History Characters / Dancougar

* HeroesWantRedheads: For Sara.

* DarkChick

* SenpaiKohai: In ''VideoGame/{{Super Robot Wars Z}}2'', [[Anime/DancougarNova Team-D]] refers to him as "Sempai." (Masato did too, initially - and having graduated in a later class than the others actually has reason to - but dropped it after they point out how they're on the same team.)

* NoPronunciationGuide: Her name is Japanese and 'Sara' is in Romaji - the actual pronunciation is 'Sah-Rah' with short vowels, not the English-spelled 'Sarah'.[[note]]This is not a problem if you speak Spanish, Italian and other Romance languages.[[/note]]

* SempaiKouhai: In ''VideoGame/{{Super Robot Wars Z}}2'', [[Anime/DancougarNova Team-D]] refers to him as "Sempai." (Masato did too, initially - and having graduated in a later class than the others actually has reason to - but dropped it after they point out how they're on the same team.)

* ArmorPiercingSlap: And Shinobu is the most common victim of it.

[[WMG: '''Sara Yuuki''']]

[[WMG: '''Masato Shikibu''']]

[[WMG: '''Ryo Shiba''']]

[[WMG: '''Shapiro Keats''']]
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/NorioWakamoto
Shapiro was a former commander of the Australian Military Academy, [[TheMole before he defected to the Muge Zorbados Imperial forces.]] [[SmugSnake Stubborn]] and intelligent Shapiro is obsessed with becoming the ruler of the Universe and has [[AGodAmI delusions of Godhood]]. Unlike most anime villains, he is extremely competent, and has actually come within a [[NearVillainVictory hair's breadth of defeating the Jyusenki Tai]] by exploiting his tactical knowledge of Earth and the human condition. [[FatalFlaw His greatest weakness is his own arrogance]], which eventually estranges him from his own allies and leads to his downfall. He is shot by Sara in the series. In the [[VideoGame/SuperRobotWars SRW series]], Shapiro often makes his last stand by piloting a robot.

[[WMG: '''Emperor Muge Zorbados''']]
->'''Voiced by:''' Shusei Nakamura, Creator/TetsuInada in the ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWars'' games.

* BackFromTheDead: Comes back in an even more monstrous form in the OVA sequel to the series, ''God Bless Dancougar''.
* BenevolentBoss: Despite Death Gaia's repeated failures, Muge forgives him due to his contributions to the Empire, and is shown to address him in a more or less casual manner.
* BigBad: The ruler of Muge Empire and the main antagonist.
* DimensionLord
* EldritchAbomination: His true form under that robe and headdress he wears for most of the series is a HumanoidAbomination fusion of man and machine that looks like it was designed by Creator/HRGiger.
* GrandTheftMe: [[spoiler:Does this to Sayuri in God Bless Dancouga.]]
* OneWingedAngel: in God Bless Dancougar.
* OrcusOnHisThrone: Just sits around and lets his three Generals and Shapiro do all the work for him until ''Requiem for the Victims''. Justified as he lives in his own personal pocket dimension that's an extension of himself, so the Dancouga team has to come to him instead.
* RealityWarper
* TheOtherDarrin: Due to the original seiyu for Muge passing away in the 90s, He is now played in ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWars'' games featuring Dancouga by Creator/TetsuInada of Trombe fame with a creepy voice modulator added in.
* YouHaveFailedMe: Though ''not'' for the last time. In spite of Death Gaia's repeated failures, Muge Zorbados isn't too bent up about it and cites the numerous victories Death Gaia's responsible for and lets him off with just sentencing what's essentially a sabbatical. The process is repeated somewhat with Gildorom.

[[WMG: '''General Gildorome''']]

[[WMG: '''General Helmut''']]

[[WMG: '''Luna Rossa''']]

* CryCute: Sara is a no-nonsense lady who can easily get pissed off with Shinobu's hotblooded nonsense and more likely to slap him in the face. When Shinobu found her just after being literally tossed aside by Shapiro, she ended up showing her vulnerable side, [[CryIntoChest crying on his chest]].

* AwesomeByAnalysis: UpToEleven, he even analyzed the hell out of the meaning of Dancouga.

* RapunzelHair: Reaches her belt line. You'd think it would be impractical in a cockpit...
