Plot happens.


* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: [[spoiler: Her HeelRealization at the end of the first season prompted her to cancel the military contract she started Megalomania to ensure the sealing of. Needless to say, this was a massive loss and the company had to make a contract with ROSCO to stay afloat. And when Yuriko tries to back out of their deal with ROSCO upon learning that Sakuma is intending it for military use as well, one of her board members reminds her of her previous mistake and that doing the same here wouldn't end well for them, a point she's forced to concede. She only blows up their partnership after deciding [[ScrewTheMoneyIHaveRules that's a sacrifice she's willing to make]].]]

* SuperiorSuccessor: He has surpassed Yuri's unbeaten record, leading to the media to dub him Yuri's (his mentor) superior. Liu and Yuri himself themselves dodge the question if he's better or not than Yuri was in his prime.

Trope was renamed, so no need to dewick.

Added DiffLines:

* AngryBlackManStereotype: While whether or not he is black isn't clear, he's at least coded black -- he sports a large, almost afro-like hairstyle, has darker skin than most of the characters and is from a crime-infested ghetto fond of rap. He also hates authority and the Shirato corporation, ''especially'' Yukiko when he thinks she's taking pity on him. He grows out of it eventually, with his disdain for the Shirato corporation and Yukiko being dropped after a few episodes.

* MouthyKid: Just like Nanbu, Sachio is also especially foul-mouthed in the Latin American Spanish dub, which is especially unusual there.[[note]]In both Mexico (the country when the dub was made) and other Latin American Spanish countries, it's normally discouraged making a kid character below 12 years old to swear like a sailor [[UnacceptableTargets for obvious reasons]]. In this particular case, the people behind the dub very likely make him swear hard as a way to show [[CrapsackWorld the kind of background Sachio has forced to grow up in and endure]]. Considering modern Mexican media doesn't shy away from showing adult characters swearing, but kids are normally off-limits on this, this is a quite notorious change.[[/note]]

there are very few concrete parallels between the character and the IRL person, aside from broad stroke coincidences that the previous writer noticed. The work being done by the character in question, their demeanor, and their traits also fail to directly evoke the celebrity in question. While he does fit the broad profile of a billionaire tech bro, he likely isn't meant to be a reference to Musk in particular.


* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: A (relatively) young, highly eccentric and wealthy tech entrepeneur with a possibly revolutionary but also ethically dubious brain chip technology. Nationality aside, this essentially makes him Elon Musk.
