History Characters / TheRaid

* {{Catchphrase}}: The brother has a habit of taunting his enemies with "Throw me the ball!" when he hits them with his baseballs.

The main protagonist of the series, formerly a member of the police strike team taking part in the titular raid in the first film. After surviving that, he goes undercover (going by Yuda) to infiltrate the Indonesian underground criminal organizations to topple it down.

* ArmorIsUseless: Averted. Though he ditches his body armor half-way through the first film, it actually does protect him during the fight with the Machete gang. One member lands a blow on him which cuts the armor, but Rama is unharmed.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: Rama is a kind and quiet man, who deeply cares for his comrades and family, but he also just so happens to be one of the best fighters in the series. [[OneManArmy Fighting against armies of mooks and fellow martial artists]], that are [[OneManArmy one men/women armies]] in their own right.
* BroomstickQuarterstaff: After a bunch of prisoners are about to pull a hit on Uco, Ramma who was holding a pushbroom detaches the broom head from the pole and uses it to a decent effect against the would-be assassins before he loses it.
* CharlesAtlasSuperpower: He displays level of strength, speed, stamina and endurance that are nearly superhuman. All thanks to his training and the experiences he has faced in both movies.
* CombatPragmatist: Rama is as resourceful as he is ruthless in a fight. If he isn't beating you to death with martial arts or using weapons. He's either throwing objects, breaking limbs, stabbing people with all sorts of sharp objects, slamming you against walls or any tough surface, headbutting you, or using your own knife to either kill you or your friends. One stand out moment is him using a local restaurant's grill to turn one of his opponents into a two-faced corpse
* CradlingYourKill: A variation of this happens twince in the finale, he lets the dying Assassin and [[spoiler:Uco]], lean against him as they die from fatal karambit wounds.
* DeathFakedForYou: He is listed by the police as [=MIA=] after the disastrous raid in the first film. Allowing him to take a new identity of "Yuda" and go undercover.
* {{Deconstruction}}: Of the ActionHero and InvincibleHero. Rama maybe a badass OneManArmy that can run through dozens of mooks, but he is still human that can be injured and fights because he ''has'' to, rather than for action sake. Not to mention, in almost every aftermath of his fights, he's left bruised, battered, and limping. This is best shown in the first movie during his fight with the machete gang, where Rama's first instinct was to ''run'' rather than bravely faced them head on. It is after that he's cornered that he manages to mustered up the courage to face them head on in order to stay alive. In short, Rama is not invulnerable and has very real chance of being killed despite all his skills. Also unlike most action movie protagonists who usually are the ones looking for action, action comes to ''him'' and he's usually fighting to survive rather than show off.
* DualWielding: Seems to have a habit of engaging in this. He wields both a combat knife and a [[LawmanBaton nightstick]] in the first film. He also uses two weapons several times in the sequel, such as making use of two batons during the prison riot and uses two bottles when fighting his ambushers. After killing the Assassin, he takes his two karambits which becomes useful when [[spoiler:Uco tries to kill him]].

* ItsPersonal: At first, Rama didn't want anything to do against the druglords, Indonesian gangs, and Yakuzas in ''Berandal'', up until Bejo killed his brother. Just after the two worked together to survive the first film, he's now very much interested.

* ProperlyParanoid: Exhibits this trait after his release from prison as part of his infiltration in Bangun's gang. The first thing he does when he gets a new set of clothes is check for a wire and promptly tear it out when he finds it. When he gets to his apartment, he turns up the music loud, swaps out the SIM card he had, and chews out his boss for planting a wire on him when the first meeting Bangun, he had Rama do is strip so he can check the latter's clothes for a wire. He also orders Bunawar and his men to keep their distance due to the danger Bangun and his gang pose.

** When fighting Mad Dog, Rama makes use of a broken fluorescent tube to try and finally take him down, it takes nearly ripping Mad Dog's throat open with said tube to finally put him down.

* AFatherToHisMen: Jaka's incredibly protective of the men under his command. When Rama opens up an escape way under the floorboards, Jaka insists on going first to see if it's safe. Even after they've been outgunned and routed, he insists on finding Bowo and Rama before they leave, and chews out Wahyu telling him to just leave them.

* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He is harsh and short-tempered, but an efficient and moral leader.

* TellMeHowYouFight: Jaka puts himself in harms way constantly to protect his squad, and it's reflected in his fighting style, particularly in the fight with Mad Dog. He uses Judo and counter-attacking heavily, so he lets Mad Dog get in a lot of hits before returning with his own. While Mad Dog's defeats him, his style and his goal is fulfilled - he buys time for his team to get away, sacrificing himself for their safety.

* DesperationAttack: His most notable moments in combat are ones of desperation. Utilizing a breaching axe to slay an attacker is one kind of desperate; reduced to crawling, wounded, past dying enemies and being forced to stab one repeatedly when they grab on to you is ''a whole other kind''. [[TheDeterminator If there's one thing Bowo's not gonna do, it's give up]].

* SuddenSequelDeathSyndrome: [[spoiler:A cut scene shows that Bejo's gang found him and his wife in the sequel and murdered them both]].

* BadGuysDoTheDirtyWork: [[spoiler:With the reveal of him being a DirtyCop, all of his takedowns of gangsters end up falling under this trope. Most notably his murder of Tama.]]
* CombatPragmatist: Makes use of dirty tactics, and uses improvised weapons to compensate for his lack of martial art skill.

* DirtyCoward: When the shooting starts up he's near paralyzed with fear, though when the team is cornered, he's up and shooting with the rest. He runs from Mad Dog... [[KnowWhenToFoldThem which is understandable]], and when he, Dagu and Rama are thrown into unarmed combat, Wahyu does his best even if he isn't as skilled as the other two. [[spoiler:Killing Dagu and using Tama as a way out, however, cements him as this]]. He also refused to search for the other police officers before leaving Tama's apartment.
* HeKnowsTooMuch: Twice: [[spoiler:In the first movie it's part of the reason he's offed in addition to YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness. His corrupt superiors don't need him, and he knows too much about their operation to let him live. In the sequel Bunawar has him killed because he knows Rama's alive, and Bunawar needs Rama to fake his death in order to get into the crime syndicate. Ironically he doesn't think Wahyu knows enough about the corruption to be useful, as the superiors can just shrug off the accusations.]]

* TellMeHowYouFight: In the drug lab fight, we see Wahyu using his environment a lot, slamming thugs into desks, and throwing objects down, and using makeshift weapons - reflective of how he's more than willing to use others to get his goals, and putting others in harms way before himself.

* EveryoneHasStandards: While fighting Mad Dog 2 on 1 would still probably end up with them dying, Dagu's not very happy to have been ordered to abandon Jaka in order to protect Wahyu.
* MauveShirt: Dagu's the nameless SWAT rookie who survived the initial purge that took out all the red shirts. After making it out he receives a bit of character, and we learn his name when they were under fire.
* PintsizedPowerhouse: Like Rama, he's a little on the short side, and like Rama he can kick all kinds of ass. Dagu's fights involve a lot of lifting of his larger opponents. When Rama wants to put move a fridge when under fire, he, Dagu and Agee push it together, until Agee is killed and Rama ends up returning fire. Dagu pushes the fridge into place all by himself.
* TellMeHowYouFight: He's very aggressive during the drug lab fight - he's the first through the door, tackling and body-slamming a thug into debris, chokeslamming another, and full-on sprinting at an attacker while charging straight through projectiles being thrown at him. He's a head-on fighter that runs straight towards his opponents, [[spoiler:which results in him charging ahead of Rama and Andi, but alongside Wahyu, who betrays and shoots him.]]

* CorruptPolitician: A seedy and duplicitous politician who gangsters fight over so they can have him ok their doings.
* GreaterScopeVillain: As a corrupt higher-up official, the many gangs are in a mad frenzy to curry his favor. He's only mentioned by name at the end of the first film, but it's clear that the titular Raid was from his manipulations to [[spoiler:kill Wahyu as he was a loose end]]. He finally appears in the second film, and part of Bejo's gambit is to get his attention so he can have such a high-ranking official in his pocket. Reza makes it clear that he's happy with the war as he can gain more money and influence.

