[[quoteright:300:[[labelnote:SPOILERS]]Graham as a Gundam Meister https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/msg00_re_graham_aker.png[[/labelnote]]]]
->'''Main mecha:''' SVMS-01 Union Flag, SVMS-01E Union Flag Graham Aker Custom, "GN Flag" (SVMS-01X Union Flag Custom II), GNX-704T/AC Ahead Sakigake, GNX-U02X Masurao, GNX-Y901TW Susanowo, GNX-903VW Brave (Commander Test Type), GN-001REIV Gundam Exia Repair IV=]

AcePilot of the Union, and something of a {{Fanboy}} when it comes to Japanese things. Graham tends to relate things with Japanese, following some sort of Bushido code, yelling about surpassing Ashura in battle, etc. Despite that, he is one of the best pilots in the world, being the first to deal any substantial damage to a Gundam without a scratch. He also has a bizarre attraction to the Gundams (or more specifically, Exia), often talking about them in romantic terms even as he fights them.

In the second season, he returns wearing a mask, now calling himself Mr. Bushido.

->Voiced by Creator/YuuichiNakamura (Japanese) and Creator/PaulDobson (English)
-----
* TheAce: He excels in every single form of Mobile Suit combat including pulling off maneuvers to claim a quick victory, can read and respond to situations efficiently, and succeeds in giving the Gundam Meisters a run for their money despite his mobile suits being ''heavily'' outclassed by their Gundams.
* AceCustom: The Overflag, GN Flag, and the Ahead Sakigake.
* AcePilot: There are plenty as per a ''Gundam'' series, but Graham particularly stands out as one of the absolute best in this show.
* ArrogantKungFuGuy: As Mr. Bushido in the Second Season, he refuses to fight enemies that he feels won't put up an interesting fight.
* AscendedFanboy: He's a {{Fanboy}} of Japanese culture, particularly the Samurai warriors, which he fully embraces in Season 2. [[spoiler:And his affection towards the Gundams, particularly Exia and its pilot. In the ''Mobile Suit Gundam 00 Festival 10 "Re:vision"'', he joins Celestial Being and replaces Setsuna as Exia's Gundam Meister.]]
* {{Asexual}}: He turned down marrying his commander's daughter because he didn't think himself worthy, and has no love interests/shown no romantic interest in anyone. The closest he's come to being attracted to anything ''is the Gundams,'' particularly Exia, [[spoiler:which he ends up the dedicated pilot of as a Gundam Meister, considering it destiny.]]
* TheAtoner: Much like the rest of the surviving A-Laws members, he wishes to make up for everything he has done.
* BadassNormal: One of the few pilots without any medical enhancements or special properties who can go toe-to-toe with a Gundam.
* BackFromTheDead: [[spoiler:Survives being seemingly exploded at the end of season 1 to show up again in season 2 as " Mr. Bushido". Similarly gets {{Retcon}}ed to have survived ''Trailblazer'' in the ''00'' 10th anniversary stories thanks to the ELS saving various humans after Setsuna was able to make contact with them.]]
* BetterToDieThanBeKilled: [[spoiler:When the ELS begin assimliating Graham's Brave, he activates his self-destruct and sacrifices himself to clear a path for Setsuna. Good thing he survived though.]]
* BloodFromTheMouth: He has this when he hits some high-speed maneuvers in some of his suits, [[spoiler:most notably his showdown with Throne Eins in his Overflag, and during his face-off with the 00 Raiser in the Masurao.]]
* BloodKnight: He becomes a low-key version of this specifically against Celestial Being in season 2, [[spoiler:adopting some sort of Bushido/warrior's code for the sake of 'power' to defeat the Gundams but not truly understanding ''why'' they fight each other until his final clash with OO Gundam]].
* BoisterousBruiser: He had his moments.
* BunnyEarsLawyer: He's a Japanophile all right, and has lots of honor issues. But still one of the best pilots that Union or A-Laws can offer, to the point where the A-Laws give him special dispensation to do whatever he wants during battles.
