Characters: Mobile Suit Gundam 00 Innovades
|
Tropes associated with the Innovades:
open/close all folders Innovades as a whole Ribbons Almark Initially appearing as a mysterious and seemingly minor character, he had maybe seven lines and a smirk in season one while he was employed by Alejandro Corner to help him take over the world and whatnot. Then during episode 25, he phoned Alejandro to let him know something important spoiler Ribbons was going to take all of Alejandro's screen time after he had been dispatched painfully by Setsuna . In season two, Ribbons's role is... considerably expanded. In fact, he's now the series' Big Bad and sees himself as a kindly angel who is leading most of humanity to the stars. The rest of them get to die. He's also quite the master of awkward conversation. Just see the episode where Tieria dresses as a woman for a prime example. Apparently headshotted to death by Regene Regetta, but he appears in the next episode because Regene fell to his Cloning Gambit. Finally bit the dust in the Grand Finale thanks to Setsuna. Voiced by Tohru Furuya (Japanese) and Michael Adamtwaite (English)
- Abusive Parent: To the Trinity Siblings. First, he screwed his "children" to Ali Al-Saachez after using them. In Episode 21 of season 2, He baits Nena to Louise in order for the latter to exact her revenge.
- Affably Evil
- A God Am I and Dark Messiah
- Armor-Piercing Slap: He's gotten fond of this in the second season; Liu-Mei and Regene can attest to the armour-piercing factor. spoiler
Regene wasn't floored, however, despite losing glasses. Either Ribbons was going easy or he needs to work out more . - Attack Drones: The Reborns Cannon/Gundam has GN Fangs.
- Audience Participation: A lot of people like to yell "FUCKING RIBBONS" whenever he appears post-Reveal. AND WITH FUCKING GOOD REASON, TOO.
- Bastard Understudy
- Big Bad
- Boom, Headshot: Subverted if he reuploaded his conscience to another body, or Averted, if the one shot by Regene is indeed a clone.
- Broken Pedestal: Maybe to Setsuna.
- The Chessmaster
- Chronic Backstabbing Disorder
- Cloning Gambit: He manages to clone a massive amount of Innovators (Bring and Divine). Beforehand, it was played straight as a Batman Gambit against Regene.
- Complete Monster: He just doesn't see himself this way.
- Death by Irony: He was killed by the very boy he saved, inside the very Mobile Suit he used to save him. And said boy is also the one who inspired him to be plans and ruined it just when he was on the cusp of completion.
- Death Is Cheap: Was killed at least twice. As apparently all other Innovators, he has a valid backup copy of his memory inside Veda. The reanimation was just a matter of downloading a conscience into a new clone body.
- Diabolical Mastermind
- Draco in Leather Pants: Having the man who voiced the very first Gundam protagonist as his seiyuu didn't help.
- Enigmatic Minion: To Alejandro
- Evil Gloating
- Evil Overlord
- Fallen Hero:
He was once known as Amuro Ray, nemesis of the Red Comet Char. Considering he was a Gundam Meister, he may well be one. - Fan Nickname: "Bad Amuro", for his voice actor. "FUCKING RIBBONS" after his BIG revelation.
- Foe Yay: With Tieria. Lampshaded by Furuya himself in an interview, where he states that he was told to voice Ribbons in a highly erotic manner during the scene where he bribes Tieria with renewed access to Veda.
- Ho Yay: invoked With Alejandro. Confirmed in the Special Edition. spoiler
It's all an act on Ribbons part, seeing as he is, you know, a Manipulative Bastard. Manipulating Alejandro that way was probably the easiest way to get the man to do what he wanted. Considering that Alejandro did fall for it, this is at least one-sided Ho Yay with Ribbons posing as a Honey Trap. It still counts. - Kick the Son of a Bitch: "Know your place, you greedy little girl!"
- Love to Hate
- Magnificent Bastard: Completely plays everyone in the first season. All while pretending to be a minor character.
- Man Behind the Man: To Alejandro, too. Sometimes literally.
- Mind Control
- Moral Event Horizon: Like Ali, he crosses this very often even before the series starts.
- My Hero Zero: Pilots the O Gundam, The Hero's childhood hero. Twice.)
- Mythology Gag / Actor Allusion / Shout Out: Aside from the fact that he was voiced by Furuya Touru, he also piloted 0 Gundam... which resembles RX-78 with a GN Drive. He even declares 'I was the first to pilot a Gundam!' Yeah, WE KNOW THAT, Furuya! Get over it.
- His final mobile suit is a giant mobile suit, painted in red, with two huge cannon on its shoulder. In his interview he jokingly refer to Ribbons Cannon, a reference to Guncannon... though it looks more like Ideon. In any case it seems like a huge shout out to Tomino himself.
- Wrong! It turns out it's a Gundam with Fin Fangs.
- Obfuscating Stupidity: Spends this during the entire first season. It's called pulling off a Not So Small Role with style.
- Opposite-Sex Clone: Has one in Hiling Care... sort of.
- Playing Against Type: Voiced by the ever-heroic Tohru Furuya, the man behind none other than Amuro Ray himself. Now, think of that for a moment...
