Bunny Ears Lawyer/Anime and Manga: Difference between revisions

* In ''[[Full Metal Panic!]]'', Mithril appears to employ a number of [[Bunny Ears Lawyer|Bunny Ears Lawyers]]. There's Kurz Weber, a skilled AS pilot, top-grade sniper, and a complete [[Lovable Sex Maniac]]... and Teletha Testarossa, a sixteen-year-old [[Dojikko]] with a bit of inferiority complex who's also a [[Teen Genius]], the captain and designer of the [[Cool Boat|Tuatha de Danaan]], and the others' commanding officer. Sousuke, meanwhile, is a consummate professional when he's in a military setting... and a hopeless [[Fish Out of Water]] with [[No Social Skills]] in any non-military situation.

** In the novels, Sousuke himself takes on elements of the trope even within the military setting. He uses part of Mithril's military maneuvering ground to house his giant pet tiger (whom he referred to as a cat in his report to Tessa, making her largely regret approving it), and along with Kurz ends up completely trashing multi-million dollar Arm Slaves on a pirate treasure hunt. These and other shenanigans - including the incident from ''Ending Day By Day'' which ''did'' make it into the anime at the end of ''The Second Raid,'' in which Sousuke outright demands that Mithril's high command reinstate him as Kaname's bodyguard - are tolerated because Sousuke is [[Ultimate Job Security|the only person who can operate the Arbalest and its Lambda Driver]], which are the only weapons Mithril has that can equal Amalgam's technology.

** He's either this or he's just [[Obfuscating Stupidity]]. Or he just love his wife and daughter to a [[Overprotective Dad|crazy extent]]. I mean, would ''you'' draw a gun on children for wanting to play with your daughter?

** In the manga most of Mustang's men are portrayed as excellent military men (Breda graduated at the top of his class) who just act goofy.
