8!!Musashi
9[[quoteright:275:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/TVTropesSLMusashi_2939.jpg]]
10!!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/YukiKaida (Japanese), Lenne Hardt (English)
11
12TheHero and main character, Musashi is a wannabe samurai warrior who was summoned by Mycella to save Antheum from the evil clutches of Gandrake Enterprises. Along the way, he rescues the mystics and recovers the elemental swords in order to defeat Gandrake.
13----
14* AwesomeByAnalysis: He can learn new techniques by observing them in action, though he risks taking a hit from any attack he's focusing on if he stuffs it up. He actually counters moves he's learning ''with'' the move he's learning.
15* BerserkButton: [[spoiler:It's best not to kill Mycella in his sight]].
16* {{BFS}}:
17** His signature Great Oar, as well as the five elemental swords.
18** Special emphasis on the Oar. It's normally just a sword Musashi's size, but for its special attack, Maelstrom, it can grow to three times its size.
19* BridalCarry: He gets to do this to all of the Maidens and Mycella. Amusingly, he can also do this with Master Mew as a part of his training, and most enemies after shocking them with the [[ShockAndAwe Paralyzing Palm]].
20* CharacterDevelopment: At first, he's somewhat reluctant about being taken out of his world to save another. Later on, he becomes a MessianicArchetype after spending time with the Mystics, [[spoiler:and falling in love with Mycella]].
21* ChasteHero:
22** He appears to be clueless after [[spoiler:Clochette]] gives him an ambiguous proposition.
23** He's even slightly confused when [[spoiler:Mycella]] decides to cast her "Spell Of Certain Victory" ''[[spoiler:and snogs him]]''.
24* CoolShades: They have red Xs over black lens. Similar to VideoGame/BraveFencerMusashi's L-Goggles, [[TheGogglesDoNothing he never actually wears them over his eyes]] and in fact uses a different pair to see the enemy's HP.
25* CrossdressingVoices: Musashi is voiced by a woman in both the English and Japanese versions. Both of them give Musashi a Manga/{{Naruto}}-sounding voice.
26* DeadpanSnarker: Somewhat. Most of what Musashi says is straight-forward, but he gets some good snark in from time to time.
27-->'''Musashi:''' I knew you were nuts, but ''[[spoiler:talking rocks!?!?]]'' Do they sing and dance too?
28* DiagonalCut: In various flavors.
29* DoubleJump: One of his skills.
30* DualWielding: His fighting style, echoing that of his [[UsefulNotes/MiyamotoMusashi real life inspiration]].
31* ElementalPowers: With the five Elemental Swords. They're usually necessary to solve puzzles along the way.
32* HotBlooded: He's a guy that loves to fight anything that stands in his way, and enjoys giving pep talk to those who seem to be down on their luck.
33* ImprobableHairstyle: Longer than his body, necessitating that it defy gravity to keep from dragging on the ground.
34* KatanasAreJustBetter: His main sword.
35* KidSamurai: He's 16 years old.
36* LightningBruiser: A pretty fast, durable, and skillful samurai for someone his age.
37* MasterSwordsman: By the end of the game, after he finally defeats Gandrake.
38* OneHandedZweihander: He dual wields his {{BFS}}s with his katana.
39* OneManArmy: The only force that's capable of bringing an end to Gandrake's entire company.
40* PowerCopying: How he learns most of his techniques.
41* RedOniBlueOni: He's the Red (snarky, dual wields, good, and hot-blooded) while Gandrake is the Blue (serious, single longsword-wielding, evil, and cold). It's even lampshaded in the intro video, where they're cloaked in their respective colors during their duel.
42* SkywardScream: One when [[spoiler:Mycella dies]].
43* ThisIsGonnaSuck: One at the beginning, after witnessing the sheer number of platforms with relative guard robots that stands between him and the tower where Mycella is kept. He says the exact same thing near the climax of the game, when he's about to fight [[spoiler:Gandrake, who has by then transformed into an EvilTwin MirrorBoss of him]].
44-->'''Musashi:''' "Not good..."
45* ThrowingYourSwordAlwaysWorks: The "Karmic Circle" Secret Technique.
46* UnstoppableRage: [[spoiler:His mindset of defeating Gandrake changes aggressively once he kills Mycella. It pisses him off so much that he becomes more than willing to give his own life if it meant he can kill Gandrake]]!