* FauxAffablyEvil: While Tama doesn't really have many scenes, he does come off as a mild-mannered man mocking those around him who he's about to sentence to death. Even when he's ordering the death of the Swat team, he reminds all of his underlings to have fun.
* HellHotel: He runs one, an apartment filled with mostly tenants that have a criminal background, with the higher levels taking part in his more seedier activities.
* NonActionBigBad: Unlike his underlings, Tama has no physical prowess (although that doesn't mean he doesn't take part in executions), he just gives the orders and watches the chaos unfold.

* AffablyEvil: He's one of the lieutenants of a ruthless crime lord, but is friendly and protective of his brother, Rama.
* BecauseImGoodAtIt: This is why he became a gangster. He discovered that he was good at the trade and felt it fit him. He also chooses to remain as one even as his family wanted him home.
* BigBrotherInstinct: Ultimately his reason for helping Rama out when he finds out he's among the SWAT team.
* CombatPragmatist: His status as a gangster would make him this by default, but he really takes the cake when he [[spoiler:uses a piece of broken fluorescent tube to stab Mad Dog in the neck from behind.]]

* EvenEvilCanBeLoved: Despite his gang affiliation, both Rama and their father still love him, with Rama vowing to his father get him out of the building alive at beginning of the first movie and [[spoiler: his murder]] at the hands of Bejo being a driving force behind the plot of the second movie. His father is also grief-stricken when the latter is [[spoiler:at his funeral]]

* GoodOldFisticuffs: Unlike Rama who trains and fights using martial arts, Andi uses brash and reckless punches or street fighting style.

* SuddenSequelDeathSyndrome: [[spoiler:After surviving the first movie, Andi's killed off in the opening scene of the sequel, because he was a threat to a rival gangster]].

* ChallengeSeeker: He finds it more enjoyable to put himself in a disadvantage and create difficulties. This becomes a MemeticMutation in Indonesia.
* DoesntLikeGuns: He believes that firearms detract from the thrill of a fistfight, eagerly dropping his pistol when he has Jaka on gunpoint while the cop only has a knife to defend himself.

* DragonInChief: Works for Tama, but is considerably more powerful and dangerous than him, and the one who faces the team personally. Once Mad Dog is out of the picture, Tama is little more than a plot thread that needs tying up.

* FairPlayVillain: Puts away the gun he has trained on Jaka and later on allows Rama to bandage Andi's wounds before facing them in combat.
* FinalBoss: Tama has no fighting capability whatsoever and is easily subdued once Wahyu reaches him, leaving Mad Dog as the climactic opponent.

* HeroesFightBarehanded: Inverted, because he's a villain who prefers to fight barehanded, while the heroes rely on anything they can find and use to survive.
* ImplacableMan: Mad Dog is anything if not utterly relentless. Kick him in the head, stomp on him, and he's back up again. [[spoiler:Having a piece of fluorescent light stabbed into his throat just makes him even more energetic, [[ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill and it takes breaking both of his arms and slitting his throat with said piece of light to finally kill him]]]].

* LetsFightLikeGentlemen: When he has Jaka at gunpoint, he disarms himself, feeling hand to hand combat is a more worthy endeavor. He even lets Rama untie and bandage Andi's wounds before allowing them to assume fighting stances and attack him. His actor states that it's because he enjoys the thrill of hand to hand combat, and the rush of killing someone with his bare hands.

* PintSizedPowerhouse: He's a fairly short man, shorter than Andi and Rama. He can also match both of them together, and take on more physically imposing fighters like Jaka.

* SortingAlgorithmOfEvil: In the context of the first film he is the "final boss," giving the heroes the hardest fight for the climax. However, in the context of the film series it seems almost odd that one of the strongest gangsters (and Mad Dog does outclass quite a few of the criminals in the sequel) is employed by Tama, a relatively small person in the grand scheme of things. Though Bangun did value Tama's position as a negotiator between the gangs and the corrupt officials, so perhaps that allowed him to employ such a powerful minion.
* VillainousCheekbones: Yayan Ruhian's cheekbones are pretty distinctive and help accentuate his thin figure. They're more present here than the sequel, where he grows a beard.

* {{Jerkass}}: He's not the most pleasant guy to be around. He ends up insulting and threatening Gofar and his sick wife, before trashing their apartment looking for Rama and Bowo.

