History Characters / OutlawStar

* SpotlightStealingSquad: A villainous example. They get far more prominently featured than the Kei Pirates and fighting them gets far more focus in episodes.

** His apprentice manages to change the tone even bleaker even more so than [[spoiler:Leilong]], with his onscreen appearances having a tense air of threat and lacking any comedic elements like the latter fight, including Aisha's comedic reaction to the trap- being a skilled gunman with a serious demeanor played completely straight.

* WalkingArmory: Shimi [[spoiler:a.k.a. Leilong]] has a ''lot'' of weapons including a light-shield, a device that allows for flight, a sword, etc.- to the point he always carries a huge case for any weapon he might potentially need for any situation as his trademark. He's also not entirely reliant on it as a skilled martial artist.

* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: "Shimi" is his alias, his real name is [[spoiler: Leilong]], widely regarded as one of the most feared members of The Anten Seven.

* FakingTheDead: He pretends to die in his duel with Gene in order to retire as a Space Pirate.

* NobleDemon: Nothing short of polite to Gene during their initial encounter, and after he defeats Gene fairly and soundly in combat, offers to settle things with a duel.
* RetiredBadass: Seeing how close Gene and his crew were is what made him change his mind about killing him. They were good people and they were loyal to each other. So Shimi threw the fight in order to fake his death. Once he was certain they were gone, he dug himself out and said he was done with being an assassin.

* StrongAndSkilled: While the rest of the Anten Seven are powerful, they tend to be skilled in only one area with nothing else other than their trademark. Shimi, on the other hand, is skilled in various weapons- always carrying a large metal case containing any weapon he might need for the situation at hand, but is also immensely skilled in martial arts. It's heavily implied that Shimi was the strongest of the seven with only subtle signs of self-loathing at his job that prevented him from killing Gene's group outright [[spoiler:and faking his death to leave the guild]], leaving Hazanko, having to rely on the weaker but still dangerous other members to finish the job in their area of expertise- though their combined failures gradually build up until Hazanko outright gives up on sending them to their potential deaths in individual missions altogether- keeping the remaining ones as his PraetorianGuard to face any dangers in the Leyline.

* WalkingArmory: Shimi [[spoiler:a.k.a. Leilong]] has a ''lot'' of weapons.
* WalkingTheEarth: Right as he took his leave, he said he'd just wander aimlessly.

* {{Archenemy}}: While Ron is the driving reason why Gene goes about the brothers, due to Ron's indifference towards Gene outside of being a target, it's one-sided on Gene
s part. Harry and Gene, on the other hand, gradually become deeply antagonistic towards each other due to their relationship with Melfina, leading to a very personal grudge on both sides. Gene hates Harry for causing Hilda's death, abusing Melfina both emotionally/mentally while trying to take her away from him, and trying to kill him several times. Harry despises Gene for causing his gradual descent into losing his body parts, but more significantly, getting in the way of him taking Melfina for his own. [[spoiler:Eventually, the two come to an understanding that Gene is the better fit for Melfina as Harry sacrifices himself to allow Gene to rescue her]].

* VillainousBreakdown: While Harry starts off as [[SmugSnake insufferably smug]] when cornered by Gene, he immediately folds when Gene actually shoots him in the arm, whining like a child and showing intense fear when Gene has a gun to his head. When he manages to escape, Harry [[MadnessMantra repeatedly talks about blowing the crew of the Outlaw Star up]] while looking completely irate. This instability continues into his next appearance where he [[MoodSwinger switches between eerily serene and violently infuriated with Melfina]]. It takes until the third appearance for him to completely mellow out and begin to react normally.

* SanityStrengthening. Harry starts as an AxCrazy StalkerWithACrush to Melfina, but as the series goes on he generally becomes more calm and stable, albeit still delusional about his relationship with her.
* StalkerWithACrush: Harry becomes obsessed with Melfina from the moment he lays eyes on her, and spends the remainder of the series trying to make her his own. Especially in Episode 17, [[DissonantSerenity and it's never]] [[MoodWhiplash been more terrifying]] as the scenario becomes eerily reminiscent of domestic abuse.

