Super Robot Wars Original Generation/Characters: Difference between revisions

{{work}}

 

 

=== Elzam von Branstein/Ratsel Feinschmeker (Voiced by [[Tetsu Inada]]) ===

 

His debut was popular enough to warrant him a place in the Alpha series ''despite'' appearing first in Original Generation, as his Ratsel persona (which is ''also'' the persona's debut!), though he did exist in the background of Alpha and even before then, a side-story called ''Super Robot Spirits''. So while he didn't debut in Original Generation at all, we just don't have a "Super Robot Spirits" category.

* [[Cool Horse]] (Trombe!)

* [[Expy]] (Mainly on [[Mobile Suit Gundam|Char]] [[Char Clone|Aznable]], but he also possesses similarities with [[Dynasty Warriors|Lu Bu]], whom he voices)

* [[Heterosexual Life Partners]], [[Ho Yay]] (With Sanger and causes this to be a [[Running Gag]] amongst fans)

** Taken [[Up to Eleven]] in the end credits of episode 15 of ''The Inspector''. [[Two Words]]: [[Loin Cloth]].

* [[I Call It Vera|I Call It Trombe]] (Pretty much whatever mech he's used...INCLUDING the Kurogane)

* [[Mechanical Horse]] (Aussenseiter Pferd Mode, a.k.a [[Fan Nickname|Dytrombe/Daitrombe]])

* [[Real Men Wear Pink|Real Men Are World Class Gourmet]] ([[Transforming Mecha|And Ride Each Other]])

* [[Shoot the Dog]] (Was forced to {{spoiler|kill his wife to save his home}})

** Banpresto seems to be getting a little tired of the glitch as well. Original Generation Gaiden's Free Battle Mode allows the player to force BGMs on battles, meaning the player has the power to (finally) override "Trombe".

 

* [[Break the Cutie]] (Until she escapes The School)

* [[Combination Attack]], [[Dancing Theme]] (Royal Heart Breaker)

* [[Fan Nickname]] (The Fairlion's often call ''Goth Lolion'')

* [[Fatal Attractor]] (Everyone near her always gets very bad situations: {{spoiler|her School friends die, Shine gets plugged into the GEIM System [[Brainwashed and Crazy]], Seolla put on lots of memory modifications and attacks her and Arado, Rai goes [[Not So Stoic]] when facing Archibald and almost gets killed, Ouka doing a [[Heroic Sacrifice]] and Lamia becoming the main victim of the ODE System}}. We'll see if whatever happens to Ryusei (crush) or Giado and Garnet (adoptive parents) can top all these)

* [[Nerd Glasses]] (Before her major [[Character Development]], she wore these; following that...)

* [[Meganekko]] (...she switches to a pair of these)

* [[Shrinking Violet]] (Pre-Ryusei)

* [[Transforming Mecha]] (She usually pilots Ryusei's old Wildraubtier when not in the Fairlion)

* [[The Woobie]] (After all [[Fatal Attractor|the crap]] [[Break the Cutie|she's been though]], you can't help but want to give her a hug)

=== Kai Kitamura (Voiced by Tadahisa Saizen) ===

[[File:193936258955480017.jpg|frame]]

 

The last of the elite alumnus of the Aggressors (including him, Sanger, Elzam and Gilliam), and is pretty much the one in the group who stays amongst the EFA while the others go their way and help in the shadows. Kai's a married man with a daughter and is known as a "Demon Instructor" for his nasty, but effective methods of training. He seems to be good friends with [[Super Robot Wars MX|Albero Esto]]. Currently, he's training the new generation of Aggressors, starting with Latooni and Rai, but after Original Generation 2, lets Rai go to work on the SRX more, while he drafts Lamia, Arado and Seolla.

