'Tenia's version of O Finish.
 * Crash Into Hello: In Touya's route the girls crash the OG mecha you picked into his school almost killing him.
 * Guns Akimbo: Bellzelute.
 * Mecha Expansion Pack: All of the mecha get add-ons that are used as weapons in their upgraded forms.
 * Color Coded for Your Convenience: Think of The Powerpuff Girls' color, but switch Blossom with Buttercup, and you have these.
 * Fan Nickname: The Powerpuff Girls, [[media:furygirls_ppg.jpg|for obvious reasons]].
 * Gainaxing
 * Leitmotif Each girl caters to a different combat attribute: power, range or defense. They also have a different final attack for the Mid-Season Upgrade when they're used often enough to unlock it.
 * Mid-Season Upgrade
 * Moe Moe: Technically all three, but Melua seems to be the main source of it.
 * Power Fist: The Coustwell variants solidify Orgone Energy to add extra punch to their melee attacks. Also, the Orgone Claw Final on the Laftkranz.
 * Power Trio
 * Rapid Fire Fisticuffs: Festinia's Special if she's the sub-pilot of the Coustwell Brachium. Combined With Hard Light
 * Actually, make that just Coustwell Brachium in general.
 * Rocket Punch: A variation found on the melee Coustwell and Coustwell Brachium. Not a "true" Rocket Punch, as the mecha condenses a crystalline fist out of energy and hurls it at the opponent.
 * Shrinking Violet: Melua.
 * Shoulders of Doom: The Coustwell Brachium gets a pair of these, which can detach and aid in attacking.
 * Sweet Tooth: Melua.
 * Swiss Army Weapon: Bellzelute's Orgone Rifle and Bellzelute Brigandi's Orgone Launcher.

FURY
The main enemy of Super Robot Wars Judgment. Said to be the ones who seeded life on Earth, and now they reside in the moon, watching over the Earth. With all the wars going on, you know what's going to happen. They also claim to be defeated by another force and fled to the far ends of the universe. Led by Gu-Landon Goetz and his Dragons Al-Van Lunks,, Fu-Lu-Mu-Lu and Jua-Mu Dalbi. Tropes associated with the Fury:


 * A God Am I: Somewhat: they terraformed and seeded life on Earth.
 * Apologetic Attacker: Al-Van
 * Ax Crazy: Psycho for Hire Jua-Mu after he gets promoted. See the main entry for an extra reason on Jua-Mu's behavior.
 * Black Knights
 * BFS: Orgone Sword.
 * Cold Sniper: Fu-Lu Mu-Lu, mostly.
 * Complete Monster: Gu Landon became delusional and in the end goes on like this. Jua-Mu, however, was a more subtle one, and cranks his monstrosity Up to Eleven once he becomes Ax Crazy.
 * Eleventh Hour Superpower:.
 * Epileptic Tree: The ones who defeated the Fury: could they by any chance be the Database, given the number of series coinciding with Super Robot Wars W?
 * Also, the mecha dragon use to upgrade Granteed is said to model after their dragon deity Basileus, the name later appear as last name of W05 in Endless Frontier Exceed. Fu-lu and Toya also invoke the phrase "dark path of Wodan" regarding afterlife. Make you wonder if Fury's god somehow relates to Sanger.
 * Evil Is Hammy: Gu Landon is really hammy, even for a SRW Big Bad.
 * Expy: Al-Van's often considered a Lunarian Sanger; Sanger's a Samurai, so naturally Al-Van's a Knight in Shining Armor.
 * In fact, Al-Van's version of Raftclans final attack is a combination of(in order of the animation) Zankantou Inazuma Juryoku Otoshi, Zankantou Shippu Dotou, and Zankantou Unyo no Tachi.
 * Gay Option:.
 * : Al-Van.
 * One-Winged Angel: Gu Landon transforms his Zui Gadin in the final scenario.
 * Clipped-Wing Angel: However, this transformation causes the Zui Gadin to lose its Orgone Cloud ability.
 * Politically-Incorrect Villain: If Calvina's the protagonist Jua-Mu and Gu-Landon will call her misogynist names.
 * Redemption Equals Death: In Touya's route,.
 * That's No Moon:.
 * Worthy Opponent Fu-Lu-Mu-Lu's and Al-Van's statements generally give you this feel and it's blatantly obvious the both of them don't hold harsh feelings for the player characters and most of the non-OG cast. Fu-Lu actually looks forward to engaging Domon Kasshu should you attack her with him in one of the stages.
