-->'''Tongpu:''' Lleeet's partyyyy!

* DeflectorShields: He's surrounded by a personal force field that deflects bullets and explosions the mechanics of which aren't entirely clear, but seem to be based around blocking anything moving at a certain rate of speed. It makes him essentially invincible as anything that isn't stopped by it he's fast or tough enough to dodge or block it... so long as he's not distracted.

* AlasPoorVillain: He's a remorseless mass murderer, but it's hard not to feel sorry for him when, after he's been hurt for the first time, his mind regresses to a child's, and he starts crying for his mother [[spoiler:until he's crushed by the theme park's parade]]. Even Spike seems too disturbed to take advantage of the opportunity he created using the knife The saddest thing is, it's not evenhis fault he is the way he is.

** The really sad thing is, it's not really his fault he is the way he is.

* ForWantOfANail: After wrecking Faye's ship and Spike's ship being damaged by the bounty hunters he fought in the diner, Decker had a chance to get away clean. All he had to do is keep a low profile and not be noticed. Instead he crashed into Otto (one of V.T.'s friends) while cutting ahead of the line to leave the area and drove off. This gets Otto to talk about him and his truck, which in turn causes V.T. to take notice of him, chase him, and tell the Bebop crew about his location.

* TruthInTelevision: {{Gynecomastia (men growing breasts)}} is an actual condition that can be caused by altering the body's hormone levels, and one way to alter them is indeed drugs.

* TruthInTelevision: [spoiler:Gynecomastia (men growing breasts)]] is an actual condition that can be caused by altering the body's hormone levels, and one way to alter them is indeed drugs.

* {{Foreshadowing}}: His [[spoiler:death]] hits at episode 13, halfway through the series, [[spoiler:and is presented in a similar manner with a music montage over a panning shot of the stars. Episode 26 has Spike facing an identical outcome with his [[UncertainDoom supposed death]] after defeating Vicious, complete with a matching Laughing Bull scene, and the panning musical shot of the stars. Gren even kills Lin who [[TakingTheBullet died protecting Vicious]], while Lin's brother Shin [[HeroicSacrifice dies identically for Spike's sake.]]]]

* {{Foreshadowing}}: His [[spoiler:death]] hits at episode 13, halfway through the series, [[spoiler:and is presented in a particularly spiritual matter by Laughing Bull's tradition that affects Spike personally as a major casualty of the Syndicate plotline, with a music montage over a panning shot of the stars. Episode 26 has Spike facing an identical outcome with his [[UncertainDoom supposed death]] after defeating Vicious, complete with a matching Laughing Bull scene, and the panning musical shot of the stars. Gren even kills Lin who [[TakingTheBullet died protecting Vicious]], while Lin's brother Shin [[HeroicSacrifice dies identically for Spike's sake.]]]]

* MrFanservice: An interesting case, sharing a lot of qualities one would more expect of a MsFanservice. He gets a ShowerScene where we see he has fully developed breasts and a fairly feminine figure due the drugs he was forced to take. He also has quite the {{bishonen}}, effeminate appearance to him.

* StabTheScorpion: A flashback to Titan shows Vicious doing this one to Gren. Subverted in that, well, Vicious isn't someone you should trust regardless.

* TruthInTelevision: Gynecomastia (men growing breasts) is an actual condition that can be caused by altering the body's hormone levels, and one way to alter them is indeed drugs.

* AmbiguouslyBi: He says up front, in his first scene and in response to Faye's flirting, that "women aren't his style" and one could certainly interpret his feelings for Vicious as having a romantic element. However, he does start to get a little seductive with Faye when he spends more time with her, and his avoidance of women as a rule may simply be as a result of embarrassment about his body, or his desire to keep a low-profile.

* ChekhovsSkill: Roco remembers the lesson Spike gave him and uses it to defend himself from a member of his gang.

** When [[spoiler:the show is cancelled]] Judy drops all of her cowgirl, ditzy personality, and reveals her true nature by angrily lashing at her partner.
** On the flip side, while Punch is hardly a mean character, his actor, Alfredo, is a softspoken nice guy who takes in his mother [[spoiler: even after losing his job]].

* NighInvulnerability: He can be knocked around, but not injured. [[spoiler:In fact, pain is so alien to him he has a total childlike breakdown when he finally experiences it.]]

* AlasPoorVillain: It turns out that [[spoiler:Scratch is just a lonely kid trapped in a vegetative state, lashing out at a world that deprived him of a life, a physical body. In a way, he can be compared to MPU, and like almost everyone else on the show, a cautionary tale about the dangers of becoming disconnected from other people, from humanity as a whole.]]
* AndIMustScream: Already a partial case, considering [[spoiler:his mind is active but his physical body is paralyzed. He could access the internet with his mind, but that was it. Turns into a full case at the end when Ed shuts off his connection to the internet, leaving him fully trapped inside his own mind. The blow is softened by the fact he also has the hypnotic program he used on everyone else, so he might at least find happiness that way.]]

* GivenNameReveal: Jet, Ed, and Ein's investigations turn up his real name: [[spoiler:14-year-old Rosny Spanggen (sic; Ronny in the subtitles, Rony in the credits).]]

* ItsAllAboutMe: His belief system is a total sham. Londes is merely a selfish, angry man who only wants to feel important by inflicting on others the same helplessness [[spoiler:his physical body is in.]]

* PsychopathicManchild: As Jet soon discovers, Londes is far more immature and petty than his appearance suggests. [[spoiler:Which makes sense as he actually is an angry teenager throwing a deadly tantrum over his physical limitations.]]

* NotSoWellIntentionedExtremist: Her claims that she cares about animals are little more than a paper-thin facade to hide her deranged misanthropic nature.

* {{Catchphrase}}: Punch has a has a habit of exclaiming "Amigo!" (in the original Japanese) or "Shucks howdy!" (in the English dub).

* {{Bishonen}}: And his pretty boy nature is even commented on InUniverse several times.

* {{Expy}}: He's a {{composite character}} of ''three'' different ComicBook/{{Batman}} villains:

* FateWorseThanDeath: She intends to subject the entire population of Ganymede to one of these, but releasing a virus that would turn everyone there into monkeys. If the terrified expressions on the monkey's faces are anything to go by, [[AndIMustScream they're fully aware of their fate.]]

* FateWorseThanDeath: She intends to subject the entire population of Ganymede to one of these, but releasing a virus that would turn everyone there into monkeys.