{{hardline}}

* [[A Father to His Men]] (As of Original Generation Gaiden, Kai is the highest-ranking officer amongst the playable cast. As such, he takes the welfare of his soldiers VERY seriously. This attitude earns him the respect, admiration and love of those under his command, since they appreciate having such a hardened, professional veteran (not to mention a good man) watching out for them)

** [[Badass Normal]] (Doesn't need a [[Super Robot]] to kick your ass, let alone a fancy one-of-a-kind [[Super Prototype]]. Just give him a [[Redshirt Army|mass-produced]] [[Mecha Mook]] and some weapons, and he's good to go)

*** To elaborate, in Original Generation Gaiden, {{spoiler|he commandeers a [[Redshirt Army|mass-produced]] [[Real Robot|Gespenst MK II]] and goes against a rampaging, AI-controlled Wendigo [[Super Robot]]...using ''manual'' controls, without preset commands}}. [http://img188.imageshack.us/img188/3370/ogchronicle1230.jpg Here's just a demonstration] [http://img251.imageshack.us/img251/498/1250016824414.jpg of what he can do].

* [[Ensemble Darkhorse]] (Possibly the only pilot to be considered as badass as Elzam and Sanger by the fandom. And he does it in a GESPENST)

* [[Mecha Expansion Pack]] (The Gespenst MK II Custom in the ''Second Original Generation'' can interchange between equipment types. Katina and Russel's machines will share this ability, too)

* [[Team Dad]] (For the new Aggressors or even his fellow alumni)

 

=== Katina Tarask (Voiced by Asami Yaguchi) ===

[[File:206602632906482776.jpg|frame]]

 

Originally a fighter pilot assigned to the Hiryu Custom, she eventually acquires [[Super Robot Wars Compact 2|Kyosuke Nanbu's]] old [[Real Robot|Gespenst]] (and painted it red) after he got his Alt Eisen. She has two sides to her personality: (excited) angry and REALLY angry. She tends to display an inferiority complex about her piloting skill whenever anyone else is chosen to pilot a unique mech. Eventually pilots the [[Transforming Mecha|R-Gun]]...only to switch back to her good ol' Gespenst by the time of Original Generation 2. She is also one of the more easily-suspicious people amongst the crews: if the others gladly welcome someone who get a [[Heel Face Turn]], Katina's the first to say "Hey, think twice! He/she was an enemy! What if...", only to be rebuked back and she usually accepts them again. She leads the Octo Squad, which at first consists only her and subordinate Russel. She later drafts Tasuku Shinguji and Leona Garstein.

** To say nothing of one of the worst evade stats in the game, at least until she gets past level 17 or so. The trick is getting her ''to'' survive until that point.

** One way is to switch her into a [[Super Robot]], such as the Giganscudo. Since the Gigan is a monster of a tank, her low evasion stat becomes irrelevant.

* [[Leitmotif]]

* [[Mecha Expansion Pack]] (For her Gespenst MK II Custom in the ''Second Original Generation'')

* [[Running Gag]] (Always getting passed over for a chance to pilot whichever fancy new machine the Hiryuu crew get a hold of)

* [[Tsundere|Tsun]] ([[Averted Trope|No "dere" here, folks!]])

=== Russel Bagman (Voiced by Takashi Aoki) ===

[[File:196188058769515645.jpg|frame]]

 

Katina's loyal (some would say devoted) subordinate. Rather unremarkable in most repects otherwise, save for a very high defense stat and [[Diving Save]] abilities in-game that make him an excellent meat...err, "metal" shield. Where Katina goes, so will Russel.

