Just a Kid: Difference between revisions

Line 41:

** Of course, he 'just a woman'ed her.

* ''[[Mobile Suit Victory Gundam|Victory Gundam]]''. Usso gets this a lot, given that he's only 13. He's [[Genre Savvy]] enough to use this to his advantage several times, because he knows people will underestimate him, or hesitate to harm a kid in battle. Of course, some of his opponents get [[Genre Savvy]] right back and treat him as as much of a threat as any adult soldier.

* Sagara Sôsuke from ''[[Full Metal Panic]]'' gets this from time to time. Especially noticeable in the arc where he had to cooperate with other soldiers to assassinate Gauron. None of them (except Gray) were willing to listen to his advice or input, because they were so insulted that Mithril would send a "kid" to help. They were proven wrong within an episode, and it ended ''very'' badly for them because of it.

** Plus they were really shocked when they found out that Sôsuke was an Afghan guerrilla when he was eight. Prior to that, he supposedly was a highly trained KGB assassin. Now he's 16 and the only man at Mithril who can use the Lambda Driver.

** Talking about the Lambda Driver, episode 12 shows what happens if you think of Takuma as a harmless kid. Hint: it involves a 50-meter-tall mecha and Tokyo.
