Line 49:
* [[A Taste of Power]]: The berserker body she obtains in the first volume has more raw firepower that ANYTHING else in the series but some of her weapons in her (inferior in combat) TUNED body, and the Imaginos body she uses in the ending and in Last Order.
* [[Took a Level In Badass]]: The most striking one was when she was given the berserker body and went from a young girl without experiece that could do some martial arts to a plasma welding proffesional able to win a bar brawl by herself.
* [[Tomato in Thethe Mirror]]: Twice in fast sucession in Last Order, she has not been the same since the latter.
* [[Ubermensch]]
* {{spoiler|[[Ultimate Lifeform]]: [http://www.mangareader.net/battle-angel-alita-last-order/102/8 When she is recreated the second time], Payne equates her to a [[Humanoid Abomination]].}}
Line 66:
* [[Brain Uploading]]: {{spoiler|Like every Tipharean, his brain was replaced with a chip}}, but he uses it to his advantage by periodically copying its contents, making backups in his body, making backup bodies...
* [[Cloning Blues]]: There are about 3 to 5 of him running around, and managed to become a literal pest.
* [[Complete Monster]]: Super Nova, full stop. [[Send in Thethe Clones|Other Novas]] run the gamut from [[Anti-Villain]] to [[Affably Evil]], but Super Nova is just plain evil.
* [[Crazy Awesome]]: The more we see him, the more obvious it gets.
* [[Early-Bird Cameo]]: Debuts in the second half of the 5th volume of the original manga, past its midpoint, but is first seen in the very first volume, and his name is first mentioned in the third.
Line 98:
Scrapyard cybersurgeon and Hunter-Warrior who found what was left of {{spoiler|<s>Yoko</s>}}Gally in the scrap heap and revived/rebuilt her. Ido initially had some hopes of a [[Pygmalion Plot]] (which is probably why he ''named'' Gally such, as a short of Galatea), but wasn't much disappointed when she turned out indifferent, and became her [[Parental Substitute]] to amend her amnesia.
 
* {{spoiler|[[Back for Thethe Finale]]: Coutesy of [[Lotus Eater Machine|Ouroboros]]. Gally, in her attemps to escape, [[Tear Jerker|has to kill him. Twice.]] When she manages to finally overpower the program, we get a quite heartwarming [[So Proud of You]] moment.}}
* [[Badass Normal]]: The only fully organic hunter warrior in the Scrapyard ({{spoiler|[[Tomato in Thethe Mirror|or so he thinks]]}}), and a pretty damn good one.
* [[Blood Knight]]: His sole reason to be a hunter-warrior.
* {{spoiler|[[Killed Off for Real]]: Well, somewhat subverted, he is resurrected, but ends up [[Laser-Guided Amnesia|deleting his own memories]], so the Ido we (and Gally) knew and loved is gone for good.}}
Line 117:
** [[Disproportionate Retribution]]: "I'll RUIN the life of the girl who beat me in a bar brawl because I was a jerk with her!"
** [[Jerkass Woobie]]
*** [[Jerk Withwith a Heart of Gold]]
* [[Implacable Man]]: {{spoiler|After getting the Berzerk body he becomes this.}}
* [[Knife Nut]]
* [[My God, What Have I Done?]]: His reaction {{spoiler|after accidently killing his girlfriend, over his anger for Gally.}} It's also what drives him over the edge.
* {{spoiler|[[Redemption Equals Death]]}}
* [[Shout-Out]]: The symbol he bears in his forehead is [[Blue OysterÖyster Cult (Music)|Blue Oyster Cult]]'s.
* [[You Will Be Assimilated]]: The active Berserker body really likes to eat other cyborgs...
 
Line 166:
 
* [[The Ace]]: He ended up taking challenges only from teams, AND with a handicap, otherwise he'd have no challenge. And he had barely in this way. Justified, however, in that his brain was touched by a certain [[Mad Scientist]] who enjoys flan...
* {{spoiler|[[Back for Thethe Finale]]: Like Ido, reappears in Ouroboros. Gally breaks out of the illusion by finally defeating him.}}
* [[Dark-Skinned Blond]]
* [[Determinator]]
Line 180:
A mysterius Radio DJ who drives around the wasteland with his assistant. His musical tallent stems from his unique ability to read memories inprinted on items by their users. This can range from music and singing from instruments to fencing from Swords. He also can only see in infrared and hear in radio signals. Becomes a potential love intrest for Gally after reading her memories. However he also harbors two dark Secrets. {{spoiler|He has a split personality named Den who leads a massiv army and tries to destroy Jeru and he is the biological son of Destiny Nova.}}
 
* [[Blessed Withwith Suck]]: He can see infrared radiation and hear and speak radio waves. He can ONLY see infrared radiation and ONLY hear and speak radio waves.
* [[The Empath]]: Thanks to his psychometry, he can feel the experiences of whatever he touches.
* [[Instant Expert]]: Can learn EVERYTHING about anything he touches, incluiding how to use it at its best.
Line 187:
* [[Love At First Sight|Love At First Touch]]: Due to his power, having to fix Gally's body made him fall in love with her.
* {{spoiler|[[Strong Family Resemblance]]: He looks eerilie similar to Nova without his specs in, as rare as that sight is.}}
* [[Wide -Eyed Idealist]]: To the point of making the setting a [[World Half Full]] almost by himself.
 
