Mobile Suit Gundam 00/Characters/Gundam Meisters: Difference between revisions

* [[Byronic Hero|Byronic Heroes]]

* [[Character Development]]

* [[Estrogen Brigade Bait]]: Let's see...

** Lockon is a [[Badass]] [[Nice Guy]] and [[Even the Guys Want Him]].

** Allelujah is a [[Tall, Dark and Handsome]] [[The Quiet One|quiet guy]]. His [[Split Personality]], Hallelujah, is a [[Tall, Dark and Snarky]] [[Ax Crazy]] [[Blood Knight]] and the meisters' [[Evil Is Cool|cool]] ''and'' [[Evil Is Sexy|sexy]] [[Crazy Awesome]] [[Token Evil Teammate]].

* [[Female Gaze]]: The second ED animation, which featured Setsuna and Allelujah in [[Shirtless Scene|Shirtless Scenes]], a close-up shot of Lockon's crotch and a sort-off [[Wet Sari Scene]] involving Tieria.

* [[Five-Man Band]]: In the second season.

** [[Sixth Ranger|Sixth Rangers]]: {{spoiler|Soma Peries and Saji Crossroad}}

* [[Four Is Death]]

* [[Nakama]]

* [[Shoulders of Doom]]: All of their Gundams have something attached to their respective shoulders.

* {{spoiler|[[Eleventh-Hour Superpower]]: The Trans-Am Burst which dramatically expands the range of the various abilities of his Gundam in Transam Mode. And, for that matter, Transam itself played something of a similar role in season 1.}}

* {{spoiler|[[Evolutionary Levels]]: He became an innovator in the end, as a result of using the 00 Raiser.}}

* [[Fan Nickname]]: [[Child Soldiers|Jihad-kun]], [[Metal Gear|Solid Setsuna]], [[Death Note|Kira and Set-Light or Setsulight.]] For the last three, look down..

* [[Fan Service Pack]]: He was visibly short in season 1. But by season 2, he was able to [[She's All Grown Up|catch up]] and becomes [[Tall, Dark and Handsome]].

* [[Hot-Blooded]]: He has his moments.

* [[Ho Yay]]: With {{spoiler|both}} Lockon, Tieria, Saji and some [[Foe Yay]] with Graham and Ali.

* [[I Like Swords]]: Obviously because [[Heroes Prefer Swords]]. Let's see what he has...

** [[Absurdly Sharp Blade]]

** In the manga adaptation of the movie {{spoiler|[[Platonic Life Partners|he marries Marina]]. He even used his ELS abilities to restore Marina's youth and eyesight.}}

** The movie on the other hand leaves it ambiguous.

* [[The Messiah]]: {{spoiler|Being the first genuine Innovator, he fits. Not to mention his [[Prophetic Name|Prophetic]] [[Code Name]].}}

* [[Messianic Archetype]]

** If that is not enough, {{spoiler|Just watch episode 24 where his mobile suit enable global telepathy, break the mind control powers of certain innovators, and reverse the form of radiation poisoning that had been slowly killing a couple characters. Mind, we already knew it could do all of these; just not on that scale.}}

* [[Scarf of Asskicking]]: Inverted. He wears one only in his civilian outfit, so he does most of his asskicking when he's ''not'' wearing it.

* [[Self-Made Orphan]]

* [[Sensitive Guy and Manly Man]]: Saji and him are like this in season 2.

* [[Shout-Out]]: His entire characterization has many references to [[Square Enix]] games, namely;

** [[Kingdom Hearts]]: For his [[Relationship Voice Actor]] with Saji.

** [[Final Fantasy VIII]]: First for his rivalry with Graham that mirrors that of Squall Leonheart and Seifer Almassy's. Second with his Gundams using GN blades (GN is sometimes pronounced as "gun" in this series, you get the idea). Third with {{spoiler|the 00 Raiser's Trans-Am Raiser being identical to Squall's Blasting Zone [[Limit Break]]}}.

** His personality is also similar to typical [[Final Fantasy]] main leads, especially [[Final Fantasy VII|Cloud]] and [[Final Fantasy VIII|Squall]].

* [[The Stoic]]

** [[Not So Stoic]] {{spoiler|'''"[[Say My Name|LOCKOOOOOOOOONNNNNNN!!!!!]]"'''}}

* [[Thousand-Yard Stare]]

* [[Tyke Bomb]]

* [[Badass]]

* [[Badass Normal]]: Lockon's teammates are two [[Tyke Bomb|Tyke Bombs]] (a [[Child Soldiers|Child]] and a [[Super Soldier]] to be specific) {{spoiler|and an [[Artificial Human]]}}. He always manages to hold his own.

* [[Catch Phrase]]: "Targeted and firing!"

* [[Dead Little Sister]]: {{spoiler|Her name's Amy. Although Neil keeps his rage and angst to a minimum, it's still there. He subverts the standard of becoming an [[Anti-Hero]], and instead fills the gaps with Celestial Being's members. Lyle, on the other-hand, moved on with his life after the incident.}}

* [[Meaningful Name|Meaningful]] [[Code Name]]: In reference to their aiming and firearms expertise.

* [[Not So Different]]: Despite {{spoiler|Lyle}}'s claim that he is not like {{spoiler|his brother Neil}}, his time spent with Celestial Being had some instances that parallels him to {{spoiler|his twin brother}}.