* NeverBringAKnifeToAFistFight: He and his gang have a hard time hitting Rama with their machetes, and get beaten. When he drops his machete he's able to put up a better fight and can land more hits, up until he picks up the machete again, and the fight goes down hill.

* PostFinalBoss: Technically Rama's last opponent, but compared to the Assassin, he goes down with little difficulty, once Rama gets past his shotgun.
* SmallNameBigEgo: PlayedWith. On the whole, Uco is very well aware it's his father who commands respect and he only reaps the benefits, but he wants to change that by building a name for himself. Eka accuses him of doing this in prison, throwing his weight around because he's the son of a powerful gangster while Uco argues that, with enemies everywhere, it's necessary to use his reputation to gain allies.

* SmugSnake: Not nearly as competent, cunning, or ruthless as he thinks he is. [[spoiler:Despite acting like a big player in the prison, he would have been assassinated if not for Rama's intervention. His first big plan is to secretly orchestrate a disastrous gang war at Bejo's behest, and when his father refuses to take the bait, Uco's outraged reaction quickly gives his involvement away. When he finally does kill his father so he can take over what's left of their organization, he's unable to look the man in the eye during his betrayal]].
* ShotgunsAreJustBetter: In the finale of the film, he steals from midair a shotgun meant for Reza that Bejo had thrown and puts it to good use. [[spoiler:Blowing Reza's brains out point blank, and then finally turning it on Bejo. Shooting him in the leg, the shoulder and finally finishing him off with a blast to the head. He was pretty to close to taking down Rama too.]]
* UnwittingPawn: To both Bejo and Rama. Both men spend most of the movie trying to gain his trust, although Bejo is more explicit on actively manipulating him.
* WouldHitAGirl: He grabs the hair of the karaoke hostess that insulted him, and shoved a mic in her skirt, threatening to rape her. When the other hostess calls for security, he kicks her in the head.

* BattleButler: He serves a concierge role to Bangun and his gang, and when the chips are on the table he's more than willing to get his hands dirty.

* LawmanGoneBad: It's revealed late into the film that he was Rama's predecessor, Bunawar placed him as a spy within the gang, but abandoned him when he gave little useful intel. That's what made him decide to defect over to Bangun.
* MoreDakka: His chosen weapon in the car chase is a machine pistol, which proves useful in peforating his opponents.
* UndyingLoyalty: He believes in Bangun, and [[spoiler:after the police abandoned him he swore loyalty to the crime lord]]. When [[spoiler:Uco kills him]] Eka is outraged at his betrayal.

* BeardOfSorrow: Yayan Ruhian grew out a large scraggly beard for this role. It's not a BeardOfEvil as all it serves to do is to show Prakoso as an unkempt homeless man, and further highlights his emotional scenes by showing how pitiful he looks. The beard also serves to cover up Ruhian's distinctive VillainousCheekbones.
* ConfusionFu: While quite refined in the technical side, his fighting style is crazy and erratic and uses some degree of improvisation.

* {{Foil}}: To Rama. Both are very competent fighters but Prakoso is an aging assassin while Rama is a cop, relatively new to the force. They were both forced to leave their families behind due to their respective occupations. They both also can take on numerous opponents at the same time, however Prakoso is eventually killed by Bejo's top assassin when he is too exhausted to fight after fighting against numerous men. Rama is able to fight numerous men and continue to fight and [[spoiler: kill]] Bejo's top three assassins: Baseball bat man, hammer girl, and the aforementioned assassin.

* ImprovisedWeaponUser: Capable of using anything that comes to hand as a weapon. As long as it's fairly solid or sharp, he can cause damage with it.

* PintSizedPowerhouse: Like Mad Dog before him, Prakoso stands at 5'2'' and is easily one of the most powerful fighters around. Though unlike Mad Dog, there's less down-facing camera shots and scenes with him next to taller characters, so it's not as emphasized as it was in the first film.

* UndyingLoyalty: To Bangun. Uco and Bejo don't even ''try'' to corrupt or turn him, because they know it would be futile.

