| 18 | ---- |
| 19 | * AchievementsInIgnorance: Kenji receives what he thinks is a mathematical equation that needs solving online, and he solves it. The "equation" was security codes for Oz's systems and cracking them let Love Machine in to run riot.

| 40 | * SmoochOfVictory: Natsuki gives Kenji one at the end of the film after he saves the day. |
| 41 | * SquishyWizard: He's a NonActionGuy as far as the cyber war goes, but he's enough of a math genius to [[spoiler:solve an extremely complex, government-level encryption in his head in order to stop Love Machine's final attack]]. |
| 42 | * TeenGenius: A mathematical genius and possibly good with computers, given his job at Oz. |

| 59 | * BreakoutCharacter: Gained his own spin-off manga. |
| 60 | * ChekhovsGunman: As the creator of King Kazma, who is seen in the opening credits fighting other avatars and is even advertised on trains. |

| 74 | * MommasBoy: Kazuma seems quite close to his mother, although she is the only parent he is seen with until his father arrives in the finale. |
| 75 | * NotSoStoic: Remains TheStoic most of the time, but freaks out when Shota fries the supercomputer, and again when Love Machine assimilates King Kazma, causing him to break down in tears. |

| 81 | * TeenGenius: Knows a fair deal about computers and Oz. |

| 109 | * PrecociousCrush: On Wabisuke, her uncle, when she was younger. |
| 110 | * RuleOfCool: Natsuki's avatar upgrade is purely cosmetic (though there is a theory that it influences the [=RNG=] through a "luck" stat). |
| 111 | * SavvyGuyEnergeticGirl: Her relationship with Kenji. In this case computer savvy and "silly goose" antics. |
| 112 | * SingleWomanSeeksGoodMan: Natsuki ultimately falls in love with Kenji after witnessing his determination, courage, and leadership in protecting the family and defeating Love Machine. |

| 142 | |
| 143 | Natsuki's extended family who come together to celebrate Sakae's 90th birthday, but end up playing a role in battling Love Machine. The family were once rich and a powerful clan in the 17th Century, but Sakae's husband lost it all leaving them with only a BigFancyHouse. However, most of the family members work in handy jobs (doctor, IT technician, sailor, cop, [=JGSDF=] member). |
| 144 | ---- |
| 145 | * AmazinglyEmbarrassingParents: They have their moments. Mansuke and Mansaku (Sakae's sons) both ask Kenji if he and Natsuki have done it. Then the whole family forces Kenji and Natsuki to kiss in the finale. |
| 146 | * ApronMatron: Mariko, the eldest and only daughter of Sakae's three biological kids. While she isn’t as fierce as Sakae herself, she still manages to help with Love Machine. |
| 147 | * BadassFamily: Hell yeah! They will stop at nothing to halt Love Machine. Mansuke is very proud of the achievements of the clan's ancestors, fighting off seven-thousand soldiers loyal to the Tokugawa shogunate. Sakae has samurai armour and a number of weapons on display in her house. Most members of the family have badass skills or work in jobs in connection to Japan's society. |
| 148 | * BigBrotherInstinct: Shota towards Natsuki, despite being cousins, by way of MySisterIsOffLimits. |
| 149 | * BigFancyHouse: A large ancestral home on the outskirts of Ueda, though it is all that is left of the Jinnouchi fortune. |
| 150 | * BigWhat: When they realize that [[spoiler:Love Machine's countdown timer hasn't stopped after Natsuki wins her hand in Hanafuda]]. |
| 151 | %%* BoyishShortHair: Nana has this. |
| 152 | * BrattyHalfPint: The younger kids, who end up costing Kazuma his first fight against Love Machine by jumping on him and then saying "you got hit!" in an annoying tone. |
| 153 | * ButtMonkey: Shota is treated like a nuisance throughout the film. |
| 154 | * ChekhovsSkill: Every member of the family's skills or occupations come into use in some shape or form during the film. |
| 155 | * ChildrenAreInnocent: The younger members of the family, who maintain an innocent outlook on things in the film even when they are at their worst. |
| 156 | * ChubbyMamaSkinnyPapa: Yumi and Katsuhiko. JustifiedTrope on Katsuhiko’s end as he has a job that involves a lot of moving. |
| 157 | * TheClan: They still consider themselves one three-hundred years on even though they only own one house. |
| 158 | * CoolOldGuy: Mansuke, who taught his reclusive gaming grandson martial arts to protect him from bullies. |

