** In the manga, [[spoiler:his last action before taking Zearth into battle is to be [[BrutalHonesty completely straightforward]] with the upcoming pilots about how their fight is absolutely ''not'' a game, that there ''will'' be collateral damage and dead civilians, and about how the power Zearth grants them to protect their world will ultimately take their lives in exchange. You know, all the things Kokopelli '''should''' have given the previous pilots a heads-up on]]?

* TheNeedsOfTheMany: He follows a particularly twisted and disingenuous variant of this trope, saying that 10,000 casualties are a small price to pay to save the other 10 billion humans on Earth. He gets called on this by Komo(in the anime) and Nakama(in the manga) who say ''every'' life has value.

* JerkAss: While he seems more pathetic than anything, he looks down on Kirie so that he will have someone to look down on, and when the time comes to fight, he's far more concerned about his own safety.

* YourCheatingHeart: In the anime, he has an affair that is used against him in an attempt to discredit the plans to go live about Zearth..

* TomatoInTheMirror: She is Koyemshi's little sister)

* {{Asexual}}

* NotFunnyAnymore: In the manga, Machi says the kids might have assassins sent after them, which is considered as a passing comment making some black humor about the situation. She's shot to death some episodes later, and Koyemshi has to kill her to ease her suffering.]]

** Also his CrowningMomentOfAwesome and ShutUpHannibal scene. Annoying part is [[spoiler:that it turned out to be non-lethal]].

* OutOfFocus: In the anime. She didn't received as much attention as other pilots during her episode, which focused a great deal of time on the media exploits regarding Zearth. Her TWO crowning moments of awesome were also missing on the adaptation.
