History Sandbox / KamenRiderDriveTenjuroBanno

* DeathByIrony: After spending years copying everything Krim ever built, Banno meets his end by dying the same way Krim did too.

* HumanPincushion: He gets subjected to one in a barbaric and gruesome fashion by Kamen Rider Zein via [[Series/KamenRiderSaber Xross Saber]]'s FinishingMove. Zein launches the 10 Seikens like guided missiles at Banno while he helplessly tries to escape Zein, only for the Kurayami to impale him, followed by the Gekido along with the other eight swords, destroying his Humagear body in the process.

* KarmaHoudiniWarranty: On one hand, the man who abused and corrupted the Roidmudes out of spite, yet it turns out he was able to survive by storing himself on the Internet, meaning that even if his body gets destroyed he can always return. On the other hand, it's clear that he [[MeaninglessVillainVictory never actually recovered from what was still his ultimate defeat]], having not made much progress since.

** Banno gets the receiving end of this trope in ''Outsiders'' [[KnightOfCerebus the second (Kamen Rider) Zein shows up]], he's reduced to '''screaming in agony''' after being beaten within an inch of his life, and tries to get out of dodge before he gets turned into a HumanPincushion. The following episode, he starts panicking when Zein, the AI, plans to use a DeadlyGame as an [[FinalSolution instrument of]] [[FinalSolution ''genocide'']].

** Heart is absolutely disgusted by him. While 006 was cocky towards him, he quickly found out that was a fatal mistake a few seconds too late, and by the end of #41, Brain is ''terrified'' of him, and Medic got ''possessed'' by him temporarily. And worse of all, this guy is (or was) completely human.

* HorrifyingTheHorror: Heart is absolutely disgusted by him. While 006 was cocky towards him, he quickly found out that was a fatal mistake a few seconds too late, and by the end of #41, Brain is ''terrified'' of him, and Medic got ''possessed'' by him temporarily. And worse of all, this guy is (or was) completely human.

* HatedByAll: Everyone hates Banno, human or Roidmude. Even Foundation X could barely tolerate his self-importance.

** Getting beaten within an inch of his life and butchered from top to bottom by Kamen Rider Zein is one of the, if not, most gruesome scenes in ''Outsiders'' that wouldn't be out of place from adult-oriented series like ''[[Series/KamenRiderAmazons Amazons]]''. Nico, of all people, jubilantly cheers for Zein, while Ecole, who was observing the fight from a distance, doesn't even bother hiding the fact that he even views Banno as cannon fodder.

Nine years later, it was later revealed that Banno survived his demise, having stored his data into the Internet and waited a decade later to be revived after coming contact with Ark. Revived with a Humagear body by Foundation X, he is sent to confront Horobi, who was revived by the Foundation that defected to Zein's faction. He singlehandedly overpowers Horobi as Bronzedrive, only to be cornered by Kamen Rider Zein, who has the power to access every Kamen Rider powers. Again, Banno barely survived the brutal beatdown from Zein and stored himself inside Brain's tablet, who was also revived alongside him. When Brain spies on Zein's inner circle, Banno also learns the shocking truth about Zein's goal, as he alerts Foundation X of its [[FinalSolution plan]] to use ''Kamen Rider Chronicle'' to KillAllHumans.\\

* EvenEvilHasStandards: Of all the returning villains in ''Outsiders, and of all the vile villains in the entire franchise, Banno freaks out upon learning [[spoiler:Zein's [[FinalSolution plan]] to use a video game that kills people in real time and convert them into data]], not that this doesn't excuse him for the similar stunt he pulled in his home series (see {{Hypocrite}} below).

** One of Banno's weaknesses is that he can't resist doing unnecessarily cruel things for that hinder his goals. He revels at being a BadBoss to his Reaper Legion subordinates, and even takes his time tormenting his own son. This bites him in the rear in the worst possible moment even after his Roidmude body is destroyed, he can't even bring himself to keep quiet that his son is close by and pulls the Signal Ax before once he sees the helpless Banno.