* [[CelibateHero Celibate]] [[TheRival Rival]]: [[AllThereInTheManual Supplementary materials]] revealed that he was asked by his commanding officer to marry his daughter, but Graham declined.
* CharacterDevelopment: He goes from being extremely arrogant and bold to being a lot more humble following his defeat by Setsuna.
* ClearMyName: According to [[AllThereInTheManual side-stories]], [[spoiler:Graham accidentally caused the death of his superior officer during a training exercise]] earning him a VERY bad reputation. That's why when Joshua mocked him, he stated that he'll do everything to do just that in the battlefield.
* CloseRangeCombatant: {{Enforced}} along with KatanasAreJustBetter in Season 2 -- all of Graham's- eh, ''Mr. Bushido's'' machines throughout the season are heavily-tuned towards sword-fighting and any ranged weapons they might have are either only for suppressive fire, sparsely used, or straight-up never used (like the Beam Chakram that can be formed and launched from the large antennas on the Masurao and Susanowo). [[spoiler:After he joins Celestial Being following the [=ELS=] conflict, he becomes the new Meister of Gundam Exia.]]
* CoolMask: During his stint as Mr. Bushido to cover his scars.
* CoveredWithScars: From season two onwards due to the wounds he suffered against Setsuna/Exia in the season one finale.
* CustomUniform: [[spoiler:His Celestial Being pilot suit is white with blue shoulders, and the helmet's visor is yellow.]]
* DemotedToExtra: Despite all his [[HotBlooded scenery chewing]], [[TheRival rivalry]] with Setsuna, and popularity among fans, his subplot in the second season was largely irrelevant. Not to the point of being TrappedByMountainLions, but after he got AnAesop delivered to him, he was pretty much sidelined for the rest of the season. He gets a bigger role in TheMovie.
* {{Determinator}}: If he has a goal, nothing will stop him until it’s done.
* DoubleWeapon: The Susanowo's katanas can combine into one.
* DualWielding: The Katanas from Masurao and Susanowo. He also briefly does this in Season One with his Overflag in his fight against the Throne Eins.
* {{Eagleland}}: A loudmouthed American who wholeheartedly believes in the mission of the Union military.
* EveryoneHasStandards: [[spoiler: Even he’s upset about A-Laws’ attack on Katharon.]]
* EverythingsBetterWithSamurai: Dresses up as a samurai and pilots samurai-themed mobile suits in Season Two.
* {{Expy}}: He shares similarities with [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamSEED Yzak Joule.]] Both are HotBlooded young men that end up desiring revenge on the protagonist after they scar them. While Graham doesn't get his scars removed, he, like Yzak calms down at the end.
* AFatherToHisMen: He looks after his subordinates and shows focus on avenging them.
* FragileSpeedster: All his mechs (except his custom Ahead), but ''especially'' the GN Flag.
* GlassCannon: The Masurao and Susanowo can deal out massive melee punishment and the Susanowo and Brave are equipped with a ConvergingStreamWeapon. However, all three are still about as durable (fragile) as most other machines he's piloted.
* GoodScarsEvilScars: [[spoiler:His face is covered with scars after Setsuna nearly kills him at the end of the first season. He wears a mask in the second season, but drops it after his defeat by Setsuna]].
* HalfHumanHybrid: [[spoiler:He becomes partially assimilated by the ELS during his HeroicSarifice, so he becomes half-ELS.]]
* HesBack: Graham was a pretty versatile pilot with his Flag in Season 1 with a challenge-seeking, zealous streak. In Season 2, he limits himself only to high-speed, sword-based combat and while still occassionally delving back into his hammy self, he is much more jaded. Graham returns to his old mannerisms in ''A Wakening Of The Trailblazer'' and opens himself back to a wider range of combat, perhaps best emanated when he performs his [[SignatureMove signature]] hi-speed, hi-G transformation to destroy an entire volley of [=ElSes=]; a move he hadn't done since Season 1.
* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:After the ELS begin to assimilate Graham's Brave, he uses his self-destruct to clear a path for Setsuna. However, ''Mobile Suit Gundam 00 Festival 10 "Re:vision"'' reveals that he survived, although [[HalfHumanHybrid he is now half-ELS.]]]]
* HeterosexualLifePartners: With Billy.
* HiddenHeartOfGold: While he is a soldier and quite stern, underneath it all, he does care for his friends and allies.
* HonorBeforeReason: "Sounds reasonable, '''''too bad I am an unreasonable man!"'''''
* HotBlooded: "HOOOWAAARRRDDD MAAASOOONNN!" and of course, "GUNDAM, THIS FEELING MUST BE LOVE!"
* IGaveMyWord: He promised himself in front of Howard Mason's grave that he'll defeat a Gundam using a Flag and keeps it even during the second season.
* InLoveWithYourCarnage: Became interested upon seeing Exia's CurbStompBattle of the AEU Enact.
* KatanasAreJustBetter: {{Enforced}} with his Season 2 mobile suits as befit with his samurai obsession. [[spoiler:He later becomes Exia's new Gundam Meister, whose primary weapon is changed to a GN Tachi.]]
* LargeHam: Or as fans like to say: [[IncrediblyLamePun Large Graham]]. Even amongst a particularly hammy cast, Graham is easily one of the largest in the show and only becomes more grandstanding in S2. Despite this, people tolerate him because of his [[BunnyEarsLawyer status as the Union's best pilot]].
* LeeroyJenkins: Actually says at one point "And I shall overcome reasoning with my recklessness". (or in English, "Sounds reasonable, too bad I'm an unreasonable man!") This also sums up his battle strategy when fighting Gundams, albeit with slightly more success than Patrick.
* {{Leitmotif}}: "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4QQmcrEEeTg Union]]" and it many variations.
* LetsGetDangerous: "Time for a Lover's embrace, Gundam!"
* LightningBruiser: [[spoiler:His Gundam, Exia hits hard as it hits fast.]]
* MaskingTheDeformity: In Season 2, he wears his Kabuki-style mask due to having burn scars all over his face, a result of having been exposed to GN Tau Drive particles from his last battle with Setsuna F. Seiei in Season 1. He stops wearing the mask by the time of the movie, as part of his HeelFaceTurn and subsequent GoodCostumeSwitch.
* OccidentalOtaku: Minus the obvious obsessiveness, as he learned and respected much of Japanese culture from his best friend and his superior at A-Laws (his best friend's uncle).
* OlderAndWiser: By the movie, he’s outgrown some of his old behaviour.
* OneManArmy: He spells this trope word by word. A-LAWS pretty much lets him do whatever he wants by himself.
* TheOnlyOneAllowedToDefeatYou: He wants to be the one to bring down Setsuna.
* PaperThinDisguise: Technically, Mister Bushido's true identity isn't officially revealed until very late in Season 2, but Graham makes no effort beyond the mask to disguise his identity.
* PetTheDog: He’s very crass, but he still shows appreciation for his allies.
* PickOnSomeoneYourOwnSize: He likes picking on Gundams.
* RagsToRiches: According to [[AllThereInTheManual side stories]], he was orphaned and eventually became a pilot.
* RedStringOfFate: Claims that he and Setsuna are connected connected by this. He then says that ''that'' fate is [[FoeRomanceSubtext to face each other in battle]].
* RedemptionEqualsDeath: [[spoiler:He sacrifices himself in the movie after joining forces with Celestial Being. Subverted when ''Mobile Suit Gundam 00 Festival 10 "Re:vision"'' reveals that he survived and became a Gundam Meister.]]
* RedemptionPromotion: [[spoiler:He's much more effective fighting alongside Celestial Being than he was opposing them.]]
* ScarsAreForever: [[spoiler:He gains a few burn scars and they never go away.]]
