Eureka Seven/Characters: Difference between revisions

{{work}}

''[[Eureka Seven]]'' has an absolutely [[Loads and Loads of Characters|whopping cast]], so it only stands to reason that they all get a close looking at.

 

 

{{quote|Voiced by: [[Yuko Sanpei]] (JP), [[Johnny Yong Bosch]] (EN)}}

* [[Adorkable]]

* [[Ascended Fanboy]]

 

{{quote|Voiced by: [[Kaori Nazuka]] (JP), [[Stephanie Sheh]] (EN)}}

* [[Action Mom]]: Though her children are clearly adopted.

* [[The Ageless]]: Her physical age never changes, as shown in flashbacks set nearly a decade earlier.

* [[Emotionless Girl]]: Prior to [[Character Development]].

* [[Exotic Eye Designs]]: Eureka has a circle parallel to the iris.

* [[Hair Reboot]]: She spends a significant portion of the series with her hair as the short, jagged mess left behind after her close call with {{spoiler|being encased in scub}}, but it grows back instantly when she speaks with Sakuya.

* [[Heroic BSOD]]: In the manga, when Renton, in his own [[Heroic BSOD]], told her to leave him alone when she tried giving him some fruits to cheer him up.

* {{spoiler|[[Robot Girl]]:}} {{spoiler|Movie!Eureka}}

* [[Tsundere]]: Movie!Eureka leans slightly more towards this.

* [[Weakened by the Light]]: Movie!Eureka

* {{spoiler|[[Winged Humanoid]]: After her "big change" in the last few episodes}}

 

{{quote|Voiced by: [[Michiko Neya]] (JP), [[Kate Higgins]] (EN)}}

* [[Bare Your Midriff]]

* [[Cool Big Sis]]

* [[Important Haircut]]

* [[Lethal Chef]]: She tried to cook in the manga and ruined the kitchen so badly she made cup ramen instead.

* [[Stripperiffic]]

* [[Tsundere]]: Towards Holland.

* {{spoiler|[[Younger Than She Looks]]:}} {{spoiler|Like the rest of movie!Gekkostate, movie!Talho is only 17, due to experiments causing her to age rapidly.}}

 

=== Holland {{spoiler|Novak}} ===

 

{{quote|Voiced by: [[Keiji Fujiwara]] (JP), [[Crispin Freeman]] (EN)}}

* [[Aloof Big Brother]]: Acts as this towards Renton

* {{spoiler|[[Anti-Villain]]:}} {{spoiler|In [[The Movie]], along with the rest of movie!Gekkostate. They're trying to find a way to save themselves from their rapid aging, and they're willing to use anyone to achieve that goal and stomp on anyone who gets in their way.}}

* [[Character Development]]: He goes fromm a [[Jerkass]] [[Man Child]] to a {{spoiler|mature, father-like figure to Renton.}}

* [[Domestic Abuse]]: Slap the ignorant hero around, Holland! Such a great way to win his loyalty and impress your crew!

* [[A Father to His Men]]: Takes a while, but he grows into this over the course of the series.

* [[Good Is Not Nice]]

* [[Jerk with a Heart of Gold]]: At his better moments.

* [[Man Child]]: Immature in the way he deals with his anger.

* [[Sergeant Rock]]: Sure, Holland might be a MAJOR asshole at times, but he's respected and even liked by the Gekkostate crew because he's competent, wouldn't have them do something he wouldn't do himself, and despite his outward [[Jerkass]], is rather concerned for their welfare.

* [[Screaming Warrior]]

 

{{quote|Voiced by: [[Yasunori Matsumoto]] (JP), Doug Stone (EN)}}

* [[Actual Pacifist]]: Only takes photographs, never fights.

* [[Contemplate Our Navels]]: When he talks about Coralians.

Maeter is voiced by: Eriko Kigawa (JP), Peggy O'Neil (EN)

Linck is voiced by: [[Fumie Mizusawa]] (JP), [[Kate Higgins]] (EN) }}

* [[Bratty Half-Pint]]

* [[Morality Pet]]: To Eureka.

