* TheScrappy: [[AvertedTrope Averted!]] She managed to nimbly dodge this dreaded trope by being a wise and thoroughly likeable little girl.



* TheWoobie: I dare you to see her cry in Episode 7 and ''not'' feel sorry for her.



* CrazyAwesome: When he goes into Ninja mode.



* StrangledByTheRedString: [[spoiler:With Adette.]]



* TheScrappy: Among the show's fandom, Asuham is often considered an uninteresting, one-note villain for his obsession with capturing Gain and his MotiveDecay.



* EnsembleDarkhorse: A fan favourite since early episodes.



* MoralEventHorizon: He won't look so funny anymore, when you'll see him [[spoiler:crushing a City Unit under the Crystal of Agate]].



* ThatOneBoss: In the ''SuperRobotWars'' episodes where it appears, the Overdevil is considered one of the toughest bosses.
** The kicker? You have to fight it repeatedly due to it being EliteMook material. Hint: kill all EliteMook Overdevils FIRST.
*** Make that BossInMookClothing material.
