History Characters / TheRaid

* AFatherToHisMen: Jaka's incredibly protective of the men under his command. When Rama opens up an escape way under the floorboards, Jaka insists on going first to see if it's safe. Even after they've been outgunned and routed, he insists on finding Bowo and Rama before they leave.

* NoKillLikeOverKill: When struggling against a gangster, Jaka ends up slamming him against a table and unloading ''three'' point-blank shots into his head.

* DirtyCoward: When the shooting starts up he's near paralyzed with fear, though when the team is cornered, he's up and shooting with the rest. He runs from Mad Dog... [[KnowWhenToFoldThem which is understandable]], and when he, Dagu and Rama are thrown into unarmed combat, Wahyu does his best even if he isn't as skilled as the other two. [[spoiler:Killing Dagu and using Tama as a way out, however, cements him as this]].

* JerkWithAHeartOfJerk: [[spoiler:Underneath his hesitations and cracks in his rigid facade, Wahyu's a selfish asshole willing to murder his own men in a desperate bid to save his own skin]].
* KickTheSonOfABitch: [[spoiler:With the reveal of him being a DirtyCop, all of his takedowns of gangsters end up falling under this trope. Most notably his murder of Tama.]]

* FauxAffablyEvil: While Tama doesn't really have many scenes, he does come off as a mild-mannered man mocking those around him who he's about to sentence to death. Even when he's ordering the death of the Swat team, he reminds all of his underlings to have fun.

* AffablyEvil: He's one of the lieutenants of a ruthless crime lord, but is friendly and protective of brother, Rama.
* BecauseImGoodAtIt: This is why he became a gangster. He discovered that he was good at the trade and feels it fits him.

* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Despite his gang affiliation, both Rama and their father still love him, with Rama vowing to his father get him out of the building alive at beginning of the first movie and [[spoiler: his murder]] at the hands of Bejo being a driving force behind the plot of the second movie. His father is also grief-stricken when the latter is [[spoiler:at his funeral]]

* BewareTheQuietOnes: He doesn't say much, letting his fists speak for him. Thankfully, his fists speak [[CurbStompBattle A LOT]].

* TheBrute: When paired with Andi, Mad Dog shows more signs of this, as he is the more bloodthirsty of the two.
* CurbStompCushion: Both his fight scenes are this, with him having the upper hand each time. Rama and Andi only won because Andi got in a sneak attack.

* HeroesFightBarehanded: Inverted, because he's a villain.

* ImplacableMan: Mad Dog is anything if not utterly relentless. Kick him in the head, stomp on him, and he's back up again. [[spoiler:Having a piece of fluorescent light stabbed into his throat just makes him even more energetic, [[ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill and it takes breaking both of his arms and slitting his throat with said piece of light to finally kill him]]]].

* PintSizedPowerhouse: Like Mad Dog before him, Ruhian stands at 5' 4'' and is easily one of the most powerful fighters around. Though unlike Mad Dog, there's less down-facing camera shots and scenes with him next to taller characters, so it's not as emphasized as it was in the first film.

* NoNameGiven: Is only known as the Assasssin.

* DropTheHammer: After executing a few hostages with a revolver, he drops it when he finds a hammer while looking for some ammo. Choosing to execute the last hostage with it.

* TheBrute: Both serve as this in Bejo's organization. While more skilled than most would be with their [[BatterUp weapons]] [[DropTheHammer of choice]], they still boil down to caving in people's skulls, and are less skilled and precise than the Assassin.

* DropTheHammer: The sister is well-known for using a pair of claw hammers. Though she also utilizes the claws for even greater effect rather than solely relying on the blunt end.

* SuddenSequelDeathSyndrome: [[spoilers:is gunned down suddenly at the start of The Raid 2 under the orders of Lieutenant Bunawar.]]

* SuddenSequelDeathSyndrome: [[spoilers: is gunned down suddenly at the start of The Raid 2 under the orders of Lieutenant Bunawar.]]

* {{Patricide}}: [[spoiler: At the hands of Uco]].
* ParentsAsPeople: A crime boss he may be, but he very much loves his son and wants the best for him. He practically used Rama as a babysitter for Uco, when he has tantrum, telling Rama to buy him a beer or get him a woman.

* BloodKnight: The quintessential example.

* ArmorIsUseless: Though he ditches his body armor half-way through the first film, it actually does protect him during the fight with the Machete gang. One member lands a blow on him which cuts the armor, but Rama is unharmed.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: Rama is a kind and quiet man, who deeply cares for his comrades and family, but he also just so happens to be the best fighters in the series. [[OneManArmy Fighting against armies of mooks and fellow martial artists]], that are [[OneManArmy one men/women armies]] in their own right.
* BroomstickQuarterstaff: During a rainy day in the prison, he's resting and holding a broomstick. Naturally when a bunch of gang members are about to ambush him. He takes his time to slowly spin the pole out of the broom head and uses it to a decent effect against most of them before he loses it.