| 166 | * ModestyTowel: Kenji was surprised when two of the youngest Jinnouchi family members jump out of the bath tub. |
| 167 | * MultigenerationalHousehold: Subverted. Only Sakae lives in the ancestral home, and everyone else comes to visit. |
| 168 | * MySisterIsOffLimits: Shota objects to Kenji and Natsuki's "relationship" on principle alone. He's actually Natsuki's cousin. |
| 169 | * NiceJobBreakingItHero: Shota removes the blocks of ice that are cooling a supercomputer to keep Sakae's body in good condition (which is good on paper), allowing Love Machine to escape the Jinnouchi trap and plot to destroy a nuclear plant with a satellite! |
| 170 | * PassionateSportsGirl: Yumi is a big supporter of her son Ryohei who appears in an ongoing baseball tournament on TV. |
| 171 | * PleaseWakeUp: [[spoiler:The family's reaction when Sakae dies is disbelief.]] |
| 172 | * PoliceAreUseless: Shota is a cop but not a very competent one. |
| 173 | * RedOniBlueOni: Tasuke and Shota in a father-son take on the trope. |
| 174 | * ShipperOnDeck: The whole family for Kenji and Natsuki at the end of the film. Two of them literally push the bashful couple together and say they should be engaged for real. |
| 175 | * SmartPeopleWearGlasses: Tasuke, who runs an electronics store, wears glasses. |
| 176 | * WhatTheHellHero: [[spoiler:Kazuma gives one to Shota in the form of a punch in the face, after his foolishness causes the supercomputer to overheat and the "Flood the Castle" trap falls apart.]] |
| 177 | * VirtualDangerDenial: Most of the family don't understand the internet being taken over by Love Machine until after they verbally hear it will target nuclear facilities with a satellite. |

