History Characters / UltramanTriggerNewGenerationTigaGUTSSelect

* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: The Tomboy to Yuna's Girly Girl being a guns-blazing, trigger-happy and dead-serious woman who only shows outbursts of emotions when given the chance to let loose with weapons. Her status is even lampshaded by Marluru and Tesshin who both wished there was more of a "femenine" air in GUTS Select, unaware that she's listening to them.

* CoolGun: The GUTS Sparklence is an item designed by GUTS-Select's engineer Akito Hijiri as a weapon used by the rest of the team. Kengo is able to convert it from its normal Hyper Gun mode to "Sparklence" mode to become Trigger.

The Shizuma Foundation, a private Foundation operating on a global scale, was founded by Mitsukuni Shizuma for the betterment of society. It is currently on the forefront of Space Exploration and Extraterrestrial Archeology. Through his archeological research, Mitsukuni found evidence of a dark power that would threaten the Earth, and so he formed the ''TPU'' (Terrestrial Peaceable Union) to stand up against this impending threat.

* CorruptedCharacterCopy: {{Inverted}} and {{Downplayed}}. He initially fills in a similar role to ''Ultraman Tiga'''s Keigo Masaki being a [[TheChosenWannabe chosen wannabe]] who resents that the protagonist got the powers of the titular series' Ultra. But while Masaki is a selfish monster [[HeelFaceTurn who eventually gets better]], Akito is merely legitimately concerned about Kengo possibly endangering people with his inexperience and ultimately manages to warm up to the latter to a degree instead of letting the obsession consume him, at least for the time being.

* Meganekko: She has some big glasses reflecting her cool and nerdy demeanor.
* NotSoStoic: She hardly shows any emotion. But upon getting the chance to employ the GUTS Falcon against Gymaira she excitedly screams as she fights her opponent.

* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:Becomes one with the Eternity Core to stop it from destroying the universe.]]

* Meganekko

* RankUp: Episode 18 begins with him being promoted to head of GUTS-Select’s Asia branch. Subverted, in that this turns out to be a hallucination.
** Played straight in the TimeSkip leading up to Episode Z, wherein he has been transferred to intelligence.

** While he reprimands Akito for his attitude towards Kengo, he makes sure not to go overboard with his callout and simply makes sure to help both of them get along.
** Though he's initially working under government protocols that lead to distrusting Trigger, he eventually makes the conscious choice to assist the Giant of Light in his fight against Hudram.

* ArmorPiercingSlap: Delivers one to Darrgon in episode 5. It doesn't do much against Darrgon himself... But does earn his respect enough for him to back down and leave her and Akito alone for the time being and even manages to shock him due to a normal human standing up to him.

* AmbiguousSituation: There are hints that point to him actually coming from (or at least knowing about) the Neo Frontier Universe.
** He knows about Series/UltramanTiga as well as the monsters Golza and Melba, noting how Golba is their fusion in the first episode, no one else but him knows about either of the three.
** "''Akito's Promise''" reveals that he [[spoiler:Akito and the latter's parents developed their version of the GUTS Wings, which is suspiciously similar to the original one besides having the TPU logo.]]
** [[spoiler:Episode 9 eventually reveals this is the case, and as it turns out his "prototype" GUTS Wing was one that already existed and he piloted as a GUTS pilot, fixing it when he arrived on Trigger's Earth in order to fight Deathdrago.]]

* TokenMiniMoe: Compared to they're adult teammates they're a short kid member though it doesn't make them any less competent at their job.

A wandering alien from [[Series/UltraSeven Planet Metron]] who came to Earth shortly after the establishment of the Terrestrial Peaceable Union (TPU) and bonded with Captain Tatsumi over their shared love of a detective show. Marluru has a wealth of knowledge on intergalactic monsters, and is assigned as operator for Expert Team GUTS-Select. Despite the cute and cuddly appearance, they have a razor sharp tongue.

* MythologyGag: The number seven on his coat resembles an Eye Slugger.

A wandering alien from [[Series/UltraSeven Planet Metron]] who came to Earth shortly after the establishment of the Terrestrial Peaceable Union (TPU). Marluru has a wealth of knowledge on intergalactic monsters, and is assigned as operator for Expert Team GUTS-Select. Despite the cute and cuddly appearance, has a razor sharp tongue.

* AliensSpeakingEnglish: He's fluent in Japanese, though he draws the line at the Ultra-Ancient language.

* HatesBeingCalledCute: The first thing Kengo says upon meeting Marluru is a comment on how cute he his, which immediately offends him.

* TokenMiniMoe: Compared to his adult teammates he's a short kid member though it doesn't make him any less competent at his job.

* HeroOfAnotherStory: In ''Ultraman Decker'' [[spoiler:the old guard of GUTS Select fight the Spheres in the Mars Colony after being stranded there (besides Yuna who got trapped on Earth instead). Kengo leaves for a while to focus on stopping the returning Megalothor in the sixth and seventh episodes.]]

* ReassignedToAntarctica: ''Ultra Chronicle D'' has a subplot focusing on Marlulu preparing for the core team to be transferred to Mars.

