History Characters / ViewtifulJoe

* RuleOfThree: Her Replay ability, which repeats an attack three times, complete with dramatic zooms each time. However, this ability can potentially [[HoistByHisOwnPetard backfire on her]]; if Silvia takes damage while Replay is active, ''she'll'' be on the receiving end of whatever attack/stage hazard hit her three times, [[ForMassiveDamage which can spell danger]] in many instances.

* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Frequently misspelled as Sylvia. Even ''[[VideoGame/MarvelVsCapcom3 Marvel vs. Capcom 3]]'' makes this mistake.

The titular hero of the Captain Blue movie that Joe and Silvia watch. After being defeated by the movie's villain, his spirit lives on to teach Joe the ways of becoming a super hero. But the truth is a bit more complicated. Blue is actually a once acclaimed film director whose movies were forgotten as a fad. As if to answer his desire to create heroes, he was [[TrappedInTVLand sucked into one of his own movies]] and given the chance to become a hero. But as time passed, [[TheDarkSideWillMakeYouForget he began to forget his wife and daughter as evil began to take root in his heart.]] Bitter from how the world forgot him as well as disillusioned with the fleeting nature of his heroism in Movieland, he turned into the villain of the movie. In the first game, his evil persona King Blue kidnaps Sylvia, [[LukeIAmYourFather his daughter]], as part of a plan to escape Movieland and enact his revenge. Joe does bring him to his senses and Blue returns to normal, only to be rendered inactive for the majority of the second game due to being turned into one of the seven Rainbow Oscars.

* AmbiguouslyBi: In his (non-canon) story mode of the first game, he dates Sylvia's twin sister, Goldie, and admits that he considers Sylvia beautiful in the second game. At the same time, he's not afraid to compliment Joe's "knock-out" looks.
* AnthropomorphicPersonification: Of [[VideoGame/DevilMayCry1 the sword]] itself. And ''boy'', is he ''[[ForgottenFriendNewFoe pissed]]'' at Dante for his sucky handling and leaving him during the events of ''VideoGame/DevilMayCry2''. [[note]]For those not privy to ''[[VideoGame/DevilMayCry DMC]]'' lore, ''[=DMC2=]'' [[CanonDiscontinuity had a very dubious standing in canon]] for years until ''VideoGame/DevilMayCry5'' nearly ''sixteen'' years later.[[/note]]

* FriendlyEnemy: He's very chummy with Joe and Sylvia when he's not trying to kill them, especially in the anime.

* GracefulLoser: Losing to Joe and Sylvia doesn't trouble him much, he even compliments the two for their skills. Of course, his cool only lasts until he hears the narrator say he's KilledOffForReal, but even then he sounds more upset about not having more screentime then him losing.

* RuleOfFunny: [[SecretCharacter His appearance]] can be chalked up to this. If you can read between the lines, it's almost as if Creator/HidekiKamiya (who helmed both [[VideoGame/DevilMayCry1 the original]] ''DMC'' and ''Viewtiful Joe'') took the time to insert several {{Take That}}s and {{Discontinuity Nod}}s to ''VideoGame/DevilMayCry2''.

* EvilCounterpart: To Joe.

* FriendlyEnemy: To Joe in the anime.

* HumongousMecha: Rex Majin.

* DarkChick: Yes, even though he's a guy.

%%* DarkChick

* DarkChick: She's the second-in-command to the BigBad.

* ContraltoOfDanger: Unsurprisingly, the BigBad has one of the deepest voices out of the female cast in ''Double Trouble!'', if not the deepest.

* ItsASmallWorldAfterAll: Backstory divulged in ''2'' and ''Double Trouble!'' shows that Joe and Silvia's families were more closely linked than one might have guessed. Blue not only was friends with and an extensive working partner of Jet (who showed Blue's films in his theater, even when Blue was a fledgling director), but he collaborated numerous times with renowned movie starlet Junko, Joe's mother. Joe and Silvia most likely [[ChildhoodFriendRomance have known each other since childhood, (In the Anime adaption, she mentions in the first episode that Joe has been collecting Captain Blue action figures since childhood)]] and it appears that Jet, after discovering the Black Film, may have even given custody of Joe to Blue (who was present for Jet's StartOfDarkness) for some time.

