Revision as of 14:32, 8 January 2014


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

The Knight Sabers

Priscilla S. Asagiri (or Priss for short)

Sylia Stingray

Linna Yamazaki

  • The Big Guy: Quite skilled in close combat.
  • Michie Tomizawa
  • 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, 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
  • Razor Floss: Uses razor-sharp ribbons from her suit's helmet to cut through her enemies.
  • Spell My Name With an "S": though "L" is pronounced "R" in Japan, the anime had her English-letter name beginning with "L".

Nene Romanova

The Genom Corporation

Quincy

Brian J. Mason

Largo

Kate Madigan

Others

Leon McNichol

Daley Wong

Mackie Stingray

Reika Chang (Vision)
