Outlaw Star/Characters: Difference between revisions

{{work}}

== The Heroes ==

 

* [[Awesome McCoolname]]

* [[Badass Longcoat]]: More like yellowish cape, but it fits the spirit.

* [[Big Eater]]: Not as much as Aisha, but still high enough to be below the Shonen line.

* [[Bodyguard Crush]]: Gene seems to be prone to these, considering it happened with Hilda ''and'' Melfina.

* [[Combat Pragmatist]]: Gene's tactic for winning a duel to the death? Straight up cheating, of course!

* [[Estrogen Brigade Bait]]: Lessee, tragic history, red hair, shirtless every other scene, athletic, good heart (underneath a selfish juvenile exterior)... Yeah, that'll do.

* [[The Gunslinger]]: His fighting that doesn't involve a lot of cheating.

* [[Handsome Lech]]: Goes after every hot lady he meets {{spoiler|except Hamushi, one of the Anten Seven, at which point he only loves Melfina.}}

* [[The Hero]]: A realistic one.

* [[Hunk]]

* [[Incompatible Orientation]]: Oddly enough, Fred doesn't seem to mind.

* [[Loveable Rogue]]: Gene is a [[Handsome Lech|lecherous]] loud mouth with a knack for trouble, and he can be a right [[Jerkass|asshole]] on his bad days, but he helps those he has a bargain or promise to.

* [[Luke Nounverber]]

* [[Promotion to Parent]]: Gene is Jim's guardian in name, but in reality, Jim is [[Children Raise You|the parent Gene needs to remember his adult responsibilities.]]

* [[Revolvers Are Just Better]]: One of his guns is a revolver.

* [[The Worf Effect]]: Those oh-so-rare caster shells he prefers are incredibly powerful--except against enemies that factor into the plot.

* [[You Gotta Have Blue Hair|You Gotta Have Crimson Hair]]: Red Crimson.

* [[You Killed My Father]]: To Ron MacDougal who [[A Million Is a Statistic|had killed so many people for money]] [[But for Me It Was Tuesday|that he refers to it as another day at work.]]

 

 

* [[Adorably Precocious Child]]

* [[Fatal Attraction]]: With {{spoiler|Hanmyo of the Anten Seven}}.

* [[Wise Beyond Their Years]]: Way more practical than Gene is.

 

 

* [[Artificial Human]]: A "bio-android."

* [[Ayako Kawasumi]]: Her debut role.

* [[Cloning Blues]]

* [[Damsel in Distress]]: [[Justified Trope|Justified]], as she's pretty important to the one thing everyone's after in the series, and furthermore she is the one female member of the Outlaw Star crew who isn't a semi-immortal alien or an assassin.

* [[Digital Bikini]]: [[Bowdlerization|Given one]] when the show aired on [[Cartoon Network]]'s Toonami line-up.

* [[Feminine Women Can Cook]]

* [[Innocent Fanservice Girl]]

* [[Living MacGuffin]]: She's required to pilot the Outlaw Star, {{spoiler|and to unlock the Leyline's power.}}

* [[Mysterious Waif]]

* [[Shrinking Violet]]: Notably shy for a girl who spends most of her time doing her job naked.

* [[Unusual User Interface]]: She isn't a navigator, but rather the navigation ''system'' for the Outlaw Star. This requires her to jump into some backlit chamber and remove all of her clothing for [[Fan Service|some reason.]] Notably, she always enters and exits the navigation chamber fully clothed, the stripping appears to be involuntary and automatic.

* [[Wetware CPU]]: As the Outlaw Star's navigation system

* [[Yamato Nadeshiko]]

 

 

* [[Action Girl]]: Gene or Jim wouldn't have a chance against her {{spoiler|unless they cheat.}}

* [[Adult Child]]: She has ''zero'' maturity and impulse control, often making Gene appear to be extremely mature in comparison.