* EntitledToHaveYou: Harry feels that he and Melfina are perfect for each other and it frustrates him that she doesn't agree.

Three wizards named Urt, Hadul and Ark Manaf that landed on the planet Tenrei a hundred years ago, hoping to find a powerful element known as mana. Gene seeks them out to find caster shells numbers 4, 9, and 13, all of which were needed in the final battle at the Leyline.

* BullyingADragon: Trying to take on a high-level Tao Master, such as Hazanko, on his own was not the brightest move in Harry's career.

* {{Yandere}}: Absolutely crazy about Melfina and he will try to get rid of anyone who gets near her. Best shown in Episode 17, which depicted an unsettling realistic portrayal of an abusive relationship with a bipolar psychopathic stalker, with Melfina being the victim.

* DangerousForbiddenTechnique: Caster shells no.s 4, 9, and 13 are extremely rare and just as dangerous to use, as each one drains a portion of the user's lifeforce, when fired. But, above all, the user is warned not to fire ''all three consecutively'', or they'll die. [[spoiler: [[ForegoneConclusion Guess what Gene ends up doing]]]]?

* DirtyOldWoman: Urt is quite perverted herself. Not only was she happy to make a nude video of herself[[spoiler:even if it was rigged to self destruct]], as a reward if Gene beat her in a ping-pong match, she asked for a rematch and requested a nude video of him if she won.

* ALighterShadeOfBlack: Not as self-loathing of his profession as Shimi[[spoiler:/ Leilong]] but not as underhanded arrogant, or sadisitc as any of the other members. He tries to capture Melfina on his own, tries to talk Suzuka into not interfering and genuinely comes to respect her as a fighter, even as she kills him.

* NobleDemon: Not directly stated, but implied. Unlike the other Kei Pirates, he fights Suzuka on his own without the backup of the robotic minions, show the typical sadisitic arrogance, or uses dirty tricks to get the upper hand. He respects Suzuka's skills as a fighter and genuinely compliments her for her technique as she kills him.

* DirtyCoward: Suzuka straight-up calls him this to his face before killing him. He prefers to poison his victims and is very confident that the crew won't be able to retaliate while Gene is incapacitated. When Suzuka corners him, he immediately tries to beg for his life and tries to take her life immediately afterward in a split second. He also never attacks without backup, even when trying to make a bargain with Jim for a cure for Gene's condition.

* TheyLookJustLikeEveryoneElse: To a lesser extent than Shimi. Hanmyo appears as a normal girl with two cats to the average onlooker who doesn't know of her true nature as an assassin. She dresses much more normally than the other five that look decidedly extravagant and even inhuman.

* KilledMidSentence: His gloating is cut short when geysers of his own blood suddenly erupted all over his body. Each one marked a spot Aisha had attacked, too fast for his eyes to perceive them.

An assassin that poison Gene and attempts to steal the Outlaw Star, only to be killed off by Suzuka.

* SmugSnake: Even for an underhanded pirate, he takes far too much pleasure in tormenting his targets, and is easily the most arrogant and condescending pirate apart of the Kei Pirates without the power to back it up, casually mocking the crew if he thinks he has the upper hand.

* EvilGenius: Implied to be the major architect of the entire Leyline Project along with Gwen Khan, and is intelligent enough to figure out a way into the Leyline without the navigation system. As a Kei Leader of the Pirates, he handled the logistics of his organization. His unquestioned skill in Tao Magic requires immense knowledge, as he is familiar with old magic used for caster guns as well. He is also very evil.

* HeroKiller: He is every bit the ultimate Tao Master he is built up to be. Just ask [[spoiler: Harry]]. He even succeeded in [[spoiler: killing Gene when they finally confront each other, though he was killed in the process. He got better, and]] he managed to get all his power from the Leyline.