47
48!!Princess Mycella
49[[quoteright:125:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/TVTropesMycella_5999.jpg]]
50!!!'''Voiced by:''' Miwa Kouzuki (Japanese), Jasmine Allen (English)
51
52Antheum's princess, and the one who summoned Musashi in first place. She's kidnapped by Gandrake and must repeatedly be rescued. She develops a crush on Musashi.
53----
54* BigGood: She is the one responsible for summoning TheHero for help, as well as being Gandrake's main target for use of her powers for world conquest, which sets off the plot of the game.
55* ContrastingSequelMainCharacter: On the TomboyAndGirlyGirl spectrum, Mycella is the [[Franchise/KingdomHearts Kairi]]-esque Girly Girl to the TomboyPrincess that was [[VideoGame/BraveFencerMusashi Fillet]].
56* DamselInDistress: She's kidnapped at the very beginning of the game, and the prologue consists of rescuing her.
57** This happens a total of [[RuleOfThree three]] times in the game. To list:
58*** 1: The beginning of the game, where she is kidnapped by Rothschild and kept at Nebulium Tower to be saved by Musashi. After the rescue, Musashi and Mycella venture to the peak of the tower, where Mycella gets knocked out and re-kidnapped by Gandrake.
59*** 2: During a mission to rescue Maribo from the same tower where Mycella was first kept, [[spoiler:Musashi learns from Maribo that the princess was sent there again along with her. They find and free Mycella again, and all 3 of them successfully return to Antheum]].
60*** 3: [[spoiler: Later on, Clochette finds Mycella at Antheum, kidnaps her at gunpoint, and sends her to Rampart Isle, the final stage of the game. This time, it takes beating all of Gandrake's Five Directors and giving up his five elemental swords to free her.]] When Musashi does, Mycella even [[LampshadeHanging lampshades]] that this is the third time Musashi had to do so.
61* DisneyDeath: She was killed by Gandrake and the Archnembulus for assisting Musashi in the final battle. Fortunately, the Anthedon being restored to its full power from all 5 elemental swords allowed it to revive her.
62%%* FirstGirlWins: She's also the first main female Musashi rescues after her summoning of him.
63* IntimateHealing: A rather innocent version: During the battle against [[spoiler:Shadow Musashi]], she can heal Musashi if he [[BridalCarry carries her]].
64* {{Leitmotif}}: ''"Mystical Princess"''. Comes in a regular version and a more modern "Casual" version.
65* PrincessesPreferPink: Not only in her clothes, but also in her magic.
66* RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: [[spoiler:She even assists Musashi during the first battle against Gandrake, who has changed into Shadow Musashi]]. This angers Gandrake enough to [[spoiler:[[ShootTheMedicFirst kill her]] before unleashing his OneWingedAngel form]].
67
68!!Master Mew (Master Mao)
69[[quoteright:189:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/TVTropesMasterMew_3615.jpg]]
70!!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/TakeshiAono (Japanese), Barry Gjerde (English)
71
72An old humanoid cat who knows the Mystics. He finds Musashi who was summoned by Mycella in the beginning and trains him in the "Way of the Stray Cat". He later appears on Antheum in his dojo to give you advice on how to use your elemental attacks and occasionally teach you new techniques.
73----
74* DubNameChange: From Mao. Note that both names are onomatopoeia for the same sound, but mew is an English one and mao is a Japanese one.
75* DudeWheresMyRespect:
76** No one seems to pay him any respect -- Musashi even calls him Whisker Dude -- but he doesn't complain.
77** [[spoiler:Ultimately subverted when Musashi refers to him as "Master" at the end of the game]].
78%%* EyepatchOfPower
79%%* EyesAlwaysShut
80* LightningBruiser: He's really fast.
81* MasterSwordsman: We never get to see him in action, though.
82* OldMaster: Despite his small size and old age, Mew is known to be an extraordinary swordsman by Antheum's people. Musashi training under him will no doubt pay off in the long run.
83%%* SwordCane: His weapon.
84
85!!Banon
86Mycella's father, he's the leader of the Mystics of Antheum. He can help Musashi during his quest by driving the [[SpaceWhale Anthedon]] to the needed location.
87----
88* AccidentalPervert: He makes the big mistake of running into [[spoiler:Clochette]] while she was changing her clothes, haven't yet realized that she truly performed a [[spoiler:HeelFaceTurn]].