* [[Ace Custom]] (Like Kai and Katina, Russel's set to receive the Gespenst MK II Custom, which uses 3 different frames, for the ''Second Original Generation''. Preliminary screenshots show he will use the Type-C)

* [[The Generic Guy]] (Quite possibly the most "normal" person in all of Original Generation. In addition, Russel is the only original character (sub-pilots excluded) who doesn't have a personal [[Leitmotif]]. Ironically, this makes him ''stand out'' to many fans)

* [[Mecha Expansion Pack]] (For his Gespenst MK II Custom in the ''Second Original Generation'')

* [[My Nayme Is]] (Although [http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Russel not entirely made up], his name's more typically spelled with two "l's")

* [[Taking the Bullet]] (Pretty much his stock in trade, game-wise)

* [[Only Sane Man]] (He looks like this at first, then you look at Russel's devotion to Katina and can't help but wonder just ''how'' sane he actually is)

* [[Stone Wall]] (Russel's defense stat is the best in the games)

* [[Subordinate Excuse]] (Kinda... sorta... maybe... [[Whatever]])

{{hardline}}

* [[Combination Attack]], [[Dancing Theme]] (Royal Heart Breaker)

* [[Ermine Cape Effect]] (Evident in Original Generation 2 for the GBA during her attack cut-ins; Original Generations retcons in giving her an actual piloting suit, but still customized for her)

* [[Hero Worshipper]] (Of Rai)

* [[Leitmotif]] ("Fairy Dancing")

* [[Ship Tease]] (Original Generations' version of the Royal Heart Breaker)

** Actually, some official art with her and Latooni are [[Les Yay|less than questionable...]]

** Actually, Shine's quite capable of piloting by herself. In ''The Inspector'', she fought against Ouka in the Rapiecage with the GEIM System activated and survived long enough to reach its operational limit.

 

[[File:roar.jpg|frame]]

 

 

 

{{spoiler|Kouta winds up reappearing in continuity, though is present in the ''[[Endless Frontier|Endless Frontier EXCEED]]'' spin-off sequel. However, he's placed in a supporting battle assist role. In the EXCEED drama CD that occurs prior to the game, [[Super Robot Wars Compact 2|Einst Alfimi]] is kidnapped by amoeba-like creatures and Axel Almer with Kouta dives head-on to save her. They instead wind up being transported to the Endless Frontier}}.

* [[The Archer]] (A new attack seen for Kouta as Fighter Roar in a new promotional video for the ''Second Original Generation'')

* [[Ascended Extra]]: Back in ''The Great Battle'', Warrior Roar was just an NPC who appear to revive the fallen Knight Gundam. He become playable in ''The Great Battle II''.

* [[Chest Blaster]] ((G) Compatible Kaiser's Kaiser Burst. Doubles as a [[Continuity Nod]]/[[Mythology Gag]], as the letters "BF" (Battle Force) are seen in the attack, which confirms this is the same Kaiser from ''Great Battle IV'')

* [[Combining Mecha]], [[Mecha Expansion Pack]] (With the G Thundergate, the Compatible Kaiser becomes the G Compatible Kaiser)

* [[Cool Board]] ("Battle Racer", Warrior Roar's flying surfboard from ''The Great Battle III'' will be part of Kouta's arsenal in the ''Second Original Generation'')

* [[Henshin Hero]]

* [[Ordinary High School Student]]

* [[Power Echoes]] (Variation: his voice has a noticeable reverb effect whenever he starts yelling)

* [[Rocket Punch]] (Compatible Kaiser's Spiral Knuckle; the G Compatible Kaiser's version clasps both hands as the Double Spiral Knuckle. Interestingly, the latter resembles the same named attack the [[Dangaioh]] has)

* [[Transformation Name Announcement]] (It's even part his name!)

* [[You Do NOT Want to Know]] (Inverted: Kisaburou was more than willingly to tell his grandson why he hid the news about Roar and the Kaiser, but Kouta isn't interested in hearing it; in fact, he doesn't want to get mixed up in "more annoying crap". Obviously, Kouta didn't know he had no choice later)

 