* ScreamingWarrior: His hammiest moments are in battle.
* SensitiveGuyAndManlyMan: The manly man to Billy's sensitive guy, although Graham does show his sensitive side from time to time.
* SignatureMove: The Graham Special, a high-speed, high-G, sudden mid-air brake to dodge enemy fire. He first debuts it in the Flag, then a much faster, much deadlier version with his Brave in space in the movie.
* SixthRanger: [[spoiler:He joins forces with Celestial Being about two-thirds through the movie and later becomes a Gundam Meister.]]
* SpannerInTheWorks: [[spoiler:His intervention prevents Setsuna from getting Louise off the deep end.]]
* SuperPrototype:
** The Samurai-themed Masurao and Susanowo. The latter possibly doubles as an AceCustom as it was stated [[AllThereInTheManual in supplemental info]] that they used an Overflag - the one used by one of his wingmen - in its construction.
** The Brave Commander Test Type, which also counts as an AceCustom due to its specs based specifically around the previous Masurao/Susanowo.
* TookALevelInKindness: By the end of the second season, he mostly mellowed out. While back to his old hammy self, he's far less arrogant.
* TransformingMecha: His Flags in Season 1 (Minus the GN Flag), and his Brave Commander Test Type in [[Anime/Gundam00AWakeningOfTheTrailblazer the Movie]].
* UnknownRival: Subverted with Setsuna in Season 2. Setsuna is fully aware that Graham has a score to settle with him since their last bout in Season 1, but he's got other more important priorities and for the most part tells Graham to stop wasting his time whenever they get into an engagement. Funnily enough, Setsuna is literally an Unknown Rival to Graham himself; he never seemed to have actually learned Setsuna's name, always addressing him as "young man".
* UnusualWeaponMounting: The Susanowo's side binders can swivel forward, letting him grab his enemies with its built-in claws.
* VillainousUnderdog: Graham's machines are never a match for the Gundams in terms of overall stats, as they usually have extreme offensive power, but the defense value of rice paper. The Flag he pilots, while a custom, is a mook suit and only slightly better than average, the GN-Flag (being the most extreme) an almost ludicrously underarmoured mecha whose only advantage is it's speed and a weapon (a beam saber from one of the thrones) that can actually damage the Exia; The Ahead Sakigake may be his most well balanced suit (It's his only suit that can survive being shot, and boast considerable close combat ability), but he trades it in once he realizes it's not enough. Hell, the Masurao/Susanowo he trades it in for are MS that, while incredible in performance, were built for nothing else than sheer power and speed, and while they have built in defenses, Graham never uses them, and it gets taken out by little more than beam sabers thru the shoulders. Despite this, thanks to his sheer ability and the know-how to use his suit's strenghts to the fullest, Graham manages to give Setsuna a hell of a fight in every single skirmish they have with every single one of these suits, and comes closer to killing him than anybody not named Ribbons Almark.
* VillainousValor: Graham is almost insanely brave, repeatedly fighting the better armed, better armored Gundams with his inferior machinery.
* WesternSamurai: He's an American samurai mobile suit pilot in Season 2.
* WorthyOpponent: As Mister Bushido, he refuses to fight everyone except for Setsuna, because he believes that Setsuna is the only one who can provide him with an interesting fight.

[[folder:Billy Katagiri]]
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Billy_Katagiri_9348.png]]

A mobile suit developer and friend of Union AcePilot Graham Aker. After the appearance of Celestial Being, Billy, Graham, and Professor Ralph Eifman, who had taught Billy in college, are transferred to the Anti-Gundam Investigative Task Force, later named "Overflags". Billy is a former classmate of Sumeragi Li Noriega (aka Leesa Kujo) and inadvertently leaks information about "Project G" to her and Celestial Being. After the death of Professor Eifman and Howard Mason during an attack by Team Trinity, Billy uses one of the recently acquired GN Drives to upgrade Graham's Flag unit to the GN-Flag in order to fight the Gundams.