- Pride: shown to displayed a superiority complex he always looked down on humanity he also also described himself superior to other Innovades his confidence of himself is at the point of arrogance which made him more of a second coming of Lucifer
- Purple Eyes
- "The Reason You Suck" Speech: He usually say these to people before killing them, or having them killed. In order, the people he gave this speech to are Alejandro Corner, Nena Trinity, Regene Regetta and Tieria Erde.
- Subverted in Tieria's case as he not only hijacks Veda back, but delivers his own reason you suck speech right back at Ribbons whilst he's battling Setsuna.
- Shadow Dictator
- Slouch of Villainy
- Spell My Name with an S: After romanizing his name as "Livonze" or other variants for several episodes, many fans were quite surprised to learn that the official spelling really was Ribbons!
- The Starscream
- Transforming Mecha: His second to last MS, the Reborns Gundam/Cannon.
- Treacherous Advisor: To Alejandro. Yet again.
- The Rival: After Setsuna after Setsuna gets his attention. Ironic since they only interact twice and don't even meet until halfway through season two
- Übermensch
- Villain Decay: Ribbons is a Magnificent Bastard in season 1, and is a Smug Snake in season 2, with one hell of an idiotic plan involving Kamikaze robots.
- Villainous Breakdown: Setsuna causes him to experience twice; first by defeating Revive and showing that he was stronger than Ribbons. Second when he turns Ribbons almost certain victory around and shatters his link to Veda ruining decades of planning in two minutes.
- Villain Team Up: With Grace O' Connor in Super Robot Wars Z 2
- Visionary Villain
- Where It All Began: His final mobile suit is O Gundam, the very first Gundam in the show and the first mobile suit Ribbons ever piloted. It's also a take back to the original gundam, since the RX-78-2 and O look exactly alike and Ribbons IS Amuro.
- Would Hit a Girl: He knocks out Sheyrl Nome and Ranka Lee in the epilogue of Scenario 44 of Super Robot Wars Z 2 as per his agreement with Grace O' Connor.
- You Gotta Have Greenish Hair
Regene Regetta A person who looks exactly like Tieria Erde, Regene made his first appearance in the season 1 finale accompanying Louise in an elevator. In season 2, he is seen working with Ribbons and the other Innovators. Although he works closely with Ribbons, the two do not always see eye to eye. As a result, Regene often acts of his own will to complete the plan Aeolia intended in his own way, from offering Tieria to join the Innovators to leaking Veda's location to Wang Liu Mei. However, Fucking Ribbons was a step ahead of Regene and had Ali Al-Saachez kill him while he attempted to kill Ribbons. However, Regene's consciousness transferred into Veda, helping Tieria do the same and both cancel Ribbons' link with Veda. Voiced by Romi Park (Japanese) and Nicole Oliver (English)
Revive Revival Revive Revival is an Innovator who is the genetic twin of Anew Returner, and pilot of the Gadessa. Joined the A-Laws under the rank of captain, though with a special license like Mr. Bushido to act independent, Revive agrees to follow Kati Mannequin's battle strategies. Revive usually attempts to pinpoint the Ptolemaios II's location using quantum brainwaves and Anew. Later, Revive allows himself to be captured by Celestial Being in order to wake Anew so they can steal the 00 Gundam and 0 Raiser, but the attempt is thwarted. Revive is killed by Lyle Dylandy (Anew's boyfriend) during the climatic battle at the end of the second series when the Cherudim Gundam targets the Gadessa's cockpit. Voiced by Mitsuki Saiga (Japanese) and Jillian Michaels (English)
Hiling Care Hiling Care is an Innovator and the genetic twin of Ribbons Almark. Joining Revive Revival with the A-Laws, Hiling is eager to battle with the Celestial Being and the Gundams. Hiling also frequently teases her comrades. Hiling pilots a Gadessa and later a Garazzo in several operations against the Ptolemaios II. She is later ordered by Ribbons to retreat from A-Laws to help in defending Veda. In the final battles, she is killed by H/Allelujah, crying out to Ribbons to save her as she dies. Voiced by Miyuki Kawasho (Japanese) and Brenna O'Brien (English)
- Bifauxnen: She was a Badass in a Nice Suit in a tux on her first appearance.
- Boisterous Bruiser
- The Brute: She fights like one at least.

- Dark Action Girl
- Distaff Counterpart: Of Ribbons.
- Famous Last Words: RIBBONS, SAVE ME..!

- The Mario: Have no problem fighting in a close-range mobile suit like the Garazzo, or a long-range one like the Gadessa.

- Perky Female Minion
- Pettanko: so much so, that one scene that showed her with a larger bust was actually edited down for the DVD.
- Purple Eyes
- "The Reason You Suck" Speech: She sure loves belittling her opponents. She received one herself before she dies.
- She's A Man in the Philippines: The Filipino dub inexplicably turned Hiling into a male, even giving her a MALE voice actor.
- The Smurfette Principle: The only "clear" woman among the group. Excluding the sacrificial Manchurian Agent.
- You Gotta Have Greenish Hair
- Spell My Name with an S: There has been confusion over whether her name is 'Hiling', 'Hilling', or 'Healing', though 'Hiling' seems to be the official English spelling.