However, his son manages to retrieve the tablet. And to Krim's chagrin, he wasn't pleased to see his former colleague. And it was only a matter of time before the heroes learn Banno's true colors, which shook Go to the core. Banno manages to steal some of Krim's technology for himself through Roidmude 004, who somehow copied Krim's appearance, in order to assume his own belt form called the Banno Driver. He then kills Roidmude 006, takes his lifeless husk to use his body to transform into Gold Drive.

With Brain's sacrifice temporarily stalling Banno's plans, Heart and Medic team up with the Riders to bring down Banno once and for all, culminating in Chase's HeroicSacrifice, giving Go the strength to finally defeat his father by unlocking Chaser Mach and ultimately kill him with Chaser's Signal Ax, putting an end to the {{Mad Scientist}}'s reign of terror for good.

Nine years later, it was later revealed that Banno survived his demise, having stored his data into the Internet and waited a decade later to be revived after coming contact with Ark.

* EvenEvilHasStandards: Of all the vile villains featured in the series, and in the entire franchise, Banno freaks out upon learning [[spoiler:Zein's [[FinalSolution plan]] to use a video game that kills people in real time and convert them into data]], not that this doesn't excuse him for the similar stunt he pulled in his home series (see {{Hypocrite}} below).

* HatedByAll: Everyone hates Banno, human or Roidmude.

* LaughablyEvil: In comparison to his characterization in ''Drive'', where his sociopathy and narcissism were played much more seriously, here his constant boasting and petty exchanges with Brain are portrayed comedically. Then again, he's already a mere shadow of his former self, and it's not hard to see why.

* TooDumbToLive: He'd have been just fine if he hadn't started gloating about how he could repair and transfer his data.

After his death at the hands of his son, Banno apparently stored his data into the Internet and waited a decade later to be revived after coming contact with Ark.

* BroughtDownToBadass: Bronze Drive is basically a "downgrade" of Banno's Gold Drive form. As his name suggests, the fact that his form rusted into bronze as a result of him revived with a Humagear body and in the process loses the durability from his golden form. Banno can still make up for the raw power which is still carried over from Gold Drive.
* GlassCannon: Bronze Drive retains the raw power of his Gold Drive form but being revived with a Humagear body comes with a huge setback of losing the durability of his golden form, leaving him helpless against Zein's plethora of Rider powers.
* InsistentTerminology: The fact that his Rider form had rusted into bronze, Banno still insists being called Gold Drive.
-->'''Horobi''': Which part of you is gold?
[[/folder]]

* EvilKnockoff: Gold Drive in particular, but Steinbelt calls Banno out repeatedly for stealing and twisting his work: his BrainUploading technology, his Drive system, his very ''identity'' (by proxy, thanks to 004 copying him)...

* OOCIsASeriousBusiness: In episode 4 of ''Outsiders'', Banno starts panicking as he discovers Zein's plan with Kamen Rider Chronicle, disguised as a FinalSolution to KillAllHumans.

* VillainousBreakdown: The result of Brain foiling his plans to kill Medic with the Sigma Circular's energy run off (thus making Heart suffer but taking out the Roidmudes healer and preventing anyone from being healed so they could oppose him). He goes utterly LaughingMad and unresponsive for several minutes, and even after he snaps out of it, he can't seem to stop laughing and his voice becomes even more unhinged. Even if he succeeded in getting the Sigma Circular active]], he certainly didn't emerge unscathed.

* AndThereWasMuchRejoicing: Quite literally NO ONE cares that he's dead with no way to come back a second time. In fact, one of his offspring is ''elated'' that he's dead, while the other is more apathetic.

* ConsummateLiar: Poor Go found this out the hard way. Banno was an evil monster, who played his own son like a fiddle.

* NeverMyFault: He is unable to comprehend the fact Krim cut off their relationship due to faults on ''his'' part, let alone that he showed what's BeneathTheMask by torturing Heart in front of him, instead believing Krim just didn't understand him.

* HowTheMightyHaveFallen: As of ''Outsiders'', Banno is nothing but a shadow of his former self. His narcissism has been played down just to be made an ass of himself. Even the heroes ''and'' villains are perfectly fine by throwing him at the wringer, in the worst moment possible that they also benefit at his misfortune.

* {{Foil}}: To his own creations, particularly Heart, in a way. The Roidmudes "evolve" by copying human emotions and growing to understand them is what leads many of them to turn good, while Banno despite being human lacked any sort of empathy to begin with and becomes more inhuman as the series progresses by returning as a VirtualGhost and plotting to elevate himself to godhood.

