History Characters / SpaceBattleshipYamato2199

* NotSoDifferent: Both Shulz and Okita have similarities in their situations except for former's failure that led to his demise. [[spoiler: Both were dutiful admirals whose fleet were mangled by powerful forces (Gamilas fleet for Okita and Yamato for Shulz) with a trusted subordinate performing HeroicSacrifice to save their superiors.]]

* UnexplainedSurvival: [[spoiler:Her Cosmo Tiger I is actually ''shown'' to be blown up in episode 25 of ''2202'', and indeed her name is listed in the following episode as among those killed in action. However, she gets found later on, injured and unconscious, in the Yamato's engine room once it reappears in the Time Fault.]]

-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/ShizukaIto (Japanese), Katelyn Barr (English)

* [[spoiler:KilledOffForReal[=/=]KilledMidSentence: And by ''Goer'', of all people. Goer himself seems to be surprised that he was able to do it.]]

* [[spoiler:TheStarscream: Plots a takeover scheme starting with offing Dessler. Too bad Dessler is far too smart to fall for something like it.]]

* [[spoiler:KilledOffForReal]]

* [[spoiler:HeroicSacrifice: Ejects Yuki to safety while rigging Dessler's Fortress to detonate.]]
* PunchClockVillain

* TraumaCongaLine

* MoralityChain: For Shulz and possibly for Celestela.

* [[spoiler:BewareOfTheNiceOnes: Messes with Alter, bodyjacks Yuria and annihilates Mirenel. The most psychologically deadly person in the entire cast.]]
* [[spoiler:BodySurf]]

* MythologyGag: To Sasha in the semi-official ''Star Blazers'' webcomic ''Rebirth''.

* [[spoiler:SpaceshipGirl: Lives in the navigation computer of ''Yamato'' for a while, as Sasha did in ''Rebirth''.]]

* GeneralRipper: [[spoiler:Orders Earth ships to fire on the Gamilan messengers first time Humans saw them, removing Okita from command of the operation when he refused to follow Serizawa's order.]]

* OnlySaneMan: Carried from his characterization in the original series: be they Domel or Zoellik, he is quick to note when their plans are crazy or stupid. Where Domel gets a pass by bordering on CrazyAwesome (and here losing his GeneralRipper tracts), Zoellik does not.

* DyingMomentOfAwesome: When the ''Yamato'' is breaking through the ambush planned by Dessler himself in episode 8, he replies by ''charging at her in the corona of a star, trying to destroy her either with gunfire, by ramming her or pushing her into a flare''. And when the ''Yamato'' [[CrazyAwesome breaks through the flare with a shot of the wave motion gun]] and his ship is about to be hit, he [[FaceDeathWithDignity calmly accepted the inevitable]].

* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: He's noticebly the most moderate of Dessler's subordinates. This remains unchanged even in the wake of the chaos surrounding the Yamato's arrival in the Gamilon's home system, where he allows the ship access to Iscandar as thanks.

* ColonelKilgore: [[spoiler:Orders Earth ships to fire on the Gamilan messengers first time Humans saw them.]]

-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/JoujiNakata

* [[spoiler:ReverseMole: For Sanada, in the security division.]]

** Helps the Yamato break through Goer's blockade by the end of ''2199'', though by Goer and his fleet are officially considered rebels against the new government at that point.

* UnexpectedRecovery: [[spoiler:Is shown to have survived, and in ''2202'', is leading a seditious bunch of Dessler loyalists from the shadows.]]

* OutOfTheBoxTactic: Frakken's tactics are considered unorthodox by many of the line officers of the Gamillas fleet. This is likely a product of being left to operate independently for long periods without resupply, much like many real-life submarine commanders.

* SmugSnake

* AdaptationEarlyAppearance: Frakken was introduced during the Bolar Wars, which might be considered the ''fourth'' season of the original Yamato.

* TheRedBaron: Called the Galman Wolf in the original series, while here he called "The Hound" instead.

* HopelessSuitor: [[spoiler: for Kodai's affections. ]]

* ReiAyanamiExpy: not quite (she's not emptionless - [[HotBlooded quite the opposite in fact]] - but she has red eyes, white hair in the same hairstyle, and the same name as the original.
* RevengeBeforeReason: Her personal vendetta against the Gamillons can get irrational at times.

* ColonelKilgore: [[spoiler:Orders Earth ships to fire on the Gamilan messengers first time Humans saw them.]]
* EvilGenius: Hinted to be the one who converted the Wave Motion Engine into a cannon. Not even Dessler made it possible.
* FromNobodyToNightmare[=/=]AscendedExtra: In a meta way: the original series had an unnamed officer with Serizawa's looks and position who was an ObstructiveBureaucrat and an ineffective enemy, but this one... Well, this one [[spoiler:caused the HopelessWar against the Gamilans]], nearly succeeded in repurposing the ''Yamato'''s mission in a colonization plan fated to fail, and is hinted having invented the WaveMotionGun.
* KarmaHoudini: Apparently gets away with everything he did.

* TooGoodForThisSinfulEarth: He was one of the most decent men of the show, which he had shown optimism towards mutual coexistence between humans and aliens. [[spoiler: He reluctantly open fired on the Gamillas fleet under Serizawa's order after Okita's command was overridden, which led to his tragic fate. [[TearJerker His final wish before his death was for Daisuke to stay strong]].]]

!! '''Herm Zoellik'''
[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/yamato_zoellick_4107.jpg]]
-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/NorioWakamoto (Japanese), Jim Johnson (English)

Inspector General of the Great Gamilas Empire Central Command. The equivalent of 47 Earth years of age. General of the army, and second only to Dessler in his influence over the military administration. Descended from a noble family of pure lineage, an arrogant man who schemes to reestablish the old aristocracy.

[[spoiler:He engineers an attempt on Dessler's life, after which he uses the emperor's "death" as a pretense to put the Gamilas fleet under his control. Needless to say this fails, when Dessler reveals himself to be ''very'' much alive. He meets his end via a shot to the back at the hands of Goer.]]
----
* {{Expy}}: An ambitious, large, loud and boorish scion of the old aristocracy, who's at the same time both racist and classist, he's the one of "Fat Hermann" — Luftwaffe chief Hermann Goering, though unlike him Goering firmly remained a loyal Hitler's follower and favorite.
* FantasticRacism: He makes no attempt to hide his contempt for anyone who does not share his cerulean complexion.
* GeneralRipper: The one time he faces the ''Yamato'' he puts his ships into such position to shoot and ram each other. [[EvenEvilHasStandards Even Goer, who had previously established himself as one, was appalled]].
* [[spoiler:KilledOffForReal[=/=]KilledMidSentence: And by ''Goer'', of all people. Goer himself seems to be surprised that he was able to do it.]]
* LargeHam: ''Colossal'' ham would be more like it - of course, one could expect nothing less from a villain voiced by Creator/NorioWakamoto.
* SmugSnake: In spades.
* [[spoiler:TheStarscream: Plots a takeover scheme starting with offing Dessler. Too bad Dessler is far too smart to fall for something like it.]]
