History Characters / MobileSuitGundam00UnionAndFreeNations

* HimeCut: One of the rare male examples.

* ActorAllusion: His Over Flag's strongest move in SuperRobotWarsZ 2 is very similar to [[MacrossFrontier Alto's VF-25's ISC manevuer]]. They also say about the same thing when useing it.

* [[spoiler:LoveMakesYouCrazy [[LoveMakesYouEvil And Evil]]: But he got better]].

* AntiHero: Type IV

* PaulDobson: His English VA.

* YuuichiNakamura: His seiyuu. [[OreImo My mecha/Gundam can't be this cute, indeed...]]

* KirbyMorrow: His English VA.

* YujiUeda: His seiyuu.

* TakayaHashi: His seiyuu.

* ScottMcNeil: Daryl in the dub.

* TakingYouWithMe: Daryl did this to [[spoiler:Lockon. Although Lockon ''did'' die, it's not because of his kamikaze attack]].

* TrevorDevall: Howard in the dub.

AcePilot of the Union, and something of a {{Fanboy}} when it comes to Japanese things. Graham tends to relate things with Japanese, following somfe sort of Bushido code, yelling about surpassing Ashura in battle, etc. Despite that, he is not a Japanophile, but one of the best pilots in the world, being the first to deal any substantial damage to a Gundam without a scratch. He also has a bizarre attraction to the Gundams (or more specifically, Exia), often talking about them in romantic terms even as he fights them. In response of the death of his comrade Howard Mason at the hands of Gundam, Graham made a vow to defeat the Gundam with just using Flags. He fought Setsuna after the latter defeats Alejandro Corner, and fought to a stalemate.

* BashBrothers With [[GundamWing Zechs Marquise]] in SuperRobotWarsZ 2 Hakai-Hen. Like Patrick and [[CodeGeass Orange]]-[[InSeriesNickname kun]], where one goes, the other one usually isn't far behind. They're always double bosses. [[spoiler Except in their last appearances, where Zechs appears on 48 and Graham appears in the GN Flag on 49. Which, oddly, makes Graham appear AFTER the finale of season 1, since stage 48 is the last 00 stage.]]

* FanNickname: Aside from Tieria, this guy has plenty of nicknames too. Japanese people shortened his name to Ham, when he dons a mask, he was known as [=HamMask=] or Bushido Bob, the last one came close to canon. His mobile suits can use the [[spoiler:Trans-Am system]] so it's jokingly called [[spoiler:Trans- GrahAm]].

* CargoShip: Has a ''massive'' man-crush on Exia. Not Setsuna. ''Exia.'' Also compares Dynames to Sleeping Beauty while attempting to capture it. Really, Graham, [[HotSkittyOnWailordAction the sheer MECHANICS of it are mind-boggling!]]

* EnsembleDarkhorse

* [[FashionVictimVillain Fashin Victim]] [[TheRival Rival]]: Wearing a {{Samurai}} outfit? Uh.. Yeah.

* HolyShitQuotient

A mobile suit developer and friend of Union AcePilot Graham Aker. After the appearance of Celestial Being, Billy, Graham, and Professor Ralph Eifman, who had taught Billy in college, are transferred to the Anti-Gundam Investigative Task Force, later named "Overflags". Billy is a former classmate of Sumeragi Li Noriega [[spoiler:(aka Leesa Kujo)]] and [[WhatAnIdiot inadvertently]] leaks information about "Project G" to her and Celestial Being. After the death of Professor Eifman and Howard Mason during an attack by Team Trinity, Billy uses one of the recently acquired GN Drives to upgrade Graham's Flag unit to the GN-Flag in order to fight the Gundams.

* WhatAnIdiot and UnwittingPawn: In his defense, he doesn't know [[spoiler:at the time]] that Sumeragi is TheStrategist of Celestial Being. [[SpannerInTheWorks But one could argue about keeping classified information should come first if one's a member of the military]].

* CharacterAlignment: LawfulNeutral --> ChaoticNeutral [[spoiler:--> ChaoticGood]]

* CharacterAlignment: LawfulGood [[spoiler:<--> ChaoticNeutral]]: He is generally a good member of the Union, but after [[spoiler:he found out Sumeragi's connection to CB, he became a {{revenge}}-driven {{Yandere}} member of the A-LAWS. But in the end he gets better]].

* CharacterAlignment: LawfulGood

* CharacterAlignment: LawfulNeutral: Both of them.

* TalkingToMyself: With [[MacrossFrontier Alto Saotome in SuperRobotWarsZ.]]

* AllLoveIsUnrequited: [[spoiler:He is in-love with Sumeragi, but she seems to be still in-love with her dead boyfriend Emilio. They seem to be together in season 2 tough. Altough it's that or they're just FriendsWithBenefits]]].

* YuuichiNakamura: His seiyuu.

[[spoiler: And in the movie, he forms a new squad, the SolBraves, and becomes a SixthRanger for Celestial Being.]]