** Has a much bigger, and very ''very'' cathartic, one upon realizing Go has every intention of giving him a coup de grace with the Signal Ax.]]

** Has more of one when Go moves in to kill him, being reduced to [[VillainsWantMercy desperately trying to convince Go not to do so.]]]]

* YouWillBeAssimilated: His ultimate plan involves using Sigma to catalogue and digitize the entirety of mankind.]] If you swear loyalty to or please him, you get to exist on the material plane. Refuse and he'll just delete you.

** He believed that [[spoiler:programming the Roidmudes with negative emotional traits]] would hasten the manifestation of Super Evolutions, but of the mere [[spoiler:7 (out of the 108 he created)]] that achieve it, only 3 do so as he intended with the rest either using [[spoiler:positive emotions]] or unorthodox schemes.
** [[spoiler:To show he has no concept of emotion or morality, once he's at Go's mercy, rather than trying to remind Go that he's murdering his family or he could revive Chase, he tries to guilt him out of "robbing the world of [his] glorious intellect".]]
* EvilCounterpart: To both Kamen Rider Drive (obviously) and Krim Steinbelt. Both he and Krim are brilliant scientists, with Banno lacking any morals Krim does have. They also uploaded their souls into a Rider Belt after their human bodies died, but Banno's belt acts is completely the opposite of Krim. While Krim works together with his human host, Banno lobotomized his Roidmude host, taking complete control of its body. Their deaths also mirror each other as both are killed by the Signal Axe. However, when Krim was destroyed by Shinnousuke in ''Surprise Future'', he fully accepted his death, selflessly sacrificing himself to prevent a BadFuture. Banno on the other hand pathetically begs for his life when Go raises the Signal Axe while walking towards him, while screaming in terror when Go strikes at him.

* EvilGloating: Rarely will a scene pass of him after becoming Gold Drive that doesn't involve him gloating about how amazing he thinks he is. Justified, as he's an AGodAmI {{Narcissist}}. [[spoiler:This ultimately gets him killed, as he can't resist bragging when Sigma activates, [[TooDumbtoLive exposing]] the fact he's not dead and resulting in Go finishing the job.]]

** Of [[Series/KamenRiderGaim Ryoma Sengoku]], for being an EvilFormerFriend to some protagonists, and their ultimate ambitions to attain godhood for their own purpose. For added bonus, he and Ryoma are the only {{Big Bad}}s that had [[spoiler:their deaths caused by the secondary riders of their respective shows]].

* FatalFlaw: While he's clearly got ''lots'' of problems, his worst has to be his cockiness and arrogance, [[spoiler:which is what ultimately gets him killed]].

* ItsAllAboutMe: [[spoiler:Even when begging for mercy from his son, it's still just him boasting about his intelligence. No points for guessing what happens to him.]]

** [[spoiler:Is slain by the son he abused and manipulated, using the very weapon he tried to use to kill him the previous episode. For extra irony, said weapon belonged to one of the very creations he'd abused and used so horribly.]]
*** For even ''more'' irony, [[spoiler:he dies the same way Krim did in [[Film/KamenRiderDriveSurpriseFuture Surprise Future]], for which he was (indirectly) responsible. Even more karmic, he made a habit of knocking off Krim's work only to receive Krim's ''death'' in the end.]]
* KickTheDog: [[spoiler:He sets Medic up to be brainwashed just as she reaches her Ultimate Evolution from feeling unconditional love. For bonus points, that love had just been directly compared to an actual dog's devotion to its master.]]

** [[spoiler:Tried to kill the heroes by having 004 self destruct. Guess what Chase does to him when mortally wounded an episode later?]]
** [[spoiler:After abusing his son for so long, he ends up in his lack of mercy.]]
* LaughingMad: [[spoiler:His reaction to Brain's death throwing a massive wrench in his plans.]]

* ManipulativeBastard: Including to his own family. Even the "Promised Number" plan that the Roidmudes thought they had stolen from him was a [[spoiler:lie as even if they had managed to gather four or more Super Evolution Roidmudes, they would not have had the power to enact a second everlasting Global Freeze without Sigma]].

