* PowerStable: A not-insignificant part of the power of Bullet Club.

After several years as two of BC's most prominent players, they were transitioned out of the group into a babyface role to build a feud with Jay White. During this, Tama became a 1-time NEVER Openweight Champion, the first singles title run in his career.

** Can frequently be seen alongside another BC members. Most of the time it'll be their cousin Bad Luck Fale or their tall younger brother Hikuleo, though sometimes post-Elite recruits such as Jay White and Taiji Ishimori can get this treatment as well.

* SirSwearsALot: Much like Anderson and Gallows before them, G.o.D are capable of speech without swearing but enjoy cutting loose on a non-English-TV product to the point that a SwearJar would probably kill their paychecks.

* UndyingLoyalty: To each other, their family, and Bullet Club itself. This causes them to act as a primary force powering Bullet Club in NJPW's midcard. This does ''[[SubvertedTrope not]]'' make them beneath calling a fight with their leader if they thinks said leader is damaging The Club. Just ask Kenny.

* WrestlingFamily: Sons of King Haku, cousins of Bad Luck Fale, big brothers to Hikuleo. And now this family has established itself as the most powerful clan in NJPW by heading up the "Firing Squad" crusade which successfully took back the direction of Bullet Club from The Elite. The Fifitas are also one of the interconnected island families inducted by the Samoan Anoa'i clan as part of their dynasty, making Tama Tonga's social media rivalry with Wrestling/RomanReigns even funnier.

** The test was then extended to anyone who tried to stop their attack. Of those, only Chase and Yujiro passed the test of Bullet Club loyalty, never dropping their Bullet Club attire, Yujiro's dancers, or any of their heel mannerisms the entire time they were associated with The Elite. This made it easy for Bullet Club to take them back on January 6, 2019.

* ForeignWrestlingHeel: Aside from it being Bullet Club's stock and trade, Tonga does not host a major promotion, so they come off as this in a sense whether in Japan or America.

** They later were forced into a genuine face turn in 2022 after Jay White kicked them out of Bullet Club for intimating that their roles as the kingmakers that seated him at the front in place of Kenny Omega might be repeated at his expense because he wasn't there for the group in Japan. This time the turn is played much more logically. Both are still undeniably tough and gritty; Tama has adjusted to partnering with the likes of Tanahashi and Taguchi much easier than T due to having been a young lion in the NJPW system in the past; yet they both readily acknowledge the moral turpitude of their former comrades as something to be opposed, marking remarks on things such as how BC, Fale included, no longer followed any sort of code, or how Yujiro's worth was fully defined by being a champion with House of Torture since otherwise he'd just be a lowly pimp who doesn't even have a girl anymore.

* HeelFaceTurn: Parodied. On a whim of a New Year's Resolution for 2019, "Bad Boy" Tama Tonga decided to become "Good Guy" Tama Tonga, to the confusion and annoyance of his teammates, and amusement of the crowd. He would not only refuse to allow cheating, he'd be unwilling to do even morally neutral tag maneuvers. His Twitter presence also got weirdly saccharine. He was eventually snapped out of this GoodIsDumb phase, and became "The Good Bad Guy", choosing to be more effective in "DoWrongRight".

* EvilVersusEvil: Their feud with EVIL and SANADA, from another heel New Japan stable, ''Wrestling/LosIngobernablesDeJapon''. While this feud outlived the trope due to LIJ turning face (only dying out when EVIL betrayed LIJ to ''join'' Bullet Club), they later feuded with Dangerous Tekkers (Taichi and Wrestling/ZackSabreJr), representing the other long-running heel stable in NJPW, Wrestling/{{Suzuki-gun}}.

* YouHaveFailedMe: Their rationale for kicking out the Elite. Letting Kenny and Cody settle their differences in the ring was a test, that ''both'' failed. They state that a Bullet Club "Leader" does not ask, they take, and they must be acknowledged by the entire Club.[[labelnote:*]]Devitt, Anderson, Styles, and later White all directly gunned after both Wrestling/KazuchikaOkada and the IWGP Heavyweight Championship without ever feeling the need to declare their leadership in a promo; subsequently they were unanimously backed by the entire Bullet Club.[[/labelnote]] By not only failing to be upfront in their plots against each other (Cody) and playing a clean Face (Kenny), both of them had betrayed Bullet Club ideals.

* AnimalMotifs: Gorillas, due to it being a homophone of "guerrilla". T's finisher in New Japan is known as "Apeshit", both he and Tama have occasionally displayed some ape-like mannerisms, and their custom Bullet Club logo features a gorilla skull.

