* MisplacedRetribution: Had 002 take a form of a businessman to vent his spite out on.



* {{Narcissist}}: The guy has all the symptoms. In addition to his AGodAmI, he can't ''comprehend'' the idea he's not as great as he thinks he is, considering any who don't think likewise to be idiots who can't comprehend his genius, but also going to measures to take petty vengeance on them any chance he gets such as making Heart take the form of an investor who snubbed him ''solely'' so he could torture someone with the guy's face. He repeatedly boasts about his accomplishments and genius, casually glossing over the fact that most of them are due to him piggybacking off of or outright ''stealing'' most of Krim Steinbelt's inventions and perverting them for his own purposes. In his mind, even his own family are nothing more than research subjects in his eyes, and his response to Krim having moral qualms about [[NeverMyFault his actions is to think the guy]] is ''joking''. His ControlFreak tendencies also lend to this disorder.

* PsychopathicManchild: There's a very good reason why Heart hates humanity; Banno, out of a childish and petty desire to take out his anger treated Heart like a toy he tries to break out of fury, he never wants to accept when things won't go his way, and makes sure to taunt his enemies whenever he's got the advantage. Ironically, Heart was cared for by Krim himself, who treats him as a living being and not a puppet.

* ZeroPercentApprovalRating: The only Roidmude who's genuinely loyal to him is 004, and that's only because Banno programmed him to be. When he takes control of the Roidmudes, they all only submit to him out of fear and the ones who keep their free will betray him the first chance they get.



* BackFromTheDead: [[spoiler:Turns out he wasn't even dead to begin with. As ''Series/KamenRiderOutsiders'' reveals that he was able to store his data in the internet and manage to come contact with [[Series/KamenRiderZeroOne Ark]]. Then Foundation X gave him with a Humagear body.]]



* BookEnds: His first death prior to the beginning of the series occurred at the hands of the Roidmudes, his creations. His second death, at the end of the series, is at the hands of his own son, Gou.



* CatharsisFactor: A dark take of an in-universe example. He got Heart to take the form of an investor that turned him down '''purely''' so he could torture him and relieve his stress on something that did nothing wrong.

* HiddenVillain: He's the hidden GreaterScopeVillain who set the series in motion, but this isn't revealed until late into the series.



* {{Irony}}: He created robots able to develop and experience emotion to the point of becoming humanlike, while being a completely soulless and misanthropic individual himself.



* MaskOfSanity: When he's first rescued and brought to the Drive Pit, he does a very good job of putting up a helpful facade and hiding his inner megalomania, up until he's ready to pull his betrayal.



* SealedEvilInACan: Turns out that the Roidmudes keeping him captive was probably for the best, as letting them kill him was part of his plan.

to:

* SealedEvilInACan: Turns out that the Roidmudes keeping him captive was probably for the best, as letting them kill him was part of his plan.when released he proves to be much more morally depraved than they are.



* StupidEvil: Banno may be a genius inventor, but his extreme egomania and wrathful nature repeatedly prove to be his undoing. He deliberately corrupted the Roidmudes with negative emotions and abused them so they'd rampage, simply to spite Krim, only to end up as the first victim of their rampage. While he had the foresight to prepare a way to [[BrainUploading preserve his mind digitally upon death]], he still spends most of the series held captive by the Roidmudes and unable to influence anything outside his tablet. It's only when Gou retrieves him that he's able to put in motion his plans, at which point he immediately throws his son under the bus and takes every opportunity to demean him, and when he winds up at Gou's mercy the best he can come up with to convince Gou not to kill him is to boast about his genius.



* UnableToRetreat: Banno being reduced into a belt after his defeat did not guarantee him a chance to escape as his son is about to kill him. [[spoiler:Subverted in ''Series/KamenRiderOutsiders'' as he was able to transfer his data around the Internet and waited a decade later for his revival... Only to be butchered by Kamen Rider Zein, and then transferred his data into Foundation X's network.]]

* BigBad: Banno is the true main antagonist in the entire series who inadvertently caused the Roidmude uprising, but he's out of the picture for most of the story. When he is released however he proves to be far worse than the Roidmudes. Made apparent by Heart's confrontation with Go in #40.

* EvilIsSterile: While Banno has some ingenuity and creativity, his genius pales in comparison to Krim's and much of his technology is either stole from Krim or a rip-off of something he invented.