=== Daitetsu Minase (Voiced by [[Hidekatsu Shibata]]) ===

The [[Cool Old Guy]] amongst the originals, Daitetsu was originally the captain of the space-exploration ship ''Hiryu'' years before the events of the first game. After an encounter with the Aerogaters near Pluto, he's forced to retreat after being overpowered. This incident hovers over Daitetsu, as he swears he won't allow such an incident to happen again. By then, he's moved to a rank of commandant of a military academy, where he trains his future XO and protege Tetsuya Onodera, Lee Linjun and Lefina Einfeld. Just as he becomes captain of the newly christened ''Space-Noah'' class battleship ''Shirogane'' (with Tetsuya as his deputy), {{spoiler|Shu Shirakawa shoots it down with the Granzon during its maiden voyage}}. Despite two ship disasters on his record, Daitetsu's given command of the second ''Space-Noah'' battleship ''Hagane'' during the Divine Crusaders War. Fortunately, he has more success, as the ''Hagane'' single-handedly attacks DC headquarters and achieves total victory. Depending on which route you take in the game, the ''Hagane'' is either scuttled in order to infiltrate the White Star or assists the rebuilt ''Hiryu Custom'' in the assault.

 

{{hardline}}

* [[Badass Normal|Badass]] [[Badass Grandpa|Grandpa]] (Justified because he's got a granddaughter and a battle-hardened veteran)

* [[The Captain]]

* [[Cool Old Guy]] (Gains a lot of respect and admiration from the younger cast members. In fact, {{spoiler|a funeral is held following the [[Player Punch|tragic scenario]]. To that end, some of the character portraits has the originals crying, and even Elzam arrives ''in person'' rather than in his Ratsel persona, as visiting his funeral using his disguise, in his own words, is disgracing Daitetsu's memories}})

* {{spoiler|[[Killed Off for Real]]}}, {{spoiler|[[Last Breath Bullet]]}}

* {{spoiler|[[Retirony]]}} ({{spoiler|Should the campaign against the Divine Crusader Remnants be successful, Daitetsu would've retired from active duty and returned to the academy to train new recruits. Unfortunately...}})

Adjutant to Daitetsu, Tetsuya graduated from the military academy Daitetsu taught at. Placed second overall in his class, right behind Lee Linjun, but for reasons unexplained, he's chosen over the more-qualified Lee (on paper, at least) as Daitetsu's second-in-command. He survives the South Pole attack on the ''Shirogane'' and moves on to become the second-in-command of the ''Hagane'' during the first DC War. For the most part, Tetsuya acts like an overreactive, nervous rookie, serving as a form of comic relief amongst the originals. However, depending on the route played in Original Generation, {{spoiler|Tetsuya reveals himself as quite the brilliant tactician, seen with his strategy of using the recoil of the ''Hagane's'' [[BFG|Tronium Buster Cannon]] as a means of escaping from what would've been a suicide attack on the White Star}}.

 

 

Unlike Daitetsu, Tetsuya can't really hold his liquor well and gets drunk rather easily. He embodies these tropes:

* [[Bunny Ears Lawyer]] (Starts out the comic relief and nearly seems useless; hell, this is even reflected in his Spirit Command list. Then, when you least expect it, Tetsuya shows just why he graduated so high in his class)

* [[Can't Hold His Liquor]] (It's gotten to a point where he's mocked for having such low tolerance)

* [[New Meat]] (First the rookie, now ascended to [[The Captain]])

* [[Older Than They Look]] (He was ''29'' in the first game)

* [[Ramming Always Works]] (Subverts it in Original Generation, then plays it gloriously straight in the sequel)

* [[This Is a Drill]] (See Tetsuya's second CMOA)

 

=== Lefina Enfield (Vocied by [[Junko Iwao]]) ===

{{hardline}}

* [[Captain Ersatz]] (Lefina's very similar to [[Martian Successor Nadesico|Yurika Misumaru]], especially in regards to age and combat experience. What's more, both characters' battleships feature a gravity-based [[Wave Motion Gun]].

* [[The Woobie]] (Lefina has A LOT of self-confidence issues in the first half of Original Generation, to a point where she was ready to give up and run away from it all.