* TheSociopath: Out of all of the already murderous rogues gallery, Hazanko is the one who is a genuine high-functioning sociopath that's played frighteningly realistic despite his supernatural abilities. He has a colossal [[LackOfEmpathy lack of concern]] for both the minions he constantly throws to get back the XGP- not caring for when they die outside of mild annoyance and how his ambitions cause harm to others- notably lacking the [[EvenEvilHasLovedOnes trait of camaraderie for comrades that even the MacDougal Brothers and his own subordinates share]]. While genuinely powerful in political/supernatural power, Hazanko [[AllAboutMe egotistically believes that absolute power should be his- not his superiors- the Tendo King and the Tempa Emperors and that his minions are just pawns]]. While he abides by the rules of the guild, it's more of a means to an end to get to the Leyline- rules he throws away once the Overseer starts to pry further into questioning his motives. He's heavily implied to use a mask (both literally and metaphorically) of charisma to hide his truly psychotic and megalomaniacal personality. While he tries to be calm at all times, he will lash out with disproportionate violence to those who anger him to the point he's known for his reputation of being the most brutal of the Kei leaders [[spoiler: with Gwen immediately guessing his handiwork upon seeing Harry's mangled body]], and proves to be the most monstrous enemy Gene and company face.

* {{Narcissist}}: It's not obvious at first, but Hazanko is heavily implied to have an overblown and bloated view of himself as the perfect being deep down beneath his regal persona. He prefers to have his face covered in a mask at all times to not appear as a lowly mortal and to cover his scars and missing eye. His disproportionately violent reaction at Harry breaking his mask when before he was mostly indifferent speaks volumes.

* TheStoic: His mask does a good job of hiding what a psycho he truly is under that royal façade.

* TheUnfettered: The low level minions knows he will stop at nothing to have his missions complete, and he proves it, with his sheer determination to reach the Leyline before anyone else. He doesn't care who has to die, even if his own minions die in the process, as long as he gets his ultimate prize.

* AntiVillain: By the time he faced off with Gene, Shimi expressed his exasperation in killing people and went as far as to [[spoiler:throw the fight and fake his death]] to permanetly cut his ties to the Kei Pirates.

* ILetYouWin: Shimi [[spoiler:, *ahem* Leilong,]] had deliberately allowed Gene to win as part his intention to retire.

->'''Played By:''' Chiyako Shibahara (JP), Creator/BarbaraGoodson (EN)

* AmbiguiousSituation: Exactly what species Iraga is unknown. When it's initially implied that she's a wolf subspecies of Ctarl-Ctarl, Aisha, a Ctarl-Ctarl herself with full knowledge of her race, insists that Iraga can't be one. Meaning Iraga belongs to an unknown race of two-tailed werewolf shape-shifters.

* InhumanEyeConcealers: Iraga constantly wears an unusual headgear that conceals her eyes completely outside of two narrow lens, which go to make Iraga look off-putting, even before it's revealed that it conceals her naturally lupine eyes.

* {{Butterface}}: Yeah... Iraga definitely won't be winning any beauty contests and her muscle [[HollywoodPudgy looks more like 'bulk'.]]

* NormalFishInATinyPond: She's a Ctarl-Ctarl, or at least implied to a varient, who entered a tournament where everyones besides Aisha were humans. Besides Aisha, none of them could provide a challenge.
* OurWerewolvesAreDifferent: Implied to be a wolf variant of the Ctarl-Ctarl. Aisha, however, denies the idea, insisting that Ctarl-Ctarl only morph into cats, nothing else.
* WorldsStrongestWoman: Iraga entered a tournament for strongest person in the universe/galaxy and has a pretty good chance of winning, but since her goal was to kill Gene she blew her disguise as Ctarl-Ctarl. She beat the four-time reigning champ less than twenty seconds. But still loses to Aisha after a heated fight.

->'''Played By:''' Creator/TomokoKawakami (JP), Creator/RebeccaForstadt (EN, credited as Reba West)

* BadassLongcoat: More like yellowish cape, but it fits the spirit.

* CombatPragmatist: Gene's tactic for winning a duel to the death? Straight up cheating, of course!

* InstantExpert: Downplayed since he has the Outlaw Star for several weeks before getting into his first space battle, but despite having no prior experience he's able to defeat multiple oppoenents who've presumably been engaging in grappler combat for years.

