* CombatPragmatist: His fighting style is less flashy than other characters, using UsefulNotes/{{Judo}} throws and takedowns and keeping his strikes in low angles, and is more based on counterattacking than plodding forward.

* TheBigGuy: In a film that acts as a vehicle for Silat, Dagu displays a surprising skill in Taekwondo. His moves have slower, but heavier strikes and pivots than Rama's more rapid fire Silat. While Rama's a better fighter, it seems that Dagu is a lot stronger physically as he's seen lifting heavy objects as well as his foes.

* {{Determinator}}: 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 erratic, and it takes breaking both of his arms and slitting his throat with said piece of light to finally kill him]].

* CombatPragmatist: Like Mad Dog, The Assassin enjoys a good fight and when Rama finally faces off against him both assume fighting stances and prepare for a bout. Unlike Mad Dog, The Assassin treats his job more as a job than an excuse to fight and when he starts losing the fist fight, he breaks out his karambits.

* BattleButler: He serves a concierge role to Bangun and his gang, and when the chips are on the table he's more than willing to get his hands dirty.
* BadassDriver: In one of the film's biggest action scenes, a kneecaped Eka takes on Bejo's gang with a car and a machine gun to free Rama. He does an impressive job tearing through them.
* UndyingLoyalty: He believes in Bangun, and [[spoiler:after the police abandoned him he swore loyalty to the crime lord]]. When [[spoiler:Uco kills him]] Eka is outraged at his betrayal.



* HonoraryUncle: His interactions and Uco's conversations to his father imply that Prakoso was this to Uco.



* TragicVillain: He was good at killing and not much else. He applies his trade as a mob assassin to help provide for his child. His wife detests him and his work and makes it clear she wants the child to grow up away from his father's bloody work.




to:

* NeverBringAKnifeToAFistFight: PlayedWith. He utterly slaughters the unarmed and injured [[spoiler:Prakoso]] in his first scene. However his fight with Rama plays with this. They're able to go at each other very well with their fists but in the end it's clear Rama has the upper hand. When he breaks out the Karambits the fight get's much more bloody and he wounds Rama considerably more than when he was without them, [[spoiler:and while Rama ends up winning, he had to take one of the karambits away from him first to kill him]].


Added DiffLines:

* HandicappedBadass: Deaf and [[spoiler:blind in one eye]] but also one of Bejo's top men.
* PsychoticManchild: Gareth Evans describes her as such, being a violent child in an adult's body as a result of her upbringing. Scenes like where she's dazing off and her brother needs to pull her out and she almost forgets her hammers were meant to convey this.

* DragonInChief: Works for Tsama, but is considerably more powerful and dangerous than him.

to:

* 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 being the one to fight the heroes. It helps that Andi defects in the middle of the film.
* DragonInChief: Works for Tsama, Tama, but is considerably more powerful and dangerous than him.



* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Bangun is patient and understanding in spite of being a powerful criminal warlord. He doesn't indulge in the sadistic excesses that Tama or Bejo love and when conflict arises between him and the Japanese gang, Bangun does his best to settle it non-violently.




to:

* KnifeNut: His main weapons are Karambits, claw-like curved knives which he uses to go for people's joints.




to:

* DropTheHammer: Fights with a pair of claw hammers. Though she also utilizes the claws for even greater effect rather than solely relying on the blunt end.
* SinisterShades: A very large pair of sunglasses worn at all times. They help heighten her unemotive and stoic appearance as well as covering up [[spoiler:her disfigured eye]].



* BatterUp: His character name and weapon of choice is a baseball bat. Though he's quite effective with it and fights not just with the conventional end, but also incorporates jabs with the hilt and even utilizes the grip to deliver blows.

With Gangun's gang similarly defeated, the Goto Family have won the Turf War without ever having to do anything. Keiichi for his part makes a point not to engage the one man army that is Rama and may have offered him a job at the end.

