Captain Ersatz: Probably unintentional, but hello there, Kamina.BFS: Technically, Big Freakin' Tobacco Pipe.Emon is (was?) a second year student in Anoa's class. While he himself is inspired by Ganbare Goemon, his Xel Viper is drawn from Thunder Cross. Hailing from another dimension, and the planet Ebisuboshi, Emon Five is the only male in the entire cast. Wrench Wench: Built her own Ride Viper completely from scratch, before she even saw any of the others.Transfer Student Uniforms: Madoka doesn't wear a standard "G" uniform or a standard St.Third-Person Person: Though the subs just translate it as her using "I", unlike with Tita.If this is the same Madoka, than Tita's line "I won't miss you, cookie!" while Madoka was departing must've referred to this. Lethal Chef: The Madoka of Twinbee fame is horrible at baking cookies.Identical Grandson: Another theory is that she's the identical descendant of the original Madoka.Genki Girl: She even charges up her Platonic Break with a mischievous giggle.In Excellent, she summons a Shooting Star enemy who swoops through, unleashing a variety of attacks along the way.Enemy Summoner: The rare heroic version, Madoka's Platonic Break summons a duplicate of Gainbee who punches the crap out of enemies for a while.She's still just a first-year student, though. Dumb Blonde: Completely inverted, as she's a mechanical genius.It's also referred to as Murdoch Viper Mk.II. Additionally, the seat now physically resembles Twinbee's body, with the cushion itself replacing the windshield/eye portion. Murdoch Viper now has handles for her to hang on to.She's also opted for Twinbee's iconic gloves. Of note, she wears shorts now, instead of a skirt.Art Evolution: Madoka underwent significant design changes between Gorgeous and Excellent.On Earth, she's a first-year high school student. Vapor Wear: Her transparent skirt reveals she isn’t wearing panties, and her front is only covered by an apron like segment of her dress.Īn immigrant from Planet Mel, Madoka is an engineering genius who built her own Ride Viper - Which is based on Twinbee, a hero from her planet.Super Mode: Gains one when her Platonic power overdrives near the end of Excellent, resulting in Hyper Anoa.Roboteching: Anoa's Platonic Break in Excellent is a swarm of homing lasers.Her Hyper Form is also a homage to the Metalion, the player ship of Nemesis 2, complete with 9 slots on the power-up gauge, including the Back Beam, Up & Down Lasers, and a maximum of two options. Moe Anthropomorphism: Of the Vic Viper space fighter.Magical Girl: Her Transformation Sequence is even featured in the trailer for Otomedius Excellent.Jack of All Stats: Vic Viper is identified as a 'Balance Type', and Anoa's default weapon loadout is intentionally easy to use for beginners.Hair Antennae: Which become even more prominent in her Hyper Form.Art Evolution in Excellent keeps the aesthetic, but makes Anoa's pigtails an actual extension of her bangs, furthering the split-hull/fanged appearance of the Vic Viper's hull.Girlish Pigtails: Meant to invoke the split-hull design of the Vic Viper itself.Energy Weapon: Vic Viper's primary weapon.It's impressive though when used on bosses. By the time it's charged and ready to fire, the enemies it's locked on to are most likely off the screen. The concept of her becoming more powerful as her Platonic power grows is great from a story perspective, but when it happens in gameplay, it strips all of your powers and weapons, leaving you to face the final stage with default speed, no weapons, and no options. When not saving the world, Anoa is a second year high school student at St. Anoa is a bright and cheerful girl with a penchant for blue. Arguably the main character, and a staple of Otomedius' promotional art.
