** [[AxCrazy Gates]] is a more disturbing example. Most of the things he says don't really make sense, and the people who employ him have a hard time understanding what in the world he's talking about. In fact, the last thing he does when Sousuke obliterates his AS (and kills him) is to play with his hair and say, "Maybe I cut it too short?"
** That was a call-back to a comment several episodes earlier--when his AS shrugs off an attack by the enemy he declares, mockingly "That might have hurt me, if my sideburns had been shorter!" But Gates really is disturbed -- he watches a nature film on squirrels while naked for recreation in one episode. It started out with footage of kittens, and while he was on the phone with one of his subordinates he was furiously tearing tissues out of a tissue box.
** Sousuke qualifies too. His thought processes are unique even among his fellow mercenaries. He's paranoid to the point of absurdity, and frequently misinterprets things other people say to be threats. He can't see anything wrong with [[HeroicComedicSociopath threatening random civilians with guns, blowing up a row of shoe lockers, and the list goes on and on]]. And the conclusions he draws are... sometimes rather outlandish.

** Mao references this. When Kaname commented that she thought ''everyone'' in Mithril had the same personality and attitude as Sousuke, Mao replied: "Ha ha ha... that kid's... a little special." And other times, she and Kurz reference how Sousuke isn't quite all there. Though Sousuke is one of the few, if not only Mithril member who was a ChildSoldier. Sousuke's been fighting in wars since he was eight (and before that, he was being trained as an assassin by the KGB), whereas most of his [[TrueCompanions fellow mercenaries]] started out when they were already responsible adults; with that kind of upbringing, he probably simply doesn't know how to respond to anything without breaking out some serious weaponry. Makes it a lot less funny when you realize his behavior stems from the fact that he simply can't believe that there are places on Earth where people are not always trying to kill each other. And we have the StudentCouncilPresident who deems Sousuke's actions... appropriate. No wonder they share mutual respect.