* LadykillerInLove: Established as a lecherous womanizer since the beginning, Gene eventually abandons his skirt chasing tendencies as he falls in love with Melfina.

* MrFanservice: Let's see: red hair, rougishly handsome, reasonably athletic, shirtless every other scene, scars on every inch of his body, and we can safely assume he's good in bed since he ReallyGetsAround.

* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: Gene is very much afraid of space at the start of the series, because it reminds him of his father's death.

* YouKilledMyFather: He believes Ron [=McDougal=] was responsible for his father's death, due to having seen the Shangri-La[[note]]the name of Ron's ship[[/note]] during the attack on their ship. But when he finally confronts Ron about it, Ron couldn't remember due to [[ProfessionalKiller all the jobs he's accepted over the years.]] Especially since Gene couldn't narrow it down beyond, "10 years ago".

* DirtyCoward: Suzuka straight up calls him this. He prefers to poison his victims and is very confident that the crew won't be able to retaliate while Gene is incapacitated. When Suzuka corners him, he immediately tries to beg for his life and tries to take her life immediately afterward in a split second. He also never attacks without backup, even when trying to make a bargain with Jim for a cure for Gene's condition.
* {{Foil}}: To his partner, Kyokan even if they never interact onscreen. Yase is an underhanded, smug, cowardly fighter that prefers ganging upon his enemies with multiple footsoldiers with battlesuits as a safety measure while also using poison darts to slowly kill his victims, and is sadistic with no respect for his enemies- dying with no dignity as Suzuka mocks him for his cowardice. Kyokan is honorable, respectful, noble in spite of his pirate allegiance, and a lone fighter that prefers to fight alone. He also is a skilled martial artist and Tao Master when his own flail weapon doesn't work. He respects Suzuka enough to tell her to not interfere and later acknowledges her skill as a warrior when he dies at her hands- dying with his dignity intact.

* {{Ninja}}: Not a heavy hitter of the Kei Pirates, he resorts to sneaky tactics. He leads a bunch of Kei Ninja mooks, uses poisoned weapons, and even behind the scenes bribery to throw the crew off.
* SmugSnake: Even for an underhanded pirate, he takes far too much pleasure in tormenting his targets, and easily the most arrogant and condescending pirate, casually mocking the crew if he thinks he has the upper hand.

* {{Foil}} To Yase, his implied partner. Yase is a sadistic, constantly smiling DirtyCoward that relies on one tactic and on allies, beefed up with additional battlesuits for an advantage. Kyokan on the other hand, is heavily implied to be a NobleDemon that attacks without any aid to back him up, is versatile in Tao Magic and martial arts outside of his one flail, and never smiles outside of his death. The former dies without dignity with a feeble attempt to kill her after his own underhanded tactic fails, and the latter dies with respect for Suzuka after one final slah.

->'''Portrayed By:''' Nobuyuki Tanaka (JP, uncredited), Dave Mallow (EN)

* EvenEvilHasStandards: He tries to kill Hazanko for betraying the Tendo King, and has a look of pure disgust.

* {{Hypocrite}}: He calls the [=MacDougal=] Brothers loathsome jackals for being backstabbing killers who have no real loyalty outside of who gets them what they want. While [[HypoctriteHasAPoint he's correct about this fact]], Hazanko is infinitely worse as he's just as backstabbing as they are, having moments before killed the Overseer for getting in the way of his ambitions, let alone his plan to screw over the Tempa Empire by using the Leyline to become a PhysicalGod to kill its leaders, despite having all the authority and privileges given to him for being brutally efficient in terms of literal and political power- using them to get what he wants of them before disposing them. And unlike them, he doesn't have the same sole virtues of doing it for the sake of loved ones, being cruel, selfish, and abusive to the people he knows.

* TheStarscream: It was hinted that he was more powerful than the other leaders, [[spoiler:but his real goal is use the Galactic Leyline in order to overthrow the Tendo King and the Tempa Emperor.]]

