->Baiman voiced by: Creator/KanetoShiozawa ([=OVAs=]), Creator/YasuyukiKase (''Sunrise Eiyuudan'' series), Creator/WataruTakagi (''Votoms'' [[UsefulNotes/PlayStation2 PS2]] game), Creator/IsshinChiba (''VideoGame/SuperRobotWars'' series)

* AlmightyJanitor: Officially, he's only a private. However, he ends up going up against former higher-ranking officers and proving himself a more capable soldier in spite of all the handicaps he's bogged with.

* MentorOccupationalHazard: [[spoiler:Completely averted. Not only does he survive the events of the original series, he's happily retired the sequel OVAs set three decades later.]]

!!Col. Jean-Paul Rochina/[[spoiler:Kotta Luske]]

* AmbiguousDisorder: "Psychologically troubled" indeed.

* WeaponOfChoice: Unless he's got no choice but to use another AT type (like when escaping from an enemy base and needing to steal a ride) he'll use a Scopedog. If the environment isn't suited for the standard type, he'll use a variant modified for that instead. Although he's proficient in all the Scopedog's armaments, his favored weapon is the heavy assault rifle. If he can't use that due to weight reasons, like when needed to make his AT as light as possible or when the water proofing equipment made it heavy enough as it was, he'll opt for the smaller sub-machine gun instead.

!!Radaa Niva

* CruelAndUnusualDeath: Rather than simply being shot or blown up, Shako and Chirico pin his mech in place, lock their braking claws, and ''run away'', leaving the semi-crushed Radaa to die in his battleship's explosion.

%% Doesn't explain what the reaction is. * Berserk Button: The Red Shoulders as a whole are this to him.

* BerserkButton: The Red Shoulders as a whole are this to him.

** [[spoiler:YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness]]: [[spoiler: Wiseman kills him shortly after this happens.]]

* HateSink: An unsympathetic asshole who treats Proto-One-aka Fyana-like crap. And that doesn't even begin to cover what he did to Chirico in the first season.

* [[spoiler:HighHeelFaceTurn]]

* [[spoiler:ShutUpHannibal]]:[[spoiler:Chirico turns down his offer.]]

* Don'tYouDarePityMe!: [[spoiler:Murza:]]
--->[[spoiler:'''Murza''': I don't want sympathy, but I refuse to fight with ''someone'' who can't understand another ''man's pain.'']]

* [[spoiler:TheChosenOne]]

* [[spoiler: FaceHeelTurn]]: [[spoiler: Subverted. It turns out he was just pretending to be a bad guy in order to get near Wiseman and destroy him]].

* [[spoiler:{{Ubermensch}}]]: Despite being the one destined to [[spoiler:be God]], instead he [[spoiler:[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XSONA-fwT4c killed the Evil God despite the power he offered]]]]; his battle's a pretty clear allegory for the differences between the Ubermensch and the Last Man.

* [[spoiler:WalkingTheEarth]]: After ''Shining Heresy'', his stories always end like this.

* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Downplayed. While non natural hair colors are normal in the setting, Chirico's blue stands out because [[spoiler:Children of God, and so far, ONLY Children of God, have all had blue hair]].

* [[spoiler:ArtificialHuman]]: [[spoiler:Very strongly implied to one. The possibility of him being an incredibly long lived Perfect Soldier is even brought up on more than one occasion.]]

* [[spoiler:HumanPopsicle]]: Chooses to become one at the end of the TV series, to wait for a world without war with [[spoiler:Fyana]].

** CurtainsMatchTheWindow

* NervesOfSteel

* [[spoiler:TokenMinorityCouple]]: Coconna eventually [[spoiler:marries Vanilla, and they have 6 PatchworkKids.]]

* [[spoiler:DisneyVillainDeath]]: Courtesy of Shako.
* [[spoiler:FaceHeelTurn: To basically no one's surprise.]]

* KickTheDog: He shoots down a civillian boat thinking they are Veela spies.

* [[spoiler: VillainTeamUp: With [[Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann Viral]], [[Anime/{{Xabungle}} Timp]] and [[Anime/TheBigO Beck]] in Saisei-Hen]]

* [[spoiler:SuddenSequelDeathSyndrome]]: Potaria becomes president sometime between the series and ''Phantom Arc'' and tries to carry out his vision, [[spoiler:only to become the object of a coup d'etat and crushed to death.]]

* CosmicLotteryWinner: Mellowlink is ''insanely'' lucky, even described as such during the final episode. However, unlike Chirico [[spoiler: he doesn't have a milennia-old supercomputer backing him up, nor does he have a HealingFactor beyond that of a normal person.]]

* PayEvilUntoEvil: Sure, his methods are brutal, but the melkian officers he targets are often shown to be complete scumbags.
* RoaringRampageofRevenge: The entire plot of his OVA. Unlike Chirico, his targets are individuals who screwed him (and his platoon) over, so the body count he's personally responsible for over the whole OVA probably adds up to around that of one episode of the original series.

* [[spoiler:StuffedIntoTheFridge]]: Literally. In ''Shining Heresy'' ep. 5, we're told that [[spoiler:PS's have an average lifespan of 2 years, and Chirico knew at the end of the TV series that her time was almost up so they froze in order to stay together forever.]] They were awakened early and had time to reunite [[spoiler:[[TearJerker for all of 30 seconds]]]].

After ''Roots of Treachery'', Chirico is transferred to a [[FiveManBand new unit]] of people who have a high survivability. [[spoiler: Little do they know that it's Wockam's experiment to test the validity of Pailsen's unique survivalist research.]]
