!!James Blood
->Voiced by: Creator/YasuyukiKase (Japanese), Creator/GregChun (English)
[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/james_blood_154004.jpg]]
A hot-blooded Detective Inspector (DI) working with the SSC in the Capital Police Department.
----
* ActorAllusion: This is not the first time we hear Yasuyuki Kase voicing a gun-toting hero dressed in red.
* AugmentedReality: James' contact lenses provide him with information sent by MissionControl, and they can switch to enhanced vision modes as well. One of the other characters uses a more realistic and bulky version when he's on the field, namely using his laptop's integral camera to pick up a site's AR info (meaning he has to walk around with the thing open. It even nearly gets him caught when he has to hide from the villains).
* {{Awesome McCoolname}}: Our Cowboy Cop protagonist.
* BadassDriver: Not only James is capable of driving like the best, he can shoot like an expert in the middle of a car chase.
* CombatPragmatist: All over the place, but James is the most notable example. Half the reason James is so effective on his own is because he's not shy about using every resource or tactic that pops into his head to deal with a situation, including nearly suicidal stunts like jumping out of a window to evade danger and then dropping into the next floor to ambush his foes, or grabbing [[ImprovisedWeapon Improvised Weapons]] like using a fire extinguisher like a morning star. His enemies play dirty all the time, so he might as well return the favor.
* CowboyCop: James establishes himself as this in his very first scene by firing a GPS tracker bullet (which he palmed off the armory without authorization) into a fleeing suspect as he barreled through a crowd, then following the man straight into a CarChase which he ends by shooting up and crashing both cars. He spends the rest of the series shooting doors open and charging into places solo.
* {{Determinator}}: Both Sarah and James refuse to give up in finding out the truth behind the death of their mentor.
* FairCop: He's a cop and not bad looking either.
* HotBlooded: He's very passionate about his work.
* RivalsTeamUp: Harry and James end up teaming up against the glasses-wearing assassin.
* ShoutOut: James ''Blood''. He even introduces himself in the first episode in a BondJamesBond manner.

Someone Connor is not willing to sacrifice is [[spoiler:his brother, Fred Faraday; for all that he claims to have no need for morals in his research and their reported history of never seeing eye to eye, Connor outright admits that he has a soft spot for his brother and spends the last fourth or so of the anime questionably on the heroic side as both he and the SSC want to protect and then save Faraday.]]
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: [[spoiler:He doesn't come out and say it, but it's clear that Connor is deeply regretful that his hubris is what finally killed his brother, Fred Faraday, when he had every intention of saving him instead.]]