* HumanoidAbomination: Downplayed. Seemingly a normal human Tao Wizard, his regal attire, scary mask, and mannerisms seem to emulate something much more horrifying. His more unique Tao Spells and his ungodly level of power veer heavily into this territory. [[spoiler: His virtual spirit form just looks wrong and off-putting compared to every other cyber version of the person who all looks like themselves except wearing cybernetic clothing, while he in comparison, has no visible neck with his face appearing like a clumsily put on mask on the protruded lump, his upper/lower torso/arms are divided by spheres, and his upper legs/lower arms having widened hole gaps- appearing like a misshapen creature that is barely trying to look human. This is in contrast with his usual elegant blue with golden ascent robes, showing how much vanity and inferiority he hides behind his pretense of regality]].

* OrcusOnHisThrone: Does barely anything for most of the series. Prior to the finale, he's barely even appears.

* RealityWarper: [[spoiler: He escapes ''nonexistance'' itself, thanks to counteracting the number 4 caster shell, which essentially creates black holes, and sucks in anyone, at the cost of the user's life force. Hazanko reopens the black hole, pulling himself out in the form of some kind of spiritual demon back into existence, and re-emerges.]]

* {{Starter Villain}}s: The first trio are Gene and Hilda's primary antagonists for the first four episodes until they're killed near the end of the fourth episode. From then on after episodes eight and nine where five of them are the enemies as the [[MonsterOfTheWeek dual episodes' villains]], the [=MacDougall=] Bros. and [[MurderInc the Anten Seven]] led by Hazanko take over as the main antagonists of the series.

* EstablishingCharacterMoment: While Episode 15 shows Hazanko in more enigmatic yet intimidating light. It's Episode 24 that shows who Hazanko is on a fundamental level. He has two elderly sorcerers continue with their ritual despite them being exhausted. When confronted by the Overseer, he initially hides his actions as being a necessity to get to the Leyline. When pressed further, he [[EvilIsHammy bombastically declares his ambitions to overthrow both the Tendo King and the Tempa Emperor]]. He then has him killed along with his guard to hide the evidence.

* GeniusBruiser: Extremely well versed in Tao Magic to the point where [[spoiler: a caster gun will not work, even counteracting an extremely rare, forbidden shell]], he figured out a way, on his own, to penetrate the Leyline's defenses without a navigation system, while plotting against his leaders. He is also familiar with the Leyline Project commands, and generally very knowledgeable. He is also quite large, unimaginably brutal, and more than capable of close quarters combat.

* HumanoidAbomination: Downplayed. Seemingly a normal human Tao Wizard, his regal attire, scary mask, and mannerisms seem to emulate something much more horrifying. His more unique Tao Spells and his ungodly level of power veers heavily into this territory. [[spoiler: His virtual spirit form just looks wrong and offputting]]

* CombatHandFan: She carried a feather lined one, with a concealed blade and was able to negate several of Gene's caster shells with it.

* AxCrazy: His moments of pure, unadulterated, unhinged rage, really contrast his usual stoic, regal manner. Makes sense that he is the leader of the most brutal sect of the Kei Pirates, and his kills are infamous enough that Gwen Khan recognizes his handiwork. He also has enemies or those who displeased him beheaded and presented on a plate in a dinner table.
* BadBoss: Kind of. Despite his fearsome reputation for brutally killing people, he is apathetic to the deaths or well-being of his fleet of grappler ships, and is very demeaning and authoritative with the pirates loyal to him. He seems willing to be patient with his underlings giving bad news, and surprisingly overlooks Tobigera's failure to kill Gene Starwind with nothing more than guard duty for his starship, the Geomancer... [[spoiler: until he merges with the Geomancer, with his remaining assassin and crew still inside, getting gruesomely liquidated into blood.]]

* TheDreaded: The most terrifying figure among the Kei Pirates, and possibly the whole universe, that Gwen Khan is familiar with and doesn't want to cross. Even [[LadyOfWar Suzuka]] seemed worried about this guy.
* EvilOldFolks: An old man who can crush your body if you anger him.