* CombatPragmatist: Rama is as resourceful as he is rather ruthless in a fight. If he isn't beating you to death with martial arts or using weapons. He's either throwing objects, breaking limbs, stabbing people with all sorts of sharp objects, slamming you against walls or any tough surface, headbutting you, or using your own knife to either kill you or your friends. One stand out moment is him using a local restaurant's grill to turn one of his opponents into a two-faced corpse

* {{Deconstruction}}: Of the ActionHero and InvincibleHero. Rama maybe a badass OneManArmy that can run through dozens of mooks, but he is still human that can be injured and fights because he ''has'' to, rather than for action sake. Not to mention, in almost every aftermath of his fights, he's left bruised, battered, and limping. This is best shown in the first movie during his fight with the machete gang, where Rama's first instinct was to ''run'' rather than bravely faced them head on. It is after that he's cornered that he manages to mustered up the courage to face them head on in order to stay alive. In short, Rama is not invulnerable and has very real chance of being killed despite all his skills.
* DualWielding: Seems to have a habit of engaging in this. He wields both a combat knife and a [[LawmanBaton nightstick]] in the first film. He also uses two weapons several times in the sequel, such as making use of two prison guard batons during the prison riot and breaks two bottles when he is ambushed and the fight leads to a local restaurant. After killing the Assassin, he takes his two karambits which becomes useful when [[spoiler:Uco tries to kill him]].

* BoomHeadshot: [[spoiler: His fate, courtesy of Uco after Bejo arms him with a shotgun he only has a few moments to have an OhCrap moment before Uco blasts him in the face..]]

* BadGuysDoTheDirtyWork: He saves Rama the trouble of killing [[BigBad Bejo]] by doing the deed himself, after finding out Bejo was behind the hit on him in prison and had been manipulating his ambitions the whole time.
* ChronicBackstabbingDisorder: Throughout the movie, he betrays [[spoiler:his father's loyal henchman Eka, his own father Bangun, his fellow conspirator Bejo and finally his last "friend" Rama.]] All in the name of ambition and revenge.
* DiedInYourArmsTonight: [[spoiler:After Rama stabs him, Uco hugs him for a bit before Rama twisted the karambit in his stomach while Uco sobs, giving him a pathetic death.]]

* ShotgunsAreJustBetter: In the finale of the film, Bejo arms him with a shotgun that he puts to good use. [[spoiler:Shooting Reza on the head, point blank. Before finally turning it on Bejo, getting a good hit on his leg, shoulder and then killing him off with a close blast to the head]].

* BoomHeadshot: How he meets his end. [[spoiler:Uco shoots him with a shotgun twice, once on the leg and the other mangling his shoulder, but makes sure he's dead by blowing his head open with a close shotgun blast]].

* EvilCripple: He walks with a very noticeable limp, necessiating the use of a cane and alongside that he's plenty evil.

* {{Gorn}}: [[spoiler:Gets a shotgun in the leg, shoulder andfinally the head. The second and third wounds are rather grizzly with even the former getting a decent close-up. The third wound is seen from a farther angle but it's safe to say that half of his skull doesn't exist anymore]].

* HoistByHisOwnPetard: Bejo arms himself with a shotgun and gives Uco one to kill [[spoiler: Reza. Then Uco uses said shotgun against him]].

* ContrastingSequelAntagonist: With Mad Dog. Both serve are enforcers to their respective {{BigBad}}s [[DragonInChief and more dangerous to boot]], with a few key differences. Mad Dog is an adrenaline junkie who loves to fight and kill his opponents with his bare hands; the Assassin is a professional killer who isn't interested in fair play and primarily fights with Karambits. Mad Dog is short and stature, but extremely relentless; the Assassin is taller and goes for more precise attacks. While Mad Dog wouldn't resort to cheap tricks to win, the Assassin only ever humors a fair fight when he's confident he has the upper hand, but is quick to break out the Karambits once things stop going his way.

* TheDragon: While he and Andi are set up as CoDragons at first, Mad Dog fills the role much better, being the most powerful underling under Tama and the one to fight the heroes. It helps that Andi defects in the middle of the film.

* BigBrotherInstinct: It's not made clear which is the eldest, but the brother takes charge between him and his sister when they fight Rama, and once Hammer Girl is killed, he flies into a RoaringRampageOfRevenge and almost overwhelms Rama.
* TheBrute: Both serve as this in Bejo's organization. While more skilled with their [[BatterUp weapons]] [[DropTheHammer of choice]] than most would be, they still boil down to caving in people's skulls and are less skilled and precise than the Assassin.