| 184 | The 89-year old matriarch of the Jinnouchi family, Sakae is about to turn 90 and her extended family come from far and wide to celebrate. One unflappable CoolOldLady, Sakae puts family first and is a very loving grandma. |
| 185 | ---- |
| 186 | * ArmorPiercingQuestion: Gives one to Kenji when she first meets him. |
| 187 | --> '''Sakae:''' Are you man enough to die for her (Natsuki)? |
| 188 | --> '''Kenji:''' Yes. |
| 189 | * BigGood: An absolute gem of this trope. Believes strongly in a tight family, cares for others, and calls up old friends and authority figures to help get Japan's systems back up and running while encouraging them to do their best. |
| 190 | * BreakOutTheMuseumPiece: When Oz's systems fail, Sakae calls up friends, family, and acquaintances with nothing but her trusty dial up phone, an address book, and land lines. |
| 191 | * CoolOldLady: One of the best ever. She may be turning 90, but she keeps her cool throughout the chaos going on thanks to Love Machine, loves her family, rallies her friends to help others, and can even handle a heavy bladed naginata against Wabisuke. |
| 192 | * DeadManWriting: [[spoiler:Grandma Sakae leaves a note to the family with her wishes on how they should carry on after her death: welcome the prodigal son Wabisuke back into their home and stay strong together as a family.]] |
| 193 | * TheDeterminator: Won't let Japan just bend over backwards to a systems failure and manages to get the whole of Japan's services up and running using a dial up phone. |
| 194 | * ExcellentJudgeOfCharacter: It is implied that no one marries into the family without her approval because of this. When she meets Kenji, she recognizes that he has a good heart and approves of him even after it comes out that him dating her granddaughter was a lie and proof comes out that he might have been responsible for unleashing Love Machine. She did not hold it against Wabisuke that he was the product of her husband's affair and didn't hold a grudge when he ran off with a chunk of the family's fortune [[spoiler:until it comes out that he was the one that create Love Machine and endangered millions of lives selling it to the US military]]. |
| 195 | * FlowerMotifs: Morning glories hold sentimental value for Sakae, namely because of when she first met and adopted Wabisuke. |
| 196 | * GondorCallsForAid: Sakae uses her address book and a rotary dial phone to bring order to Japan. |
| 197 | * GoodParents: Sakae raised her three biological children, Mariko, Mansaku and Mansuke, and they all turned out great. She took an immediate shine to Wabisuke as a boy and adopted him on the spot, even if he was proof of her husband's infidelity. Despite feelings of not belonging in the family, Wabisuke clearly loved Sakae very much. |
| 198 | * HappyBirthdayToYou: Meant to be sung to Sakae by her family on her birthday. It still is but [[spoiler:at her funeral on her birthday]]. |
| 199 | * InkSuitActor: Her facial features resemble a white-haired version of her Japanese voice actress, Sumiko Fuji. |
| 200 | * LadyOfWar: Takes no prisoners if angered, threatening Wabisuke with a naginata. |
| 201 | * MamaBear: To her family, particularly Wabisuke. One of the first things she asks if is if he has eaten. |
| 202 | * MentorOccupationalHazard: After rallying her family, coordinating her country, and inspiring Kenji, [[spoiler:she passes away in her sleep thanks to Love Machine switching off her heart monitor.]] |
| 203 | * MundaneMadeAwesome: Her use of her old rotary dial phone to get her entire country running during a crisis. |
| 204 | * NeverMessWithGranny: Particularly when it comes to family because she has a naginata. |
| 205 | * ParentalSubstitute: She was a surrogate mother figure to Wabisuke, who was a product of his father's affair. |
| 206 | * PleaseWakeUp: [[spoiler:The family's initial reaction to her death is disbelief.]] |
| 207 | * RousingSpeech: Pretty good at this, bringing order back to the nation by encouraging everyone in her address book to lend a hand. [[spoiler:Happens again in the form of her farewell message.]] |
| 208 | * ScrewTheMoneyIHaveRules: She doesn't take Wabisuke's revelation he created Love Machine and sold it to the US military to make some money for the family very well. |
| 209 | * SilkHidingSteel: When Sakae tells politicians and [=CEO=]s to put their big boy pants on and get stuff done, she is very polite and encouraging. She might have "raised a little hell" in the process, but she wouldn't know anything about that. |
| 210 | * YamatoNadeshiko: Sakae is an old-school Japanese lady in a kimono. In addition to the polite "hell raising" scene, she makes sure her family stays fed and wields a naginata. |

