Line 19:
* [[Big Bad]]: While Tetsuo starts off just as confused as everybody else, he becomes the main antagonist eventually.
* [[Evil Laugh]]: "UWAH-HAH-HAH-HAH-HAH-A-AAH"!
* [[Even Evil Has Standards]]: In the movie. Much of Tetsuo's rampage has him doing nothing but smirking and deflecting any hits against him in stride, but when the army starts pulling out their laser guns and shooting at him, they miss and hit one of the Akira worshippers following him. His reaction to it was of [[What the Hell Hero|shock and disgust]]. The next time they fire he shields not only himself from the beams, but also deflects them away from any bystanders behind him. It becomes somewhat inverted, when he breaks the bridge, but hey, that was a combination of him not knowing his own strength as well as one of the collapsing tanks misfiring and hitting the side where the worshippers were standing.
* [[Freudian Excuse]]: Poor Tetsuo had to deal with bullies of various sorts his entire life until he discovered his powers.
* [[From Nobody to Nightmare]]
Line 37:
* [[Superpower Meltdown]]
* [[Bullet Catch|Tank Ammo Catch]]: Tetsuo does this ''with his mind'' in the movie.
* [[Took a Level Inin Badass]]: Thanks to his newly awakened powers!
* [[With Great Power Comes Great Insanity]]
* [[Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds]]: Naturally.
Line 53:
* [[Colonel Badass]]
* [[Friend to All Children]]: He's the only one aside from Dr. Onishi to take the Espers abilities seriously and is fiercely protective of them. Even willing to take on a mutating Tetsuo with nothing but a side arm just to keep him away from them. He extends this to Kaori as well in the movie when Tetsuo advances on her menacingly, making him the only one aside from Kaneda to manage to harm Tetsuo. He was even genuinely worried when Tetsuo's powers were getting out of control, desperately trying to warn him that his powers are killing him.
* [[Took a Level Inin Badass]]: The Colonel, after the timeskip in the manga. Before, he's a very angry [[Elite Mook]] who spends his whole time shouting conflicting orders. After, he's a much more thoughtful and outright heroic character who shows that he's a very badass fighter who's not to be messed with as time goes on, leading up to him attempting to take out Tetsuo head on.