* EvilerThanThou: He is the leader of the 108 stars, the most brutal pirate faction within the Kei Pirates, which is already an infamously cruel guild. In just a few short moments, he has the Tendo King's servant and his assassins killed, and despite the [=MacDougall=] Brothers' usual spotlight stealing villainy, he quickly shows them exactly why he is the BigBad by murdering Harry [=MacDougall=] in cold blood. Unquestionably the most brutal and ruthless of all the villains in his pursuit of power.

* JerkAss: Very nasty to those he deems inferior to him. Considered Shimi, arguably his most reliable assassin, worthless after he finds out he died to Gene Starwind. Regards the [=MacDougall=] Brothers as loathsome jackals to their faces, and never hesitates to remind Melfina that she is just a puppet.
* KickTheDog: The man emotionally breaks Melfina, before and after [[spoiler: suspending her personality]]

* NoNonsenseNemesis: He is deadly serious, if extremely brutal with his enemies. If regular pirates are not cut out for his missions, he usually sends in his most reliable assassin Shimi, first and foremost. When it comes to his overall goal, he is careful enough, and works efficiently to achieve his ultimate goal.
* NotSoStoic: He can get really mad if something unexpected happens, ''especially'' if [[BerserkButton someone breaks his mask]].[[spoiler:Gets a bit more expressive when he merges with his ship.]]

* RealityWarper: [[spoiler: He escapes ''nonexistance'' itself, thanks to counteracting the number 4 caster shell, which essentially creates black holes, and sucks in anyone, at the cost of the user's life force. Hazanko reopens the black hole, and pulling himself out in the form of some kind of spiritual demon, and re-emerges.]]

* AxCrazy: His moments of pure, unadulterated, unhinged rage, really contrasts his usual stoic, regal manner. Makes sense that he is the leader of the most brutal sect of the Kei Pirates, and his kills are infamous enough that Gwen Khan recognizes his handywork. He also has enemies or those who displeased him beheaded and presented on a plate in a dinner table.
* BadBoss: Kind of. Despite his fearsome reputation for brutally killing people, he is apathetic to the deaths or wellbeing of his fleet of grappler ships, is very demeaning and authoritative with the pirates loyal to him. He seems willing to be patient with his underlings giving bad news, and surprisingly overlooks Tobigera's failure to kill Gene Starwind with nothing more than guard duty for his starship, the Geomancer... [[spoiler: until he merges with the Geomancer, with his remaining assassin and crew still inside, getting gruesomely liquidated into blood.]]

* EvilOldFolks: An old man that can crush your body if you anger him.

* {{Archenemy}}: While Ron is the driving reason why Gene goes about the brothers, due to Ron's indifference towards Gene outside of being a target, it's one-sided. Harry and Gene gradually become antagonistic towards each other due to their relationship with Melfina, leading to a very personal grudge on both sides. Gene hates Harry for causing Hilda's death, abusing Melfina both emotionally/mentally while trying to take her away from him, and trying to kill him several times. Harry despises Gene for causing his gradual descent into losing his body parts, but more significantly, getting in the way of him taking Melfina for his own. [[spoiler:Eventually, the two come to an understanding that Gene is the better fit for Melfina as Harry sacrifices himself to allow Gene to rescue her]].

* AbusiveParents: [[spoiler:Is technically Melfina's "father" but has no problems shutting her down to force the crew to comply with his demands. Then at the Leyline, he happily echoes Hazanko's sentiment that she's nothing more than a puppet to be used.]]
* AscendedToAHigherPlaneOfExistence: [[spoiler:In the end, he remains inside the Galatic Leyline while the ''Outlaw Star'' crew leave.]]

'''Gwen Khan:''' "Indeed, I did, though I have no idea what you intend to do with it. Of course, I'll have to ask you to be careful with it, since I'll need it back. It was quite expensive, and a fine piece of craftmanship, if I say so myself."\\

* KarmaHoudini: Betrays and uses practically every major other faction and not only gets off with hardly any comeuppance but also gets everything he wanted in the end.

