Overman King Gainer/Characters: Difference between revisions

{{work}}

This page describes the characters appearing in [[Yoshiyuki Tomino]]'s ''[[Overman King Gainer]]'' and the tropes associated to them. Please help out with the blurbs.

 

 

=== Gainer Sanga ===

:''Played by [[Hirofumi Nojima]] (Japanese), [[Darrel Guilbeau]] (English), Gwen Lebret (French)''

* [[Ace Pilot]]

* {{spoiler|[[An Ice Person]] / [[Brainwashed and Crazy]]: Courtesy of the Overdevil.}}

* {{spoiler|[[Anguished Declaration of Love]]: More like [[Crowning Moment of Funny]] Declaration Of Love... Sara was ''not'' amused!}}

* {{spoiler|[[Childhood Friend Romance]]}}: {{spoiler|After a lot of misunderstanding and flip-flopping, he and Sara get together after the Overdevil's defeat.}}

* [[Grumpy Bear]]: Gainer is quite skeptical whether going into Exodus is ''really'' a good idea.

* [[Heroic Neutral]]: The guy ended up fighting for Exodus despite being against it. And ended up a more mature person from that, too.

* [[Hikikomori]]: Spent 27 days cooped up in his room playing games at the start of the Exodus.

 

=== Sara Kodama ===

:''Played by Ai Kobayashi (Japanese), [[Colleen O'Shaughnessey]] (English, credited as "Olivia O'Connor"), Agnès Manoury (French)''

* [[Can't Catch Up]]: A pretty decent pilot, but she's stuck with a Silhouette Machine for the whole series. ''[[Super Robot Wars]]'' remedies this by allowing her to pilot an Overman.

* [[Clingy Jealous Girl]]: Mild example, and [[Played for Laughs]].

 

=== Gain Bijou ===

:''Played by Otoya Kawano (Japanese), [[Kirk Thornton]] (English, credited as "Ron Allen"), Emmanuel Gradi (French)''

* [[Ace Pilot]]

* [[Badass]]

 

=== Ana Medaiyu ===

:''Played by Noriko Kitou (Japanese), [[Michelle Ruff]] (English), Isabelle Volpe (French)''

* [[Little Miss Snarker]]: Sometimes.

* [[Nice Hat]]

 

=== Bello Korissha ===

:''Played by Shuusaku Ohtake (Japanese), [[Derek Stephen Prince]] (English, credited as "David Umansky")''

* [[Can't Catch Up]]: Just like Sara, he doesn't pilot anything that could possibly fight against an Overman.

* [[Dogged Nice Guy]]: Poor guy is stuck in Sara's "friend zone". And he's probably there to stay.

 

=== Hughes Gauli ===

:''Played by Tohru Kusano (Japanese), [[Tony Oliver]] (English)''

* {{spoiler|[[An Ice Person]] / [[Brainwashed and Crazy]]: Quite literally is frozen by the Overdevil at first, but is then subjected to both tropes at once.}}

* [[Badass]]

 

=== Meeya Laujin ===

:''Played by Yumiko Nakanishi (Japanese), Kate Davis (English)''

* [[Idol Singer]]: Of sorts.

* [[Genius Ditz]]: Is wise, but acts like a [[Cloudcuckoolander]] or [[Genki Girl]] at times, to the irritation of her manager.

 

=== Asuham Boone ===

:''Played by [[Takehito Koyasu]] (Japanese), [[Doug Erholtz]] (English), Gérard Rouzier (French)''

* [[Berserk Button]]: "'''GAAAAAAIN!'''"

* [[Big Bad]]: Kind of... but primarily for Gain.

 

=== Zakki Bronco ===

:''Played by Richard Hayworth (English)''

* [[The Dragon]]: to Asuham.

* [[Harmless Freezing]]: In the finale. Though Yassaba, in a moment of [[Comedic Sociopathy]], suggests leaving him for dead...

 

=== Jin Yassaba ===

:''Played by [[Hisao Egawa]] (Japanese), [[Michael McConnohie]] (English)''

* [[Cool Old Guy]]: Not that old (see below), but he does fit.

** Apparently this was why he was dropped as a character - he's ''too'' cool in a world without many cool adults and was threatening to overshadow the others. (The director even apologized to [[Hisao Egawa]] for this.)

 

=== Adette Kirstler ===

:''Played by Marika Hayashi (Japanese), [[Wendee Lee]] (English), Anne Plumet (French)''

* [[Action Girl]]

* [[Badass Normal]]

 

=== Kashmir Valle ===

:''Played by [[Keiji Fujiwara]] (Japanese), Chris Kent (English)''

* [[Ambiguously Gay]]: Just... look at him!

** Seriously. He's practically [[Camp Gay]] without the Gay.

 

=== Kejinan, Enge and Jaboli ===

* [[Country Mouse]]: [[Word of God]] says Jaboli is one, although personality-wise, she's not quite as naive. Kejinan and Enge are also hinted to have been born in the boonies.

* [[Despair Event Horizon]]: Played for laughs when Kashmir tested his new Overman whose overskill is to lower morale and cause doubt in people's minds. They forgot their [[Nice Hat|helmets]].

==== Jaboli Mariela ====

:''Played by: Maki Tamura (Japanese), Mia Bradly (English)''

* [[Ambiguously Brown]]

* [[Bodyguard Crush]]: Jaboli had one for Asuham.

==== Kejinan Datto ====

:''Played by: Hiroshi Kitazawa (Japanese), [[Dave Wittenberg]] (English, credited as "David Lelyveld")''

* [[Anguished Declaration of Love]]: To Adette, while holding her captive with his Overman. He was utterly shot down.

* [[Bishonen]]: Kejinan ''tried'' to be one with his Overman's illusion powers in the [[Anguished Declaration of Love]] above. It just makes him look ridiculous.

==== Enge Gam ====

:''Played by: Tsuyoshi Koyama (Japanese), [[Richard Epcar]] (English, credited as "Richard George")''

* [[Eyepatch of Power]]: though the power part is debatable.

* [[Lolicon]]: Both Kejinan and Enge. They found ''Cynthia'' to be hot, for crying out loud!

 

=== Cynthia Lane ===

:''Played by Rena Mizuki (Japanese), Tara Malone (English)''

<!-- The page says it's not a trope, so commenting out until somebody writes a description of her. * [[Pettanko]]: But she's the youngest character in the cast other than Ana, so it's understandable. -->

* [[Ace Pilot]]

* {{spoiler|[[An Ice Person]] / [[Brainwashed and Crazy]]: Courtesy of the Overdevil in the climatic battle.}}

=== President Kids Munt ===

:''Played by Seiji Sasaki (Japanese), James Lyon (English)''

* [[Affably Evil]]

* [[Bald of Evil]]

== Mecha ==

=== Brunhild ===

 

=== The Overdevil ===

* [[An Ice Person]]

* [[Bigger Bad]]