* VillainousCheekbones: Averted. Yayan Ruhian's distinctive cheekbones are covered by his beard, which take the edge off the character and give him a less threatening visage.
* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: Uco betrays him to Bejo's assassins so he could provoke his father into declaring war with the Goto family.

* BadBoss: [[spoiler:Gave the order]] for some of the inmates to kill Uco he was in prison, if it weren't for Rama, they would have succeeded and offers up the men to be killed when they are released.
* BigBad: Of the second movie. His ambitions get the plot rolling. He was the one who initiates the gang war, turns Uco against his father, and it's his minions that make up the main threats to Rama.

* ConspicuousGloves: Much like his SinisterShades, Bejo always wears a pair of distinctive black gloves on his hands at all times, even when eating. In part [[spoiler:it's to help cover his gang tattoo]].
* EvilCripple: He walks with a very noticeable limp, necessiating the use of a cane and alongside that he's the sequel's BigBad with several events having been either orchestrated or caused by him.
* FauxAffablyEvil: Bejo likes to put on a gentlemanly air to better underscore his malice. At the start of the film he has a brief chat about loyalty to Andi all the while politely telling him to ignore the fact that his future executioner is loading a gun. He bargains with Uco in a calm and friendly tone as Uco slits the throats of the men Bejo offered up to him.
* {{Gorn}}: [[spoiler:Like many characters in the film, he doesn't exactly go out cleanly. He takes a shotgun blast to the shoulder and to his skull. Both leaving very grizzly wounds, with even the former getting a close-up while the third wound is seen from afar yet it's safe to say half of his head has been blasted to bits.]]
* NonActionBigBad: Like Tama in the first film, Bejo has no real combat ability to speak of, and his threat comes entirely from his underlings. Although unlike Tama, when the fighting comes to him he grabs a shotgun and starts blasting away.
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: After Rama makes it through his gang's men and enforcers, Bejo arms himself with a shotgun and was about to give one to Reza but [[spoiler:it was intercepted by Uco. Whom immediately blows Reza's brains out and shoots Bejo three times.]]

* BeardOfEvil: He's got a scruffy goatee, not as distinctive as most examples, but it does make him slightly more imposing especially when contrasted to Prakoso's BeardOfSorrow.

* ContrastingSequelAntagonist: With Mad Dog. Both serve as enforcers to their respective {{BigBad}}s [[DragonInChief and more dangerous to boot]], with a few key differences. Mad Dog is an adrenaline junkie who loves to fight and kill his opponents with his bare hands; the Assassin is a professional killer who isn't interested in fair play and primarily fights with Karambits. Mad Dog is short and stature, but extremely relentless; the Assassin is taller and goes for more precise attacks. While Mad Dog wouldn't resort to cheap tricks to win, the Assassin only ever humors a fair fight when he's confident he has the upper hand, but is quick to break out the Karambits once things stop going his way.

* DualWielding: Carries a pair of Karambits, claw-like curved knives which he uses to go for people's joints, even having a special sheath on his back to easily pull them out when needed.

* {{Foil}}: He and Rama have their obvious differences yet the two are also very similar in terms of appearance, clothing and fighting style. In fact when the two fight on even terms in the final act, it almost borders on a MirrorMatch. Especially when Rama gets one of the Assassin's knives, wherein the two look almost indistinguishable.
* NeverBringAKnifeToAFistFight: PlayedWith. He utterly slaughters the unarmed and injured [[spoiler:Prakoso]] in his first scene. However his fight with Rama plays with this. They're able to go at each other very well with their fists but in the end it's clear Rama has the upper hand. When he breaks out the Karambits the fight gets much more bloody and he wounds Rama considerably more than when he was without them, [[spoiler:and while Rama ends up winning, he had to take one of the karambits away from him first to kill him]].
* NoNameGiven: Is only known as the Assassin.
* NotSoInvincibleAfterAll: Until the finale, the Assassin curbstomps everyone he meets (even beating Rama when they first fought). Then, he goes up against a much more prepared Rama and is outclassed in the first two minutes. He has to break out his karambits to even the field.

* UseTheirOwnWeaponAgainstThem: His DualWielding of Karambits, ultimately become his undoing as the final fight between him and Rama, has the latter taking one of his knives and using it against him till he finally dies.