 

A former classmate of Tetsuya's, Lee functions as the semi-[[Evil Counterpart]] of Tetsuya in every way imaginable. His mannerisms in battle involve "following the book", to a point where it becomes painstakingly ridiculous. Lee also holds no care for his subordiantes, seeing them merely as pawns that are easily replaced. To that end, he holds a serious grudge against the participants of Operation SRW (which includes almost all the heroes; Tetsuya gets the brunt of his excuse). The reason? {{spoiler|his wife Cynthia (yes, a woman who actually LIKED Lee enough to marry him) and his parents were killed during the Beijing attack by the Aerogators. His result: [[Freudian Excuse|blame the heroes, NOT the invaders for his loss]]}}.

 

 

{{spoiler|Or so we thought: apparently, Original Generations simply has the ''Shirogane'' retreat, instead. As much as it's hard to believe that Lee can [[No One Could Survive That|survive a battleship-sized drill to the face]], expect him to return in some form or another in subsequent sequels}}.

{{hardline}}

* [[Jerkass]] [[The Neidermeyer|Neidermeyer]] (Lee takes these tropes and cranks it [[Up to Eleven]] and beyond. This troper has to wonder if he was solely created just so to be hated to death by players. If the answer's yes, then this troper has to say Banpresto ''overdid'' it, which says a lot)

* {{spoiler|[[Face Heel Turn]]}} (Although, in Lee's case, this may count as a subversion: {{spoiler|while not presented as a traditional "good guy" at the start, by mid-game, he decides to embrace his true villainy}})

* [[Hypocrite]] (Lee complains about being late to a rendevous with the ''Hagane'' because the ''Shirogane'' is damaged in one scenario. When the former does appear to offer aid, Lee criticizes Daitetsu for being careless. Somehow, his duties as a soldier apparently comes first)

* [[Psychic Powers]] (Subverted: even though {{spoiler|Radha was a test subject at the ICS}}, she never developed the same level of telekinetic powers other Psychodrivers exhibit. However, she does have a heightened sense of awareness compared to non-psychic pilots, but this doesn't qualify her as a Psychodriver)

* {{spoiler|[[Say My Name]]}} (Radha does this after {{spoiler|Cuervo Cero dies during the Earth Cradle's collapse}})

* [[Talking to Himself|Talking To Herself]] (Rei Sakuma also voices one of Masaki Andoh's familiar cats Kuro)

* [[Token Minority]] (She's Indian, and her nationality is reflected in her battle dialogues)

The last of the [[Super Robot Wars Alpha|Machinery Children]], Ing made his debut in an Alpha 2 side-story manga called ''Lost Children'' (but since this is his game debut, his entry will go here). Following the [[Super Robot Wars Alpha|Gan Eden's]] defeat, Ing awoke and found himself within a badly damaged Huckebein MK II. Having no idea who he was or where he had come from, Ing soon found himself under attack from the Alpha Numbers, specifically those who had went to the [[Bad Future]] via ''Alpha Gaiden''. When they saw his face, they realized he was one of the Machinery Children and kept labelling him as "Egret". Ing managed to hold back the Alpha Numbers and caused a huge explosion, allowing him to make a quick escape.

 

 

Ing will appear in the Second Original Generation piloting a custom EXbein called the Ashe (the EXbein having [[Canon Immigrant|first appeared in The Inspectors anime]]), who is seen fleeing Aidoneus Island.

{{hardline}}

* [[Bishonen]] (Very much so, which is strange when you consider {{spoiler|he's a clone of [[Idiot Hero|Arado]]}}

* [[Canon Immigrant]]

* [[Cloning Blues]]

* [[Super Prototype]] (The EXbein is the prototype unit for the Huckebein MK III, though we don't know yet if the Ashe is stronger; canonically, though, the Huckebein EX is weaker than the MK III)

** [[Ace Custom]] (The Ashe has been modified from the EXbein significantly, though it's probably because it was put together with a bunch of spare parts)

 

== Ariel Org (To be voiced by [[Yumiko Kobayashi]]) ==

* [[Become a Real Boy|Become A Real Girl]] (Was [[The Stoic]], but grows out of it)