* SympathyForTheDevil: Episode 19 shows that he's started to develop empathy for Carmeara, commenting on her legitimate sadness over losing [[spoiler: her beloved Trigger (Dark)]], and just how miserable she is over it. [[spoiler:He even comforts her in her final moments as Trigger.]]

* IdiotHero: He easily falls for Ignis's psychological 'don't push this button' trap in episode 22. However, it is mostly Subverted since prior to becoming Trigger, he was already a botanist who was smart enough to create R'lyeh, a special plant intended to survive on martian soil.

* AllLovingHero: He's all around nice dude who's all about protecting people's smiles. He even starts showing sympathy and empathy towards the Dark Giants, Darrgon and Carmeara once he starts seeing more of their emotional sides.

* {{Expy}}: Of [[Series/UltramanGeed Pega]], another cuter reinterpretation of an alien race from ''Series/{{Ultraseven}}'' who acts as an ally of the heroes.

* LockedOutOfTheLoop: [[spoiler: Is unaware of her status as the reincarnation of Yuzare, with Akito and her father making sure she doesn't knows out of concern for her safety this leads to her being extremely confused when the Dark Giants refer to her as "Yuzare". She starts to cotton on starting with episode 8, wherein she realizes that she used a power she doesn’t understand.]]

* SecretKeeper:
** He turns out to have been aware of [[spoiler:Yuna's identity as Yuzare's reincarnation and descendant and Mitsukuni being from an alternative dimension]], having been told to keep quiet by Mr. Shizuma and only revealing it once his boss tells him to.
** Episode 14 heavily implies that [[spoiler:he was fully aware or at least figured out Kengo is Trigger from tending to his injuries, but like Akito keeps quiet about it.]]

* DefrostingIceKing: At first Akito wants little to do with Kengo and isn't shy to tell the latter how much he detests him for being Trigger's host, rationalizing that it should've been him instead. By the end of "''Leap towards the Future''" he warms up a bit to Kengo, though some resentment is still implied and later shown to be there.
* GadgeteerGenius: He designed the Nursedessei, reverse-engineered the GUTS Sparklence from the original Ultra-Civilization artifact, and developed the Hyper Keys.

* TheResenter: Resents that Kengo was chosen to be Trigger's host and initially acts hostile to him over it. He tones it down into cold distancing later on.
* TheRival: To Kengo within GUTS, partly due to resenting that Kengo became Trigger's host. While he warms up to Kengo after bonding with him a bit, it's later shown that he still resents him to an extent for being Trigger's host and though it doesn't goes farther than him being outwardly cold and dismissive of Kengo, it still is very much present.

* SensitiveGuyAndManlyMan: The Manly to Kengo's Sensitive. Akito is a rude, aloof and sarcastic person who prefers action and attacking over all else.

* CameBackStrong: [[spoiler: Once he comes back to the present after realizing his true relationship with Trigger, he gains the ability to transform into Trigger by himself, allowing him to fight off his revived EvilCounterpart.]]

* TheChosenOne: Appears to be Trigger's chosen host, which is implied by how Mr. Shizuma personally made sure Kengo had the means to transform into Trigger when he finds the hero's statue and Golba attacked. [[spoiler: Episode 12 reveals that he is Trigger's chosen host because he's Trigger's reincarnation.]]

* DissappearedDad: While his mother appears in the pilot episode and occasionally shows up during the series, Kengo's dad on the other hand is never mentioned. [[spoiler: This is because he ''doesn't'' have one; Kengo's mother found him as a baby 21 years ago while excavating Trigger's statue in the ruins]].

* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler: Becomes one with the Eternity Core to stop it from destroying the universe]].
* InadequateInheritor: What Akito perceives him as, seeing Kengo's lack of fighting experience and hesitation to be a disservice to Trigger's power.
* MoralityPet: Implied to be this for [[spoiler: Trigger, having been the one who introduced him to the light. Of note is that when Kengo is separated from the Giant, he succumbs to the darkness once again]].

* SympathyForTheDevil: Episode 19 shows that he's started to develop empathy for Carmeara, commenting on her legitimate sadness over losing [[spoiler: her beloved Trigger (Dark)]], and just how miserable she is over it.
* {{Reincarnation}}: [[spoiler: Episode 12 and 13 reveal and clarify that Kengo is Trigger's inner light reincarnated into a human.]]

* DudeMagnet: She's gotten the romantic affections of [[ChildhoodFriend Akito]], [[GoldDigger Ignis]] and [[VillainousCrush Darrgon]].

* HandHidingSleeves: Wears extra-long sleeves that his hands tend to get lost in. Most Metrons have this design element, though in Marluru's case it's the "cute" kind rather than "shifty" (but don't tell ''him'' that).

* NotSoAboveItAll: He's for the most part a calm, collected and serious captain. Yet episode 18 shows that under the right circumstances even he can crack and turn downright hysteric, such as when GUTS Select ends up rather chaotically divided when their dreams are slowly ruined one-bypne and then when he sees that his supposed RankUp was just a medical notice indicating him to have a bad liver he is on the verge of crying.
