Bubblegum Crisis/Characters


Note that the tropes listed here are based on the characters' depictions in the OVA series, not Bubblegum Crisis Tokyo 2040.

The Knight Sabers

Priscilla S. Asagiri (or Priss for short)

Played by: Kinuko Oomori (Japanese, Bubblegum Crisis), Ryoko Tachikawa (Japanese, Bubblegum Crash), Sinda Nichols (English), Catherine Desplaces (French), Joel Mulachs (Spanish, Bubblegum Crisis), Maria Rosa Guillén (Spanish, Bubblegum Crash), Barbara De Bortoli (Italian)

Sylia Stingray

Played by: Yoshiko Sakakibara (Japanese), Jemila Ericson (English), Isabelle Volpe (French), Mercedes Domingo (Spanish, Bubblegum Crisis), Sofia Garcia (Spanish, Bubblegum Crash), Antonella Baldini (Italian)

Linna Yamazaki

Played by: Michie Tomizawa (Japanese), Elizabeth Becka (English), Christèle Billault (French), Mercedes Diemand-Hartz (Spanish, Bubblegum Crisis), Carmen Calvell (Spanish, Bubblegum Crash), Ilaria Latini (Italian)

  • The Big Guy: Quite skilled in close combat.
  • Ms. Vice Guy: Linna was the member most vocally concerned about how much money the Sabers made off of each mission, would cheerfully dump a boyfriend with low earning potential, and leveled up into a yuppie stockbroker in Crash. Still, she would happily ignore money for more important things -- for instance, being happy that the Kill Sat controller was apparently destroyed in the second episode, even though that meant no pay for the mission, because it was payback for Genom killing Irene.
  • Plucky Girl
  • Razor Floss: Uses razor-sharp ribbons from her suit's helmet to cut through her enemies.
  • Spell My Name with an "S": though "L" is pronounced "R" in Japan, the anime had her English-letter name beginning with "L".

Nene Romanova

Played by: Akiko Hiramatsu (Japanese), Susan Grillo (English), Laëtitia Godes (French), Victoria Ramos (Spanish, Bubblegum Crisis), Ariadna Jiménez (Spanish, Bubblegum Crash), Federica De Bortoli (Italian)

The Genom Corporation

Quincy

Played by: Kiyoshi Kawakubo (Japanese), David Arnold (English), Bruno Magne (French), Alberto Trifol (Spanish)

Brian J. Mason

Played by: Shuichi Ikeda (Japanese), Eric Paisley (English), Emmanuel Rausenberger (French), Xavier Fernández (Spanish)

Largo

Played by: Kazuyuki Sogabe (Japanese), Pierre Brulator (English), Carlos Lladó (Spanish, Bubblegum Crash)

Kate Madigan

Played by: Urara Takano (Japanese), Emily Young (English)

Others

Leon McNichol

Played by: Toshio Furukawa (Japanese), Brad Moranz (English), Bruno Meyere (French), Oriol Rafel (Spanish, Bubblegum Crisis), Tasio Alonso (Spanish, Bubblegum Crash), Luciano Marchitiello (Italian)

Daley Wong

Played by: Kenyuu Horiuchi (Japanese), Marshall Carroll (English), Jordi Naro (Spanish, Bubblegum Crash), Jérémy Zylberberg (French), Roberto Del Giudice (Italian)

Mackie Stingray

Played by: Kenyuu Horiuchi (Japanese), Frank Trimble (English), Arnaud Laurent (French), Jordi Pons (Spanish, Bubblegum Crisis), Carlos Lladó (Spanish, Bubblegum Crash)

  • Cool Loser
  • Geek
  • Handsome Lech: Slightly subverted since he isn't as nice about it as other people on the list. He peeks at his own sister for goodness sake. Nevertheless he does fit this trope more as it hints he might have genuine feelings for Nene.
  • Real Men Wear Pink: If the Knight Sabers were a Five-Man Band, then the only GUY in the group would be The Chick.
  • Teen Genius

Reika Chang

(Vision) Played by: Maiko Hashimoto (Japanese), Mindi L. Lyons (English), Pascale Chemin (French), Beatrice Margiotti (Italian)

Lisa Vanette

Played by: Aya Hisakawa (Japanese), Amy Parrish (English), Pascale Chemin (French)

  • Action Girl: Played with - she's willing to go out on a ledge to get the perfect shot, but she gets upset when accidentally routed to a quick confrontation with a combat boomer.
  • Intrepid Photojournalist: although Nene thinks she's one of the Paparazzi. OAV 8 ends up with Lisa becoming Nene's Secret Keeper.