* MookHorrorShow: Banno reacts with fear and terror once Go was about to axe him while he is helpless now that his Roidmude body is destroyed.

** He manages to be this trope [[spoiler:''while [[VillainsWantMercy begging for mercy]]''!]]
--> '''Banno''': [[spoiler:You cannot rob the world of my glorious intellect!]]

* OffingTheOffspring: The fact Go is his son means absolutely nothing to him, and he's very willing to kill him. [[spoiler:And would have had Chase not saved Go.]]

** Has a much bigger, and very ''very'' cathartic, one upon realizing [[spoiler:Go has every intention of giving him a coup de grace with the Signal Ax.]]

* PowerParasite: As Gold Drive has the ability of stealing weapons from others, and can even hijack the Shift Cars, though he can't change form himself. [[spoiler:Eventually, the group finds a way to block this ability.]]
* PowerfulAndHelpless: His BrainUploading scheme preserved his consciousness in cyberspace, giving him access to tremendous amounts of knowledge and energy to the point that he can lash out at and manipulate the outside world through a computer tablet or monitor, but on the whole, he's stuck there as there's no other system on the planet vast or complex enough to house his mind apart from [[spoiler:Krim's Drive Driver.]]
* ProperlyParanoid: [[spoiler:Medic]] was a major target for him from the moment he becomes Gold Drive as he's wary of her healing abilities giving the remaining Roidmudes to stand against him indefinitely. Ultimately, it's her using her powers to heal [[spoiler:Shinnosuke, a human, that help ensure Sigma's destruction.]]

* {{Sadist}}: And HOW!

** It's heavily implied that the reason this character trait is the reason he [[spoiler:chose to steal a Roidmude body instead of just uploading his consciousness into one in the first place.]] Being as cold and callow as he was, he'd have no way of attaining the emotional highs necessary to attain Ultimate Evolution. To get around this, he opted to [[spoiler:wait until one of his own creations did so and then hijacked its enhanced form.]]

* ThanatosGambit: His death allowed him to digitize his consciousness and become a VirtualGhost.
* ThisCannotBe: [[spoiler:His reaction to Go, in Chaser Mach form, overpowering him.]]

* TooDumbToLive: [[spoiler:He'd have been just fine if he hadn't started gloating about how he could repair and transfer his data.]]
* UnableToRetreat: Banno being reduced into a belt after his defeat did not guarantee him a chance to escape as his son is about to kill him. [[spoiler:Subverted in ''Series/KamenRiderOutsiders'' as he was able to transfer his data around the Internet and waited a decade later for his revival... Only to be butchered by Kamen Rider Zein, and then transferred his data into Foundation X's network.]]
* VillainousBreakdown: The result of [[spoiler:Brain foiling his plans to kill Medic with the Sigma Circular's energy run off (thus making Heart suffer but taking out the Roidmudes healer and preventing anyone from being healed so they could oppose him). He goes utterly LaughingMad and unresponsive for several minutes, and even after he snaps out of it, he can't seem to stop laughing and his voice becomes even more unhinged.]] Even if he [[spoiler:succeeded in getting the Sigma Circular active]], he certainly didn't emerge unscathed.
** Has more of one [[spoiler:when Go moves in to kill him, being reduced to [[VillainsWantMercy desperately trying to convince Go not to do so.]]]]
* VillainousLegacy: [[spoiler:Banno is killed separately from the battle with Sigma, which continues to attempt to carry out his plan in spite of his death.]]
* VillainsWantMercy: [[spoiler:Even with his body destroyed, he remains smug and arrogant...until Go drags the Signal Axe over and preps the [[FinishingMove Full Throttle]]. Unfortunately for the psycho, Go has none.]]

* XanatosSpeedChess: With Freeze and Brain becoming too smart and powerful for his liking, he actually spends over half-a-dozen episodes [[spoiler:helping the heroes so he can buy himself more time to copy Krim's belt and find himself a suitable new body]].

* YouWillBeAssimilated: His ultimate plan involves using Sigma to [[spoiler:catalogue and digitize the entirety of mankind.]] If you swear loyalty to or please him, you get to [[spoiler:exist on the material plane.]] Refuse and he'll just [[spoiler:delete you.]]
