History Characters / SuperRobotWarsAlpha

* ChineseGirl: Subverted; has the look and the name, but [[AllThereInTheManual according to the databook]], she's Korean.[[note]]It's likely that she's an ethnic Chinese Korean.[[/note]]

* AlwaysSaveTheGirl: In almost every ''Super Robot Wars'' games, Heinel will demand Katherine get to safety, before him and Jangal charge headfirst into near-death situations. Being a {{Tsundere}}, he'll never tell her he loves her outright, but it's obvious from how he acts towards her.

* BeautyIsBad: He plays with this trope since he is a LongHairedPrettyBoy that wants to TakeOverTheWorld, but genuinely cares for the Boazanian people, unlike his uncle. [[spoiler: He is enraged when he finds out that his uncle took advantage of the chaos of war for his own interests and seeks to set things right by disposing of him. In ''Alpha'', Heinel even aims for the same goal as Kenichi.

* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: [[spoiler: In most games, he'll started out as an EvilPrince, before reforming and joining the heroes in defeating the final villain.]]

* DistressedDamsel: While the ''Alpha'' games [[ActionGirl avoids this entirely]], Kusuha will be kidnapped at least ONCE in every ''Original Generation'' installment -- first by Ingram, second from [[spoiler:[[Characters/SuperRobotWarsOriginalGenerationAntagonists Lorenzo di Montenego and Murata]]]] and the GaidenGame had [[Characters/SuperRobotWarsOriginalGenerationAntagonists Wilheim von Juergen and the ODE System]]. The ''Second Original Generation'' repeats this during the "[[VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsEX EX]] Scenarios" when she, Bullet and Shine are held as hostages by the "[[Characters/MasouKishin Shutendonias Alliance]]" (she's not the first to get kidnapped; she only agreed to become a hostage because Shine was their prisoner first), but subverted upon receiving the [=RyuJinKi=]. Averted in the ''The Moon Dwellers'' -- she doesn't get kidnapped at all.

* TookALevelInBadass: In ''Original Generation'', Kusuha starts out a decent pilot, but prone to become a DistressedDamsel. When her storyline of ''Alpha 2'' comes into play, Kusuha takes a more active, badass role, to a point where she's the one wearing the pants in her relationship with Bullet just like in ''Alpha''.

* HotBlooded: He has his moments in ''Original Generation'', though he's still learning to get there. More obviously so in ''Alpha'' as he's literally the default "male HotBlooded hero" protagonist/partner option. This is a good part of what fuels the memeticness around his role as a JamesBondage character as a character like him would be rescuing the DistressedDamsel, not the other way around.

* BeautyIsBad: He plays with this trope since he is a LongHairedPrettyBoy that wants to TakeOverTheWorld, but genuinely cares for the Boazanian people, unlike his uncle. [[spoiler: He is enraged when he finds out that his uncle took advantage of the chaos of war for his own interests and seeks to set things right by disposing of him. In ''Alpha'', Heinel even aims for the same goal as Kenichi, TheLeader of the Voltes Team.

* CommonalityConnection: Unsurprisingly, in the third ''Alpha'' game, Heinel becomes close friends with [[Anime/{{Daimos}} Richter]], his younger brother TheLeader Kenichi's {{Expy}} from ''Anime/{{Daimos}}''. Richter encourages him when he feels down and helps him rescue Katherine. When Heinel tells him he regrets how he treated her, Richter says he understands because he behaved in a similar way towards [[AllLoveIsUnrequited Raiza]] and Balbas. He then swears to them that he will bring justice and peace to the galaxy.

[[spoiler: He is enraged when he finds out that his uncle took advantage of the chaos of war for his own interests and seeks to set things right by disposing of him. In ''Alpha'', Heinel even aims for the same goal as Kenichi, TheHero of [[Anime/VoltesV the anime]].]]

* ShipTease: He gets some with Katherine, and by the end of ''Shin'', the two go on a little vacation together. The two get a ShipperOnDeck in the form of Anime/Tosho Daimos Kazuya, who remarks that they'll be happy together.

* SparedByTheAdaptation: [[spoiler: Heinel and Katherine both survive in some of the SRW games (''Shin, J'') and have happy endings]].

* EveryoneCanSeeIt: [[ShipperOnDeck Kazuya]][[note]]Who, funnily enough, is based on [[Theater/RomeoAndJuliet Romeo]][[/note]] chirps that he thinks Heinel and Katherine will be happy together at the end of ''Shin''.

* SparedByTheAdaptation: [[spoiler: Heinel and Katherine both survive in the games and have happy endings]].
* {{Tsundere}}: To Katherine Rii. Unfortunately, he does a poor job of hiding it, leading other characters to comment on it.

* SealedEvilInACan: In the UsefulNotes/SegaDreamcast version of ''Alpha'', [[spoiler:[[Characters/SuperRobotWarsAlpha3 Shiva Gozzo]] sealed Laodecia into the Zyflud Crystal in Euzeth's fleet as a failsafe in case Euzeth betrays Balmar. When he does, Laodecia awakes, kills Euzeth and becomes the TrueFinalBoss of the game instead of Euzeth]].

