%%* IndyPloy

%%* ManipulativeBastard

* TheSociopath: Most emphasized by his [[spoiler:FaceHeelTurn]].

* %% TheRival

* BunnyEarsLawyer
* CasanovaWannabe

* DeadpanSnarker
* DudeWheresMyRespect
* [[spoiler:FaceHeelTurn]]: At the end of the anime, and in the middle of the manga

* IndyPloy

* ManipulativeBastard

* TheSocialDarwinist

** TrainingFromHell: He isn't exactly nice to her, but nobody doubts she TookaLevelInBadass under him.

* [[spoiler:VillainProtagonist: He's most definitely this by the end of the anime, assuming he's even the protagonist at all anymore.]]

!!Junko

* BuxomIsBetter: Pretty much every male character is enamored with Junko's breasts
* BelligerentSexualTension: With Kanta.
* [[spoiler:FaceHeelTurn]]: At the end of the anime, just like Kanta.
* GagBoobs
* {{Gainaxing}}: Even in the manga.
* IHaveBoobsYouMustObey

* IJustWantToBeBeautiful

* YoungGun

* TheRival

* SiblingTeam
* TheRival

* BareFistedMonk

* NiceGuy

* ActionGirl

* TheDogBitesBack: [[spoiler:In the manga she gets a good amount of revenge on Kanta for his mistreating her as a child: his introduction to LaResistance has Kanta humiliatingly dragged around (and given several embarrassing cavity searches) and when he tries to escape, she beats him up and dragged his ass back to the Oasis.]]

* MeaningfulName: Stryker ''strikes down'' entire crowds of enemies using a knowledge of Kenpo and sheer [[BadAss badassitude]].

* {{Badass}}: Doubtlessly so. He took on a giant armored hovercraft alone and won, and everyone is pretty much impressed with his feats of daring.

* AManIsNotAVirgin: Zig-zagged: he does a very poor job of denying that he's a virgin when he's talking to Junko and FailureIsTheOnlyOption for all his attempts in the present to get laid. He can be very mature about the ways of the world, but when it comes to women he is ''amazingly'' immature and easily distracted.

* {{Expy}}: [[FistOfTheNorthStar Stubbornly optimistic and heroic guy trying to bring peace and good to a desertic CrapsackWorld with his fists and CONTINUES despite the world seemingly trying to prove him wrong every time ?]]

* [[RedHeadedHero Red Headed Antihero]]

* AntiHero: Oh yes.

* TheCynic: and HOW!

* [[spoiler:FaceHeelTurn]]: At the end of the anime

* TheDogBitesBack: [[spoiler:In the manga she gets a good amount of revenge on Kanta for his mistreating her as a child, as his introduction to LaResistance has Kanta repeated humiliatingly dragged around (and given several embarrassing cavity searches) and when he tries to escape she beats him up and dragged his ass back to the Oasis.]]

->Voiced by: ChihiroSuzuki (JP), Creator/EricVale (EN)

* ChildhoodFriendRomance: Subverted in the anime: flashbacks seem to imply she resents Kanta because she can't get over a romance between the two when they were children, but it instead turns he actually just sexually harassed her and treated her horribly in general. The manga flat-out

->(Akio): Otoya Kawano (JP), JustinCook (EN)

The [[spoiler: initial]] protagonist of the series.

* [[spoiler:TheDogBitesBack: In the manga she gets a good amount of revenge on Kanta for his mistreating her as a child, as his introduction to LaResistance has Kanta repeated humiliatingly dragged around (and given several embarrassing cavity searches) and when he tries to escape she beats him up and dragged his ass back to the Oasis.]]
* [[spoiler:RebelLeader: Although technically not in charge of the rebellion, in practice she seems to have the most influence.]]

** JerkWithAHeartOfJerk: One good illustration is that episodes 15 and 16 open with a flashback that at first seems like Kanta was a childhood friend of the Machine Gun Brothers and Natsuko, but the end of episode 16 shows the reality- young punk bullying the brothers into stealing for him and sexually harassing Natsuko.

* PintsizedPowerhouse

* MsFanservice

* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Unlike Kanta, they seem to be capable of genuine, especially toward their sister.

* [[spoiler: FaceHeelTurn]]: At the end of the anime

* {{Jerkass}}

* NominalHero

* NominalHero

* Expy: [[FistOfTheNorthStar Stubbornly optimistic and heroic guy trying to bring peace and good to a desertic CrapsackWorld with his fists and CONTINUES despite the world seemingly trying to prove him wrong every time ?]]
