**Also, the awkward dialogue Mao employs when he tries to explain what he needs to buy the chainsaw [[{{squick}} for]].
**Interestingly, in the story itself, Mao gives C.C. this treatment, refusing to believe that she did anything wrong, even by [[BlessedWithSuck giving him]] his {{Telepathy}} in the first place , making him completely dependent on her (though this wasn't entirely her fault, she certainly didn't help by promising to be with him forever or having sex with him as a teenager, which the work implies, selfishly asking that he kill her, despite knowing how much she means to him and trying to manipulate him into doing so, and cruelly abandoning him]]. Mao does slowly come to think of her as a BrokenBird though as he contemplates her [[DeathSeeker Death Wish]] and even slightly subverts this trope when he admits that though she lied to him, [[LoveMartyr he doesn't care]].
* GadgeteerGenius: Mao has a natural aptitude for making complex machines out of odd or scarce materials, as well as repairing broken ones. He used this to make devices to ease their chores when he and C.C. lived together in the wild.

*NighInvulnerability: C.C. has this. Demonstrated poignantly in [[AndIMustScream Code-R's experiments]], which included immolation up to ''disintegration'', as well as Mao's plan to ''make her more compact'' for a cramped plane ride, certain she would survive.

*IndyPloy: Mao travels to Narita in order to liberate C.C. from the Britannian military. About the only thing he plans for, however, is a shoot out and when he gets there he just happens to find a guard on break. So he decides to shoot him and take his I.D. and uniform in order to get into the lab, leaving us wondering what he would have done if he had arrived just a little bit later…
**A really boring wait for the next shift to end.
*InstantExpert: At poker. A mostly JustifiedTrope, in that he defeats his opponents simply by reading their minds.
*IWillFightSomeMoreForever: Even when Mao is confronted by Kallen's [[HumongousMecha Knightmare]], he fires his shotgun at the damn thing, almost getting him killed when she retaliates with her rocket grapple.
*JerkassFacade: Mao puts on one of these to intimidate his enemies, even though he's really a TroubledButCute [[TheWoobie Woobie]] on the inside...''mostly''

*FreudWasRight: Was six years old when C.C. gave him his Geass, soon isolating him from the rest of the world and making him completely dependent on her for ''all'' his social needs. She then lived with him in the wild for several years, effectively raising him. When he got older, he fell in love with her (see WifeHusbandry below), but when he doesn't grant her [[DeathSeeker Death Wish]], she abandons him...with a recording of her voice to listen to over and over. [[SoYeah Yeah]]. Also implied that they had sex during that time.