| 216 | |
| 217 | The BlackSheep of the Jinnouchi family. Wabisuke is the illegitimate son of Sakae's late husband whom she adopted. Ten years ago, he stole a large amount of the family's money to make it in America. He mysteriously returns to the family on the eve of Sakae's 90th birthday. |
| 218 | ---- |
| 219 | * TheAtoner: [[spoiler:Comes back to stop Love Machine after Sakae dies, clearly driven by guilt]]. |
| 220 | * BlackSheep: Wabisuke is the illegitimate child of Sakae's husband, and ran off with much of the family's money to make it big in America. His return is unexpected and unwanted by everyone but Natsuki and Sakae. |
| 221 | * EvilCannotComprehendGood: Well, calling him evil would be a huge exaggeration, but still, he greatly misestimated Sakae's reaction when he thought that she would be proud of him for [[spoiler:winning money to bring back the family's glory days thanks to the conception of a dangerous AI that endangered a lot of people's lives]]. |
| 222 | * EvilUncle: In the eyes of the Jinnouchis save Natsuki, he is a scoundrel (though, obviously, he is not an "uncle" to some of them). |
| 223 | * FreudianExcuse: Sells off his portion of grandpa Tokue's inheritance in order to fund his computer science education in America. His family believes he did it selfishly but it was actually so he could land a contract with the US military to bring wealth back to his family. Self-conscious about his bastard origins, he was just looking for a SoProudOfYou moment from his adoptive mother Sakae. Plus, the manga hints that even during his childhood some members of the Jinnouchi family had a hard time accepting him because of his origins, which fueled his desire to prove himself. |
| 224 | * HappilyAdopted: Zigzagged; Sakae took him in as her own without question, but Wabisuke went unwanted by the rest of the family because of his illegitimacy. A desire to finally be accepted is what drives his actions. |
| 225 | * HeelRealization: Wabisuke comes to realize his culpability in Love Machine's rampage when he learns of [[spoiler:Sakae's death]]. |
| 226 | * HeroicBastard: The heroic part doesn't come until the final act, but he is definitely an illegitimate child. |
| 227 | * HiddenHeartOfGold: [[spoiler:He wanted to use the money he gained while creating Love Machine to bring back the glory days of the family]]. |
| 228 | * InkSuitActor: He looks a lot like his actor Ayumu Saito. |
| 229 | * JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He may be openly rude towards most of the family save Natsuki, but he does care about them, ''especially'' Sakae [[spoiler:even after she dies]]. |
| 230 | * KarmaHoudini: [[spoiler:Sure, he isn't responsible for the government releasing Love Machine on Oz but because he developed it, he almost caused [[TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt The End of the World]]. In the ending, he is just mentioned in the news as the man who developed Love Machine, and is supposedly living a normal life. Presumably, he's let off the hook for playing a role in defeating Love Machine.]] |
| 231 | * MeaningfulName: Wabisuke literally means, "the penitent one." [[spoiler:His entire character arc is paying back the family and saving them despite his mistakes.]] |
| 232 | * MyGodWhatHaveIDone: [[spoiler:After Natsuki tells him that Sakae has been killed, Wabisuke races straight back to the house to grieve with the family and helps put an end to Love Machine once and for all.]] |
| 233 | * NeverMyFault: Insists that the American government is at fault for Love Machine's attack on Oz because they chose to test it out there, regardless of the fact that he designed the AI. [[spoiler:At least, until he learns it indirectly killed Sakae.]] |
| 234 | * NiceJobBreakingItHero: His actions in creating Love Machine ensured that [[spoiler:it caused Sakae's death]]. Though to be fair, most of the family didn't realize how monstrous the AI was until it was too late. |
| 235 | * NotEvilJustMisunderstood: [[spoiler:He created Love Machine, a volatile AI that is basically a weapon of mass destruction, solely for the money. Not money for ''himself'', but so he could pay back the money he took from the family with interest and restoring their fortune.]] |
| 236 | * PracticallyDifferentGenerations: Is the half brother of Mansuke, Mansaku, and Mariko but is implied to be between the ages of their children and Natsuki. |
| 237 | * TheReveal: He created Love Machine. |
| 238 | * SourOutsideSadInside: That aloof, smarmy attitude is just a mask to hide how much growing up rejected by his family has hurt. |
| 239 | * TokenEvilTeammate: Downplayed. He's not evil but is the most morally ambiguous of his family. |
| 240 | * TookALevelInKindness: [[spoiler:Helps his family defeat Love Machine and confesses to his crimes of inventing the A.I.]] |
| 241 | * UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: His creation of Love Machine [[spoiler:ends up indirectly causing Sakae's death]]. He thought he was ''helping'' his family at the time. |
| 242 | * WellDoneSonGuy: As the illegitimate child of her husband, Wabisuke feels this way and wants to make Sakae proud. Everything he did was for Sakae and to make the family prosperous again. |
| 243 | * WhatTheHellHero: The family are livid when he reveals he created Love Machine, particularly Sakae, who comes at him with a naginata. |

| 252 | ---- |
| 253 | * DeadpanSnarker: He responds to learning his friend is accused of being the terrorist responsible for the chaos in Oz in a dry tone when Kenji tries contacting him for help. Explicitly, "please tell me you didn't break the internet..." |
| 254 | * MissionControl: Acts as this for Kenji, coordinating the Jinnouchi counterattack on Love Machine from his dorm room. |

