Gasaraki: Difference between revisions

* [[Impossibly Graceful Giant]]

* [[Improbable Age]] (Yushiro is 16; justified in that he is still a civilian, and that the TA squadron he's assigned to wasn't meant to serve in combat at all. This is also lampshaded during episode 6, when Yushiro disappears:

'''Mirai''': Um...actually i've been [[Bifauxnen|mistaken for one]]...a few times... }}

* [[Intrepid Reporter]]: Deconstructed, said reporter is a no name balding overweight middleaged war correspondent, and his reasons for following the TA platoon in Belgistan (after coming across them on a lucky break) are less than noble, (hoping that his report will get him an Emmy), he and his cameraman then get unceremoniously executed by their own guide, who seemed to do it [[For the Evulz|For Teh Lulz]]

* [[Mad Scientist]]: Subverted in Kiyotsugu Gowa's case; he appears to be amoral at first, but does have lines he will not cross over, to the point that he {{spoiler|intentionally avoids telling his brother Kazukiyo that Misuzu is a kai because "there's no telling what he might do." He's also horrified when Kiyoharu tells him instead.}}

** Mr Yonetani plays this straighter, injecting pilots with the [[Psycho Serum|Eyeglobulum]] even though he knew of the risks, because Kiyotsugu was unprepared to do the same. He even tries to justify it when one of the pilots lapses into a coma.

* [[Man Behind the Man]]: {{spoiler|Phantom}}.

* [[A Mech by Any Other Name]]: "Tactical armor," abbreviated to "TA" (Gowa) and "Metal Fake" or just "Fake" (Symbol).
