** His actions regarding the resistance against moving a set of micronization machines into a military-protected facility are, however a subversion - despite him claiming the Zentraedi rebels wouldn't steal the device, [[TemptingFate exactly that happens]].

TheCaptain of the ''Macross''. After accidentally folding the entire island out past Pluto, his primary concern is getting the civilians on board home in one piece. While technically the ''Macross'' is under martial law, the civilians respect him greatly as a leader, and civil unrest is remarkably low throughout the show.

* ProudWarriorRace: Actually rather a ''[[SubvertedTrope subversion]]'' of this trope; the Zentraedi and Meltrandi were created for endless war, but although some of them certainly are proud, it's a major plot point that they don't ''have'' any culture. The fight, not because they believe in honour and glory, but because ''it's literally all they know.'' As a result, while they all have individual personalities and quirks, as a collective race they're closer to [[Franchise/StarTrek the Borg than Klingons]].

* LethalChef: Almost in the most literal way possible -- as mentioned below, Milia's cultural upbringing left little room for not-killing-things skills, and so when she decided to surprise her new husband by trying to cook breakfast, [[HilarityEnsues she accidentally dumped an entire bottle of cooking oil into a frying pan, setting their quarters on fire. Fortunately nothing worse happened than Max declaring essentially "why don't we just eat out?" and them having to room with Hikaru for the night.]]

** Subverted by the fact that while Max is clearly the better Varitech pilot, his impulsive personality and tendency to go off on his own in combat would make him a rather poor squadron leader. By the time we see him in the captain's chair on the bridge of Battle 7, he has still not fully outgrown the urge to fly straight into the heart of the fight.

* NiceJobFixingItVillain: When Miria taunts him, Kamjin fires back saying there is an AcePilot aboard the Macross, referring to Hikaru. Intrigued, Miria launches an attack on the Macross, which was the first time she met Max, leading to the ''massive'' push towards human/zentradi relations. Since Roy died in this attack, Kamjin inadvertently triggered Hikaru's ensuing CharacterDevelopment.