* [[Expy]] (As of the Second Original Generation, the Flickerei Geist will be based off of data from the [[Super Robot Wars Compact 2|Alt Eisen]]. From a physical standpoint, the machine's pretty much what would happen if the Alt and [[Super Robot Wars Compact 2|Weiss Ritter]] had a baby)

** Personality and origin-wise, Ariel does have a similarity with Lamia Loveless...

* [[Meaningful Name]] ("Flickerei" means "patching/patchery" and "geist" is "ghost" in German. The Flickerei Geist is built using different parts from other Personal Troopers, namely those derived from the Gespenst line)

* [[Talking to Himself|Talking To Herself]] (Same voice actress as [[Super Robot Wars Alpha|Ryoto Hikawa]], except this time it isn't a [[Cross Dressing Voice]])

The Divine Crusaders are built by Bian Zoldark, a genius scientist and father of Lune Zoldark, assisted by Shu Shirakawa. While they seem like a bunch of rebels, Bian made sure they follow his ethics and true nature: strengthen the Earth so they can prepare for upcoming alien invasions. After Bian dies, however, the group has a severe [[Motive Decay]] and forms the "Neo Divine Crusaders" in Original Generation 2, which try to topple the current government time to time, some with honor, some with petty reasons. Notable members include Colonel Van Vat Tran, [[Ascended Fanboy|Tenzan]] [[Evil Counterpart|Nakajima]], [[Roaring Rampage of Revenge|Tempest Hawker]], [[Mad Scientist|Adler Koch]], Archibald Grims (though he eventually strikes on his own) and Agilla Setme. It also employs the Troye Unit, an [[Amazon Brigade]] from the United Colony Corps, which Leona Garstein used to be a member of.

 

 

=== Tenzan Nakajima (Voiced by Yasuhiko Kawazu) ===

{{spoiler|During the final battle in the White Star, upon defeat, Tenzan finally regains the last memory of his life as Tenzan Nakajima: getting ready for the Burning PT finals. Unfortunately, he dies ''again'', leaving a further impact on Ryusei's view of the world}}. Tenzan embodies these tropes:

 

* [[Ax Crazy]] ({{spoiler|When piloting the Valsion Custom and as Gaza Haganer}})

* {{spoiler|[[Brainwashed and Crazy]]}} (Variation while {{spoiler|piloting the Valsion Custom: Tenzan wasn't exactly brainwashed; just plain crazy}}. Played straight when {{spoiler|he's resurrected as Gaza}})

* [[Evil Counterpart]] (Tenzan's essentially what Ryuusei would've turned into had the latter not learned to separate fiction from reality, specifically the harsh consequences of war, and matured as a person)

* [[Fat Bastard]] (His portrait gives him the vibes that he's plump or fat. And boy, is he a huge jerkwad)

* [[I Know Mortal Kombat]]

* [[Kick the Dog]] ({{spoiler|Reveals to Ryuusei that Latooni was a member of the School and brings up how she was essentially Adler Koch's play-experiment. It was enough for Ryuusei's [[Berserk Button]] to be pressed when he finds this out and gives Tenzan a piece of his mind}})

=== Archibald Grims (Voiced by [[Takumi Yamazaki]]) ===

[[File:197595433653076642.jpg|frame]]

 

A Neo Divine Crusaders commander who debuts in Original Generation 2. His top subordinates are Yuuki Jaggar and Carla Borgnine, although he briefly serves as commander to Arado Balanga and Seolla Schweitzer. Archibald seems like a more mild-mannered person with a cunning personality. In reality, {{spoiler|he's an [[Ax Crazy]] terrorist of the Elpis Incident. He set off a poison gas in the docking bay of the Elpis colony that forced Elzam von Branstein to kill his wife Cattleya. Archibald takes great pleasure in killing anything he sees, be it innocent or not}}. This causes some tension between him and those serving under him early on over military strategy, until {{spoiler|Archibald joins up with the Shadow-Mirror and seriously injures Neo DC leader Colonel Van}}. During the final showdown in the Earth Cradle, {{spoiler|Archibald reveals he was in fact hired by the ''real'' mastermind behind the Elpis Incident, Karl Scheltesman, of the EOTI Council. Said event was supposed to keep the colonies under Federation control rather than securing their independence. This confession, in an attempt to save his own life, horrendously backfires and is killed in a tag-team assault by the Branstein brothers}}.