89* BigGood: Similar to his daughter. He informs Musashi on the history of Antheum, and uses the Anthedon take Musashi wherever he wants to go.
90%%* NiceGuy
91%%* ReasonableAuthorityFigure
92[[/folder]]

94[[folder:Elemental Maidens]]
95!!Burrini (Tamie)
96[[quoteright:190:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/TVTropesBurrini_7691.jpg]]
97!!!'''Voiced by:''' Nanri Yuuka (Japanese), Vicki Glass (English)
98
99The Earth Maiden, a kindhearted girl who works at her father Tunnbrod's Bakery. She's very close to animals and enjoys picnics.
100----
101* ActionGirl: A very minor example, because we never see her in action, but she was crucial to locking away Gorpus in a giant urn with her Sword of Earth, and she even says that she wouldn't be able to take him head-on if she had to.
102* DamselInDistress: The first time you meet her in the Wellspring Woods.
103* DishingOutDirt: That's her element.
104* DubNameChange: From Tamie.
105* ElementalEyeColors: This Maiden of Earth has green eyes.
106* FriendToAllLivingThings: As her artwork above shows, she especially loves birds and squirrels.
107* GreenThumb: Possibly, she also wears a small girdle of flowers.
108* {{Leitmotif}}: ''"Gaia Serenade"''.
109* TheMedic: A side-mission late in the game has Musashi take her back through Manglewood to look for special mushrooms, so she can make a medicine with them that can heal Mayday's broken wing.
110* MsFanservice: A rather innocent one. She's one of the more well-endowed maidens, but the only mention of her appeal from certain [=NPCs=] is her kind and warm personality.
111* SarcasmBlind: She thinks "Mayday" is a suitable name for a bluebird...
112* ShowgirlSkirt
113
114!!Fontina (Ricotta)
115[[quoteright:164:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/TVTropesFontina_7459.jpg]]
116!!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/MiyuMatsuki (Japanese), Michele Stayner (English)
117
118The Water Maiden, she was kept prisoner in the Roquefort Mine and used as a power source. At first, she's quite hostile and rude to Musashi, even after he's just rescued her and repaired her glasses, and states that they don't need his help. She eventually mellows down and decides to help Musashi.
119----
120* BespectacledCutie: One NPC even says her glasses are her biggest appeal. [[spoiler:Said NPC offers her flowers during TheStinger]].
121* BlindWithoutEm: So much that she falls asleep without her glasses, and they're made from a very rare material to boot.
122* DamselInDistress: She was locked up in a jar similar to Mycella's where her powers were used as a energy source deep within Roquefort Mine.
123* DubNameChange: From Ricotta.
124* ElementalEyeColors: This Maiden of Water has blue eyes.
125* EurekaMoment: [[spoiler:She's the first to discover that the Anthedon can revive Mycella, when the fountain in the middle of Antheum lights up at the end of the game]].
126* {{Leitmotif}}: ''"Aqua Memory"''.
127* MakingASplash: It is even implied in her argument with Musashi that she has some sort of fighting skill with her Sword of Water, though we never get to see this and Musashi knows that Gandrake would likely [[CurbStompBattle beat her in no time flat]], anyway.
128* MeaningfulName[=/=]PunnyName: She's named (in both versions) after an Italian cheese. Furthermore, the ricotta has also a bitter taste, but its very soft.
129* RedBaron: Glogg dubbed her ''"The Water Wench"''.
130* ThereAreNoTherapists: Eventually she gets over her issues after talking to Musashi.
131* {{Tsundere}}: Only at first, but quickly grows out of it.
132* UngratefulBitch: After Musashi saved her from the mines, bring her back home and bring her new glasses, the first thing she does is to insult him and say that they can beat Gandrake without his help. After getting into an argument with Musashi over this, she eventually breaks and then gets better once he offers her some pep talk.
133
134!!Mirabo and Maribo (Murol and Murolait)
135[[quoteright:190:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/TVTropesMiraboMaribo_6941.jpg]]
136!!!'''Both voiced by:''' Creator/MisatoFukuen (Japanese), Bianca Allen (English)
137
138The Fire Maidens, a pair of cute young twins with powers over fire. They went to Mount Terroir to calm down its guardian, Moltan, but they're captured by Gandrake's men who are operating in the vicinity.
139----
140* ColorCodedForYourConvenience: Mirabo has a pink dress while Maribo has a dark red one.