->'''Played by:''' Yayan Ruhian

* BeardOfSorrow: Yayan Ruhian grew out a large scraggly beard for this role. It's not a BeardOfEvil as all it serves to do is to show Prakoso as an unkept homeless man, and further highlights his emotional scenes by showing how pitiful he looks. The beard also serves to cover up Ruhian's distinctive VillainousCheekbones.
* 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.
* VillainousCheekbones: Averted. Yayan Ruhian's distinctive cheekbones are covered by his beard, which take the edge off the character and give him a less threatening visage.



* BigBad: His ambitions get the plot rolling. He was the one who initiates the gang war, turns Uco against his father, and it's his minions that make up the main threats to Rama.

SinisterShades: He's always wearing a very sinister set of sunglasses, even when indoors.


Added DiffLines:

* OutsideContextVillain: They're a gang from Japan moving into Indonesian turf, and while they are thrown into the plot for dominance, Goto and his family are the least important of the gangs.


Added DiffLines:

* VillainRespect: When he and the Japanese gangsters finally make it to Bejo's hideout and see the work Rama has done, Keiichi is very impressed and his final line (which is silent) may have been offering Rama a job working for them, though Rama refuses.

He even states that when Baseball Bat Man whacks his baseball's at his enemies, he asks for the back partly to taunt them and also because he wants them to actually give him the balls back.

* GreaterScopeVillain: As a corrupt higher up official, the many gangs are in a mad frenzy to curry his favor. He's only mentioned by name at the end of the first film, but it's clear that the titular Raid was from his manipulations to [[spoiler:kill Wahyu as he was a loose end]]. He finally appears in the second film, and part of Bejo's gambit is to get his attention so he can have such a high ranking official in his pocket. Reza makes it clear that he's happy with the war as he can gain more money and influence.

* SortingAlgorithmOfEvil: While in the context of the first film he is the "final boss," giving the heroes the hardest fight for the climax. However, in the context of the film series it seems almost odd that one of the strongest gangsters (and Mad Dog does outclass quite a few of the criminals in the sequel) is employed by Tama, a relatively small person in the grand scheme of things. Though Bangun did value Tama's position as a negotiator between the gangs and the corrupt officials, so perhaps that allowed him to employ such a powerful minion.

->'''Played by:''' Ray Sahetapy

* BigBad: Of the first movie.
* BoomHeadShot: He kills several people this way at the start of the movie. [[spoiler:Wahyu kills him this way]].
* 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.
* NonActionBigBad: Unlike his underlings, Tama has no physical prowess, he just gives the orders and watches the chaos unfold.

!!Police

[[folder:Rama]]

->'''Played by:''' Iko Uwais

* {{Badass}}: Insanely fast, strong, and capable of taking a beating before tearing his opponent to shreds.
* OneManArmy: Rama can take down the entire gang if he has to. In the second film, the titular Raid is performed by himself against an entire gang.

[[folder:Jaka]]

->'''Played by:''' Joe Taslim

* AFatherToHisMen: Jaka's incredibly protective of the men under his command. 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.

[[folder:Bowo]]

->'''Played by:''' Tegar Satrya

* AnAxeToGrind: Agee might have brought the axe in, but by the time they engage the gangsters, it's in Bowo's hands. When Jaka's swarmed by a bunch of thugs, Bowo buries the axe in one of their shoulders and drags him off.
* EarAche: A chunk of his ear is blown off during a gunfight.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Bowo is standoffish and easily annoyed, but he's a loyal teammate, and in his last scene he gives Rama a sincere warning to stay safe.
* ShellShockSilence: Him getting shot in the ear kills all sound in the scene and brings on a loud ringing noise.

[[folder:Wahyu]]

->'''Played by:''' Pierre Gruno

* {{Badass}}: Downplayed. He doesn't have the martial arts skills of Rama or Dagu, and he's considerably slower, but he can still throw a punch.
* CombatPragmatist: Makes use of dirty tactics, and uses improvised weapons to compensate for his lack of martial art skill.
* WouldHurtAChild: When they were using stealth, and Wahyu sees a kid about to raise the alarm, he shoots him in the neck, justifying it under IDidWhatIHadToDo
