Mobile Suit Gundam Wing/Characters: Difference between revisions

Line 37:

* [[I'll Kill You!]]: Don't take it seriously, it's just how Heero says "Hello."

* [[Implausible Fencing Powers]]

⚫

* [[Indy Ploy]]: Heero isn't big on forward planning, but he can improvise like nobody's business.

* [[Ineffectual Death Threats]]: Heero is pretty much the poster boy for this trope.

** One school of fan thought is that he's not threatening people to scare them, but to reassure himself that he ''can'' kill them, since he only ever says it towards people he's attached to.

⚫

* [[Indy Ploy]]: Heero isn't big on forward planning, but he can improvise like nobody's business.

* [[Intergenerational Friendship]]: With a little girl and her puppy. {{spoiler|It ended ''[[Tear Jerker|tragically]]'' sad to say..}}

** He gets a second chance of sorts with {{spoiler|Duo Maxwell Jr.}} in ''Frozen Teardrop''.

Line 82:

* [[Anti-Hero]]: Type II

⚫

* [[Badass Long Hair]]

⚫

* [[Badass Nickname]] "THE GOD OF DEATH IS BACK FROM HELL!!!"

* {{spoiler|[[Badass Preacher]]}}: Becomes this in ''Frozen Teardrop.'' {{spoiler|A subversion, actually: he's more of a [[Bounty Hunter]] and [[Hitman with a Heart]] who poses as a "preacher".}}

⚫

** [[Badass Long Hair]]

⚫

** [[Badass Nickname]] "THE GOD OF DEATH IS BACK FROM HELL!!!"

* [[Big No]]: In the dubbed version, after watching Deathscythe being destroyed by OZ, and it's broadcasted live. [[Scott McNeil]] is still asked to replicate the scream at conventions.

* [[Blue Eyes]]: Cobalt blue, actually.

Line 98:

* [[Mythology Gag]]: the end of ''Endless Waltz's'' manga adaptation has him wearing a baseball cap with the lines "Gundam 20th Anniversary".

* [[Numerical Theme Naming]]: From the Latin ''duo'', meaning "two".

⚫

* {{spoiler|[[Parents as People]]: Aknowledges that he hasn't been the best father to Duo Jr.}}

* [[Orphanage of Love]]: In ''Episode Zero'', he lives in Maxwell Church. It was [[Perpetual Poverty|rather run down]], but Father Maxwell and Sister Helen were lovely people. {{spoiler|Too bad they're all killed off in a bomb attack.}}

⚫

* {{spoiler|[[Parents as People]]: Aknowledges that he hasn't been the best father to Duo Jr.}}

* [[Rapunzel Hair]]: Not as notorious as Dorothy's, but still present through his waist-length braid. Lampshaded when Sister Helen wants to give him an [[Important Haircut]] since long hair like that "is unhygienic."

* [[Red Baron]]: "[[Shinigami|The God of Death]]" (or [[Never Say "Die"|"The Great Destroyer"]]).

Line 139:

* {{spoiler|[[Laser-Guided Amnesia]]: survives the incident with Quatre, but is amnesiac for a long while.}}

* [[Leitmotif]]: "In the Returned Scent of Blood and Gunpowder", which has a more somber remix called "That Clown Doesn't Need Makeup for Tears".

⚫

* [[More Dakka]]: The basic idea behind his mecha. Strap all the guns and missiles you can onto one machine.

* [[Macross Missile Massacre]]: The ''Endless Waltz'' version of Heavyarms Kai.

⚫

* [[More Dakka]]: The basic idea behind his mecha. Strap all the guns and missiles you can onto one machine.

* [[Named After Somebody Famous]]: [[Tim Burton]], of whom director Ikeda is a big fan.

* {{spoiler|[[No Name Given]]}}: As revealed in ''Endless Waltz'', {{spoiler|Trowa is not his real name. He's only known as "Nanashi" (No-Name), but ''Episode Zero'' implies that he might be Triton Bloom, a young boy who was thought to have been killed after an Alliance attack that killed Catherine's parents.}}

Line 153:

* [[Sparkling Stream of Tears]]: After destroying Duo's Deathscythe.

* [[The Stoic]]

* {{spoiler|[[Taking the Bullet~~|Taking The Blast~~]]: For Heero during Quatre's fight with Heero. He survived, but was left with amnesia.}}

* {{spoiler|[[Taking the Bullet]]: For Heero during Quatre's fight with Heero. He survived, but was left with amnesia. He does this to save both Heero and Quatre; he knows his sacrifice is more likely to snap Quatre out of his funk than Heero's death}}.

* [[Teen Genius]]: While the other pilots also qualify, he's the only one who manages to {{spoiler|infiltrate Oz ''and'' Mariemeia's Army succesfully}}, probably because unlike the other four boys he doesn't have a massive case of [[Chronic Hero Syndrome]] to screw things up for him.

* {{spoiler|[[That Man Is Dead]]}}

Line 172:

* [[Blue Eyes]]

* [[The Captain]]: Heero may be [[The Hero]], but he readily passes leadership of the Gundam Team onto the more charismatic Quatre.

⚫

* {{spoiler|[[Death by Childbirth]]}}: What happened to Quatre's mother {{spoiler|when she insisted on giving birth to Quatre naturally, when all of the Winner children before him were [[Gattaca Babies|test tube babies]] ''and'' she was a very delicate [[Ill Girl]].}}.

* [[Crossing the Desert]]

⚫

* {{spoiler|[[Death by Childbirth]]}}: What happened to Quatre's mother {{spoiler|when she insisted on giving birth to Quatre naturally, when all of the Winner children before him were [[Gattaca Babies|test tube babies]] ''and'' she was a very delicate [[Ill Girl]].}}.

* [[Dual-Wielding]]: Sandrock dual wields its heat shotels. He also dual-wields beam sabers when riding a Taurus once.

* [[The Empath]]: Very slightly.

Line 193:

* [[Shipper on Deck]]: When Heero goes to save Relena and Duo suggests following, Quatre's response is basically "[[Leave the Two Lovebirds Alone]]".

* [[The Smart Guy]]: On the team. Which eventually turns him into [[The Strategist]], directing the team in their battles. Shown in Episode Zero as well where he leads the Maguanacs in an escape attempt. The kicker? He was a child at the time.

⚫

* [[The Strategist]]: In the later episodes.

* [[Sparkling Stream of Tears]]: After destroying a colony with Wing Zero, and in episode 38, when he tried to meet Trowa, only to be turned away by Catherine.

⚫

* [[The Strategist]]: In the later episodes.

* [[Telepathic Spacemen]]: The AC-verse's only known Newtype. Maybe.

* [[Waistcoat of Style]]

** Also a [[Bulletproof Vest]] considering how many times he gets shot at and survives.

* [[Warrior Prince]]: More of an aristocrat than a prince, but the same basic idea. He's out there on the front lines despite (or really, because of) his upbringing.

⚫

* {{spoiler|[[What Happened to the Mouse?]]?: In the anime, Quatre's older sister, Iria, gets a head bump and is knocked unconscious after their father was killed. She was never seen again after that. Subverted in the manga adaptation, in which she was killed along with their father.}} And now {{spoiler|officially averted as of ''Frozen Teardrop'', where she's shown to be alive and well in the future.}}

* [[The White Prince]]

* {{spoiler|[[You Killed My Father]]:}} The reason for his [[Freak-Out]].

** [[Laughing Mad]]: Sounds creepier in the [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1RLrr4M8ssA dubbed version], although both versions are great.