* [[My New Gift Is Lame]]: Eureka tends to get them text books as presents (usually ones that are too advanced for them). She does thought thought into it, she just has no idea what they might like. And they need an education, after all.

* [[Named After Somebody Famous]]: The kids are named after Nobel Prize-winning Belgian writer [[wikipedia:Maurice Maeterlinck|Maurice Maeterlinck]].

* [[Spoiled Brat]]: Being inexperienced as a mother, Eureka has a tendency to spoil them.

 

 

{{quote|Voiced by: Akio Nakamura (JP), [[Kirk Thornton]] (EN)}}

* [[Big Brother Mentor]]

* [[Black Best Friend]]

 

{{quote|Voiced by: [[Mayumi Asano]] (JP), [[Megan Hollingshead]] (EN)}}

* [[Bare Your Midriff]]

* [[Cool Big Sis]]: Though Talho gets the lion's share of this.

 

{{quote|Voiced by: Tamio Ohki (JP), [[Bob Papenbrook]] (EN, episodes 1-28), [[Kyle Hebert]] (EN, episodes 29-50)}}

* [[Badass Mustache]]

* [[The Other Darrin]]: In the English dub, [[Bob Papenbrook]] [[Author Existence Failure|died before recording all his lines]] and was replaced by [[Kyle Hebert]].

 

{{quote|Voiced by: [[Yoko Soumi]] (JP), [[Mary Elizabeth McGlynn]] (EN)}}

* [[Grandma, What Massive Hotness You Have!]] {{spoiler|Haha! not really. Depends on who you ask.}}

* [[The Smart Guy]]: Being the token scientist of the group tends to do this.

 

{{quote|Voiced by: Takkou Ishimori (JP), [[Tony Oliver]] (EN)}}

* [[God Was My Co-Pilot]]: The ending reveals {{spoiler|Gonzy is a Coralian}}.

* [[Stealth Hi Bye]]: He can appear behind someone - set down his carpet and all - in seconds. Possibly justified by the above trope.

* [[The Watcher]]

{{quote|Jobs is voiced by: Kazayuki Shimura (JP), Dave Mallow (EN)

Woz is voiced by: Yuuichi Nagashima (JP), [[Dave Wittenberg]] (EN) }}

* [[Ambiguously Gay]]: Jobs is discussed as such in the episode commentaries.

* [[Machine Monotone]]

 

{{quote|Voiced by: Taro Yamaguchi (JP), [[Tony Oliver]] (EN)}}

* [[Eyes Always Shut]]

* [[Good Scars, Evil Scars]]: Has a barely noticeable scar that divides his left eyebrow.

 

{{quote|Voiced by: [[Fumie Mizusaka]] (JP), Jessica Straus (EN)}}

* [[Bare Your Midriff]]

* [[Cool Big Sister]]: Though even less so than Gilda.

 

{{quote|Voiced by: [[Mamoru Miyano]] (JP), [[Steve Staley]] (EN)}}

* [[Big Brother Mentor]]: Reluctantly towards Renton.

* [[Butt Monkey]]: In an unusual take on the trope, he was the ship's official [[Butt Monkey]] before Renton arrived, and actually resents Renton from taking the position from him.

** Of course, as Renton [[Character Development|grows as a character]], Moondoogie reclaims his role as the Butt Monkey.

* [[Meaningful Name]]: According to one of the definitions given by Urban Dictionary, a moondoggie is 1960s slang for a habitual marijuana user. Almost certainly deliberate given the series' large amounts of references to 60s counterculture (and the presence of a character named ''Stoner'').

* [[Only Known by Their Nickname]]: According to his license, his name is actually James Darren Emerson. Nobody ever calls him this.