| 258 | * VisualPun: His avatar reflects his role as a "Code Monkey". |

| 267 | |
| 268 | The BigBad of the film. An AI created by Wabisuke, Love Machine is released on Oz by the American government as an experiment, and begins causing havoc online and in Japan's systems. It has an ability to assimilate other Oz avatars and change its appearance. |
| 269 | ---- |
| 270 | * AIIsACrapshoot: Love Machine is a privately created AI who escapes from the army and starts a war with the real world. Then this is subverted in that it was released intentionally, and was following its programming the entire time. |
| 271 | * TheAssimilator: Can absorb the avatars and accounts of other Oz users, becoming stronger and altering his appearance. |
| 272 | * BackFromTheBrink: Love Machine ups the ante on everyone several times over the course of the film, including two instances where its cheating makes victory seem all but impossible. |
| 273 | * BigBad: As the film's main antagonist, the AI is responsible for wreaking havoc online and is trying to throw the world into chaos for his amusement. |
| 274 | * BloodKnight: Enjoys games and competition, taking on any challenger. |
| 275 | * CaptainErsatz: Of [[Recap/DigimonAdventureMovieOurWarGame Diaboromon]]; a self-evolving {{Mon}}-like ComputerVirus from {{Cyberspace}} that wreaks havoc on the real world through the internet, growing more powerful after ever attempt to destroy it until it eventually becomes a nigh-unstoppable BodyOfBodies. By the end, it tries CuttingTheKnot by trying to kill the humans trying to stop it (Diaboromon with nuclear missiles, Love machine with a [[ColonyDrop satellite]]). |
| 276 | * CardCarryingVillain: Programmed to cause trouble, and although it think it is just playing games, it is a sore loser. |
| 277 | * ColonyDrop: [[spoiler:It plots to drop the Arawashi on a nuclear reactor. After losing the hanafuda match to the Jinnochis, Love Machine resorts to aiming the satellite at their house.]] |
| 278 | * TheComputerIsACheatingBastard: In-universe example. Love Machine will follow the game rules until it loses, then will resort to cheating. |
| 279 | * ComputerVirus: Love Machine is a malignant piece of malware designed to mess with whatever system it's in, treating whatever software it finds as game pieces. It manifests after hacking Kenji's account and stealing his avatar, going on to do the same with every other avatar in OZ before it ''really'' starts causing problems. |
| 280 | * CurbStompBattle: It trounces King Kazma the first time they fight due to Kazuma's cousins distracting him. |
| 281 | * CuteAsABouncingBetty: An experimental US cyberweapon nicknamed "Love Machine" and decorated with hearts. As the trope page shows, this whimsicality is very much TruthInTelevision. |
| 282 | * DarkIsEvil: His enormous multi-avatar form is huge and black, but comes with red eyes and mouth. |
| 283 | * EvilIsPetty: Love Machine tends to cause havoc for sheer amusement, treating every OZ account as a plaything and causing chaos in the real world by messing with accounts used for essential services (such as causing traffic jams, creating false alarms with emergency services, [[spoiler:shutting off heart monitors, and even dropping satellites onto nuclear power plants]]), and is also willing to cheat and RageQuit if it's losing games against someone else. [[PlayedForHorror This trope is what makes Love Machine so dangerous and terrifying]], because it's completely indiscriminate in its actions. Whether it's causing minor inconveniences or endangering lives, everything is just one sick and twisted game to it. |
| 284 | * GoneHorriblyRight: The US military probably didn't expect Love Machine to do ''so'' much damage to the world. |
| 285 | * HairRaisingHare: [[spoiler:After absorbing King Kazma, Love Machine sprouts huge rabbit ears.]] |
| 286 | * ItAmusedMe: Love Machine doesn't cause destruction out of malice but rather because it sees everything as a game and was programmed to do so. |
| 287 | * {{Jerkass}}: It's ruthless and willing to cause violence for his own amusement to the point that it [[spoiler:sends the Arawashi down to kill the Jinnouchi family]]. |