* BrotherSisterTeam: With Jasmine in ''Double Trouble''.

** [[spoiler:Junko]] reveals to Silvia in ''Double Trouble'' that Joe's been skirt-chasing behind her back on a few occasions. Silvia does not enjoy this fact one bit.

* PrecisionGuidedBoomerang: Well, ''Voomerang''. In ''Double Trouble'', this is replaced by the V.F.O. ([[FunWithAcronyms Viewtiful Flying Object]]), which instead [[RayGun fires lasers]].

* StartOfDarkness: Discovering the [[spoiler:Black Film and Black V-Watch]]. ''Double Trouble'' implies that [[spoiler:the tragic loss of his wife was also a nudge in the wrong direction]].

* BackFromTheDead: Only [[spoiler:for a day, though.]]
* HiddenPurposeTest: She returns from the dead and [[spoiler:becomes Queen Heinderella in ''Double Trouble'' to test Joe and Jasmine and see how strong they've become.]]

* BrotherSisterTeam: With Joe in ''Double Trouble''.

* HenshinHero: At the end of ''Double Trouble''.

* ModestyShorts: Under her skirt, of course.

* SiblingRivalry: Her interactions with Joe in ''Double Trouble'' hint at this, [[AwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachOther but she really does care for her big bro underneath all of the bickering]].
* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: Tomboy to Silvia's girly girl.

* BigBad: In ''Viewtiful Joe: Double Trouble''.

* TheCorrupter: Forces the heroes Joe encounters to make a temporary FaceHeelTurn by stealing their essences ("their hero-ness"). In reality, nothing was ever stolen. It was [[FakeDefector an act]] by the heroes to bring Junko's plan to fruition.

%%* {{Flight}}

* GoodAllAlong: Unlike Blue and Jet, Junko was not influenced by [[TheManBehindTheMan any unseen, outside forces]]. Her schemes with Madow as Queen Heinderella were of her own volition, as the entire plot of ''Double Trouble'' was one big HiddenPurposeTest for her son and daughter.

* LightIsNotGood: Her final form, in a case very similar to that of Dark Hero Jet Black (it must run in the family), but actually [[LightIsGood a subversion]] since she's GoodAllAlong.

* BossRemix: His theme as Another Joe is a techno remix of "Joe the Hero," Joe's theme (used in the first level of the game, and remixed again for the first level of ''[=VJ2=]''). His own theme also receives a rearrangement in both ''2'' and ''Double Trouble'', for justifiable reasons.

** The reason why he [[spoiler:[[TakingTheBullet takes the blow for Joe]] from Queen Heinderella after their fight]] in ''Double Trouble''.

* {{Stripperiffic}}: Despite the perpetual PantyShot (either that or UnderwearOfPower; Silvia's undergarments are clearly visible underneath her skirt assuming she's not just wearing a [[LeotardOfPower leotard]]), her default costume is actually modest. During boss battles, however, the getup turns into a [[BareYourMidriff midriff-baring]] bikini-and- hot pants combo.

* BareYourMidriff: Her normal clothing does not look like it would be up to school standards.

* BareYourMidriff: The aforementioned [[OfCorsetsSexy bustier]] also shows off her belly button in the process.

%%* OfCorsetsSexy

* DumbMuscle: The most scatterbrained of the group. Has a RunningGag of forgetting word, and occasionally forgetting what he was talking about.

%%* EverythingsBetterWithDinosaurs: Averted.

* AnAxeToGrind: It's as big as he is. Joe can [[BreakableWeapons break it]] if he attacks it enough once Hulk uses it to defend himself, after which Hulk will eventually produce a replacement axe.

* ShesGotLegs: And she shows them off with tights and boots under a flared miniskirt.

* CanonImmigrant: Sort of: He was introduced in the anime and ported into the games through ''Red Hot Rumble.'' However, ''RRH'' seems to be an adaptation of the anime rather than part of the actual existing video game series.

