Line #18 PlayingWith/NumberTwo


1	'''Basic Trope''': A character that is second in command of a group, officially and otherwise.
2	* '''Straight''': Duos is Uno's Lieutenant.
3	* '''Exaggerated''': Duos is, oh hey, named Duos. His first name happens to be Doble. He's got [[GoofyPrintUnderwear little 2's all over his underoos]]. [[TheCreon He doesn't ever want to be promoted, because being second in command]] is his ''life''.
4	* '''Downplayed''': Uno and Duos are equal partners but Duos follows Uno's lead for whatever reason.
5	* '''Justified''':
6	** [[YouAreInCommandNow Someone has to take over if the leader is killed.]]
7	** Uno is a inspiring and creative leader but he needs Duos for the nuts and bolts of the missions.
8	** Uno is great at devising and executing a mission but he has NoSocialSkills so he needs Duos to be TheFace of the group and meditate internal disputes.
9	** No leader can do everything himself without going crazy. Having someone to help shoulder the burden of command keeps the job from breaking people.
10	** Uno is training Duos for his own command.
11	* '''Inverted''': Duos takes orders from a group of leaders, and gives orders to Uno, his one subordinate.
12	* '''Subverted''': Uno is an UpperClassTwit and Duos is his HyperCompetentSidekick. Duos does all the real commanding and is thus the true [[TheLeader leader.]]
13	* '''Double Subverted''': Uno is ObfuscatingStupidity to focus attention on Duos in case there's a [[TheMole a mole on board.]] Duos is in on this {{plan}} because Uno filled him in and regularly gives him orders.
14	* '''Parodied''':
15	** Duos is not human; he's a walking number.
16	** Duos is a TalkingPoo.
17	* '''Zig Zagged''': Uno and Dous takes turns being TheLeader and the Second-In-Command.
18	* '''Averted''': There is no second in command nor is there a first in command; the crew decides everything by majority vote.
19	* '''Enforced''': The show takes place on a naval vessel and wouldn't look right without a First Mate.
20	* '''Lampshaded''': "Any bright ideas, number two? Number one needs some now."
21	* '''Invoked''': Uno isn't working in any military-type capacity in which he'd actually be assigned a second in command, but he assigns one of his TrueCompanions to the role because he considers it necessary.
22	* '''Exploited''': Duos is not charismatic enough to get appointed as TheLeader on his own, but by positioning himself as TheReliableOne to Uno, he can ride Uno's coattails into a position of authority anyway.
23	* '''Defied''': Duos flips out when realizes he'll be Uno's number two and quits right away.
24	* '''Discussed''': "You'd think that Duos would have taken complete command of TheTeam by now. He's a better leader than Uno and he knows it."
25	* '''Conversed''': "Hey, Duos? Why do you always follow Uno's lead?"
26	* '''Implied''': TheLeader issues orders to TheSquad through an unseen third party.
27	* '''Played For Drama''': Uno and Duos do not get along at all, and frequently disagree on how to lead the group. The conflict between Uno and Duos spills over into problems for the people under their command:
28	** Duos is Uno's CommanderContrarian, hindering the ability of the group to make any decisions at all.
29	** Uno and Duos issue orders that contradict each other.
30	** The entire group loves Uno and hates Duos (or vice versa), and the hated one resents them as a result.
31	** Duos is TheStarscream and leads TheMutiny, causing the group to break into opposing factions.
32	* '''Untwisted''': Duos appears to be the leader of the group, but he is shown speaking to a mysterious man named Uno. Uno is then revealed to be not just someone the group does business with, but the leader of the group.