 

{{hardline}}

* [[Ace Custom]] ("Gravilion", an exclusive towering [[Super Robot]] in ''The Inspectors'' during [[The Federation]]'s re-taking of Riksent, complete with [[Sphere of Destruction]], [[Chest Blaster]] and [[Macross Missile Massacre]])

* [[Ax Crazy]] [[Complete Monster]] doing it [[For the Evulz]]

* [[Evil Brit]] (With an [[Evil Laugh]], no less)

* [[Hannibal Lecture]] (Attempts a few of these over the course of ''Original Generation 2''. They all fail miserably)

* {{spoiler|[[Killed Off for Real]]}}

* [[The Man Behind the Man]] (Inversion: Archibald was, in fact, {{spoiler|[[The Dragon]] to the real mastermind of the Elpis Incident}})

* [[Retcon]] (In ''Original Generation 2'', Archibald pilots an Ashsaber given to him by the {{spoiler|Shadow-Mirror during his last stand in the Earth Cradle}}. In ''Original Generations'', he pilots a Giganspada, a sister mech to the Giganscudo Tasuku pilots)

* [[Psycho for Hire]]

 

=== Ouka Nagisa (Voiced by [[Michiko Neya]]) ===

Once known as ''Aurum 1'', the first of the children at The School. During her time there, she befriends three younger children: Bronzo 27 and 28 (Seolla and Arado) and Latooni 11. She's one of the few remaining children after The School was shut down, and stays with researchers Aguila Setme and Cuervo Sero.

 

 

 

Tropes associated with Ouka are:

* [[BFG]] (Rapiecage's Over Oxtongue Launcher)

* [[Brainwashed and Crazy]]

* {{spoiler|[[Heroic Sacrifice]]}} ( {{spoiler|Brought on because she was [[Too Cool to Live]]}})

* [[Leitmotif]] (''Ouka Genei'')

* [[Meaningful Name]] (Rapiecage means "patchwork" in French. The machine was created from combat data taken from the Alt Eisen, Weiss Ritter, Wild Wurger and Wild Falken. This is shown in the arsenal the mecha carries)

* [[Super Prototype]] (In terms of being the eldest of The School children and getting the neato Rapiecage)

 

== Wodan Ymir (Voiced by [[Kenichi Ono]]) ==

* '''[[Badass]]'''

* {{spoiler|[[Become a Real Boy]]}}

* [[Continuity Nod]] (Wodan's introduction on the Space Route of ''Original Generation 2'': {{spoiler|he attacks [[Super Robot Wars Alpha|Tasuku Shinguji]] and injures him. Sanger did the exact same thing when he announced [[Face Heel Turn|he has sided with the Divine Crusaders]] in ''Original Generation''}})

* {{spoiler|[[Dying Moment of Awesome]]}}

* {{spoiler|[[Healing Factor]], [[Good Thing You Can Heal]]}} (Courtesy of {{spoiler|Machine Cells}})

* {{spoiler|[[Heroic Sacrifice]]}}

* [[Mask Power]]

* [[Mythology Gag]] (Wodan is this, in a nutshell: not only {{spoiler|is his default [[Super Robot]] the original mech of Sanger, but his outfit's exactly the same as his in Alpha Gaiden (aside from the mask)}}. To top it off, {{spoiler|Wodan's default theme is Sanger's first [[Leitmotif]], "The Gate of Magus"}}. Long story short, {{spoiler|he's basically an excuse to have both an ''Alpha Gaiden'' Sanger and ''Alpha 2''/''Original Generation'' Sanger in the same game}})

** [[Necessarily Evil|Necessary Evil]]?

* [[Samurai]] (Murata)

 

----

== ODE ==

 

 

** [[Stupid Evil]] (A system supposedly protecting humanity forces people to ''give up'' their humanity; where's the logic in that??)

