Bubblegum Crisis/Characters: Difference between revisions

Note that the tropes listed here are based on the characters' depictions in the OVA series, not ''Bubblegum Crisis Tokyo 2040''.

 

 

* [[Badass Biker]]

* [[Cartwright Curse]]

* [[Slap Slap Kiss]]: with Leon

 

* [[Alliterative Name]]

* [[Awesome McCoolname]]

* [[Rich Idiot With No Day Job]]: Mild-mannered lingerie store owner by day, power-armored mercenary/vigilante by night.

* [[Tall, Dark and Bishoujo]]: Despite having [[Power Hair|short hair]].

* [[You Killed My Father]]: Thanks a lot, Brian J. Mason!

 

* [[The Big Guy]]: Quite skilled in close combat.

* [[Mr. Vice Guy|Ms. Vice Guy]]: Linna was the member most vocally concerned about how much money the Sabers made off of each mission, would cheerfully dump a boyfriend with low earning potential, and levelled up into a yuppie stockbroker in ''Crash''. Still, [[Jerk with a Heart of Gold|she would happily ignore money for more important things]] -- for instance, being happy that the [[Kill Sat]] controller was apparently destroyed in the second episode, even though that meant no pay for the mission, because it was payback for Genom killing Irene.

* [[Plucky Girl]]

* [[Spell My Name with an "S"]]: though "L" is pronounced "R" in Japan, the anime had her English-letter name beginning with "L".

 

* [[By-The-Book Cop]]: Civilian job is with the A.D. Police.

* [[Genki Girl]]

* [[The Smart Guy]]

* [[Weight Woe]]

 

 

* [[Big Bad]]

* [[Decoy Getaway]]

 

* [[Corrupt Corporate Executive]]

* [[The Dragon]]

* [[Shuichi Ikeda]]

 

* [[Dark Messiah]]

* [[Evil Laugh]]

* [[Hijacked by Ganon]]: {{spoiler|He's Brian J. Mason reborn.}}

* {{spoiler|[[Luke, I Am Your Father]]: His inhuman species could be the same as Sylia's}}.

* [[Manipulative Bastard]]

* [[White-Haired Pretty Boy]]

 

* [[The Dragon]]: Replaces Mason, if only for the sixth OVA.

* [[Hypercompetent Sidekick]]: She immediately figured out that "Milly Jackson" (Anri) was suspicious and through investigation learned she had access to top secret information. How did she know Anri was suspicious? ''She hadn't seen her before''.

* [[You Have Outlived Your Usefulness]]: Shoots the defense minister Largo kidnapped the minute he's handed back to Genom.

 

 

* [[Bishie Sparkle]]

* [[Casanova Wannabe]]

* [[Made of Iron]]

* [[Secret Secret Keeper]]: Becomes this in the sixth OVA, where it's revealed that he managed to see Priss' face during the fight in the last episode. This becomes awkward since this is the episode where Largo has a team of [[Evil Knockoff]] Sabers wreaking havoc.

* [[Well, Excuse Me, Princess!]]: The argument with Priss.

 

* [[Blue Oni]]: To Leon's red.

* [[Camp Gay]]: Not full-on '''CAMP''', but definitely fabulous. (Daley's ''2040'' incarnation is more [[Invisible to Gaydar]].)

* [[Pet Homosexual]]

 

* [[Cool Loser]]

* [[Geek]]

* [[Handsome Lech]]: Slightly subverted since he isn't as nice about it as other people on the list. He peeks at his own sister for goodness sake. Nevertheless he does fit this trope more as it hints he might have genuine feelings for Nene.

* [[Real Men Wear Pink]]: If the Knight Sabers were a [[Five-Man Band]], then the only GUY in the group would be [[The Chick]].

* [[Teen Genius]]

 

* [[Battle Butler]]: Kou

* {{spoiler|[[Dead Little Sister]]: Irene}}, from OAV 2, ''Born to Kill''.

* [[Mafia Princess|Triad Princess]]

* [[What Could Have Been]]: Reika was supposed to be Priss's replacement, after the latter was originally going to be killed off at the end of OAV 6. Her song, "Say Yes!", alludes to Priss's supposed death.