| 288 | * KillerRabbit: Its an incredibly destructive AI named ''Love Machine'', puts heart symbols on whatever form its using, and first appears using the protagonist's tiny Mickey Mouse inspired avatar. While it does get more fearsome looking avatars later on in the movie the trope still shows up when [[spoiler:absorbing King Kazma makes this a bit more literal.]] |
| 289 | * LookBehindYou: Kenji tricks Love Machine with this to rescue King Kazma. |
| 290 | * MeaningfulName: |
| 291 | ** Wabisuke intended to use it to make Sakae proud of him, and prove he's worthy of her love. |
| 292 | ** Ironically, despite the song's lyrics, Love Machine doesn't work for anyone but itself. In fact, since it tries to hijack everyone's accounts, it could be said that it wants you to work for nobody but him. |
| 293 | ** The word "Love" appearing in regards to a AI is also common pun in Japanese since in their word for it is "Ai". |
| 294 | ** The fact that "Love Machine" sounds like the online handle of someone who has had no experience with love... which as an AI, is accurate. |
| 295 | ** The fact that, as a hacking AI, its job is to "screw your computer hard and deep". |
| 296 | * MoreTeethThanTheOsmondFamily: Comes with a SlasherSmile that can spread to other avatars. |
| 297 | * MyKungFuIsStrongerThanYours: Transforms to become stronger than King Kazma and beat him. |
| 298 | * OneWingedAngel: Transforms into an enormous black monster made up of the millions of avatars it has assimilated. |
| 299 | * PsychopathicManchild: Love Machine ''loves'' to play and seems to treat everything it does as just another game to play. When there isn't a challenger present, it treats every subroutine and online system it finds as an elaborate playing piece, wreaking havoc on the various essential services that Oz runs. While most of the problems this causes are mostly inconvenient (causing immense traffic, causing false alarms with emergency services), these antics have much deadlier implications [[spoiler:like switching off Sakae's heart-monitor and {{Colony Drop}}ping a satellite onto a nuclear power-plant]]. He is also a ''very'' SoreLoser and will routinely cheat when it starts losing, [[spoiler:sending out avatars it assimilated to hold back King Kazma when it starts losing their fight and redirecting the satellite to crash into the Jinnouchi Estate when Natsuki wins back most of its assimilated avatars in Koi-Koi]]. |
| 300 | * RageQuit: [[spoiler:After losing a hanafuda game to the Jinnouchis, Love Machine decides to destroy the computer that beat him. By dropping a satellite on the family home.]] |
| 301 | * SealedEvilInACan: If Kenji hadn't accidentally hack into the Department of Defense, Love Machine would still be imprisoned and making new escape schemes as a common super-villian. |
| 302 | * SoreLoser: [[spoiler:When Natsuki defeats it at hanafuda, it tries to crush her avatar in its' gigantic hand, only for its' fist to crumble around her as all its' assimilated avatars are freed.]] |
| 303 | * SuperFunHappyThingOfDoom: "Love Machine" is anything but loving, it's a petty AI that causes havoc for fun and ''will'' try to kill you if it catches you trying to stop it. |
| 304 | * TimeBomb: Love Machine eventually sets a two-hour countdown on Oz's worldwide clock. When it hit zero, it was supposed to crash a Japanese satellite, which it had recently taken over, into a nuclear power plant. Once Love Machine is thwarted, and the timer stops, it starts up again, this time with the satellite aiming right at the house the main characters are sitting in. |
| 305 | * TheVirus: Love Machine is a botnet, a program specifically designed to be this. |
| 306 | * WeaponOfMassDestruction: Love Machine was created to wreak havoc onto any system it is unleashed in. When it was sent into an internationally integral network like Oz, it nearly collapses society within the week. Sakae even compares its antics to a war. |
| 307 | * WickedHeartSymbol: Fitting its name it often has a heart appear on its main avatar, but that doesn't make it any less dangerous. |
| 308 | * TheWormThatWalks: Its third form fits this trope due to being made of millions of avatars. |
| 309 | * XanatosGambit: During the final hand of its game against Natsuki, [[spoiler:it specifically bets all but ''two'' of its avatars - Kenji's and the program allowing it to redirect the satellite. As such, win or lose, it can still carry out its plan. Losing causes it to change that plan to taking out the Jinnouchi family.]] |