141* CurtainsMatchTheWindow: The twins have red eyes and their hair is a vibrant shade of red.
142* {{Cute Witch}}es: Although they're not actually witches, their clothes give off this allusion.
143* DamselInDistress: Mirabo was used to (incompletely) power Riesling's pyroclastic modulator in Mt. Terroir, while Maribo was sent to the Nebulium Tower where Mycella was kept [[spoiler:and ''is'' kept at again with her]].
144* DubNameChange: From Murol to Mirabo, and Murolait to Maribo.
145* ElementalEyeColors: These twin Maidens of Fire both have red eyes.
146* GirlishPigtails: Mirabo's point upward while Maribo's point downward.
147* {{Leitmotif}}: ''"Symphony of Fire I"'' for Mirabo, ''"Symphony of Fire II"'' for Maribo. Together, the contrasting moods of both songs represent the twins' own RedOniBlueOni.
148* PlayingWithFire: Although they're Fire Maidens, on their own they each only have half of the full power a different maiden would've had, due to their smaller size and younger age. They must both be present in order to awaken the Sword of Fire's hidden power.
149* RedOniBlueOni: Mirabo is spunky and light-hearted, and has an obvious crush on Musashi, while Maribo is calmer and clever, with her crush on Musashi being more subtle.
150* TokenMiniMoe: Mirabo and Maribo are the smallest and youngest of all the ''Maidens'' Musashi has to rescue, whereas all of the other Maidens and even Mycella herself are teenagers.
151* WonderTwinPowers: They can only release the power of the Fire Sword if both of them are present.
152
153!!Istara (Maki)
154[[quoteright:229:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/TVTropesIstara_3486.jpg]]
155!!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/YukiMatsuoka (Japanese), Gerri Sorrells (English)
156
157The Wind Maiden, a skilled swordswoman who lives in the Picodon Jungle and protects it from the invading forces of Gandrake.
158----
159* ActionGirl: Due to her training, she's the most powerful and skilled of all the Maidens, and it shows.
160* BadassInDistress: You need to carry her only for a short sequence.
161* {{BFS}}: Her Sword of Wind actually averts this until she and Musashi release its power, which transforms its shape and plays this trope straight.
162* BlowYouAway: Her element as a maiden, which she can also use for battles.
163* {{Determinator}}: Nothing will stop her from saving Picodon Jungle from Gandrake's forces.
164* DubNameChange: From Maki.
165* ElementalEyeColors: The Maiden of Wind has gold eyes.
166* {{Leitmotif}}: ''"Aeolic Guardian"''. It's the longest Maiden theme in the game, and also plays [[spoiler:when you get to fight her for yourself]].
167* MeaningfulName: "Maki" can refer to Whirlwinds.
168* OddNameOut: She's the only Maiden whose name isn't a cheese pun, and she's also the only one whose eye color (yellow) doesn't match her element at all.
169* {{Tsundere}}: Goes into full ''dere dere'' mode when you give her the "Champion Belt" from her master, or compliment how she looks in her ceremonial garb.
170* WouldHurtAChild: She was ready to shank Malbec at one point. In her defense, [[KidsAreCruel Malbec is kind of a dick]].
171
172!!Clochette
173[[quoteright:137:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/TVTropesClochette_6592.jpg]]
174!!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/AiOrikasa (Japanese), Rumiko Varnes (English)
175
176The Void Maiden, she left Antheum long ago and was hired by Gandrake. Eventually she's discovered and used for reviving the Mouna Temple where the Void Sword is kept. She's eventually saved by Musashi and brought back to Antheum.
177----
178* DarkAndTroubledPast: Actually parodied, when Musashi ask her to tell a serious reason why she sided with Gandrake, she pulls out several clichèd excuses.
179* DarkIsNotEvil: Well, at least not at first.
180* EasilyForgiven: Sort of averted. Banon still holds a grudge against her, but Musashi thinks otherwise.
181* FaceHeelTurn: She sided with Gandrake and even kidnapped Mycella (the second time).
182* HeelFaceTurn: After Gandrake and his five directors finally identify her as the Maiden of the Void, she gets locked up in Mouna Temple, where Musashi bails her out and eventually leads him to the boss that wields the Sword of the Void.
183* {{Jerkass}}: She's quick to anger and complains a lot.