* [[Badass]]: Albeit much, much more so when fully transformed. Her default look is the [[Catgirl]] look.

* [[Big Eater]]: Eats as much as a Shonen hero.

* [[Boisterous Bruiser]]: Loud and kicks ass.

* [[Boobs of Steel]]: Has a nice rack, and kicks butt.

* [[Catgirl]]: The ears, the "nya," and the feisty attitude {{spoiler|Even turns into a Tiger.}}

* [[Clothing Damage]]: Aside from when she gets blown up, she shreds her outfit {{spoiler|when she turns into her tiger form.}}

* [[Cool Big Sis]]: To Jim. It's [[Lampshade Hanging|lampshaded]] later in the series.

* [[Cute Bruiser]]: Acts like she's twelve. Kicks a lot of ass.

* [[Iron Butt Monkey]]: If it's bad, it's probably going happen to her. Such as being shot in the face point-blank by Gene.

* [[Large Ham]]: Even more so than Gene.

* [[Unusual Ears]]: Apart from the obvious [[Catgirl]] thing, Aisha's ears do have a bit of a jigokumimi look to them.

* [[Voluntary Shapeshifter]]: She can go full [[Were Cat]] at will, provided the planet she's on has a moon.

* [[Worf Barrage]]: Pulls one off against Shimi.

* [[Yuko Miyamura]]: Her Seiyu.

 

 

* [[Absurdly Sharp Blade]]: Her bokken can cut through ''anything.''

* [[Action Girl]] / [[Badass]]: When Suzuka picks up her bokken, somebody's ass is about to be kicked.

* [[Defeat Means Friendship]]: She joins the crew after Gene (barely) defeats her.

* [[Defrosting Ice Queen]]: She doesn't do a personality 180, but she grows kinder and more willing to care about other people.

* [[I Have the High Ground]]: In her introduction, stops this after losing to Gene.

* [[Katanas Are Just Better]]: Only reason she's in this Sci-Fi universe is because Samurai are cool.

* [[The Only One Allowed to Defeat You]]: To Gene, after losing to him.

* [[Professional Killer]]: Gene ended her notable reputation, but she still kills people despite this. Probably the only reason she's not dirt broke like the others.

* [[Razor Wind]]: One of her many, many sword techs.

* [[Samurai]]: Suzuka has no real place in the series which is a semi-futuristic world with magical [[Space Pirates]] and ships with arms, likely only there to add a sense of Japan and [[Fetish Fuel]].

* [[Sarashi]]

* [[Worf Barrage]]: Pulls one off against Shimi {{spoiler|Leilong}}.

 

* [[Catch Phrase]]: Gilliam would like to remind you that the Outlaw Star is the most advanced ship in the galaxy.

* [[Cool Ship]]: One of several in the series.

* [[Only Sane Man]]: Constantly points out the recklessness of the crew.

* [[Robot Buddy]]: In his pink mini-robot form.

* [[The Smart Guy]]: When Jim isn't acting reckless like the rest of team.

* [[Super Prototype]]: And damn proud of it.

 

 

* [[All Love Is Unrequited]]: Not that Fred seems to mind. He has far more fun flirting with Gene from afar.

* [[Arms Dealer]]

* [[Gayngst]]: Completely averted. Fred's too busy making Gene blush and stutter to even care that he's straight.

* [[Manipulative Bastard]]: His affection for Gene ''is'' genuine, but he has no problem using his boytoy for any number of dirty schemes.

* [[True Neutral]]

 

 

* [[Action Girl]]

* [[Badass]]: Pretty much everything she does.

* [[Eyepatch of Power]]: She's missing her right eye.

* [[Hollywood Cyborg]]: She has a cybernetic left arm.

* [[Hot Amazon]]: Kicked four guys asses in seconds flat.