=== Den ===
Line 195:
* [[Establishing Character Moment]]: Seeing him deliver a [[Badass Boast]] to an opponent who is destroying his body, just to kill him in one single move once he finishes. Then squatting the manager of said opponent for being a pawn of Tiphares.
* [[Large and In Charge]]
* [[Self -Destructive Charge]]: His last {{spoiler|attempt to destroy the floating city, after Barjack got heavily destroyed}}. Complete with [[Carmina Burana (Music)|"O Fortuna"]] sounding. Yes, in printed media.
** {{spoiler|[[Shaggy Dog Story]]: And that charge ends with his [[BFS]] breaking when he gets an strike against one of the tubes that go up to Tiphares. He decides dying is the best thing he can do then.}}
* [[Wide -Eyed Idealist]]: A far darker that normal take on the trope, he belives the destruction of Tiphares would solve the world's problems. {{spoiler|[[Not So Different]] from Kaos, after all.}}
 
=== Figure Four ===
Line 204:
* [[Manly Tears]]: {{spoiler|When [[Cowardly Lion|Yolg]] dies.}}
* [[Out of Focus]]: He only got mentions in Last Order. Compare with Koyomi, Kaos, and even Vector and Gally's motorball circle, which were seen and even got some plotlines.
* [[Stay in Thethe Kitchen]]: He acts macho to lure Alita out of her shell but ironically {{spoiler|he is the one who stays behind in his peacefull coastal village to faithfully await Alita's return wile she is out on her own kicking ass and taking names.}} That's pretty rare in fiction, when you think of it.
 
 
Line 235:
One of the Gally's TUNED clones, who broke free and, being burdened with an ''extremely'' powerful [[Middle Child Syndrome]] decided to prove his (well, ''[[Gender Bender|her]]'' at the time) worth by hunting down all other clones and, finally, the original. After getting (then still) her ass kicked by Gally almost at the end of that quest (see below), she ([[Overly Long Gag|then]]) toned down somewhat and became something of an [[Annoying Younger Sibling]].
 
* [[A Day in Thethe Limelight]]: Due to Gally being busy getting Lou's brain and {{spoiler|getting to [[Tomato in Thethe Mirror|know herself]]}}; and Elf and Zwölf being scared to fight due to the latter having had her head blown up in their last fight; Sechs alone has to fight in the Z.O.T.T. [[One-Man Army|He brings the team to the finals, the first time ever the final is not Jupiter versus Venus]].
* [[Animal Motif]]: [http://www.mangareader.net/1047-39607-1/battle-angel-alita-last-order/chapter-41.html Shark.]
* [[Artificial Human]]: He started out as a copy of Gally, remember.
Line 279:
* [[Heroes Fight Barehanded]]: Went from fighting with a combination of [[Good Old Fisticuffs|brutish Panzer Kunst]], [[BFS|Sechster Angriff]], [[BFG|and the Solenoid Quench Gun]] to [[Heroes Fight Barehanded|mostly just punching]], because he no longer has the Quench gun, and normally immediately loses his Titan Blade in fights.
* [[Hot-Blooded]]
* [[How Dare You Die Onon Me!]]: To Gally, and later {{spoiler|Zazie}}
* [[Idiot Hero]]: Well, Sechs isn't really going to win any Nobel prizes... mainly because you [[Blood Knight|couldn't kill anybody]] with it.
** Openly admits it himself and gets angry when people force him to use his brain(chip).
Line 288:
* [[Middle Child Syndrome]]
** Gets funnier when you remember that there were 12 TUNEDs, 13 with Gally. He really is middle one of the production line.
* [[Overshadowed Byby Awesome]]: "Hey, Sechs, you managed to handle the power of your new body, and got the firepower of a small nation? Oh, too bad, Gally over there has hijacked via wormhole the finest weapon of technological giant Jupiter."
** Even worse because Sechs's body {{spoiler|was ultimately destroyed by Zekka's punch.}}
* [[Opposite Sex Clone]]: What he is now, but given just how much they've diverged, he's closer to just a little brother.
Line 308:
* [[Spin Attack]]: Most of his attacks involve spinning.
* [[Spirited Competitor]]: To some extent, he won't kill enemies too easy to kill, and he's greatest ambition is to defeat the greatest compeition.
* [[Tomato in Thethe Mirror]]: Basically what his character has been trying to do from the beginning, prove that he's stronger than Gally and is a true warrior in his own right, which has a degree of irony to it because Gally spends her time trying to prove that she's a human being in her own right, so he's still imitating her. He did spend some time trying to figure out "the essential quality of a true warrior" but hasn't really gotten a satisfying answer, aside from "environmental destruction".
* [[Took a Level In Dumbass]]: [http://www.mangareader.net/1047-39593-43/battle-angel-alita-last-order/chapter-28.html Starts off a dark violent character and an adversary to Gally, who just wants to kill people, especially Gally once the tournament ends.] [http://www.mangareader.net/1047-39626-6/battle-angel-alita-last-order/chapter-60.html Later on, his eyes get larger and he becomes more of a dumb comic relief character], frequently [[Balloon Belly|balloon bellying]] and reminding the readers that he's only 2 whilst making goofy faces. Hard to remember at times that he killed most of the GR series.
* [[The Napoleon]]: It is implied that he didn't like being a "shorty" in his TUNED body.
Line 389:
* [[Evil Chancellor]]
* [[The Chessmaster]]: Some of his plans are stretching for centuries.
* [[Hoist Byby His Own Petard]]: It's not very healthy to make your own former partners turn against you. Especially if these partners are {{spoiler|[[Playful Hacker|a genius hacker]] and [[Badass Abnormal|immortal 700 years old vampire]]}}.
* [[Jerkass]]: And proud of it.
* [[Knight Templar]]: In a big way.
Line 404:
* [[Tall, Dark and Snarky]]: He knows that he's the top dog, and doesn't feel that shy about it (except when it might [[The Plan|hinder his plans]])
* [[Utopia Justifies the Means]]: Trinidad won't stop before ''anything'' to bring his goal, however [[Squick|squicky]] you'd find it.
* [[Villain Withwith Good Publicity]]: He's still the hero for most of the Solar system, despite not being the good old [[The Cape|Captain Mbadi]] for a long, long time.
* {{spoiler|[[Your Head Asplode]]}}: In Chapter 110. He still [[Death Is Cheap|may have a backup]], though.
 