** He defeats and kills Prakroso, after the hitman has completely destroyed and killed countless mooks without breaking a sweat. But the Assassin engages him in a fight when Prakroso is severely injured and tired from all the fighting, and he was unarmed whereas the Assassin had his karambits.

* AbusiveParents: According to WordOfGod, the two had an abusive father whom caused [[spoiler:Hammer Girl's scarred eye]]. His abusive ways and the two killing him for it was stated to be the reason why they are now psychopathic criminals.
* BackToBackBadasses: A villainous example; the siblings employ this against Rama, for all the good it does them.
* BatterUp: The brother's weapon of choice and namesake are a metal baseball bat. One that he uses very effectively, while he mainly uses the obvious swings in a fight, he also incorporates baseballs for ranged attacks, jabs with the tip and even utilizes the grip to deliver blows.

* TheBrute: Both serve as this in Bejo's organization. While more skilled than most would be with their [[BatterUp weapons of choice]], they still boil down to caving in people's skulls, and are less skilled and precise than the Assassin.

* CruelAndUnusualDeath: Both the siblings face this when fighting Rama. [[spoiler:The sister gets her throat ripped out by her own claw hammers, and then the brother has his face caved in by his own metal baseball bat. Even when Rama lets go and the brother's body falls down ''the bat is still lodged to his face''.]]
* DarkActionGirl: A vicious fighter, the Hammer Girl utterly brutalizes her opponents and digs her hammer claws into them to either rip skin out or just stab the. The director was particularly impressed by Julie Estelle's commitment to her training and all the muscle she put on for this part.

* EyeScream: The main reason why Hammer Girl wears large shades is [[spoiler:to cover her scars and one blind eye]]. According to WordOfGod this was caused by their parents.
* HandicappedBadass: Hammer Girl is deaf and [[spoiler:blind in one eye]] but also one of Bejo's top fighters.
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: The duo are killed by Rama with their own weapons.

* NoNameGiven: She and her brother don't have a name and are primarily just known for the weapons.

* SiblingTeam: The duo are tight knit pair of siblings, while they can fight independently they are also capable of fighting together as shown when Rama encounters them.
* SinisterShades: Hammer girl wears a very large pair of sunglasses worn at all times. They help heighten her unemotive and stoic appearance as well as covering up [[spoiler:her disfigured eye]].
* SwordDrag: When approacinh some of the Yakuza, the brother drags his baseball bat against the concrete floor for intimidation factor before using it.

A {{Yakuza}} family that takes interest in the criminal activity in Indonesia.

* VillainRespect: When he and the Japanese gangsters finally make it to Bejo's hideout and see the work Rama has done, Keiichi is very impressed and his final line (which is silent) may have been offering Rama a job working for them, though Rama refuses.
* WinsByDoingAbsolutelyNothing: When the gang war erupts, Keiichi takes a number of gangsters to confront Bejo's gang, only to find that Rama's defeated all of them. With Bangun's gang similarly defeated, the Goto Family have won the Turf War without ever having to do anything. Keiichi for his part makes a point not to engage the one-man army that is Rama and may have offered him a job at the end.

* AFatherToHisMen: Jaka's incredibly protective of the men under his command. When Rama opens up an escape way under the floorboards, Jaka insists on going first to see if it's safe. Even after they've been outgunned and routed, he insists on finding Bowo and Rama before they leave.

* NoKillLikeOverKill: When struggling against a gangster, Jaka ends up slamming him against a table and unloading ''three'' point-blank shots into his head.

* DirtyCoward: When the shooting starts up he's near paralyzed with fear, though when the team is cornered, he's up and shooting with the rest. He runs from Mad Dog... [[KnowWhenToFoldThem which is understandable]], and when he, Dagu and Rama are thrown into unarmed combat, Wahyu does his best even if he isn't as skilled as the other two. [[spoiler:Killing Dagu and using Tama as a way out, however, cements him as this]].

* JerkWithAHeartOfJerk: [[spoiler:Underneath his hesitations and cracks in his rigid facade, Wahyu's a selfish asshole willing to murder his own men in a desperate bid to save his own skin]].
* KickTheSonOfABitch: [[spoiler:With the reveal of him being a DirtyCop, all of his takedowns of gangsters end up falling under this trope. Most notably his murder of Tama.]]