* VerbalTic: He habitually repeats himself or restates his previous statements with slightly different wording. Also whenever there's a close up of his face, we see that his eyes ''never'' stay still, and are constantly jittering ever so slightly.
* WildCard: For much of the series, it's hard to tell whose side he's really on, since he teams up with Gene, the [=MacDougal=] Bros., and even worked with the Kei Pirates at one point, prior to the start of the series. [[spoiler:No surprise, he was in it for himself the entire time.]]

* FrogMen: Outside his suit, Swanzo's appearance resembles a humanoid amphibian.
* SpaceSuitsAreSCUBAGear: Swanzo wears a suit with a translator (which occasionally glitches), because he could not adapt to human environments.

* {{Cyborg}}: His right arm was replaced with three metal tentacles that can merge into one with a sharp hand-sized blade.

* {{Starter Villain}}s: They're Gene and Hilda's primary antagonists for the first four episodes until they're killed near the end of the fourth episode. From then on, the [=MacDougall=] Bros. and [[MurderInc the Anten Seven]] take over as the main antagonists of the series.
* TooDumbToLive: While they're after the XGP, you think they could've waited when they were out of the gravity well first to try and gain it back. But no, they decide that it would be an ''ample'' time to attack Gene and Hilda when all were in danger of falling into a sun after the [=MacDougalls=] decide to betray the pirates and push the meteorite everyone was on towards it.

** TheLancer: Jim, Gene's partner and NumberTwo who is a much more down-to-earth TeenGenius.

* KilledMidSentence: His gloating is cut short when geysers of his own blood suddenly erupted all over his body. Each one marking a spot Aisha had attacked, too fast for his eyes to perceive them.

* CreepyChild: She is small, pale, and ruthless. "Pagua Sonfa, Pagua Sonfa, Pagua Sonfa...!" is a monotone.

* EvilSorceress: "Pagua Sonfa, Pagua Sonfa, Pagua Sonfa...!" conjure some magic effect for some unfortunate victim.

* EvilOldFolks: He's one of the older Kei Pirates seen.
* EvilSorcerer: He's a power Tao wizard working for the space pirates.

* {{Catchphrase}}: ''"[[BlatantLies I'll pay you when I make it big.]]"'' He uses this so often to try and skip out on a bill that Swanzo and Mikey even muse about it in the finale, wondering if "I'll Pay You When I Make It Big Gene" should be his new outlaw nickname.

* AuthorityGrantsAsskicking: He leads a group of space pirates and is the most powerful among them.

* ThrowtheDogaBone: Very briefly but despite his skills being mostly an InformedAbility and pretty much treated as a joke, he DOES get to join the other Anten Seven members in cutting down the Overseer's team. Not much, nor is much shown, but still something.

* PrideBeforeAFall: Which gets lampshaded during the opening narration of Episode 5, which recounts how and why Aisha lost her former position and status.

* KickTheDog: After escaping the pirates pursuing her on Sentinel, [[spoiler:Hilda shoots Gene point blank in the stomach, who only survived because Jim's PA just happened to be in the right spot to block the bullet. Whether she intended to kill him or not is up for debate.]] Afterward, she softens up and becomes a stern but more supportive figure to Gene that helps to create the foundations of his outlaw beliefs.

* MysteriousPast: Very little is really known about Hilda; her origins, her past, and her exploits are mentioned vaguely at best.

* TakingYouWithMe: [[spoiler:When she realizes there's no possible way to escape, she grabs onto Soi Len and detonates an explosive in her tooth, killing them both.]]

* YoungerThanTheyLook: From her appearance, reputation, and the way she carries herself, one would assume she's in her late 20's-early 30's at least. But according to her profile, she's only 21. [[VagueAge But then again, it's only referenced vaguely in the manga info pages and in the anime, it references her birthdate in the year of '''1988''', heavily implied to be the only factually true indicator in her false Rachel identity]].

%%zce* {{Expy}}: Of Captain Ahab of ''Moby Dick''.

* HandicappedBadass: In spite of losing his arm and eye, it doesn't hamper his determination and will at all.