* {{Catchphrase}}: "Dead End Shot"; [[spoiler:all of his clones would later inherit this]].

* CatchPhrase: ''Sore mo watashi da.'' ("That was me as well.")

* ManBehindTheMan: In ''Alpha'' and the ''Second Original Generation'', Euzeth is behind the dozens of interweaving plots, manipulating heroic and villianous factions for his gain. The constant use of his CatchPhrase as a response to all questions asked about events that occurred became so memetic in Japan following ''Alpha'', [[{{Imageboards}} the mecha board of 2ch]] was named after his CatchPhrase.

* CloningBlues: A majority of their troops are clones, using the genetic material of the Gozzo family.

* {{Chickification}}: ZigzaggedTrope

** [[spoiler: When Belgan informs him the truth about Zambajil, he grows enraged and deems him a "maggot".]]

[[folder:[[spoiler:Prince Heinel]]]]

[[folder:Prince Heinel]]

* EveryoneCanSeeIt: [[spoiler: [[ShipperOnDeck Kazuya]][[note]]Who, funnily enough, is based on [[Theater/RomeoAndJuliet Romeo]] chirps that he thinks Heinel and Katherine will be happy together[[/note]] at the end of ''Shin''.]]

* AdaptationalHeroism: Heinel reforms himself in ''Shin'' and fights alongside the heroes as a SixthRanger. In ''3rd Super Robot Wars Alpha'', he even earns the respect of the Boazan labourers - yes, the same ones the Boazanian Empire enslaved - and they ask him to let them assist him in battle.
* AdaptationalNiceGuy: In the games, Heinel usually possesses the same aristocratic demeanor as his [[Characters/VoltesVPrinceHeinel anime counterpart]], before going through a reformation or change of heart of some sort.

* AristocratsAreEvil: Heinel and Zambajil both have low views of non-noble Boazanians and humans, though the former grows out of it. Katherine, Jangal and his {{Mooks}} aren't any better at first, but they also come to view non-Boazanians as equals eventually.
* TheAtoner: Formerly an EvilPrince that wanted to colonize the Earth and started a war that costs millions of lives, he changed his ways eventually and earned his happy ending.

* BeautyIsBad: He plays with this trope since he is a LongHairedPrettyBoy that wants to TakeOverTheWorld, but genuinely cares for the Boazanian people unlike his uncle. He is enraged when he finds out that his uncle took advantage of the chaos of war for his own interests and seeks to set things right by disposing of him. Thus, Heinel aims for the same goal as Kenichi, TheHero of [[Anime/VoltesV the anime]].

* BlueIsHeroic: He is a villain-turned-hero that wears a blue BadassLongcoat that touches the ground, and his mecha, Godol, is also blue.

** In ''J'', [[spoiler: when Belgan informs him the truth about Zambajil, he grows enraged and deems him a "maggot".]]

* FantasticRacism: Obviously. This is what he says to Kentaro in ''Alpha''.

* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: [[spoiler: While he started out as an EvilPrince, he reforms and joins the heroes in defeating the final villain.]]

* SecretCharacter: Of ''Shin''.

* BlueBlood: He's the Emperor's nephew.[[note]]Zambajil's relation to Heinel is actually first cousins once removed, as Heinel's father is his cousin. [[spoiler: Zambajil is also the EvilUncle to Kenichi, Daijirou and Hiyoshi but ''Shin'' never reveals this fact, though the Alpha games do]][[/note]]

!!Prince Heinel (プリンス・ハイネル)

* AdaptationalAngstUpgrade: [[spoiler: In ''Alpha'', Heinel becomes a DeathSeeker to atone for his sins, but depending on how you play the game, he lives.]]

-->'''Heinel:''' ''"Zambajil...! Using [[Anime/{{Daimos}} Planet Baam]] as a pawn in your ambitions....did you manipulate this situation to your advantage!?"''
-->'''Heinel:''' ''"Now is the time to bring justice to Boazania! To liberate it from Empress Janera and Emperor Zambajil!"''

* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: While he started out as an EvilPrince, he reforms and joins the heroes in defeating the final villain.

* NobleDemon: He may be a villain, but he will pay his respects when they're needed. Some of the heroes come to respect him by the end of the ''Shin'', and he wishes them a farewell before going on his vacation.

* {{Tsundere}}: To Katherine Rii. While she doesn't outright

The Prince of the Boazan Empire and the pilot of Godol. Originally dispatched to [[TakeOverTheWorld Take Over The Earth]] by his EvilUncle, Emperor Zambajil, Heinel later comes to realize that the situation isn't what he thought it was and Zambajil is nothing but an usurping bastard.

* CommonalityConnection: Unsurprisngly, in the third ''Alpha'' game, Heinel becomes close friends with [[Anime/{{Daimos}} Richter]], his {{Expy}} from ''Anime/{{Daimos}}''. Richter encourages him when he feels down and helps him rescue Katherine. When Heinel tells him he regrets how he treated her, Richter says he understands because he behaved in a similar way towards [[AllLoveIsUnrequited Raiza]] and Balbas. He then swears to them that he will bring justice and peace to the galaxy.