Line 442:
* [[Playful Hacker]]: Nearly textbook example.
* [[Red Baron]]: ''The Weasel''.
* [[What Happened to Thethe Mouse?]]: Wasn't heard about since Mbadi and Super Nova's encounter with Gally, {{spoiler|and her fusion with Fata Morgana and rebirth from Tunguska in an Imaginos 2.0 body}}. But then again, Nova hasn't appeared in the story since the very same event.
** The chapters before the final battle of the ZOTT show him still in coma and in medical care of his childhood love.
** Chapter 109 shows him probably coming back to his senses, as he's seen smiling under the ventilator mask.
Line 488:
* [[Hell-Bent for Leather]]
* [[Ho Yay]]: [[Foe Yay|With Sechs, naturally.]] Although Sechs was originally female.
* [[Jerk Withwith a Heart of Gold]]: All things considered, he's a pretty good-natured guy. Just don't get on his bad side.
** He most certainly is a complete [[Jerkass]] in his own epic fashion at [[Ambition Is Evil|one notable moment.]]
* [[Lightning Bruiser]]: Can punch so fast he produces enough heat to glass objects.
Line 508:
* [[Ubermensch]]
* [[Walking Shirtless Scene]]
* [[World's Strongest Man]]: Literally what he is. [[Hoist Byby His Own Petard|The only way to damage him is to rebound or deflect his attack,]] [[Healing Factor|and he heals anyways.]]
* [[Worthy Opponent]]
* [[Older Than He Looks|Older Than He Acts]]: He's about 200 years old, but comparable to Sechs in terms of maturity.
Line 514:
=== Toji ===
[[File:toji_3222.jpg|frame]]
Another Space Karate master, and closest thing to the [[Worthy Opponent]] that Gally ever really had. Almost as skilled as Zekka (in fact, his master was Zekka's rival in the past), he's somehow managed to remain a [[Wide -Eyed Idealist]] who thinks that karate is a key that opens all the doors and answers all questions -- and he wants to create a "Karate planet" where he would welcome everybody who thinks the same -- and those who need their protection. Also, despite the listing order and Zekka's general flamboyantness, it is Toji who's actually the Space Karate team captain.
 
* [[Animal Motif]]: Rat
Line 522:
* [[Martial Arts and Crafts]]: [[Ninja Pirate Zombie Robot|Super Electromagnetic Karate]].
* [[Shotoclone]]: He's largely a Ryu's [[Expy]], right down to the torn-off sleeves of his ''gi''..
* [[Wide -Eyed Idealist]]
* [[Worthy Opponent]]: He even agrees to back up Gally should he lose their fight.