* FauxAffablyEvil: While Tama doesn't really have many scenes, he does come off as a mild-mannered man mocking those around him who he's about to sentence to death. Even when he's ordering the death of the Swat team, he reminds all of his underlings to have fun.

* AffablyEvil: He's one of the lieutenants of a ruthless crime lord, but is friendly and protective of brother, Rama.
* BecauseImGoodAtIt: This is why he became a gangster. He discovered that he was good at the trade and feels it fits him.

* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Despite his gang affiliation, both Rama and their father still love him, with Rama vowing to his father get him out of the building alive at beginning of the first movie and [[spoiler: his murder]] at the hands of Bejo being a driving force behind the plot of the second movie. His father is also grief-stricken when the latter is [[spoiler:at his funeral]]

* BewareTheQuietOnes: He doesn't say much, letting his fists speak for him. Thankfully, his fists speak [[CurbStompBattle A LOT]].

* TheBrute: When paired with Andi, Mad Dog shows more signs of this, as he is the more bloodthirsty of the two.
* CurbStompCushion: Both his fight scenes are this, with him having the upper hand each time. Rama and Andi only won because Andi got in a sneak attack.

* HeroesFightBarehanded: Inverted, because he's a villain.

* ImplacableMan: Mad Dog is anything if not utterly relentless. Kick him in the head, stomp on him, and he's back up again. [[spoiler:Having a piece of fluorescent light stabbed into his throat just makes him even more energetic, [[ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill and it takes breaking both of his arms and slitting his throat with said piece of light to finally kill him]]]].

* PintSizedPowerhouse: Like Mad Dog before him, Ruhian stands at 5' 4'' and is easily one of the most powerful fighters around. Though unlike Mad Dog, there's less down-facing camera shots and scenes with him next to taller characters, so it's not as emphasized as it was in the first film.

* NoNameGiven: Is only known as the Assasssin.

* DropTheHammer: After executing a few hostages with a revolver, he drops it when he finds a hammer while looking for some ammo. Choosing to execute the last hostage with it.

* TheBrute: Both serve as this in Bejo's organization. While more skilled than most would be with their [[BatterUp weapons]] [[DropTheHammer of choice]], they still boil down to caving in people's skulls, and are less skilled and precise than the Assassin.

* DropTheHammer: The sister is well-known for using a pair of claw hammers. Though she also utilizes the claws for even greater effect rather than solely relying on the blunt end.

* SuddenSequelDeathSyndrome: [[spoilers:is gunned down suddenly at the start of The Raid 2 under the orders of Lieutenant Bunawar.]]

* SuddenSequelDeathSyndrome: [[spoilers: is gunned down suddenly at the start of The Raid 2 under the orders of Lieutenant Bunawar.]]

* {{Patricide}}: [[spoiler: At the hands of Uco]].
* ParentsAsPeople: A crime boss he may be, but he very much loves his son and wants the best for him. He practically used Rama as a babysitter for Uco, when he has tantrum, telling Rama to buy him a beer or get him a woman.

* BloodKnight: The quintessential example.

* ArmorIsUseless: Though he ditches his body armor half-way through the first film, it actually does protect him during the fight with the Machete gang. One member lands a blow on him which cuts the armor, but Rama is unharmed.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: Rama is a kind and quiet man, who deeply cares for his comrades and family, but he also just so happens to be the best fighters in the series. [[OneManArmy Fighting against armies of mooks and fellow martial artists]], that are [[OneManArmy one men/women armies]] in their own right.
* BroomstickQuarterstaff: During a rainy day in the prison, he's resting and holding a broomstick. Naturally when a bunch of gang members are about to ambush him. He takes his time to slowly spin the pole out of the broom head and uses it to a decent effect against most of them before he loses it.

