Viewtiful Joe/Characters: Difference between revisions

* [[Calling Your Attacks]]

* [[Cartoon Bomb]]: Shocking Pink.

* [[Chivalrous Pervert]]: {{spoiler|Junko}} reveals to Silvia in ''Double Trouble'' that Joe's been skirt-chasing behind her back on a few occasions. Silvia does not enjoy this fact one bit.

** Joe showed some tendencies for this back in the second game, where he continued to hit on Miss Bloody Rachel ''in front of'' Silvia. It was only through Silvia's continued threats (of both the verbal and physical variety) that Joe kept himself in check.

* [[Playing With Fire]]: Red Hot Kick, when Zoomed in.

** Also, Mach Speed, [[Battle Aura|once Joe gets going]].

** In ''Double Trouble'', this is replaced by the V.F.O. ([[Fun With Acronyms|Viewtiful Flying Object]]), which instead [[Ray Gun|fires lasers]].

* [[Red Oni, Blue Oni|Red Oni to Captain Blue and Captain Blue Jr.'s Blue]]: [[Colour-Coded for Your Convenience|They even wear the appropriate colors]].

* [[Redheaded Hero]]

* [[Robosexual]]: A possibility, given his admiration of Miss Bloody Rachel in ''2''.

* [[Super Speed]]: Mach Speed.

** [[Doppelganger Attack]]

** [[Combination Attack]]: The second stage move creates [[Heart Symbol|a giant heart]] [[The Power of Love|that damages all enemies on-screen]]. The third and final stage is [[BFS|Six Cannon]].

* [[Too Slow]]: His dodge quote is an appropriately mocking "You're too slow!"

* [[Meganekko]]

* [[Ms. Fanservice]]

* [[Nerds Are Sexy]]: This is why she's called [[Meaningful Name|Sexy Silvia]].

* [[Rapunzel Hair]]: In Hero mode.

* [[She's Got Legs]]

* [[Shock and Awe]]: Cool Blue Kick when Zoomed in, as well as the [[Battle Aura|aftereffects]] of Replay.

* [[Spell My Name With an "S"]]: Frequently misspelled as Sylvia. Even ''[[Marvel vs. Capcom 3 (Video Game)|Marvel vs. Capcom 3]]'' makes this mistake.

* [[Stripperiffic]]: Despite the perpetual [[Panty Shot]] (either that or [[Underwear of Power]]; Silvia's undergarments are clearly visible underneath her skirt), her default costume is actually modest. During boss battles, however, the getup turns into a [[Bare Your Midriff|midriff-baring]] bikini and hot pants combo.

* [[Tsundere]]

* [[What the Hell, Hero?]]: Tells Joe he "was so busy showing off, he hardly even thought about (her)" when he reaches her.

* [[Large Ham]]

* [[Rhino Rampage]]

'''Aquatic Terror, Gran Bruce'''

'''Joe:''' "Gum! G. U. M. Gum! [[Gosh Darn It to Heck]], do I have to spell it out on a chalkboard for you!?"<br />

'''Gran Bruce:''' "Yeah, so?" }}

* [[Underwater Boss Battle]]: He often raises the water to cover part or all of the arena.

* [[What an Idiot!]]: In-universe. Joe even says so after he [[Just Between You and Me|tells him Jadow's entire plan]] while stammering and stuttering, thinking about how to threaten Joe.

* [[Large and In Charge]]/[[Attack of the 50 Foot Whatever]]

* [[Reality Warper]]

* [[Shock and Awe]]

* [[Mayincatec]]

* [[Punny Name]]: Flintstone.

* [[Snot Bubble]]

* [[Voluntary Shapeshifting]]

* [[Costume Copycat]]: Assumes the form of Silvia and seduces Joe after the battle with Frost Leo to steal their Rainbow Oscars.

* {{spoiler|[[Defeat Means Friendship]]}}

* [[FemBot]]

* {{spoiler|[[Heel Face Turn]]}}

* {{spoiler|[[Mechanical Evolution]]: She gains a heart after battling Joe and Silvia.}}

* [[Everything's Squishier With Cephalopods]]

* [[Evil Genius]]

* [[Mad Scientist]]: His [[Boss Subtitles|title]] even says so.

* [[Punny Name]]: A play on Kraken and crank.

* [[She's Got Legs]]

* [[Shock and Awe]]

* [[Super-Powered Evil Side]]: To Vanilla after she lost her hero-ness {{spoiler|but not really evil at all}}.

* [[White-Haired Pretty Girl]]

* [[Woman in White]]

* [[Bash Brothers]]

* [[Dual Boss]]

* {{spoiler|[[Fake Defector]]}}

'''Blade Master Alastor'''

** {{spoiler|[[Voluntary Shapeshifting]]: Underworld Emperor Alastor can--understandably so--assume the form of himself (as in, Alastor the Devil Arm), although he only demonstrates this in the cutscene prior to your battle with him, in which he attempts to skewer Joe in the same way he [[Impaled With Extreme Prejudice]] Dante in his debut.}}

* [[Anti-Villain]] ([[Sliding Scale of Anti-Villains|Type I]])

* [[Friendly Enemy]]: To Joe in the anime.

* [[Genre Savvy]]: To the point of ''[[Leaning On the Fourth Wall|taking out a copy of the first game's script and reading from it]]'' before his battle with Joe.

* [[Henshin Hero|Henshin Villain]]

* [[Horned Humanoid]]: Subverted. They're a merely a feature of his helmet, not an actual part of his anatomy.

* [[Punch Clock Villain]]: Goes hand-in-hand with his [[Blood Knight]] status. As he states in the first game, he really doesn't care about Jadow's plans and only relishes the chance to face strong opponents such as Joe.

* [[Recurring Boss]]: The only to show up in all of the games, in fact.

* [[The Rival]]

* [[Shock and Awe]]

* [[Spin Attack]]: Vortex.

* [[Staying Alive]]: No matter what the [[Unreliable Narrator|narrator]] tells you, Alastor is never dead.

* [[Hired Guns]]: Makes a few snippy remarks about {{spoiler|Blue creating a new threat for Dante to face at the end of the game (thus, "extending the contract")}}, but ultimately notes that this isn't the first time he's done a job for free.

* [[Master Swordsman]]

* [[Rule of Funny]]: His [[Secret Character|appearance]] can be chalked up to this. If you can read between the lines, it's almost as if Hideki Kamiya (who helmed both the original ''DMC'' and ''Viewtiful Joe'') took the time to insert several [[Take That|Take Thats]] and [[Discontinuity Nod|Discontinuity Nods]] to ''Devil May Cry 2''.

* [[Stripperiffic]]: [[Underwear of Power|A black speedo]] [[Walking Shirtless Scene|as his non-henshin mode.]] Dante muses that his contact Enzo must've stolen his clothes again as a rib on Dante's [[The Stoic|characterization]] in ''DMC2''.

* [[Rapunzel Hair]]

* [[She's Got Legs]]

'''Cordinator Sprocket'''