184* {{Leitmotif}}: ''"Vixen Maiden"''.
185* MaleGaze: Implied while she's strapped to a stone lock to revive Mouna Temple. One of the angles she's put in makes it very easy for one of the Ninjaroids working the lock to [[PantyShot look straight up her skirt]].
186-->'''Clochette:''' What do you think you're looking at?! That's going to cost you!
187* MsFanservice: The biggest example in the game. She even makes an ambiguous proposition to Musashi at one point after they finally escape the temple... [[ChasteHero and it flies straight over Musashi's head]].
188-->'''Clochette:''' I'm so grateful, I'd like to express my... ''appreciation''. *giggles*\
189'''Musashi:''' [[IgnoreTheFanservice Well, how about releasing the power of the Sword of the Void?]]\
190'''Clochette:''' [[JustAKid Such a child]]. [[DramaticallyMissingThePoint You missed my point entirely!]]
191* ThePowerOfTheVoid: With the Void being a dark element, this may justify her FaceHeelTurn and subsequent HeelFaceTurn later on.
192* WalkingSpoiler: The sole fact that she was a Maiden that pulled a FaceHeelTurn makes her this. To drive the point home further, she's the only Maiden not labeled as such on other websites, promotional artwork, and even the game's opening, where they all only focused on her being a villain as Gandrake's assistant.

194
195[[folder:Antagonists]]
196!!Gandrake a.k.a. Ganryu
197[[quoteright:190:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/TVTropesGandrake_3402.jpg]]
198!!!Voiced by: Creator/TakehitoKoyasu (Japanese), Douglas Kirk (English)
199
200The evil president of Gandrake Enterprises, and a powerful swordsman. He's kidnapping the Mystics in order to use their powers to fuel his Nebulite engines and is busy mining as much Nebulite as he can. [[spoiler:He's actually revealed to be [[UsefulNotes/SasakiKojiro Kojiro Ganryu Sasaki]], dragged into this world by the demon Amestris (trapped within the Archnembulus) in order to free her. He gets totally nebulized by the evil goddess but is defeated by Musashi]].
201----
202* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: Of course.
203* {{BFS}}: Wields a very long, straight sword, possibly a nodachi. [[spoiler:In his Nebulized form, he gets to use a humongous, multi-pronged sword]].
204* BigBad: His henchmen's invasion of Antheum and kidnapping of Mycella is what sets off the game's plot.
205* BlueOniRedOni: See Musashi's section above.
206* CorruptCorporateExecutive: He may be the president of his own company, but he's nothing short of a ruthless one.
207* DullSurprise: He rarely seems fazed by anything at all.
208* FinalBoss: [[spoiler:His OneWingedAngel form, where he uses Amestris to transform with Nebulite]].
209* LightningBruiser
210* MasterSwordsman: Already known as one long before Musashi is able to reach this level for himself.
211* MirrorBoss: During the first part of his fight, he uses Amestris's powers to turn into a clone of Musashi.
212* OneHitKill: His Returning Swallow counter attack. [[spoiler:It's an instant GameOver if you fail to counter it in his TrueFinalBoss SingleStrokeBattle]].
213* OneWingedAngel: When Amestris takes over, he turns into a black giant made of Nebulite.
214* OrcusOnHisThrone: Almost literally during meetings with his Five Directors.
215* TrueFinalBoss: After Musashi beats his Shadow Musashi form, then beats him again in his nebulized form, he later shows up in Antheum as himself for one final SingleStrokeBattle against Musashi.
216* UltimateLifeForm: He considers himself to be the "Ultimate Form of Life" as [[spoiler:He uses Amestris' powers to nebulize himself]].
217* WorthyOpponent: Sees Musashi as one.
218* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: [[spoiler:One can assume that this is part of why Gandrake has the Archnembulus kill Mycella in the final battle after spending the entire game keeping her hostage to harness her powers]].
219
220!!Rothschild
221[[quoteright:111:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/TVTropesRothschild_4408.jpg]]
222!!!Voiced by: Creator/RyotaroOkiayu (Japanese), Michael Rhys (English)
223
224The Director of Administration and leader of [[QuirkyMinibossSquad Gandrake's Gonin]] ([[DubNameChange Gandrake's Five Directors]]). He's a cold, calculating man who sports a cultured, polite demeanor. He's the one who initially kidnaps Mycella, and is in charge of the Nebulium Tower in Wellspring Woods. He's actually planning to take over Gandrake and even suggests that Musashi join forces with him to do so.