* CombatPragmatist: Rama is as resourceful as he is rather ruthless in a fight. If he isn't beating you to death with martial arts or using weapons. He's either throwing objects, breaking limbs, stabbing people with all sorts of sharp objects, slamming you against walls or any tough surface, headbutting you, or using your own knife to either kill you or your friends. One stand out moment is him using a local restaurant's grill to turn one of his opponents into a two-faced corpse

* {{Deconstruction}}: Of the ActionHero and InvincibleHero. Rama maybe a badass OneManArmy that can run through dozens of mooks, but he is still human that can be injured and fights because he ''has'' to, rather than for action sake. Not to mention, in almost every aftermath of his fights, he's left bruised, battered, and limping. This is best shown in the first movie during his fight with the machete gang, where Rama's first instinct was to ''run'' rather than bravely faced them head on. It is after that he's cornered that he manages to mustered up the courage to face them head on in order to stay alive. In short, Rama is not invulnerable and has very real chance of being killed despite all his skills.
* DualWielding: Seems to have a habit of engaging in this. He wields both a combat knife and a [[LawmanBaton nightstick]] in the first film. He also uses two weapons several times in the sequel, such as making use of two prison guard batons during the prison riot and breaks two bottles when he is ambushed and the fight leads to a local restaurant. After killing the Assassin, he takes his two karambits which becomes useful when [[spoiler:Uco tries to kill him]].

* BoomHeadshot: [[spoiler: His fate, courtesy of Uco after Bejo arms him with a shotgun he only has a few moments to have an OhCrap moment before Uco blasts him in the face..]]

* BadGuysDoTheDirtyWork: He saves Rama the trouble of killing [[BigBad Bejo]] by doing the deed himself, after finding out Bejo was behind the hit on him in prison and had been manipulating his ambitions the whole time.
* ChronicBackstabbingDisorder: Throughout the movie, he betrays [[spoiler:his father's loyal henchman Eka, his own father Bangun, his fellow conspirator Bejo and finally his last "friend" Rama.]] All in the name of ambition and revenge.
* DiedInYourArmsTonight: [[spoiler:After Rama stabs him, Uco hugs him for a bit before Rama twisted the karambit in his stomach while Uco sobs, giving him a pathetic death.]]

* ShotgunsAreJustBetter: In the finale of the film, Bejo arms him with a shotgun that he puts to good use. [[spoiler:Shooting Reza on the head, point blank. Before finally turning it on Bejo, getting a good hit on his leg, shoulder and then killing him off with a close blast to the head]].

* BoomHeadshot: How he meets his end. [[spoiler:Uco shoots him with a shotgun twice, once on the leg and the other mangling his shoulder, but makes sure he's dead by blowing his head open with a close shotgun blast]].

* EvilCripple: He walks with a very noticeable limp, necessiating the use of a cane and alongside that he's plenty evil.

* {{Gorn}}: [[spoiler:Gets a shotgun in the leg, shoulder andfinally the head. The second and third wounds are rather grizzly with even the former getting a decent close-up. The third wound is seen from a farther angle but it's safe to say that half of his skull doesn't exist anymore]].

* HoistByHisOwnPetard: Bejo arms himself with a shotgun and gives Uco one to kill [[spoiler: Reza. Then Uco uses said shotgun against him]].

* ContrastingSequelAntagonist: With Mad Dog. Both serve are enforcers to their respective {{BigBad}}s [[DragonInChief and more dangerous to boot]], with a few key differences. Mad Dog is an adrenaline junkie who loves to fight and kill his opponents with his bare hands; the Assassin is a professional killer who isn't interested in fair play and primarily fights with Karambits. Mad Dog is short and stature, but extremely relentless; the Assassin is taller and goes for more precise attacks. While Mad Dog wouldn't resort to cheap tricks to win, the Assassin only ever humors a fair fight when he's confident he has the upper hand, but is quick to break out the Karambits once things stop going his way.

* TheDragon: While he and Andi are set up as CoDragons at first, Mad Dog fills the role much better, being the most powerful underling under Tama and the one to fight the heroes. It helps that Andi defects in the middle of the film.

* BigBrotherInstinct: It's not made clear which is the eldest, but the brother takes charge between him and his sister when they fight Rama, and once Hammer Girl is killed, he flies into a RoaringRampageOfRevenge and almost overwhelms Rama.
* TheBrute: Both serve as this in Bejo's organization. While more skilled with their [[BatterUp weapons]] [[DropTheHammer of choice]] than most would be, they still boil down to caving in people's skulls and are less skilled and precise than the Assassin.