After several years as one of BC's undercard members, Tama saw an opportunity: around the same time his adopted brother, who's more than capable of getting work done, was cleared from TNA, Anderson and [[Wrestling/DrewHankinson Doc Gallows]] were about to leave NJPW for WWE, leaving Bullet Club without a heavyweight tag team. Tama brought in his brother, who took on the name of Tanga Loa, recreating their tandem as the Guerrillas of Destiny, playing on the [[ThemeNaming "god" theme of their ring names]]. Since teaming together, they have become 6-time IWGP Heavyweight Tag Team Champions, 1-time Wrestling/RingOfHonor World Tag Team Champions, 1-time [=WrestleCircus=] Big Top Tag Team Champions, 3-time NEVER Openweight 6-Man Tag Team Champions (twice with Wrestling/BadLuckFale, once with Taiji Ishimori), and increasing cornerstones of Bullet Club as a faction to the point that they were the catalysts of the mutiny and civil war that transitioned BC from the Golden Elite Era to the Cutthroat Era.

** BigBadWannabe: Ironically, before joining with Jay White, Tama and Fale looked like they were pretenders to the throne due to constantly getting disqualified in G1 28, seemingly failing to grasp the point of original Bullet Club which was to cheat ''to win''. {{Foreshadowing}} their true role, however, the Tongans were far more successful in the tag team preview matches on the G1 tour than in the actual G1 matches, with G.o.D in particular going undefeated. Even more distinctly, their interference in White vs. Fale saw Fale successfully win despite White's best attempts at cheating to fight them off, showing that they can cheat to win but simply didn't care enough to do so… until it was time for Tama to beat Wrestling/KotaIbushi and force him and Kenny to go all-out in their B-block match against each other for a small chance at surviving the block.

* EvilSlinks: Tama has uncannily smooth motions and the gimmick of this duo explicitly emphasizes guerrilla tactics. This comes as no surprise.

--> '''Tama:''' "You wanna be the leader, of the Bullet Club? Huh? '''Then you gotta represent the Bullet Club!''' Who the FUCK is [[Wrestling/TheYoungBucks The Elite]], huh!? Huh!? Or the [[Wrestling/AdamCole Dream Team]]!? Huh, the [[CriticalResearchFailure Superkliq]]!?[[labelnote:*]]Superkliq is Adam Cole and the Young Bucks' trio, it has nothing to do with Omega. Furthermore, Cole was already kicked out by the time this rant took place.[[/labelnote]] Huh? You wanna be in Bullet Club, '''then you BE one of us!'''"

* WrestlingFamily: Sons of King Haku, cousins of Bad Luck Fale, big brothers to Hikuleo. And now this family has established itself as the most powerful clan in NJPW by heading up the "Firing Squad" crusade which successfully took back the direction of Bullet Club from The Elite. The Fifitas are also one of the interconnected island families inducted by the Samoan Anoa'i clan as part of their dynasty, making Tama Tonga's social media rivalry with Wrestling/RomanReigns even funnier.

* FinishingMove: Three. Guerrilla Warfare, a double-arm DDT by Tama with Loa elevating the opponent by the legs. They also have Killshot, their version of the Dudley Death Drop, as well as the Magic Killer.

** Alipate Leone, Pate Fifita, Tama Tonga, King Tonga Jr., Tonga Strong Machine, Kava.
** Tevita Fifita, (Agent) T, Tanga Loa, Mica, Camacho, Donny Marlow, Nuku.

* OneLetterName: Haku's biological son is often simply called T. This actually comes from his real name of Tevita, though it fits with Tanga Loa.

Since teaming together, they have become 5-time (and current) IWGP Heavyweight Tag Team Champions, 1-time Wrestling/RingOfHonor World Tag Team Champions, 1-time [=WrestleCircus=] Big Top Tag Team Champions, 3-time NEVER Openweight 6-Man Tag Team Champions (twice with Wrestling/BadLuckFale, once with Taiji Ishimori), and increasing cornerstones of Bullet Club as a faction to the point that they were the catalysts of the mutiny and civil war that transitioned BC from the Golden Elite Era to the Cutthroat Era.

* VerbalTic
--> '''Tama:''' Huh?

The Guerrillas of Destiny (or [[FunWithAcronyms G.o.D]]) are a {{professional wrestling}} {{tag team}} consisting of adoptive brothers[[labelnote:*]]and biological cousins[[/labelnote]] Alipate Aloisio "Pate" Leone (born on October 15, 1982) and Tevita Tu'amoeloa Fetaiakimoeata "T" Fifita (born on May 7, 1983), currently performing for Wrestling/NewJapanProWrestling (and occasionally Wrestling/RingOfHonor) under the ring names Tama Tonga and Tanga Loa. Alipate, along with his little brother Taula, were both adopted by their uncle and Tevita's father, the infamous [[Wrestling/{{Meng}} Tonga Fifita]], otherwise known as Meng or King Haku. While Haku tried to dissuade his boys from getting into wrestling, causing both Pate and T to take on military paths, the two brothers gravitated to the business anyway, receiving training from their father in addition to none other than Wrestling/TheDudleyBoys at the Team 3D Wrestling Academy before making their debut as a team under the name "Sons of Tonga", with Pate as Kava and Tevita as Nuku.

** Their main rivals in ROH have been another hard-nosed SiblingTeam, The Briscoe Brothers, who are also associated with Bullet Club's main enemies in CHAOS.

* TheBrute: Both, but especially Loa. In fact Loa was this to Hunico at one point in WWE under the moniker Camacho.