* [[spoiler: HeroicSacrifice]]

* [[spoiler: KilledOffForReal]]

* CannotSpitItOut: To Sumeragi, which is quite a WallBanger since [[spoiler:they lived together for four years between the finale of season 1 up to episode 2 of season 2. Guess they're just FriendsWithBenefits after all]].

* BloodFromTheMouth: The latest episode has this when he [[spoiler:uses a Trans-Arm-like technique on his Masurao]].

* GoodScarsEvilScars: [[spoiler:And judging from TheMovie trailers, [[ScarsAreForever its permanent]]]].

** [[spoiler:In TheMovie trailers, he's ''still'' using a (more powerful and technologically advanced) Flag unit called the ''Brave'']].

* OneManArmy: A-LAWS pretty much lets him do whatever he wants by himself.

* PetTheDog: In a meta-sense it sounds like [[spoiler:he'll be important in TheMovie]]. It's the least they could do what with putting him on a bus.

* YuuichiNakamura: His seiyu.

In response of the death of his comrade Howard Mason at the hands of Gundam, Graham made a vow to defeat the Gundam with just using Flags. He fought Setsuna after the latter defeats Alejandro Corner, and fought to a stalemate.

* IsntItSad: Despite all his [[HotBlooded scenery chewing]], [[TheRival rivalry]] with Setsuna, and popularity among fans, thanks to ExecutiveMeddling in the second season his subplot was largely irrelevant. Not to the point of being TrappedByMountainLions, but after he got AnAesop delivered to him, he was pretty much sidelined for the rest of the season.

* TheRival: To Setsuna.
** UnknownRival: In season 2. ''IsntItSad''?

* IsntItSad: During the last part of the second season.

* FanNickname: Aside from Tieria, this guy has plenty of nicknames too.

* ClearMyName: According to [[AllThereInTheManual side-stories]], [[spoiler: Graham accidentally caused the death of his superior officer during a training exercise]] earning him a VERY bad reputation.

* CoolMask: [[CharClone He is a CHAR.]]

* GoodScarsEvilScars: [[spoiler:And judging from TheMovie trailers, [[ScarsAreForever its permanent]].]]

** More like "I've been entranced by your performance!" or "This feeling must be love!"
** Made even more evident when he pilots the God Gundam in the SD Gundam G Generation Wars video game. He renames the signature attack of the God Gundam as GOD GRAHAM FINGER.

** [[spoiler: In TheMovie trailers, he's ''still'' using a (more powerful and technologically advanced) Flag unit called the ''Brave''.]]

* TransformingMecha: His Flag units, [[spoiler:including the one he'll use in TheMovie, the AceCustom ''Brave''.]]

By the second season, [[spoiler:Billy is taking care of a despondent Kujo, still unaware that she was a member of Celestial Being until Setsuna appears to retrieve her. Shocked by this revelation, Billy joins the A-Laws and becomes the head of mobile suit development. Once again teaming up with Graham Aker, now using the alias Mr. Bushido, Billy develops the Masurao and later the upgraded Susanowo.]]

* [[spoiler:ActionSurvivor: Becomes more involved in the field during the second season.]]

* BadassLabcoat
* ButNotTooForeign: He is one of [[HotScoop the]] [[SixthRanger three]] Japanese-Americans in the series.
* CannotSpitItOut: To Sumeragi, which is quite a WallBanger since [[spoiler: they lived together for four years between the finale of season 1 up to episode 2 of season 2. Guess they're just FriendsWithBenefits after all.]]
* CharacterAlignment: LawfulGood [[spoiler:<--> ChaoticNeutral]]: He is generally a good member of the Union, but after [[spoiler:he found out Sumeragi's connection to CB, he became a {{revenge}}-driven {{Yandere}} member of the A-LAWS. But in the end he gets better.]]
* DoggedNiceGuy: Arguably to Sumeragi.
* TheEngineer
* EvilGenius: Subverted that he's not ''really'' an evil person [[spoiler:, until he finds out that Sumeragi's a part of Celestial Being. But he gets better.]]
* FourEyesZeroSoul: Subverted. [[spoiler:Then played straight. And then subverted again.]]

* [[spoiler: [[WomanScorned Man Scorned]]: His response when he found out Sumeragi's identity is predictable. He got better fortunately.]]

* [[spoiler: {{Yandere}}: In season 2 after he learns of Sumeragi's true identity. Fortunately, he gets better.]]
* YujiUeda: His seiyuu.

* HeKnowsTooMuch: While investigating over Celestial Being, Eifman made a revelation. He realized somehow the correlation between the Jupiter incident 120 years ago and Celestial Being gave Eifman an epiphany over Aeolia Schenberg's true philosophical intentions; his revelations were too late. His own computer monitor revealed a message,"[[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin You have witnessed too much.]]" Shortly after, the Thrones attacked and Eins fired its [[{{BFG}} GN Mega Launcher]], vaporizing him before he could reveal the truth to anyone.

* TakingYouWithMe: Daryl did this to [[spoiler:Lockon. Although Lockon ''did'' die, it's not because of his kamikaze attack.]]

::'''Graham Aker'''
