Full Metal Panic!: Difference between revisions

Unbeknownst even to herself, Kaname possesses special knowledge that numerous organizations would like dearly to control for their own means. As such, Sōsuke is assigned to infiltrate her high school in order to protect her while pretending to be an ordinary student, and without her knowing that she's in danger. Sōsuke, unfortunately, has no social experience outside his military life, having been literally raised as a soldier, and thus has no idea how to properly act in civilian life.

* [[Batman Gambit]]: Gauron pulls one off at the end of the first season. {{spoiler|He attacks a chemical weapons dump, knowing Mithril will come to stop him; when they do, he surrenders, claiming his AS overheated. He and his AS are taken into custody on board the Tuatha de Danaan - which turns out to have been his objective all along so that he can take over the ship, although he's foiled in this by the main cast (and also fails to [[Taking You with Me|die taking Sousuke with him by self-destructing his mech]], which was his backup objective).}}

* [[Beach Episode]]

* [[Become a Real Boy]]: This happens to Al, Sousuke's support AI. Through out the series, Al develops human-like traits like making jokes, using sarcasm, annoying Sousuke by playing BGM during battles, and making decisions based on "gut feeling" rather than calculations. This cumulates in the penultimate chapter of the series right before Merida Island was hit by a nuclear strike, Al asks Sousuke "I want to try something, but first I want to ask. Am I human, or machine?" and Sousuke responds with "...decide it for yourself. People... do that." This in turn saves both Sousuke and Al by allowing Al to activate the lambda driver on his own without a human catalyst.

* [[Bedmate Reveal]]: Tessa likes to sneak into Sousuke's bed during Fumoffu, to the point where Mao handcuffs her to prevent it.

* [[For Massive Damage]]: The Behemoth's lambda driver is located in its ass, and when sousuke destroys it the [[Square-Cube Law|machine tore itself apart under its own weight]]

** It was not the lambda driver in the mecha's ass, but the cooling system. Lambda driver is actually who-knows-where and looks like internals of a washing machine.

* [[Genius Ditz]]: Tessa

* [[Genre Savvy]] / [[Wrong Genre Savvy]]: Kaname, ''especially'' in the books, watches entirely too many action movies for her own good. Sometimes it's beneficial, usually it's not ("Please! I know captains are tough old bastards like Sean Connery. [[Bridge Bunny|You're one of those people who read telegrams or something]].")

* [[Hot Springs Episode]]: In "Fumoffu," complete with the antics of Kurz Weber, {{spoiler|where he desperately attempts to peep within the girl's bathhouses.}} Although his plans are foiled each time by Sōsuke.

* [[Ho Yay]]: Gauron towards Sōsuke. Overlaps with [[Foe Yay]].

* [[Humongous Mecha]]: With hair! (The hair's used for cooling)

* [[Hyperspace Arsenal]]: Sōsuke's -- mostly in ''Fumoffu'', but it pops up briefly in ''The Second Raid'' as well.

* [[Psycho for Hire]]: Gauron, and Gates in the <s>second</s> third season.

* [[Psychopathic Manchild]]: Gates

* [[The Quiet One]]: Sōsuke

* [[Raised by Dudes]]: Sousuke

** Well, it's not like Sousuke doesn't deserve it anyway.

** It is entirely possible that being a tsundere is not a natural part of her personality. Sousuke is an extremely frustrating person, after all.

* [[Twice Shy]]: Sousuke and Kaname's relationship. Which is also the reason why they haven't even kissed in the entire series (yes, even in the 10 novels thusfar). The most intimate they've gotten has been holding hands.

* [[Twincest]]: Yu Fan and Yu Lan

* [[Young Entrepreneur]]: Sōsuke tries to patent and sell his Bonta-Kun combat suit entirely for the technological advantage it provides, without realizing its outward appearance was preventing sales. He actually succeeded in selling a few of them to the FBI, the Miami police and a local Yakuza gang.

** The fact that Sousuke had enough money and contacts to do that implies that he's probably been moonlighting in the weapons business for a while.
