History Characters / Gigantor

* AlienPrince: Not that you would know since he passes as a human.

* CanonForeigner: Wasn't in The80s series. Though he did remain one of the show's more popular characters, even in ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWars''.

* ConqueringAlienPrince: His dad rules planets with fear and violence, and Gura sees nothing wrong with this and even helps him expand into more nations.
* CuteMonsterBoy: He may be the son of a giant demonic alien, but he's also innocent, childlike and wants to make his father proud. He has long eyelashes and blue hair that fans out behind his head, which gives him a rather feminine-looking appearance.

* InconsistentSpelling: His name can be [[WebAnimation/{{hololive}} Gura]], Gula or Guura, depending on the choice.

* OtherworldlyTechnicolourHair: Gura is an alien with blue hair.

* TheRival: To Shotaro.

* BigBad: The main antagonist of the 80's anime.

%% * {{Tsundere}}

* SpellMyNameWithAnS: His name can be [[WebAnimation/{{hololive}} Gura]], Gula or Guura, depending on the choice.

* MissingMom: His mom is never mentioned in the story. Given how he's a HumanAlien while Uchuu Maoh is unquestinably demonic, there's a chance that she's either a HumanAlien herself, or Gura is adopted.

* AmnesiacaAreInnocent: When he's unthawed from cryostatis by the scientists, he befriends Shotaro, the Shikishimas and the rest of the humans. Unfortunately, this friendship doesn't last - he eventually regains his memories, and turns against the heroes.

* DarkAndTroubledPast: Kenji, Ryusaku and Tatsu lost their family in [[UsefulNotesWorldWar2 the war]]. As a result they have a strong aversion to weapns, and work on sabotaging weapon development.

-->'''Gura:''' ''He's a noble guy. But he should have thought twice before resisting me. I'll fight anyone that gets in my way!"''

* HumanPopiscle: His father had him put into cryo-sleep for a while to protect him from his destroyed planet.
