Black Lagoon/Characters: Difference between revisions

== '''The Lagoon Company''' ==

=== Rock ===

[[File:rock_blacklagoon.jpg|frame]]

 

* [[The Cynic]]: What he has irrefutably become by the recent chapters. Whereas the old Rock would have been moved by Fabiola's lingering idealism towards a morally-gray-world where justice and decency ''can'' exist if you want it to, the double-whammy of failing to save Hansel/Gretel AND Yukio from Balalaika's clutches has knocked that hope ''clean'' out of him. The only response he had instead is now a cold, apathetic, Revy-like snarl.

* [[Distressed Dude]]: Revy gripes about how Rock gets captured all the time, leading to a funny moment when Yukio abducts him towards the end of the Yakuza arc.

* [[The Dulcinea Effect]]: Puts his ass on the line for Yukio, a girl he has only just met, and who {{spoiler|proceeds to try and kill him}}. He probably did it because she reminded him of himself, though.

* [[Establishing Character Moment]]: The first time that Rock shows that he's not the timid weaksauce salaryman he appears to be is when Revy goes into a spiel about how Rock probably couldn't even begin to match her in a drinking game, only for him to flip his shit, call her bluff, and proceed to match her shot-for-shot in Bacardi (the challenge is then interrupted by grenades). The second time is when he shows us how to kill an attack helicopter with an obsolete torpedo boat.

 

=== Revy ===

[[File:Revy_5139.png|frame]]

A nihilistic Chinese-American gunwoman and the Lagoon Company's primary muscle. Known as "Two Hand," after her preferred [[Guns Akimbo|style of shooting.]] Her first name is apparently "Rebecca", but nothing more is known of her past apart from the implication that it wasn't a happy one.

** In the final episode of season two, she hijacks a truck and just like the above example, Drove recklessly. Though it's [[Justified Trope|justified]] in this case.

* [[Even Evil Has Standards]]: In the Tokyo arc, she expresses her disgust at Chaka shooting his own men in the back.

* [[Eyes of Gold]]

* [[Fingerless Gloves]]

 

=== Benny ===

[[File:bennyblacklagoon2_7073.jpg|frame]]

 

* [[Blond Guys Are Evil]] <-> [[Hair of Gold]]: Swings between the two. He ''is'' a pirate and has no moral compunctions about it but he is among the least actively malevolent of the lot, seeing that even {{spoiler|his girlfriend}} is more active than him in that matter.

* [[The Cynic]]: Benny has no illusions whatsoever about the evils he ignores on a daily basis. He hasn't got Revy's materialistic nihilism, but he's about as cynical as Dutch.

* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: Loves to gibe at his pals.

* [[Green Eyes]]

=== Mr. Chang ===

 

 

[[File:mr_chang.jpg|frame]]

 

=== Shenhua ===

[[File:shenhua_blacklagoon.jpg|frame]]

A Taiwanese assassin in the employ of Mr. Chang. She prefers to use various edged weapons in close combat, in particular a pair of kukri knives linked together with a length of leather rope at the handles, thus using them as modified rope darts. She is also skilled in the use of throwing knives.

* [[I Am Not Left-Handed]]: Wears long stiletto heels on purpose to keep her edge in an environment where almost nobody knows martial arts. When she gets serious, they come off.

* [[I Sound Like a Retard In English|I Sound Like A Retard In Chinglish]]

* [[Kicking Ass in All Her Finery]]

* [[Knife Nut]]: She's as good with the knives as Revy is with the guns.

 

=== Eda ===

[[File:eda_blacklagoon.jpg|frame]]

An easy-going, sunglasses-wearing nun with the so-called [[Corrupt Church|Church Of Violence]]. Revy's confidante and only friend. {{spoiler|Also an undercover agent for the CIA.}}

* [[Badass]]

* [[Berserk Button]]: Anyone who puts a bullet in the church had better damn well be prepared to go to war. She doesn't appreciate apprentice priest Rico calling her "sis," either.

* [[Blue Eyes]]

* [[Bottle Fairy]]

* [[Bare Your Midriff]]: Late in ''El Baile de la Muerte'', she ditches her maid outfit for bike shorts, a sports bra, and an unzipped hoodie. Averted in the Roberta's Blood Trail OVA when the hoodie remained zipped.

* [[Celibate Hero|Celibate Heroine]]

* [[Complaining About Rescues They Don't Like]] {{spoiler|''Shoots'' Rock with a blank and cracks his rib at the end of "El Baile De La Muerte", despite his doing everything possible to help her and Garcia, even if he did have to manipulate them and gamble with their lives.}}

----

* [[Badass Driver]]:

* [[Bedlam House]]: According to Shenhua, he's currently in an asylum due to having taken so much coke that "he never came back from Mars".

* [[Don't Try This At Home]]: Remember kids, drugs are bad, and you should certainly never take them before driving.

 

=== Hansel and Gretel ===

[[File:Hansel_gretel_bl.jpg|frame]]

 

A pair of incestuous, prepubescent porn star assassins with shared multiple personality disorders. Creepy as Hell. {{spoiler|And just as horribly broken due to their horrendous common backstory.}}

* [[Hime Cut]]: Gretel.

* [[Hypocritical Humor]]: Hansel asks for help dragging a Russian mobster to their car.

* [[I Love the Dead]]: Though according to Gretel they have never tried it with an "Ivan" before. May have been [[Interplay of Sex and Violence|metaphorical]], however. ''We hope''.

* [[Interplay of Sex and Violence]]: They get really ''turned on'' at the thought of everybody coming to kill them.
