'''''[[Ōban Star-Racers]]''''' (2006) is an [[Animesque]] racing series created by Savin Yeatman-Eiffel, co-produced by French and Japanese animation studios.
Every 10,000 years, teams from all over the universe are gathered by the mysterious Avatar to compete in the Great Race of Oban, a race with much more at stake than just honor or prize money. According to legend, the winner is awarded the Ultimate Prize, which is rumored to grant ''any'' wish, from large-scale destruction to, perhaps, the resurrection of a loved one. Some want it for glory, others as a way of universal domination. However, the true nature of the Prize is shrouded in mystery, and things are not what they appear to be...
Line 26:
* [[Anti-Villain]]: Ning and Skun, after it's revealed that they want the ultimate prize to reunite their people. The same can be said for practically any of the opposing pilots in the Oban cycle except for Lord Furter, Sul, and Kross.
** Hell, the worst you could call Sul is a [[Jerkass]]. [[Good Is Not Nice|He isnt actually evil]], he has simply done everything-except win the Ultimate Prize, that is-and wants to win just for the sake of doing it. He's actually a fairly nice for someone who's almost god.
* [[Apotheosis]]: {{spoiler|The prize of the Great Race is becoming the Avatar, a god-like being whose duty is to be the guardian of the galaxy for 10,000 years, though they are limited}}.
* [[The Archer]]: Aikka's magic arrows are his greatest weapon during races.
* [[Arrogant Kung Fu Guy]]: Ceres constantly hurls verbal abuse at his opponents and likes to reiterate his superiority by playing his flute to make them hallucinate and probably crash. Grooor plays it similarly, focusing on humiliating his opponent and disabling their star racer. He confronts Molly after his loss with the serious intention to ''kill her''.