* TheCorrupter: Forces the heroes Joe encounters to make a temporary FaceHeelTurn by stealing their essences ("their hero-ness"). In reality, nothing was ever stolen. It was [[FakeFactor an act]] by the heroes to bring Junko's plan to fruition.

* EverythingsBetterWithSpinning: His torso attack.

* WhatAnIdiot: In-universe. Joe even says so after he [[JustBetweenYouAndMe tells him Jadow's entire plan]] while stammering and stuttering, thinking about how to threaten Joe.

* AbsoluteCleavage: Like in ''DMC'', has a "broken heart" bustier.

* AbsoluteCleavage: Zips up her jacket to cover her ample assets as a {{Character Tic|s}}. But it ends up back down again as soon as the camera cuts away.

* NerdsAreSexy: Oh yes they are!
* [[OnlySaneMan Only Sane Woman]]

* CryCute: Upon being reunited with [[spoiler:her mother]].

* SimpleStaff: With her shakujo.

* NiceHat: As regular Joe.

* NiceHat: As Vanilla.

A compilation of the characters from the ''VideoGame/ViewtifulJoe series''. '''[[ByThePowerOfGreyskull HENSHIN]][[CatchPhrase -A-GO-GO, BABY!]]'''

* CombinationAttack: [[SwitchOutMove Viewtiful Touch]] in ''2''. The second stage move creates [[HeartSymbol a giant heart]] [[ThePowerOfLove that damages all enemies on-screen]]. The third and final stage is [[WaveMotionGun Six Cannon]].
* [[CoolBigSis Cool Big Bro]]: One to Jasmine, and a surrogate one to Captain Blue Jr.

* CoolPlane: Six Machine in its default mode. It can also [[TransformingMecha assume the form of]] [[CoolCar a car]], [[ThisIsADrill subterrine drill]], [[CoolBoat submarine]], and [[{{BFG}} bazooka]].

* BigGood: [[BigBad Until the end of the first game.]] [[HeelFaceTurn Returns to the role]] once he's cleansed of the evil in his heart, though [[LivingMacGuffin he's turned into one of the seven Rainbow Oscars]] shortly after.

* AgonyOfTheFeet: [[AchillesHeel His toe]] [[WeaksauceWeakness is his weakness]] in the anime.

* BaddieFlattery: Heck, he's the one who [[AppropriatedAppellation bestows the title of]] [[PerfectlyCromulentWord "Viewtiful"]] [[AppropriatedAppellation upon Joe]]. Sort of. He actually remarks Joe's style as "Beautiful!" but Joe either [[MondegreenGag mishears it]] or just [[MundaneMadeAwesome changed the lettering so that it would make a better heroic name]].

* DarkIsNotEvil: Mostly played straight, [[spoiler:[[DarkIsEvil Averted]] with his [[BrainwashedAndCrazy Underworld]] [[TheDarkSide Emperor]] [[SuperpoweredEvilSide form]]]].

* {{Stripperiffic}}: [[UnderwearOfPower A black speedo]] [[WalkingShirtlessScene as his non-Henshin mode]]. Dante muses that his contact Enzo must've [[CostumeCopycat stolen his clothes again]] as a rib on [[TheStoic Dante's characterization]] in ''[=DMC2=]''.

* [[TheFourLoves I Just Want To Be Loved]]: [[spoiler:Tsukumo's main motivation. Due to jealousy/scorn at how props are overlooked, Tsukumo goes on a rampage and begins sabotaging the set of Blue's latest movie. After defeating him, Joe explains that props indeed play an important part in movies; without them, the movie itself wouldn't be possible. With news of this, Tsukumo leaves happily and [[EarnYourHappyEnding is even made the star of Blue's film]], much to everyone's surprise.]]
* MeaningfulName: Tsukumo translates to "ninety-nine", alluding to [[spoiler:how Tsukumo himself is [[ManySpiritsInsideOfOne an innumerable amount of souls]] [[MindHive working together towards a singular purpose]].]]