* {{spoiler|[[Killed Off for Real]]: At the end of the fourth episode, appropriately titled "When the Hot Ice Melts"}}

* [[Mysterious Past]]: Mentioned in series, by Suwanzo, when Gene asks about Hilda {{spoiler|after her death.}}

 

== The Villains ==

=== The MacDougal Brothers ===

* {{spoiler|[[Artificial Human]]:}} {{spoiler|Harry.}}

* [[Ax Crazy]]: Harry.

* [[But for Me It Was Tuesday]]: When Gene confronts Ronald about the death of his father, he casually mentions that he doesn't recall, as he can't be bothered to remember every single person he's killed.

* [[Cybernetics Eat Your Soul]]: {{spoiler|Inverted. If anything, Harry becomes ''more'' stable the more cybernetics his body takes on.}}

* [[Evil Counterpart]]: Both of them could qualify for different aspects of Gene. Ron is a cool, calculating fighter who plans ahead, whereas Gene is hotheaded and prone to making stuff up as he goes along. Harry, his romantic rival, is ''disturbingly'' open with his feelings for Melfina and pursues her aggressively, while Gene keeps his feelings for her hidden to the point of seeming uncaring.

* [[Pet the Dog]]: The two brothers do genuinely love each other {{spoiler|and Ron is particularly upset when it looks like Harry's been killed. We also find out that while his obsession with her was pretty far from healthy, Harry's feelings for Melfina were purer than they first seemed.}}

* [[Psycho for Hire]]: Ronald is the calmer, more businesslike of the two, but Harry ''definitely'' counts.

* [[Villainous Crush]]: Harry toward Melfina.

* [[Yandere]]: Again, Harry towards Melfina.

 

=== The Kei Pirates ===

* [[Badass]]: Although they appear less often then most villains, the group is undeniably powerful and up to the job.

* [[Badass Normal]]: Shimi appears to be the only member of the pirates lacking either sorcery or supernatural powers, but is arguably the one who comes closest to killing Gene and the rest of the crew.

* [[Quirky Miniboss Squad]]: The Anten Seven fit the bill for the Kei Pirates as a whole.

* [[Space Pirates]]: Well, yeah.

* [[Villainous Crush]]: {{spoiler|Hanmyo and Jim.}} Neither of them knows who the other is.

* [[Walking Armory]]: Shimi {{spoiler|a.k.a. Leilong}} has a ''lot'' of weapons.

 

 

* [[Badass Grandpa]]: He's an older fellow...

** [[Authority Equals Asskicking]]: ...who leads a group of space pirates.

* [[Cool Mask]]

* [[Dangerously Genre Savvy]]: When the Outlaw Star crew proves to be a threat, the first Hazanko sends to get rid of them is {{spoiler|Shimi. [[Word of God]] states that Shimi was the most skilled of the Kei Pirates, second to Hazanko. Before he fights Gene Starwind it's implied he's going through a [[Heel Face Turn]]. When Shimi takes on the entire Outlaw Star crew he administers a [[Curb Stomp Battle]]. Victory in his favor, Shimi decides to botch his duel with Gene and use it as an opportunity to fake his own death and leave the Kei Pirates. Hazanko doesn't know of this plot but is very displeased that Shimi "failed" anyway. Needless to say, Gene Starwind and friends would have been toast if Shimi was serious about his mission.}}

* {{spoiler|[[Devour the Dragon]]:}} {{spoiler|Hazanko eventually merges with the Geomancer--including Tobigera and the rest of the crew.}}

* [[Evil Sorcerer]] ([[Recycled in Space|In space]])

* [[Large Ham]]: Just see the quote.

* {{spoiler|[[The Starscream]]}}: It was hinted that he was more powerful than the other leaders, {{spoiler|but his real goal is use the Galactic Leyline in order to overthrow the Tendo King and the Tempa Emperor.}}

* [[The Stoic]]: His mask does a good job of hiding what [[Complete Monster|a psycho]] he truly is under that royal facade.

** [[Not So Stoic]]: {{spoiler|Gets a bit more expressive when he merges with his ship.}}