225----
226* BlowYouAway: Can summon annoying whirlwinds and shoot a WaveMotionGun made of air.
227* LesCollaborateurs: Tries to pull one with Musashi, but his offer is refused.
228* TheDragon: To Gandrake
229* DragonAscendant: He takes over Gandrake's place in TheStinger.
230* EyesAlwaysShut: Except for one scene near the end, after his defeat by Musashi.
231* {{Jerkass}}: Despite his polite facade, he quickly reveals himself as a full-fledged asshole if he doesn't get what he wants, as seen when he threatens Burrini in the beginning of the game.
232* LoadBearingBoss: He presses a switch that causes the last area Musashi & Mycella need to travel through to reach Gandrake to collapse, creating the first BottomlessPit in the game.
233* TheStarscream: To Gandrake.
234* SwordCane
235* WickedCultured: Hell yeah.
236
237!!Glogg (Ducassa)
238[[quoteright:192:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/TVTropesGlogg_4398.jpg]]
239!!!Voiced by: Creator/KentaMiyake (Japanese), Murray Johnson (English)
240
241Director of Negotiations, he's the (physically) strongest warrior amongst the Gonin. He's in charge of Roquefort Mine and guarding the Water Maiden.
242----
243* AnchorsAway: His weapon. Used as an EpicFlail.
244* BattleCouple: With Riesling.
245* TheBrute: A more clever version, though.
246* DubNameChange: From Ducassa.
247* HeelFaceTurn: Along with Riesling and Malbec in TheStinger. He's seen at a beach with Riesling fighting over a peek of Clochette's swimsuit.
248* PunchClockVillain: He prefers to go surfing rather than supervise his underlings. Musashi manages to storm his facility twice while he's off skiving.
249* SpinAttack: He attacks by spinning.
250* TeethClenchedTeamwork: Actively claims that he seriously hates his partner. They team up, however, because they've never been defeated while fighting alongside each other until Musashi came along. [[spoiler:They seem to have made up by TheStinger though]].
251
252!!Riesling (Dio)
253[[quoteright:186:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/TVTropesRiesling_4305.jpg]]
254!!!Voiced by: Creator/HirokiTakahashi (Japanese), Michael Naishtut (English)
255
256Director of Security. He's one of the strongest Gonin, but sadly not the brightest. He's quick to anger and is the butt of many jokes. However, he admits that he and Glogg form an invincible pair. He's in charge of Mount Terroir.
257----
258* TheBrute: Shares this position with Glogg.
259* ButtMonkey: Many jokes during meetings are at his expense.
260* ConfusingMultipleNegatives: A death variation, as his PreAsskickingOneLiner before he and Glogg face Musashi.
261-->'''Riesling:''' "Okay, Musashi! We're gonna kill you so dead, you'll wish you were never born... alive..."
262* DualBoss: With Glogg.
263* DubNameChange: From Dio.
264* DumbMuscle: He's not very bright, but can put up a fight.
265* FieryRedHead: He's easy to anger.
266* HeelFaceTurn: Along with Glogg and Malbec in TheStinger. He's seen at a beach with Glogg fighting over a peek of Clochette's swimsuit.
267* {{Malaproper}}[=/=]{{Metaphorgotten}}: He's largely guilty of this when he tries to sound proper.
268-->'''Riesling:''' "We're, uh, demodulating the control systems at Mt. Terroir. We will be, um... operative soon."
269* PreAsskickingOneLiner: See ConfusingMultipleNegatives above.
270* PunchClockVillain: See also Glogg.
271* ReadTheFreakingManual: Failed to do so, not realizing that his pyroclastic modulator needed two Maidens of Fire to work properly instead of one.
272* TeethClenchedTeamwork: Glogg does not like him, and the feeling is mutual, but they're so effective as a team that they were never defeated in combat until Musashi came along. [[spoiler:They seem to have made up by TheStinger though]].
273* ThrowingYourSwordAlwaysWorks
274* TooDumbToLive: He caused a volcanic eruption and awakened a powerful Lava Monster... all because he didn't bother to find the instructions for the machine he was attending to. See ReadTheFreakingManual above.
275
276!!Malbec (Albert)
277[[quoteright:204:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/TVTropesMalbec_7502.jpg]]