By the second season, Billy is taking care of a despondent Kujo, still unaware that she was a member of Celestial Being until Setsuna appears to retrieve her. Shocked by this revelation, Billy joins the A-Laws and becomes the head of mobile suit development. Once again teaming up with Graham Aker, now using the alias Mr. Bushido, Billy develops the Masurao and later the upgraded Susanowo.

->Voiced by Creator/YujiUeda (Japanese) and Creator/KirbyMorrow (English)
-----
* ActionSurvivor: Gets caught in a blast from the Throne Eins's main cannon, but aside from a few injuries, he ends up fine. He becomes more involved in the field during the second season [[spoiler:and still manages to live to the very end]].
* AffablyEvil: Despite unknowingly being against Sumeragi, he still treats her with courtesy and tries to help her out. [[spoiler:By the end of the second season, they're both on better terms.]]
* AllLoveIsUnrequited: [[spoiler:He is in-love with Sumeragi, but she seems to be still in-love with her dead boyfriend Emilio. They seem to be together at the start of season 2, although it's unclear whether the two of them are dating of it they're just FriendsWithBenefits]].
* AmicableExes: [[spoiler: While they never truly dated, he’s on much better terms with Sumeragi at the end of the second season.]]
* AnguishedDeclarationOfLove: [[spoiler:To Sumeragi while sobbing during her CooldownHug.]]
* ButNotTooForeign: Like Saji, he is Japanese-American.
* CannotSpitItOut: To Sumeragi, even though [[spoiler:they lived together for four years between the finale of season 1 up to episode 2 of season 2. Guess they're just FriendsWithBenefits after all]].
* DemotedToExtra: Doesn't get much screentime during the last part of the second season.
* {{Determinator}}: Even with injuries after the Throne Eins blows him away, he still tries to do his job.
* DoggedNiceGuy: He has feeling to Sumeragi, and makes those feelings known, but when she ignores his flirts, he continues to pursue her, to the point where [[spoiler:he eventually tries to kill her for only returning his feelings to pump him for information. They ultimately decide to remain friends and Billy ultimately winds up with Mina Carmine.]]
* EndearinglyDorky: Downplayed. Really only when it comes to trying to court Sumeragi/Leesa. He stops being this for a while in Season 2 after he learned that she was a member of Celestial Being. He's goes back in the movie and has a much more traditional "shy anime guy" portrayal because of his unashamedly-affectionate new flame, Mina.
* TheEngineer: Develops mobile suits from Graham, the Overflags, and the A-Laws.
* EvilGenius: [[spoiler: When he finds out that Sumeragi's a part of Celestial Being, he joins the A-Laws so he can kill her and helps develop their mobile suits.]]
* {{Foreshadowing}}: His relationship with Mina in the movie [[spoiler:is more or less an allegory for the FirstContact between Setsuna and the ELS. In Billy's case, the problem isn't that he needs something like the QAN[T], but he does need to muster the same kind of courage Setsuna does to meet the near-alien-to-Billy Mina's advances head on while assuring it's not a one-sided relationship, and wouldn't you know, it actually ''works'' and makes Mina more considerable of him.]]
--> '''Billy:''' P-Please be gentle...
--> '''Mina:''' [leaning in to kiss him] ''Fufu, roger~''
* FourEyesZeroSoul: Averted. He's a kind man. [[spoiler:Actually zigzagged: when he learns that Sumeragi was a member of Celestial Being, he sacrifices his morals and joins the A-Laws so he can kill her, although Sumeragi convinces him of the error of his ways before he does anything irredemable]].
* GoMadFromTheRevelation: [[spoiler: The rude awakening he got via Setsuna got him little more than angered.]]
* HeterosexualLifePartners: Is practically inseperable with Graham.
* LivingWithTheVillain: With Sumeragi in season 2[[spoiler: although she's retired at that point until Setsuna recruits her again]].
* LockedOutOfTheLoop: Doesn't know Sumeragi works for Celestial Being until [[spoiler:Setsuna arrives to bring her back.]]
