=== ''Super Dimension Century Orguss'' contains examples of: ===
Line 12:
* [[Ace Pilot]]: Kei's pretty skilled and can at least stay alive when he's hopelessly outnumbered. [[Super Robot Wars Z]] puts him nearly on level with [[Chars Counterattack]]-era Amuro!
* [[Angst? What Angst?]]: Kei is told fairly early on that the Emaan get over death very quickly. And by "very quickly" we mean "within two minutes"
* [[Another
* [[Back for
* [[Bizarre Alien Biology]]: The Emaan with their head-tails.
* [[Brick Joke]]: {{spoiler|the woman Kei was sleeping with at the start of the first episode would end up being pregnant and having a daughter, one who would go on to become Kei's rival when he returned, and is first shown eleven episodes after the start of the series.}}
Line 21:
** Olson is essentially Athena's [[Zeta Gundam|Quattro]], straight down to the mentor role and sunglasses... except Orguss aired before Zeta Gundam. And he's voiced by [[Mobile Suit Gundam|Bright Noah]] himself too!
* [[Heroic Sacrifice]]: {{spoiler|Sley early on, and then Mohm and Tai leading up to the final moments of the series where '''''Olson and Kei kill their past selves and die in the process''''' to correct the damage to the Earth}}
* [[Hey, It's That Voice!]]: Kei is voiced by Sho Hayami who also voiced [[Super Dimension Fortress Macross|Maximilian Jenius]], [[Gravion|Klein Sandman]], [[Aura Battler Dunbine|Bern Bunnings]], the OVA version of [[Devilman]], [[Heavy Metal L
* [[Idiot Hero]]: Lampshaded by Shaya, leaving Kei wondering whether it's a compliment or an insult.
* [[Implacable Man]]: The Mu combat androids are nearly indestructible. Oftentimes two or three ''infantry'' go into fights with hordes of enemy mecha. ''And win''.
Line 52:
* [[The Captain]]: Shaya's one, but it a fairly lax individual more concerned with traveling around, finding markets, and protecting Kei than imposing discipline
* [[Trapped in Another World]]: A world made up of many other worlds.
* [[What Do You Mean It's Not Awesome?]]: [[Two Words: Obvious Trope|Six words for you]]: Episode 25. ''Slow-motion bread tossing''. That is all.
* [[What Measure Is a Non-Human?|What Measure is a humanoid Non-Human]]: Of all the people in the series, those that treat Mohm the most like a useless piece of junk are her own kind, one robot deriding her as an outmoded maintenance robot that should be replaced. Compare that to how pretty much ''every'' human treats her as someone with her own thoughts and feelings.
=== ''Orguss 02'' contains examples of: ===
* [[A Mech
* [[The Constant]]: At first, just the space elevator (and Kei's old Orguss which gets salvaged and refurbished in the first episode). {{spoiler|Later, the Mu "Captain(Tai'i)" shows up, with a field promotion to "Colonel".}}
* [[Enigmatic Minion]]: Manning.
* [[Falling Into the Cockpit]]: Lean in the first episode, when he has to fight off an attacking mecha to save the cargo plane carrying Manning and his mentor Zante. (Manning was a qualified pilot, but his first plan was to just take the Decimator and run; this way, he can land the plane.)
* [[Not
* [[Obfuscating Stupidity]]: {{spoiler|Prince Parion feigns idiocy for the first few episodes of the OVA - until he orchestrates the murder of his half-brother and the [[Evil Chancellor]] who killed his father, assuming the throne himself. He then goes on to attempt a global [[Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds|omnicide]] using a [[Humongous Mecha]].}}
* [[Schizo-Tech]]
