History Characters / TheRumbleFish

** This [[https://pbs.twimg.com/media/B4kopqgCEAAgkQx.jpg image]] shows the nurse outfit she has is just the first out of many made from Abel's hands...

** FunnyBackgroundEvent: Her co-worker Abel [[{{Cameo}} pops up]] on the opposite side holding up a sign (the said sign changes if she K.O.s her opponent with it). Her substitute partner in the second game takes Abel's place since he's gone missing during that time of the plot.

** Not only does he have a standard projectile in the form of his Vanishing Strike, but he also has a stronger delayed version called Axle Strike, and even a feint and low version of said Vanishing Strike as well. The latter makes it not unlike [[VideoGame/StreetFighter Sagat's Tiger Shot]].
** His entire Vanguard Strike series of three multi-inputs not unlike [[VideoGame/StreetFighter Fei Long's Rekkaken]], which have a feint, overhead and low followup each.

* {{Bishonen}}

* NamesTheSame: His Houshinshou command normal is written in the same romaji/hiragana format as Zen's Houshinshou Defensive Art, so it can get confusing at times.

* NiceShoes: Wears a pair of nice buckled knee-high heeled boots.

* MsFanservice: She's the [[VideoGame/TheKingOfFighters Mai Shiranui]] of ''The Rumble Fish''. Taken UpToEleven when she suffers from ClothingDamage.

* BandageBabe: When affected by ClothingDamage.

* BandageBabe: When affected by Clothing Damage.

* BadassBeard: Like his mustache, it's oddly black compared to his blond hair.

* BadassGrandpa: Quite so, since did we just mention he was an assassin?
** However, his winquote shows that due to how strong people are getting, he personally feels it's close to his retirement.

* HelloNurse: Despite not being an actual nurse. Her outfit is actually made by Abel for not only RuleOfSexy, but it works as her main battle suit as it enhances her battle performance. Makes a bit of sense for the latter due to her working in a tech-based profession.

* KickChick

* BlowYouAway[=/=]DeathOfAThousandCuts: Her Critical Art, Kinbu: Kumeisen (Blood Offer Dance: Corpse Life Massacre).

* DashAttack: His Kaijingeki (Demolishing Swift Strike), where he rushes forward with an elbow attack.

** Has a stronger version of it with his Super Shiny Punch, where as explained above, he drops down with a Sunny Finger down on his opponent's head should he connect with it properly (the Shiny Punch itself does one hit so it wouldn't be as iffy like with its HP version), and if he manages to fill up his scorpion counter during that time, a [[ForMassiveDamage MASSIVE AMOUNT of surging damage]] comes afterwards when he gestures his hand. "Feel the sting", indeed.

* DivingKick: His Offensive Art, Tenra Sou'unkyaku (Heaven Gauze Spearing Cloud Leg) is a horizontal version of this, where he'll fire a ki projectile and while in slow-motion, kicks right into the said projectile to absorb it and kick through his opponent. He then does a flashy-gesture and causes his opponent to explode a bit before turning back around.

* TheCharmer

* {{Expy}} of [[Franchise/StreetFighter Elena]]. She may also have traces of a few other characters who have 3-way delayable attacks (such as [[VideoGame/GuiltyGear Johnny]], [[VideoGame/Fatal Fury Ryuuji]] [[VideoGame/TheKingOfFighters Yamazaki]], [[VideoGame/ArcanaHeart Kamui]] and [[VideoGame/TheLastBlade Moriya]]).

* CoolShades: Didn't he borrow those from [[GurrenLagann Kamina]]?

It was said that Hazama was most likely a part of the cause of this....but nonetheless, this is the main reason why Zen is dead-set on hunting him down....the seek the answers Greed possible hides from him.

* DifficultButAwesome: Trying to use his attacks properly is a bit difficult without getting punished to say the least, due to his lack of a far ranged game (unless he uses his Boost Dive, Sunny Shot, to turn his Sunny Finger into actual projectiles). He's also a bit sluggish and it's difficult to find a solid opportunity during the opponent's composure.

* FingerPokeOfDoom: Also works as his main mechanic. His Sunny Finger-based moves all fill up his Scorpion counter by 1 unit per successful hit and also have guard points during their startup, which can do quite a few wonders when he manages to land his Offensive Art successfully on someone...

** Has a stronger version of it with his Super Shiny Punch, where as explained above, he drops down with a Sunny Finger down on his opponent's head should he connect with it properly, and if he manages to fill up his scorpion counter during that time, a [[ForMassiveDamage MASSIVE AMOUNT of surging damage]] comes afterwards when he gestures his hand. "Feel the sting", indeed.

** Pitohui Blazing Bomb (drops a molotov cocktail from midair)

** BlindIdiotTranslation: However, the katakana for such terms is often very awkwardly translated into English.

* HavingABlast[=/=]PlayingWithFire[=/=]StuffBlowingUp: His Salamander Flame (its followup mainly), Pitohui Blazing Bomb (a new special in the second game only), Atrax Fang (his first Offensive Art) and Ophiophagus Dance (his Critical Art).

* SpamAttack: Again, his Ophiophagus Dance. Upon striking his foe with two tasers, he then brings out his kit of nasty items of all sorts and just punches them in a rapid-storm as they fall from being launched up. A final kick that sends dynamite at them ends it in good measure.

* NoHoldsBarredBeatdown: His Critical Art, Shishin Mumyou Renbugeki (Climatic Truth Lifeless Chaining Martial Attack), where one of the strongest damaging moves in the series.