** {{spoiler|Double-Subverted thanks to loss of Lyle's girlfriend Anew. His bullet will ''very'' likely either go through Setsuna or an Innovator.}}

*** {{spoiler|As of episode 24, his bullet went through ''Ali''.}} And the trope was ''triple-subverted'' because {{spoiler|Lyle did NOT kill Ali to avenge his twin brother. He ''did'' try to give Ali a [[Last Second Chance]], the other refused, and then BANG. ''Wow''.}}

* {{spoiler|[[Sensitive Guy and Manly Man]]: It should be noted that the twins are ''both'' Sensitive and Manly men, depending on the situation they are in.}}

* {{spoiler|[[Separated at Birth]]: Heavily subverted, as both Neil and Lyle decided to stay out from each other's life. It is sad.}}

* {{spoiler|[[Sibling Yin-Yang]]: So much that their names tell it; [[Theme Twin Naming|Neil means cloud, while Lyle means Island]].}}

* [[Take Up My Sword]]

* [[Talking to Himself]]: With [[Dai-Guard|Keiichiro Aoyama]] in [[Super Robot Wars Z]] 2.

 

With Neil:

 

* [[The Ace]]: Arguably fits the role of [[The Hero]] better than Setsuna, shown to be very respected by the rest of CB, and a [[Badass Normal]] to boot.

* [[Always Someone Better]]: {{spoiler|He is this to Lyle. [[Tear Jerker|Isn't It Sad]]?}}

* [[Berserk Button]]: Terrorism. [[Moral Dissonance|He is aware of the irony.]]

** {{spoiler|[[He's Just Hiding]]: Come back, Neil... come back...}}

* [[Knight in Sour Armor]]: {{spoiler|His [[Famous Last Words]] blatantly reflect it.}}

* {{spoiler|[[My Life Flashed Before My Eyes]]}}

* [[Nice Guy]]

* [[Attack Drone|Attack Drones]]: The Cherudim's shield bits.

* {{spoiler|[[Backup Twin]]: [[Deconstructed Trope|Deconstructed]] as Lyle goes way out of his way to ensure that those around him don't try to compare him to Neil. [[Reconstructed Trope|Things worked out well, fortunately]].}}

* {{spoiler|[[Code Name]]: [[Double Agent|Lockon Stratos for Celestial Being. Gene-1 for Kataron]].}}

* {{spoiler|[[Double Agent]]: For Kataron; subverted in that his CB comrades know he's a double agent and don't care.}}

** {{spoiler|[[Becoming the Mask]]: At the finale, he finally embraces his identity as a Gundam Meister and left Kataron.}}

* [[The Lancer]]

* [[Let's Get Dangerous]]: He's quite a daredevil really.

* [[Middle Child Syndrome]]: He fits this well{{spoiler|, considering that Neil was the older twin and they had a [[Dead Little Sister]].}}

* {{spoiler|[[My Sibling Will Live Through Me]]: Subverted, big time.}}

* [[Suspiciously Similar Substitute]] {{spoiler|More like [[Double Agent]] [[Backup Twin]], [[Becoming the Mask|but he got better]].}}

* [[Swiss Army Weapon]]: The Cherudim's dual handguns have a built in [[An Axe to Grind|axe for short-range combat]].

* [[The Unfavorite]]: One that doesn't even need a family to be it. {{spoiler|He's finally accepted by the CB people in episode 13 of season 2. Almost got subverted after Setsuna [[Shoot the Dog|killed his brainwashed girlfriend Anew]] to save him, but he ''did'' calm down.}}

* {{spoiler|[[Walking the Earth]]: He, Setsuna, and the rest of CB at the end of the series. And it also involves space travel.}}

The third of the Gundam Meisters, pilot of Gundam Kyrios, and later Arios. Allelujah is a product of a [[Super Soldier]] program, but a failed one. He has another personality named "[[Super-Powered Evil Side|Hallelujah]]". While Allelujah is calm and amiable, Hallelujah is a sociopathic person who laughs in the face of deaths... of many of his enemies. In the events of the series, however, Allelujah lost Hallelujah and was forced to continue on his own. {{spoiler|[[He's Back]]...}}

* {{spoiler|[[I Am Not Left-Handed|I Am Not Left Eyed]]: Allelujah/Hallelujah can, in fact, become [[Split Personality Merge|both of them]] at once the moment he pushes his hair back, so that it won't conceal any eye. When he does, much ass is kicked.}}

* [[I'm a Humanitarian]]: Implied, but he wouldn't be above it. When stranded in space as a child and running out of food and oxygen, Hallelujah shoots his friends, [[Unfortunate Implications|blood dripping down his face and front]].

* [[Token Evil Teammate]]: Hallelujah ''once again''.

* {{spoiler|[[All Love Is Unrequited]]: The fact that Tieria had strong feelings for the first Lockon has been pretty much accepted by fandom, though the ''exact'' nature and extent are heavily debated.

* [[Armor-Piercing Slap]]: If he's not the one pimp-slapping people, he is the one ''getting'' slapped.

* {{spoiler|[[Messianic Archetype]]: [[What Do You Mean Its Not Symbolic|He got himself physically killed]] to save his friends and humanity from Fucking Ribbons by merging with Veda, and then he had his Seraphim Gundam use the Trial system to eliminate Ribbons' minions by emitting a [[Creepy Cool Crosses|red cross]] while it's in a [[Crucified Hero Shot]].}}

* [[Multi-Armed and Dangerous]]: Seravee has four [[BFG|BFGs]], two on its shoulders and two in its knees. These all are capable of sprouting hands equipped with beam sabers in addition to the Seravee's normal pair, allowing Seravee to simultaneously fight with ''six beam sabers'' at one time.
