Super Robot Wars R/Characters: Difference between revisions

Six months later during ''Original Generation Gaiden'', during a clash between [[Super Robot Wars Original Generation/Characters|Kouta Azuma]] and his [[Brainwashed and Crazy]] sister Shouko, the energies from the Compatible Kaiser and G Thundergate pop open a wormhole with Fiona and her Excellence coming out from it. While Raul catches up Fiona with current events, Duminuss' kidnaps Raji and Mizuho. In response, he and Fiona take their machines to battle the creature and rescue them both, {{spoiler|alongside saving Duminuss' surviving Homunculi Despinis}}. Raul's story ends with him dismantling his Excellence, citing the Time Flow Engine is too dangerous and something like Duminuss will come again with hopes to seize the Engine and misuse it. Opting to open a junkyard/mechanic shop called "L&E Corporation" {{spoiler|and taking in Despinis as a family member}}, Raul continues to become a test pilot for Mizuho's new rescue-oriented robotics.

* [[Call Back]]: In Scenario 27 for ''Original Generation Gaiden'', Raul notes the environment is the same when they were attacked by Axel and Duminuss back in their world. ''Original Generation Gaiden'' reused the same map from ''Original Generations''.

* [[Chest Blaster]]: Excellence Lightning's Black Sun.

Her story starts out the same as Raul in ''Original Generations'', but after being thrown into the dimensional gate, Fiona vanishes and isn't seen again for an entire game. Come ''Original Generation Gaiden'', when the clash between the Compatible Kaiser's Overgate Engine and the G Thundergate opens up a wormhole, out pops Fiona, starving and still injured from taking the attack meant for Raul by Duminuss. Thanks to the interference of {{spoiler|Axel and [[Super Robot Wars Compact 2/Characters|Einst Alfimi]]}}, Raul hauls her for medical attention aboard the Kurogane. After being caught up with the fact she's in an [[Alternate Dimension]] and learning Raji and Mizuho are kidnapped by Duminuss, Fiona takes to the battlefield to assault Duminuss and continue to be at her brother's side. With Duminuss defeated, Fiona dismantles her Excellence, agreeing the Time Flow Engine is still yet an unstable piece of technology, and opens the "L&E Corporation" (named by her after the Lightning and Eternal frames) with Raul as another test pilot for Mizuho, although Dr. Marion Radom states she wants to build something for Fiona that's better than the Excellence.

* [[Crucified Hero Shot]]: Excellence Eternal's Final Grand Cross.

** Technically subverted, because she doesn't do this pose while doing her [[Heroic Sacrifice]]: she pulls it out after surviving all those hijinx with the Eternal frame. A case can also be made that the Final Grand Cross is a [[Shout-Out]] to [[Detonator Orgun]]'s Grand Cross attack.

Tropes associated with Raji:

* [[Ascended Extra]]: Promoted from a non-playable side-character in Reversal to a sub-pilot in Original Generation.

* [[Heroic Second Wind]]: ''In a way'': basically, when Duminuss appears for the near-last time in Reversal, it's really joyous that not even the Round Knights can stop it from getting what it wants. Suddenly, Raji makes his "malfunction" on the second Time Flow Engine work, Duminuss gets horribly wounded and the tables are turned to the Round Knights' favor.

Tropes associated with Mizuho:

* [[Ascended Extra]]: Like Raji, Mizuho rises from side-character status in Reversal to Fiona's sub-pilot in Original Generation.

* [[Dead Little Sister|Dead Parents]]: Her parents were killed in a fire since available rescue equipment were unable to withstand the intense heat. She joins the Excellence team since the project's initial goal is to create the ultimate rescue mecha.

* [[Wrench Wench]]: May double as [[The Blacksmith]], having crafted the [[Mecha Expansion Pack]]s for the Excellence.

[[File:duminussfamily.jpg|frame|Ah, such a happy family...]]

The antagonists of ''[[Super Robot Wars Reversal]]'', consisting of three little kids and a giant pink blob for a parent.

=== Duminuss (Voiced by Atsuko Hayama) ===

Not in ''Original Generation Gaiden'', however, where Duminuss is changed into a [[Smug Snake]] that doesn't even care for its creations. It's also revealed it's created by {{spoiler|the Dark Brain, who proceeds to say Duminuss is the failure and destroys it right off the bat after meeting}}.

* [[Anti-Villain]] [[Big Bad]]: Reversal version; many REALLY got too touched with the kids' [[Tear Jerker|heart-wrenching]] sacrifice to the point one has to wonder "THIS is the ''[[Big Bad]]'' of the game?". Some players went to the extremes and were unable to finish the game because they just can't bear to see the heart-wrenching sacrifice go in vain.

** ''Original Generation Gaiden'' threw all of this out the window, though.

The pink-haired homunculus of Duminuss, the leader between the team. Impulsive and hot-headed for a loli, and apparently [[Pettanko|super sensitive about her boobs]] (in fact, her wish if she ever gets revived is to get a body with large breasts). In Reversal, she makes contact with [[Zambot 3|the Gaizock Empire]]; in Original Generation, she handles the Chimera or the Space Flounder monsters, as well ensuring the G Thundergate is still in their possession.

* [[Cute Bruiser]]: More so than the rest of her allies. In Reversal, she and her homunculus siblings fought the [[G Gundam|Shuffle Alliance]] ''to a standstill''...in '''unarmed combat'''.

* [[Draco in Leather Pants]]: Despite being outright cruel, her [[Moe]] look keeps enough of a fanbase.

Her personality, however, ends up giving her a ''good'' tweak in Original Generation, where {{spoiler|she's the only homunculus spared from demise, unlike her siblings who are consumed against their will by Duminuss, who in turns got splattered to death by the Dark Brain. She ends up getting adopted to the Gureden family, though this doesn't fix her shyness}}.

* [[Apologises a Lot]], [[Apologetic Attacker]]

* {{spoiler|[[Heel Face Turn]]}}: Original Generation only.

The only male homunculus, he's the middle ground between Tis and Despinis. He contacts the [[Chars Counterattack|Neo Zeon]] in Reversal and usually takes a more active stance in battle. In Original Generation, however, he rarely heads to the battlefield and [[Demoted to Extra|seemingly gets shafted to the sidelines]]...

* [[Cross-Dressing Voices]]

* [[Cute Shotaro Boy]]

* [[Demoted to Extra]]: [[Memetic Mutation|Yes, we know, Laliar...and we're sorry]].

* [[Knight in Shining Armor]]: Always acts like this toward his homunculi siblings. It isn't unusual for him to hold off the heroes so Tis and Despinis can escape.

* [[Spell My Name with an "S"]]: Is it Ralia, Lalia or Laliar?

* [[Swords Akimbo]], [[Blade on a Stick]]: Hypocrisis sports four arms, all of them holding a sword each during one attack. Hypocrisis also wields several spears as its armament.
