Calia does this to her mother once her long-lost mother returns to invade the planet, and Calia finds out that she's just a pawn in her mother's scheme.

She can take a cannon shell to the face and suffer only Clothing Damage.

What GunBuster would be in almost any other kind of story... But given the kind of horrors it was designed to combat, it's merely Purposely Overpowered.

Calia goes through this whenever she's angry, because she hides her emotions often.

Calia's able to control solids as well as ice. It's kind of a required power since solids are created by removal of heat.

Back when she was alive, she wielded the Hamaxe in one hand and Surt's shining sword in the other.

[up][up]His favored swords, Kanshou and Bakuya, tend to be wielded both at once, and get powers when he does so.

[up]Said swords have a yin-yang motif.

The Male, together with the Female, even though they both get killed for their efforts, almost cause Godzilla to have one out of sheer exhaustion from fighting them.

Calia and her army friend Amber make a great fighting duo, using their powers over the chemical elements to create combination attacks. Calia and her bodyguard AC also made a great combination, with Calia creating conductive solids and AC providing the electricity to shock the foes.

[up][up]She and Aqua can often be seen fighting in the Arena together (though more often I'll put one of my other avatars against Aqua)

[up]I intend for this to happen to her, should certain circumstances arise.

While GunBuster itself isn't one, its successors, the Buster Machines seen in DieBuster definitely are.

Quite a number of people, especially those with dissent towards Gifted, still love to push Calia around and even attempt to kidnap her. Even when they know that she's a powerful Gifted and President Rayfer's child. It usually doesn't end well for most would-be kidnappers.

Given what he's responsible for, it may well be that he views the ends as a noble thing, and is villainous because he's aware he's going to do it anyway. So, that Assimilation Plot thing he causes is for the good of everybody.

Note that this happens after the events of her main story

Calia is a global/interplanetary army officer who's somewhat racist against Metas due to her first impressions of them, but reluctantly allies with an opposing group of Metas while preventing her prejudice from getting in the way of their operations. She soon sheds this prejudice later on.

When the military tries to transport the last remaining nuke through San Francisco by boat during a very cloudy day, an EMP shuts down their boats and singlehandedly destroys their air support, signifying the Male MUTO is very near. Since it's hiding in the clouds and making no sound, there are a few suspenseful moments of waiting for it to show itself and attack, and when it does, it completely wipes out the remaining boats and steals the nuke over the course of a few seconds.