* LoveMakesYouCrazy: [[spoiler:Joins the A-Laws to kill Sumeragi after he concludes that she was using his feelings to spy on the Union.]]
* MadScientist: In season 2. Put ''[[{{Yandere}} more emphasis]]'' on the [[ItsPersonal mad part]]. He gets better in the finale.
* MilitaryBrat: Implied, [[spoiler: considering his Uncle is the A-Laws’ commander]].
* MrFixIt: Essentially what he does. He ''is'' a scientist and mechanic after all.
* NiceGuy: He's a kind man that is looking after his kouhai and tries to help Sumeragi out despite unknowingly being one of her foes. [[spoiler:He briefly TookALevelInJerkass after learning the truth, but after making amends with Sumeragi, he reverts to his kind self.]]
* NonActionGuy: Mechanic, not a soldier.
* OfficialCouple: [[spoiler:He gets together with Mina during the movie.]]
* SecondLove: With Mina in the movie, who is a {{Fangirl}} of his scientific prowess and also thinks he's really cute. [[DistractedByTheSexy Billy can't keep his eyes off her, though not for her lack of trying]].
* SensitiveGuyAndManlyMan: Him and Graham respectively.
* TheSmartGuy: He’s very intelligent and is able to make plans of his own.
* TooDumbToLive: Keeps spewing information about what’s happening in the Union to Sumeragi throughout the first season, not even thinking of the consequences.
* TookALevelInKindness: Is much more reasonable in the movie, now that he has resolved his issues with Sumeragi.
* UnwittingPawn: He keeps passing Sumeragi confidential information so he can ask for her input as an excuse to hang out with her. In his defense, he doesn't know [[spoiler:at the time]] that Sumeragi is TheStrategist of Celestial Being. [[SpannerInTheWorks But one could argue about keeping classified information should come first if one's a member of the military]].
* WideEyesAndShrunkenIrises: When he realizes [[spoiler:Setsuna is telling the absolute truth about Sumeragi.]]
* {{Yandere}}: In season 2 after he learns of Sumeragi's true identity, he resolves to kill her in revenge. Fortunately, he gets better.

* AmbiguousSituation: [[spoiler:His death is very much clear, it's just ''who'' sent him the message seconds away from it. It's not clear whether Ribbons or VEDA sent it.]]
* CoolOldGuy: A friendly old man who takes an interest in his subordinates' wellbeing. [[spoiler: Despite never knowing what Sumeragi was up to, he desired to see her again.]]
* DrugsAreBad: He carries a very deep hatred for illegal narcotics. In fact when Celestial Being were about to burn a drug farm he stated that he would rather help the Gundams rather than stop them in that regard.
* TheEngineer: He’s well known for this.
* GadgeteerGenius: Well, he has to be if Billy and Sumeragi are as good as they are.
* HeKnowsTooMuch: [[spoiler:While investigating Celestial Being, Eifman realizes the correlation between the Jupiter incident 120 years ago and Celestial Being triggering an epiphany over Aeolia Schenberg's true philosophical intentions. Unfortunately, as soon as he realizes this a message appears on his computer monitor saying, "[[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin You have witnessed too much]]." Shortly after, the Thrones attacked his research base and Eins fired its [[{{BFG}} GN Mega Launcher]] directly at Eifman's location, vaporizing him before he could reveal the truth to anyone.]]
* KilledOffForReal: [[spoiler: The Trinities’ first onscreen kill.]]
* MentorArchetype: Was Billy and Sumeragi’s teacher.
* MentorOccupationalHazard: He serves as a mentor to Billy and Sumeragi in the past, [[spoiler:only to be killed by the Trinity siblings for uncovering too much. Graham, Billy, and Sumeragi are devastated by the news.]]

* NonActionGuy: He never fights; he's a scientist after all.
* TheProfessor: Was amongst Sumeragi and Billy’s teachers in college.