* [[All Your Base Are Belong to Us]] (Biggest modus operandi, which eventually leads to...)

* [[Big Bad Wannabe]](" {{spoiler|Yay, I killed Lamia!...Wait a minute, what!? Duminuss killed me just after that!? And I even failed to completely kill Lamia after all!?}}")

* [[Easily Forgiven]] (This is the EFA they're facing: they killed one of their best friends and their reaction is mostly "Poor Juergen, he's no longer himself?" Compared to what they said to Archibald...)

* [[Instrumentality]]

* [[Knight Templar]]

 

== Beowulf (Voiced by [[Toshiyuki Morikawa]]) ==

Kyosuke Nanbu of the Shadow-Mirror [[Alternate Universe]] and captain of the Beowulves Gespenst squadron, under the designation "Beowulf". According to Axel Almer, who used to fight alongside with him in [[The Federation]], Beowulf was identical to Original Generation's Kyosuke and shared many personality traits (unwavering determination, stoicism, leadership qualities, etc.), except somewhere along the line, he went [[Ax Crazy]], rambling on about world destruction and its rebirth. This is what led to Axel defecting and joining the Shadow-Mirror, and the rivalry between him and his former comrade.

 

 

As the Shadow-Mirror were ready to jump to the Original Generation universe, Axel was left to fend the Beowulves off at the Tesla Leicht Institute. While the [[Game Boy Advance]] version of ''Original Generation 2'' told little of Axel's fight, the ''[[Endless Frontier|Super Robot Wars OG Saga: Endless Frontier]]'' drama CD and subsequent ''The Inspectors'' tells us Axel manages to wipe out the Beowulves singlehandedly and face the mad Beowulf. Although Axel comes out the loser, he [[Victorious Loser|annouces his victory for having stalled enough time for his allies to escape to the other side]]. This leaves Beowulf screaming in rage of his defeat, despite having beaten Axel.

* [[Evil Twin]]

* [[Foe Yay]], with loads of [[Say My Name]] ('''AXEL ALMER!!!''')

* [[Omnicidal Maniac]]: His motive.

* [[Psychotic Smirk]]: [http://gallery.gt-forum.com/d/5716-1/Beowulf.jpg Rather disturbing] to see [[The Stoic|Kyosuke]] with one of these.

One of the first Banpresto Original character, first appear as [[Big Bad]] in ''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TStgcNJd6vE SD Hero Soukesen]'' which later got sequel known as ''The Great Battle''. He is now the [[Big Bad]] of Original Generation Gaiden. Dark Brain is a being of negative emotions and the arch-nemesis of the original Roar. Badly beaten in the events of ''Great Battle IV'', it sought to materialize in the Original Generation universe, sending Duminuss to look for the "Twelve Keys" to let him materialize and claim the Emi Armor so she can be manipulated. Dark Brain successfully enters, however, he ignores Duminuss' claim for help and destroys it, marking it a failure. He's soundly beaten by the EFA, but he won't be gone for long...AsLongAsThereIsEvil. Tropes associated with Dark Brain:

 

* [[Big Bad]]

* [[Cosmic Horror]] (It looks like a [[Humongous Mecha]], but beneath that armor lies a real [[Body Horror]])

* [[The Heartless]]

* [[Multiversal Conqueror]] (Subversion: he isn't into conquering universes, and would render dimensions into a cinder, if only just to find one of the 12 Keys)

* [[You Have Outlived Your Usefulness]] (Said to Duminuss)

 

* [[A God Am I]]

* [[Artificial Human]] (The second of two subjects from the Idealants Project)