* [[Took a Level in Badass]]: Eventually {{spoiler|becomes the pilot of the Gekko.}}

 

== United Federation Force ==

 

{{quote|Voiced by: Shigenori Yamakazi (JP), Peter Doyle (EN)}}

* [[Anti-Villain]]: He takes orders from his superiors seriously, but considers himself [[Friendly Enemy|a friend of Renton]] despite being on the opposite side.

* [[Badass]]: You don't realize it until you see him twist the arms of thugs twice his size without any visible effort, as well as his ability to shoulder Anemone's improbably heavy Gulliver without extreme strain. There's also the stuff he does while saving Anemone in the manga, like shrugging off ''laser burns''.

 

{{quote|Voiced by: [[Kouji Tsujitani]] (JP), Kim Strauss (EN)}}

* {{spoiler|[[Aloof Big Brother]]: To Holland}}

* [[Ambition Is Evil]]

 

{{quote|Voiced by: [[Ami Koshimizu]] (JP), [[Kari Wahlgren]] (EN)}}

* [[Ace Pilot]]: She's a great pilot who prefers ambush her opponents and rain blow after blow upon them. However, {{spoiler|she's only that way because she uses a [[Psycho Serum]] before she pilots.}}

* [[Alpha Bitch]]: Acts this way toward Dominic often, but [[Tsundere|it's probably so that she won't have to acknowledge her feelings for him.]]

* [[Evil Laugh]]: When she fights.

* [[Exotic Eye Designs]]: Her eyes each have a single straight line etched across them.

* [[Fake Ultimate Hero]]: Dewey dressed her up as one in later arcs.

* [[Freudian Excuse]]

 

{{quote|Voiced by: Tetsuo Komura (JP), [[Michael McConnohie]] (EN)}}

* [[Anti-Villain]]

* [[Big Brother Mentor]]: Mild version to Dominic.

 

In the second game, he, Ruri, and Moondoggie fight against the Azure group and corrupted members of the military, including some of Sumner's old friends, to prevent mass destruction.

* [[The Cameo]]: Sumner and Ruri make a brief appearance in the anime.

 

 

{{quote|Voiced by: [[Takeshi Aono]] (JP), Steve Kramer (EN)}}

* [[Badass Grandpa]]

* [[Cool Old Guy]]

{{quote|Charles is voiced by: [[Jurota Kosugi]] (JP), [[Patrick Seitz]] (EN)

Ray is voiced by: [[Aya Hisakawa]] (JP), [[Melissa Fahn]] (EN) }}

* [[Battle Couple]]

* [[Changeling Fantasy]]: They seem to provide an interesting take on this {{spoiler|when they adopt Renton}}

{{Quote|'''Ray:''' [[You Are Too Late|It's far too late.]] For everything!! Renton? Eureka, the one you're there to protect; [[Misplaced Retribution|took every happy future away from your mama.]] [[Omnicidal Maniac|Now it's time to take everything away]] [[Suddenly Shouting|FROM YOUR FUTURE EUREKA!!!]] Renton, [[What Does He See in Her|you have been possessed by a horrible and dangerous monster]]. [[Dissonant Serenity|But it's alright]]. [[Mercy Kill|Mama will save you.]] [[Taking You with Me|And we'll all go together]] [[Afterlife Express|where CHARLES IS WAITING FOR US!!!]]}}

* [[Villainous Breakdown]]: Ray ''loses'' it when {{spoiler|Charles dies}}. It's heart-rending to see the aftermath of her utterly trashing the ''Swan'' in her grief. It gets worse when Renton states he'll fight her to stop her, in an effort to talk her down.

 

=== Master Norb ===

 

{{quote|Voiced by: [[Rikiya Koyama]] (JP), [[Jun Fukuyama]] (JP, young), [[Jamieson Price]] (EN) [[Sam Riegel]] (EN, young)}}

* {{spoiler|[[Ascend to a Higher Plane of Existence]]}}

* [[Broken Pedestal]]: For a venerated holy man, he sure as hell breaks the mold like you wouldn't believe.
