| 5 | [[folder:Argos Test Flight]] |
| 6 | |
| 7 | A MultinationalTeam of test pilots assigned to the XFJ project, a joint US-Japan program to improve the performance of the Type-94 Shiranui. Ironically, only Yuuya has an actual test-pilot background; the other three pilots are combat veterans, and none of them are Japanese. The flight itself is commanded by First Lieutenant Ibrahim Dogulu of the UN Army, while XFJ plan's project manager is First Lieutenant Yui Takamura of the Japanese Imperial Royal Guard. |

| 9 | !!Second Lieutenant Yuuya Bridges |
| 10 | ->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/DaisukeOno (Japanese), Creator/CoreyHartzog (English) |
| 11 | [[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/yuuyabridges.jpg]] |
| 12 | A talented [[UsefulNotes/YanksWithTanks US Army]] test pilot sent to the Yukon Base in Alaska to become the chief development [[AMechByAnyOtherName TSF]] pilot of the XFJ Plan. Half-Japanese, half-white, he holds anti-Japanese sentiments born from his childhood experiences. |
| 13 | ---- |
| 14 | * AcePilot: He's a very talented pilot, and has a knack for understanding the [[AMechByAnyOtherName TSFs]] he flies, but prior to the story he has no real combat experience with the BETA. Of course, that all changes in episode 9. |
| 15 | * BattleHarem: Much like Takeru Shirogane in the main series, he's a ChickMagnet for female TSF pilots. |
| 16 | * BelligerentSexualTension: With Yui. |
| 17 | * CharacterDevelopment: Grows from being whiny, bratty & selfish test pilot into a mature & downright dangerous Eishi. |
| 18 | * CluelessChickMagnet: Yuuya has a talent for attracting girls. [[TheOjou Yui]], [[AnimeChineseGirl Yifei]], [[SugarAndIcePersonality Cryska]] and [[TokenMiniMoe Inia]] are definitely attracted, while [[BrattyHalfpint Tarisa]] is hinted to be interested, [[FriendlySniper Stella]] admits to be interested, and [[IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy Sharon]] appears to still have feelings for him. He somehow remains unaware. |
| 19 | * DeepSouth: Where he grew up. [[HalfBreedDiscrimination It explains a few things]]. |
| 20 | * {{Determinator}}: Seen when the BETA invade Kamchatka base, his Shiranui Second is heavily damaged by the BETA. Although every single thing that could go wrong goes wrong, Yuuya keeps on fighting. [[spoiler:Its one of the characteristics that Yui admires about him.]] |
| 21 | * {{Expy}}: Of [[Film/TopGun Maverick]] and [[Anime/MacrossPlus Isamu Dyson]], down to being called ''Top Gun'' (he did a tour at the actual TOPGUN, which is now a joint forces school) and later test-piloting an AceCustom prototype. [[spoiler: His own Goose shows up too.]] |
| 22 | * FreudianExcuse: See ParentalAbandonment below. Learning that his mother never blamed his father for leaving, he swore to surpass him. And growing up being picked upon due to his half-Japanese parentage did not help. |
| 23 | * HalfBreedDiscrimination: Suffered this as a kid. Growing up in the DeepSouth didn't help matters. |
| 24 | * InSeriesNickname: "Top Gun," however it doesn't stick for too long. |
| 25 | * JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He's a jerk who initially despises all things Japanese, and has a major chip on his shoulder. But Yuuya is also a decent guy who does try to do the right thing. |
| 26 | * LightningBruiser: The Shiranui Second; the main TSF being developed by the XFJ Project. Fast & capable in all-range combat with guns and blades, with specialisation in CQB. Yuuya is it's main test pilot. |
| 27 | * LongLostRelative: [[spoiler:Yuuya Bridges, Yui Takamura is your younger half-sister. Not that he learns, though.]] |
| 28 | * MultiMeleeMaster: The Shiranui Second carries a Type-74 PB Blade, a sword like weapon, and a pair of combat knives. Yuuya has adequate skills to make use of both of these melee weapons. |
| 29 | * TheNicknamer: Even on his first day as part of Project PROMINENCE. Vincent remarks that this seems to be a habit with him. |
| 30 | * NewMeat: Started out a bit clueless about how things go down in the real world, since he had no combat experience at all. |
| 31 | * ObliviousToLove: Even if he isn't as dense as other characters with this label, he's a bit slow in picking up on how he affects the female Eishi around him. |
| 32 | * ParentalAbandonment: His father left their family and went back to Japan, and later his mother died of an illness. [[spoiler:His father was revealed to be Masatada Takamura, a high-ranking Imperial Royal Guard and specialist in R&D, the designer of the Type-82 Zuikaku, who was forced to come back to Japan without knowing Mira Bridges, Yuuya's mother, was pregnant; that is, he's Yui's elder half-brother. It's eventually revealed that he was killed by the G-bomb detonation during the Yokohama Hive operation. The pregnant Mira, fearing she and their child will be used as political leverage against Masatada, chose to leave the latter and go into hiding on her own will.]] |
| 33 | * [[ReassignedToAntarctica Reassigned To Yukon]]: Comes with being an {{Expy}}. While Project PROMINENCE isn't a crap posting, it's also being done as punishment, because nobody else at Area 51 will ever fly with him again. [[spoiler:Subverted; the Boening head engineer assigned to the XFJ Project, who worked with his mother in the past, specifically asked for him, with a promotion waiting for him at project completion.]] |
| 34 | * TookALevelInBadass: He started the Kamchatka arc as a skilled but self-centered pilot who had zero combat time. By the time the arc is over, he's not only matured on the personal level, but he acquits himself well when fighting BETA for real in close quarters, earning a modicum of respect from the rightly resentful members of the battle-hardened Zhar Battalion. |
| 35 | * {{Tsundere}}: Towards Yui. |
| 36 | * UsedToBeASweetKid: Very much so. It's especially apparent in the flashbacks with his mother. |
| 37 | |
| 38 | !!Second Lieutenant Tarisa Manandal |

| 41 | Nepalese Eishi participating in the XFJ Plan as a [[AMechByAnyOtherName TSF]] pilot. Her ethnic background as a [[UsefulNotes/NepaliWithNastyKnives Gurkha]] is well known for its bravery and fighting spirit.

| 50 | * InSeriesNickname: "Chobi", given by Yuuya. |
| 51 | * KukrisAreKool: She's briefly shown using a kukri [[MundaneUtility to cut vegetables]], which actually makes a lot of sense: while famed as a weapon, the kukri is more commonly used as a multipurpose tool. |

| 61 | * DarkAndTroubledPast: VG's family and friends were killed by the BETA, and his last surviving relative is a TSF pilot who's often sent on dangerous missions. |
| 62 | * HandsomeLech: VG really likes the ladies. [[spoiler: This does him no favors in the VN, where the Defense Intelligence Agency officers investigating the Red Shift Incident suspect him of being an RLF sympathiser, since he was sleeping with Natalie, though they eventually clear him.]] It also backfires on him more funnily in the HotSpringsEpisode when he starts flirting with the BridgeBunnies over the radio and the girls trap him into throwing them a party later. |
| 63 | * InSeriesNickname: "Macaroni", given by Yuuya. |
| 64 | * ShipperOnDeck: Often ships Yui and Yuuya. |
